just as i had got nicely settled down to m sewing in came partner with come fancy work for me hi the form of grain bags to mend of all the pesky jobs with needle and thread mending bags is about the worst quite an easy matter if the holes arc conveniently near the top but to every one that finds that way there are half a dozen that have holes away down near the bottom where no sowing machine can possibly get at them to the wretched things have to bo done by hand pinned and boated patched on the inside and darned on the right and it is no good trying to save time and make a quick job of it otherwise thr first time they are used the mend comes apart and the grain trickles out willi the result that one loses a certain amount of grain and the work has to ba done over again oil ytyi x know bcauxa i speak from experience and it isnt the first time i have discovered wisdom in the policy of the longest way round being the ahortcat way homo of course brain bags to mend means part- ner is cleaning grain preparatory to sell ing i guoss i shouldnt grumble as another man might hove called on me to assist with the fanning mill but i was not required since he rigged up a kind of box on tho

uils time of the year and whatever there is in store for us this yuletldc our thoughts still persist in going back over tlie years and visualising our cele brations in the days of our youth and later uia delightful family gatherings whin we all went home for christmas i recall too one or two ghrlstmascs out in uie wcsl wc were comparatively strangers and no friends of our own within three days journey nearly all the neighbors had relations in or near the district bub there were a few fel lows batching it alone on their respec tive farms and they appeared to be a friendless as we were and so partner and i set to work and determined to ive those bachclora hoys a real old- fashioned christmas at least as far as we were able threo of them decided to come there was a little hunched backed bcouman wiid had been injured in tlie mines years before was none too clean and presented a striking contrast to our second guest a great big strap ping fellow who hailed from the states and was about as immaculate as it is passible for a prairie farmer to be tlw third was a damardo boy who talked solnuch he couldnt lane the habit and kept it up even in ills sleep truly a strange gutherhig but yet every one was good tempered and 1 dont think anyone around spent a happier clirlstmas day than wc did that year what a fuss those boys made over the mtbls and how delightful it was to me them co appreciative of our simple preparations we were all of us hard up we had been eaten up by grass hoppers and haw we wwre going to get through the winter wc hardly knew but still the prairie is a next year country and the spirit of uie west indomluablc so anyone coming upon ua suddenly would surely have thought us 111assorlcd com pany but apparently without a care in til world vtar now years wo were invited out to one of the neighbors which appear ed to be a regular family rcunloi fortfot just how m an j- were there but crtalnly far more than the house would comfortably hold the sons and

all have our own way of celebrating but should wo not do our beat to avoid tho modern trend of commercialising christ mas and keep before our children the trim meaning of the season in all its fclitfphclty pcrliaps 11 is only personal prejudice but i always dislike the grcct- hljf kerry christmas happy christmas i think la much to be pnf erred since we axe safe in wishing unit to anyone but

basis per piece or bunch or by purchases of on area supporting christmas tree stock outright after being cut by uie buyer the buyer looks only for trees of per fect farm for that reason trees grown on pasture lands are best suited for uie pur pose fir trees and black spruce are preferred white spruce is not desirable because of an unpleasant odor there is no fixed rate for trees this varies considerably according to uie usually uiey arc cut and ued in bundles of 1 to 6 taken to uie station alter trim ming for monetary corudderauon of be tween 35 and 36 cents per bunch retail ing in uie states for fifty cents to 1300 each prom this it would appear unit as usual uie people pay the piper for the handling of uie trees from forest to consumer in spite of low prices however uie now

uie christ mas market bringing a price on the stump of 35 to 30 cents each with uie cxpenacs of planung interest and main tenance this method nets approximately 300 per acre and leaved a- wourtocked
