The man has perfect bleseedneae who happens to have friends amoug the farm- ere—frisods with whom be can make himself at home .end enjoy himself, Town bred people enjoy the novelty of visiting at a farm, but it is the town people who have at some time in their lives lived on a farm, who thoroughly ap- preciate a few days spent in the untram- melled freedom of the country. And country people enjoy the visit of people who have some oonception of farm life, better thau they do those of people who do not know or pretend not to know a Jersey cow from a Plymouth Rook rooster. There are some town people who make life a burden to their country hosts., who bave to be wetted on and en- tertahnod, and make so much extra work for their rural friends that the latter ex• u ss when "Thank goodness," 'm fervently,g tial they are all bundled into the demomat and started on their homeward way. Now, I can stand afar off and chortle to myself that I am thankful the.' I Jul nob even as those people. I spent a white on a farm not long ago and eveu the mews followed one to the line fence and bowed bitterly when I hiked across lots for home. I arrived at the farm in. the even- ing, and the hostess was so sorry elle hadn't known I was coming, else she'd have had "something for supper." All she set before me was half a•dozen 'boiled eggs, a peck or so of fried potatoes, a cold roast, four kinds of pickles, a pile of home made bread, a foot high by a foot and a half long, a massive slab of beauti- ful butter, two kinds of pia, several varieties of preserved fruits, nod a few other trifles. She anxiously hoped I would "make out a meal" and was sure I'd perish of hunger before daylight, be. cease I didn't put everything on the table inside my balbriggan. I wondered for a moment if this was sarcasm, but a glance at her hospitable faoe showed she was in solemn earnest. She seemed real offend ed because there were a few things left to pot book in the cupboard. The sitting room of a farm house is about the most home -like plane on earth. After supper, when the farmer has come in from the barnyard, put outhis lantern, pulled off his boots and stretched on the sofa, his better half reads the weekly paper, from the heeding to the last "Lost strayed or stolen" adv't., and prods her drowsy husband once in a while to read him some thrilling item about the thresh- ing an the next concession, The clock tabs off the minutes with load, mellow ticks and fmallybefore nine o'clock every- body is in bed, sleeping the sleep of the hard workers and the just. Next morning as the sun slid out from behind an orchard two miles away, I heard pails rattling and I knew that the farmers' day had begun. I wasn't going t to be a town nuisance and pat them to the trouble of getting a second breakfast, so I wearily Drawled out and wondered when I'd get last night's supper digested. Flocks of (thickens, turkeys and duoke were clamoring in all directions for their breakfasts, and away down the lane the farmer was plodding along, calling "Co, boss ; co boas," at a bunch of cows in a, pasture field half a mile away. None of them seemed to co much till be got near them, then they all started towards the ""gap," where they all presently emerged into the lane in an orderly group. From all directions of the dew laden country similar calls floated across the meadows, and I thought how privileged they ware in being—able to holler as loudly as they pleased without fear of disturbing their neighbors on the other side of the fence. I wanted to be useful as well as orna- mental, so I offered to feed the calves. 