“It would be better if there was more snow on the fields. Too many icy patches on them now to please me." we over- heard a visiting farmer say to our younger farmer today. "Yes -the haylands will have some‘ bare spots. I'm thinking."

“Apt to." ours agreed. “But then again." he added, “we never know. May have a fine crop of it."

"When there's a cover of ice like there is now." the visitor offered. “mark my words-things won't be too good." This week gave our farmers the sea- sonal chores at the barns and time also at the woods“ work. The housewives too found no lack of interests. no excuse for “something to do, just to pass away the time." Rooms become untidy. Cupboards soon bare.
