To aAn AmIabIe chIId.e

A small monument reminiscent of
old-time New York is often noted on
Riverside drive, near that somber me-
mortal, Grants tomb. The little stone
is inscribed Erected TO the, Memory
of an Amiable Child" The touching
inscription has aroused much curl
osity as to the unrecorded name Of
the victim of an untimely fate. A
New York city paper says that the
child was the son of George Pollock,
who owned tract of land In this sec
tlon In 1907. While this "amiable
child" was on fishing excursion with
his father at place called Fishing
Rock, a short distance out In the riv-
er. he fell overheard and was drown
ed. The father wrote, In conveying
TO another person the land where the
monument stands: 1.-THE surrounding
ground will fall into the hands of
know not whom. whose prejudices or
better taste may remove the monu-
ment and lay the Enclosure open. You
viii confer peculiar and Interesting
favor upon me by allowing me 10 con.

WOMEN FARMING IN
WESTERN CANADA
Success Has Followed All Their
Efforts.

On the train from Edmonton to Win
nipeg the writer took seat beside
soldier who had returned from the
front On his breast he wore the
beautiful distinguished service medal.
One coat sleeve was armless, and on
his left cheek he bore scar that he
would carry to his grave. He had
served his country faithfully and well.
At the first call for soldiers In August,
1914, he hastened to the recruiting
Office, leaving his 320-acre farm, with
equipment Of farm implements. plenty
OF horses, and a wife. The wife should
not be last on the list for she proved
the master of the situation, and 10y
ally took hold of the question Of pro-
duction, while her husband was on his
way to fight the Hun. And she sue
ceeded. In 1915 she succeeded, and
again In 1915, and when her husband
returned In 1917 she was able to show
some contemplated farm buildings
completed, the Indebtedness of the farm
paid of, q considerable addition to the
stock, and the land ready for 1917
crop. This was the story told by the
soldier, and wasn't he a proud mani
He was now ready to do what he could
to keep up the period Of prosperity
and provide food for the allies. The
women Of Canada have done nobly
during the struggle.
Among the most successful farmers
Of the Oak Lake district, Manitoba,
are the Misses Clara and Beatrice For
ward, who, for the past fourteen years,
have farmed their own land, doing all
the regular work on the farm, such as
plOwing, seeding, summer following
and reaping. They have been espe-
cially successful with stock, and have
a splendid herd of shorthorns, both
purebred and grade. At the recent
Brandon sale they purchased new
purebred stock bull for $700. Their
herd was last year increased by %
calves.
Miss R. NJ. Hillman of Keeler, Sas-
katchewan, is another successful
woman farmer. She has gone In ex-
tensively for grain growing, and farms
1,120 acres. She also owns some Of
the finest Percheron horses In Sas-
katchewan.
The prairie now boasts of many
women who have had more or less sue
cess, though few are farming on the
same large scale as Miss Hillman and
the Misses Forward. These women
have demonstrated, and are still DEM
onstrating, that a versatile woman
may be just as, good and successful a
farmer as her brother.
There are other women, too, on the
Canadian prairies, who, though they
have not had thrown upon them the re-
sponslbillties of running a farm"
have been decided factors in making
the farm success. They assist their
husbands by keeping the farm ac-
counts, reducing the grocer's bills by
their management of the poultry and
butter, taking care of the house, and,
very often, proving good advisers I'm
the economic management of the men
and general conduct of the farm work.
