We have no kick coming groundhog-
ward.
The weather has been all we could have
expected or even desired for February.
A slight covering of snow has kept the
wheat in good temper, Notwithstanding
some severe freezing. The ice crop has
materiaized and has been harvested.
Several days of good shedding enabled
the farmers to get their usual amount of
logs to the mill for lumber to keep up
general repairs and when the snow left
the pixies, the corn wagons got busy (that
is when the elevator men could get cars)
and thus general winter work goes on.
Yesterday word was telephoned to the
farmers having corn to market; to 60 to
hauling as two cars had been set off.
To give you an idea what happened,
they had to call them off before night.
/ passed three teams as came into town
from the farm in the afternoon and in
terviewed each team as to how much he
was hauling. The first said 80 bushels,
the second 80 and the third IS bushels.
Two horse teams with such loads! bat it
is possible because Of good pixies and lev
ell roads. Neither wagon refer to had
a sublock on it. l might state the price
Of corn in market is SO cents. Hogs are
easily worth 81 per hundred; pity all the
boys could not have plenty of hogs to
feed the corn to and drive to market. l
never knew greater effort being made
to save the pigs and thousands of them
are already in evidence.
You should see the houses they are
born in. Matched pine built on scantling
that you can hitch horse to them and
pull wherever wanted and large enough
to hold a mother sow and from to IL
small pigs. These houses are first, proof
floor of matched lumber and door to fit
like your dwelling; from 6 to 20 may be
seen on a farm, always presenting novel
sight to tenderfoot, and cost fron IS
to $3.50. They will last 20 years or long
er If properly cared for. Does it pay?
Yes, if you want to make success of
pig rearing and hog raising. Then think
of placing one or more of these splendid
houses in your poultry lot about the LIST
of May for the birds to be secured in from
rains or varmints. Certainly it pays.
Our people are always busy, during
January the M. E. church held protract-
ed meeting followed by the M. P. church

to our people. The Masonic order gave
banquet and social in January and had
