As for his board, he doesn’t need to pay $8.00, as one Reeve told me he got good board for $4.00. When was the pay of County Coum cillors changed from $4.50 per day, to $25.00 per session?

Poor fellow . . . this year, he says he didn’t get a Val­ entine, Well now, I don’t want to rub salt in his wounds, but I did get a Val­ entine and from a young lady in God­ erich too. It was a real nice kind of a. one too, 'decorated with plenty of scrumptious lace and thingumabobs . . . and on the back there was a tele­ phone number, and this message , . . “Just to see if you’re as old a fogey as you pretend.” Being busy, sending the telephone the Saltford Sage.. * # * Probably, I’ll get a thrown at me for this do like the old fashioned winters bet­ ter than the chopped up one of the past three months. Time was, back on the Twelfth Concession when the snow just blew in about November and you could count on fairly decent sleighing all winter. Coming up from the barn on a clear night it was surely pleasant to hear sleigh bells jingle-jingle up the old road. A fellow could always tell, just about who it would be. I remember Ed. Hawkins had a real fine set of chimes, and I believe that it was those same “jing-jong” chimes that helped him win Sadie Smith. They talk about romance in a car,, but you give me. a frosty night, a fine horse and a set of fine sleigh or cutter bells,, or chimes if you preferred them. Things have been pretty quiet down at the Lazy Meadows barn, in the pasCfew weeks. Just sort of too peaceful, to last it seems. Ethiopia, that’s the black rooster, has sort of let up his feud with the Banty. An­ nabelle, the original old grey mare, went off her feed, for a few days, but she’s munching away at her rolled oats in good style now. Old Biddy has taken a great notion to hatch, and she’s about the most plagued nuisance that anybody could possibly have ar­ ound the. farm, First of all, I left my overcoat up beside the granary door, and she managed to get enough hay scratched into it, to start a nest. When I came along she had started her work on a single egg. Well, sir, she cussed in all the hen language known wjien I moved her out of there. She marched downstairs and scared Annabelle into leaving her alone and next morning I discover that she's Started up housekeeping in the man­ ger of the stall. She just saw me coming, and then after clearing her throat a few times to warn me to get out, she Went right into her war song. The battle was on, and between Jes­ sie, the brindle cow mooing, that old hen swearing, and Sttchattsuch, our collie pup, barking, there was a ditv that would have done justice to the Battle of Waterloo. But I managed to get hold of her, and I took her ov­ er to the hen-house to nurse her wounded pride. >|e * We opened the pit up on the south side of the driving-shed that fine day last week. Boy, was that ever a treatl I’ve been wondering all win­ ter how those apples were going to keep. Alter taking all the clay away and digging through the straw# we came down to the potatoes and the carrots. They were sound as a dol­ lar, The spies down at the end of the pit were just a mite woozy, but after we got the first layer away, you should have seen the rest of them.

It’s a small boy’s friends, just the same as a rich man’s. You can polish an apple until it looks like a jewel. It has a tart taste that seems to whip your appetite. It’s fun­ ny . . .'but no matter how a fellow feels he can always enjoy an apple. Your teeth just sink into luscious­ ness . , . and it’s clean food . . and it’s good. You can have all the fancy import­ ed 'dishes that you want, but just take along about this time and give me a good Spie or even a Russett . . and if you've been careful, you may have saved some of those Talma n Sweets- I can picture my Dad, as he used’ to sit beside the kitchen stove and. pare off slices of an apple with his jack-knife with his left hand. With his hand half-way to his mouth and his thumb anchoring a generpus slice on the blade of the knife he would say . . . “Aye, they’re good for what ails you, lad.” So 'they are, too. 1 1 FARMERS- Hl Kror M IMllilB Do You Need Money to Buy Seed ? Plan for the balance of this year now. The results next Fall largely depend upon the forethought given to cultivation, fertilization and the quality of the seed you intend to plant. Success usually follows good management. Intensive cul­ tivation of your land, properly fertilized and sown with Registered or Government Tested seed, is the best assur­ ance of profitable results.
