She was not exactly sick but so full anything vould have happened.

Doc shook his head. "Can't treat --a-cow that-way--on--aeceount of her having four stomachs" (What a mercy people are not like cows -- some folk have enough trouble with one stomach!) So we were given powder to be dissolved every six hours and given as a drench; tablets, crushed and every 'four hours, also. as a drench; and tablets, crushed. and dissolved every Tour hours, also as a drench, "Start with the- powder right away," said Doc. With what I thought was a flash of "near-genius. I interrupted-- fl "Wait, Doc--I'll mix up a dose and you can give it to the cow' before you go." I don't suppose the vet noticed the gleam of mischief in my eye, but Partner did.

To make things a little easier we inyested-in a "humbug." Farm- cers will know what IT mean but 1 imagine that name will keep. folk guessing. Between us sey all week--and the end of this little job is not yet in sight. -Other work has had to be ar<w. ranged in between doses. Before "T could help with a W.I. banquet the cow had to be dosed. And I had to come home early for the same reason. Tomorrow I am supposed to go to Toronto on business but it looks as if bossie will keep me at home. Partner says if Drowsey doesn't come back to her milk when she is better, then we shall have to ship her out. And then we shall have reason? to know what has been happening {fo the cattle" market. Another worry just now is a "threatened shortage of = water. Wells are very low. Unless we get rain Quite soon we may have: to -buy water. Some of our . neighbours are already doing so And believe me of water '--at £10 a tank. a thousand gallons _ doesn't" last very long among a herd of cattle. The land also needs rain very badly, especially after the warm drying winds we have had for over a week. But, oh dear, how hard it is to ex- plain ~one's---attitudeé -about---the weather' to non-farmers. Go down town and someone says--"Isn't this a lovely day . .. haven't we had a wonderful week?" You agree--to disagree would mean someone 'would say--or at least think -- "Oh, you farmers -- al- ways grumbling !"" So you smile and say -- "Yes, it iis lovely weather" and you feel like _a traitor remembering the thirsty land and the low water level in the wells. - ; But still come.good weather or bad, sick cows or poor markets, something always seems to come up to make you realize that you have nothing -to complain about after all . .. not really It was a letter that shook me out of a slight session of doldrums last week. A letter from a reader of this column so full of courage and- humour, and so unconscious- ly pathetic," that 1 could quite easily have laughed and wept at the same: time. Apparently the writer lives on a farm where hard manual work is not relieved in any way. z We speak of modern methods of farming; of conveniences at the house and at the barn to lighten the work, forgetting that" not every 'farm is so 'blessed. When I get a letter from some- one where farming is still done the hard way it makes me feel. ashamed--as if in my column | had been guilty of being "smug" I hope no one ever does, ob ever} : will, think that. It .is not so very long since we had very few conveniences : ourselves--not -so long but what I can still remem- ber filling coal-oil lamps and 'trimming wicks that rmever would burn straight. Far from being smug I never ceasé to marvel that we have managed to acquire so many things in our time to make farm life more convenient and comfortable. For those at present less fortunate my feeling is not-pity but confidence that, with the passing years: they, too, will know greater comfort and convenience in their homes. Los Angeles no longer has any doubt about inflation having come to roost there. People, it is noticed, are no longer saying. "Thanks a million" but "Thanks a billion." wa | 'Modern Etiquette Q. What should two persons do if introduced to each other for the second time? A. If the occasion is a formal one, they both acknowledge the. introduction and do not attempt any explanations that would be embarrassing to the person mak- ing the introduction. However," 'if the. occasion is an informal ° one, it-is all right to recall the : previous meeting. .Q. At a widow's second mar- riage, her . first 'husband being --deceased, should you invite the family of her first husband? A. Yes, indeed, if. the relation- ship has always been pleasant. Furthermore, ~ these people should make every effort to at- tend. ~ Q.. How do men and women seat themselves in a restaurant .that has sofa seats? A. The women always sit against the wall (or partition), and the men sit on the chairs facing them. Q. How does one properly re-- move the bones from a fish at the dipner table? A. Lift the end of the bone with a fork, and then pinching it between the fork and the knife, lift it all the way out. In some stubborn cases you may have to use the fingers, and this is 'quite all right if you do not allow the fingers lo touch the fish. ; - Q. When meeting college pro- fessors socially--for instance, en- tertaining them at'tea -- how does one address them, as "Pro- fessor" or "Mister"? 3 --#1f-he bears the title of Doc- | tor, call him that; otherwise, call him "Professor."

How is the public announce- ment of an gngagement mage? A.

Any husband trying to do that to-day would quickly find himself in prison. An Essex newspaper of 1834 gives this vivid 'glimpse of a wife sale: "On.Saturday last a poor but honest and hard-work- ing labourer brought to the mar- ket house at Ongar, encircled posed her for public sale. She was purchased . . . for ten shils lings which sum, with the mar- ket toil, the purchaser imme- "diately paid and received his frail bargain.

Then, realizing that these re- marks wouldn't help "him sell her," he began to praise "the bright and sunny side" of his wife, declaring: "She can read novels and milk cows; she can laugh and weep with the same ease that you could take a glass of ale when thirsty. . . ."
