 INFORMATION 
 
 fOR INTENDING EMIGRANTS 
 
 ©ss> 
 
 The increr,sing inquiries made to the CANADA COMPANY for infonnation upon 
 Upper Canada from various parts of tlie United Kingdom and the United States, 
 by intending Emigrants, have induced the Company to arrange those questions, and 
 to print them in a form for general circuhition ; believing, that as the data is fur- 
 nished by intelligent and experienced gentlemen, who have readily contributed their 
 assistance, the information herein given, in a succinct form, will prove vorj' tisefnl 
 and interesting, and at the same time form a ready means for the transmission of 
 information from Settlers to their friends at home who may be anxious to join them. 
 
 Query No. 1. — Situation of .he Company's Lands, particularly as to Roads, Navigable 
 Waters, 4fc. ? 
 
 ■~- ■; Ans^RR.— Tho Company have Landi in almost every part of Canada Weat ; they eonaiat of icatteied lota of 200 
 
 '' ' acres each, and of blocks : The principal block, of about 1,000,000 acres, is the Huron District, situated on Lake 
 Huron, wilh a lokc frontage of sixty miles, intersected by two grand leading roads, on which more pains and labour 
 have been bestowed than on any other roads of the same extent and magnitude in the Province. (See account of the 
 Huron District, given in " A Statement of the Satisfactory Results which have attended Emigration to Dppcr Canada," 
 published by Smith h Co., No. 65, Corni IIII, London, 1843. Sec, also, the separate memorandam upon that District, 
 and the Company's Prospectus for this year [184&], which may be had at their Office*.) The other blocks, of from 
 3,000 to 0,000 acres, lie in the Western District, and arc, in most cases, within six to eight miles of navigable water. 
 The roads in the Western District, owing to the proximity of navigable waters, have not hitherto been so closely 
 attended to aa in many other parts of the Province; excellent plank-roads, however, are now in actual progress. The 
 scattered lots contain from 80 to 210 acres each, and are to be met with in almost every Township in the Province, 
 and generally surrounded by settlements. 
 
 Query No. 2. — Price, per Acre, of the Company's Lands ? 
 
 Answer.— The Prices of the Company's I<ands vary considerably, but the following may be considered as near the 
 average, in the several portions of the Province :

 Some few lots in each District may be higher in price than the above quotations. 
 
 Query No. 3. — The Price of Clearing Wild Lands, and how Cleared ? 
 
 Answer.— The clearing of wild land is always to be understood as clearing, fencing, and leaving ready for a crop, 
 in ten-acre fields, the stumps and roots of the trees alone being left to encumber the operations of the farmer. The 
 price variea greatly according to circamitances, but may bo quoted as $10, or £2 10s. currency, in moderately Um- 
 bered land in old settlements, and increasing, according to remoteness of the settlement, to £3 — and even to £4 lOs- 
 per acre : The payment at these prices is always understood to be mode in cash, except a special written bargain to 
 the oontruy la entered into. The plain lands being very thinly timbered, coat leas for clearing, but require a more 
 expenaiTe mode of tillage; although jitaiiu farmers, or those farmers who improve upon that system, geBerslly get ■ 
 return for their labour in a nnch shorter time. Plains are generally sandy, and yield regular, average and certain 
 eropa, without refbreace to the (catoiii. It requires a larger capital to commence operattoni on plain* than on 
 timbered lands.

 QuERT No. 4. — Oeneral Rotation of Crops, and Mode of Putting them into the Ground ? 
 
