as I can estimate, the immi :ration of
the year has amounted to about cne

Thus far, but one party of i migrants,
besides the surveyors, have 1.i -wed by
the Dawson Route, and could these but
get the hearing of Ontario, w relat-
ing their experience on the t I am
bound to saythat they Would. have but
few followers. In a few words, .thd
. Dawson Road is ie dead awn dle. The
,hardships and endurances of the road, as
related by both of the above parties, are
sufficient to warrant the appelation of
monsters bsing applied to botld-Mr. Dew-.
son and the members of the_ Do.minion
Government. The boats • and other
facilities were not at all adequate to the
purpose, while the immigrants, - them-
selves; had to do nearly -all the work, in
the way of rowing., ;portaging, &e.i; and
the most of them, including women and
children had to walk the greater part of -I
the land:alistances. _
At the time of -my last writing, the
crops were covering the brow of .the
• earth in green luxuriance; now the
greater part of them are ripe, itrid- being
speedily harvested. The yiel of this
year will come fully up to the averages
which I then gave of the vario s cereala
raised in the County. I hay had ex-
cellent opportunities of determi in froth
observation the actual capal ilities. of
Manitoba from an agrictiltural stand
point. My conclusion is that the most
sanguine expectations that have ever beets
I entertained in this way, may be full
realized. There is one matter, however
upon which I am quite cthtain—th

iand new breeds of stock, are pre -re
quisities to the pursuit of. husbandry in
Manitciba witn anything like an approach
to the. most profitable results. All Cal
nadiane are alive to this fact, and I think
'au arrangement will be made for the
. .
Importation of such seeds forthwith. In
the matter of stock, numerons small
herds of cattle have been brought in this
season, and one gentlemen left on the
boat "Selkirk" en route for Ontario, for
a flock of good breeding -sheep. I am
diaposed to believe that wool raising ea
be made the moss profitable business o
the country._ At present there is on
. drawback, -however, to sheep -raising,
that is, the numberless voracious Indian
dogs; but that can be ameliorated -be --
proper legislation withrt difliculty.
The past season has been one of ex-
tremes. From the middle of June till
the first of August -the weather was hot
and dry, which had a somewhat de-
leterious effect upon the craps, (but they
are good notwithstanding.) The last
two weeks it has been unusually wet.
This has, to . a certain extent, retarded
harvesting operations; but the ill effects
have not been anything nearly so great
as they would have been in Ontario un.
•der similar circumstances. t There is a
peculiarity in this connection in that
while the rain storms are almost the
heaviest conceivable, and Manitoba mud
is the nearest approximation to, perfec-
tion in the mud line of anything it has
ever been my misfortune to experience, s
yet there is buta few hours time hetween
socks 41 Berlin Slippers. I attribute
this :pecdliarity to wo ()raises: In the first
place, the great depth, three to six feet, of
vegetable mould, or porous' soil, absorbs
in inordinate amount of water in a given
time, aid the:proverbial deyisess of the
atmosphere of the north-west, absorbs
moistur4 much more rapidly than that
of a, 'no* humid clime.:
The Miserable manner hi which agri-
culture has*beeii pursued -in this country,
is manifest no more strikingly than in
the matter of hay. It has been the
practice to travel miles and miles to se-
cure a siipply of prairie: grass. Contrary
to the generally accepted notion in the
-east, grass does not growl luxuriantly
enough1 everywhere on the prairie for
hay, but only attains sUch 4 stage in the
low lands and marshy places. 'Hence it
is that tee question of hay priVileges has
ever be4i, and still is a very vexations
one, - inVolvieg disputes and troubles
without lends And what iS got after ail
the row `I Usually about two tons of hay
to the Sere, though fregnently not as
much ! 1 In the face of all this, it has
been practically demonstrated that the
cultivated grasses may be raised in Mani-
toba with as satisfactory reaults as graie.
I have - Seen two different patches of
timothy ,an4 clover, either of_ which was
equal to any that ever came under my
notice in Ontario. From ain economical
point of view, if no other, it is the ex-
pressed qpinion of all practieal Canadians
with whoxn I have Conversed on theaub-
ject. that the cultivated meadow is im-
mensly Preferable to the prairie: wild,
and thatlit will speedily crowd the latter
into distrse.
For the present I will conelude by say-
ing that lny-faith in the super -excellence
of Manitaba as an aglicultural country

