THE HURON EXPOSITOR 01•1•11I/M•=1.•••==•••• Algoma. -The New Ontario. .k SPLENDID tillAZING AND AGRICULTDRAL DISTRICT. A correspondent sends us the following: I have travelled over a good many States of the American Union, both west, south and northwest, and I have not leen a better cotmtrylor general farming purposes than Algoma. As to it* capabilities for dairying sad Cattle raising I osn truthfully say this, it cannot be beat anywhere. I have been all through noted cattle ranching 00tIntriee, et1C11 as Southern Colorado, Texas, Arizona, Montana, and other States the last three are very noted cattle raising countries, and, filmy opinion, Algoma excels them all, for the following reasons': The abundance of all kinds of grasses and clover, and their rapid growth. The white clover is natural to the foil in Algoma and is alwisys a sure crop. In the countries I mentioned clover does not grow at all. • As to hay and clover being a sure crop here: Last year the season all over the United States and Canada being an excep- tionally dry one, the hay crop was a little light rn some phases in Algoma, that is on the higher lands, but even there it was a great deal heavier than in the States I have mentioned, because there it was a total fail- ure. The hay crop cannot be said to have been a failure here last year, although it was higher than usual on high land, but on low land it was good. The other crops in Algona, both grain and roots'were very fair last year. The roots are a,tsvsys a sure crop in Algoma, never known to fail. Last year was the only year in the memory cif the oldest residents here when the hay crop was at &Might, and even then it was only light on higher ground. The grass crop in Algoma., in my opinion, may be truthfully said always to be a sure crop. This year I expect to have two tone of hay to the acre, and my oat crop 40 bushels to the acre, and my peas 20 bushels to the acre. There is good spring water everywhere in Algoma, living springs and creeks wherever you go. Good water is half the battle in °sale raising. If the reader were living in the States I have mentioned he would know what I Mean. The water over all the prairie and plain States is alkali brackish water, muddy and dirty. If you 'ivant to appreci- ate good water go there and then return to Algoma. As to markets, our markets are far better than any place I know of east, west or south, and I have travelled con- siderably. I came from the States to Algoma about three years ago and I like it very well and I have talked with settlers all over this country and have compared notes with them. As to hog raising, it will pay here very well. You can sell your young pip from five to six weeks old at $5 to $6 a pair right here in my own township, and. we have a good market for pork at Sault Ste, Marie all the year round.; a better market than they have in Toronto. Hogs are easily raised here, live on clover, and a little chop and one thing and another. My brood sow and. pigs run out all summer in the pasture. 1 sold 18 young pigs this spring at $5 a pair and it paid me very well. I raised them from two sown. I am going to keep at that husinees. Poultry pays well here, eggs running from 16 to 35 cents a dozen. They are 16 (lents now (July 23) and in winter up to 35 cents. And as to eheep; the fact of the white clover being here and the excellent water settles that. I live in West Korah. There is no free grant or 20 cents an acre land left in that township, but there is a township north of me called Pennefether, con- taining excellent land open for settle- ment. By going there farmers would only be from 10 to16 miles from Sault Ste.Marie, to which place there is a good Government road. sister, the late Mrs. base Gray, and located near Perth. In 1844 she was united in mar- riage to her now bereft partner and they settled in Mornington township, Perth county, where they lived for seven years, moving from there to the 12th concession of Grey in 1854. where they took up the farm upon which they have continued to re- side up to the present.

Indian corn has been firmly held at 6d to 9d rise. Beans and peas have been in fair demand. Oats have been 3d dearer. Review of the Cattle Trade. MONTREAL, August 1. -At the end of July cattle shippers figure up their losses or pine for the season. It is the turning month of the season, marking the time when the heavy fat stook should be all out of the country, and the stocker trade should get in. So far as the fat cattle is concerned no money has been made. It has been almost continual loss since tip season opened, and some of the larger operetore must have drop- ped a large amount of money. The figures given below show an inorease in the number of cattle @hipped. Considering that the carryiog capacity of the steamers has been reduced by the regulations, thie increase,18, on its faoe, surprising, but is explained by the larger number ef vessels engaged. The increase in the stocker shipments, which have, so far, made a little money, is another reason for the increased -shipments. The figures- show a disposition on the part of shippers to centre to the less important markets'which are said to have made more money than the old established centres. While the export of cattle has increased there is a marked decrease in the sheep ex- ports, which is explained solely by the bad markets. Shippers in many instances have not received first cost for their shipments. The ehipments for the month of July were as follows: 19,475 cattle' 11,351 sheep, against 17,790 cattle and20,197 sheep in July, 1891; shipments to date are 54,687 cattle, 12,934 sheep, against 48,913 cattle and 21,418 sheep in 1891. There has been no improvement in the -British markets dur- ing the past week. A few shippers are field to have let out in Glasgow, but the losses or, the whole were very heavy, both on cattle and sheep. Native grass fed cattle and American beef are offering SO freely that our cattle cannot compete in the open mar- kets. Under the present position of affairs, cattle will have to be bought one-third lower on this side in order to let out • in other words, the feeder will have to tae lower prices or business must be curtailed. There see -ns to be a large supply of cattle in the country, and, considering the way they are coming forward, prices are well sus- tuined, - The continued weakness in the English markets has compelled the steamship com- panies to reduce their freights on cattle, and there is a drop of fiveshillingsall around this week. The rates may now be quoted at 50c uninsured. Some of the steamships find a difficulty in obtaining their full com- pliment of cattle, as some of the smaller shippers have dropped out of the trade alto- gether, unable to stand the heavy losses. The losses of cattle on ehipboard have not been heavy this year, but nearly all the boats landing at the present time lose a few animals. Manitoba domestic) cattle for ship- ment to the old country are commencing to arrive now. Two train loads have already arrived, and two more are on the way; they are very good cattle this year. A couple of car loads of ranch cattle have reached this market, but it is yet too early for these. It is probable, however, that the ranch cattle will be in condition to ship earlier this year than usual. Reports from the ranches state that a good deal of the eurplus stock has al- • ready been sold for•the British Columbian market, where there is an active local de- mand, and on this account the shipments to the old country will fall behind those of last year.