 Answer. — Ai Wheat (tho bout of Canada) siiccoeda beat on a new rullow (nowly cleared and burnt land boing m 
 called) il in always the firat crop. Fannori with rapital, seed tho flillow down with graaaei, and wait five or aix yean ; 
 but the farmer with limited means, put* tho land into crop the next year either with potatoes or Spring grain ; then 
 follows wheat again, every altcrnato year, until he has power to clear enough new land for his wheat crop each year,— 
 when the old land is laid down in meadow, and otherwise cropped, without much attention to tho usual general rules of 
 good farming, until the stumps rot sufHciontly to admit of the free use of tho plough. The best English and Scotch 
 farmers then adopt the customary three or four field system, or otherwise Wheat and Winter and Summer fallow, each 
 titernato year : Tho first crops are always put in with tho harrow alone. It is, however, almost impossible to speak 
 positively in reply to this ()ucstian, as it seems to be quite a matter of convenience, or perhaps caprice, as to tho manner 
 In which the cultivation shall proceed. Wo have farmers from all parts of Great Britain, Europe, and tho United 
 States, and each person assimilates his practice, as much as possible, to the customs to which he has been used— «r 
 thinks boat for the country. " t^J^

 Q 
 
 Query No. 5. — Produce of Cropt in average years, per Acre ? 
 
 Answer.— The produce, per acre, of all crops varies much from year to yonr in Canada, owing to the late and 
 early frosts. It is, however, generally considered that tho following is a fair average of ten years : — Wheat, ii bushels ; 
 Barley, 30 bushels ; Oats, 40 bushels ; Rye, t]0 bushels ; I'utatocs, SDO buthols, per Acre. — Swedish Turnips, Mangel 
 Wurtzol, and other roots of a similar kind, aro not generally siifiicicntly cultivated to enable an nverngo yield to be 
 given ; but it may very safely be said that, with similar care, culture and attention, the produce will nut bo less per 
 acre than in Engl.id. Flax is soinntimcs cultivated im a xmall scolo fur tho seed ; but iillhuugh ninny parts of tho 
 Provinco are especially well adapted for its extensive and proiitable production, littlo of cither Flax or llcinp is yet 
 grown, although thcro Is little doubt that it soon will attract attention. 
 
 Query No. 6. — Coat of the usttal and necessary Fa^tn Buildings and Furniture ? 
 
 Answer. — A comfortable Log House, 10 feet by £4, two tloors, with shingled roof, jCO ; Log Darn, 'J4 by 40 feol, jCIO; 
 Frame House of saino dimensions, £00; Do. Burn, £70; suilnblu Shedv, be., £iU). Tables, ins. to 17s. Od. ; Stump 
 . Bedsteads, l&s. to 20s. each ; Chnirs, per doxon, £,\ 5s, ; Boilers, Saucepans, Kettles, Knives and Forks, kc. &.C., abi'Ut 
 . So per cent, over tlio usual Sterling retail prices in England. It must bo borno in mind that tho Settler very seldom, 
 spends Monty in erecting his buildings, ^tlioy being generully built by himself, with the assistance of his neighbours, 
 and added to as liis wants and increasing prosperity may from time to time require. Tlio cost of Ilousoliold Furniture, 
 or rather the quantity required, varies with the ideas of almost every family. In most cases, the Household Furniture 
 of a new Settler will not be found to exceed in value £10 ; soniotimos not half that sum, and is often altogether 
 manufactured by tho Settlor himself.

 Query No. 9. — Time when the Frost puts an end to Farming Operatijns, and tihen it leaves 
 the Ground? 
 
 Arswbii.— Tho time of tho setting in of tho Frost, and of its departure, varies in Canada extremely in difibrent 
 years. But no prudent man ought to calculate on being able todo anything in the open field alter tho first of November 
 or before ih^ first day of April. Fodder must bo provided for Cattle sufficient to last till the middle of May, ae 
 tllhough a surplus may bo loft from the early setting in of tlie gpriog ; yet cases have been known of great diitieM 
 pievailing from want of proper attention an this head. 
 
Query No. 10. — Farmers' Avocatims duriui) Wintcv ? 
 
 Ahswm.— Tbo new Hcttlor's avocatiunn durin); ths Winter Monlhi irc genemlly eonlincd to diking rare of hia

 In the Summer, from tho scarcity of labour, all anaist in tho ficlJn, — the child uf even five years old being usefully and 
 healthily employed in somo occupation befitting his ago aiid strength. Amongst too many Canadian rarroeri, however, 
 tho Winter is a season of idlcnoss and enjoyment, a great portion of it being spent in amusement and visiting, to tha 
 manifest neglect of their farms and iinpovorishnicnt of thcinsclvos and families. 
 
