PROSPERITY IN CANADA.
The Farmer In Western Canado
Achieves WOnder ful Success.

One of the first things that the
man who wishes to change his resi-
dence endeavors to find out is where
he may go and succeed. 1t need be
matter of little doubt or indecision
now During the past four or five years
the development of Western Canada
has been so rapid, and the conditions
of life there so widely known, that up
wards of 100000 Americans have
taken up their homes there, and the
experience of these people is that
they are thoroughly satisfied with
their choice of home.
The methods of farming there are
similar to those adopted in the United
States, but the operations are SIM
pier, the yield of grain greater, and
the profits more satisfactory. Ranch
ing is carried on with lots of success.
Mixed farming is always profitable,
while the results in grain-raising are
as certain as splendid soil, excellent
climate and lots of sunlight can give
The yields of - but nothing is as
satisfactory as the experience OF
the farmer himself, and extracts are
selected from one.
A good, intelligent farmer, named
Mears, John Mears, to be eXact-left
Cavalier County, North Dakota, two
years ago, and followed the thou
sands who had already gone to Can
ada. He had twenty-five years ex-
perience in Minnesota, in buying
grain, including flax. But in all his
experience he never saw district
so well suited to the growth of flax
as Western Canada. The financial
results of Mr.. Mears' operations in
| a single season are as follows: Wheat,
5000 bushels, hard at 57hc, ST, $500.
1850 bushels, 1 Northern at sac, ST.
| 1870; oats, 1850 bushels, at CSC,
S61250. Speltz,, l54 bushels at rae.
S1l5.5O Flax, 324 bushels. ut s., S62S.
| Total, S4,59S.20.-A return of moro
| than $4,000 from a little over ESQ
acres, an average of SIS per acre
is surely testimony sufficiently strong
to satisfy the most incredulous as To
the money to be made out of the
soil of the Canadian West. 1t is to
| facts like Heterogeneous express
| ible and demonstrable in dollars and
cents, that the steady northward
movement of American farmers is
due. Mr.. Mears is settled near Ar
| cola, ASA.
A number of Americans who have
chosen Western Canada as a home
had the idea that man enjoyed less
| freedom in Canada, but they soon
found their mistake, and say the laws
| of Canada are the most liberal in the
world, and such as prevent the liti-
| cation which breeds SO much bad
feeling between people in the United
| States and costs them SO dear in
lawyers fees.
