In many parts Of Western Canada
are TO be found women owning and

Haziett, IN English girl, who lived Oh
a farm In the Lockwood hills, IN Saz-
katchewan. for the past four years,
looking after her stock and cultivatins

was originally her brothers homestead,
at which time Miss Haziett was a
stenographer. Her brother was killed
while fighting with the Canadian forces
at Vimy Ridge. NeIghbors advised
Miss Hazlett 10 sell the farm, but she
decided that she was tired Of the
eternal pounding and became a farm
erette.
Mrs. Mary j. Blackburn, a pioneer
woman farmer Of Alberta, has Just
added 100 acres to her farm near
Hardisty. Coming from Eastern Can
ada, Mrs. Blackburn homesteaded a
quarter section In 1902. She had two
Holstein heifers, a bull, and SIT In

summer and In a sod shack in the
winter. Her first crop put her. as

said Mrs. Blackburn. II started on
bare prairie with no money. and made
good. I worked hard, but the expert
ence was wonderful"
1t has generally been conceded that
farming Is a mans job. 1t has long
been considered that a woman's place
on the farm was In the house, with a
few attendant duties, looking after the
chickens and the garden. But times
are changing.
Demonstratlve Of the present femi-
nine initiative, there are two young
ndies farming extensively and with
good profit too, In Western Canada.
Some years ago a family located a 100
acre farm In the Oak Lake district,
Manitoba. Later the father died, leav-
Ing his two daughters and aged wife a
mortgaged quarter section. Instead of
selling the effects and moving to town
to take employment, the girls decided
to work the place.
While the mother looked after the
household duties the daughters did the
farm work. They did the blowing, har-
rowing, seeding, haying, harvesting.
stocking, feeding and other farm oper-
ntions. Except at threshing time, the
getting out of wood, the help of man
was never sought. Instead Of a 100
acre place, with seven horses and ten
cattle, which they started with, they
have q 1,12Osacre farm, twenty-five
