There are several ways in wbio,
excellent farming lands can ha g
cured in the provinces of MspitoA.
Saskatchewan or Alberta, and al,o
British Columbia.
In the first place the offer Of IN.
Dominion Government of 100 acres n
land free to the settler is sometime
not given by any other country. Con-
ditions of settlement are easy. Live
upon the land six months in each yea,
for a period of three years, cultivate
about thirty acres, and erect a habit.
able house. Instead of cultivation
the keeping of a certain number n,
head of cattle will carry with it tha
same value. Many of these home
steads may be had in the open prairs
area, where every acre can be put
under cultivation, but to the man with
limited means, in the park area, lying
north of the central portion Of three
of the provinces named, there is at.
forded the best chance In this park
country are beautiful groves of poplar
and willow, small lakes and streams,
and sufficient open area to enable one
to go into immediate cultivation for
crops of wheat, oats, barley and fax,
any one of which does wonderfully
well, giving prolific yields. In due
time when more land is required for
cultivation, these groves may be cut
down at small cost. In the meantime,
however, they have been valuable in
providing fuel and shelter for cattle
which thrive wonderfully on the wild
grasses that grow in abundance.
Another plan is to purchase from
some of the railway companies who
hold large tracts, or from some re-
sponsible land company The prices
asked are exceedingly low and the
terms easy. Whether one may decide
to locate in the open prairie area or
in the park country the land will be
found to be of the same general tex

Again attention is drawn to the fact
of the great opportunities for farming
that are offered in Western Canada
Already a number of holders OF tracts
of land there, who are residents OF
the United States-business men, mer
chants, lawyers, bankers-men OF fore
sight and keen knowledge OF DuSf
ness, have decided to cultivate the
lands they have been holding fOr
speculation and wait no longer for
buyer to turn up. They are acting
wisely.
