Sunday week was very rain.
day and few country chnrch doors
were open | guess. None open here.
i1 was preaching day at ,he Prcshy-
terrain church bat no one atten p,ed
to 20. Rev. Mr.. Whi,e has bad d
bad time for preaching every time
here this year.
There wns considerable gardening
done the past week but tte subsoll
was 30 wet many were held back
more than they would otherwise
have been. The onions planted
recently began putting out roots g.
rapidly that they were pushed out Of
the ground.
The soil getting suitable the farm
els got out their plows, gears, team:
and were out in the fields early pillow
ing, and as result considerable
plowing was done. Hope is scarcely
ever dead in a tiiier of the soil.
Guano hauling took a squirt laet
week and a number Of tons were
hauled out. do not know to what
extent it will be used l have been
of the opinion that commercial fer
tilizsrs used on good land, not to-
much land, and worked good, it would
pay, but | believe farmers depend
100 much On guano alone.
Several farmers sowed some oats
last week and some put guano under
them. My opinion is it is 80 late it
is rather risky. [ have had few to
pay me sowed late on fertile, most
alluvial soil, but on dry upland they
did bad. However, they may chit"
this year. Oats are going to be
needed.
A certain bad condition in the
system of horses and mules seems to
be generally prevalent. They have
kind of itching humor, can be seen
biting themselves and the hair is
coming off by turfs leaving great
naked places. These places swell
sometimes or rise in great whelks as
they are coming, then they are tender
to touch, then the hair falls off.
Many may have the appearance that
they are being tanned. Some peo.
pie attribute the cause to bad, unclean
stables, but why is everybody s
stables worse than ever before.
Cattle will soon be safe so far as
the cold winter will effect them but
some are in bad condition, cx-
tremely thin" and show neglect,
while others show good attention.
Last year was a. good one TO save
roughnesa but it seems there are cat
tie which are strangers to feed. Some
people never attempt to save feed
for cattle expecting them to live on
what they can pick up running out
Where there is feed and with all the
up-to-dateness some people do no
provide shelters for cattle. Buj
shelters aids feed. They are good
