I’ll bet they’re dreaming of the grand, new world called the country and of the stories they’ll have to relate when they get back. ' Jimj our own lad, was just a little sulky about the whole affair. I knew* that because I overheard him arguing this morning at the corner of the drive shed with Billy about the merits of fishing back in the river. He cau­ tioned Billy above all to not mention it to me, because I wanted him to hoe turnips. The city lad was just a lit­ tle puzzled, and it seems that he wanted to help me draw in the hay feeling that his services in driving could not be dispensed with. When I saw Jim plod away to the root field with the hoe without hav­ ing to be threatened to do it, I was certain that affairs were definitely serious. So taking a hand in the ■whole thing, I told Billy that we wouldn’t need him because we were going to draw hay in from the south­ field, His face lighted up and soon I saw the lads sneak the fishing pole out from the drive shed and slip down through the hollow and back down to the river, That night they were back, tired but happy with a catch that I must confess was bigger than many I had drawn myself. It made a fine meal for the 'three of them the next day. Solomon, the gander, simply does­ n’t seem to like them. It may be the fact that they’re from the city but he loudly hisses at Billy every chance >• Bargain Fares JULY 29 - 30 Montreal Ottawa Quebec Chicago Detroit Windsor Ste, Anne de Beaupre Consult Agents for Fares, Trains to use, Return Limits PROCURE HANDBILL Canadian Pacific he gets.

In fact as he was enquiring from me last night how long it would take him to save en­ ough money* for a farrn, he told me in confidence that he wasn’t going to have a goose on the whole farm, I sometimes wonder as I see them enjoying their young selves so much, will they grow up and call all farmers “hicks”.

ANOTHER Walker’1" Store AVe’ve got visitors here at Meadows. t Two of my sister-in-law’s children, Betty and Billy, arrived on the noon train last Thursday, and since that time they’ve been allowed the freedom of the farm. It’s their first visit and I must confess that they seem to be enjoyjng themselves to the limit. I met them with Annabelle hitched to the democrat, because I felt that a car ride wouldn’t be such a thrill to. them. Right off the questions started about the horse. Did it have colts? How many did it have in a year? How old was it? Could they drive? And I’m very much afraid that Annabelle thought I bad been imbib­ ing as they sawed back' and forth on the reins on the way home. Lazy Meadows! They had hardly alighted from the democrat before they were off exploring. Jim, one of the local progeny went along as a sort of sage adviser. He expressed wonderment that anyone could be so ignorant of the affairs of a farm. And even he was stumped by times at the perplexing questions that seemed to crop up. Haying is one of their special de­ lights. Billy proudly, if somewhat er­ ratically, droves the team down the rows while the hired man shoves it up. Betty is on hand to ride back up to the barn. They sat and watqhed with decided interest as the hay-fork pulled the bundles Up and then dump­ ed them in the back of the mow. Milking time sees both of them bringing up the cows. Suchanstteh, the collie pup, who has managed tire chore quite easily so far this year, is puzzled while they take over his dut­ ies. When a Straying bossy yields to temptation and slips through open |)ars into a grain field he comes to the rescue. * They squeal with delight as we are milking, atid when the wife isn’t around I add to their joy by squirting milk at them, By the time that the lights ate lit At $5.95 they TRIUMPH Lovely Summer Sheer Dresses With Matching Slips sizes <ro 20 $2.98'' days with his father and also Mrs. Rudd, in Bluevale.