 QoERT No. 11. — Wliat iletcripthn of Fruits and Garden Produce does Canada afford f 
 
 Answrr.— All tho Fruits generally found in Kngliiid thrive remarkably well in Canada— but the Plum, Apple 
 (Strawberry, Raspberry, and Melon, attain a luxuriance of growth and perfection unknown in England. Tho Melon 
 planted in Iho opoii ground, in most years, produces exccelloiit cropn. In many places. Vines prosper well. I'eRchee ara 
 indigenous south uf tho paiallol of 13', or if nut absolutely indigenous, grow rapidly from tho stone and bear flruit 
 within a few years, aUhnugh good ami rich Havournl Grapes and I'eachur are seldom met with, owing to their culture 
 being neglected, Tho ssmo ubjcrvatinns npply to nil Uardon produce, which will attain r degree of luxuriance 
 unknown perhaps in Uritain, with fur less rare and oullurc. 
 
 Query No. VI. — Wacics of Male and Female Servant.<>, and Prices of Jolt Work, tuck at 
 Carpenters and other Tradesmen .«* ... . 
 
 Answkr. — Farm Servants per Month, with Iloanl, £1 ; Ditto, without Hoard, £A. Female Servants, jCI per 
 Month, with Hoard, Dny l.-ibuurcrs, '^i, llJ., wi.hout Hoard, Tho Wugos of Carpenters and olhcr Tradesmen vary 
 considerably according to tho ability of tho workman — hoy nil rango, however, between Oj, and 10s. per day, taking 
 those as tho lowest and highest prices. 
 
 Query No. 13. — Taxes paijahle btj the Settlers.'' 
 
 A^swKn,— Great alterations have lately been made in tho Laws relating to Assessments— the whole power being 
 now vostod in tho several District Councils, to impose what Taxes they please, up to n certain limited sum in tho Pound 
 on tho valuation of properly. Kiich Oistiict citcts its own Council, and may llicrolbio bo said to tax itself. All tha 
 Taxes raised by the Council arc expended within the District. It is perhaps useless to go into particulars, aa almost 
 every District varies in the amount of Taxe;) imposed ; but alt the Taxes taken together are cctremcly trilling, an'* to 
 an old countryman, or person from the Uni;uJ States, will scarcely bo fell, being only l}d. in tho Jbl, upon '^ssoased 
 property. 
 
 Query No. 14. — Public OJiees liable to be served by Settlers i 
 
 Answkr. — Kvory Ilousohnldcr is liablo to serve, in tho Township whore ho resides, the following Ofliccs, viz. :— 
 Pound Keeper, Fence Viewer, Rond Master, Township Clerk, Asscspor, Collector, and School Commissioner. Tho 
 Statuto requires District Councillors to possess Froeliold Property of tho vnluo of jCSOO ; Members of Parliament to 
 tho value of jCBOO. Freeholders only nro eligible to vote for Members of the Provincial Parliament for Counties. 
 
 Query No. 15. — Places of Iteliifious Worship and Schools ? ■ ■ 
 
 Answrr, — Places of Religious Worship arc numerous throughout Canada, Somo idea may bo formed of this by 
 stating the fact, that, in tlio Town of Guolpli, there nro seven Churches and Chapels ; in Chatham, W. D., four 
 Churches: both those places aro cum))aratively now sultlcmonts. Aa to Schools— , in Towns and woll-sctllod 
 Localities, Kducation in cheap in the extreme, and good. In tho country and new settlements, so good a selection 
 cannot be mode, but there o.-c few parts of Cannila where a man can bo at a loss to givo his children a decent English 
 Education at a very cheap rate. In tlio new District of Huron, there nro twenty-five places of religious worship' 
 and numerous schools.
