Il was on the 18th OF May that the
writer received a letter from a friend
In Western Canada dated the 18th Of
the same month. Information was
conveyed In the letter that its author
had travelled over a considerable pors
ton Of Western Canada. He had coy.
cred most of the settled portions, and
from those he had not covered he had
secured information that amplifed
his own observations Of condition.
throughout all the vast area Of tina;
country. He found seeding Of wheat
practically completed, and placed in
bed Of earth that was in condition
that warranted speedy and healthy
termination. This was borne out by
evidence that. he was a witness Of
wheat that had been. in the ground
four days that was already breaking
through, and that which had been
seeded FOR week was well above the
ground, the field being as green as
a new pasture plot. Everywhere this
condition existed. It will be pleasing
Information for those who have
friends in Western Canada-in any
part Of 1t, no matter where they may
be-to learn that conditions have
opened up in such splendid way, and
to be advised that the, prospects were
never brighter than now. When Il
becomes known that conditions are 90
satisfactory, many who were waiting,
uncertain what to do in the matter Of
moving, will doubtless now come to q
decision. With the opening Of thou
sands Of homesteads, which took place
on the LIST Of May, there was q rush
to take advantage Of the opportunity
to secure 100 acres Of excellent land
free, within speaking distance Of q
railroad. The low railway rates
granted by means Of certificate is.
sued BY Canadian government agents,
located at different points in the
States, make 1t. possible to make q
trip Of inspection at small cost.
Dat and barley farming are branches
that add considerable to the wealth
Of the farmer who desires to make
money quickly. That these grains can
be grown so successfully, and easily,
makes It possible to go into other
branches Of farming industry, that
give stability to It, wherever they are
carried on. They are dairying and
cattle-raising. There is an excellent
market for the product, and the eli.
mate aids materially In assisting. It,
while the native grasses, as well as
cultivated varieties, bring the. cost OF
production to a much lower figure than
10 possible on lands that are much
higher in price, with no better. yield:
ing qualities. Then, again, It is amply
shown that fodder corn can be grown
!. with great success, and that sunfow.
ers, which it has been fully proven
are little behind, II any, in food quail
ty, thrive wonde rfully. In fact, these
two folders, In addition to which may
be added that Of alfalfa and sweet
clover, in which Western Canada
farmers are well apace: with growers
elsewhere. have brought abont . pc
Rod Of silo-building which promises
to eclipse any effort in this line made
anywhere on the continent, In Mani
toba alone, one firm is building two
hundred this year. In Saskatchewan
many orders have been placed in one
small district in Alberta, where nifty
were erected last year, another fifty
will be built this summer. That there
will be thousand silos erected In the
three provinces this year seems TO- be
a conservative estimate. To the farm.
er in the States, who knows the adj
vantage Of the silos, who Is interested
In the fodder to be grown to fill them,
what does this mean Advertisement.
