THE CALL OF THE CANADIAN
WEST,

The Greatest Wheat Crop of the
Continent.
The year that has just closed has
done great deal towards showing the
possibilities of Western Canada from
an agricultural standpoint. The wheat
crop has run very near to the 100000
000-bushel limit that was looked upon
as too sanguine an estimate only
short time ago, and the area that has
been broken to fall wheat for the COM
ing harvest will go long way to-
wards enabling the farmers of the
West to overlap on the 100,OO0,OOO-
bushel estimate next year. And while
the spring and winter wheat have
been doing so well during the past few
years the other cereals have been keep
ing up with the procession. Rye and
barley have made immense strides, and
peas and fax have been moving stead
lily along. Dairying also has been sue
cessfully carried on in the new prov
inces, and in every stage the farmer
has been striking it rich" To such an
extent has the success of the West
taken hold of outsiders that the rush
of Americans to Saskatchewan and
Alberta, which was looked upon as
marvellous last year. bids fair to be
largely exceeded in 1906, and as there
are still millions of acres of free home
steads available, which the building of
the new railways will render accessi-
BILE to the markets, new wheat lands
will be opened up ere long. Amongst
the first to avail himself Of the oppOr-
tunity presented will be the American
settler. In a large number Of Ameri-
can cities Dominion government
agents are located, who are able and
willing to give the latest and best in
formation in regard to the new dis
tricts which the railways will open up,
and there will be no abatement Of the
rush to the Canadian prairies during
the coming season. Some time since
q poet in the columns of the Toronto
Star" had the following stirring lines,
which throb of the Western spirit:

Pharisees Wanted.

A rural colonial parson, finding great
difficulty in paying his way owing to
the lack Of punctuality with which
his flock paid their tithes, recently hit
upon an excellent plan for giving back
.siiders a gentle hint. Taking as the
text Of his sermon the story of the
publican and the Pharisee, he read out,
Two men went up into the temple
to pray; the one a Pharisee and the
OTHER a publican. The Pharisee stood
and prayed thus with himself, God,
I thank Thee that l am not as other
men are l fast twice in the
week, l give tithes of all that / pos
sess.'" Here the parson paused Gig
nificantly, and looking hard at his
flock, remarked, Il could do with a
few Pharisees in this congregation"

and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1s43 she married Isaac Pinkham,
q builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and q
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in a physician only in specially
urgent cases. By tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained a won
derfu1 knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs Pinkham took a great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; so, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi-
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief of these was rare combina-
ton of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu-
liar to the female sex, and Lydia E. Pink
hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with
out money and without price, as a
labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, so when the Centen-
NAL year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound was made known
TO the world.
The three sons and the daughter,
with their mother, combined forces to
