ONE OF
"Where Once the Buffalo Roamed" Is Now
Formed Into Provinces
Not long since a great American
writer, la an article on the "Wheat
supply of Europe and America," made
the statement that to the north of the
International boundary line there was
only a narrow fringe of land capable
of producing wheat Another writer,
replying to this, said that wheat could
be successfully grown at Fort Simp
son, a Hudson Bay Company's post at
the junction of the Liard and Macken
zie rivers. Fort Simpson is at lati
tude 62 degrees north, and is as far
northwest of Winnipeg as that city is
northwest of New York city. It is
possible not only to raise wheat at
Fort Simpson, and of a better quality
than is grown in any other country,
but at a point miles further north rye
and oats are grown, whilst two hun
dred miles still further north barley
and p'otatoes are successfully pro
duced. Nor Is this very extraordinary,
as will appear further on in this ar
ticle. The attention that is being directed

towards Western Canada at the present
time and the large number who are
going there for the purpose of making
It their home, has been the cause of
an interview with Mr. James A. Smart,
the deputy minister of the Interior
for Canada. He is a gentleman thor
oughly posted. and ready at all times
to Impart information concerning
Canada's resources. Mr. F. Pedley, also
of Ottawa, Canada, Is the superintend
ent of the Immigration branch, which
Is almost a department by itself. The
result of the interview with Mr. Smart
Is practically embodied In the accom
panying article.

The distance through Canada from the
Atlantic to the Pacific Is 3.000 miles.
Its area, all told. Is 3,456383 square
miles. Of this It Is safe to say. there
Is less waste land than in any other
country In. the world. It is not our
purpose to say much if anything about
the older provinces of Canada, as they
are mostly fairly well settled. Western
Canada comprises the province of
Manitoba, 74,000 square miles; Brit
ish Columbia, 380,000 square miles;
A8siniboia, 90,000 square miles; Sas
katchewan, 106,000 square miles; Al
berta, 106,000 square miles; Athabaska,
104.000 square miles, to say nothing of
Keewatin with about 300.000 square
miles, and the unorganized territories
of the northwest with over 900,000
square miles. As a grand total the
areaof Canada in square miles Is 3,
456,383. Asslniboia, Saskatchewan,
Alberta and Athabaska alone consti
tute a region larger than all Russia in
Europe. Time was when it was to
the interest of the great fur dealing
companies of he continent to send the
Impression abroad that this vast re
gion was fit only for the habitation of
the beaver, the buffalo and the bear,
but it has been demonstrated and is
now generally understood that these
vast plains contain the finest .wheat

applies not only to the comparatively
well-known province of Manitoba and
the districts of Asslniboia and Alberta,

of this vast territory lies British Co
lumbia with Its Innumerable rivers,
rich In fieh, its gold,-silver and copper
mines and its fertile valleys capable
of producing the choicest fruits in
great abundance. It is to that portion
of western Canada lying between
Lake Superior on the east and the
Rocky mountains on the west that
the attention of the agriculturists
throughout the world is being directed
at present and it is to that district
they are looking for homes for them

