now at what the farmers of the terrific

There was no installing the fact that
Edith was interested in Godfrey Bys-

with him or not her aunt could not say.
The sole objection that could be urged

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 MS 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 fa1:, stock. N
must not be supposed that dividing tho
prairies in this way Is saving that any
one portion of the country possesses bet
ter soil than another, for such is not tho
case-all districts are equally fertile. but
the topography and climatic influences.
etc, differ, as we'll as the conditions for
production. Ranching and grain growing
are carried on quite successfully in this
northern zone; but it is found more proGt.
able to combine all the features of the
industry. On account of the land hein.
more broken than in the southern district
though the soil is equally fertile. tbere
are not the same opportunities for exten-
sive operations; and while cattle raisine
is rs profitable here as elsewhere differ,
ent methods have to be adopted for thoir
protection, especially in the winter coo.
son.
An authority on the subject has stated
that agriculture in any country never
reaches tho minimum of DEVELOPMENT nm.
til the farmers engage at least pronor-
tionately In dairyng, though the sur
roundings must always determine the cy.
tent to which any feature of the industry
may be prosecuted. 1t is certainty then
that of the agricultural possibilities Of
this portion of the prairie country be es-
timated by it's adaptability to dairy farm.
ing, even the most skeptical must ac-
knowledge they are unsurpassed in INV
country in the world. AS intimated above.
even dairying may be successfully carried
on in any corner of the territories. but
this zone has everything to recommend
1t as the ideal spot for this branch of the
business.
In the territories creameres and cheese
factories are to a large extent under gov
eminent control, and as such are working
well. In Manitoba they are largely a
matter of private enterprise, and from
the reports from that province they mist
be giving absolute satisfaction to the pat
rons and promoters. If settlers farm
is not especially adapted to extensive
cropping, or if seasons or other condi-
tons are against the proper development
of large crops, he has always plenty of
pasture and an abundance of native hay
for winter feed a small sum of money
buys a couple of COWS, and he can soon
be in possession Of fine herd of dairy
cattle, and the same may be said of
swine and poultry.
The mining districts of British Co
lumbia, which consume all immense lot
of dairy products, are close at hand and
always afford good market for butter,
cheese. pork, poultry and eggs.

Novelty in Flowers. Groom Primrose.


Ladies' Field: The green rose is a
very old and rather ugly novelty" that
crops up afresh from time to time as
q catch-Denny attraction. and there are
one or two other plants with green
flowers that are usually more curious
than attractive. A somewhat rare
greennowered Lenten rose. heileborus
viridis multifidus. is really rather good,
but the ordinary form, h. V. dune
forum is unattractive.. The prettiest
green-fowered rock plant is perhaps

flowers close TO the ground. the bright.
green petaled blossoms. with pretty

is another alpine that tse curious in
green-iiowered rockery subjects might
try; but as 1t is high alpine, it's cul-
ture will be for careful gardeners only.
The latest invention in the way of
green-liowered varieties is an addition
to that familiar family, our own yellow

1t is known, however, that the country
is settling up fast.
Englishmen and Americans in the
western territories are bringing in their
herds MS 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
41,471 head OF cattle shipped and sold
frozn the ranches, these figures ran to
65, 1919 in 1900, and to 100000 in 1903,
averaging $40 per head for the owners.
But 1t takes q great many ranchers and
a large number Of cattle to cover an area
Of 2O0,OO0.OOO acres, the area available
for ranching in the Canadian Northwest
1t is not at all necessary that large
investments should be made at the out
set. Many men commenced with small
capital and small herds, and have worke ed
themselves into large herds and great
wealth. There is still in the country
plenty Of room for those who desire to
go and do likewise.
