TO THE FARMERS:
Since the date of our last advertisement to
you we have sold 1100 acres of land, and being
all the land held by us in behalf of the various
Loan Companies we represent, except the
Shaw farm of 200 acres in Kinloss, and which
we are offering very cheap and on very easy
terms of payment.
Several farmers have, however, placed
their farms in our hands for sale, so that we
hope to be able to spply th,e bulk of the
demand for farms as heretofore. But as our
sales exceeded 1000 acres last spring, we would
request those in wort of a cheap farm to apply
early, as the spring time will now soon be
here. We can grant very reasonable terms of
payment for all our sales and a low rate of
interest,
If you wish to renew or change you mort-
gage, or put a new mortgage on your farm, or
send money away in payment of the interest
or principal of your mortgage, we can guaran-
tee you satisfaction and at a very trifling
:pense.
We lend money on farmers' notes fer long
or short time, and can supply all demands on
reasonable terms, Sale notes specialty,
We do a general banking business of all
kinds with 1Vierchanta, ,,attle' Dealers,
Shippers and Farmers.

ST. PATRICK'S DAY.
" ThDugh centuries still have departed,
Ani vanished like visions away.
The sons of the soil, simple hearted,
Still honor St. Patrick's day.
On St. Patrick's day in the morning,
The Shamrock fresh culled maybe seen,
Bold hearts and fair bosoms adorning,
Baptized in its native poteen.
And wherever God's sun lights the people,
Wherever men breathe his sweet air,
Or worship 'neath palm tree or steeple,
Some " Exile of Erin "is there.
And though bad they may be— and lonely,
He wears next the cross of his God,
On his heart the dear shamrock that only
Can bloom en fair Erin's green sod.
• The shamrock of Erin we honor.?
• And love just as dear as our life ;
No tyrant will stamp it out ever,
With battle axe, sword, or the knife;
Our noble green emblem we cherish,
Can e'er with our shamrock depart,
Our native soil stili shall it nourish
Ever green, to an Irishman's heart,
England can boast of its sweet scented rose,
And Scotland vyith its thistle agree;
Green leek of Wales, with pungent o'erflowa,
But the meek little shamrock for me.
The leaf of the maple for ever,
That Mats o'er the land of the free;
From dear little shamrock can't sever,
We will wear it, St. Patrick's day.
Wonder through earth's great commotion,
• O'er land or the turbulent sea ;
You'll find an Irishman's devotion,
Wherever that "Exile "may be:
His heart in his country of sorrow,
• Although absenthis body afar,
E'en dreaming bright dawn of the morrow
Shall shiue on that emerald' star./
E're long the dawn will yet brighten,
Lasting peace, with prosperity smile,
That burden of turmoil will lighten
Sad hearts, of our Emerald Iele
Dear land of our sires we reverence,
Though our heads are now turned gray,
We'll pray from all bigot deliverence, ,
Our shamrock—St. Patrick's day, _

-er HE FAULK COUNTY OPiNION
To W. A. Webster Esq
And Cap. A. F. Holmes.
Canadian Emigration Agents.
Aberdeen, S. D.
GENTLEMEN;—Having heard a great
deal in regard , to the North-West
rePresented by you and having lived
for the past nine years in Faulk county
S. Dakota, I decided to go to that
country and investigate it with a view
to settle there if ,suited and to give
the benefit of my investigations to my
neighbors who with me have lost their
labor in trying to raise crops in this
'state.
The following is the result, which
can be relied on, and it is true in every
particular.
I left Aberdeen on the morning of
the 10th of September, arriving in
Winnipeg on the 11th ndiere I stayed
over a few hours • to see that magnifi-
eient city of 25,000 people, and arrived
at Yorktown, the present terminus of
• the Man. aud Northvvesthrn R. R. on
Saturday night.
At this point I got a team, and drove
out to the Dakota Colony a distanee of
40 miles' through a first class country
for mixed farming, and got there on
Sunday evening. •
Here 1 found a settlement of son]
200 people all from the vicinity 9
Aberdeen; they_left there gen the 24t
of April last and are now settled i
vieinity of "Sheho Lake" having each
more or less acres in crop or sod broke
this spring, with a good prospect • o
40 to 60 of oats to the acre, 300 t� 400
bushels ot potatoes and turnips vvhicli
wili go thirty tons to the acre.
I found the settlers all prosperous
• every one having a good log house and
out buildings plenty of hay, which
runs on the prairie one and a half, to
two tons per acre and in. the natural
meadows three to four tons and ail
gdt from, their own lands or immed-
iate vicinity:
I spent four days in the settlement
and looked over the ,eight townships
set apart for the South Dakota colony.
And without exageration' must say
the best tract of landfor mixed
farming, I have ever seen since left
the State of New York.
Every quarter • contains from ten to
twenty five acres of young timber,
from five, to i,fifteen acres of natural
hay meadow, first class water in abun-
dance either from • lakes or spring
creeks or :by digging from 10 to 30
feet and the soil is rich beyond belief
having a average depth of • 14 to 20
inches of rich black loatu on a clay
subsoil.
. I brought some potatoes 'with me
which were -planted by chopping a hole
in the sod in the last week a, May,
and which will weigh over two pounds
each.
I saw the finest vegetables I ever
saw in my life. Corn, tomatoes, tur-
nips, celery, peas, cabbage, and in
fact all kinds of garden stuff are
simply wonderfnl. They nitaat be seen
to be properly ,appreciated.
Cattle bring big prices as compared
to what they fetch here. I saw three
year old steers and heifers which sold
at four arid a half cents 'per pound on
the hoof, and weighed from twelve to
fifteen hundred pounds each. Good
cows are worth forty to fifty dollars
each, and hogs are svorth six to seven
cents a lb. Horses weighing thirteen
to fourteen hundred pounds each are
worth two hundred aod fifty dollars if
sound and not 3ver 8,years.
A
In conclusion, having been delegated
• by my neighbors to see the Canadian
North-west, and report things as I
saw them, I shall close this by saying,
f- have no intention of booming the
country. I do not intend to convey •
the impressir,--N l'at a man can go there

