HARD TIMES AND HOW TO REMEDY THEM. rriHE leading question that is upperJL most in everyone's mind, and that is turning our hair grey, is—How are we to get through the coming winter ? One remedy 11. B. would suggest is, don't pay Is for a (in of Column's mustard when yon can get'it for 10d, eat plenty of oatmeal at 8s 9d per bag, and buy good tea at 2s 3d per lb. Another remedy is 1o buy a mousetrap for Gd, to prevent the little beggars from emptying , your cupboards. Also cultivate your gardens, every corner of them ; don't let a weed grow (allee snme as H. B.) 'j-he undersigned will supply you with the newest nnd host Garden Seeds at tho'lowest prices. Then, again, shoot plenty of Acclimatisation Society's (No!) sparrows and pigeons, thereby saving butcher's meat.
