The schools art: nonsi ctarian and national in character. In con nectiuu with education experiiiieiital farms have been established in Manitoba and the territories, where all the different kinds of grain, seed, roots, vegetables, gras.-es. fruits, treea and Shrubs that it is sought to grow in the countrt ar. sow n on the varied soils Of the farm gad the re-ults published in the new s papers for the information and guidance of the farming communitiea. in addition, traveling schools of dairy instructors are sent around. These give lecture-, accompanied by practical operations in all the arts of raising cattle, butter and cheese making, etc., that the b st methods known may be-taught the j-ett!ers without the 1 ss. of time and money that would be required were they left to their out resources in such baiportant matters. Again, farmers' in stitutes are held ut regular intervals at important oiiit. Those present make known their most successful methods of farming arid interchange experiences. The climate is one of the best to be found ant where. It was said at one time that the cold weather prev nted successful farming', but these allega
tions have be.-n completely falsified by
the ex rieiiees of those tt ho hate luetl there for t t ars ami by the success tbat farming has met with. On the point of climate it may be said that the town of Kdtnuntou. in latitude 53 degrees 29 minute north. gSOCh farther north than the city of Winnipeg, is 4M milea farther smith than St. Petersburg, the capital of Russia, farther south than any part of either Scotland. Ib-nmark. Norway or Sweden, and as far south an Lmbltn, Ireland, Ueotranal in Kngland, or Hamburg in Gernanny, sad yet these citi. s arc not considered as being by any means in the frozen regions of the r.'Tth. In fact the climate of Western Canada is deacrtbed by those who have
lived there for years :i. , rv agreeable SSaf preferred to that of the east. Waease i-. little known, epidemics are unheard of. Spring commence early in April. Sometimes the snow entirely
i disappears carlt in that month. Spring is soon followed by summer. Daylight at this latitude is two hours longer j than anywhere below the boundary line, flic result to a better quality of
wheat, owing to the nlmo-t perpetual sunshine, than any place south. Autumn is a delightful s, :iv.in. It extenda int. the month f Ihrgasshar. the raoar not falling until late in December, thus giving the farmer the opportunity to finish bis threshing, complete the marketing of hi thm, sands of bushels of Wheat, and leaving plenty of time to put his hm! g condition for the crops of the following year. The district of Alberto, immediately east of British t'.dumbia and reaching IBS boundary lines tin C.e south, has a
total length of 4 : miles from south to north, and -.'a" miies from east to west. It contains an area of 106.000 square miles. The district is generally spoken of as "Northern Alberta" and' "Southern Alberta" because of the different character of the two jiortions. Southern Alberta is preeminently a ranching ami dairying country aud offers opportune. in that direction that are iinequalctl. It is composed of high nana plains broken by the Valley of numerous riters. These valley and the liencli lands produce most luxuriantly a most nutritious growth of native gras-, .-. m tt I h the i tittle feed ny to their loins. ProttS are large, steers selling on the ran. lies for and f 5. which had enei th.ir own.-r only the interest on the price of the land, on the original Investment in stinking the -. and in ids share of the annual
rouml-up. Northern Alberta comprises that great fertile tall.y stretching alx.ut 40 miles north of alga ry on for MO miles or more. It is well -M,.,- , Well aa well watered. or Bfl OSShS- if BS haa no timlx-r Ml his land, the settler can
get a government permit tocut ns much timber as he may require to put up his
bu. Idings. supply of firewood ami fence rails. In addition to the agricultural and ranching oihilitics of this distrnt nature has been prodigal in her deposits of coal and other minerals. In mineral produ. 'tiea 'anad.i bids fair to l-eat the world. The entire region west of AlhOfta to - he coast and north o' the l-oiindnry line to the arctic circle a p t ars to le one vast deposit of mineral gold, silver, copper, iron, lead. coal. et-. Rritish Columbia ia making a n-cord in the production of gold and silver that any country might he proud of. In short, in m other country in the wcrrld are the same chances ojen to the poor man. the man of mouerste meana or the capitalist, as present themselves on the Young Domin ion of Canada
