(Written Specially For The Bulletin.) 1 am writing this in surroundings of mid-winter dreariness and bleakness. The calendar may say it is April, but the world outside looks more like early February. Two days and two nights has snowed; a steady, fine sifting snow, with, most of the time, a stift gale whipping it into swirls and spirals and small tornadoes, and heaping it in drifts wherever a drift can chance to be most in the way. This morning [ had to dig one big drift aw from the back door before I d open it to set out on my morning chores. In the course of my goings back and forth among the barns to care for the cows, horses and hens, 1 waded through another which came up my m-pits. With a pailful of m for hens in one hand d another of dry bran for the cows the other, the negotiation of this particular drift was something of a stunt for the old man. Of course, I could have carried the pails back, got T hovel, d channeled a canal But the swirling snow would -filled it in ten minutes: I was s it was, and the “critters” were So ] butted my way through no worse cident than a lot of down my k inside the colla iid no particular harm though, it scemed to me about the I'd ever associated inti- winter we missed, last January and February, in April and May. One quaint-spoken old farmer I know of, when asked, two months ago, if we weren’t going to have any real winter. responded: “Wa'll, I've lived seventy year and 1 never knew a winter to rot in the sky, yit.” ° Certainly, March was as warm and | forward as April usually is. During that month the garden rhubarb got up several inches high; [ picked trailing arbutus in full bloom; and we had a royal mess of fresh dandelion greens— three things I never before saw in this| place during March. And now gardens. woods and grass lands are covered with fifteen to twenty inches of snow—with more coming. Some of my neighbors sowed onions | and peas and similar seeds, last week. I'm very much inclined to think 1 should have done the me—with on- ions, anyway—had not other conditions outside of weather and soil prohibited I once sowed half a bed of onions in | i I intended to sow the whole = i the ground was in fine shap stopped when half done by snow squall. This was followed b; fortnight or more of cold, sour, free: ing weather, before I c d complete the sowing. The first sown half of that' bed yielded a much larger crop 01‘ 3 better onions than the later sown half, though the seed had to lie under snow. ete., for@ full fortnight. I have s fancied that the seed softened up dur- ing that wait so that, when growing finally came, it was all ready tc and germinate.
