lands at 120 an acre, hie first payment on our twenty-year terms is only $1 an acre, or |l6O on 160 acres. Now, against this investment of only |l6O in the land, the Canadian Pacific is willing to prove its faith in the productiveness of the land by investing $2,000 in Improvements on this land. And this investment is made absolutely without any security but the land itself and a cash payment of onetwentieth of the amount of the land and loan. In other words, for every dollar the farmer puts into the purchase of 160 acres of |2O land the first year, the Canadian Pacific stands ready to put 112.60 into improving the farm. Seeing this, can any reasonable man doubt that the soil of the lands offered is as rich or the profits that may be made are as great as the Canadian Pacific has always claimed they are? "Money talks" is a saying that may well be applied in this case. The money put up by the Canadian Pacific for farm improvements without outside security, speaks con* vincingly of the fertility of our lands. ADVANCE OF LIVE STOCK ON LOAN BASIS The Company, in the case of the approved land purchaser who can give satisfactory evidence that he is in a position and has the knowledge to take care of his stock, will advance cattle, sheep and hogs up to the value of 11,000 on a loan basis, so as to enable the settler to get started from the first on the right methods of mlxe d farm lug.

to remunerate the caretaker. To farmer* having quantities of feed on hand, the Company furnishes cattle, hogs and sheep at cost, making mutually satisfactory terms of payment. In conjunction with the provincial departments of agriculture, the Company runs agricultural demonstration trains, through the Prairie Provinces; the trains are in charge of experts, and lectures and demonstrations are glve*n at central points. At some of its farms the Company has installed creameries, paying the highest cash' price for milk brought in by farmers, and turning back the skim milk for feeding purposes. At certain points the Company has established egg circles, taking all eggs brought in by farmers, and paying cash for them. The Company is interesting itself in the formation of circles for the 00-operative breeding, care, feeding and marketing of live stock. MIXED FARMING YIELDS GREATEST PROFITS The above is but a brief resume of some of the paternal policies by which the Canadian Pacific Railway betters the lot of settlers. Even a casual perusal of them will show the reader that all efforts are being made to direct the agricultural activities of Western Canadian farmers toward a safe and sane system of mixed farming. Time and again it has been proven that such a system returns the greatest profits—and in what country or district could such a system be more profitable than in Western Canada? Here grains, roots, grasses, vegetables, horses, cattle, sheep, hogs and poultry all flourish and add to the far-

HELPS TO SETTLERS, EXPERT ADVICE, PRIZE COMPETITIONS. The Canadian Pacific Railway does not lose interest in the settler when he has purchased land and settled thereon. The Company will supply the new-comer with seed of proved quality at Cost prices, and, through its agricultural branch, will assist him to get the right kind of a start. At all times, experts of long experience in all branches of husbandry are at his command; market experts stand ready to advise him of the best methods for disposing of his produce. The Company has under process of development demonstration farms at various pointß throughout the Prairie Provinces; these will be operated on a mixed farming system, and full accounts kept. The practical experts in charge of these farms are expected to make them pay; were this not so, little of real value would be demonstrated. The books are open for inspection, an A the farm manager is always ready to give aid and advice. The Agricultural and Animal Industry Branch and other branches are constantly carrying on competitions which are not only valuable for purposes of demonstration, but afford progressive farmers opportunity to acquire cash prizes. Among these are steerfeeding oomp&itlons for farmers’ sons, competitions toW raising the best wind-breaks, alfalfa culture. At various central points the Company will place high-grade bulls for service, the only charge being a negligible one which will go
