DREHER, Pa, April 27.-With
so much dull weather that is adverse
to farming, it isn't any wonder that
the average farmer feels trifle blue,
but it will be more congenial by and
by, or we hope it will. No spring
ploughing done, no oats sowed and
the ground is too soft and wet to
even repair fence. 1t will soon be
six months since we began feeding
stock in the stable and the prospect
for pasture is not encouraging. Our
weatherman says, Just wait until
April 2S," the date of the eclipse,
and then We'll have better weather
and | guess we'll wait.
