Toronto, Nov. l0.-The World
comments on the report Of the United
Empire trade league on the capacity
OF Canada as a granary for Britain.
The report refers to Manitoba as fol-
lows: Manitoba has an area OF forty
seven millions acres. Deducting ten
million for lakes, rivers, town sites and
waste land, 81, 000, 900 acres are left for
farm cultivation, or homes for 116, 900
families on 800 acres each, and as up
to now there are only $1,000 farmers
there altogether, that leaves room in
one province for S9,008 more wheat
growers Surprising, then. we got
them there and each one Of them out
OF his $50 acres grew on an average
100 acres at 20 bushels to the acre; if
you figure 1t up you will find tits quite
possible for Manitoba alone to supply
us with all the wheat we require from
abroad. It is only question of money
and comparatively speaking not money
either. The cost Of one first-class bat
1tleship (about f750, 000) would put 5000
families onto farms in the Northwest,
allowing ESQ to each to find them in
implements, seeds, horses, ETC., and
would keep them until their first crop
was harvested. Five thousand farm
sers, averaging 100 acres Of wheat each
at 20 bushels to the acre, means an ex-
ira 10.0O0,000 bushels, for if that
scheme Is not liked Britain would put
. duty on foreign wheat. In addition
to the wheat lands Of Manitoba there
are the millions Of acres In Assiniboia,
Alberta and Saskatchewan.

CHAPTER w

HuDy mas now been the SelI-cOnStl-
tuted instructress Of Bob and Meg for
nearly a month. The novelty of her
voluntary task ha" worn of; the chill
dren too have tak..4t off that feeling Of
restraint and shyness which caused
them in the beginning to sit
like little models Of patience
during the two hours devoted
to lessons. They have now be-
gun to realize the fact that their lib
erty is restricted during the morning
visits to the Wilderness, and both are
beginning to regard their disinterested
benefactress simply in the light of a
jailer. Ruby possesses none OF those
qualities so essentially necessary to
win childish hearts-she has no pa,
thence, no tact, and not an atom of
real sympathy for her young charges.
One bright June morning Bob is la
boriously forming some strange HERO
glyphics supposed to represent pot
hooks in very blotted and limpy copy
book, whilst poor little Meg, with an
ominous culver of her lips, is stand
ing with her hands behind her in front
of Ruby, vainly seeking in her passive
little brain for the answer to the oft
repeated question '..., ~
"Now, Meg-wake UP, and tell me,
like good little child, what is three
times four" rs
"Tree times four-tree times four"
repeats Meg drearily-so often has the
same question been put in the same
words that it conveys no meaning to
her childish: reason. Ruby has a way
of scanning the morning news whilst
she carries on her monotonous string
Of questions, so that her face is COM
pletely hidden from her poor little VIC
tim.
"Yes-three times four, You will
stand there until you tell me, you know
very well,' persists Ruby in tones of
stern reproach. ....
This seems such an exceedingly
dreary prospect to poor Meg that her
two little fat fists are thrust suddenly
into her eyes, and she breaks into 4
dismal howl. .. F.
II say-you Miss Wilden-you just
stop bullying our Meg cries Bob, sud
denly turning round on his high perch,
from which he cannot descend unaided,
and regarding Ruby with angry eyes
and a very red face. "a
''You rude little boy" says Ruby,
throwing down her paper in surprise,
and regarding the young rebel with a
naughty stare; "go to your copy at

Meg is a naughty, naughty girl, and
