Yes, that frigid wave that passed over
last week was hard on many and espe-
tally those who had disposed of only a
part of their sweet corn. The standing
fodder is nearly ruined, and instead OF
harvesting it some will turn their cattle
into the field and let them eat what
they will of it on the ground. 1t was
not so cold here as to freeze apples nor
pumpkins in the field.
The hoghorn potato, so called, was
raised by some of our neighbors in my
early teens and has not become extinc,
to this day. Last spring we planted a
few of them for novelty more than any
thing else, and were surprised at the
way they turned out. There were but a
very few small ones and not rotten one
in the lot. Our women folks think that
for baking there is nothing quite equal
to the old long, dark complexioned hog.
horn potato, and it is very doubtful il
there is another potato in being that
was cultivated 60 years ago or more.
A. S. Brooks is on the sick list and is

dealing kindly with the doctor, there

his list birthday on the 25th inst. and
his health is perfection itself, which he
attributes in large measure to clear
conscience and correct living.
Speaking of doctors, there is one in
New York who advocates the idea OF
eating our food raw instead of cooking
it. One lady on hearing the article read
said she would like to see that doctor
sit down to a square meal of pork and
beans, brown bread and pastry, and all
served up in that style.
One man thinking he would like a
bird dinner, but not raw one, went

Rather lucky gun is the one that man
carries; and woe to the game that comes
within range of it.
