EIGHTEEN YEARS
AGO HE HAD LESS
THAN 3 DOLLARS
HE is NOW ONE OF THE RICHEST
FARMERS IN SASKATCHEWAN,
CENTRAL CANADA.

Arriving in Canada in 1891, just
eighteen years ago, e. A. Guillomin
could speak but his native language.
He is a Frenchman. He had but
a little over two dollars in his pocket,
thus being short over seven dollars of
the ten dollars required to secure en-
try for a homestead of one hundred
and sixty acres. He eventually Dor
rowed the money and near Forget,
Saskatchewan, he started life in Can
ada on the homestead in which to-day
he is the fortunate possessor of fifty
quarter sections of land, or 5000 acres.
Now Mr.. Guillomin did not acquire
all these acres as a result altogether Of
his farming operations, which were
extensive. He looked with satisfac-
ton upon what he was doing on his
limited area, he was saving, careful,
and had foresight. Surrounding land
could be had for about $500 per acre,
and he continued buying as his saw
ings would permit, until now he has
fifty quarter sections, some of which
he can sell at $500 per acre.
Threshed Fifty Thousand Bushels.
This year he was engaged in thresh-
ing on his place for 54R days. He
threshed out $4,000 bushels of wheat,
of which he sold $4,000 bushels, one
train load, at q price varying from 81
to 81 cents per bushel. He has on
hand still 10000 bushels. In addition
to wheat he raised 10000 bushels of
oats, 1000 bushels of barley and 500
bushels of fax. He owns 104 horses
and a number Of cattle, but since the
construction Of the railway he has
been engaged chiefly in raising wheat.
This year he bought his first thresh-
ing machine, paying for it the sum
of S2,100. He estimates that the ma
chine earned for him this fall $4,000,
thus paying for itself in one season
and leaving 5000 to the good. The
weather was very propitious for farm
threshing, not a single day being lost
in the two months which were spent
in this work. The wheat averaged 20
bushels to the acre and graded No. 1
and No. 2 Northern. In the past nine
years seven good crops have been har-
vested 'on this farm. For six success
sive years the returns were excellent,
that is in the years 1901, 1902, 1903,
1904, 1905 and 1906. In the two fol-
lowing years there was a partial fail
ure. AS the years have passed the
quality of the buildings on the farm
have been steadily improved, and are
now as good as can be found in the
district. About $4,000 has been in
vested in this way by Mr.. Guillomin
The farm consists OF $3.50 acres, Of
which about 5000 acres were under
crop this season.
