SELECT FARMING L^KBS FOR SALE IN MANITOBA. 1-! In tiie following list we offer for stvle about 60,000 acreis of the choibest lands in the Province of Manitoba. They have been selected with great care for the express" puii- pose of being offered to actual settlers, and are either in the viciiiity of Wipmipfeg or in the various prosperous settleibeimts scattered throughout the Province. We can therefore recona*- mend them to thoSe proposing to settle at once upon a fsirm in this Province, as they offer inducements by making spbedy returns for any lal^ur expended upon them. . ' A large quantity of these lands are, even at the present timei, within marketable distance from Winnipeg or the Pembina Branch, C. P. Rl, so that those settling upon therja ca.?i r^achly sell their produce at fair prices. - L It is impossible to obtain desirablie homesteads from phe Government lands, without going over JOO ipil^^ from Wiyjni- peg or the C. P. R. . i' ; By going so far from market, farmers will find it almost, im- possible to dispose of their surplus produce till a railway m^ses their doors which will likely be from four to ten years h6tce. Alexander Begg, Esq., in his " Guide to Manitoba,'' has the following : • ,, . [ "It is our opinion that an immigrant Would be unwise to go far beyond the line of settlement, or to undertake to go to the Saskatchewan in advance of civilization, for the i^ol lowing .Rea- sons : . ■ , J ! i ..•!

In the above we have only given quotations for a few of the principal articles required by a settler, so as to give you an idea of the general cost of goods in Manitoba, and we are of opmion that parties can purchase to better iwlvantage in this Province than to bring their old worn-out effects with them, and pay ^'^if "the^settle^takes any of his effects through with him from the other Provinces, he should make out an 'n™«^-™ '''PJ'' cate-of his mods or animals, go before the Collector ot Cus- toms at or netr his place of departure, and make a declaration St the goods or animals are the manufacture or production of the Domrnion of Canada, or that duty has been paid upon th^ra, tnd the said Collector will then attach his -'^. o *^« '^^d With this invoice he can bond his goods at the hrst Unitea States port he enters, leaving two copies of the invoice with the CoSr of this port, and re°taining the other for the arrival of his goods in Manitoba. .<.-:^, I-'!'! 11' :n l.\v The productions of the farm, including slock, hnri^ t^e fol lowing prices at the present time in Winnipeg :— ^^ ^^ ^, , ^ Horses, span, $200 to $300.

He said that one of the great tides of emigration no^^ was to the Northern Zone, ' specially adapted , to wheat, grow- ing and cattle raiising. That included; Canada, W^soon^n, l/J^ich- igan partiallyj and >i;innesota, but three-fourths of the gfeat wheat producing biilt, of the continent Lay north of the>oun,- dp,ry.

He went on to say 'that he wished' to ^-lludei to that whic^ was also of' very great mo- ment,'the meat supply.

The average price of wheat in England for the thirty years from LS49 to 1H78 was ')38. a (quarter— the highest price being 738. lUl in 1855, and the lowest OOs. 7d. in 1851. At the rate at which settlers are now pouring into the coun-, try all the wheat grown in Manitoba for the next two or three years, until the railways now being constructed are completed, will be required for food and seed. Up to the end of 1878 (the last official returns), upwards ot two millions of acres of land had been taken up by actual set- tlers in Manitoba and the North-West. That quantity is now undoubtedly increased to nearly three millions. GOVERNMENT GRANTS OF LAND. The Government grants homesteads on alternate sections on each side of the railway, of 160 acres free, and lows set- tlers to take up an additional 160 acres on the alternate sec- tions on " pre-emption," at prices ranging from $2.50 to $1 an acre. They also sell lands at prices ranging frcm $5 an acre on the other sections on each side of the railway. HOW TO REACH THE COUNTRY. " The cost of conveyance from any part of Canada to Mani- toba is exceedingly moderate, and the steamers from Great Britain are now so numerous, that the transport of a family from any part of the United Kingdom or from Canada to the ffreat wheat growing and cattle raising districts in the North- West, is hardly appreciable when the advantages offered are considered. ,^ i ^« A continuous line of railway now exists from (Quebec, Mon- treal, Toronto, and indeed every town and village throughout the Dominion, to Winnipeg. An alternative route is offered by railway to Samia or CoUingwood, and then by first class steamers to Duluth at the head of Lake Superior, where direct railway communication exists with Winnipeg. This lake route will be greatly improved as soon as the rail- way now under construction irom Thunder Bay, on Lake Su- ^- ..!• j._ \\r: :^^^ ;« «/vTv>T%lo+orl onrl i.liA pnst and time of con- periur, i(U vt iiim^-cL; io ^-^-ijipiv-w-.j veyance will also be materially lessened.
