Moose Jaw, ASsinibOia.
Farmers' Review. Chicago, July %,
1909
Most Of the prairles in the United
States have ceased to exist. Man has
broken them up with orchards, for
ests and farm buildings. But In West
ern Canada the prairies still stretch
grandly from horizon to horizon as yet
unmarried by the hand Of man. save
where the iron road has been laid. To
a city man there is something deli
ciously restful about the vast grassy
solitudes.
Numerous clumps of trees mark the
course of the Assiniboine River, which
keeps in sight OF the railroad for some
distance.
Grass is II Of the notable things
about all the landscape of Western
Canada 1t is IL remarkable fact that
the entire length Of the Canadian Pa
citic Railway from it's eastern termi-
nus to the Rocky Mountains is over
plains where grass grows. The sage
brush appears at some points, but
never to the exclusion of grass. There
Is thus not a mile Of this country that
cannot be used for some agricultural
purpose-either for tilling or ranch
ing.
Moose Jaw is n town Of over 1900
inhabitants and one of the most i'm
portant places in Assiniboia, being the
center Of a very good farming country
and a great grain and stock shipping
point.
Near Moose Jaw agriculture and
ranching go hand In hand: for near
the town vas seen II herd of beef rat
tie several hundred in number. On
another side was seen a good sized
herd of dairy cows, the property of
the citizens in the town.
I'm riding e the p~rairies we saw
many good fields of alfalfa. The great
need of the country is timber, which
grows readily where planted, as was
demonstrated by the shelter belts OH
some of the farms and the trees on
the residence lots i'm the town.
Stories were tod the writer Of men
who last year cleared from their wheat
crop more than the land on which It
was grown originally cost them. This
is easy to believe in view Of the large
crop n high price for wheat last
year.'-Henry T.. Thurston.

agent of the Canadian Government you
