Sabbath at Home Farm, the guest oi
Geo. w. Drinnin.
Farmers generally are better satisfied
with the present price Of pork than the.
have been for some time previous.
The average farmer hereabouts is no,
slow to admit that the sheep ranch just
north Of the city is great blessing t.

Last Friday morning We saw peact
buds examined at Home Farm wher,
they were found to be uninjured, ant
gave good promise to bear fruit.
George Drinnin has pet hen sitting
on eggs in the barn Office, and today sh'
will have accomplished the feat of sitting
faithfully the allotted three weeks, ,
part of the time during the prevalence o
blizzard.
The soft air from the south Thursda!
caused the snowbanks along tho east an.
west roads to melt and start in littl
rivnlets for the lower places, when abou
o'clock in the evening, wind changes
to northwest making ice in many places
which made it very dificult for barefoo
horses to travel.
In cOnversing with several farmers "
find that listing corn is creeping up, Of
the heretofore exclusive custom OF check
ing the corn in. It seems that ever,
farmer who listed some last year vii
increase the acreage this year, being con
vinced that they get a little moro corl
to the acre, and We believe that as sool
as a majority of the farmers can accom-
plish the art of cultivating properly, tn
first time through, then will the down
fall OF checking begin. -c
Another old land mark gone where th'
wOOdbine twineth. We refer to the oil
building abOut two miles east Of the cit!
that furnished home and shelter To-
Martin Reagan and family for so man,
years. Mr.. Ripley, the present owner o
the farm, has caused the old building Il
be RACED to the ground. and nothing
remains to show where the old hOus,
once stood, except the heavy sills and al
indentation in the ground where thu
cellar had once been. Mr.. Ripley has 4
new house built about one year since
which is about fifty feet north OF the ole
site, and is model residence. Many
old time travellers there are who can tes
tify to the hospitality they received in
the old shack during Mr.. Reagan's ad
ministration.
