*< D has come out, and is staying on the same farm as 



myself. He is a very nice fellow, and we get on very well. S -'s 



farm is about the best round here, and, as far as I can see, we 

 both have had good luck to come here." • 



K. S., March 5th, 1882 : 



" I like the place very much indeed. The farmer and his wife Kentucky, 

 are very kind to me. I have decided to stay here for twelve 

 months. I like the work, what little I have done. I am very 

 much obliged to you for choosing me such a comfortable home." 



T. C, son of Mrs. C, quoted above, March 31st, 1882 : 



*' I am quite satisfied with the way I have been treated since Wisconsin 



I have been on Mr. C 's farm, and shall be very willing to stay 



during the rest" of the year upon the terms arranged I 



have already been here nine weeks."'

Again,. February 28th, 1883 : 



"I have been kindly treated by the Messrs. P . I have 



learnt to do everything that is required in farming, under their 

 tuition, and will regret to leave the hospitable roof which has 

 sheltered ma during the first year of my experience in farming. It 

 is with pleasure I can say that your idea of sending young men out 

 to America is a good one, for there is nothing better for a young 

 man than to breathe the pure, fresh, country air, and join in the 

 healthful exercise of the farm, provided he is willing to work."

 satisfied with the farnj I am on, and shall stay on the same for a 

 year."
