haustible fertility and well watered.
and Mt the same time easily worked, be-
ing prepared by nature for the pillow, you
may reasonably expecttO find farmings .
profitable occupation and the farmers in
such q country making more than a bare
living. Agriculture in such country IS
like mining simply taking gold rom
the soil in the shape of the finer grades
0f wheat and other cereals, and 1t pos
sesses the great advantage over mining
that the amount Of actual work noses
sary to make it pay is comparatively
very small.
Upon the greSt fertile p~rairieso 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 CT mag
niicent crops for the season OF 1890.
Their gold is golden grain, but it
yields rs 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 70 30 bushels per acre, and wne"0
osts yielded frequently IS bushels per
acre Of choice grain. Upon one farm of
l.SOO acres. the crop Of wheat and pats
close to Co. 600 bushels. and of this
the first lot of 20. Goo bushels Of wheat
was sold for SO and s0c per bushel.
Close beside this large farm was a 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 q bushel more than his
wealthy neighbcr, which meant just
$3.50 for his first season in wheat alone.
With a climate peculiarly adapted to
grain-growing, and a p~opnlatson repre-
nearly every nation. Western

chance to succeed among
or fellow c~ountrymen of his cwn.
