Plowing and Disking "Breaking" Moose Jaw District.
This is almost certainly a C.S. Co. card, although it is marked only with the distributor initials "L.R. 1475". Souch's C.S. Co. booklet records an "L.R." in Moose Jaw and while card 1475 is not recorded, card 1476 *is* in the list and is also an "L.R." from Moose Jaw. Presumably "L.R." is "Lewis Rice". The postcard has a Moose Jaw & Calgary R.P.O. postmark dated June 9, 1909 and is addressed to someone whose name looks like Mr. Lee Silliman Jr. of Toulon, Illinois, which is over by the Iowa border. It reads: "Moose Jaw - Dear Nephew, I remember once upon a [time] you wrote me a letter and I will now send you a card from the fields of Canada. There is just lots of beautiful prairie and it looks like a good chance for a young man to raise wheat in [?] a good time, Your aunt, Sarah."

A Saskatchewan Harvest Scene.
C. S. Co. card no. 110, unrecorded by Souch. Part of a multi-card letter across the whole back:
"...fashions in advance of us. Yesterday we went to Baptist Church in morning, and the train moved on during dinner to a small town called Sutherland. We got out and Dr. Coward, Emily and I went to a tiny Methodist church. Good preacher. After service we just got on train again when it started back to Saskatoon. It was a lovely night. Northern lights splendid and moonlight went..."
