hotter days have happened along this sum
mer. 1t is gradually cooling now-paving

we have been sweltering. The hot. dry
weather has done wonders for corn-what
the frost spared, filing and ripening the
ears so that it is about ready to cut now.
What freaky seasons we have of late-win-
ter chopped off in March. a cold spring all
summer and hot weather in the fall!
