Canadian Agriculture. 
at Indian Head Station, at a cost estimated at 3000/. Three 
miles of fencing were built, and six miles of the chief highways 
had been planted with trees. The "Beautiful" lake at the 
south of the farm had been let down the channel of one of the 
three coulees, by which the farm is drained, so that by an appro- 
priate arrangement of dams, the supply of water is now inex- 
haustible : the railway company agreed to share the expense 
of this work. Spring water of excellent quality had been struck 
at the main house and other stations about the farm. 
The financial figures embodied in the report for 1883 are 
presented in rather a complicated fashion, but as they cannot 
fail to interest English agriculturists, I reproduce them here 
with as little variation as possible, merely remarking that ia 
rendering Canadian money into its English equivalent, 1 have, in 
this case, taken the dollar at its more exact equivalent of 4s. l^d. 
sterling, most of the other values in the course of this paper 
being arrived at by assuming five dollars equal to one pound 
sterling. The gross expenditure for 1883 was 35,546/. lis., 
and the total expenditure since the organisation of the company, 
50,453/.
