KEIR GETS MORN- ING MAIL CONTRACT Wilfred Buckle relinquishes the job of carrying the early morning mail to Wingham on February 28th. Monday, March 2nd, Alex. Keir commenced the task as our new mail courier. When tenders were called on the termination of the old contract, Mr. Buckle failed to .tender as lie finds the managing of two jobs, the other with Thompson Bros., a bit too much to handle. Mail is piked up at the Teeswater Post' Office and taken to Wingham to catch the early train, which leaves there in the neighbour- hood of 6.20 a.m. In the winter this means exceptionally early rising as often heavy roactS are encountered, and every effort must be made to get through. Mr. Keir's contract was accepted, and as stated' before, he commenced his new duties March 2nd.—Tees- water News. INFORMATION ABOUT CROSSBRED HOGS There are tumors afloat to the ef- fect that farmers will not be paid any grade or bonus on spotted hogs, or crossbred hogs, hogs carrying odd markings. An enquiry was made to ,the Prov- incial office of the Ontario Federa- tion of Agriculture and the following information was received through that office from Mr. C. C. J.yster of the Federal Marketing Service, who is in charge of hog grading for the prov- ince of Ontario. There is no discrimination against crossbred or spotted hogs, provided they clear up and show no spot on the carcass after the scalding; or in ,other words their is no skin or hair discolor- ation left after they have been scraped. If crossbred or spotted hogs have the necessary confirmation but still show discoloration they are graded not low- er than B.1.

When the days are stormy, And the nights are long— Just gather around your warm fire- side And sing a little song. No one, need be lonely, With so many things to do; Invite your neighbour in for tea If they do not think of you. Just play the good Samaritan And split a little \ wood; It will not spoil your appetite But only do you good. Then get out the violin And have a little spin; Although there are better things It isn't any great sin. When Spring comes again, And the sun is shining bright; We will not forget the jolly times On a cold and stormy night. ST.
