 SOME COUNTRY MUSINGS
 Now the porcine fumes5of the fatty iowl whets the farmers appetite as he snips off an armful O wood before breakfast. If the day is drizzly the celibate dude brings in his knitting work and ahufles up around the fire, where we all knit lace and talk over the pointers in Acting State Treasur- CT Henry's speech to the associated dairy men. The average farmer in the creamery swim around the bowldar- crowned parish hills never admits his depreciation of thor oughbred stock over grades, save perhaps in experimental knowledge. There are enough high handed amateur agricultur- ists in almost every creamery section who like to show their success to the neighbor- ing slow-dollar patron who keeps from 5 to 10 ordinary grade dairy COWS, that yield him less than $40 apiece per year. It al- ways was and always will be foible of human nature to attempt to show some one else that they are ssbehind the light house."
 Rose and White on the Andover route are working up to ssthe top" raising thor< oughbreds. This doesn't look .as formida- ble to the young patron as to the farmer who began to ''creep" 40 years ago and is creeping still, and feels pretty nearly as proud of his high grade Jersey that makes from eight to ten spaces of cream per day. Some are waking up to the fact thai 1t would be far better to feed more ensilage than to s'stnff" with meal kill COW or cure.
 It is only "a triaep that raises or. lowers the standard of cream and butter and af- fects the receipts. However, if three or four pioneer patrons have dropped out of the Andover creameFF 1t is having con- stant applications, two recently from the south part of fhe Coventry angle. There would be less murmnfihg among such as market their cream X . creamery skim- milk route could be established, then the patron could realize three or four cents per quart for his skim milk instead of feeding 1t to pigs and calves, for which indirect re- turn he doesn't trouble himself to make much account. srs
 The nudging that MT. Henry gave the creamery men in allowing untidiness about the bovine premises waSn't felt by any farmer on the Andover sroute or within this section. O. no! this pointer was of course intended for some other part of the state But the farmers labor is none too amply rewarded, and the landlady who of- fers so much condolence for the hard fates of some of them should not vince at pay ing his prices.
 There is tip, however, in the science of therapeutics, SO cheap that it can be given away. Yesterday. as listened to the message of the blue-bird, it occurred to me, as hadn't met this bird for some weeks, that ever and anon I should remind her of her changed appearance, therefore saw it my duty to tell her visa wis, how old and wrinkled and forlorn and ready to die she did look but whether it was the effect of my disparaging words or the train gong that made heR want to drop into g cavity in the earth, of course know not Eor care, 70 aaa seosas see the dead tur- quoise of the pinmage grow moro dead and every ornithologAcaf fiber wilt while starting for the nest.
 But it takes Dr. D. w. Dimock of Brock ton to handle serio-comie case, as report ed in the city daily, where druggist had purposely sold tartaric acid instead of ar senic to an almost excusable would be sui eide (the husband of the woman making the hired girl 8 referee in all domestic af- fairs). But don't know of any pharma- cist who likes to sell pure drugs as we'll as Druggist Phillips. If you purchase vial of hydrastics it will be well filtered of Cape God mud. He distributes tracts, tablets, and all the things one might need on the way from darkest Coventry to darkest Bombay.
 The poet slaps the big man of the little town, Whom all the people spoon
 With sweet assorted gush, How he likes to own trotter or plug, To beat whose wondrous record
 Maud s. would have'to push"
 Our town gets boomed pretty often late ly for it's fast steppers, owned by Barber, Hull, Phillips, and half dozen others, which have lately beat anything on record within the racers world. Every is waiting to hear reports from the next trial of speed on the ice park.
 The Register is dated South Coventry Conn.,, and its columns should contain more complete reports from the head func tionaries of the several societies, leagues, and bene6ciaries, instead of their being all sent to the ''Union Signal, :" "Home, ' and other papers. Mrs. Rev. F. o. give us, please, half column of local temper. ance matter from your department of the work.
