MONEY MADE IN LIVE STOCl
IN central CANADA.

w. ]. Henderson, visiting Seattle,
writes the Canadian Government
Agent at Spokane, Wash, and says:
i have neighbors in Central Canada
raising wheat, barley and oats for the
past 20 years, and are now getting
from the same land 20 to 80 bushels of
wheat per acre, 40 to 60 bushels of
oats.
1t was the first week of May when /
got my tent pitched, but the farmers
all around had finished putting in
their crops, SO / only got fifteen acres
broke and seeded. They advised me
as it was late not to put in much
wheat, so / put in five acres of wheat
and ten acres oats, one-half acre pota-
toes and vegetables. All kinds of veg.
etables grow well up there, sweet corn,
tomatoes, onions, carrots, peas, beans,
cabbage. My wheat yielded about 20
bushels per acre. for which / got 76
cents, others got 80 cents; oats
threshed 35 bushels per acre. for which
l got 35 cents per bushel. You see
was three weeks late in getting them
In, still was satisfied.
From my observation, there is more
money made in stock, such as cattle,
horses and sheep, as prices are high
for such, and it costs nothing to raise
them, as horses live the year around
out on the grass. In fact, farmers turn
their work horses out for the winter
and they come in fresh and fat in the
spring. Cattle live out seven or eight
months. They NOW the prairie grass
and stack 1t for winter and give oat
straw. My neighbors sold steers al
$40 each, and any kind of a horse
that can pillow, from $4,000 up. rabed
SO chickens and pigs, as pork, chick
ems. butter and eggs pay well and al
ways a good market for anything q
man raises. so have every reason te
be thankful, besides, at the end Of
three years get my patent for home
stead. I heard of no homestead sell
