land in Central Canada comprising Il
the provinces Of Manitoba, Saskat It, t
wan and Alberta-th under cultiva- +,
ton would produce from 20 to 80 bush
els Of wheat to the acre, or II seeded
to oats the yield would be 40 to 81
bushels, he was skeptical. The same E
story was told the man who wished to
get nearer to existing lines OF rail
way, and was only asked to pay $lO T.
to s12 an acre. But many tried It,
some one plan and some another: f ne.
man who accepted the 100 acres as 9
free gift, as "a homestead, and was /
willing to put in the REQUIRED resi-
dence duties Of three .years has now
a farm worth from fifteen to twenty +
dollars an acre. The man who chose
to purchase, and did SO, took up his
residence just the same. He has land land,
that, in many cases, is worth twice
the money he paid for it. Both have
found that the story Of splendid yields
was verified. They have had crops
exceeding that promised; they have
seen oats that yielded 100 bushels to
the acre, and have grown wheat that
averaged 40 and as high as 50 bushels
to the acre. Their wheat was not

GO lbs, They have seen within the
mast wear or two trunk lines Of rail-
way constructed through their district,
and throwing out branch lines to the
gates Of their farm. a They have seen
schools established In their neigh
bourhood and the Government con-
tributing largely to their expense.
Churches have been erected, villages
!. have been established, towns have
i sprung into existence and cities are
rapidly springing up, as If the magic
hand Of some unseen conjurer was at
3 work, But it was not; it was the le-
climate offering Of the wealth Of the
! field which made all these things come
about, naturally, and easy. The prai-
! RE that three years ago was merely
4 prairie, a patch Of brown, just waiting
/ for the ploughman, Is today dotted
\ with titled farms and splendid homes.
The line Of elevators with their glis-
tening metalled fireproof sides and
q roofs. indicate the location Of the
! town and the railroad. There Is the
]. glow Of newness about 1t all, but the
s elevator, the splendid store buildings
!, and the comic rtable hostelries denote
! wealth, beyond that Of the strength
) Of the man who fashioned and built
Z them but the wealth Of the soil, which y q
I means that the newness will be fol
