condition of the crops, and to ascer-
tain the exact damages done by the
recent food, reporter started ont
the other morning on an interview
ing expedition. He was fortunate
enough to encounter a farmer at
the edge of the town, bringing a
load of hay into the city. Burning
with enthusiasm, the reporter hail
ed him. He halted, and the follow
ing colloquy took place;
"How are you, friend Z"
"Tired."

"Same as it always wss.'

"Dried grass"
"What did you think Of the rainl'

"Nothing but an umbrella"
"What did your neighbors get p
"Chills and fever"
"What are you doing now ~
"Sitting out here in the sun, and
may be missing chance to sell
this hay. Come mp here if you
want to talk"
The reporter scrambled up to
the side of his new-made acquaint-
ance, and as they jolted on he
again produced his notebook, and
continued:

"Got q good load now" was th,
rejoinder, as he checked his horse
and said: "Guess you'd bette

what 1t will yield. Here's wher
