Day mended the front porch flooring, where the minister had met with his accident, and reshingled the roof. The boles of the fruit and shade trees about the house were whitewashed, and the palings of the fence renewed. Somehow a pair of new hinges were found for the gate.
For two weeks he was busy harrowing, disking and rolling the old race-track; he repainted the weather-beaten poles and reshingled the judge's stand; he repaired the fence and installed an Australian starting-gate, dug a pit for the barbecue and brought forth, repaired and set up under the oaks close to the race-tracks, thirty long wooden tables at which, in an elder and more romantic day, the entire countryside, as guests of the Farrels and Noriagas, had gathered to feast.

Best Breed of Hogs. What is the best breed of hogs for pen feeding, shutting them up in small pens from the time they are little pigs and feeding them mostly on skim milk and slops?

He looked up at the roof again, as if checking himself. "Yes, I should think from here that it would have to be reshingled." She sighed resignedly, and he knew she was poor. "Well, I suppose you had better do it."
