anything up and it can't come up.
The gardens are burnt up, no vege-
tables to cook, and harvest season
at hand. That means with us, lots
of hands to feed and nothing to
boil, makes meat, bread and pota-
toes fly. with butter milk to wash
it down. We must be thankful we
haveIthat, for by the present out
look We may not have that much.
The potatoes cannot come up and the
pastures are drying up, so the COWS

water, as the branches have gone
dry. The oat crop generally suf-
fered for rain and are not as good
as they would have been could we
have had rain.
