life there so widely known. that up
wards Of 100000 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
The methods Of farming there are
similar 70 those adopted in the United
States. but the operations are simpler,
the yield OF grain greater AID 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.

Mears is settled near ArcOla. ASA
A number Of Americans who have
chosen Western Canada as a home
had the idea that a man enjoyed less
freedom in Canada, but they soon
found their mistake, and say the laws
