TENDERFEET< WIN
WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
HILL AND SONS, THE DAT CHAM
PIONS, ARE cockNEYS BORN
AND BRED.

City-bred in the worlds greatest
metropolis and unframed as to things
agricultural, were j. G. Hill and his
three boys when they settled on home
steads at Lloydminster, in the Prov.
ince of Saskatchewan (western Can
ada), eight years ago. Today they
are the recognized champion oat grow
ers of the North American continent,
having won twice in succession the
silver challenge cup, valued at 81 500.
at the Fifth National Corn exposition,
Columbia, S. c. The Plate, officially
known as the Colorado Dat trophy, is
emblematic of the grand champion
ship prize for the best bushel of oats
exhibited by individual farmers or ex-
pertinent farms at these expositions-
The Hill entry won this year in the
face of the keenest competition, hun
dreds of exhibits being sent by expe-
rienced farmers from all parts of the
United States and Canada The oats
were grown on land which was wild
prairie less than four years ago.
When Mr.. Hill and his three sons,
who probably never saw wider acre
age than the hills of Hampstead
Heath, or the parks of London, came
to Saskatchewan eight years ago, they
had little more capital than was re-
quired for homestead entry fees. They
fled on four homesteads, in the Lloyd
minister district, which straddles the
boundary of Alberta and Saskatche-
wan They went to work with will,
ripping the rich brown sod with break
ing plows and put in a crop, which
yielded fair returns.
They 1abored early and late and de
MED themselves paltry pleasures, glad
to stand the gait for while in rising
to their possibilities. They talked with
successful farmers and studied crops
and conditions and profited by both.
The new life on the farm was strange
but they never lost heart, handicapped
as they were by lack of experience
and capital.
The farm house, modern in every
respect, compares favorably with any
residence in the city. The Hills have
substantial bank accounts and their
credit is gilt-edge from Edmonton to
Winnipeg and beyond.
There is nothing secret about our
methods nor is our plan copyrighted.
We first made thorough study of
climatic conditions, soil and seed"
said Mr.. Hill. 1--WE tended our crops
carefully and gradually added live
stock, realizing from the beginning
that mixed farming would pay larger
and more certain returns than straight
grain growing. We have demonstrated
that fact to our satisfaction and the
result is that many of the farmers in
the district are following our exam
pie"
The land that the Hills work is of
the same class as may be found any
where in Manitoba, Saskatchewan or
A1berta.-Advertsep

The switched train stood stalled

quickly that a connection was brok-
en-. The train hands were trying to
adjust this now The passengers,
startled and curious, had come from
the coaches. Ralph observed group
OF them now surrounding the conduc-
tor. He pointed at Ralph, and from
the actions of the group the latter
knew that they were discussing him.
Being a modest young man, he
walked down the track to find the
scissors beside it where the wheels
of the great steam giant had welded
the two pins. Ralph could not very
well evade a group which met him
They congratulated him on his action
in saving the train One among them,
a bright-eyed miss, plainly indicated
in her grateful glance that she consid-
cred him something of hero. When
the train was ready to start up, by
chance, it seemed, she found a seat
beside him
That must be a cherished SOU

the baby scissors in Ralph's hand.
