Farmers, Secure Your Hay.

If the past is safe guide We can be JUS
titled in preparing for severe winter, and
as is well known by long residents Of this
Territory, fuel is one of the most difficult
things toprocurc as well as expensive, and
in view of hay having proved so useful
as a substitute for coal and wood, we would
suggest to our farmers that they make am
pie provision for both stock and fuel by
putting tip d sufficient quantity Of hay for
both purposes. There is an abundance to
be secured at but little cost beyond few
days labor. The old fashioned billiards.
may be repeated and how much safer one
feels If they have sufficient supply Of hay
for stock, no matter how severe the winter
may be, and when it can DO 30 easily OBJ
tanned, farmers will be guilty Of negli-
gence if they fail to provide themselves
with the necessary article.
