Ono of the first things that tho man who wishes to change his residence endeavors to find out is where he can go and succeed. It need be a matter of little doubt or Indecision now. During Dur-ing the past four or five years the development de-velopment of Western Canada has boon so rapid, and the conditions of life there so widely known, that upwards up-wards of 100,000 Americans have takon up their homes there, and the experience experi-ence of these people Is that they are thoroughly satisfied with tholr choice of home. Tho methods ot farming there aro similar to those, adopted in the United States, but the operations aro simpler, the yield of grain groater and the profits more satisfactory. Ranching Is carried ou with lots of success. Mixed farming Is always profitable, while tho results In grain-raising aro as certain as splendid noil, excellent climate and lots of sunlight can give. Tho yields of , but nothing Is as satisfactory as the experlenco of the farmer himself, and extracts are selected se-lected from ono. A good, Intelligent farmer named Mears, John Mcars to bo exact, left Cavnllor county, North Dakota, two years ago and followed the thousands who had already gono to Canada. He had twenty-five years' experience in Minnesota, In buying grain, including flax, but In all his experience he never saw a district so well suited to the growth of flax as Western Canada, The financial results of Mr. Mears operations In a single season are as follows: Wheat, 3,000 bushels, 1 hard, pt 67c, 91,785; 2.C80 bushels 1 Northern, North-ern, at 64c, 11,457.20; Oats. 1.7C0 bushels, bush-els, at 35c. 1612.50; Speltz. 154 bush-ols, bush-ols, at 75c, $116.50; Flax, 324 bushels, at $2, $C28, Total, $4,598.20, a return of more than $4,500 from a little over 250 acres, an avorage of $18 per aero, Is surely testimony sufficiently strong to satisfy the most Incredulous, as to the money to be mado out of the soil of tho Canadian West. It is to facts llko these arguments expressible and demonstrable In dollars and cents that tho steady northward movement ,of American farmers is due. Mr. Mears is settled near Areola, Assa. A number of Americans who have chosen Western Canada as a homo had the Idea that a man enjoyed less freedom In Canada, but they soon found their mistake, and say the laws of Canada are the most liberal In the world, and such as prevent the litigation litiga-tion which breeds so much bad feeling feel-ing between people in the United States and costs them so dear in lawyers' law-yers' fees. Tho government has established agencies at St. Paul, Minn.; Omaha, Nsb.j Kansas City, Mo.; Chicago, 111.; Indianapolis, Ind.; Milwaukee, Wis.; Wausau, Wis.; Detroit, Sault Ste. Marie and Marquette, Mich.; Toledo. Ohio; Watertown, S. Dakota; Grand Forks, N.
