Government Pioneer Farm at Four years ago Dry den which is on the main line of the Cana dian Racine Railway miles east of Rat Portage was hardly upon the map It was decided to establish a pioneer farm there to the capabil ities of the district and see what the soil was best adapted for and the site was selected by Hon John Minister of Agriculture himself The farm with its comfortable dwelling house and wellbuilt barn is just op posite the railway station and the sight of acres of cleared and welltill ed fields gives one a most favorable impression of the locality and in this instance after impressions only confirm the first There are acres of which have been cleared in the four years since the farm was established there being not- a stump to be seen At the present time the live stock on the farm consists of twelve head of cattle besides young stock sheep and hogs The prosperity of den as a result of the establfehriiept of the farm there is notable town was surveyed in June and open ed up in August of that year There axe now between and people and several thousand acres of farm lands in the immediate neighborhood have been Sold There are two two general stores one hard ware store a grocery store two ho tels a public library a Town Hall a Hour and feed store and Methodist and churches The pion eer- farm Tinder the management of Mr A been of great service to the settlers showing them as it does just the crops put in The settlers are of a good class mostly front eastern On tario and with a profitable market right at their doors find no difficulty in making a living To erect their bouses they are guaranteed rough lum ber at per thousand feet Here are some average prices they obtain for their produce Butter eggs potatoes taken out of the field pork 12 to cents retail while in the winter the men can earn S3 a cord cutting jack pine Hay clover and timothy grow luxuriantly altho for the first time hay was rather light this season owing to the exceptionally dry weather Yields of all vegetables are large especially potatoes but not nearly enough are grown to supply the needs of the district this year four or five carloads having to be brought in The Manitou gold district is miles south and affords a good market for all produce while settlers can ship east to Port Arttuir and west to Rat Portage The climate is rmichthe same as in Manitoba When I was in about middle of October J picked ripe wild strawberries and the weather was almost like The soil is quite uniform in character and consists of a strong greycolored clay which changes in the lower sec tions to clay loam On the creek bot toms the soil is very rich and heavier timbered making the clearing more difficult On the rolling upland the clay sceins to be of a drier nature and will require much more rain or mois ture than the soil in the same neighborhood I saw no gravelly soil and very little sand In the neighbor hood of the junction between the Peli can and Rivers fudging from the luxuriant growth in the bush of wild peas wild currants and native grass should say that the soil is more of a loamy nature and presents a very favorable situation to the in tending The soil all over the district is exceptionally free from boulders and rolling stone The clay ihzb crumbles worked and cul tivated is very productive but where It is of a dry flaky nature it will re quire either manure or green crops ploughed In to put life into and quick en it before it will give the best suite THIS MONTH In many lines stock is too large They must be reduced least one- hall during this month and we
