In the first place I have to thank you for the large num- ber of your kindnesses to us during the last few days, and in the next place the pleasing entertainment with which you have honored us this evening. Ican assure you that they will long be remembered by my- self and in sayi ny this [ think | echo the sentiments of my colleague. Since my visit to Canada three things have struck me most forcibly. Furst, the vastness of the place; next, ‘the love of the people for the old country; and then the unbounded faith the people have in the future of this coun- ; , . | , . Witn appiause, ’ .* response, said : ‘ ana ior aiso try. | think, Sir, you = are justi- fied in this faith both by the re sources «of the country and by the character of its people. [ have, since my arrival, travelled a good many thousands of miles througli Canada. But before I left England J took down my maps to refresh my memory with the Geography i learned in school days; and I then made up my mind that before [ returned I should visit this little sland. A native of an Isiand myself, | have a strong affection for any- thing in the shape of an Island ; and I must say that I am delighted with my visit to this one. But, before giving you my impressions of it, perhaps I had better say what I think about Manitoba and the other Provinces. MANITOBA is @ country of surpassing richness of soil. This soil may be termed a vegetable loam; and it is very deep. ‘There is little miner in it; and it seems to me that you may on farming it for scores and scores of years without exhausting its fertility. While there I saw land which was said to have been cropped for forty successive years, and still the harvest this year was a good one. In Ontario 1 saw land which had been cropped for thirty years without exhaus- tion which proves that in some parts of that Province the land was, originally, almost, if not quite, as rich as that of Manitoba. But the soil apart, the country of Manitoba is too flat. it is like an immense ocean bounded by an horizon which kisses the clouds. The weather in summer is marvelously fine ; and although in winter it is very severe, the air is clear, bracing and invigorating. The mercury of the thermometer, it is true, sinks much lower than it does either here or in Eng-|’' land. Still the people do not complain of the cold. ‘The air is dryer than it is here, and much dryer than it is in the old coun- try ; and it seems that the moisture of the atmosp! ere has a great deal to do with the intensity with which cold isielt. It does not, however, appear to me that Eng- lish farmers will do well by moving to u “Uv Manitova. The sons of English farmers may go there with advantage to them- selves ; but I think the old farmers would do better in Ontario, in some parts of Nova Scotia, and in Prince Edward Island. In Ontario much of the land has been ex hausted by overcropping with wheat ; but I think they have adopted the ri igh@sy ‘stem to restore it. They are going in largely for stock-raising. [I would advecate what we call in England a mixed husbandry. It EB Fa a. * TP RRS, PN PR OTD Rw.
