MtTCHEL .9+96.494,0.101.49.9.54401.4464,401,0:44.444.9 Titero is a town iu Massachusetts that smacks as. much, if not More, of the early coloninl times titan any other in North America, Its name Is Badley, and they call it Old J3udley, but why it is considered necessary to mention tiro fact of itte age is net ap- parent, Certainly no one W0U11l ever look upon it as youug Badley. Land was cheap wbeu Hadley was settled. Consequently they laid out the meet street of the town es wide as a modern block- fel long, ''lth two reeve of trees on each side, a row 'within a stone's throw of the houses, the other row within calling distance Of the )louses on the other side -that is, by a stroug pair of lungs. Later the settlers laid out another street not far from the first, but since there bas never been use fir two par- allel streets in Hadley the first is now deserted. But tho Name trees planted several hundred yonrs ago still stand there. At one end of the street to which the town was moved there is a dwelling which in the olden time was the tav- ern. The bar Is still there over which formerly passed many a meg of flip. but it is now dry. The visitor looks longingly upon it, half expecting to see the landlord hand out the steam- ing beverage, the turas away in. dis- appointwent, and the curtain that hides the bar is lowered. One cheerless night long ago when the trees were throwing their great arms about in the wind a party sat to this barroom endeavoring to bear up against the weather by a frequent call- ing on the landlord for Oita They said it was the weather that rendered the stimulant necessary, but that was an age of superstition, and the real reason fur their potations was a fear of ghosts. Every time a gust of wind would shriek through the trees above them the col- or would lenve their faces, and when Ethel. Public School closes for the aummet holidays on Friday nes", Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Colvin and son George spent Sunday in town, Miss A. Scheidt epent Sunday with her cousin, Mies K. Denman at Silver Corners. The cement work for the Presby- terian sheds here was completed last week.

Mr. and Mrs, Jim Davidson enter- tained anumber at the grove on Tuee day afternoon, the occasion being Mre. Davidson's birthday. Quite a number from town attended the Jubilee held in Molesworth on Sunday and Monday 'and report big crowds and a good time. A political meeting was held in tin - township hall on Saturday evening when Dr. Macklin the t'ionservativ. cesndidate,,for Centre Huron and Mr Bowman, Id. P., gave splendid ad dresses. After the meeting Mr. and Mre. Wm. Love entertained the speakers at their home and treated them to a light lunch which was much enjoyed by the company.

And they don't all keep around Salem neither, They say there's n girl down to Hot- y'oke that was caught the other day vomitin` crooked pins." "It isn't the witches that make tt 'tan's marrow freeze up," said a young- , ster of eighteen, trembling as he spoke. "1 heard the other day that a ghost was going round in the flesh." "You don't mean It!" exclaimed the man in the plaid waistcoat, taking his ciay pipe from his mouth that his .chattering teeth might not bite off the stem, "I hope he we* come in here."

Raise the £10 touting yon to motel Iris stake, and you'll be the eerier by that amount." This gave courage to the others, and n desire sprang up anlotl3 those pres- ent to discover whether the waxy men was really one from the dead or playing on their credulity. But it must be remembered that a desire for money was as fixed among our ances- tors as in us. An effort was made to raise the stake, but failed, since there was not so much money among the company, ')'Ile most that could be 01)- tnined was arta. However, the waxy m111 generously offered to accept this stake instead of the larger amount. and the tuOney was put up ou 'both sides, "Who's to hold the stakes?" asked the rosy cIleelced loan.

