FRIENDLY ADVICE » 



seen so many fresh arrivals do. A little geniality 

 and bonhomie go farther than you would imagine 

 when you are trying to " hit a job." The " Canuck," 

 as a rule, is a good-hearted soul, and will often go 

 out of his way to do a good turn to the " greeny " 

 looking for work. 



When you have been taken on as hired man, too, 

 and are told to do a job in a particular way by your 

 employer (although you may have had some previous 

 experience of the manner in which it is done at 

 home), carry out his wishes to the letter, without 

 question. You will find in the end that his is 

 usually the best method to suit the exigencies of 

 the climate or other varying conditions that have 

 not to be taken into consideration here. 



Do not be afraid of asking your employer intelli- 

 gent questions, which may bear upon your work 

 with him, or the plans for your own projected ranch. 

 He will readily give you what assistance he can if 

 you have made yourself valuable to him, and will 

 always allow you to run any young stock you may 

 buy out of your savings at odd times, as opportunity 

 offers, with his own herd (properly branded with 

 your own irons, free of charge) until you have built 

 your own place, and the beasts can be transferred 

 to their new range.
