Too Much Credit.

Mr.. Keene, a shrewd and thrifty farmer
of Marlborough, owned large flock OF sheep,
and one autumn, when it came housing time,
he was greatly annoyed upon missing num-
Der of his finest muttons; among them three
or four wethers which he had raised and lat
tened for his own table. He as sure 1t was
not the york of dogs, and the most ne could
do was to await further developments.
On the following spring, when his sheep
were turned out to pasture, he lnstltu cd
careful watch and ere long he detected Tom
Stickney, neighboring farmer, In thu act OF
pilfer NC sheep; but he made no noise
about it at the time. Stickney was man
well-to-do, and Keene did not care to expose
him.
Autumn anne again, and upon counting
nm his flock. Mr.. Keene found eight sh ep
missing he made out a bill in due form to
Thoma Stickney for the Gig It sheep and pre-
seuted it. Stickney choked and stammered,
but did not back down. Like a prudent
man he paid the bill. and pocketed the re-
ceipt. 81,
sheen were again turned out. Another au-
tumn came, and the former again took an
account of his stock, and this time fit zen
sheep were missing. As before he made out
the bill to Tom Stickney for the whole num-
Der missing, but this time Tom objected.
I" is too much of good thing" said he.
ssFifteen sheep! Why, bless your soul, l
hadn't fifth part of them.
Mr.. Keene was memorable.
sThere is the BILL" said he, "and have
made it out in good faith. 1 have made nc
fuss when my sheep have been missing, be.
cause deemed your credit good and suf6

ssWell," groaned Eom. with big gulp, q

MEASUREMENT OF HAY.-Hay varies
much in weight, whether coarse or fine,
green or old when cut, moist or very dry
when stored, depth of bay, and other causes.
Nevertheless, with some practice, farmers
may soon learn to make pretty near guess,
by measuring, and observing the conditions
above mentioned. Fine, solid hay, not too
old when. cut, when settled under eight or
ten feet, will weigh at least ton for 500 cubic
feet Glover will be much less in weight
and the top of the bay will of course be less.
The Mass PIoughman, gives several instances
where $50 feet of fine solid hay, low down
in the bay, weighed ton; but more COM
monty it required 500 feet.

GETTING TREES WELL STARTED.-"John-
ston, in the American Rural Home, says that
last spring he cut down to the ground $1,000
apple trees one year from the graft, all from
two to three feet high, and that now they
have new tops from IL to IL feet in
height, with single, smooth, strong and
stocky stem, and are better rooted than two
or three year old trees usually are. He
thinks that cultivators often make great
mistake in not seeking to develope Ioots
rather than tops, during the first few years of
the life of a tree
