SEEDING IN PROGRESS IN WEST.
ERIN CANADA.
Mild Weather Is Bringing Thousands
of Settlers.

Mild Weather Is Bringing Thousands
of Settlers.
The splendid yields of wheat, oats
and barley produced by the farmers of
Western Canada and the excellent
prices received for the same, have
been the means OF giving an increased
interest throughout the United States
AS result the inquiries made Of the
agents of the Canadian Government
have nearly doubled over those of the
same period last year. Railroad com
panies are putting on increased car
rying capacity to meet the demand
made upon them for carrying passen
gers and freight Everything points to
a most prosperous year. There is room
for hundreds of thousands additional
settlers, much new land having been
opened up for settlement this year
1t is quite interesting to look
through the letters received from the
Americans who have settled in West
ern Canada during the past few years,
and considering the large number, it
is surprising how few there are who
have not succeeded. An extract from
letter written by Mr.. Geo. w. Girls
void, Of Red Deer, Alta, formerly
Of Greber, Mont, written on the %
of January, is as follows:
II am located one and one-half miles
from a beautiful lake ten miles long.

stores, creamery and two postoffices.

steers), horses, hogs and sheep are roll.

laid bare the fields and pasture. There
are fine wheat, oats, barley and fax
raised here, also winter wheat and
timothy hay for export to British Co

to get foothold in the Canadian
West as it was some years ago in the
United States. We are free from wind

clear, soft well and spring water at
a depth of from five to twenty-five
feet, and lots Of open overlooking

TeleSraphic advices from Medicine
Hat say that seeding has commences
at Medicine Hat, Lethbridge, and 9th
er points. At the former place the
temperature moderated gradually until
on the 10th the maximum was 40 ana
the minimum 26. Thermometer read
ings since then have been as follows:
10th, AZ and 38; 2lst, "a and "a; go.
90 and 80; 23d, 48 and 40; oath. AZ

During the last few days in Feb
ruary considerable ploughing was done
near Lethbridge p. A. Pulley, a re-
cent arrival from Montana, ploughed
and narrowed fifteen acres and e. Lal-

Bricklaying has also begun in town.
AT Hartney, further east, on the 25th
OF February, the sun was warm and
bright, wheeled carriages were in use
and the plowed fields look as if they
are ready for the press drills There
is every appearance that spring has
arrived, but farmers do not wish to
be deceived by appearances and conse-
quently have not commenced to use
their bluestone and seed wheat
