grass for hay and reaping grain is from four to live shillings per day accord ing to the price of a heat as the greater part of wages here u regu lated by the price of wheat crad ling wheat is a bushel of wheal or its price as above 18th clearing and fencing of land when all the timber is cut off costs twelve dollars per acre so that a field containing five acres would cost sixty dollars but the common cus tom of our township is to cut down no more at first than the timber which is a foot in diameter measured about two feet and a half from the root of the tree and all under that ilse and the rest they birdie and kill with an axe in this state it will pro duce nearly as good a crop as if all were cut down and this only costs six dollars per acre in both cs boarding and lodging included the rest of the timber is cut down by degrees for fencing and firewood etc 19th a good work horse may be had from fifty to lxty dollars good cow from eighteen to twenty lag said grain b from the 20th of jury until the end of august atlh the quantity of wheat to one rre is front a bushel and a peck to m hushel an average crop is from flfleea to twentylive bushels per acre respecting pasture as the

gain two hundred weight by a summers tun in our woods and hot meat will he well flav oured our dairy produce is of an excellent quality butter sells for a shilling per pound cheese ihe price 2cu the ordinary co of crop ping on new land is wheat the first year harrowed la and so a crop of oats are harrowed in in the spring on the tauhble then it is sown down with timothy or clover or both together and is used for meadow for three or four years till the roots rot in the ground and then plowed up after which buckwheat or pears are generally sown first and then wheat perhaps the same season and then peas or buckwheat or oats and then wheat and so on alternately little or no manure is used but new land and orchards require it most 37th land is frequently let on the shares on the following terms if new ihe leasor finds the leasee in terms in boarding in fanning utensils and in half the seed and then receives onehalf the produce if old and the leasee finds eveiythlng the feasor has onethird of the produce if the feasor finds everything the l has only onethird of produce enough of land can be had in either of these ways 28th land at the first settling of our township sold for x1js0 per acre it now sells for four to five dollars i per acre also a farm of two hundred price that poor people are not able to buy them again there are many of these getulecnen gone out of the province- so that there is no oppor tunity to buy ffeom litem so it still tains a wilderness and the poor people who are settled round such tracts have toads to make and every other public duly to perform at thelr own expense which greatly enhances the valuel of such land to the great injury of inhabitants another hindrance respecting our township it that a great number of lots are reserved for the crown and the clergy and notwithstanding that these lots might be rented for twenty- one years for a very small sum of money yet the land in this province has hitherto been so plenty and cheap lhat no one cares for renting land who can have it in free sim bet ll is lhat ihe great number of them still remain unsettled but when set tiers become numerous this evil will soon be done away what in our opinion would con tribute to the improvement of our township and ihe province at large would be to encourage men of lrop- erty into the country to purchase ihe waste lands of our province which if sold even at a moderate price would introduce such a flow of capital into our province as would not only en courage m respectable race of settlers of every description to come in and to support

in this mechanical age there ai farms on which the horse is one off the most neglected animals horse blankets are almost un and the curry comb and brush have long since sdlsbpoared about the only redeeming feature on aome farms is that the horses are allowed to run out so they have the opportunity at feast partially to take care of them selves yet the horse is still one off the most valuable sources of farm power proper nourislunent is ex tremely important to the horses well- being and la one off the three essent ials in maintaining the health of the horse the second essential la that when a horse is not working he should be given the run of the pasture or a lot large enough to afford ample evercise the third is lhat the horse should have a good elter to protect against severe wind

in the customary way may be had for fifteen hundred dol lars if frame buildings are upon it a greater price but seldom in pro portion to the buildings 29th the quantity of land for sale we cannot justly describe but we suppose three or four thousand acres and there are but few farmers in our township who would not even sell their improved farms if they had the offer of a good price 30th the state of the public roads at present is but indifferent but they are capable of improvement at a very moderate expense as the face of our country is generally level great improvements might be made by means of canals and locks res pecting our navigation we are situ ated on the coast of lake ontario and thence have the benefit of all the adjoining waters besides we have two very fine streams called the twelve and the sixteen mile creeks these can be made navigable waters for boats home part of the year four miles from the mouth to com municate with our mills on dundas street the mouth of the sixteen where it emptier into lake ontario is navigable for vessels of a consider able hunhn and forms a safe and commodious harbour 31st the call which retard the improvement of our township and the province at larpo are various the firt and principal cause you have already very justly observed that is the want of capital this rna perhaps be best illustrated by the facts know then that the great er number of our farmers when ihey first settle in ihe wild woods have little more property than a cow a yoke of oen a log chain and an axe and mmt have little or no property at all but their axe alone the fam ily generally consists of a man and his wife and a number of young children unable to hire hands the whole of the labour naturally devel ops upon the man and hence it is for six or seven years till such time as the roots or the timber begin to rot in the ground so that he can use the plough- and until the oldest of his children grow up to help him his toil is incessant four or five acres is all that he ts able to clear and sow in a season and that is generally put in so late that it pro duces but little so that the whole of his crop will scarcely support him through the year but many times he ha to work out for part of his bread clothes he must have for himself and his family and these must be got out of the store and merchant goods are very dear in this province and as he hath nothing to pay wltb he is obliged to go on credit these in a few years soon run up high so that a chartered bank is for your business these ten competing banks are bonk of montreal the bank off
