The Farmer In Western Canada Achieves
Wonderful Success.
One OF the first things that the man
who wishes to change his residence
endeavors to find out is where he can
so and succeed. 1t need be a matter
of little doubt or indecision now. Dur
ing the past four or FIVE years the de-
velopment of Western Canada has
been so rapid, and the conditions OF
life there so widely known, that up
wards of 10000 Americans have taken
up their homes there, and the expert
ence Of these people is that they are
thoroughly satisfied with their choice
of home.
y The methods Of farming there are
similar to those adopted in the United
States, but the operations are simpler,
the yield OF grain greater and the
profits more satisfactory. Ranching
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 Sc
lected from one.
A good, intelligent farmer named
Mears, John Mears to be exact. left
Cavalier county, North Dakota, two
years ago and followed the thousands
who had already gone to Canada. He
had twenty-five years experience in.
Minnesota, in buying grain, including
fax, but in all his experience he never
saw a district so well suited to the
growth OF fax as Western Canada.
The financial results OF Mr. Mears'
operations in single season are as
follows Wheat, 5000 bushels. l hard.

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. It Is TO facts
like these arguments expressible and

Of American farmers Is due. Mr..
Mears is settled near Arcola, ASA.
