OUTFIT 3 



and should be purchased on this side of the Atlantic 

 if economy is a consideration, Ukewise a good-sized 

 waterproof ground-sheet, which will be found most 

 useful to take on " round-ups," and for camping 

 purposes generally. Both pipes and razors are very 

 dear in Canada, so do not forget to furnish yourself 

 with these before sailing, should you require them. 

 You will find a small assorted medicine-chest come 

 in handy on occasions. If you have a shot-gun, by 

 aU means take it, but do not buy a new one before 

 starting on the voyage, or you wiU be charged duty 

 for it by the Customs on landing. A good horse- 

 bridle, reins, and bit, too, it would be quite worth 

 while to include amongst your baggage, as I have 

 found them superior to those of " Canuck " manu- 

 facture, and very much cheaper. 



Remember that all articles which you take into 

 Canada go through as " settler's effects," free of 

 duty, provided you can prove that you have had them 

 in use during the previous six months. The Customs 

 officials are not ultra-particular in enforcing this 

 law, I am happy to say, which redounds to their 

 credit, for in a highly protected, and consequently 

 prosperous, country like the Dominion a large sum 

 annually must be lost to the revenue in this way, 

 but they get the settler, and that is what they want 

 more particularly.
