that he was not making much head.
way, he decided to look up a home
stead in Canada. With $3.50 he and
his wife took up a homestead near
Outlook, Saskatchewan. After recount
ing his experiences OF q few years, in
which they had undergone hardships
which were likely to be unavoidable,
with a small amount Of capital, he
continues the story by stating that
IN the fall after fair summers work
on his Ice acres cropped, he cleaned
up nearly all his debts, having now
four good horses. a complete set OF
farm machinery including two wagons

proposition was better than farming.
did not stop to consider that wheat
was lot the only thing; as a matter
OF fact had sold pork for IA cents a
pound. Eggs and butter had kept US
IN groceries and more, we had now
four mich cows, two heifers coming In
and more growing up. We had a cream
separator, and some hogs. We had
quarter section Of land that could
raise an abundance of small grain,
roots and grass for feed, but / could
not see all that: / had the moving
fever, and decided to SELL

that much money, however, so I came
down until / finally sold for s1.400.
We had an auction and sold the per-
sonal property. On the sale we got
Just about enough cash to pay the ave
tioneer; the rest was all notes.
The horses brought about two-thirds
what they were worth. The imple-
ments sold for hardly one-third Of
what they had cost The cattle
brought a good price.
Must Make Another Start
We now have q homestead in Mon
tana. but we find that after moving
here and getting settled. what money
We had did not go far. We have three
horses, about all the implements We
need, and a little better buildings
than We had on our former place. We
have no cattle, though we had to build
much fence to keep ranch stock out
Of our fields. We have about $500

True, we have half section In

TO Us. as long as We have not the
capital with which to work 1t.
In summarizing it all up see where
