THE MANY-sIDED FRANKLIN.

BY Prof. w. P. Trent in Forum
Everywhere we touch him he is the
human and therefore the fascinating
FRANKLIN. This statement is, to be
sure, an exaggeration-one OF the sort
at which he would have smiled with
deprecating modesty or else, with a
malicious twinkle of the eye, would
have told an unsavory anecdote with
disseminating results. There were
sides of Franklin's character-wen re-
membered, it would seem, in Phila-
delphia-that were not at all attrac.

paragraph to the 'smudgy traiF' the
factious printer left behind him in the

does not emphasize-that puts Frank.

1t will be seen that the number of
acres sown to wheat, oats and barley
in 1898 was 429, 149, and that this had
increased in 1904 to 1887 1897. The to-
tai crop i'm the cereals mentioned was
9,033, 297 bushels in 1898, and in 1904
it had grown to the magnificent total of
35,413,522. In the year just closed the
forward movement in the agriculture
of the West has been the wonder and
envy of the world. New sections of the
country have been placed under tribute
to the pillow and harrow, and the grain
area has been largely increased. This
is particularly the case where 1t has
been demonstrated that Alberta Red"
winter wheat may be successfully
grown, and along the lines Of the new
railways towards the center of the
country, where mixed farming prevails.
Tfa- future of the Canadian West is
assured, and for years to come Il Is
bound to be the land of promise to the
agriculturist of every nation and OF
every cline. and the land Of opportu-
nifty to every settler within its bounds.

follows that ii must be greatly strength

probably the most important ingredient
of vGolden Medical Discovery" so far
as its marvellous cures of valvular and

minutes scrimmage against the scrub
yesterday afternoon, in which the
varsity used back right and LEFT Tor
ward passes and punts to perfection
and although they were unable to
score, owing to the shortness of time,
distinct reversal of form marked the
'varsity's practice.

done by Leonard at left end and his

to earn him a place on the first team.
