farmer.
Poultry Is also very profitable. bu. up
to the present. time the local demand
has absorbed the supply.
The educational facilities Ct the
country are equal to any on the con-
tinent. Rural schools are about three
miles apart in the settled districts, and
they are free. The government makes
an annual grant to each school. This
covers all expenses, including the saia-
ries Of the teachers. who are properly
certifcated. One eighteenth part OF
the whole of the Fertile Belt" from
Pembina to the Saskatchewan and be-
yond is set apart for the maintenance
of schools. This is most generous en-
dowment. In 1871 the school popula-
ton of Manitoba was ST. 1t is now
over $4,000. In 1883 the average at
tendance was 5000; it has now increas-
ed to about $4,000. n 1888 there were
246 teachers; now there are over LOO.
These schools are well inspected at in
tervals by competent educatiOnalists.
The average salary of the rural teach
ers is 1868 per year. The schools are
non-sectarian and in no character IA
tional.
In connection with educational gov
eminent, experimental farms have
been established in Manitoba and the
territories. All the different kinds OF
grain, seeds, roots, vegetables, etc.,
that it is sought to grow in the prov
ince. are sown on the varied soils
that are found on these farms. The
results are carefully noted and pub
lished for the Information and guild
ance of the farming community in the
different newspapers OF the country.
The government also sends around to
the towns and villages travelling

lectures, accompanied by practical cp-
erations by competent men. In all the
arts CT cattle raising. butter and cheese
making, etc, that all may learn the
best methods known without the loss
of time and money 10 the settlers.
Farmers Institutes have also been es-
tablished. These, affording practical
farmers the opportunity Of interchang-
ing experiences, are of great assistance
to the agricultural community.
Railways now traverse all the set
tied parts of western Canada. very
few farmers are more than dozen
miles from a market or railway. Rail-
way stations, with post Offices, and eie-
vators for the storage Of grain occur
at intervals of about seven or eight
miles.
The only remaining territory on this
continent in which ranching on large
scale can be gone into is to be found
in western Canada. The District OF
Alberta, Immediately east OF British
Columbia, is pre-eminently fitted for
ranching. Its area is 100000 square
miles. and it extends from north to
south 43O miles, and from east to west
$50 miles. The opportunities offered
here in this respect are unparalleled
by any other country in the world. The

Experimental tests of different va

for three consecutive years are given

English markets was found to be Of

Mixed farming pays we'll through
out the region. Horses and cattle
thrive well on the prairies. Almost all
classes of high bred cattle are to be
seen. Beef export is very large. but it
is now expected that the mining dis
trict Of British Columbia and the
Yukon will create a splendid home
market. The quality Of the beef is the
richest, and the cost OF production Is
reduced to a minimum the profits are
very large. Frequently an animal will
bring from $50 to $50. which did not
cost the farmer or rancher more than
a few dollars. This Is most especially
the case in the great ranching district
Of Alberta, where the herds roam tn
ranges throughout the year.

they govern themselves accordingly.

The meeting will be held to discuss the erection of a new school building at the junction of Grand avenue and Van Buren street. The number Of pupils enrolled in the city schools this year has been about 3r1 in excess of that of last year and the school rooms are OyeTcr0wded.
