custom TO disappear from public gaze
about six o'clock, and when they came
floating down the stairs in fiimy,
diaphanOus clouds of white, the halls
were well filed with impatient cavaliers

women waiting TO see. Then the sis
tiers would 60 into the dining-room and
have some light refreshments, with
glass of iced tea-and no matter how
tOrrid the heat or how flushed and
dragged other women might look, they
were inviting pictures of all that was
ever fresh, cool and fragrant. The two
fluffy blonde heads would be huddled
close together a minute as they studied
the bill of fare, and virtuous matrons at
other tables, tanning vigorously, would
sniff and say: "Ail for effect. They
know that supper bill by heart. 1t

bottom of this public display of sisterly
devotion and harmony and in spite of
occasional tiffs and differences, there

saw it all in the flash of a second, the

A SUCCESSFUL FARMER.

Within three miles of the town 90
ing eastward is the farm of Mr.. W.
Creamer, one of the municipalities
largest and most prosperous mixed
farmers. Mr.. Dreamer came to this
country in 1850 and settled on q Dor
ton of the land which comprises his
present enormous farm of ] ESQ acres.
In common with many others of a
similar period he experienced all the
hardships and difficulties common to
the absence of railway and market ia
cilities. In no wise daunted. by en-
ergy, industry and indomitable will
he has been able to surmount all OBJ
stacles and has achieved an unpar-
alleled success. and is known through
out the district as one of its preemi-
nent farmers. His operations extend
over 1880 acres, two sections (the
thought alone of so much land makes
the eastern farmer dizzy; SEQ acres
Of this is broken and the remainder
is excellent pasture land and wood.
This harvest he took off n crop OF
SEQ acres Of wheat and 200 of other
grains. Four hundred acres are
plowed and ready for wheat next
spring. Mr.. Dreamer is. as has been
stated. a mixed farmer of no mean
proportions. having at the present
time 40 horses, 60 head of cattle and
so pigs. The most modern farm
buildings are found on his premises.
the main building being a barn SIS
feet square on n stone foundation
containing stabling for 1G horses and
a large number of cattle The loft
is stored with 20 loads of sheaf oats
for feed and tons of hay; there is
also a cutting box. Another building
of large dimensions is the granary. in
which after teaming large quantities
to market he still has stored 5000
bushels of wheat. \ crushing ma
chine is in the building. There are a
number of lesser buildings contain
ing chicken house. pig pens and cattle
sheds. The farm residence is a hand

portions. in connection with il is a

is a well in the stables and a never
failing spring situate in a bluff, which
never freezes. Surrounded by a thick
bluff of poplars. extending in a semi
circle to the west. north and east.
the winter storms are broken and ac-
