WITH THE NOIINTEB POLIO
The Governor-General Will Explore the
Northern Wilds.
A despatch from Ottawa says:
The northern wilds of Canada will
p'•••bably have a distinguished vis-
itor this summer. Earl Grey, who
last year visited the Yukon, is con-
templating a journey overland to
Hudson Bay. If the present plans
ate carried out, the Governor Gen-
eral will leave Ottawa in July for
Winnipeg, and will there be taken
ty a party of the Northwest Monn-
te•ci Police over the route of the
Hudson Bay Railroad to Hud_.on
Bey. This will involve a very stiff
n cve of wilderness travelling,
much of it by canoe. At Port Nel-
scn or Churchill, or Hudson Bay,
whichever is chosen as the land ter-
minus of the journey, the C:over-
uei-General will be met by the Gov-
ernment steamer Earl Greyy, and
in this vessel will journey througlh
Hudson Bay and Hudson Straits,
where commercial craft in a few
year's will be .baking regular voy-
ages with cargoes of wheat and cat-
tle front the Canadian west. The
steamer will then conte south and

NEED OF MIXED FAllllN�
Mr. 'William Whyte's Prescription For the
Prairie Provinces.
A despatch from Toronto says:
Mr. William Whyte, Second Vice -
President of the Canadian Pacific
1(: ilway, prescribes mixed farming
fur the western wheat grower.
"I know of no more indolent life
than that of the wheat -grower,-
saiu Mr. Whyte, iti an interview the
other day. '`After he has gathered
his crop there is absolutely nothing
for hint to do until the following
siring. Because of this we find the
aterage westerner leaving his hold-
ings and wintering at the coast or
in California. 1 think if he could
be induced to take up the feeding
of tattle in the stalls and the rais-
ing of hogs, that it would be a
blessing to hint and to the great
plains country as well."
"Years ago." said Mr. Whyte,,
".outhern Alberta was one vast
grazing country. ('ouptless herds
ranged there. To -day the great
balk of that land has been trans-
formed into wheat lands. Unless
the farmer takes up the work of
feeding cattle in the stalls I do
net knew where the meat supply
of the world is to come from. And
take hogs. At the present markets
price of pork it is quite possible for
a farmer to make his poor grade
wheat, or the damaged variety,
easily worth three dollars a bush-
el Western packers tell me there
is no better tasting or sweeter ba -
c on than that raised on wheat. So
y• u can see to what advantage the
big wheat -grower retold turn his
sot plus crop, provided the did so
without making a regular business
:.f it and so glutting the markets'
"Anyway," he continued, "the
v::esterner is being forced into di-
ve•rsified farming because of the
uifliculty in procuring men to har-
vest his wheat. Look at the great
crop there now. It has all to be
t,atitered in a short time or else. the
wind will break the husks and half
of it will be lost. Last year we

the situation be as the acreage ex-
tends!
"This year the arca sown in

ba, Alberta and Saskatchewan will