'I didn't know whether they were fed with a spoon or a garden hose, but I was will- ing to try. I was given a pail nearly full of skimmed milk with some slippery sort of substance in it—soft soap, or some - LADIES' DxrsnrnzoT—Orazy quilt, Mise Ford, Miss Hammond ; beggar's quilt, Mre Ronnenberg, Mre Ford ; patched quilt, Mre D Anger, Mrs John Switzer; aroobet quilt, Miss Maggie Dioksun, Miss E Hamilton ; log cabin quilt, W H Jlc Craoken, Mra E Stewart ; quilt aewed on Cotton, Mrs E Stewart ; quilt knitted, Mrs E Stewart, Mies Maggie Dickson ; counterpane, tufted, Mrs E Stewart, Mise EHamilton ; gentleman's coarse shirt, Mina L Fisher, Mien E Stewart ; woolen socks, W H Mc0racken, Mre E Stewart; darned stookines, Mre W D Angus ; woolen mitts, W H McCracken, Mra D Anger ; stockings, Mre E Stewart, W H McCracken ; woolen gloves, W H Mc- Cracken, Mrs D Anger; oversocks, Mrs H Ronuenberg ; faooy knitting, Mre E Stewart, Mrs D Amer ; orootlet work, Mrs E Stewart, Miss Stewart; panels, painted, Mi s Baker ; table bogoet out flowers, Miss R Diokeon, Mrs R 01 Bal- lantyne ; hand boquet out flowers, Mies R Dickson, Mrs R ,1£ Ballantyne ; trey olotb, W H McCracken, Mies L Fisher ; Berlin wool work, raised, W H MaCraek. en • Berlin wool work, flat, Miss L Fisher ; table scarf, Mise L Fisher, Mies Baker ; faooy pincushion, Miss L Fisher, W H McCracken ; pillow shame,_ Mrs E Stewart, Miss L Fisher ; whisk bolder, W H MaCraoken, Mies L Fisber ; table mats, Mre E Stewart, W H McCracken ; sofa pillow, Miss L Fisher, Mies M Dick- son ; fancy [slippers, W H McCracken, Mise L Fisher ; ladies' underclothing, Mise L Fisber, Mre E Stewart ; outline work, Mre E Stewart, Mrs W D Angus ; doileys, W H MoOraoken, Mies L Fisher ; %entre piece, Mies Balser, W H McCrack- en ; collection of pictures, Miss M Diok- eon, Mise Baker ; collection of ladies' work, Miss Baker; Mise L Fisher ; Roman embroidery, Miss Baker ; foot stool, Mrs E Stewart, Mise L Fisher ; point laoe, Miss Baker, Mre W D Angus ; honiton lane, Mrs W D Angus, W H Mo- Oraoken • landscape paipting, Miss M Dickson, Miss ia' Dickson ; tatting, Mise L Fisber ; nettiog,,W HMaOraaken, Mies Baker ; drawo work, Mise L Fisher, Mise Baker ; fancy apron, Mra E Stewart, Mies L Fisher ; tea oosy, Mrs W D An. ens, W H McCracken ; lamp shade, W H McCracken 1 fnnay handkerchief, Mrs E Stewart, W H MoOraoken ; home launried sbirt, Mrs T G Ratcliffe, Mies R Dials - son ; photo frame, Miss L Fisher, W H MoOraaken ; pair blankets, Mrs E Stew - when they raised their heads to breathe and nee my goat elesvaa Be napkins.

She gave a disdainful' snuff tie much tie to say, "What. do yon, know about it ? " However, I believed flattery would win favor with the femin• ine gender of any epeoies, so I again re- marked "Nies old cow 1" Thinking over it all now I oan see that that was where I made my first break. Naturally, she resented this remark as a reflootion on bar age and laid it up against me, When I had made a few other pleasant remarks and squashed a few, flies that were, drill. ing taut wells into her neck, I adjusted thyself at the faucets, with the pail bal. auoed underneath. There were four faucets and I tackled the two nearest ones.I gave them a timid squeeze,uca ze bat r d the forme m -calla no milk came, d I and asked him and if -the cow hadn't ought to be primed, as she seemed to be dry. He said no, that they Dever watered their cows lest it got into the milk. He told me to squeeze harder. I squeezed, and must have dug my nails into the faucets' for she raised her foot quickly, kioked the pail and myself a short distance away, and strolled off down the lade. I follow- ed her down and managed to get connect- ed with the milk taps again. I squeezed and pulled and presently the sweet strains of thin streams of milk strikiug the On pail sounded forth. She marked time• with all four feet, and banged me over the head and face with her bushy tail, but I shut my ayes and persevered. When I opened them again I wee sitting in a pool of nice, new, warm milk with the pail in my lap, and the cow walking indigaautly back to the bush. Just what I had done to offend her or what she had done to op end me, I never knew. I followed that nnregeueraLed, animated creamery clean bark to the end of the farm, wedged her iu between a pile of brush and a pile of rails, sod milked her for three boars straight.

The chipmunk didn't mind it a bit, and when it got tired of fun it disappeared. I logit myself in the tall corn and delivered an impressive oration to a group of woodahnoks. I never had a more appreciative audience. Even the corn was all ears. But the days of "hayseeds" and "clod- hoppers" are over, in the county of Perth at least.
