Excerpt from Ontario as a Home for the British Tenant Farmer Who Desires to Become His Own Landlord The Dominion of Canada offers to the surplus population of the British Isles ample opportunities for the betterment of their condition in various walks of enterprise and industry, and its several Provinces possess diverse attractions as well as many features in common. When, therefore, the intending emigrant has decided to make his future home in Canada, the question arises as to which locality within its vast domain he should betake himself. The choice depends upon so many contingencies that each one must determine it according to his own circumstances and predilections, but the facts set forth in the following pages prove that for the tenant farmers, farm labourers and all who desire to devote themselves to agricultural industry, and transfer their energies and (those who have it) their capital to the New World, there are many special advantages offered by the Province of Ontario. In this Province substantial wealth, or a reasonable competency, is within the reach of every industrious man whose efforts are intelligently directed. The penniless pioneer of a few years ago is the substantial, independent farmer of to-day. The uplifting of the people in social and material comfort is a process as visibly going on from year to year as the revolution of the seasons. Its progress is recorded in the annual advance in the value of accumulated property, in the increase of trade, in the establishment and development of religious, educational and benevolent institutions, in the spread of social refinement, in the cultivation of the sciences, in the appliance of every art that ministers to the happiness of human life. Nor are these conditions the result of long and painful evolution, taking generations for their development. The young man with no capital, if possessing only an average knowledge of agricultural labour, and devoting himself earnestly to work, may, with the exercise of reasonable economy, realize a competence by the time he has reached middle life', and the man who is a practical farmer and the possessor of means sufficient to stock an average English farm, can at once begin life in Ontario as his own landlord, with every assurance of a prosperous career before him.
