GOLD FROM FARm-LANDS.


haustible fertility and well watered,
and at the same time easily worked, be-
ing prepared by nature for the plow, you
may reasonably expect to find farming
profitable occupation and the farmers in
such a country making more than a baie
living. Agriculture in such a country is
like mining simply taking gold from
the soil in the shape of the finer grades
of wheat and other cereals, and it pos
sesses the great advantage over mining
that the amount of actual work neces-
sary to make it pay is comparatively
very small.
Upon the great fertile prairies of West
ern Canada, where millions of acres of
the richest land in the world are COM
prised within the Provinces of Mani
itoba, Assiniboia, Alberta, etc, settlers,
old and new, have simply taken gold
from the ground in the shape of mag
nificent crops for the season of 1890.
Their gold is golden grain, but it
yields as sure returns as any metal ever
mined. The writer visited farm after
farm in Manitoba the past season
where the yield of wheat averaged from
80 to SO bushels per acre, and where
oats yielded frequently rs bushels per
acre of choice grain. Upon one farm of
1880 acres, the crop of wheat and oats
was close to 10000 bushels, and of this
the first lot of 30, ZOO bushels of wheat
was sold for SIC and soc per bushel.
Close beside this large fam was q small
one from which the owner had taken
his first crop. He had started with no
capital the year before, yet his crop of
wheat was 1000 bushels and the quality
was so good that he got s5c per bushel
for it, one cent bushel more than his
wealthy neighbor, which meant just
$3.50 for his first season in wheat alone.
With climate peculiarly adapted to
grain-growing, and a population repre-
senting nearly every nation, Western
Canada offers to the settler a mos
favorable chance to succeed among
friends or fellow countrymen of his own.
