Rich Rocky River Bottoms.

We mentioned year ago the re-
markable crop of corn raised by w.
Q. Hammond on $50 acres of bottom
land on Rocky river, aggregating over
5000 bushels, says the Honea Path
Is. c. Chronicle. The present year
he has done even better than that.
He planted 10 acres of bottom land
and has finished gathering the corn,
which has yielded him 7,40O bushels,
or fraction over 67 bushels to the
acre. This is a wonderful crop. In
addition to that he has gathered about
$50 bales OF cotton by field weights, as
none of it has been ginned yet. This
crop has cost him, he says, cash out
lay of about $4,000. At $25 a bale this
cotton will pay the expense of making
the crop and leave him a net profit of
$500 and all his corn. Or, if the corn
were sold at the current market price
OF 60 cents per bushel, it would bring
$4,000, nearly enough to pay the ex-
pense. He has twenty-six mules on his
farm and his farm operations have
been conducted by force of thirty
five convicts. Besides this, he raised
1000 bushels of oats. He informs us
that his corn crop would have been
larger. but fifteen acres Of it were badly
damaged by the cut worms. lie says
he had several acres that produced
over 100 bushels to the acre. And, be-
sides, he now has on hand a quantity
OF his last years crop Of corn for
sale. This is the most successful ex-
ample of good farming We know of.

da, Western Canada, before taking up
their home there visited the coun-
try as delegates. They reported to
the Government of the Dominion Of
Canada the result of their observations,
and from this report extracts have
been taken, which are published below:
We have visited number Of most
desirable locations, and are highly
pleased with the country as a whole,
IT being beyond our highest expecta-
tons. We find here prosperous and
weil-contented lot Of people. They
nave comfortable homes, and their vast
fields OF wheat and other crops in addi-
ton to their herds of choice cattle, in
dictate prosperity in the full sense of
the word. In conversation with the
farmers throughout our trip we learned
that the majority of them came here
with very limited means. and some
with no more than enough to
bring them here, and they are now
well-to-do. They all claim that this is
the only country for poor man, or
one with little means, to get a start
and make home for himself and fam
lily. AS you are aware, we were
little shaky and undecided before leav-
ing Detroit, but have determined since
that we, with our friends, will make
this country our future home. 1t is
far from being the wilderness we had
pictured it to be; it is, instead, land
having all the facilities required by
modern civilization, such as railroads,
markets, stores, churches, schools, ETC.,
in fact. an ideal home for those having
the future welfare of themselves and
families at heart ("
The Messrs. Striovski selected the
Alameda district, but what they say
OF 1t applies in general way to most
other districts in that vast country.
They speak Of the fuel. which is to be
had in great quantities., of the water
that can be had by digging from 10 to
20 feet, and OF the good grazing land
to be had almost everywhere. There is
plenty of wood for building timber and
for fuel, while coal is convenient, and
sells at low prices at the mines. In
driving through the country they
passed may fine patches of wild rasp-
berries, and say they can speak highly
OF their flavor, as they could not resist
the temptation to stop and eat.
Having already transgressed on your
valuable space, l shall defer further
reference to Western Canada for an
other issue. An illustrated pamphlet
recently issued by the Department Of
the Interior, Ottawa, Canada, giving a
complete description of the country,
will be forVNrded free to all who write

was detained at neighbours house on
stormy night by some fascinating
stories that were being told him, and

awhile he saw in the distance a Ian

CAN A,

A Cincinnati Klondike party passed
through Winnipeg, Manitoba, few
days since, on their way to the gold
fields. Two or three ladies accompa-
MED them, and as they passed through
the streets Of that Western Canadian
city, they were the objects Of consider
able attention, in their costumes Of
leather leggings and buckskin suits,
the same as were worn by the gentle
men of the party.
