dozen railroad ties on bis place. Fred is
one OF our NEST successful farmers, max
ing a study of the scientific principles in
volVed in his occupation, and does practi-
cally all his own work. BY correct liv-

he has managed to keep young and
hearty, and bids fair TO round out the
other forty years and reaching the century
mark in good condition.
An expert hunter of woodchucks who
for years has made study of the habits
of the animal that is supposed to tip of
the weather on Csndelmas day. asserts
that the ground hog calendar has been
shot to pieces by the contrary perform
ances of the winter season. Wood
chucks are now gamboling DER the lea"
said the hunter. They are supposed to
be snugly esconced far underground at
this season of the year, but instead of p r
forming their usual stunt, the chucks are
abroad looking for green grass or budding
trees. Unless the groundhogs are
wonderfully mistaken in weather con-
ditions, residents of this loca lity may now
abandon their bridge parties aud return
to the croquet ground
