acre, =oh of it is excellent, was
burned over 2_0 years ago, and was. all
sewn with timothy and ()lover, and
to -day among the undergrowth the
clover is red and the 'timothy headed
out for miles. The _clover does not
draw with the frost here and after 20
years is as vigorous as ever. These 80
sore lots are sold at one quarter down
and the remainder in 6 years with
iterest at 6 per cent. Many a man
-with a small capital could make a home

eaellent, high price for produce and the
• location very desirable. Our party
have travelled through parts of Lefroy,

The roads made by the Government arest-olass. We saw many bluffs of rock,
-and some parts covered with milli]
stone, but the rule is that the stone i
in bluffs or hills and the remainder of
;the land as free a stone as the average
-of Huron. The crops are suffering for
-want of rain, all spring wheat, the fields
mean will average 8 to 12, bushels an
:acre, farther north it is better. A gen-
tleman from St. Helens assured the he
saw fields 20 miles north which will
average 15 to 20 bushels per acre.
Hay is a light crop, oats look
well. All grains and roots later
than Huron. Much of the land is
a heavy clay and looks like a geed wheat
land if it was properly worked up, the-,
remainder a yellow loam with clay bot-
tom. There are tens of thousands of
acres in the older parts of Ontario not
as good as average lands here which are.
tielling at $50 to $60 an acre. Farms can
be bought 6 to 10 miles from the shore
'with 40 to 50 acres cleared with fair
improvements, at $5 to $7 per acre.
- Wild lands can be got well situated at
3 to 4 dollars an acre. I was offered a
section, 640 acres, 40 cleared, frame
barn, 500 acres level enough for a reap-
er, for $2,500. Another 160 acres, 40
cleared, fair buildings, timbered with
hard wood, on a good road, a few
rolling stones, for $1,000. These are
both good lands. Land can be got 30
miles north at 20 cents an acre on con-
dition of settlement. The colonization
roads extend 25 miles of the distance.
The evidence goes to show that the
land improves as you go north, that at
.50 miles the hush is open with very
little underbrush and the land of fine
quality. There are no Canadian this-
tles, a few seen once, in a whole days
drive, no burdocks, no dockens or weeds
of any kind. The absence of thistles
•was a pleasing feature in the eyes of a
Huron farmer. A number of school
houses were seen, and a very interest-
ing school examination was attended by
the writer, in which the proficiency of
the pupils reflected credit on both
teacher and, taught. There are several
teachers wanted, salaries good, higher
than in Huron, owing to temporary
scarcity ; there are six wanted now for
the Sault St. Marie schools, to begin
August 18th e D. Biggings, Secretery.
The country is healthyem fever as in the
far west; one doctor is fifty miles dis-
tant. From a close examination of the
subject, 1 conclude that this country
as a field. for emigration, is not yetrin-
derstood. The man with $10,000 may
get into a way of doing more quickly,
by setting his drills and reaper a at work
on the prairies of the west, but the emi-
grant with $500 to $4,000 should con -
eider the isolation Of the prairie, the
absence of tiraber, the severity of the
climate, and the fact that he may have
to sell his oats at ten cents a bushel and
his wheat at forty cents a bushel. Here
we have a climate like our own, plenty
of timber, schools and nchurcbes, owing
to the close settlement, more accessible,
and 1,000 to 1,500 miles nearer markt.
The prairie farmer must place his prtu-
cipal dependence on raising grain, while
here, a system of mixed husbandry can
be pursued as profitably as in Hardin
There is no doubt, also, that a railway
will be built to connect the Canada Pa-
cific with the Sault, which must pass
through this section, and which
would place it in as good a position as
the county of Huron. The Canada Pa-
cific railway have not good managers to
conduct their business. They have
-spent an immense sum on the line to
Algonaa mills, now useless. They laid
the foundation of a hotel there, 235 feet
Equare, at a cost of $10,000, which re-
mains as a memento of the want of
foresight of the men who conduct their
business. But the road will be made,
and lands that now sell at $4 and 85
-will bring in a few years $20 to $40.
Having visited Muskoka the past yeer,I
consider Algoma every way to be prefer -
ed. Large tracts of fertile soil, withoet
stone, and a capability to grow wheat,
which, owing to the absence of lime in
the soil, is a failure in many parts of
Muskoka, are powerful arguments in
favor of the former locality. The islands
in Lake Huron are also very eligible
locations. The frost of last fall which
injured the crops of this part and Mani-
toba so severely., was hardly felt on St.
Joseph's Island, and the only good
wheat in this section last year came
from there. It is 26 miles long by 11
miles wide, and ie more than two-thirds
fit for cultivation. It was taken up on
thefree grant systera,requiring five years
occupation to get a deed; most of it has
been taken up three and four years, and
claims can be bought from young men
and others, who have been holding at
from '$75 to 8150 for 100 acres, accord-
ing to improvement and position. Popu-
lation of St. Joseph about 2,000.
There is no doubt, whatever the future
of the mainland may be, that those
islands will be found suited to frait-
growing, and I believe that the time
will Come when the great northwest'
will be supplied with apples grown on
the Manitoulin and St. Joseph islands.
In conclusion, the probabilities are that:,
the north shore will become the cradle,'
of a hardy, active race, who will be to:
Canada what Scotland has been to,
Britain, and New England to the United;
States. Being in a most healthy loca-
tion, accustomed to labor, despising dif-,
fieulties, they will be noted for their en-
ergy, enterprise and perseverence. We
thoroughly enjoyed our trip, we got a
shake of the hand from my old friends,
and made some new ones. Oar head-
quarters were at the Bruce Mines, the
people are kind and courteous, and the
traveller, for busitieSs or pleasure, will
find himself at home with our kind host
and hostess of the Algoma House.
