day we were getting ready to thresh the next day we threshed and today we are getting over it now there is plenty of grali in the bins to see us over yet another winter threshing is really a marv ellous thing you see the sheaves go into the great maw of the feeder where by some intricate mechanism everything is sorted out so that the grain goes into the bin via the grain spout the straw through the hlowsr to the back of the barn the weelc drop down to the floor and the dust goes where the wind takes it it is a dirty job and i never begrudge the work of getting gocd moajs for the men if they are good meals that of course is a matter of opinion i do the best i can even if sometimes i appear to treat them badly yester day for instance i forgqt the bread at suppertime but i saw the men reaching for soda biscuits and come to my senses that wasnt quite so bad as a friend of mine who forgot the plesl after the men had gone there were the pies cut but other wise untouched still on a

there maybe you had listened to the probs and knew it was coming we were wares we hod been too bus2o listen to the radio it x still trulte mild when we went to bed so as usual i threw the window wide open we nearly froze and yet we bad both been too tired to realize the house was getting cold you know how it is you sort of know you are not really warm and yet you cant wake yourself up enough to do anything about it we had no fire anywhere that night and with the cold frosty air blowing in it was nice and fresh in the morning i can tell you there is quite a wind blowing now and i am afraid so terribly afraid that there will be very few autumn leaves left on the trees by morning this fall the leaves were slow to color and quick ys leave last year if i remeember correctly it was just the opposite strange isnt it we so often think that fall is the loveliest time of all the year until the follow ing year ond then we think there is no time like the spring cooperative facioftv winnipeg cp
