We make it our right, to meet here

To see the groont• and the bride,
And like all the rest, with a stuckout
chest,
Proudly to sit by her side
And though she is his, and we know
that she is,
We hope that he'll proudly share
And may her bright face, be welcom-

And have a nice home over there.
Like's, drifting cloud, we are very
proud,
Viola, to have you on this line,
And we hope each day, as you work
away,
That you'll come and see us some
time.
Now Lorne, my lad, we know you are
glad,
To think your cold rides are o'er,
But still when you're old, and you're
bones feel the cold,
You can think of the years before.
And when your young lad,

And says "May I have the
Just answer "yes you can
For I was young once, of

And we know Viola feels, as she
cooks the meals,
That she is the luckiest girl she
could be,
And maybe some day, to her girl
she will say,
"I hope you find a man like me."
Now Lorne and Viola, while you are
here in your place,
Our gratitude, we want you to see,
So now is our chance, to leave :.

Of all those in the community,
So we ask you this evening, these

CURING HAY ON STAKES
A simple device for aiding in cur-
ing hay, is being used with a Brea:
deal of success. in Northern Ontario,
It consists of a nine foot pole or
stake with a cross -bar three feet
long, The stake should be about three
inches thick at the butt, and is sharp-
ened at both ends. About three feet
from its thicker end a two inch hole
is drilled through at right angles to
hold the cross -piece, which should be
of a size to slide half its Iength
through the hole and fit snugly there.
When in use, the stake is planted
firmly upright butt end down in the
ground to a depth of eighteen indica.
If the ground is hard a three inch'
auger or a crowbar can be used to
make a hole with a minimum of time
and effort. The cross -piece is put in
place in the hole and the device is
ready.
IThe coils are built on these stakes
instead of on the ground. The way
to do this is to wrap a small forkful
of hay around the stake just above!
the cross -piece. This forms a base
for the coil. Then the remainder is

after allowance is made for settling
a good cap of hay covers, the upper
tip, The sides are raked down a
little, and the hay needs no further
handling until it is drawn in. The
coils never need be turned out to
dry, and the hay cures with a mint-
mum of loss in quality in wet weather
as it does not mould.
The hay is held high enough off

To put up a good crop of hay, ap-
proximately forty stakes are required
per acre.
