A hog on head scafold in barn is a
little unusual for her swineship, but this is
where one belonging to Chas. Lancaster
was found one day last week. Having
crawled through very small hole she
obtained access to the hay NOW, which
inclined toward said scaffold; observing
the motto Onward and Upward" she
gained the heights only to find herself on
floor of loose boards attended at every
step with danger of falling to the floor
beneath. Trembling with fright persua-
sion was not to be needed and not till a
suitable carriage in the form of a rack was
provided was her majesty moved from her
perilous position to her proper quarters in
the pig pen.

Canaan Grange celebrated its fourth
anniversary on June 9th, although the
weather in the forenoon was very dis
couraging. The third and fourth degrees
were conferred on a class of seven and
the harvest feast was partaken of by a
large number of members. The after
noon was given up to an entertaining
program, the question "Resolved that
farmers buy too much western feed and
raise too little npon their own FARMS"
was an interesting topic and was dis
cussed by quite number of the members.
The opening address by Worthy Master
Foster and paper by the lecturer were
mertorious, showing careful thought and
deserve a place in the newspaper. Reel
tations, readings, songs and music by the
grange choir all showed choice selections,
which were as ever appreciated by all.
As this grange expects to entertain the
Pomona June IS, the next two weeks will
be busy time for all.
