BIG PLAINS; MANITOBA. CARBERRY, April 22, 1886. Accepting of the invitation of a friend I paid a visit to the Big Plains a few days ago. Storting from Carberry -in a northeasterly direction, we passed over a hard, well beaten road (" trails" in this district are things of the past) be- tween forms fenced with as much neat- ness and regularity as the lining on the squares of a checkerboard. The fences are all -barbed wire, and are a greet re- lief in comparison to the famous, "snake" or stump" varieties of the east: The country through .whiclr we were passing was as level as a floor, with here and there a large pond sup- plying water for the summer, and hay for the winter use of the stock. Seed- ing was itt full swing, and it was a pleasant sight, so early as April 14th, to see the ground in the best possible state for the reception of the grain, and the farmers busy finishing up their seeding. Here let me remark that I believe there are some men in this world who would notsacceecl were they in Paradise. To this conclusion I come from seeing all over these plains, whieh certainly are as fine as anything the sun shines on, men who, in spite of the splendid chance they had last fall to prepare the land for the seed are only half way through their "spring plowing," while • their wide- awake neighbor, is giving the last stroke of the harrow to his seed bed. Still we wonder at some people's poverty. The Big Plains -stretch for 70 nines east and west, and 40 miles north and south. They are over nearly their en- tire surface what their name designates a "plain." The land ranges from light or sandy to heavy loam with °ley sub- soil. Spring water is had in abundance twenty feet below the surface, and per- fectly free from alkali. Noxious weeds are things unknown, the thistle, the muster -de and the wild oat are as hard to find as an industrious Indian. The first settlers reached' the Big Plains nine years ago this spring, and strange to say a large proportion of thein came from the counties of Huron and Bruce. Amongst the successful ones on the Plains the Scotch -Canadian element pre- dominates, witness such families as the McLarens, the Hopes, the Barrons, the Fergusons, the Blacks, the McKinnons, the Humestons, the Dodds, the McCaigs, the Meeks and the Buoys, all solid, prosperous, hard-working men. All the successful men, however, are not of Scotelodescent. There is a sprinkling of Hibernian blood, while a German - American, Mr. Deunstedt, holds the position of president of the agricultural society, as well as the respect of the neighbors, and a good bank account. A considerable quantity of cheese was made last year, and a creamery is an enterprise likely to be started this [sea - 5011. - The horse flesh of the Big Plains swept everything before it at the late Provincial show and at all the other shows where exhibited. There ie a $3,000 Percheron stallion, as well as a number of goecl animals of other breeds, located here, and they have had the effect of bringing up the standard of the horses ro equal any part of the Do- minion. The first settlers on the Plains have harvested seven successive crops, and they one and all assure me that last season was the first one in which they received loss from frost. The seven pre- ceding crops were good, and were har- vested and marketed. without loss, ex- eept perhaps a slight loss from a super- abundance of ram in 1884. Four years ago their wheat was frozen to the ground in the first af June, end that year they harvested an average of 40 bushels to the acre of unfrozen wheat. Most of those who no* crop from 200 to 300 acres yearly and who own from 20 to 30 head of cattle, from three to five spans of horses, have fine houses, barns and graneries, came here from the east with nothing but their stout limbs and stouter hearts, a,nd have by thrift and hard work, placed themselves in their present prosperous conditions. One man who came here eight years ago with one Mit of clothes and $306, now refuses_ to sell out his farm, house, barns, imple- ments and stock for less than $10,000. These men have not made their way by speculating or through any lucky turn to the wheel of fortune, but have ac- complished it all by "farming"—H. Honsall.

Herchmer has sent $1,200 in whisky fines to Lieut. - Governor Dewdney, and he has $1,000 more to send. $2,200 in five months and he has in the same period spilt 500 gallons. —Eggs were sold in Battleford last week at 20 cents a dozen. Most farmers, however, decline to sell at less than 30, 35 or 40 cents. Butter sells at 35 to 40 cents. —Rev. E. S. W. Pentreath, rector of Christ church, Winnipeg, was the reci- pient on Easter Sunday' of two Easter eggs. The shells were of silver, and the yolks of gold, to the- value of $88.50. They were laid on one of the collection plates at the morning service. —W. B. Sharp, of the Russell sheep ranche, Shell River, is beating the best ever known or heard of ; 40 lainbs from 17 ewes, as follows f Two ewes, 4 lambs each; 6 ewes. 3 lambs each; 5 ewes 2 la.mbs each; 4 ewes, 1 lamb each. The lambs are all alive and doing well up to this time. - —Mr. Scott, a commercial traveller, has just returned to Winnipeg from -:a trip through Southern Manitobe. He , brought in a sample of this year's growth of grass, seven inches long, obtained on, the Brandon Hills. He says the prairie in that section is covered with flowers. He saw a field of ten acres of wheat which was sown on the 23rd of March. It looked splendid. ' —Prairie fires have been numerous this spring in the Neepawa district. A fei,v days ago Joseph Little's granary was burned, and 100 bushels of seed wheat destroyed. The buildings on Mr. liauckle's farm have also been consumed. The fire swept the country for miles to the south. —The Selkirk Record says: A young man lately from Ontario went out shoot- ing on Monday last, and while crossing theaiver near the mouth of the slough, his pocketbook, containing about $500, slipped out of his pocket and fell over- board. Every effort has been made to recover it by dragging the river, and otherwise, but without success. —The Winnipeg Free Press says: As an indication of returning prosperity, it may be mentioned that a large number of people are redeeming their property sold for taxes last year. The city treas- urer received a check a few days- ago from a person in Peterboro for $800 in payment of back taxes. A person who had bought a piece of land at St. James' at the tax sale, for $115, had his money refunded, the owner redeeming his land, paying $378, the amount charged against it. —A car load of hogs arrived at the Canadian Pacific Railway stock yards, Montreal, a few days ago,frorn Griswold, Manitoba, a settlement 26 miles west of Brandon. These hogs were seven days on the road and were none theworse for their long' journey. This is the first shipment of live stock that ever arrived in Montreal from Manitoba. The indi- cations are that it is the precursor of many more. Large numbers of hogs are raised in that section of Manitoba. These hogs are of a good average size and are well fattened. —An extensive prairie fire recently did much damage in the vicinity of Minnedosa. The stock farm of John Wake, and the homestead of John Burg - ger, were in its course and were swept clean. Valuable horses, barns, and a large quantity of hay were totally de- stroyed. On the 22nd of April another fierce prairie fire threatened the village of Morden, but by the exertions of the citizens it was kept from the village. Some of .the neighboring farmers, how- ever, did not fare so well. It burned Thos. York's stables and four horses had a narrow escape. Further on R. P. Thompson's stables and granary were burned, including 400 bushels of wheat.
