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
60 and succeed 1t need be q 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 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 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 q district so we'll suited to the
growth of hax a. Western Canada.
The financial results of Mr.. Mears'
operations in . single season are al
follows: Wheat, 5000 bushels, hard,
at 571sc, $1,785; 1850 bushels North
ern, at SAC. $1,45T.20; Oats, 1.750 bush
els, at 35c, $612.50; Speltz, 154 bush
els, at 75c, $115.5o; Flax. 324 bushels
at 50, $62s. Total, $4,59S.2o, return
of more than $4,000 from little over
$50 acres. an average of s1S per acre
| Is surely testimony sufficiently strong
to satisfy the most incredulous as to
the money to be made out Of the sol
of the Canadian West. 1t is to facts
like these-argument expressible and
demonstrable in dollars and cents
that the steady northward movement
OF American farmers is due. Mr.
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 soor
found their mistake, and say the laws
Of Canada are the most liberal In the
world. and such as prevent the litiga
ton which breeds SO much bad feel
ing between people " the United
States and costs them so dear in law
yers' fees.
