 Read what Mr. GertS has 10 say:
 BstfIeto-d. SaSk., Aug. i, 1907. Dear Sir
 Thinking 2 letter from us Northwest settlers might interest you, and write few lines and let 1aa know We are progressing finely ard well pleased with our neS home.
 When l think Of the many hard working. Industrious men east with families who are struggling for liy- Ing and doing the strenuous. laying up practically nothing for old age and the thousands Of acres Of land here yet to oe ploved and cultivated capable of raising sixty 10 eighty bushels of cats, thirty 10 forty bushels Of wheat. il ce-- tainly seems 3 pity the two cannot be brought together. But l Will repeat. this country is only for the industrious ard thrifty: also I might add. it re- qQires sCme capital 10 start.
 4 man should have al least a team Of three good horses: better 10 have mares so as to have some colts com ing along each year. II is best 10 bring them with him as work horses are high He should be able 10 purchase blow. disc and drag, harrow. drill, binder and hay rake. Of course sey- eral taking up claims or buying land near together can divide up tie pur- chasing Of the above machinery and exchange work This plan will work well for few years or until crops will warrant each individual 10 purchase a full outfit.
 We have 4S0 acres Of as good farm land as lies in the famous Cut Knife district. Every foot can be plowed. Last year our oats run 60 bushels per acre. sold them for 5oc per bushel on the place.
 The indications are for a good crop this year. though We were very late in seeding owing to the late spring. Last winter was the coldest known in this country by the oldest settlers tsoue who have been here 8 years), but with comfortable house and plenty of firewOod. which We hauled four miles. We passed the winter quite pleasantly. The air is clear and dry. Some of the days I came from work was surprised 10 find the thermometer registering 40' below zero. Though We never keep fire at night, We had nothing freeze in cur cellar.
 Our stock and chickens wintered fine. have yearling heifer. who
