and in several instances the parents
have not had them and there is where
the trouble comes in. However, the
disease is Of a mild type.
The VIM. G. Drake farm has been
rented by Ernest Brown, who will
occupy the same April lst.
The old saw Of that you must have
half your meat and hay on Feb. ID,
can be verified now as that dute Is
past And they are fortunate who
can truthfully say they ''stand pat''
with the old saying.
"H. L." says in your last that a
young chap Of Milford had a fall and,
''came within a quarter of an inch OF
breaking his nose.u That was a

the ground that he was unable to
secure the necessary help to gather
his ice crop. And the tail is going

the Newton Record are sorry to see

Corn yet to husk in this town

crib, and by husking as he needs it,
is saved the cost Of building one
But how about husking when the
mercury is near zero.

The mite at Dayton Depue's on
night last week brought out a crow
