The Easiest Terms on Land Ever Offered— Only One=Tiventieth Down; 20 Years in Which to Pay. ■ $2,000 Loans to Settlers. Let the Canadian Pacific Railway Put You on the Road to Fortune

With the richest soil in the whole world in Western Canada; with cheap lands which will produce doteble and triple what worn-out, high-priced lands anywhere else will produce; with the chance the country offers to start on to make your farm pay for itself and make you independent in a few years, why does the CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY make such startling, amazing liberal offers to get settlers for the Canadian West? Many a farmer has asked this question. It seems to him that if the opportunities there are so great, the country, would quickly settle itself without such inducements,- The answer is easy. The natural resources and opportunities are settling Western Canada rapidly—yet not as fast as it might be settled. Every new settler means bigger crops, more hauling for the Canadian Pacific Lines. Therefore every effort is made to get more and more settlers. And besides this not only are settlers wanted, but the best class of settlers are desired and the Canadian Pacific colonization policy gets them. The motives are right; the wonderful ofs"fers made you are backed by brains and vast sums of money to carry them out; the opportunities are conservatively represented; it only remains for YOU tq. say whether 'you will be as quick to grasp the chances offered as thousands of good farmers before you. Bare is Your Greatest Opportunity— GOOD Land—Lowest Prices, Wonderfully Easy Terms. No mere land company on earth could exist and offer such terms on rich, virgin, vigorous land, as are offered by the Canadian Pacific Railway. Just stop and consider it takes some thinking to fully realize thejtremendous opportunity for you that lies in these terms alone: PAY ONLY ONE-TWENTIETH* DOWN —that is, only 5 per cent of the price of your farm is what you have to pay when you buy an d if you want this much* time, you can PAY FOR YOUR FARM IN TWENTY YEA.RS! You may ask, “Will it take me twenty years to pay for my farm?” Certainly not, nothing like that long, not if you farm with anything like the energy of most of the American farmers who have settled in Western Canady In twenty years you surely will make enough money to pay for your farm and,, home and buildings over and over again. But here s the point You can take twenty years to pay if you want that long. These splendid terms let you use by far the greater part of your capital for farm improvements, as you have to pay so little each year on your land. Yo can invest most of the money you make in bigger crops and make greater returns for

yourself. It makes security for you doubly sure. Which would you rather do, buy from a land company and be forced to pay up in three years, tying up most of your capital in the land itself, or buy from the Canadian Pacific and have most of your capital to invest in crops which will make you a great deal of money? If you purchase good land at $20.00 an acre in Western Canada, your first payment would be only 5 per cent of the price; that is„ SI.OO an acre, or only $160.00 on 160 acres of $20.00 land, worth $3,200. The balance would then be divided into nineteen equal yearly installments and interest would then be charged on the unpaid balance at the rate of 6 per cent. These remarkable terms are made for the FARMER’S BENEFIT—not made to speculators. They are offered only to those who will Improve the land and crop it. Let the other fellow tie up his capital by buying land on which he has to pay one-third to one-half right away in cash and has only one or two years to pay the balance. Decide now to purchase YOUR farm from the Canadian Pacific. Use YOUR capital for farming. ' Making the Farm Renter a Farm Owner What chance has the renter of an American farm? Land rents are constantly going up. The tenant’s lot gets harder day by day. If he works on shares, he gives half of all he raises to the landlord, and often has to pay for everything himself,, including the upkeep and fertilizing of the farm. If he makes a bare living he . does well. If he makes a little surplus, he must put it into equipment to keep his head above water. Moreover, land is not getting any better, especially the land the renter usually gets. Wasteful methods, continuous cropping, lack of restoration of soil fertility have cut down its power to produce good yields. The tenant comes to an impoverished soil, over which he must labor twice as hard to get reasonable returns. And he has nothing better to offer his children. Land in the middle West is high in price—anywhere from SIOO to S2OO an acre. His grandfather, who came west in pioneer times, had a big holding. When his boys grew up, he divided it among them, giving them a, fair-sized farm apiece. But the farm renter hasn’t any farm. He hasn’t any land to give his sons.-. He won’t have any in ten or twenty years from now—only a bundle of rent receipts. He has no future. Neither has he the amount of money with which to buy land In the high-priced corn-belt Many such men turn their eyes to Western Canada, where lands are cheap, and a farm will pay. for itself. But even the opportunities of the Canadian West seemed closed to many tenant farmers, because they

Canadiu Pacific Agricultural Experts Advise Mixed Farming Great Demonstration Farms—Free Advise to Settlers—Stock Loaned in Value up to SIOOO SseMMis of Its greatness as a grain-grow-ing country, the profit possibilities in mixed farming in the Canadian West have been too little realized by the Western Canada farmer and by the American farmer who is thinking about settling there. The farmer should > give his attention to diversified farming rather than to straight grain growing. There is a high-priced market right at his door for all the vegetables, poultry, eggs, dairy produels, cattle, horses, sheep and hogs that the Western Canada farmer can raise. And the farmer who markets a part or all of these products is the man who in the long run will make the greatest profits. Mixed farming means the constant improvement of the farm and of the fertility of the soil. And even more important to the new settler it means an income from the start, and the way to start with. UtUe and build up a good, sure and regular income. Farmers assemble at the Demonstration Farms and are given expert advice without charge; they hear lectures and see practical demonstrations, and the result is that all become better farmers and bigger producers and consequently have greater profits to their credit. ■> The finest dairy herds, beef cattle, hogs, sheep and poultry are kept at the Demonstration Farms, and the settler may purchase such stock for his own farm at the actual cost to the Canadian Pacific.
