 The hog disease which we pro- nounced measles, while not so ma lignant. is still advancing on us from below, but we hope it will not reach us, at any rate before the warm weather. While we are building stock sheds we ought to consider the hog, for they enjoy good shelter and a dry bed as much or more than any of the quadru- peds we know of; but don't con fine them too closely.
 Farmers are beginning to hustle now. March has caught us all nap ping or nodding, as it has been too dry or too wet to blow most of the fall and winter. So the thing to do now is to start in with good teams and blows to break and har- TOW thoroughly as we go, for fl won't pay lo grow clods or a half crop of anything, as we need a bus tar this time, sure. Our boss has bought six tons of fertilizer and eX- pects to go over twice with the dis tributor, the last application to b' in excess of the first. The lot ma nure has been scattered broadcast all along, as it was mado. He will strive to keep a dust blanket spread over all the land lo be cultivated So with the best of seed and an inn plicit trust in a Divine Providence we cuI 'r the field.

boy. He spoke abruptly.
NO, I'm ashamed of myself"

real warmth of affection he put his
hands on Kenneth's shoulders and
looked at him.

Good Godl" said the father
Pooh, Nice row there would be if

Charles Nelson leader of society, has
other plans for her only son! You
needn't look at me like that Mother
