To the British emigrant, Prince Edward Island oflfers many of the advantages of the Old Land with the freedom of the New. He will find here a healthy climate, a plentiful supply of good water, great fertility of soil, light taxes, convenience of settlement, whereby the ruinous expenses which are sometimes incurred by having to travel hundreds of miles, after landing, to a place of location, are avoided; and he has a certain remuneration for his agricultural labours by a sure market, and a fair price for all the surplus produce of his farm. He is always near harbours affording cheap water carriage, and he avoids the expense of long hauls on great railways.

There are also openings for a limited number of agricul- tural labourers to take employment on the farms of the province, with a View of acquainting themselves with the system of agriculture prevailing here, and of eventually purchasing land of their own. A number who have recently arrived from the Old Country have readily obtained employment at liberal wages.

Shortly, the advantages of Prince Edward Island to the immigrant may be stated as follows :

It is more like the Old Land than any other part of Canada.

It is settled by old stock—English, Irish and Scotch.

It is the cheapest part of the Dominion to live in.

It is at the Front Door of Canada with direct steamships to England, Boston, New York, the West Indies, and all parts of the world.

It has all modern advantages and comforts.

There are opportunities to acquire improved holdings of land. It has a fine climate, normal, never excessive heat nor

excessive cold. 18
