there are in this district Of country at
the present time, it is hard to say, as
there are no positive statistics available.
1t is known, however, that the country
is settling up fast.
Englshmen and Americans in the
western territories are bringing in their
herds as fast as they can and leasing
or purchasing land in lots from 1000 to
10000 acres from the Dominion Govern
ment An idea of the growth of the in
dustry will, however. be gathered from
the fact that in 1899 there were but

from the ranches, these figures ran to
30, 129 in 1900. and to 1910, 900 in 1903.

But it takes a great many ranchers and
large number of cattle to cover an area
of 2OO,000.OO0 acres. the area available
for ranching in the Canadian Northwest.

investments should be made ut the out

Special correspondence:

Special correspondence:
The old Romans used to say that Gaul
was divided into three parts; so is the
Canadian Northwest. Gaul's divisions
were political; those of the Western
Canada's prairies are created by the I'M
erring hand Of nature.
Chiefly because of the elevation of the
country the absence of large lakes and
rivers, and the operations of the Chi
nook" or Pacific ocean winds. which
readily cross the Rocky Mountains in
Southern Alberta through gaps and
passes, the southwestern portion of the
Canadian provinces is regarded as some
what arid, and less fertile than other por-
tons of the country. Although this has
been prevailing idea in the past, 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,

that figure, now as the average yield is
70 bushels, and the average price 90
cents-S12 per acre-the difference be-
tween the result and cost, $6.75, is the
profit of grain growing year in and year
out in the great wheat belt of the Cana
dian prairie country. If man has a
half section of land and puts half Of it,
100 acres, under wheat, which is a very
common occurrence. he makes $1.0S0 on
wheat alone, and should make. if he is
a capable farmer enough, out of other
crops, sale of cattle, dairy and other pro-
duets, to keep himself and family the
year round besides.
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
pTairies in this way is saying that any
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 and 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 proit-
able 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 extern
sive operations; and while cattle raising
is as profitable hare as 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 an
til the farmers engage at least proper
tionately in 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 ~
this portion of the prairie country be e'-
timated by its adaptability to dairy farm
