where the targe "forest trees "baa to

habita—warm and comfortable until
a heavy rain came, and then a shower
bath for the occupants, for sod roofs
absorbed the rain.
; Grasshoppers denuded the crops of
the early settlers from time to time,
and there" was always the danger of
frosts, until earlier. variety of wheat,
such. asr the , Marquis, were introduced:
But, perhaps -"the most heartbreak-

notes given for' their purchase, and
'nothing was left to carry on with.
But about fifty yearn ago the Exemp-
tion Law was 'passed •by which the
homesteader was left enough, to carry
on with in his farm operations. This
protection must have prove, 'a' bless-
ing in giving a feeling of security to
face the future, enabling many_, a
farmer to .succeed where, otherwise
he would hate, failed hopelessly: No
doubt it is to this very wise. law that
the ,;present .prosperous -appearance of
the country •can be laegely attributed.

they all seem to love:
We are glad to see so many of our
farm boys, who so . willingly, .even
eagerly; volunteered 'to serve in the
various branches of the armedforces,
returning to the land and settling
down to the peaceful quiet life on the
farm, at last having their., wishes ful-
filled to 'be back to the places ter'
which they had often been se home-
sick during the terrible tunpsoil of
war. The advanced price of machin-
ery, will, we fear,' arouse bitter, re-
sentful 'feelings, but we know that
manufacturers must have their pro-
fits. Farmers havelived well, not be-
ing limited as. much to rationing like
other folks, and ,'their profits have
'been' sufficient in many cases to wipe
out the mortgage. But how many,'both
men and women, worked 'beyond their
strength despite advancing years that
their sons -and in some cases, daugh-
ters too—might go off to serve their.
countey? And we mour'.p,,. the , boys
