Nearly every newspaper tells of some
wonderful cure of some form of Kid

deeply rooted for Dodd's Kidney Pills
to cure.

after nearly u quarter of a century's
suffering. Mr.. Garlic says:

they are the best remedy for sick Kid

The Third Division.
The third division Of this great coun.
try lies to the north Of. the wheat belt,
between it and what is known as the for
est country. AS wheat growing implies
the raising Of all cereals, that can profit
ably be raised in the country, the remain
ing branches of mixed farming are dairy
ing and the raising of farm stock. 1t
must not be supposed that dividing the
p~rairies in this way is saying that IN
one portion of the country possesses bet
ter soil than another, for such is not the
case-all districts are equally fertile, but
the topography ind climatic influences.
ETC., differ, as well as the conditions for
production. Ranching and grain growing
are carried on quite successfully in this
northern zone; but it is found more profit
able to combine all the TEXTURES OF the
industry. On account of the land being
more broken than in the southern district
though the soil is equally fertile, there
are not the same opportunities for extern
sive operations; and while cattle raising
is as profitable here MS elsewhere, differ
ent methods have to be adopted for their
protection, especially in the winter sea-
son.
An authority on the subject has stated
that agriculture in any country never
reaches the minimum of development un-
til the farmers engage at least proper
tionately i'll dairying. though the sur
roundings must always determine the ex-
tent to which any feature of the industry
may be prosecuted. 1t is a certainty then
that of the agricultural possibilities of
this portion of the prairie country be es-
timated by Its ad%aptability to dairy farm
ing, even the most skeptical must ac-
they are unsurpassed in any
country in the world. As intimated above,
even dairying may he SUCCESSFULLY carried
in any corner Of the. territories, but
this zone has everything to recommend
it as the ideal spot for this branch Of the
business.
