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. .s2
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. ~'.sf. r-">
