Formerly the northern whest brought a lower price than that grown farther south, But the Minvesota millers bit upon imâ€" proved processes of mannfucture. â€" These processes have been adopted throughout North America, and have even found their way to England. As the result, the claim of the great Northâ€"West to be considered the wheat feld of the world, is now generâ€" ally admitted by all competent jndges. A wivalry is established which will put Eastâ€" erm and British farmers to their ntmost etretch of agricultural skill, and were it mot for the freiglitage charges, they would | be practically out of the race. But tho? ecst of transportation, especially nnder the tariffs of the Canada Pacific and other mon. | and private consumers recognize its super» fority, andare willing to pay extra for it. The bread made from it is not ouly whiter and more untritious, but a given unamber of pounds will yield more loaves. These m’n makes a better article then that produced farther south. Mb diatinintaiiiny dbssiniing is ... .. 4 . â€" been done elsewlere, but that wheat grown in the North West is superior in quality to wheat grown in more southerly cliquates. The conclusion :s ingvitable, that in the Sastern portions of the |) nuinion, the agâ€" tentior. of farmers must be divected to those departments of farming, other than wheat growing, which will be remunerative uuâ€" der the new order of thing=, and that those who take time by the forelook will most eurely win in the race.
