THEY KNEW HOW TO WORK
BUT DON'T NEED TO WORK NOW
so HARD.


The experience of the Bisser Bros.
in Western Canada is similar to that
reported to every agent OF the Cana
dian Government, whose advertise
ment appears elsewhere:
"Wheatwyn, Sask, Nov. 9Th, 1908.
ITO the Commissioner OF Immigra-
ton, Winnipeg, Manitoba.-Dear Sir:
/, in company with my brother and
other relations. arrived in this coun-
try in the spring of 1898. At the time
we got off the train at Wolseley, Sask.,
we had only few dollars, not enough
to start farming on our own account,
so we were compelled to work out for
considerable time In order to make
sufficient money to enable us to es-
tablish ourselves. When we thought
we had enough money to start with, l
and my brother took up one quarter
section (160 acres) land each in the
Loon Greek district. In 1900 we moved
on our homesteads with one team of
horses and one walking pillow. While
/ was engaged with the work in the
field, my brother built shack and
barn of logs, which we have hauled
during the time we were not able to
work In the field. We were certainly
working very hard, but / am glad to
say that we made our fortune in this
country. To-day we do not need to
work so hard as we used to, as we
have three men hired steady for
whom we pay $4,000 to $4,000 a month.
besides board and lodging during the
summer time! l am also glad to tell
you that to-day we are owners of
section and three-quarters of the best
land, with first class buildings thereon,
besides having all the necessary ma
chinery. We always do our own
threshing, for we have a 20 horse
power threshing outfit.
"Our success in farming in this
country also enabled us TO get rid of a
number of horses of less value, and
instead we bought 10 pure-bred mares,
representing a value in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000.
Regarding raising grain, which Is
the main factor in our district, l am
proud to say that we have always
had good success. We have raised
wheat as high as 35 bushels to the
acre; and this year, although we suf-
fered from lack Of sufficient rain, our
wheat went 27 bushels to the acre,
and we had 900 acres in crop. We
have broken this year about 100 acres
new land, and by next year we will
have about LILO acres in crop. For
one carload of wheat which we have
shipped few weeks ago we got a
price of 81 cents per bushel, and it
graded as No. 2 Northern, although we
have a quantity of wheat which will
surely go as No. 1 Northern. During
the six years we have been farming
for ourselves we have never had one
frost around here, so that we always
had good crop.
II, for myself, feel compelled to say
that our Great West is the land where
a person who is willing to work and
trun his hands to anything, can make
a fortune, and a comfortable living.
Our country is a thoroughly free coun-
try, and we have a good Government;
and, as long as we have good crops,
and a good Government, we are salts
fed, and l think that is all we want
Yours very truly,