To properly appreciate tke eeetr
mous extent of this territory, foer
hundred miles north and south and
nine hundred miles east and west and
embracing a narea of 360,000 square
miles, let us state that if we draw a
line from the northern boundary of
Pennsylvania to the southern line of
West Virginia, passing tkroagk Har
per's Ferry, and take all the west of
that line to the Missouri river, em
bracing, as well as parts of the states
named, all of West Virginia, Ohio, In
diana, Kentucky, Illinois. Missouri and
Iowa, we shall have American territory
equal in extent and area, but In no
wise superior, to the portion of west
ern Canada under consideration. In
short there are in Canada two hundred
and seventy nine thousand square miles
of 'land for the plow not surpassed In
fertility by any area of similar else on
the face of the globe, and It Is nearly
all embraced within the limits herein
described as western Canada.
A few words as to the climate of this
great country may not be oat of place
right here. The' climate of western
Canada, as described by those who
have lived there for some years, is very
agreeable, and much preferable to that
of the east Disease Is little known;
epidemics unheard of. Winter extends
full three months, usually. There is
little change during winter. Frosts are
keen, but, the air being dry, a tempera
ture of 20 degrees below zero there Is
more bearable than 10 degrees above
in the damp and changeable climates
of the east Spring sets In about the
first of April. Some seasons, however,
seeding Is begun early la March, the
snow having entirely disappeared.
Spring Is quickly followed by summer,
whose long days and cool nights have
a very beneficent influence upon vege
tation. The growth is more rapid than
anywhere known In lower latitudes.
The soft maple has beea known to
grow more than five feet high In a
single season. Autumn Is delightful.
It extends into the middle of Novem
ber. Snow sometimes does not fall un
til late In December. This gives the
farmer the opportunity of finishing
his threshing, marketing his thousands
of bushels of No. 1 hard wheat, and yet
leaving him sufficient time to pat his
land In crop for the following year.
The wheat of western Canada Is known
to be extremely hard. The yield is al
so from 30 to 60 per cent more than'
In the states south of the boundary
line. There are natural causes for
this. The further you travel towards
the northern limits of Its growth the
better the quality of the soil. The rea
son that It is better Is because the sub
soil, throughout the heat of the sum
mer, is kept moist at all times by the
slow melting of the deep winter frosts,
the moisture thus maintained ascend
ing to the surface and nourishing the
roots of the grain. This stimulates
the growth, keeps the plant always
fresh and produces a bountiful crop.
Again, just when needed, when the
heads are ripening, sunshine Is longer.
Heat and sunlight are both needed to
bring wheat to maturity. The great
er the amount of both the better the
result. From the 15th of June to the
1st of July there are nearly two
hours more daylight In every twenty
four in western Canada than In the
suite of Ohio.
A great deal can be said as to the
agricultural possibilities of this vast
region. Lord Selkirk- at one time,
prophesied that these plalna and val
leys would one day 'maintain a popu
lation of thirty million souls. And
why should they not? ManltoW alone
last year had nearly two million acres
under crop wheat, oats, barley, fax.
and other grains and potatoes aad
other roots. Between sixteen aad sev
enteen huebels of wheat were market
ed. Ninety-five per cent of the'sralrio
Is good wheat land.

years the average has beea over thirty
haehels. -Once or twice It went ae low
as eighteen beahela. Atevea the low
est average, with good prices there
are few Industries that will give bet
ter proits. A late United States con
seL la oae of his reports of harvest
time, states that the entire labor of
tke region was foand to he totally in
adequate for the task before It The
wheat straw was so tall and stoat and
so heavily laden with grain that the
work of reaping and sacking was ex
tremely .exhausting. The strength of
the growing grain frequently broke the
reaping machines, and the utmost ex
ertion of strong men was required to
handle the great weight of the sheaves.
But while wheat Is king In that re
gion it is by no means the only cereal
grown. The oat, barley and pea crops
are phenomenal. Oats yield all the
way from 60 to 90 bushels per acre.
In some cases they have been known to
exceed over one hundred. A delegate
who visited the coantry reports, "One
hundred bushels of oats, and sixty
bushels of barley per acre were com
mon crops. In one case the oats stood
feet six Inches high, the heads were
five feet, six Inches long, and each chaff
twelve Inches long, and each chaff
case contained, not one but three per
fect kernels."
Barley, as stated, yields enormous
ly. It Is sought after by brewers ev
erywhere and It brings several cents
per bushel more than that grown la
other countries. Peas yield splendidly.
They are extremely free from bugs
and grubs. Used in fattening hogs and
for other feed, they are superior in ev
ery way to corn. The absence of hog
cholera in this country is attributed
by experts to the excellent feed, corn
not being used. Corn can, however, be
grown, but wheat pays so much bet

region has no competitor. Ripe toma

July. Displays of roots, vegetables,
garden products are made at the agri
cultural fairs that for size and quality
cannot be equaled at any of the fairs

