TRAGEDY.

As Eric walked springily down Blag-

humping with happiness, he came face
to face with Mr.. Presbrey. In a twin
king his spirits fell. The sight Of the
excellent gentleman brought him back
to earth. He had been in heaven for
two hours or more. Strange, that a
minister of the gospel should snatch
one out of heaven and restore him to
the sinful earth so rudely. but that Is
precisely what happened. Seeing Mr..
Presbrey just hen vas like taking a
sudden, unexpected plunge into icy wa
ter. Beautiful, warm visits OF delight
faded away, and in their place stretched
all the ugly, unkind scene he had man
aged to forget in his new environment.
Once more came into active reality the
bitter, depressing chill he had shaken
off for the moment. Mr.. Presbrey's
friendly, spiritual srnile at once sug-
gested 100 bitter wrong and heart
aches; disillusioning realities, cruel
charges and spiteful i~nnuendoes. 1t re-

WESTERN CANADA
SEEDING FINISHED
Wheat and Other Grains Have
Had an Excellent Start.

The seeding Of spring wheat was
pretty general this spring about 7th
Of April or about as early as in Illinois
and Iowa. Oats and barley followed.
Information is to hand that on first
of May all seeding was practically I'm.
ished. Farmers will now be busy at
their breaking, and the land for sum-
mer fallow will be entered upon. Some
who did not get their And prepared
last fall, will be later than the others,
but as the spring in Western. Canada
has been very open they will be only
q few days later. At the time Of
writing rain would be welcome, but
at seeding time, the ground contained
q splendid lot of moisture and the
lack Of rain at the present time will
not be serious. The number Of farm.
ers who have gone into the raising Of
cattle has been considerably in
creased, and the preparation for ex-
tensiVe cultivated grass pastures is
In evidence everywhere. The culti-
walton of fodder corn is being largely
entered upon in Manitoba there be-
ing upwards Of $4,000 acres in corn.
In Saskatchewan there will be q
large increase in the area planted, and
In Alberta many Of the more progress
sive farmers are taking hold Of 1t.
The yield varies according to the cul-
hvatton it receives, and runs from
five to nine tons per acre. In some
portions of Manitoba where II has
been poor for some years, success has
been achieved in ~ripening and it is
expected that a variety will soon be
developed that will provide seed for
the entire West, that, will at an early
date give to Western Canada a fame
for the growing Of a marketable corn
equal to that 1t has now for the
growth of smaller cereals.
A trip through Western Canada re-
Veals field after field Of alfalfa, the
growth Of which in any portion of
the country is now absolutely assured.
When these facts are made known to
the farmers of the corn and alfalfa
growing states, where their value as
wealth makers Is so we'll known, there
Will be no hesitancy in taking advan-
tage OF the splendid gift of 100 acres
OF land made by the. Government of
the Dominion Of Canada, where equal
opportunities r offered. Besides
these free grant lands, there are the
lands of some of the railway com
panies and large land companies, that
may be had at low prices and on
reasonable terms. During the month
Of February a large number Of in
Quiries were received, asking for farm
lands.
An encouraging feature of the farm
land situation in Canada is the large
percentage of sales made to settlers
In the country who desire to increase
their holdings or to others who will
take up farming In place of different
occupations previously followed.-Ad-
vertisement.
