In a Prairie Land.

Moose Jaw, Assiniboia.
Farmers Review, Chicago, July %.
19O3.l
Most OF the prairies 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 get
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 ciumDs of trees mark the
course of the Assiniboine River, which
keeps in sight of the railroad for some
distance.
Grass is one of the notable things
about all the landscape of Western
Canada. 1t is a remarkable fact that
the entire length of the Canadian Pa
cific Railway from its eastern termi-
nus to the Rocky Mountains is over
plains where grass grows. The sage
brush appears at some points, bu.

center of very good farming country
and a great grain and stock shipping
point.
Near Moose Jaw agriculture and
ranching so hand in hand: for near
the town was seen a herd of beef cat

another side was seen a good sized
herd of dairy COWS, the property OF
the citizens in the town.
"In riding over the prairies 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 on
some of the farms and the trees on
the residence lots in the town.
Stories were told the writer of men
who last year cleared from their wheat
crop more than the land on which it

is easy to believe in view OF the large
