HAD A CAPITAL OF $500
In Six Years He Was Well off

An Alberta farmer, who had bor-
rowed from a loan company, in re-
hitting to them the last payment on
his mortgage, decided to give them the
history Of his experience, on a Mani
toba farm. 1t was that of many anoth-
er farmer, and for the benefit of those
who contemplate change the liberty
is taken Of reproducing It.

were about as good as nothing and had
either to be rebuilt or replaced entirely.
There were &c acres broken, and very
badly farmed, bringing poor returns
the first year." After mentioning a
number of mischances, he says: "In

done well. consider my farm worth
