Tturston & Son, PubUshers Toronto Lady Assists Farmers With Haying Many fanners have been handicap- ped with lack of help taking off the bumper hay crop in this district this year, but nevertheless most have made good progress desipite the catchy weaher. Mrs. Ken McKee of Toronto is doing her bit in the hay- ing operations by running a tractor for Messrs. John McKee & Everette Blackburn, 4th Line, in drawing the wagon and hay loader. This is the second summer that Mrs. McKee has eom€ to the country with her little daughters to assist in haying. FAWN CAUGHT IN FENCE FAILED TO SURVIVE While cutting hay at the back of the farm Jack Grununett saw a young fawn get caught in the fence. The animal appeared to have been chased as it ran in terror from the bush. It was brought to the bam and made comfortable. It was unable to stand and had patches of skin torn from its hindquarters. The family prepared milk in a bottle to feed it, but early in the afternoon it died. The men had not noticed any bark- ing by dogs in the direction of the swamp and it is a mystery what had attacked the animal. It is another of the wonders of nature how a crea- ture of such delicate structure can survive at all in the wilds. â€" Hath- erton Reporter in Dundalk Herald. Memorial Service For Cpl.

Boots For Dogs (Dumb Animals) Have you ever heard of those Aus- tralian sheep dogs that wear boots? Well, Australia, as you probably know is a great sheep-raising land and the sheep dogs are a great help in herding the flocks as they are in our own western sheep-raising lands. During part of the year, in Aus- tralia, the prairies where the sheep graze are covered with a pretty wild flower called bindi-eyes. It is a beautiful flower, but it causes great injary to dogs' feet, because its leaves are toothed and quite sharp. Since tbe shepherds must have the help of their dogs all the time, they hit upon the idea of making soft leather boots for them when the bindi-eyes come along. Oddly enough the dogs seem to sense this kindness on the part cf their nwsters and they don't abject to the boots at all. Indeed, they come right up to their master to have their boots put on at the times when this is necessary. In Memorijun FIELD â€" Iv. lovinsr memory ot my beloved wife.
