PHIL OSIFER OF
LAZY MEADOWS
By H. J., Boyle
Before the grass .became too long
We decided that the orchard should be
cleaned tip. In fact we have -decided
to do that same thing each year dur-
ing the pak number of years without
a great deal of success. There always
seeing to be some convenient excuse
for delaying the work until the grass
grows too long or else we get too
busy with the haying to be bothered
with the orchard,
Mrs. Phil looks out across the wild-
erness of orchard with it's thigh-deep
conglomeration of weeds and grass
and burdock stalks during each stint-
mei' and says with a certain amount
of scorn, "I can't for the life of me
figure out why it is that other people
can get their orchards cleaned up and
yott have to, leave ours in that con-
dition,;'' I get sorry and plan on clean-
ing it op for sure the next year,
During the middle of the summer
we manage to get the mower out and
attempt to cut the grass in the orch-
ard. Ilrokett limbs and old wheels and
piles of rubbish snarl the mower up,
garret hoops left lying around by visit,
frig holidaYers. annoy the' horses when
they come flipping up from nowhere,
The chicken coops with their little
patches of trampled grass and cheep-
ing chickens seem like villages in the
jungle. Brooding hens start up like
frightened game birds and we discover
nests of either partly hatched or batch.-
ed eggs.
What a host of amazing things we
have found this year in going through
the orchard, It seems that a former
hired man with a lilting for the juice
of the grape must have deposited all
his empties at the one spot in a corner
of the orchard. When the salvage col-
lectors decide they want to help the
glass shortage they should come up
here to Lazy Meadows.
Two years ago in an industrious
mood I cut down all the burdock
stalks around the front of the farm.
Evidently the scythe was hung over
the corner post of the orchard fence
and it slipped down in the corner and
lay there ever since. I looked high
and low for that scythe last year and
couldn't find it.
Mr. Howe will be interested to
know that we found a rubber tire. It
was one of those tires, considered un-
safe in the days when tires were easy
to purchase but a real treasure in view
of the present shortage of rubber. The
children from the city who were out
here to visit us last year evidently
were playing with it and they ran it
off in a corner of the orchard and
there it remained until this years his-
toric cleaning-up campaign.
Old Biddy was discovered with her
nest in the bottom of that old, hollow
Red Astrakhan tree. She 'was indig-
nantly removed, to the horse stable and
re-instated at her hatching operations
under a bushel measure. Biddy has a
habit of hatching for about two thirds'
of the required time on a nest and
then just at the important time she
decides to move on someplace else.
However, the orchard is 'cleaned up
and everybody is much happier now
at Lazy Meadows as they look out at
the clean expanse of lawn and apple
trees.
HURON PERTH FAIR
SOCIETIES ANNUAL.
Meeting At Clinton Very Largely
Attended
A meeting of the northern section

tural Societies of Huron, Perth, Mid-
dlesex, and Lambton was held in the

sing gratification at the progress of

of the condition of the association in-
-eluding aan encouraging financial re-
po rt.
Mayor A. J. McMurray extended a
civic welcome to the delegates, and
told about the growth of the Clinton
Spring Stock Show,
Gordon Young, a school inspector
of Middlesex county, the next speaker,
dealt mainly with the rural school
fairs, He urged that these be contin-
ued as being of great educational value
and also urged that pupils should ex-
hibit only their own work whether in
art or handicraft. The poorest speci-
men on exhibition is of more value and
interest if original than a much more
perfect one if teacher, parent, big
