"Dear Anne Hirst: I am 21,

He loves my babies, and he
wants to marry rne.

cause I've been married before.
His father recently died, so he
feels responsible for her.

We had a shearer of rail' tbis
morning. It lasted for exactly
nye minutes. Had it lasted for
five hours' we would have been
better pleased. It must be at least
a month since we had a real rain.
.Everything is looking brown and
shrivelled—graes, shrubs. plants,
gardens — yes, even the weeds.
However, in spite of the dry
weather we had our first picking
of green peas today and they
were sweet and tender as could
be. How they managed to pod
and fill never know. I notice
on many farms -wheat has been
cut and stoked. which will be
a great relief to the owners.
After a prolonged dry spell there
is always that fear that a storm
will blow up and flatten the
wheat before it is cut And there
is nothing more discouraging to
a farmer than a storm -flattened
field of grain. Maybe we are
wrong. but Partner and I have
a feeling that farmers have far
more worries now than they had
in years gone by. Far more dry
weather, lack of help, more ex-
pensive machinery, fertilizer to
buy. regulations for this and
that, and with it all the price of
wheat so low tri camparison with
the case of production. Small
wonder that so many farmers
set out when a good offer comes
along for then property. But

stayed in the shelter of the
shrubs all day. At night we
caught her and put her with the
other biddies. She settled down
quite happily in her new quar-
ters until the time came for her
to start laying again. Did she
use a nest box like the other
hens? Oh, no, nothing so com-
mon for this ben. She gets over
the top of a partition that separ-
ates the henpen from the
granary. Once in the granary
she makes a nice cosy nest for
herself, lays an egg and then
gets back to the henpen the same
way as she left it. That has been
going on now for several weeks.
Sometimes she scratches around
in the barn for a while and she
could escape altogether if she
wanted to. But no, every day
our little red hen goes back to
the pen quite of her own accord.
Quite a personality, our Biddy.
Now I should tell you about
Mitchie-White. Remember he
had one leg almost severed by
the mower last year. We won-
dered if the same thing would
happen this year, as the long,
standing hay was Mitehie's
favourite hunting ground. The
first time Partner went out with
the mower Mitchie couldn't be
found. However, Partner was
on the watch and on his first
round he saw a white streak tear-
ing down the field like mad along
by the fence. We 'didn't need to
worry any more. Mitchie and
the mower were never again in
the field at the same time. But
once the mower and tractor were
back in the shed Mitchie came
out of hiding and spent the whole
evening hunting amid the new
m0%13 hay.
Well I hear the dogs harking.
That means Bob and Joy have
arrived. for supper.
