We had ridges and peaks, one peak being over 12 feet high, overhanging and retreating cliffs, ravines, passes open and passes hidden, all with- in a radius of ten rods. It took brain and muscle to engineer and keep open the passages between the dwelling and out- buildings. The morning of Feb. 4th was 260 above zero. This was the highest marking of any morning since winter set in: Owing to the large now fall this winter, we expected when it went away we would have a big flood in our clear, winding Maple, and considerable water in the sloughs and hollows, but we were agreeably disappointed for we had neither. March was a remarkably fine month, neither snow nor rain fell in it, %and our zephyrs appeared to be tired out with their rioting in the three pre- ceding months, for they were very quiet, and although we had frost every night, the daily temperature was high, often from 500 to 550 in the shade, above zero. By the early covering of the ground with snow the frost Ed not penetrate into the ground so deeply as in- former winters, and the snow went away so gradually that the plowed land, frost cracks, and gopher holes, took in most of the water from the Melting snow, and seldom in spring are the sloughs and. hollows so free from water, as they are this spring. Had it not been for the frost at nights, seeding could have commenced, by the 20th of March, as the snow was all gone but where it had - banked. A few began 'Sowing on the afternoons of the 1st and 2nd of April, t a cold wave struck us on the 3rd, stopping sowing until the afternoon of the 6th, when seeding became gene:al. The night between the 7th and 8th vfas the first night free from frost. On the h, a strong gale blew from the soath, and considerable property was destroy- ed by fire on that day by parties Setting fire to the old prairie grass. On! that evening we had our first thunder Storm, and rainfall since last summer. The following week little sowing was done, the weather being broken by rains, but in this part seeding was well advanced by the end of April, and most farmers had finished in the first week in May. So far there has been a fine, steady growth and the early sown grain now covers the ground and the later sown shows well. In wheat the acreage sown will be a little above the acreage of last season, perhaps 5 per bent., bat in oats aud barley , the acreage will be con- siderably largemfrom 12 to 15 per cent. above last year. Grass was so forward. that herds went to pasture in the first week in May. So far, May has been very prolific in heavy gales from the south, and south meat, with extremely high temperature when blowing, 80 to 950 In the shade. One gale, on the 7th, was a severe one, and did considerable damage by uncovering the seed, and pulling up the young plants, neces- sitating in some cases, exposed parts to be sown over again. These spring gales, hen the crops are not so far advanced to epver the ground areVery disagree- able Owing to the immense clouds of direthey raise. At times it is almost impossible for man or beast to stay out in them. The look out at present is ery promising for good crops. More than usual care was taken by the farm- ers in selecting seed grain and in having the Same properly put in the ground. onsiderabie building will be done here this summer and things in general are more lively and_ progressive than they formerly were at this time of the year. Work is plentiful and wages high and no one need be idle who is able and wil- ling to work. Wishing our Seaforth Weekly Visitor, all success, I remain, Respectfully Yours, HIGHLAND. Disallowance in Manitoba. The public meeting called by the Mayor of Winnipeg to discuss the pres- ent railway situation as affecting the Province of Manitoba, and to hear state- ments from the delegates recently sent to Ottawa re disallowance, was held in Wimaipeg on Wednesday night. The hall was literally crammed to the doors and large members were unable to gain admittance, and crowded. around the windows and doors. A more enthu- siastic and intensely interested audi- ence luta never been seen in the city, and the resolutions passed with almost entire unanimity and enthusi- asm. The resolutions in effect were thanking- the delegates for their able efforts at Ottawa, endorsing the action of the Local Government in deciding to build a road to the boundary, a third condemning in unmistakeable terms Sir George Stephen's threat against Win- nipeg, a fourth thanking Messrs. Wat- son, Scarth, and Daly for their assist- ance to the delegation, and the fifth animadverting upon Sir John and other members of his Government for mis- leading the people before the general election as to their intentions re -dis- allowance.
