A SEN3IDLE LETTER , A Weitern Cainulliin Bottler U'lltcs to nil llllnnli Friend. In writing to Mr. T. Ilawkynrd , of Rockford , 111. , Mr. 0. Slmpklns , or Lcduc , Albcrtn , Western Canada ( and to which points especially low rates arc being quoted over nil lines of rail way ) , anys : Dear Sir : Rec'd your letter the 14th Inst. Wo 1'avo had. no snow till after ChrlBtmna and the , cattle have been able to live out , and are all In good condition. It Is snowing now. That Is what wo want ; have about 6 inches now. The old settlers say when wo have lots of snow It means a good crop the coming season. It never drifts hero. The weather Is calm and bright. Wo do not have to dress any heavier than In Illinois , and the horses never shiver with the cold when wo take them from the warm stables , as they do In Illinois. It has not frozen In the stable this winter. The most of the stock runs out , but there is no need of It , for timber Is plentiful and there Is no expense to build good stables and houses. Wo have good log houses and they nro very warm. Two men can put up a house 16x24 In two days. There nre good rails for fences. Wo Hvo ten miles from the coal district , the price being from 50 cents up 10 $2.00. The land is n very rich , loamy Boll , from G Inches to several feet lu depth ; the hills have the deepest. It Is a rolling country , and excellent for stock of all kinds. Sheep do well , and there are plenty of small lakes where the cattle can get good water. The cattle got out. of grass last year , about the middle of April , and run at large ; unless In charge of a herdsman , wo have to fence against them. Wheat goes from 35 to 00 bushels per acre , oats 80 to 90 , very often over a hun dred. As to potatoes , a neighbor planted 7 bushels and dug 226 bushels and no bugs. Roots of all kinds do well. There are lots of strawberriea nnd lots of red raspberries , black and 'red currants , and gooseberries , whore the fire has not burnt them. Cattle are scarce. I have been trying to buy eomo for 8 months and have got only three two-year-old , and paid $30 each. Hogs are scarce , but can be got. They sell for C cents dressed , and cost more for stackers. Wheat 60 cents per bu. , oats 25 cents , eggs 30 cents a dozen , butter 16 and 20 cents , poultry was 10 and 11 cents dressed. Sheep are scarce. If you come , bring your farm tools , but bring no seeders ; we use drills. Bring cows , but do not bring horses unless you ore an experienced hand In shipping them , for so many of them are hurt In shipping. There will bo plenty of work for a binder. Two good horses will break , but three light er are better. The horses you get hero can work without grain , but are better with It. It will be hard to tell what prices horses will be , for the Immigra tion will bo very large the coming spring. They could be had last spring at ono time. They claim the best time to break Is June , but my experience is to break In the spring and work It. You can break till the middle of July , L An Evidence of 1'roiperlty. It Is generally conceded by economists - mists , who study the commercial slt- [ ! ( . uatlon of the country , that the great arteries of railway travel are a sure Indication of Its condition. A depres sion in commercial lines means aban doned business trips and the cancella tion of pleasure travel , while a healthy condition of affairs means business trips and an Increase of passengers on pleasure bent. A good evidence that a business re vival has gone broadcast over this country Is the "Lake Shore Limited , " the star train of the Vanderbllt sys tem , between New York and Chicago , which Is dally comfortably filled. With a view to taking the best possible care of its patrons , the New York Central has arranged to Increase the equip ment of this train by placing an addi tional standard sleeper on the trains leaving New York and Chicago Tues days , Thursdays and Saturdays. To the regular traveler the appointments and comforts of this train are well known , but If you have never made a trip on it , you owe it to yourself to see and enjoy the advance made in comfort and luxury In modern railway travel. Remember the fare is no high er on this train , except between New York and Chicago , while the accommo dations and service place this particu lar train conspicuously at the head of the list , when compared with other lines.
