There are. thousands today looking
for farms to buy, and with the hun
dreds of thousands Of acres offered for
sale, there is no lack of opportunities.
But there are all classes of lands, good,
bad, and Indifferent, much Of each.
The government of the Dominion of
Canada has no land for sale, but with
in the boundaries of the Dominion
there are unlimited acres of choice
land owned by railway and land COM
panies and private individuals. It
holds no brief for any, nor are any
Of them clients. But it is to the in
terest of the Dominion to have the hun
dreds of thousands Of acres placed IN
der cultivation, for every acre thus Gull
tivated adds to the revenue which helps
pay the government Of the country. 1t
is with the purpose of setting forth
the agricultural advantages that Can
ada, especially Western Canada, pos
sesses, that attention is drawn to the
fact. The purpose is to place before
the reader truthful statements, and
advise the prospective settler as to
the necessity to investigate and in
spect, leaving to his own deduction the
matter Of his selection. Once he de-
cides, the government will render him
any further information necessary as
to location, prices and value of land,
and assist him in every way possible to
become settled.
The cost of a trip to Western Can
ada, to any portion of the three prov
inces-Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta-specially indicated in this
work, is but trifle compared with the
benefits that a personal inspection may
give. Therefore the advice is to do
so. Low rates on railways will be ar
ranged and every opportunity afforded
for giving the country a thorough and
careful examination. 1t may be that
you wish an improved farm, all ready
for occupation and cultivation; you
may want raw prairie, which only re-
quires blowing and the other prepare
ton necessary for seed bed, leaving
it to yourself to erect your buildings,
sink your well, prepare your garden,
and ascertain how close you are to
school, church, town and market. You
may wish to go into mixed farming
combining the raising Of stock with the
growing of grain. In this case you
will look out for some shelter from
sun, wind and storm, and want a farm
a portion of which may be cultivated
for grain, and pasture fields connected
with it. You may make this out Of the
open level prairie, but you will do bet
ter to secure a partially wooded lot,
where water and pasture are already
at hand. You may wish to go into the
raising of cattle, or sheep alone; then
you will care less for the open prairie,
but select something that may cost you
less in the more northerly districts.
No matter what you may want, unless
it be land upon which to grow cotton,
bananas or other tropical or semi-trop-
zeal products, your inspection trip will
reveal to you that Western Canada pos
sesses possibilities beyond which any
literature you may read advises you
