farm Of nearly 1000 acres. She was
born In St Paul and for some years
was well known as a stenographic re
porter. Shortly before leaving for
Canada she moved 70 a Wisconsin
farm. Here she became interested in
farming. She longed 70 get out on the
western prairies. so with what capital
she POSSESSED she took what she calls

ings on Canadian land
What she did, she persists, many
girl now working on a small salary

brother. she went into the country,
purchasing supplies in a blind way
ftr she knew little about farming
She is now classed as one OF the large
grain growers IN the vicinity Of Moose

From small beginnings her land
possessions grew. AT FIRST It was 40
miles 10 the nearest railway station.
II was waiting game, but the market
came. as It must inevitably come to a
fertile country, and now what was
once the frontier has a station within
easy hailing distance. Miss Hill

ment The barns have cemented al.

the busy season.
Miss Hillman is the real head. She
rides about her farm and knows what
she is doing Her system Of farm ac'
counts shows every day where she II