Watermelons have been known -to
weigh as much as seventy-five pounds,
citrons twenty-five pounds.
Experimental tests of different va
rieties of grains and roots have been
made for the purpose of gaining Infor
mation as to their productiveness and
-usefulness. The results of these tests
for three consecutive years are given
below:
In oats, of twelve varieties tested, the
average yield at the Manitoba Experi
mental farm was 75 bu., 20 lbs., per
acre; at the Northwest Territory's
farm the average was 85 bu., 23 lb,
per acre.
In two-rowed barley, of six varie
ties, the average yield at the Manitoba
farm was 42 bu., 31 lbs., per acre; at
the northwest Territory's farm 56 feu
26 lbs. per acre.
In six -rowed barley, six varieties,
the average Manitoba farm yield was
51 bu,, 1 lb. per acre; at the North
west Territory's farm 60 bu., 6 lbs., per
acre.
In spring wheat twelve varieties, the
average yield at the Manitoba farm
was 35 bu., 28 lbs., per acre; at the
Northwest Territory's farm 41 bu.,
41 lbs., per acre.
In potatoes, twelve varieties, the av
erage at the Manitoba farm was 343
bu., 50 lbs., per acre; at the North
west Territory's farm 300 bu., 15 lbs..
per acre.
Wild fruits, strawberries, raspber
ries, currants, gooseberries, grapes,
plums, cherries, and cranberries grow
in great abundance.
Dairying in all parts of western Can
ada is a specially Important industry,
and has made great strides during re
cent years. The butter which has
found Its way to the east and the
English markets was found to be of
excellent quality and in some cases su
perior to its competitors.
Mixed farming pays well through
out the region. Horses and cattls
thrive well on the prairies. Almost all
classes of .high bred cattle are to be
seen. Beef export Is very large, but It
Is now expected that the mining dis
trict of British Columbia and the
Yukon will create a splendid home
market The quality of the beef Is the
richest, and the cost of production Is
reduced to a minimum the profits are
very large. Frequently an animal will
bring from $30 to 350, which did not
cost the farmer or rancher more than
a few dollars. This is most especially
the case In the great ranching district
of Alberta, where the herds roam the
ranges throughout the year.

The educational facilities of tke
coantry are equal to any oa the coa
tinent Rural schools are about three
miles apart In the settled districts, aad
they are free. The government makes
aa annual grant to each school. This
covers all expenses. Including tke sala
ries of the teachers, who are properly
certificated. One eighteenth part of
the whole of the "Fertile Belt" from
Pembina to the Saskatchewan and be
yond Is set apart for the maintenance
of schools. This is a most generous en
dowment In 1871 the school popula
tion of Manitoba was 817. It Is now
over 50.000. In 1883 the average at
tendance was 5.000; it has now increas
ed to about 24.000. In 1883 there were
246 teachers; now there are over 1.100.
These schools are well Inspected at In
tervals by competent educationalists.
The average salary of the rural teach
ers Is $368 per year. The schools are
non-sectarian and In no character na
tional. In connection with educational gov
ernment, experimental farms have
been established In Manitoba and the
territories. All the different kinds of
grain, seeds, roots, vegetables, etc.,
that It Is sought to grow In the prov
ince, are sown on the varied soils
that are found on these farms. The
results are carefully noted and pub
lished for the Information and guid
ance of the farming community In the
different newspapers of the country.
The government also sends around to
the towns and villages a traveling
school of dairy Instructors who give
lectures, accompanied by practical ojh
eratlons by competent men. In all the
arts of cattle raising, butter and cheese
making, etc, that all "may learn the
best methods known without the toss
of time and money to the settlers.
Farmers' institutes have also been es
tablished. These, affording practical
farmers the opportunity of interchang
ing experiences, are of great assistance
to the agricultural community.
Railways now traverse all the set
tled parts of western Canada. Very
few farmers are more than a dozen
miles from a market or railway. Rail
way stations, with post offices, and ele
vators for the storage of grain occur
at Intervals of about seven or eight
miles.
The only remaining territory on this
continent In which ranching on a large
scale can be gone Into Is to be found
In western Canada. The District of
Alberta, Immediately east of British
Columbia, is pre-eminently fitted for
ranching. Its area is 400,000 square
miles, and it extends from north to
south 430 miles, and from east to west
250 miles. The opportunities offered
here in this respect are unparalleled
by any other country In the world. The

tered. The valley and beach lands pro
duce a most luxurious and nutritious
growth of native grass. Cattle, horses
and sheep graze outside the whole year.
The snowfall Is light, and it Is melted
almost as it falls by the warm Chinook
winds which blow from the Pacific
ocean. Profits are large. Steers cost
ing the owners but a few dollars each
bring from 135 to 345 on the ranges.
Heretofore the cattle have been ex
ported, but with the opening of the
British Columbia Yukon mining re
gions, there is a large and constantly
growing market right at home.
The northern part of Alebrta, in ad
dition to being a ranching country, has
large deposits of minerals. It is also
heavily wooded as well as well watered.
In all Canada laws are enforced with
the strictest impartiality. There is no
such a thing known in Canada as mob
law and lynching, not even in its most
remote districts. The peace lover and
the law breaker both know that the
laws of the land will be enforced, and
they govern themselves accordingly.
It is not alone In agriculture or
stock raising that Canada offers un
equaled opportunities to the 'young or
middle aged man. Its fisheries are
the richest in the world. Its number
less rivers and lakes, as well as Its sea
line, teem with fish of all kinds. Brit

