CALLED THE GARDEN OF EDEN By a former Resident of Reed City Michigan In a letter to the Reed City Michi gan Clarion Mr Jas G Armstrong of Meltford Saskatchewan says writ ing on 27th May 1901 This is a fine country for a poor man as he can go out on the hay slews and cut all the hay he needs He turns his cattle out on the prairie and when he is not using his horses he turns them out also There is such an abundance of food they never wan der away A lady who has lived here eight years told me that this was the origi nal Garden of Eden I certainly would believe it if we could only find the apple trees But as it is we have many varieties of fruit strawberries cranberries saskatoons huckleberries red and black currants dewberries plums red and black cherries and red raspberries All of these fruits grow wild Then the flowers that dot the prairies making them look like a real garden We have eaten of the wild red currants and they are equal if not superior to those grown in Michigan We have sweet corn IVz inches high As the Western farmers are all done seeding branding cattle and sheep shearing are now progress ing Wool is only five cents a pound and many ranchers have on hand last years clip I enclose you a potato blossom slice of new potato which measured 6 inches when cut This is no fairy tale as we are so much farther than Reed City It is all facts Come up and see This has been

very active but about steady with yes terdays close The last half of the mar ket yesterday was not as good as the first part and packers bought their supplies today about tho way they did lato yester day The choicer grades have not de clined much the last two days but me dium kinds and catmcrs are weak to 5 10c lower There was very little change noticeablo in the prices paid for bulls calves and stags but it was evident that packers did not care for the commoner kinds and as a result they moved very slowly Stockcrs and feeders were in light supply but at the same time thero were fully as many of the common kinds as were wanted Hogs There were not quite as many hogs on sale as yesterday but still re ceipts wero fairly liberal The market was rather slow in opening as buyers and sellers could
