But the poor old mother wculd not leave the only home place she knew and when help arrived they found the three women stand­ ing weary guard over the heap in the yard that was all the worldly goods they nad left. Even the wood­ pile burned and a great stack of tamerack fence posts whieh the old father had spent months getting out ’ of the bush, They were to pay a debt. So it runs on,—the living history of the poeple on this new frontier- Joy there is often, and sunny days. Bitter grief, and long .hard winters. Hard-won gain, and swift irretriev­ able loss. Yet over them all, watch­ ing watching, guiding through each day with unseen hand is our Father, He is still the rewarder of those that faithfully serve Him. He still guards them in sickness,, prospers their fields even above their fellows, keeps them in .faith and cheei* when ’ the hard days come. As long as they have Him, they will win through. I said so one night ovei* the sup­ pertable, and a man who had travel­ led a lot of this continent’s hard trails, laughed. Poor "chap, he does not know because he has never tried it. But it is true nevertheless, gloriously true, and nevei* more true than now. Yours Sincerely Margaret .Strang Savage pupils may learn useful carpentry. There is even a typewriter.

But 1 think he will survive even the win­ try looking morning for he was fat and husky and weighed a good ten pounds. But we have had a grand fall for weather. The frost came long ago and for weeks the trees have been bare and the grass withered. B-ut day by day, the sun shone gloriously through the shortening days. The roads were good and the cattle still rustled busily on the ranges and over the shorn fields. Even today’s winter may not stay with us. A bright sun tomorrow would lick it __ ____________ __ .

The little chap had infected glands in the neok. I asked the father how he had fared in the harvest. He smiled a bit grimly. “My grain went about six bushels to the acre; our potatoes were a complete failure but I guess we’ll get along some­ how.” And he insisted on paying his medicine bill. I happen that their .garden meant grubstake, and the grain, half—and their clothes, Russian Family Making Good Last week I had a letter from a mother of five, thirty miles away. They are Russians who started in here seven years ago with nothing and they are getting along. Both the fathex* and mother escaped from Russia by way of wChina during the Revolution. They can tell some true and terrible-tales of those dark days. The fathei* saw one hundred Christian Russians buried alive in a single grave because they would not renounce theii* faith in God. The mother is a skilled seamstress but after coming to. this country, she ;liad to make their clothes by hand. Till last fall she managed to save enough pennies to pay the first in­ stalment on a sewing machine. Some friends in Ottawa heard about her and they put in a good lick on that machine too. This is part of her letter: “Dear Doctor: How are you getting along, are fine. We thank God for thing. With my sewing machine lots of sewing. One family for near here all summer, have no mother. When I go thfere the oldest girl, she have everything so clean and neat. Sihe is thirteen. I am sorry for them. They are poor. .So 1 sew for them. Here a list of things I sew.” (There followed the names twenty-three articles, all the way from a boy’s coat for $1.00 to a dress for 10c.) “The money is w>hat I charge people for making clothes. I do not want money for this family. Blit the Bible School in Sexsmith, I like to have money to give to it and 1 have none. May be you know some good Christians, they send five dol­ lars to the Bible School to pay foi* this sewing. That make them feel good, and me too.. Maybe not five dollars, if they only can send two or three.

Fire Destroys Winter Fodder This summer When the first the leaves and fires went wild high southwest us every fall, many of the creeks and wells were dry. Time and again the settlers were called out to fighit the roaring menace. Some of them lost all their winter hay, stacked down on the river meadows, others loa| strawstacks an'd granaries full of new grain. There was one week the whole country lay under a pall of smoke. Away to the north a bad. bush crept down off the hills and the settlement. Threshing was over, new strawstacks dotted ‘fields, many of them with a gran­ ary in their lea. Men were called out and stationed on every stack and along the strips of bush through which the fire was roaring. Every truck in the country, was comman­ deered, and night and day they went roaring through, getting the precious grain safely out to the elevators, sixty miles away. Then a bad bush fire along the highway threatened to cut off their escape, but ithe men from the White­ mud went up and working in shifts, kept the road open. The trucks needed no lights at night running through -that -furnance. .Back in the woods near the,high­ way fire had isolated one family. The old mother and the girls were home alone that black Sunday morn­ ing when the fire roared in upon them from the west. The men of the household were all away, three miles across the hills trying to save theii* winter’s hay, stacked near a small lake.

After changing directly) over from ordinary commercial feed to your mineralized feed my production climbed from 50 to 7i5 per cent, in three weeks and still .gaining, I think they will lay 85 per cent, by the way they look in another week. This is the most eggs we ever got this time of the yiear. The new discovery “Wormfood” and Health Mineral will give you just as increased results in Hogs and cattle as it .will in Poul­ try. Increased vigour" and thriftiness and less feed per pound of gain, increased milk production, less trouble with mastitis, caked udders abortion in cattle anemic and runty pigs. Our soil is contaminated with worm eggs and our feed defic­ ient in minerals. Use ‘‘Wormfood’’ for Hogs and Poultry and and Health mineral for hogs, cattle and poultry.
