Fleming. May 15thf1so3. To the Editor at _The Advance. Barrie. Dear Sir.-As` there are a large` number of former Bimooe Oounty residents in % Fleming and vicinity.- perhaps .a short description of the district would provc- ct interest to your `subscribers. ' ~ 0 The town of Fleming is situated on the.C. P. R. main line about... `two hundred miles west of the metropo- lis. Winnipeg. and in thecentre of a very _rich and prosperous farming community. During the last year theregwere shipped from the district .'.425.0`00 bushels of wheat and a re- serve kept for seed and home use oi 75.000 bushels. The amount of barley _and oats grown was 200.000 bushels. 0.! other farm produce. about 80.000 pounds of butter and.200.000 dozen of eggswere shipped to other points. The sale of poultry was also, verylarge. There is probably no better ectlon in the West tor wheat raising or 101' mixed farming. The soil is arich learn with clay subsoil. The whole district is well watered. the Pepe- stone River running;__about seven miles southof the town, Grass is luxuriant. and hay plentiful. making it a desirable plaoetor*oattle-raising. Many of our farmers have from 20 toa100 head There were shipped from this station during .the year 850 head of cattle and 800 hogs. `This indus- try is rapidly increasing. The coun try is well stocked with fine horses. and the suocesstul. raising. .01. horses makes this a very profitable branch of farming. The" climate is such that horses.` in herds`. teed.-on" the prairie during the whole winter. and are tak- en in- for spring work in splendid con- dition. Many horses are never stabled at all. until theyare brought home to be broken `for worker sold. ` .1 , _ LL . A.I.-.._.-.....