who do not) he may expect frozen.,
grain. But this I do state Without fear
of contradiction, that a man can go to
that country with a good team either
oxen or horses, five or six cows and a,
few head of young stock, and with
good health and half the labor he is
obliged to perform in. South Dakota,
he can be a rich man Within the next
ten years.
This may seem like a big statement,
but so far from exagerating, I have
not told them half of what I saw. It
is truly a wonderful country, and
when the rai:road is completed next ,
year. I do not believe a section of
governmeut land can be obtained
within 20 miles of the road.
I remain Gentlemen.
Yours very truly.,
B. F. Horton.
P. S. I should not close this with-
out thanking you . for the courtsey
extended to me in passing from Win-
nipeg to the settlement and return
and also asking you to thank Mr.
Campbell, the Dominion Emigration
agent on my behalf as through his
kindness, I had a very pleasant trip.

To Mr. W. A, Webster Immigration
Agent, Aberdeen S. Dakota, Nov.
30th. 1851.
DEAR Sm.—We recently returned
from. the Canadian North-West where
,we spent a month in examining the
agricultural resources of thut country.
We found Winnipeg a splendid_ Qity,
full of life and business. •From here.
we went west to Prince Albert, 600
miles. This town is situated on the
Saskatchewan rives rnd contains 1,100
inhabitants, Schools, Collezes, Chur-
ches, Saw -Mills, in fact well eqipped
in everything required to make up a
good sustantial town. Steambo ats
ran on the river any aniount of logs
rafted clown this river and sawn hack
lumber at the Prince Albert Mills,
giving lots of employment, both winter
and summer; luniber here is cheap.
After driving over as much of this dis-
tacit as tiine permitted we pronounced
- it a first class country for mixed forming'
and a stockman's paradise. 11enty of
timber for all purposes, water, rivers.
lakes and spring creeks, no limit to
hay and grass. From hete we went
west to Edmonton, we examined this
district thoroughly. After driving'
-oyer it, for severai days, and visiting a
number of farmers and stockmen; we
pronnunce this the best ,country we
ever saw, for mixed farming and
especially for stock raising. "Stock-
men here are all making money.
Steers selling for four cents when we
can enly get from one to two cents in
South Dakota. Taxes are very low,:
There is yet lots of Honiestead land
Where any nian over eighteen can
take up a quarter section, timber, •
water, coal, hay and grass without
limit, good laws good" society. We
know that "this is just the place for
men to make homes and where indus-
try will meet a certain reward. In
conclusion we tell ,our friends it, •
South Dakota that are not Satisfied
with their success there, that if they
a() to either Prince Albert or -Edmon-
ton and go into either mixed farming
or stcok raising we believe there is no
place on this continent where success
is as likely to crown their efiortsy We
find a- great many very anxious to go
to Northern Alberta but the great
draw back seems to be the cost of getting
there. We cannot close this letter
without thanking you for your many
kindnessess and also Mr. G. II., Camp-
bell for his many courtesies while In
Winnipeg. Mr, L. A. Hamilton, of
the Q. P. R. Railway for passing us
over his splendid road and Mr. Combs
of Prince Albert for his many favors
while there.
