lowed Bio Ship on Land.

A 75-horsepower caterpillar, slowly
measuring its length over the desert
with a 40-foot ship in tow, was one Of
the sights of Imperial valley, Califor-
mia. the other day.
The boat, vessel of five-foot draft,
was mounted on skids, en- route from
Salton sea TO the railroad at inland,
where it will be loaded onto cars for
shipment to a seaport, whence it will
sail to Alaska to be used by prOspec-
tors.
The historic vessel was brought to
Salton sea when that inland body Of
water was of larger proportions than
it is today and was designed for use
in connection with the fishing indus
try. But the evaporating waters left
the craft high and dry on the silt.

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

On the train from Edmonton TO Win

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 a 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 FASTENED to the recruiting
office, leaving his 320-acre farm, with
its crop ready for harvest, a full
equipment of farm implements plenty

way to fight the Hun. And she sue

again in 1916, and when her husband
returned in 1917 she was able to show
some contemplated farm buildings

stock, and the land ready for 1917

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
blowing, seeding. summer following
and reaping. They have been espe-
cially successful with stock, and have
a splendid herd of shorthorns, botn
purebred and grade. At the recent
Brandon sale they purchased a new
purebred stock bull for $500. 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-
tenslvely 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
farmer as her brother.
There are other women, too, on the
Canadian prairies, who, though they
have not had thrown upon them the re-

the farm a success. They assist their
husbands by keeping the farm ac-

very often, proving good advisers in
the economic management of the men
and general conduct of the farm work.