IIe said this in such a ghost!), tone that it brought back something of the former fear of those present. So great was the awe that the gaping settlers did not think to protest when the rosy cheeked elan stuffed the money in his pocket nud, taking a candle, started upstairs. "What number, landlord?" he asked. "No. 8," replied the letellord, band - Ing httn a key. When the mall's footsteps lind dled :sway. a profound silence fell on the house, The Inas front the grave sat mlotluulees, atone, at his tattle, and nearly every eye in the room was fix- ed upon him, The wind, which had continued to blow, gave several pro- longed howls, at the end of which the num who had gone upstairs was beard to give a shriek, Indicating some fright - 181 experience. The man who 'had agreed to introduce him to leis grand-- father rand=father rolled his eyes about over the company, ns if in triumph. No one stirred. Presently the landlord pluck;,• ed up courage and started upstairs. He was followed first by the most courageous, afterward by the others. The door of No. 8 was 'found to be locked. The landlord • called to the man within, but, receiving no answer, he broke it down and found the cham- ber.etupty. "IIe's been ,spirited away," suggest- ed the man with the plain waistcoat, shuddering. "Didn't I telt you," said the young- ster oungster who had made the prediction "that a ghost was going around in the flesh? He's the mini downstairs." 13y this time it was noticed that n sash in the bedroom was open, and it occurred to the landlord that the oc- cupant had dropped out through the window. It was no great distance to the ground and a very easy fall. "My friends," he said thoughtfully, "It's my opinion we'we been robbed. He's gone with the money," Ile hurried downstairs to find the waxy man. He, too, had vanished. "What soy you, friends?" said the landlord. "Shall we give chase to these resents?" "What!" protested the nine with the red head and green eoat. "Give chase on a night like this? I prefer to lose the few shillings, 1 contributed to cu- riosity."

PREPARING LAMBS .. FOR WEANING TIME From the time filo lambs are dropped anti" taken from the flock they are'de- p.endeut oft the Mettler caro both for wlik and for compantonstep, says the Orange dudtl Fernier, It the lainbs aro token froze the ewe And compelled to wirer from hunger and lonesomeness :t is no wonder that. they bewail their condition and shrink in flesh. The Mother ewes should be given some grain food in addition to pasture or other roughage during the period the Iambs are with them. If the lambs are thrifty they will soeti learn to eat of the same kited of food. Sueh iambs, Wag thrifty, are always good eaters and make but little fuss when remov ed at weaning time, It is good pray tics to prepare for weaning. Prior to weaning teach the lambs to eat some food that will take the place of the another's mill. better than thegrass of the pasture Get the flock earsears The Merino being a Wool sheep before anything else, its fleece is the principal point of excellence. This should be close and compact on the skin. having sufficient yolk to preserve the soft texture and grease enough to proteet it from the rains. The close top of a Me- rino fleece Is therefore a protection to the sheep against the weather. When crossed with mutton sheep the Merino produces an excellent quality of meat, The illustration shows the head of a Merino ram. into an inelosure where they will be comfortable after having fed on grass in the morning and give them n light feed of some mi1tere of concentrates like oats and bran, half and half, or oats and bran tvllh some oilmen! add; ed. The ewes will enjoy a light feed of this morning and 1113111 and the lambs wilt lenin to eat with theme. \Vhen the lambs have learned to eat +hese concentrate's lu the inelosure the ewes may be separated from the lambs. When the day of sepnrntion has ar- rived get the flock In the inelosure ear- lier than ordinary, feed and then hold until nearly time to turn out. Now sort the ewes, then feed the lambs and take the ewes to some distant field out of hearing of the Iambs. After the lambs have lied a good feed of grain turn them back to their old pasture ground and they will go to picking up grass at once. The lambs should be taleeu up each day, fed a fairly liberal portion of grain, be given access to all the water needed and plenty of grass and they will make good growth with- out further bother. DAIRY CLEANLINESS. Importance of Keeping Utensils In Sanitary Condition.. Look over the cans and if there are any with rusty, bad spots in them. set them aside and pit good ones in their places, says E. L. Vincent in American Ctlltirator. ltnsty tin is daugerous- dangerous to the health of the sick folks and babies that use the milk they contain, and dangerous to the keeping qualities of the milk. Malty n can is never really washed before new milk is put into it. Per- haps n little cold water is rinsed round in them and then celled done. The rinsing with cold water is all right. so far is it goes. It must be followed up with the hottest kind of water, ap- plied to every spot and place on the inside of the con, so that every germ lurking there may be killed. Then this ought to be followed by cold water rinsing again. Sunshine will finish such a job in good shape.
