PHIL OSIFER of
LAZY MEADOWS
Around here the main topic of
eanvershtion these days has to do
twlth Ike scarcity of moisture. At
the Store or the grist mill, or the
dance in he schoolhouse, every
,former ie concerned about the way
his crops are drying up.
No matter how hard you work,
er how scientific you become, the
smatter of getting enough moisture
to make your crops grow is some-
thing that's beyond you. In some
plates they have ricked it pretty
well by means of irrigation, but
here amongst these hills of ours it
would ,be a neat trick to snake irri-
gation work.
By Harry J. Boyle
There are a number of people I
would like to invite out to visit
me at this moment. I suppose the
sun has put some bitterness in my
veins, because it would be a subtle
means of informing them just how
wrong they are about living in the
country.

'The most eevere electrical storm
that has visited Seaforth and vi-
cinity in some years, broke about
8.30 on Friday evening, and for
upwards of an hour the night was
almost as ,bright as day by the
continuous flashes of lightning.
The street lighting machine 'was
completely burned out, it being
very dark until Thursday night
when service was ,resumed. A
chimney on the residence of Mr,
Alex Lowery, was demolished, and
the barn oa the farm of John Ben-
net was struck, but fire did not
follow.

June 23, 1899
Mr. Chris. Dale, of Hullett, this
week made, au exceptionally large
sale of livestock and one which
ran into a large amount of money.
For cattle he received $5,666;
horses, $3.60; hogs, $104; making
a total of $6,034, and he still has
about $900 worth of stock on his
farm.
At a meeting of the Junior La-
crosse Club at the Queen's Hotel
on Thursday evening, the follow-
ing officers were elected: Honor-
ary president, W. 0. Reid; presi-
dents, T. J. Stephens; vice-presi-
dent, Jas. Wright; captain, George
Bell; secretary, Ed. Bright; man-
ager, Thos. Johnstone; committee,
D. McLeod, Joe Stephens and
Frank Willis.
After the ball game on Friday
evening last some .small boys pro-
cured some bad eggs from the rear
of D. D. Wilson's Emporium and
threw these unsavory missiles at
the visitors. To prevent a re-
occiirence of such conduct, the ser-
vices of Constable Gillespie were
enlisted and as a result about 16
boys, ranging in age from 12 to
15 years, had to appear before the
magistrate on Monday afternoon.
The town was invaded by 150
Berliners on Friday afternoon, who
came up to coach their football
team in the match with the Hur-
ons. The game was one of the
most exciting that has ,been play-
ed here, and the Rangers won in a
fair way.
Mr. William Rae, B.A., of Lead -
bury, is now taking a short rest
at home.
Mr, Wni. Doig, of Tuckersmith,
has received the appointment ,of
am the one responsible for him
paying three dollars for a " beef-
steak when he rides on the train.
He complains about the price of
eggs, and the price of milk, and
ends up the conversation by say-
ing, "Boy! You fellows out on the
farm certainly have it soft!"
There is another type of fellow
who bumps into me occasionally
who sneers at me. He tries to
give the impression that I am sort
of a racketeer, and that he knows
about my racket and isn't going to
tell anybody, He gives the impres-
sion that I am a mighty smart fel-
low who outwits the income tax
people at every turn. He is also
convinced that farmers during the
war made themselves great piles
of cash which they have cached
away in convenient places, ready
to be brought out for use during
the lean days of a depression.
Another type is my preying rel-
atives from the city. They swoop
down in the fall and load up with
every conceivable type of produce
and plunder to tide them over the
winter. They think it's all a lark.
After all, living on a farm is just
so much fun. You work a little
in the spring to put in the seeds,
but then you sit back and let
Mother Nature provide for ' tvou.
I wish all those types
watch the pastures burning up
these days. I wish they could ,fol-
low us from dawn until dusk, tree
Mg in a pitiful way to conserve
the water supply and also to keep,
the garden truck from drying tip.
Maybe, °'3•t would convince them
that farming has many 'hazards,
and that Mother Nature Is riot al-

Early Tomatoes
Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Martin, of
Kingsbridge, when in town on
Monday, brought with"'•themn a flow-
erpot in which were a foliage plant
and a tomato plant bearing two
well -formed and ripe tomatoes.
The tomato plant came up "by ac-
cident" and the fruit developed to
maturity ,in Mrs. Martin's kitchen
v:ndow at Kingsbridge. The pot
was placed in the window of the
French Dry Cleaners' office on
West Street and the house -grown
tomatoes have attracted consider-
able notice.—Goderich Signal -Star.

Year 'Round 'Protection
Many parentsare under the im-
pression that during the summer
they do not need to give their
children vitamin D because they
get all they need from the sun.
Unfortunately, in many areas of
Canada there is, not enough sun-
light to provide adequate amounts
of vitamin D, and in any case
suntan acts as a screen, keeping
out ultra violet rays. It's• neces-
sary to add vitamin iD to a child's
diet all year 'round.
