We have been favored with an unusual
number of days of good sleighing the
present winter and spring-about l4o al
ready, and the prospect is for six weeks
of slsighing in April. 1t looks u I''tie
discouraging for hay. Some of our
farmers are obliged TO buy hay. whi'e
others more fortunate have more than
enough TO meet the winters demand.
With the aid OF roots and meal. The
majority of our farmers have managed to
keep their stock in very good condition
without purchasing hay.
Business OF all kinds is very dull,
though we look for busy time as soon
rs this great amount OF snow disappears.
and farmers commence their Springs
work.

interesting High School nj the Corner.
