The farmer has had busy sea-
son the past six weeks and we have
seen but little of him-unless it was
a fellow driving like mad to the
creamery or coming to town in the
evening in order to secure some re-
pairs to his machinery. The hay
crop was immense and everyone on
the farm was pressed into service
in it's making. The youngsters
drove the team on the fork and also
the rake. The girl closed her piano
and turned out to assist, even to
driving a team on the mower, while
the good old mother hustled around
and got the meals for as hungry set
as ever broke bread and drank cOf-
fee out of a saucer. The farmers
wife and daughter are not afraid to
work.
