One who has not homesteadedcantakeuphanasec- ing should come out first on a har- vesters’ excursion to look around. It is advisable to see the land before making entry for it. A homestead consists of 160 acres. which is ob- tained from the government almost free of charge. The homesteader first files his application at the depart- ment, then makes entry, paying $10. Then he is given six months to take pay the department for these. If he forfeits his homestead on account of unfulfilled duties, he cannot tskn up another in any province hut British Columbia.

A homesteader seldom has any crop the first year, except perhaps a. few hundred bushels of oats. 2000 bush- els of wheat and 1200 bushels otoats make a. fair average of returns from 150 was after two years or cultivaâ€" tion.
