Maddocks Fi-irmerlv of Flesherton. S: MOUSE OF GIUALITY THE TRUTH ABOUT THE NORTHWEST Inspectors Widmeycr and Beattie of Bruce paid a visit to Wiarton re- cently and succeeded in locating a 25-gallon still in a chicken pen, own- ed by Clayton Wright, a tinsmith of that town. Wright at first denied all knowledge of »he presence of the still, but later sijrnified his intention of pleading: guilty. "I am asked this question reg- ularly,"' says an old pioneer, "by men. mostly I'.irmers: Does farm- ing pay ? and what are conditions in this grejit country?" The greai. Creator, with infinit3 wis- dom, ga â-  .Alaska its gold, â€" Briiish Columhi:. ,s forri^ts, â€" Niiagara its fruit. â€" Qut iiec its mines and the N'orthwest its soil. The Creator must have been im- pelled by n i;L»nerous impulse in d:.i!- ing with '"the west.'' for from the Red River, v.est to the foothiils.Can- ai.ki received in the matter of deep ficrtile soil, the best that the earth has to give. With the advent of the transcon- tinental railroad, a new class of settlers arrived, ail hardy men and women filled with hope and blessed with healtli and possssse<I of a ster- ling character. For years Manitoba wheat received the top price and proHuced by far the largest number of bushels per acre. But W^^tern dirt, great as its fer- tileness had-^iroved to be, could not upset tho inexorable laws of nature. The thirty, forty and fifty bushels per aci-o of wheat yields began to glimm ;• after a few years of wheat raising and a few people began to realizo that they would have to pay back something into tho soil to enjoy its bL'nefits. It has been found that mixed farming is necessary to pay the ('ivid^nds. Many are growing corn; developing the dairy business; goin^ into poultry and bee keeping, so .'I new yra has dawned for the Northwest and it will pay. .After having such a cold spell ten days ago mild weather set in last week that has made one f }el as though spring was here and cold weather a thing of the past . The ponds, lakes and wells were suffering for : th? want of water and many of the ' latter wete dry, but now there is : an abundance of water evei"ywhere. | The snow on the roads has been very deep this year and l#iis wsek are «iuite I high making travelling very hard.. | 1 W3 ALWAYS KEEP A FULL STrCK OF FRESH GROCERIES ON HAND FirjIT â€" Oranges, Lemons and Grayo Fruit.
