summer it is cleared ; in the fall wheat is sown on it ; the 

 next spring it is put into grass, and the second summer a 

 crop of wheat is taken from it, leaving it under grass. 



This process is continued from year to year, until the 

 whole farm is brought under cultivation. 



In a year or two the stumps that remain should be set 

 fire to, in a dry time in autumn, to hasten their decay. 

 If any young twigs shoot out from them, cut them off at 

 once. Keep everything tidy ; the fences in good order, 

 and the greensward from being too much trampled on, 

 either by man or beast. 



Mr. Widder, the gentlemanly commissioner of the Ca- 

 nada Company, in Toronto, has politely furnished us with 

 the following estimate of the first three years outlay and 

 income of a settler in Canada West. It will be valuable 

 for those removing to that beautiful province : 



Cost of clearing 10 acres of heavy timbered land, in the usual Ca- 

 nadian fashion, with an estimate of the crops to be produced therefrom 

 during the first three years after clearing :

The value of the straw, tailing, wheat hulls, etc. 

 on the farm, are supposed to be equal to the 

 threshing and cartage to the barn.
