WESTERN CANADA’S
PROSPECTS FOR 1914
£xeelent Spring for Work a
Wheat Seeding About
Finished.
Th* writer has Just returned from
■■ extensive trip through the Prov
tocea of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, in Western Canada The crop
condition# are the eery beat, and no
one locality aeema to have an advan-
«•«« over another In thla reapect. Tho
uniformity In growth is remarkable,
•ad In all parte of the three provinces
spring wheat at the time of writing,
Way 10th, is well above the ground
from two to three Inchea Consider
•ble fall plowing wan done last year,
•nd thla, with the summer fallow, is
already seeded, ao that practically
Wheat seeding la over by thla date.
Everywhere the farmers are buay and
the whole country presents one great
•cene of activity—three-horse, four
worse and five-horse teams are busy
preparing land for barley, oats and
flai. on some of the larger farms
batteries of steam and gasoline out-
fits are at work, but in a great many
.districts where these have been oper-
ated In the past they are being dis-
placed by horses, owing no doubt par
tially to the difficulty of securing ex-
perienced men to operate them. Any-
way, there is being put Into agricul-
ture in Western Canada, greater ef-1
fort with more promise than for some
years past. The soil Is In the best
possible condition; moisture haa been
sufficient, there have been no winds
to dry out the soli, and If the tenners
have had to lay up for a day or ao
now and again. It was merely that the
xnnind might have the advantage of
the rain and an occasional anow,
which promise so much for the grow-
ing crop. With some warm weather
the grain will come along In a man-
ner that will equal the best years
Western Canada has ever had.
It must not be thought from this
that the termers are full bent on se-
curing a grain crop alone. In nearly
•very district there Is more and more
the Indication and Inclination to go
into mixed farming. Herds of cattle
now dot the plains that up to the
present had been fully given up to
grain growing, hogs and sheep are In
evidence. New buildings are to be
•een on a great many places, these
being pig houses and cow stables, al-
though protection of cattle Is not regu-
larly required, excepting for calves
•nd such cows as It may be necessary
to house from time to time.
The growing of alfalfa and other
fodder grasses is an Industry that la
being rapidly developed.

Question and Answer.
Phoebe was bored. In all the six
long years of her life she had never

her, and she cried. She waa one of

when they do, make no secret of it
In short Phoebe nearly lifted the
nursery celling off.
Upstairs came Phoebe’s mother, al-
ready dressed in her gladdest clothes
prepartory to having tea with a
friend.
"Why, what's the matter, Phoebe?”
•he asked.
Phoebe, standing hopelessly In the
middle of the nursery, only howled
the louder and refused to see any-
thing cheerful about life.
Lifting the unhappy child up In her
arms and cuddling the tear-stained
little face against her own, the mother
walked over to the looking-glass.
“Just look. Phoebe, at that ugly lit

Phoebe Immediately became in ten

Better 8oldler Than Statesman.
One hundred years ago on the forty-
fifth anniversary 0f his birth. Lord
Wellington was rewarded with the
title of duke in recognition of his
success in the Peninsula campaign
against the French. At the same time
the house of commons voted (2,000,-
000 for the support of his new dignity.
^ ithln a little more than a year the
famous soldier was destined to win the
great victory at Waterloo and to be
made the commander-ln-chlef of the
British forces. Later In life the duke
of Wellington became British prime
minister, but the strong personal quali-
ties that had helped him to success
aa a soldier were not the qualities that
best befitted for the premiership, and
the career of the duke as a statesman
added little to his fame.
