Of course, everybody has heard of the narrow Quebec farms as'this is one of the customs of that province since] the time of V immemoriar-a father deeding to his son a narrow strip off his farm, until today some, farms are actually not over twenty to; twenty-five rods wide, while iheye were probably originally surveyec? eighty rods wide. _ They put me inmind of when I was a boy, when wt used to pull peas with a scythe and then _tie them in bundles all over the fields-the hay- Cocks on a Quebec farm are just as numerous as the bundles of peas used to be on a northern Ontario farm. I do not know why the farmers of Quebec put up their-hay in such small haycocks, but I judge one faircsized Ontario haycock would make four to six of those, in Quebec; and with, the enormous crop of hay which there is in Quebec this year, the land isrliter... ally covered with these little hay- cocks. I heard tell of a Yankee once, who, on passing through the Canadian north-west, made the remark: "There was so derned much wheat that I couldn't see the country." It seems to be the same thing in Quebec-there are so derned manrhaycocks that one cannot see the land. Sr l 'it"trsstFr,ris, k Bird's Fore View of Quebec-.'-.
