A brake adapted for use on a bicy-
Gle was made the subject of a recent
patent.
The invention consists of pneumat-
&c piston and cylinder which is fast
ened to the frame of the bicycle. Inc
piston is provided with plunger rod,
extending outward from the cylinder,
and is shaped into a spring bow at IT'S
end, upon the ends of which is fast
ened span of plant material, such as
leather The cylinder of the device IS
poSitioned on the frame of the bicycle
SO as to allow clearance of the span
with the wheel, and when set by pneu-
matte pressure it engages with SAID
wheel and retards its motion.
A rubber tube connects with bulb,
held within convenient reach of the
rider on the handle bars, and is adapt
eu, when depressed by the hand, to set
the brake and hold it set until the
oulb is released.

M, V. McInnes, Esq, Colonization
Agent, Detroit, Mich. Dear Strive
have just returned from the West, and
We're exceedingly we'll pleased with the
country. We are going back to take
up our homesteads in early spring. We
received $35 per month and board
working for farmers, and the board
was the best we ever had-the beef and
mutton especially were excellent. The
fine flavor is owing to the fine grasses
which the cattle and sheep feed upon.
The people are very hospitable, and
treat their hired help with much kind
ness.
The grain is much heavier than
here; wheat being 62 lbs, to the bushel;
oats 48 lbs, and barley often IS lbs.
Any man with good team and
money enough to buy provisions and
seed for six months can become rich
there in five years. Many people who
arrived there five years ago with
little, or nothing, are we'll off now.
One man | met held his wheat from
last year and was offered $4,000 for
this years crop and what he had held
over from last year, and is holding at
II per bushel We are going back in
the spring to work for this same farm
er until seeding, after which we will
homestead between seeding and har-
vest. We think we will settle on the
Manitoba & Northwestern r. r.
You can refer any one to us for this
part of the country, while we are here,
and we will cheerfully answer any
questions which anyone may wish to
ask, Yours truly,

Dear Friends Of aginaw:-Those de-

will do well to take our advice. and
examine the land in the neighborhood
of Alameda, as we know that every
one who sees this land will be agree
ably surprised. Before seeing this
land We were partly in doubt as to
moving here, but after looking it over
we at once decided to make our home
here, and we beg those of our friends
who are DESTROYS of securing farms.
not to let this chance slip by, as the
soil is of the best and the water can
not be excelled. The finest wheat we
ever saw is also raised here.
We shall return home in haste
straighten out our affairs, and move

Winnipeg, Man., Sept 10, 1897.
Mr.. NJ. V. McInnes, Chief Colonial
ton Agent, Detroit, Mich. Dear Sir
We are pleased to state to you that we
have found the country in the vicinity
OF Alameda fully up to what you and
Mr.. Keller had represented it to be. It
is, in fact, an ideal location for mixed
farming. The soil is the best we ever
saw, and as the farmers were all busy
at threshing, we had an excellent
chance to see its productive quality.
which cannot be surpassed anywhere.
The cattle could not be in better con-
dltion. We saw two year old steers
equal to three year old raised in most
places, and these, as are all others
about Alameda, were fed on native hay
In winter and herded in summer. AS
we had previous to this visited the
Northwestern States in behalf of a
large number of farmers, to locate
suitable land for mixed farming, we
are now in a position to say that the
Alameda district of Western Canada
surpasses them all. The country is
equal to that about Thuringen in Ger
many. We were rather sceptic before
starting, and our intention was to set
tie In spring, if we were suited, but
we have now decided to move at once;
that is, as early this fall as we pos
sibly can. We left Mr.. Riedel at
Alameda, and take back his report, and
we will take his family and effects With
US when we go.
