THREE YEARS
EXPERIENCES OF A BRITISH I'M.
MIGRANT IN CANADA-WEST.

The following Straightforward state
ment needs no comment to add to
its force and effect. It appears In q
recent issue of the Liverpool Mer-
curry.
H. Patterson, Of Nutana, Saskatche-
wan, Canada, when he arrived from
Liverpool, had six of us to support"
to use his own p~hraseology, and his
funds were getting low. He secured
a homestead 80 miles out from Sun
durn, and started living on 1t April
Is, 1907. The previous fall he put all
his money, s137. into a shack and lot,
making ure Of q home. AS cook and
caterer In a local hotel he made SIS
a month, and out of this had some
savings out Of which he paid his
breaking and improvements on the
homestead. The shack was sold to
good advantage. Then Mr.. Patterson
tells the story after he had removed
his family to the homestead:
For the first month life was SO
strange and new that I hadn't time to
think of anything. only fixing up our
new home. I vas SO green to farm
life that I didn't know the difference
between wheat and oats q do now!
Between working out, cropping my
place, and with my gun, we managed
to live comfortably for the three
years, which time was required to put
in my duties. I had accumulated
quite a stock Of horses, COWS, pigs,
fowls, and machinery In the three
years.
I'm October. 1909, 1 secured my pat
ent to my land, so took a few days
holidays to Saskatoon to locate a
purchased homestead (viz., 12s. per
acre. from the Government. Instead
of getting the purchased homestead.
I secured q half section 1920 acres)
on the Saskatchewan River for $25
per acre on easy terms, nine years.
payments with a cash payment of
$1,000. l mortgaged my first home
stead, obtained chattel mortgages on
my stock, and on December Gath,
1909, took possession; on June 10,
1910, l sold out again for $40 per acre,
clearing, besides my crop GAO a%cres),
$4,000. I also sold my first home
stead, clearing $1,S00 and two Saska-
toon town lots, which we value at
$1,000 each today. We placed all our
capital in another farm (river front
age) and some trackage lots (60), also
a purchased homestead (river front
age). l remained as Manager of the
Farm l. had sold on a three years
contract at a fine salary and house,
garden, and numerous privileges.

expired, with my investments and tho
increased value of my frontage and
lots, l am hoping to have a clear
profit on my $137 investment of
$4,000. My land doesn't eat any
thing. and it is nearly all paid for. I