worldover.
British Columbia has enormous for
ets of timber. This province is one of
the finest fruit growing regions in the
world, while in its valleys there are
large areas of agricultural lands open
for settlement
In mining Canada premises to equal,
if not eclipse,any other country. Brit
ish Columbia mines have made for the
province a reputation that any country
might be proud of. In fact, the entire
region from the boundary line north to
the arctic circle, and from the eastern
slope of the Rocky mountains to the
Pacific ocean, appears to be an Inex
haustible 'deposit of minerals of all
kinds. The Klondike region, almost
wholly in western Canada, is known
throughout the whole civilized world
today. Three years ago it was quite
unknown. The output this year Is ex
pected to reach the magnificent sum of
twenty million dollars in gold. Com
petent authorities believe that the out
put will be doubled each recurring
year, for years to come.
There is no other country offering
the great opportunities for either the
poor man, the moderately rich man, or
the capitalist as western Canada af
fords. Millions of acres are ready for
the plow. Some of It free, and the rest
of it at a very low price per acre.

Faat, safe, superbly equipped and
most carefully governed, one need act
wonder at the great popularity of the
New York Central. No other line af
fords such facilities for through travel
between the East and the West aa this
wonderful four-track system. In the
possession of Grand Central Station,
located In the heart of New York City,
and within trifling distances of all
first-class hotels, this railway offers
greater advantages than competing
lines. Spring, summer, autumn aad
winter, it has attractions Irresistible.
The great Northern Wilderness, the
playground of the State, now beckons
Its thousands. As autumn falls, Amer
ica's scenic masterpiece, far-famed
Niagara, will claim Its annual host of
pilgrims with its majestic power, the
fierce turmoil of the Whirlpool and all
of the picturesque surroundings, the
awesome Cave of the Winds and the
several other minor attractions of the
vicinity. And when winter, comes,
then the entire scene transformed to
what seems a fairyland of marvelous
frost dressings, of ley forts and snowy
palaces; of gleaming, crystal prison
barriers vaialy striving to bind the
roaring, foaming plunge of water will
present a spectacle of weird, mys
terious beauty which Is not duplicated

"I suffered from catarrh for many
years, but since I have been taking Pe-ru-na

advise all people to try Pe-ru-na. As I
used Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lin while I
was passing through the change of
life, I am positively convinced your
beneficial remedies have relieved me
from all my Ills."
Pe-ru-na has raised more women
from beds of sickness snd set them to
work again than any other remedy.
Pelvic catarrh I the bane of woman
kind. Pe-ru-na is the bane of catarrh
In all forms snd stages. Mrs. Col.

It to be especially beneficial to them."

Remember that cholera morbus,
cholera Infantum, summer com
plaint, bilious colic, diarrhoea and
dysentery are each and all catarrh
of the bowols. Catarrh Is the only
correct name for these affections.
Pe-ru-na is an absolute specific for
these ailments, which are so com
mon in summer. Dr. Hartman, In
a practice of orer forty years, neer
lost a single case of cholera infan
tum, dysentary, diarrhoea, or chol

was Pe-ru-na. Those desiring fur

I cannot express my jrratitudo to

forme. I have taken five bottles of
the Compound and two boxes of Liver
Pills and feel better in every respect.
I had suffered for years with dropsy;
the veins in my limbs burst, caused
from the pressure of the water. I had
the worst kind of kidney trouble, faint
ing spells, and I could not stand long"
at a time.' I also had female weakness
and the doctor said there was a tumor
in my left side. The pains I had to
stand were something1 dreadful. A
friend handed me a little book of yours,
so I got your medicine and it has saved
my life. I felt better from the first
bottle. The bloating- and the tumors
have nil gone and I do not suffer any
pain. I am still using tiro Vegetable
Compound and hope others may find
relief aa I have done from its use."
