Der of horses in this village, has pnrchas-
ed hi, supply of hay in Canada, costing
him S25 u ton. delivered at the depot at
South Paris This advantage, with the
low price of corn. will enable him To
winter his horses ut a cost no greater
than last year. II is generally estimated
that if man should purchase, Tor cash,
all the hay and corn required TO winter q
stock of cattle or horses, it would cost no
more money than last year. But nothing
makes a talmci feel so poor rs to see his
barn only half iull of hay TO commence
winter with, although when he figures
up the full value Of his crops he finds
himself in as good pecuniary condition
to 90 through the winter rs in years
when the hay crop has been large.
