......The following information will be of
service to intending settlers in Manitoba:
Canadian -made machinery, &c., can be
purchased in Winnipeg at or about the
prices indicated., Combined reapers and
mowers $190; reapers, $170; mowers,
$90;tenlorse power threshing machines,
$500; heavy double harness, $30. Can-
adian plows are useless for breaking. The
most approved breaking plow is manufac-
tured in the United States, has polished
steel mould -board and land -side and re-
volving colter, long beam but stout,near-
li upright handles, and sells here for
from $25 to $30. Canadian lumber wag-
ons are not adapted to the country being
to heavy. American western -made wag-
ons are the moat serviceable, which sell
here from $80 to $90. One good yoke of
-
oxen will break prairie but two are more
preferable for the work. On all farming
machinery imported from the United
States a duty of 17i per cent. is charged.
No duty is collectable on tianything
brought from any part of Canada, but it
has to pass through the United States in
bond. Good farm teams are worth front
$300 to $400. It is far more economical
for settlers -to bay all kinds of farming
machinery and. implements, wagons,
stoves, &c., and all such supplies after
their arrival in Manitoba, than to buy in
Ontario and bring through with them as
dealers and agents get much lower freight
rates on account of the large quantities
they import, than it is possible for immi-
grants to obtain on solitary articles, and
competitibn is now so keen that only
reasonable profits are sought to be ob-
tained. I
