Nov 1899 Dear Old Friend in Newmarket My health will not allow me to do more than poke around and very slow at that which is a great change for me It is over a year now since I had to quit work but I am hoping to This country is quite different from Manitoba There it is all wheat here it is cattle and stozk A lot of rain fell here last summer AH July it was wet in August alone there were 12 inches of waterfall and September was also hard on the crops Oats barley and rye the principal grains grown here and there being to much wet weather the grain grew so rank and thick that it was late before it could be cut The ground was so soft the grain had to be cut with the mower or by hand What do you think of loads off ten acres I My brother Joe had some oats that he mowed with the soythe and bound by hand then carried out of the water to dry that will turn out from to bushels good oats to the acre here do not place much dependence upon the grain because if it does not ripen into a good sample it makes firstclass feud for cattle Everybody here calculates- to have cattle and they are in fine shape now- fat and prime the weather having been fine this fall and now there is lots of feed on the prairies and that saves feed from the farm On account of so much rain the did not secure near enough hay to feed their cattle so they are paying a head for keep of young cattle the winter Farmers who have lots of feed are doing at that We are having remarkably fine weather some were playing lawn tennis If the winter was only like this it would be a fine country to Quite a few settlers are com ing
