one could alraott tell the time of year just hy lioenlng in spring there is the hum ot tractor followed by the characteristic squeak ing of discs of drills in summer we hear mower wagonwbeels and hay- loader and in late summer and early fall the chugchugchug of the threshing machines it is a welcome sound even though it adds to ones difficulties for a while it is a sound that indicates the end of weeks and weeks of work and worry and fore shadows craneriea well filled with feed for cattle and poultry for yet another year but as i said threshing has its problems particularly with the pres ent labor shortage farm command os nave done wonderful work accord ing to all accounts but it would hardly be reasonable to expect a city man to help at a threshing it is bad enough for those who are used to it and yet if the farmer goes himself as be of ten has to these days then the work at home is at a standstill even though there may still be grain waiting to be cut this happens more frequent ly now than it used lo because many thrshlngs are so much earlier than formerly early maturing spring grain makes this possible but all farmers do not favor early grain thus it sometimes happens that when parmer brown is ready to ttookthresh his early oats farmer creen is starting out to cut late oats starting out yes but that is often as far as he gets- once a threshing machine moves into u district there is not telling when it will move jjut and farmer orecns oats stand waiting become overripe and if a storm happens to come along the chances ore the field it left as flat a a cowpath we have been lucky n that respect lrtncr has had to stop for only one halfdays threshing but there are other farmers who have been less for tunate sometimes i wonder why farmers living within a ulmted area dont get together and thresh out their problems as well ns their crops it should be possible for farmers in any district to agree on some sort of kystem whereby no overripe grain would iw left standing while another mans crop was being thrwitfiod out for be it from me to tell the men what to do but i often think that farmer ns a class are inclined to take the attitude each man for himself and he dell take the hindmost it is more than likely partner will tell me i am sticking my neck out to ex press such on opinion maybe so but after nil the onlooker see more of the game than the players arid i feel too that if farm women had work which necessitated changing they would make a better job of it than the men i dont know much about it but t have an idea that the old fashioned bees of bygone days were pretty well organized and ar ranged to suit everyones convenience cooperation was really something in those days well lets gel back to the ueasonal sounds again we have plenty of them around here in fact we had over a hundred up to a week ago t am referring to the sound of roosters crowing they were everywhere ev en to the front doorstep it was those hot days that drove them around to the front the steps were in the shade and the chickens asked for nothing better some of them would park on the vtepi the others strayed somewhere around the back and then the fun began cockerels from the bark of the house would start crowing some of those from the front would make fullthroated re plies and then the whole flock would take up the chorus it was awfu sometime t could hardly hear on the telephone some of the bird were ready to fatten others were not in any case we hadnt enough room to shut them all up so we called in a buyer and sold half the chickens alive the rest i have shut up now there is peace and quietness for a little while the cockerels are still railing back and forth from their respective pens but they are for enough away not to worry us i like little chickens and young pullets but as for roosters 1 sometimes feel i could shoot every last one of them vancouver woman tea sk vanoouveit cf here the uory of a woman who sips tea for a living

canadian govern ment to get that perfect blend you must judge your tea by the tvbt and smell of the dry leaf or the size and color of the brewed leaf she added then you must notice the color
