Cutting the Winters Fire.
In the early DAYS of May, Brian shout

OF men (helping EeighbOrs) goes TO the
peat bog to cut his winters firing The
turf is dug Though We call it cut twelve
inches deep by LOur and BY four, out or
the black soft peat Layer after layer
is cut OFF the turf bank, as far as eight,
twelve, or in good boys, even twenty feet
deep. Each succeeding layer is blacker
and denSer, and makes a better turf than
the previous LAYER. With one thrust of
the double-bladed spade (the blades are
set at right dngleS) he cuts clean turf
and throws It over his shoulder onto the
bank above. There a man with a. turf
barrow adds it to his load and wheels the
fresh turfs of to free ground, where they
are laid singly to dTy-fOr at least two

In the middle of the day, when all hands
stop work. they unite the wrappers in
which they carried with them their but
tered bread and bottles of milk, and, sit
ting around in a circle, they make
merry meal.
A couple of days after being cut and
spread the turf are footed" that is,
placed on end; three or four leant to-
Cether. A week later, being fairly dry.
they are built into turf clamps-lOng
little stacks-aud in another week or so
they are perfectly dried and are built into
one great stack, in which they are kept
till ready to be- carted home and built in
a stack by the side OF the house.
Deep down in the bog, oak and fir some
centuries or a thousand years old are
found. The fir IS full of resin, and burns
with q be autiful blaze. The old tree

handled axe made specially for the pur-
pose, win in the sun and brought home
