field. Walking the hillside, with
paper in hand, at intervals he
laughed, and then wept and cried
as he penned the ludicrous, and hui
morous lines.
AS we left the old bridge, we met
an old fiddler with withered limb.
in his wheel chair. He played the
tender music we associate with
some of Burns poems. Two beau
tiful pairs of birds, tom tits and
chaffinches came at his call, and
fed from his bands, Jim and Kittie,
Norman and Madeline.
Burns birthplace is cottage,
amazingly small and low. We en-
ter by dilapidated door. They
call it "clay biggin' and tell us it
was built by his father. The tax on
doors and windows was SO high.
that only one door and one window
could be afforded. The antiquated
dwelling has four rooms: The
"byre" where the horse and COW
were kept side by side; the "gran~
ary" with it's grain and fail; the
"but' or larder which might be
called the pantry: and last of all,
the ben or sitting room. 1t is an
interesting revelation of the times
in which the poet lived. There is a
concealed bed for the boys, where
four cuddled doom, sleeping cross
ways. There was also the bed where
the child was born. In such hum
BILE place Providence gave to the
world one of it's most richly endow-
ed souls, and here was the very bed
in which he was born. There were
innumerable relics, the mothers

manuscripts, in his own hand, which

as so often they do. Old Alloway
Kirk, ruined even in the time of
Tam O'Shanter, is still remarkably
preserved. The belfry arch, so
queer, and the bell itself are still
there above what was once the
roof. Here Burns father is bur-
led. Burns was the poet Of liberty
and brotherhood. Burns, Bruce,
Wallace, and before them the Bar
ones at Runnymede, these and many
others, were r1ghting our battles,
that led to Lexington and Concord,
and Appomattox. We cannot give
too high place to the Ayrshire
poet as the prophet and exponent of
the time, when "Man to man, the
world Ger, will brithers be for all
that"

Precipitation totaling 20 inch in
the Bismarck territory, 80 inch at
Garrison and half an inch ct Un-

and shortly after midnight brought
cheering prospects to the central por-
ton Of the state.

Tuesdays moisture, which was d.
vided about evenly between sleet and
rain. makes the total precipitation
since the first OF the year only .os
inch below the average precipitation
record at Bismarck.
All Sinks Into Ground
This means more than the figure
indicates, Bavendick points out, since
practically Ill Of the moisture fell
in the last six weeks In the form Of
rains and will be retained In the
ground to condition It for the spring
planting. Much Of the snowfall which
occurs In January and February Is
lost through running off In thaws and
evaporation and does not prove Of
such direct benefit when the moisture
Is needed for pasture and crops.
March and April both have had
precipitation records much above nor.
NAL. according to Bavendick.
Accurate records as to how far the
recent moisture has penetrated into
the ground were not available ct the
bureau Wednesday morning.
Bavendick would not venture q pre-
diction as to when grass win be avail
able for pasture but said that It will
need to be warmer before there win

Unless there Is more rain. pasture
conditions win remain poor, Martell
states, but the rain to date has made
