WESTERN cANADA's RESOURCES.
EarmIna Very successful.

BY Western or Northwest Canada Is
usually meant the great agricultural
country west Of Ontario, and north OF
Minnesota, North Dakota, and Mon
tana. Part OF It Is agricultural prairie
treeless in places, park like in 9th -
part is genuine plains, well adapta@ap
cattle ranches; part requires irTiga-
ton for successful tillage most OF It
does not. The political divisions OF
this region are the Province OF Mani
toba and the territorial district OF AS
siniboia, Saskatchewan. Alberta and
Athabaska. At present. however, the
latter is too remote for immediate
practical purposes.
The general character Of the soil OF
Western Canada is a rich black, clay
loan with a clay subsoil. Such soil
is particularly rich in food for the
wheat plant. The subsoil is a clay.
which retains the winter frost until 1t
is thawed out by the warm rays OF
the sun and drawn upward to stimu-
late the growth of the young wheat. so
that even in dry seasons wheat is a
good crop. The clay soil also retains
the heat of the sun later in the sum-
mer and assists in the early ripening
of the grain. 1t is claimed that cul-
tivation has the effect of increasing
the temperature of the soil several
degrees, as well as the air above 1t.
Western Canada climate is good
cold in winter, hot in summer, but
with cool nights. Violent storms Of
any kind are rare. The rainfall 's not
heavy. 1t varies with places but aver
ages about II inches. 1t falls usually
at the time the growing crops need it.
The Department Of the Interior. OF
tawa, Canada, has agents established
at different points throughout the
United States who will be pleased to
forward an Atlas of Western Canada
and give such other information as to
railway rate, etc, as may be required
That agriculture in Western Canada
pays is shown by the number of testi-
monials given by farmers. The fol.
lowing is an extract made from a let.
ter from farmer near Moose Jaw

hundred acres Of land, fifty horses and
