TRY THE HAY CAPS.

The first man that yentured to wear an
umbrella, was hooted through the streets
of London, and those who introduced the
use of hay caps, encountered almost as
much ridicule. But they have continued
to win their way each season; those who
have tried them, assure US of their great
leneft. The damage prevented during a
single storm has in many instances more
than repaid the first cost. Now is the time
to provide them, before the hurry of hay
ing and harvest, leaves no leisure for any
business away from the farm.-C0r. Ame-
