| Pleasure parties have been the custom
among our village ladies during the past
week. They are conducted in this way :;
Ladies who have access To team invite
some friend who has not and party is
made up and day set for ride through
the country. At this delightful season
it is healthful and profitable and ali
return home happier for the recreation
and pleasure these excursions afford
The hay crop is proving to be greater
than was at first supposed. Many far
mers will more than fill their barns 1t
is better by far to be so than for all, or
nearly all, to be little short. In the
spring many have to buy small quaint
ties to feed their teams on during spring
work. That is generally the case with
quite large number of the small far
mers. If that is avoided by the ee
yield this season so much the better.
Now is the time to cut the hay. 1t
must be remembered that the barns will
not look so full the first of next May, as
they do now, after six months of feeding.
1t is reported that large quantities of
grass will not be cut in the Dead river
valley as there is very large amount of
old hay in the barns, and the numbering
business last winter did not consume as
much as is generally the case, conse-
quently the local market was dull and
much of last years cropis on hand.
Last Saturday was evidently wo-
mans day in Arson Grange. For the
first time since its organization regular
meeting was held without man being
present. 1t was fourteen women who
carried the work along in most credit
able manner. Mrs. George Savage took
the masters place and the other offices
were all creditably filled. The first in
order was singing by the choir, then
followed the question: "What Consti.
tutes a Happy Homer discussed by
Mrs. T. NJ. Steward, Mrs. L. c. Robin
son and Mrs. Parker Paine; reading,
Mrs. D. NJ. Norton; question, "What
Will Kill Spider Lice on Hens?" asked
by Mrs. Savage and answered by Mrs.
Robinson, Mrs. Steward and Miss Lora
Moore; singing, choir; question, $40
Women Want to Vote and Why?" dis
cussion opened by Sister Bunker, fol-
lowed by remarks by Sisters Steward,
Millay and Norton. The meeting was
very interesting throughout.
