PROSPERITY IN CANADA.
The Farmer In western Canada
 Achieves Wonderful Success

One of the first things that the man who wishes to change his resi- ienee endeavors to find out IS where he may go and succeed. It need be matter of little doubt or indeeislon now- During the past four or live 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, ana the profits more satisfactory. Ranch ing is carried on with lots of success.
 Mixed farming is always prohtaoie' 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 or the farmer himself, and extracts are selected from one.
 A good, intelligent farmer, named Aears. John Mears, to be eXact-left Cavalier County, North Dakota, two
 years ago. and followed the thou sands who had already gone to Gan ada. He had twenty-five years eX- perienee in Minnesota, in buying
 grain. including flax, But in all ms experience he never saw district
 so well suited to the growth of flax as Western Canada. The financial
 results of Mir Mears' operations Tn
 q single season are as follows: Wheat, 1000 bushels. hard at 57Re, S1, 7s5.oo. 2.6s0 bushels, l Northern at 54c, Sl,-
 45720; oats, 1,75o bushels, at 33e'
 s612.50. Speltz, 154 bushels at 75c' $115.50. Flax, 324 bushels, at S2, S62s. Total, S4,59s. .20.-A return of more than $4.5oo from a little over 25o 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 ot the l soil of the Canadian West. It IS to | facts like heterogeneous express | ible and demonstrable in dollars and cents. that the steady northward movement of American farmers Is due. Mir Mears is settled near Ar cola, Assa.
 A number of Americans who have chosen Western Canada as 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- gation which breeds so much bad | feeling between people in the United States and costs them so dear in l lawyers fees.
