THE CEREAL PRODUCTS. Wheat is the principal cereal grown in Mam'toba, but oats and barley are a good crop. The quality of each is unsurpassed.

While the )ield is materially less, per acre, tliis year,jthe increased ar.reage will have a tendencj- 1.0 swell the total at least 1,500,000 bushels, and conservative estimates i)lace the yield of 188G at 6.ooo,occ bushels.

Each one, in his turn, works for the advancement ot ihe -city he represents. Substantial business blocks have replaced the huts of the Aborigines; and a city, noted for its prosperity, is that of Winnipeg. Traditional manuscript .*:o far ignominiously fails to reveal statistics of any Oriental city that can proportionately compare with those of this city for the last seven years. Either Eastern cities never experienced such a growth or the ancient, medieval and mr)dern historians have neglected to record them. Hut none could have occurred. There was but one place, but a single spot, on the surface of the earth where a village ot two or three hundred people could spring into a great metropolitan rt-nter in less than a decade. T lere wa.s only one place where a hamlet could developt into a di.stributing ;uid wholesale center, for a territory more than i,ooo miles square, in so short a lime. And that place fornl^ the confluence ot i.ic Red and .\ssinil»oinc Rivers. And the distributing and wholesale center is the City of VVinni[Kt;. Excepting a cnimbled pile of stone nothing remains of ^';rt darry but the name. As a structure of fortification it is oblivious. 'I'ht many thrilliuii in- < idents and trying privations, with which its name has beer, linked, have bvcn < hronided by the essayist and historian; snd a fort to which the Canadian Korthwt.vst looked for protection and defense is now pointed out as a total ruin. 'f"he crude and apparently barren country is bedecked with n\onu mental buildings (;f prosperity; and old Fort Ciarry has given away to a .ity •<.f greatness and wealth. Thus we have the City of Winnipeg, loss than 15 years of age. Not yet jcaching the age of maturity, the age when an individual can take unto hiiv self a (juarter section of tliis golden belt, yet this young city has fiUd a jirc tjniption and homesteaded a tract, of four miles .square. It has cultivated it: /ostered it, and built upon It: and to-day its assessed valuation, both real and personal, exceeds $21,000,000. The City of Winnipeg has in the neighborhood of .^oo busmc.->s houses; more than 50 manufacturing institutions, 50 fir.^it -class hotels and over a dozen banking houso.^. With this foundaiion laid when only 1 ^ years old, it i«! impossible to conceive what another decade will add. For Winnipeg, witli its numerous natural advantages, cannot be held back by all the con- centrated pow er oi adverse elements.

Mr, Ouilvie has had faith in Manitoba since his fir.'.t visit, as was substantially ratified by the early erection of "Ogilvie's No. 14." The Ogilvie Milling Company have iiixtcen elevators in the Province of Manitoba, and have wheat buyers at twenty three stations. Mr. John Ogilvie was in the city six weeks |)rior to ()ct. 15, 1886, on a visit of in.^pection.

Mr. Ogilvie aho has two nulls in Montreal, and two in Ontario, which, in connection with U\e "No. 14," will have a combined capacity of 5,000 barrels per day.
