WILL FILL THE BARNS WITH HAY.
 IA cold, wet May fills the barns with hay" is the old adage, so if we are without the sunshine, perhaps there may be compensation for the farmers in that way: for there is also another proverb, ''There is no loss without .some gain.'' At all events there is no use in being pessimfstic, for we have to accept whatever comes, whether sunshine or shadow.
