30. Would the time I was away working for a neighbour, or on the railway, or other work count as time on my homestead?
Only actual residence on your homestead will count, and you must reside on homestead six months in each of three years.
31. Is it permissible to reside with brother, who has filed on adjoining land?
A homesteader may reside with father, mother, son, daughter, brother, or sister on farming land owned solely by him or her, not less than 80 acres, or upon homestead entered for by him or her not more than nine miles from entrant's homestead. Fifty acres of homestead must be brought under cultivation, instead of 30 acres, as is the case when there is direct residence.
32. How shall I know what to do or where to go when I reach there?
Make a careful study of this pamphlet and decide in a general way on the district in which you wish to settle. Then put yourself in communication with your nearest Canadian Government Agent, whose name appears on the second page of cover. At Winnipeg, and in the offices of any of the Dominion Lands Agents in Central Canada, are maps showing vacant lands. Having decided on the district where you will make your home, the services of a competent land guide may be secured to assist in locating.
33. What is the best way to get there?
Write your nearest Canadian Government Agent for routes, and settlers' low railway rate certificate good from the Canadian boundary to destination for passengers and freight.
34. How much baggage will I be allowed on the Canadian railways?
150 pounds for each full ticket.
