The former was establislied in the summer of 1888, and tho latter in the spring of 18Ni). Statements are appended summarising tlie position of the families at the end of September, giving the number of acres under cidtivation in wheat, oats, and potatoes, tho number of tons of hay cut in 1890, and the area that has been ])repared for next year. The returns also enumerate the live stock and imj)lemciits in their possession, and the fencing that has l)een erected. Klllariiry Settlement. The following table refers to tho Killarney settlement : — Acres 1 KsliuiMtnl I AviTnf.'<' Yield i (liuslu'ls). K>tiiimU'il Tofal Cn)p (liushtlsl.

The young men in the settlement who have taken \ip the 1(H) acres of land, to which such [lersons iA 18 years and upwards are enti'led nnder the Canadian land regulations, are also making considerable progress ; they liad 225]- acres untler wheat, and 10 acres nnder oats, [n addition 518 tons of hay were secured by the settlei's for winter feed for their stock, and for sale. With regard to the live stock, in addition to tliat supplied on their arrival in the country, and its natural increase, certain of the families have ac(|uired 24 oxen, 25 cows, and I horse, of which 20 oxen and cows must be credit(-d to the younger members. 2,289 acres have been prepared for 1891, an average of over 70 acres per family. It is generally considered that this settlement is in a satisfactory condition, and that its snccess is assured. The settlers appear to have overcome the difhculties aiul trials more or less associated with settlcTnent in a new country, and with entire change of surroundings and of work. We have no hesitation in saying that they will, bei'ore long, be equal to any settlers in the country. Most of the men who have been able to leave their farms, as well as the younger mend)ers of the families, have obtained em])loyQient at good wnges ; and this, in conjunction with the produce of their farms, hasenaV)led them to attain the position they now occupy.

Appendix B. contains extracts from the asoiis fuf leaving their homesteads, the pi'iucipai one being that ihey were doing better at work, as day laboiu'ers, than they could upon liieir land, it is said that tiiey are earning about 7.s. a day, and are likely to be enqdoyed during tho wiutir. The fact has l)een (n'erlooked byileiu that tliey coidd liave carried on the work of their iarms in coniunction with such outs.di' enqiloyment as they might bo able to procure; this would have been greatly to their advantage, considering the limited capital wiih which tla^v started. Tlioy were advised to sow the small area of land ])re|iared in 1>>'.I, ui the following year, with the seed ad\anced to them by the Canadum (lovernment, and to break more of the praifie i'ov cultivation in ls91. Many of the adults would then have been free to take any employment that oil'ei'ed, in the latter part of June, July, and part of August, '■eturniug in timt- to gather their liiiy and other emps, and to jirepare the land for this year, after which there wo»ud have been nothing to prevent their endcavonring to obtain work until the spring. Tin^ continuance, for two or three years of this plan, which is followed by most of tho >uceessful settlers, starting with a small capital, would have ensured rapid progre.S8, and in a few years a more inde])eudent ]ios:tion. The Saltcoats settlement is in two ilivision>;, a few miles distant from each other, one being called "liOlhian " colony and the other '• King " colony. Land was fi!L'cteil for the entire settlement in one district. I.e., that in whic li the former colony is situatiul. Thirty-thice of the families accepted the lands sehcUd foi' them, or other adjoining homesteads, and arc making satisfactory progress, with the exception of five families w ho have gone away.

An endeavour was at once maile nuMsui'( to i to induce the families to return.
