Many inquiries are made as to the
cost Of such things as are necessary In
starting new home in q new country.
1 have always replied that agricultural
implements are as cheap here as any
where !; groceries, dry goods, &C., but a
trifle more than in New England.
Good beef and mutton retails from five
to ten cents a pound, and, owing to the
great demand, rents are very high. In
most towns it is impossible to get even
q room to live in, and many times you
find people living in rough board shan-
ties or tents till they can get house
built-in fact my wife and I did this
very thing when we first came here.
A good house, 16x2S, one and one-half
stories high, costs from $3.50 to $500 !;
a good team $50, and cows from $50
to $50.
ButI am writing at too great length.
Having myself been an Immigrant"
