yellow book, much less than the modern
almanac, states that it was not designed
for any one sect but for Christians of all

For March. third month, 1926" the old
calendar opens:
when verdure clothes the fertile vale.
And blossoms deck the spray
And fragrance breathes in every gale.
How sweet the vernal day.
HaFk-how the feathered warblers sing,
'Tis Natures cheerful voice;
Soft music halls the lovely spring.
And woods and fields rejoice"
Then follow weather representations for
the month: March ?, fair followed by
snow on March s; March H. fair and mild
windy and perhaps rain and snow i'm third
week: snow and rain on Friday. March 81
Opposite the calendar appear these March
notes to farmers: See that your tools
are in order Sow oats as soon
/ as the ground is fit TO pillow. Plow
your garden and sow early rad
ishes. beets, cabbages, etc. Plant early
peas, beans, potatoes and vines; they make
a cheap. and wholesome diet Stick your
peas before they begin to run Give your
cattle plenty of salt when you first turn
them out to grass. Roll and burn your logs
soon, if you have not done it.
Come, Friend Wise. try to agree with
your friends and neighbors to abolish the
use of whisky at log-rollings. l know some
neighbors who have done so, and they do
twice the work in the same length of time. "

a relish, between politics. Finally, couldn't
