The Lakefield “ sports ” are looking forward to good hunting in the vicinity of Stony Lake this fall. They say that the swamps are so dry that the dogs will be able to follow the dear anywhere in them, and thus drive them unfailingly to the lake, where they may be slaughter- ed at leisure by the so-called hunters. Two crops of peas in one season is a pretty good record for this part of the country. That is what Mr. Hugh Mat- thews, who resides in Douro a. short dis- tance from Lakefield,gathered this sea- son. The first crop was cut the latter part of July. The ground was then ploughed and cultivated and a. second crop grew from the peas that fell from the first crop. The secOnd crop while not as heavy as the first, was its equal in every other respect, and a week or so ago Mr. Matthews was able to have green peas, freshly picked, for dinner.
