IN WESTERN CANADA.

Delicate In (be Old Honiej Better Health tn tlic New. ■Churehbrldge, Sask., December 1, 1906. .To the Editor —Dear <Sir: I came to this country from the State of-Wisconsin three years ago, ami must say that I am greatly pleased with the outlook in this Western country. For my own part I am entirely satisfied with tlie progress I have made since coming here. I b ave raised excellent crops of grain of all varieties. Last season my wheat averaged 23 bushels of wheat to the acre, oats 60 and barley 40. We had a splendid garden this year, ripening successfully tomatoes, musk melons, water melons, sweet corn, and kindred sorts. The country is well adapted to wheat growing and mixed farming, and to my mind it is the best country under the sun for a man with a family and small means, as it is possible for a man tb commence farming operations with much less capital than is required in the older settled countries. The climate is all that could be desired, being very healthy and invigorating. My wife came out about six months ago, and although inclined to be delicate in the old home, she has enjoyed the best of health since coming here. In short, I am more than satisfied with the land of my adoption, and I dm also satisfied with the laws of the country. Yours very truly, J Signed.) JOHN LAXGDON.
