I heard an old Scotchmaii, who prop
ed it true, say many times there were
only two •things for which a farmer'
should mortgage his farm—first, to
drain the land properly so as to raise
good crops, for prosperity cannot rise
from wet, cold soil—the land must be
drained; second, to build good barns in
which to house the stock and crops,
Tbese two conditions, rightly manag-
ed, will erect a fine home and make a
' comfortable bank account.
°Let There Be Light"'
I wish space permitted a lengthy dis•
cussion on the construction of the, cow
stable. It does seem to me that the
health of the cows and the purity of
the milk depend greatly on the stable.
Tour things are of prime importance-
sunlight, pure air, tigbt, dry floors and
she comfort of the animals.
The first recorded utterance of God
Is, "Let there be light," and further it
Is stated, "God saw the light that it
teras good." The Creator of all things
'knew that light was good. We knew
It is good. Ttien why abut it out, of
our cow stables? Did you ever see a

the stable. Let the sunlight get di-
rectly in on all sides if possible. Many
7tave the windows hinged on the lower
side and have them open inward from
the top. This prevents a direct draft
on the cows. Keep the windows tree
from cobwebs and wash them off oc-.

Thousands of animals are yearly be -

` to insanitary conditions. Effective
entiiation is of infinitely greater val-
ue than tuberculin. The fleet prevents
the disease; the other only reveals its,
' presence. There should be at least 500
gubic feet of air space for each cow.

subsequent oocasions his staff, it is

Her engagement ring, given her but a

There came in at the window a dis-

his horses while plowing. It was Jo.

the fields toward her lover. Joel saw
her coming and at the turn pulled in
his horses.

might call contenflalal:eous history.
But to go back that far in the history
off the far north is to hark clear hack,
to the beginning of things recorded,
or nearly so, '
The nasus 0 'ounrd has been identi-
fied with the development of the
Peace River valley for the last forty-
nine years, although the town of that
name is but a few Plays old. 1t is a .,
name which was taken into the north
by a nlaa—a very human. manly Hien,
but yet a very good man.
Forty-nine years ago, when Emile
Grouard penetrated the lorseliness of

cross to the savage tribesnsen; he was
a young priest, inveeterl with his holy
orders only a yess before. He was
young in 'experience, but be was
strong in the enthusiasm of his pinus
mission, and brave in the faith of the
greatest missionary church in the
world. The peril; and hardships of
the north were far greater than they
are to -day, but where there was an
unbaptized heathen to be taught the
gospel. the obstacles could not 'be too
great for this zealous missionary.
At•that time, nobody but the agents
of the Hudson Bay Co., an occasional
stray trapper, and one or two repre-
sentatives of the Cuvernmcnt had
ever visited the Slave Lake country.
The Mounted Police basal not yet
sprung into existence, and the pale
face was 0 novelty to the indiane.
and not a very welcome novelty, eith-

From several different pointe, railroad

eternal. wealth.. The tide of civiliza-
tion is sweeping northward like the
rush of the Mississippi broken through
its levees. Bishop Grouard is no long-
er isolated. In the fullness of his
years, he can gaze from the hood of
Lesser Slave Lake its all directions,
and see the seed he sewed in his
youth hearing rich fruit.
Bishop (Inward, now a venerable,
snowy bearded patriarch of 77 years,
is about Lo celebrate the golden an-
niversary of his priesthood. The event
will take place on the `39111 ant! BOLh
of June. The people of Grnnard and
the surrounding enuntry are making
elaborate preparations- to murk it with
e fitting celebration for such a sigeiti-
cant event in the story of the north
count y
This trill he the biggest thing that
has happened in a festive way so far
in the history of Slave Lake; indeed,
there may never be anything quite
like it again. For these reasons the
north folk are taking a tremendous
interest in the perfection of the de-
tails of the program.
The whites will not be alone in
doing honor to the grand old man of
the Peace River. Perhaps they will
-be only a minor feature of the cele-
bration. .Mor the word has been sent
out among the remaining fragments of
the nontheru Indian tribes, scattered
as they are now, and front every part
of the north tribesmen and halfbreeds•
are preparing to go to Greened for the
annivet,at,'. These people, who have
known Bishop Grouard time longest
and loved isms the bed, see more
plainly, perhaps, than the palefaces
the actual signihe rose of what they
are to celebrate. 1'o them the bishop
is little less then it deity. And that
may be saint without impiety, for be
has worked so much good among them
for more than a generation that to
them .lte.isthe. phvsicsil nem if'stit fun

brought.
Si the Indians will gaitlser from far
and near, and they will pay their
shock to her.
The nest morning Joel received a
note from \lolly breaking their en-
gegement. The shock was now with
him. though he was no better satis-
fied that there was not something uu-
derbanded which be could not under-
stated. He made no reply to the tote.

such cases—he sulked.
The next tiring he heard was that

Ire had overrated his ability to get on
without her, even though she might
have deceived him. Ills farm deities
were light, for the planting was fin-
ished, and there was little to do but
wait for the first reaping. So he sat
in the barn when idle and thought
about Molly. Sometimes it world sud-
denly come over him that all this trou-
ble as to the loss of the ring was non-
sense; that it had been really lost and
there lead been nothing to cover up.
13111 this vlew of the case would not
last long. Besides, if :Molly had really
loved him she would have shown more
distress at his suspicion of her. It
did not occur to hits that the more
sensitive she was to ber boner the
more indigunntsbe would be at being
falsely accused.
Inc day while he was in the store he
heard two men talking.
