trict for wheat growing, ~ is not good
for mixed operations as well. 1t is be-
cause it is level, has sufficient rain
fall every year, plenty of snow in the
winter for moisture in the early spring
and favorable climatic conditions the
year round that it is specially marked for
this branch of husbandry.
In this part of the country wheat is
king. and here it is raised in the great
est possible perfection by combination
of soil and climate in its favor, and the
tendency has been to neglect the more
Iaborious branches of husbandry for
which the country is equally well
adapted.
AS if to cope with the offerings OF ma
ture. the railway companies are ready
with their railways to haul the grain as
soon as it is relieved from the straw in
the fields by the threshers. Throughout
this entire belt there is an enormous
length of railway mileage, branches are
radiating in every direction from the
trunks until they scarcely leave grain
field more than six or seven miles from
road, and they are all required, for in
the fall and early winter the SlSht OF the
| trains passing to and from the elevators
at the railway depots makes the entire
country look like one hive of industry.

IN WESTERN CANADA
THREE DIVISIONS AFFoRDING
CHANCE FOR SETTLEMENT.
They Are Specially Adapted to Ranch
ing, Wheat Growing and Mixed
Farming-Many Americans
Settling There.

The old Romans used to say that Gaul
was divided into three parts. So is the
Canadian northwest Gaui's divisions
were political; those of western Cana
da's prairies are created by the unerring
hand of nature.
The First Division.
Chiefly because of the elevation of the
country, the absence of large lakes and
rivers, and the operations of the
Chinook" or Pacific ocean winds,
which readily cross the Rocky noun
tains in southern Alberta through gaps
and passes, the southwestern portion
of the Canadian provinces is regarded as
somewhat arid, and less fertile than
other portions OF the country. Al
though this has been prevailing idea
in the east, it has been left for American
settlers who have invaded this district
within the past two or three years to
prove that splendid crops of grain can
be grown on the land which had hitherto
been the feeding ground for the herds Of
cattle and bands of horses that ranged
here.
That ranching is carried on most sue
cessfully in other portions of the prairies
west, just as agriculture is to limited
extent conducted successfully within
this boundary, is fully established, but
taken as a whole it constitutes terri

and Wolf was probably fatally burned.

POWER FROM NIAGARA FALLS.
Three New Companies on the Cana
dian side Are Arranging to Genar-
ate Electricity with Turbines.

dian Side Are Arranging to Gcnsr-
ate Electricity with Turbines.
Three companies are now working
hard on the Canadian side of the Nj
agara to prepare for generating cleo
trical power from the falls. Two Of
these companies are controlled by
American capital, the third exclusive
ly by Canadian and English capital
All expect to sell their product on the
Canadian side and to distribute pow
er to points as much as 200 miles dis
tant from the falls.
Each company has encountered
some interesting engineering prob
lens in the course of the work. One
company, for example, has had to
plan for a roof of unusual strength
over its power house, because it is
expected that the spray from the falls
in winter will thatch the roof with
five feet of solid ice.
No part of the work is more inter
esting than that undertaken by the
Canadian company. The penstock, or
great trench, of this company, at the
bottom of which will be placed the
turbines that are to generate the
power, is 500 feet from the center Of
the Horseshoe falls.
This great trench is to be $50 feet
deep by 400 feet long and 80 feet wide.
The problem presented was to dis
charge :he water from the bottom Of
this trench after it had passed through
the turbines and done its work.
The engineers decided that in order
to accomplish this a tunnel should be
extended from the bottom of the pen
stock to the center of the Horseshoe
falls. For this purpose a shaft about
ten feet square was sunk on the Cana
dian side a little above the falls to a
depth of about $50 feet.

OF course an exceptional expenditure.
as when it is once done it is done
for all time. This costs about $3.50
per acre After the breaking, plow-
ing and seeding. harvesting, threshing
and marketing, all expenses combined
amount to about $5.25 per acre; that
is, if man has everything done it
will cost him $525 per acre. If he
does the work himself he is earning
wages while producing at that fig
ure. Now as the average yield is 20
bushels, and the average price 50 cents
SIP per acre-the difference between
the result and cost, s675, is the profit
of grain growing year in and year
out in the great wheat belt of the
Canadian prairie country. If a man
has a half section of land and puts
half OF it, 100 acres, under wheat,
which is a very common occurrence,
he makes $1,080 on wheat alone and
should make if he is a capable farm
er enough out of ether crops, sale of
cattle, dairy and other products 10
keep himself and family the year
round besides.
The Third Division.
The third division of this great
country lies to the north of the wheat
belt between it and what is known
as the forest country. AS wheat
growing implies the raising of all
cereals, that can profitably be raised
in the country, the remaining
branches of mixed farming are dairy
ing and the raising of farm stock.
1t must not be supposed that dividing
the prairies in this way is saying that
any one portion Of the country pos
sesses better soil than another, for
such is not the case-all districts arc
equally fertile, but the topography
and climatic influences differ, as we'll
as the conditions for production.
RanChing and grain growing are car
ried on quite successfully in this
northern zone; but it is found more
profitable to combine all the features
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 extensive operations;
and while cattle raising is as profitable
here as elsewhere, different methods
have to be adopted for their protec-
ton, especially in the winter season.
An authority On the subject has
stated that agriculture in any coun-
try never reaches the minimum OF
development until the farmers engage
at least proportionately in dairying,
though the surroundings must always
determine the extent to which any
feature of the industry may be prose-
cuted. 1t is certainly then that il
the agricultural possibilities of this
portion of the prairie country he esti-
mated by its adaptability to dairy
farming even the most skeptical must
acknowledge they are unsurpassed in
any country in the world AS init
mated above, even dairying may be
successfully carried on in any corner
Of the territories, but this zone has
everything to recommend it as the
ideal spot for this branch of the busi-
ness.
The mining districts OF British
Columbia, which consume an immense
lot of dairy products, are close at
hand and always afford a good mar
ket for butteI. ckeese. pork, poultry
and eggs.

Virginia Man Connects His Bicycle

II. G. Hitner, a resident OF Edinburg,

genius and the result of his efforts is
that the weekly family wash day, in
stead of being a burden as il is to
most people, is the day he most enjoys
OF any of the six whereon man is per
mittcd to labor. He is the owner of a
rotary washing machine which he
geared to his bicycle after the latter
had been suspended in frame. After

water and soap Harry lights a cigar,
mounts his bicycle and wheels away.
By the time he has pedaled enough
TO take him to New Market, if the

the past few months, and it helps to
prove what everybody says about us,
viz: The old town is surely on