SIR,—if therenver was a class of men
that ottght to -feel grateful for the care
taken of thein -by City and Tenni Corpo-
rations, et is the farmers of a,nada, and
more eePeeially those of uron. The
Town ' of Goderich a Ion i. time ago
built a shed at 6 cost of: sonle $300; the
Corporatien of Seaforth, three years agp,
built a 'Muse - at a cost of i $1,400, mid
the coeporation of .Clinton is at present
bnilding a brick palace itt a cost of
nearly as, many thousands. and all for
the especial benefit of the farmers. al-
though unsolicited by them. But it is
Also true. that the two fortner corpora-
tions charge the farmers the trifling sum
of ten dents each for lookiug at these
buildings, if they oiler prochice for sale,
which, in the aggregate amounts to
$1,000 to, $1,400 a year; *Inch these
corporations apply to their taxation.
. And, new, the City of Innidon is try-
ing to take ns under its protection, in
order to prevent us from beieg devoured
by that voracious monster,I the Grand
'Junk Railway. Mr. Editor, you are
perfectly well aware that these artful
eitizene - surveyed 7 -through Cur County
two routes, and very sellIfelly played
the one against the other for the purpose
of finding out where the most money was
to be had, in the shape of bout sea.
Well, Sir, I am tuformed that a few of
them, with rings on their fingers, and
gold chains across their breaets, foiled;
their way into Hullett, and played well
before our Township Council the -tune
of Fifteen Thousand Dollars, which our
Council, as in dety bomid, very cour-
teously lance to, and, at their solicita-
tion, passed a by-law requiring the con-
sentof the ratepayers to theit mortgag-
ing the Township for $15,000, to aid the -
building of the London, Huron and
Bruce Railway. :
Now, - in my opinicn, as far as the
Township of Hullett is con erned, we '
have no more use for that Re lroad than
a cart has for a third whee . But we
are told that we will get mote for our
produce because it will ermete with
the Grand Trunk. , Butwals not the
Buff* and Lake Huron Railway, to a
certain -extent, a competing line with
the Grand Trunk, and Where is it now?'
Why, amalgamated. .And have we not
enough salt wells to make clompetion ?
But, a few weeks tyro, I went to -several
stores and: they all. asked. me $1 •ir a
barrel for salt, while at every well they
were nearly blocked up with salt, for
want of . purchasers, and .in this week's
Globe, Hu -'on Salt is quoted alt$1 45 to
$.1 50 per barrel, so 'much °t competi-
tion at oar own doors. And i it not a
fact that Mr. Adam Brown, �f Ransil,
ton, lately received $8,000; as /a gift, for
being an expert at 'wheedling farmers out
of TownShip bonases.- I ,shotdd not be
at all suipnsed to hear that the Ifullett
bonus, if granted to the Londr. Huron
and Bruce Railroad, is handed over to
that vender of paterit -medic ties from
London, for his service's in its sehalf.
I was told the Other day. in Chnton, by
Mr. James: Braithwaite, :our Township
Clerk and Treasure); that "a mortgage
of $15,000 for the Township ild Hullett
was: a mere nothing—that the interest
was all we had to pay, the sin -ing fund
being payable to ourselves." lfery nide,
certainly, for the ratepayers df Hallett
to pay over to Mr. Braithwaite, Treas-
urer, to be by him invested, or locked
up in his iron safe, to be ready to pay off
the debentures 63 they become due.
If our present Council wish to become
notorious. for placing the virgin mortga,ge
against our fair township, let it be for
omething the eecessity for which far-
mers -can practically- comprehend, as, for
nstance, the raising Of money to dram
he swampy: lands of. the Township, and
will guarantee that the Township will
eap more benefit from- the same than
rom a dozen London Railroads.
I do not believe that the intelligent far-
mez aof Mullett can be induced to mort-
age the ToWnship to assist in building
that railroad for the purpose of creating
the most violent summer shower, and a i
dryness of the entire outside world, i t
which days only would suffice to 1produce 1
in the eastern provinces. En thje morn- r
ing I have seen the mud in the s reets of f
Winnipeg draw boots from m 's feet,
and in the evening meet swell alesmen
(for there is a heavy supply heke) trip-
ping the saple ground in silk o4 cotton
offices and filling he pocket:, sof arie 0 -
=tic London bankrupts. In conclu-
sion, Mr. Editor, I 'often wonder how
loneafarmeis will allow themselves to 'he
cajoled out of their hard-earned money
by the oily -tongued and flowery sophis-
try of it few bejeweled nonentities.
Yours, &c.,

Now that another thresh ina season has
begun, there will be, douldlees, aeredi
aumber of men trying it who have nie
run a, machine before, and limit
they will be 1.18.111g yffilllg and untreinid
horses. Now, in order to counteract in
6 great measuie the prevadme evil a
tending the commencement of above
work, and prevent a great deal of pan)
and suffe• ing to the horses, we would
suggest the iollowing to farmers and eld
and young threshers, (if we may use the
terms) for we invariably see that the
horses belonging to each are doomed to
undergo the sufferings of sore or galled
shoulders, which by experience we find
may be prevented in the most of eases,
by either lengthening the outer tug or
shortening the inner one so much, that
the outer end of each whiffietree shall
be, say an inch nearer to the arm of the
machine than the inner of each, This
counteraets the circular travelling which
the horse has to perform, thereby mak-
ing it more of a straight draft We see
that where the tugs are ot the same
length, the collar is pressed too heavily
ae.amst the outside of the neck, and not
back far enough on the shoulders, whilst
it is drawn off thc inner side and too far
back on the tip of the shoulder,- thereby
causing the shoulders of the horses tie
cald or gall. Those who use the short
tug and chain, or the long chain tug, can
eadily chances ;the lengths of the tug,
ut it world be a good deal of trbuble for
hose who use the long leather tug, to
ave- to change them every time they
ifted their machine. To them we would
uggest that they get a couple of -hooks
he right length for each team, like the
'alifornian Cock -eye Hook. used mostly
n whiffle -trees now, so that the hook
an be hooked into the eye. of the tug,
nal the eye hooked on the hook of the
vhiffietree. It can be carried on the
vhiffietree hook, or some other handy
dace.
