l\Innltob/1 / In the eastern portion of
'tho country : wns created II. province II.
, , year after the purchase from the Hud.
Bon Bay Compnny In 1870. In 1882 ,
the western country was tapped by
the extended main lIne of the C. P. R.

The tew thousnnd people of these
days hnvo grown Into the hnlf m111lon
of to.dny.
Let us now note sarno of the ovl.
, .
Ing on to Its confines to bring It to
I the trent ns II. field for most extensive
and profitable settlemont.
The whole country embrncet an
nrea of over 385,000,000 acres and do-
ductlng water and brolen land there
Is plenty of wheat growIng territory
to produce twenty Umes over the
requIrements of Grent Britain.
As wheat cnn bo grown nt $7.60 per
ncro with. wages to the men doing
I their own worle besilles. nnd ns year'
In and ) 'ear out the yield and prlco
are twenty bushels nt GO conts. the
profits nro $4.liO per ncro.
As IIvo stacIe d ubJICs every three

w111 nlwa's be one of th leading feat.
ures of the agricultural Industry. As .

donces of advancoment. The first
I bushel of wheat was shipped In 1882 ,
. In fact the first shipment from 1\Ianl.
toba , merely as a sample , was made
In 1871. In 1904 there were under all
\ crops , excepting hay , lli75.000 acres
In the western provinces , producing
17,250,360 bushels of wheat , 18,250G40
T bushels of oats , and 2,360,420 bushels
I
of barle ) ' , reallzlng a total of nbout
$18,600,000 for the farmers.
In Manitoba there were grown In
1904 4 ] , GOOOOO bushels of wheat and
I , other fnrm products In proportion.
The first mile of railway was built In
the country in IS80 , and to-day there
are over GOOO miles of road In opera.
tlon , and further extensions are going
. ahead as fast as men and money can
. build them. Th re are two trunk
llnos In the country , the C. P. R. and
tl .e Canadian Northern , with the
. W Grand Trunk commencing Its trans-
" conthlental line. In addition to these
, trUIik lines , all systems are extending
branches to all sections where there
are settlements to patronize them.
The grain elevator development Is
another assurance of the wonderful
expansion of the country , the one-
tourth of the whole area , or about 95"
000,000 ncres of the country traversed
by rallwa's being' now fairly supplied
by elevators. In all t.here are 1,015
of them In the country with a combln.
ed capacity of 27G83,000 bushels and
erected nt II. cost of over $55,000,000.
, " I In add1tlon to these , elevators at the
. " ' head : of the lales have storage capac-
ti ity of 18,200,000. Fourteen years ago
the entire storage C'apaclty of the
elevators was 7G28OOO b shels , to-day
It Is 41.GOO,000 and increasing yearly
from five to ten mlllon : bushels.
What the settlement of the country
wlll bo In the next ten years may
well bo Imagined from the fact that
last year the Immigration was over
133,000 souls. .
There are those who bellevo the
grain-producing area at the cpuntry .
'must bo limited , but results. tell a
I maldng winter feed ns Inexpenslvo as
I summer pasturage. . .
As $2,836,61G worth of live stock
was marlwted In that country In six
months of last year an Iden may be
formed of the proportions It may be
led to attain when the country becomes -
comes fully settled up.
Dalr'lng Is the third leading busl.
ness of the Northwest farmer , and
may , 111m the others bo developed
whlle the farmer Is sleeping. It Is
.found that on account of the cost of
farm help , and to avert the expense of
erecting sultablo bulldlngs for the
purpose , the coolJerative system Is
decidedly the best. Under It the en.
tlra management Is in the hands of
the government under expert opera'
tlves. though control of sales , etc. ,
rests with the patronE. The farmers
slmlJly deliver their mille 0 : " . cream ,
usually the latter , at the dairies , receive - i
ceivo monthly advances , and bal.
ances of proceeds of sales at the close
of the year.
The schools 11.1'0 free and non-denomI-
national-national. There Is no tax for
attendance , the government defrays
the grJater part of the cost of sup.
port of a highly certificated staff of
teachers. There are schools In all
country districts where there are a
dozen pupils to attend them and the
tax Is rarely more than $4 a ) 'ear on
every quarter section. As each provo
Ince-Alberta and Saskatchewan-un.
der the. new provincial autonomy will
receive at the start from the Federal
government $1,100,000 a ) 'ear , there
w1ll be but very Inconslderablo tnxa-
tl6n for any and all provincial pur.
pbses.
Fuel Is the bugbear of many of the
prairie countries. In Western Canada ,
however , there are but few districts
without an ample supply of timber ,
and as coal of the best quality Is
everywhere present no farmer being
more than 200 miles dlstnnt from II.
mine , and the price never more tban
$4,60 per ton to him at nls door. It Is
