There is much gold and silver, aod there is every reason to believe that when machinery is introduced and the facilities for getting into the country are. improved much greater discoveries than ‘any that have yet been made will take place, and miniug will be carried on under circumstances that will render it, a profitable industry. Iam satisfied that the moment the country is opened up and made easy of access, its fine climate and its great natural resources will have ‘‘T found great prosperity,” Sir Char~ “les said, in reply to a question on the Subject— ‘*I found great prosperity all through the'Proviuee of British Columbia, both on the island and on the mainland. In the cities business is flourishing—par-, ticularly in the viciuity of THE RAILWAY WORKS, where there has been a large influx of population ; aud through the country, the weather having been very favorable, the: crops are good.” ‘* What is the position of the railroad, ' aud what progress is it making?” ‘‘T found the railway work progress-. ing very favorably, and have every reason to believe that it will be completed | within the time stated in the contract. | Great anxiety is evinced forthe early’ construction of the road, and satisfaction | is expressed regarding what has been! already done. With the efforts the Gov- ernment is making to establish commu- nieation between British Columbia and this end of the Domin-; ion the people are evidently | well pleased. I received from them a most enthusiastic welcome in every part of the country I visited, both on the island and on the mainland. Nothing could have been more agreeable to me than my Visit was in every respect. The question of labor has beer a very serious one, both in British Columbia aud on the works between Thunder ay and the Red river; but I am never- theless sanguine that the works in British Columbia will be completed withia | the time specified in the contract, and that) tho track between Thunder Bay and Red River will be laid during the month of July next.” ‘* As to the link between the termination of the British Columbia sections now under construction and the road the Pacific Rail- way Company is building, when will it be built ?” ‘“‘' There is every reason to believe that the road across the prairie will reach the foot of the Rocky Mountoins by 1883 When that is completed, and when the Kamloops district is reached, as it will be at Savona Ferry, by the completion of the resent work under construction in British Columbia, the intervening section between Kamloops and the foot of the Rocky Mountains caa be attacked from both sides and completed in a few years.” a=" . a The California wheat yield is consider- ably reduced this year. In 1877 it was 26,000,000 bushels; in 1878, 37,500,000 bushels; in 1879, 37,300,000 bushels, in 1880, 47,000,000 bushels; and in 1881 (ee- timated), 25.300,000 bushels. During this period the acreage of wheat has been large- ly increased, principally by irrigation and by reclamation of tule or tide lands. Therefore, the invariableness of the yield is more notable. The araount of wheat in Californis for export, counting old stock and surplus stock of 1881, is estimated at 60,000,000 busheis, Brrisant Screstivigc Trrompa.— Thous ands cured of Catarrh, Bronchitis, Asthma and Lung diseases by Dr. M.

The plains sustain greai vumbers | Cattle or Sheep. | An esteemed correspondent desires us ito give our views upon the qucstion of ‘cattle or sheep raising, for the farmer, jand we may as well state in the outset ‘that so many side questions are involved ‘in the maiu one, it is not so very easy to igive a concise answer. The location and character ofthe farm, the facilities for marketing, the amount of capital ' . . . . iwhich one invests in the business, and many other conditions and circum- stances are germain io the question. There is no doubt that, other things being equal, a flock of sheep, repre- senting a certain amount of money, upea the cousumption of a similar cash value of food, will yield a greater profit than cattle represeuting the same amouut of capital; therefore if a farmer has a limited amount of capital to invest in stock-raising, and has a farm adapted to sheep husbaudry, there would seem to be no question about which he chould choose. The general farmer, one who feels obliged to raise all that his family consumes from the farm, is unusuaily a person of rather mocerate means, and with him an early cash return of profit with the least possible outlay, is a matter of great importance. Sheep being much smailer and each costing less money, may be more easily gathered in a herd than cattle, by installments, and as opportunity may offer. Sheep also begin to multiply much earlier and continue to do so wit. much more regularity, rapidity, and with much less outlay than cattle. The duties of the general farmer are generally many, aud with his multiplicity of cares’ he finds it difficult to devote that time to caitle raising which the business re- quires to make it profitable. Sheep-husbandry, it is well known, draws less heavily upon a man’s care and time than cattle raising. Indeed, sheep may be managed in a general way and successfully and also in quite large oumbers, with an amount of care and attention which would be entirely inade- senting the same capital. Sheep are very helpful to the farmer in one im- portant respect. With the average general farmer, foul wee's are ever present asa standing army, feeding upen his resources and robbing him of the fruits of his labor. As seavengers and weed destroyers, sheep are far in advauce of cattle. They act as a guard, both offensive and defensive, and so persistent are they in the destruction of this enemy of the farmer’s peace and pocket, that no ordinary farm weed can possibly stand their attack, and in this way they are a great helpmate to man io his business of subduing the earth. They not only destroy weeds, but they make returns to the soil in the form of concentrated manure, the elements of which it has been robbed. Sheep are also so consti- tuted that seasons of great drought and scarcity of food and water do not so seriously affect them as they do cattle. |They will ascend the highest hills, and go up the sides of mountains, cropping the herbage from between the rocks where it is entirrly inaccessible to cattle. Ifthe general farmer is the one to which our correspondent refers, we are mosi decidedly in favour of sheep bus- bandry, provided the farm is adapted to his industry. The natural habitation of the sheep is upon the hills, where it can get the cooling breezes, and a hill farm, or ove that hasa hilly pasture, is much better adapted to sheep raising than oue upon a level plain, and because the hill ‘is their home they are generally health- ier aud more thrifty wheu pastured here and summered elsewhere. <A farmer of verysmal! means, for the reason we have here mentioned, will also find it for his advantege to keep sheep instead of cattle. The sheep is a very prompt and reliable paymaster, much more so than any other domestic animal. ‘Che wool comes off at a season wiien the far- mer wants money more, perhaps, than at any other time; then the sale of the lambs gives a second harvest in the same year. Shwep also require less outlay for shelter in winter. They are quiet and peacable, and will tlifive in an open shed. But if aman has afarm adapted to cattle raising, abundance of means to put ito the raising, abundance of means to put into the business, with a reserve sufficient se that he can wait for his profits, the breeding and raising of cattle may be made a profitable business, as has been shown in various instances to which we eould refer in our own State. Of conrse every farmer must keep cattle ; he must have oxen for work, and cows for the family supply of wilk, butter and cheese; but for the average Maine farmer, when it somes to the question of keeping catile or sheep as a means of raising money to meet his cash bills, we think the preference 1s mest decidedly in favor of the latter.— Maine Farmer. — ee Dxess and Coat Buttons—just received four cases, about eight hundred gross, above bal- ance of a mam:facturer’s stock bought at bank rupt prices-—a wonderful bargaim for new and fashionable goods.
