page 6 the georgetown herald wednesday evening may 17th 1939 i the gcrland clock t f a wrr pd1th s1al1 y came out of ihe little old lsmu icd house look ing as youthfully sweet as ever except for her blue ees which were full of trouble the stacey s race had been with poverty especially since the war which had claimed two sons the father had died at home during that awful period so there was only edith left and she was the sole ftlpport of her mother edith went back into the house and paused in the front hali looking up at the grandfather s clock in one corner grandfather garland s clock had aluas been admired tnd envied by their friends mrs stacev bad beenm girland and the clock had been given to her by her gxand father who made his home with her until his death the clock will bring you luck my dears he uid to chuckle i invested a small for tone in il edith put on her hat kissed her mother goodby and tiptoed out of the house into the village street determination was written all over her serious face when she entered andrew landons jewelry store and clock repairing place it was a small store and andrew was rather a big young man so he filled it short short story complete in this issue rather awkwardly he was very homely with nice bluegray eyes that aeemed to become very deep and shining when he beheld edith good morning said edith put ting her hand across the counter andrew held it as long as he could you look ill this morning dear he said anxiously i wish you would let me carry these re- pansibuitiej for you your mother ceds a son a well as a daughter i jxat you coumntluif yet it jywould rum your business i did tcame to ask your advice andrew its about grandfathers clock 4 what about it 3 want to sell it have you a customer t i theres a man up on the point who is just finishing his sixty thousand dollar new house how much would he pay andrew named a sum that took ediths breath away that s the limit he added he can have ours today will you come and get it dear edith was dusting the clock just because she liked to touch the fa miliar old friend and she polished the shining faithful face with a few words of apology for letting it go andrew came in and examined the clock thoroughly it has never failed to go and it has always kept good time said edith in the tone in which one whis pers of the dear departed grand father put in new weights years ago the old ones are upstairs in the garret andrew detached the weights and balanced them in his hands heavy he said in a surprised tone then he bent closer and scraped the surface of the weights with his penknife bring me the old iron weights dear he said ex citedly when the old ones had i been at tached and the old clock was tick ing away once more andrew beck oned jsdithto the window look at this dear he said edith looked down at the new weights and saw a yellow gleam where the black paint had been craped away it looks like gold she whispered it is solid goldthe other is the same edith- that is what grand father garland did with the gold he found in fortynine had it melt ed down into these weights for the clock and kept a fortune in re serve the old weights are in the clock after sixtyeight years rest and these oh my dear we can keep the clock your mother can have the operation now and an in come for the rest of her life and we tan get married very soon andrew whispered edith softly while the friendly old clock ticked a cheerful blessing clever net those who know t good deal abrtut camels claim that theyare the most useful animals in the world the camel has been called the

those who have ridden them had no means of out their direction earlier pasturing proves beneficial early tn the spring of 1838 c p bailey superintendent dominion ex perimental faim predericton new brunswick reported that unproved pastures on the farm were actually benefitted when live stock was turned out to graze a week or ten days earli er than usual formerly the main object in delay ed grazing was to prevent the catties hoofs from punching holes in he sod it was also felt ttuu the grass should average four inches high at that time instead the cattle were turn ed out when tho grass was barely two inches on the knolls and had made practically no growth in the hollows the old system gave ten days less pasture in the spring and was much too close to the hush season when al most any kind of pasture would be productive early grazing cut the sod in some places but the advantages far outweighed the disadvantages it also made it possible to keep the grasses under control in the flush season and prevented early heading very close grazing and late grazing in the fall should be avoided states mr bailey an experiment at the frcderlcton sta ion shows that late rail grazing seriously delayed spring growth harrow ing pastures a as found to be of benefit and the field should be harrowed both ways this loosens up he sod and tends to spread drop pings of animals more evenly over the field the chain harrow was found to be the best for the purpose but an oidinarv smoothing harrow may be used preferably with tilt teeth partlj turned back beverage alcohol and the home a social aspect
