MADE $1,000
OUT OF HOGS
On His Western Canadian Farm.

1t is getting to be long drawn out
story, the way that Western Canadian
farmers have made money. Many Of
them few years ago, came to the
country with little more than their
few household effects, probably team
of horses and COW or two, and suffi-
cient money to do them for a few
months, until they got a start. Hum
dreds of such can be pointed out, who
today have splendid homes, well
equipped FARMS, the latest machinery
and an automobile. Here is the case
of A. e. Merriam, formerly of DEVILS
Lake, N. d. He didn't leave there be-
cause the land was poor, or farming
not success, for oil who know that
country are aware that 1t is an excel
lent country. He wanted to expand.
to take advantage of the cheap land
that Western Canada offers. And that
same story has appealed to hundreds
of others who have had like success
with Mr.. Merriam. But his story, and
he signs it, too, is:
II came to Alberta in the Spring Of
1909 from Devils Lake, North Dakota,
locating ON my farm near Dalroy.
Il arrived with six head of horses
and two head of cattle and about
$500. Since then, I have increased
my live stock to seven head of horses,
four head Of cattle, and about one hun
dred head Of hogs, a four-roomed
house. good barn with all modern i'm
pr0vements, feed grinder, elevator,
chopper. tanning mill, etc. I have In
creased my original capital at least
four times more since coming here.
"From the feeding Of hogs during
the last year, had gross return Of
$1,000.
II first started grain farming, but
during the past four years I have made
hogs my speciality, and you may see
by the foregoing statement for 1915
that have not done so badly.
"Land has increased at least twenty
per cent in value during the past few
years. now selling for from $25 to $35
per acre, with nominal taxes of about
$27 a quarter section yearly.
"The climate here is better than Da-
kota In that we do not have so much
dry wind; the winters are similar to
Dakota.
"As for farming in general, the grow
ing and feeding of live stock is more
sure than the grain farming, if con-
tinued year after year, and If every
farmer follows this he will be ahead
Of the grain growers In the long run.
Taking everything into consideration,
l feel satisfied witt my success In
Alberta"
