SPRINGTIME Bel- Now it may be Spring, but I have a prejudice against getting a new pair of shoes filled with water . . even if the clerk in Murphy’s store assured me that they were waterproof. So I waited, and in the most cajoling voice assured Tinker that if he would just be escorted home I would drop the whole matter. But there he stood eye­ ing me in calf-like innocence, Just about that time a slick car drove up, and a pair of charming young ladies with eyes of liquid vel­ vet took my mind off the calf, They wanted to know the way to Peter Hawkins’ place. I was suddely very much aware of my ragged attire and smiled . . . and tried to dazzle them with my smile. By the time that I discovered that they were daughters of Emily Hawkins I had forgotten all about the calf. I was all smiles and trying to be helpful, Then I came to realize Tinker’s presence when I re­ ceived a playful bunt in the rear. That recalled me to the immediate business of the moment and broke the enchantment cast by two very lovely young ladies. I made a lunge for Tin­ ker . . wallowed along . .'grabbed him by the tail and then flopped down in the mire and water. The only consol­ ation I had was that I captured Tin­ ker. I lay there in abject disgrace as the car drove off. I could still hear them laughing as they topped the hill at the other side of my own front gate. There I was, lying down in the water with one hand grasping a kicking leg of a very unruly calf. Strange as it may seem, I saw the humor in it and laughed myself. Back -up the road I escorted Tink­ er. I guess he must have felt the mood I was in because he made very little motions to try and get away. I took great care to see that the front gate was locked and I made sure that Tinker was put away in a box-stall. The clothes were changed -and I went on to get at the seeding, Then came the noon meal. Mrs., Phil in a plainly mystified way, told me that Peter Hawkins’ two nieces had called up wanting to know if I were all right. I had to tell Mrs. Phil the whole story of Tinker, and my fall. Then she said ... “I hope you didn’t make a fool of yourself in front of those two young ladies.” For once I was speechless. THE LARGEST BARN The Saskatoon Star-Phoenix re­ ports the following regarding the world’s largest barn: This barn was situated on the old "Smith ranch,” 30 miles southeast of Alsask on the south bank of the Sas­ katchewan River, The barn itself was 440 feet long, 160 feet wide and 90 feet high. The barn was built in the year 1915 by a rancher of the name of Smith. He was an American who set­ tled in Manitoba and moved from there in 1915 to establish the ranch. The barn was built to accommodate 1,700 head of horses or cattle or 5,000 sheep and was built so that he could feed 440 head of cattle at one time by a single turn of a lever which he had fixed so that he could work it without leaving the house. Smith cleared 1,000 acres of brush on the river flat for the growing of alfalfa which he fed to his stock. Smith died some two or three, years after the barn was built and before all arrange­ ments were completed for the carry­ ing out of his many ideas. He had his own irrigating plant which watered the alfalfa, which, in turn, filled his huge lofts. Alfalfa was his1 big crop, 'He had a pump which would pump a two-foot stream of water at one time, Mr. Smith was considered one of the greatest men who ever stepped into this district. His death was consid­ ered a calamity. —Supplied to us by Walter Tisdale,. Loverne, Sask. The glad springtime has come again, How happy the. old world looks!

PHIL OSIFER OF LAZY MEADOWS By Harry J. Boyle "TINKER CALF” iT____________ Jessie, the brindle cow, presented us with a calf this year. We call him Tinker, because of his ability to tink­ er with everybody elsc’s business but his own. He's the jumpiest bundle of calf nerves that I’ve ever seen. If you happened to be around the stable when the door was left open for a split second too long some time then you would know what I really meant by that. This morning I open­ ed the door, and then . . . ZIP . . , there was a streak of calf going by me. He flicked his heels in my gen­ eral direction and high-tailed for the great open Now the yard fence pulled back driving sited. I had two boards nail­ ed on there, but for some unknown reason pulled them off to mend some­ thing. Tinker saw the opening and nimbly hopped through. Being of a much less nimble condition, I had to scramble through the bars of the gate. By the time I had retrived my hat and a general assortment of • articles from, my smock pocket, Tinker had mjide the top of the hill at the end of the laneway and paused to look back spaces. corner post of the barn* has sagged a little, and from the cornet- of the l- If your home is in the country or in a town or village not served by a Community Water Supply System, a Duro Pump will supply running water under pressure to all parts of your home, barns, dairy-build­ ings, etc. Without running water your family cannot have bathroom facilities and other conveniences so nec­ essary to their comfort, health and daily work.
