And yet, the entire garden eccuples a sheltered little spot that's lees than an acre in size, and which we formerly used for a night pasture.

DJiac When a farmer has just a day in which to build a hoghnuse, he, doesn't usually want to be bothered with a la of studying over plans and di- mensions before he starts in. I hap- pen to know a man who had a lot of odd lumber on his place that was left from building a corncrib, and so he naturally couldn't expect to con- struct a shelter with Et set design. He did the next best thing though, and, put some of the stuff together .into what his neighbors termed a good house, and did it in a single day. In the first place, he wanted a hog - house for his spring litters, to move around onto fresh ground as he chose. With this ein mind, he gathered up all the shiplap left from tho corncrib, and after looking around, found an olid cellar door, still in good shape. For a dollar he got two fair sized beans at the lumber yard, that had been car stakes in shipping. And in addition to buying more 2x4's to go with what he already had, be bought a pound of eightpenny nails anti .two pounds of tens. The rest he furnish- ed from around the farm. Two frames for the ends were first made, and the car stakes laid down to receive them. The stakes were fastened down solidly with cross - piens and corner braces after the distance hod been determined. With the 10 -foot ridgepole cut, he' proceed- ed to set up the ends, and to 'brace them in piece temporarily, then cut 2x4' crosspieces for the middle. The '6fiipiap which he had was 14 -foot stuff, so he planned to have *he sides run up and down, and cut them 7 feet long, This made the ends have a slant length of 6 feet 8 inches, and the spread at the 'bottom was the same. Th; plait of the atruatm:e was to Have it large enough to house two; litters, and so braces and a Ilartition. were next, put in, and the.' ends all boarded up but the doorways.

One term be served as justice of the peace, but aside from that I neve;' knew of his being - elected to any place of public trust. But this father end another did raise men and women. They had seven children, five girls and two boys, and they are all citizens- of the highest type. Some of them are on the farm; others are teachers, and one la a civil engineer in the employ of one of the largest railway lines of the country. The old man is now well past eighty and proud of his success. He never has been what the world would call a successful man, but as a matter of fact, the world never will know just how much it owes to him. He has left his im- press on his time most effectively. And,the fine part of it is, those boys ad girls, now men and women grown, all recognize what their par- ents have done for them• If you were to speak to any one of them about this, you would hear something like this: "Father taught school himself in his younger days. In fact, he taught in our own district in the winter a number of terms. This was an ad- vantage to us. He always attended to it that we bad our lessons, and we had the best of books and papers all the time on the table. Father often had literary exercises at the schoolhouse, and when he thought we were getting tired of that, he would urge us to go around to the homes of the neighbors and hold little meet- ings with the boys and gilrls there. We had Dingle, some readings and pieces to speak. He urged us to think for ourselves and learn all we could about the farm and the out-of- door life that we could. When old enough we were sent away to high school or normal eohool and both father and mother did all they could to help us along. Mother kept us well clothed. We did not always have the finest cloth in our clothes but it was good and clean. We kept some sheep and their wool made our clothes and some besides. We owe every- thing to father and mother." And every year there is a home- coming. No matter where the boys and girls are, when the call comes they rally at the old farm home: It is a great day, a 'lay of telling over the stories of olden times and enjoy- ' ing the meeting together once more. 1 Sometimes in counting up the wealth of the nation we lsriee in many things that do not amount to half as inueli as tbia old moo's crop of boyo and girls.
