A SENSIBLE LETTER.
\ Western Canadian settler Writes
10 an Illinois Friend.

In writing to Mr.. r. Hawkyard, Of
Rockford, Ill, MIR G. Simpkins, of Lc-
due, Alberta, Western Canada, (and to
which points especially low rates are be-
ing quoted over all lines of railway,
says;
Dear Sir-Rec'd your letter the 14th
inst. We have had no snow till after
Christmas, and the cattle have been
able to live out, and are all in good con-
diton. 1t is showing now. That is
what we want-haye about 6 inches
now. The old settlers say when we
have lots of snow it means a good crop
the coming season. Itncver drifts here.
The weather is calm and bright We
do not have to dress any heavier than in
Illinois, and the horses never SILVER
with the cold when we take them from
the warm stable, as they do in Illinois.
1t has not frozen in the stable this
winter.
The most of the stock runs out but
there is no need OF it, for timber is plen-
tiful and there is no expense TO build
good stables and houses. We have good
log houses and they are very warm.
Two men can put up house lGN2i in
two days There are good rails for
fences We live ten miles from the coal
district. the price being 50 cents up to
$500. The land is very rich. loamy soil,
from inches to several feet in depth;
the hills have the deepest 1t is roll
ing country, and excellent for stock of
all kinds. Sheep do well, and there
are plenty of small lakes where the
cattle can get good water. The cattle
got out of grass last year, about the
middle of April and rum at large; I'M
less in charge of a hcrdsman, we have
to fence against them Wheat goes
from s. to so bushels per acre, oats 50
and 90, very often a hundred. As topota-
toes, a neighbor planted bushels and
dug 226 bushels, and no bugs. Roots of
all kinds do we'll There are lots of
Strawberries and lots of red raspbcrries,
black and red currants, and gOoscber-
ries, where the fire has not burnt them.
Cattle are scarce. | have been trying
to buy some for months and have got
only three two-year-old, and paid $50
each.

sell for cents dressed, and cost more
for stockers. Wheat, 50 cents per bushel;
oats. 25 cents; eggs 30 cents a dozen;
butter, Is and 20 cents; poultry was 10
and II cents dressed. Sheep are scarce.
If you come, bring your farm tools,
but bring no seeders; we Sse drills.
Bring COWS, but do not bring horses
unless you are an experienced hand
in shipping them, for so many Of
them are hurt in shipping There
will be plenty of work for a binder.
Two good horses win break, but three
lighter are better. The horses you
get here can work without grain, but
are better with it. 1t will ice hard to
tell what prices horses will be, for the
immigration viii be very large the
coming spring. They could not be
had last spring at one time. They claim
the best time to break is june, but my
experience is to break in the spring
and work it. You can break till the
middle of July.
