Wood-Chopper ard Canal Driver.
From the Cincinnati Ganntte.

About once in twenty years the
people want candidate from the
ranks of the people. In 1910 it was
General Harrison, the log. cabin cam
didate OF Tppooauoe. La 1860 ii was
Honest Ace, the rail-aplitter. 10
1868 it was Grant, the tanner. In
1880 it is General Garfield the wood
chopper and canal>driver. And it
is remarkable that when the people
make up their minds that they want
such man they elect him with ma
iorines that admit of no questioning.

Making Hay,

The time to harvest this impor.
tant crop has again come round, and
some remarks on making bay may
not be out of place. The fist recol-
lection the writer has of haying is OF
moving by hand, often with q
crotched stick selected in the woods
to hang the scytne on, though pa
tent snathes W ere then coming into
use: We boys followed with wood
ed forks, also made from crotched
sticks, and spread the newly cut
grass. 1t was turned over, if heavy,
by mandrake, and drawn in on an
ox-sled. When alone, the writer,
then a boy and just learning to
NOV, and his father. would get tired
when they secured three sled. loads
day. Now, with the help of a
mower, tedder, horse rake and horse
fork, many times the same amount
of work can be accomplished with
the same manual labor.
TINE TO CUT GRASS.
The most natural food for stock
horses, cattle and sheep-is grass,
and the best hay is that which
comes the nearest to dried grass.
In the pasture stock like grass that
is young, sweet and tender, as they
show by leaving portions and bun.
ches that get large ED dry, and
feeding on those places that are
kept down close. But in getting
hay it is not practicable to secure
this young growth; hence grass
must be cut when there is growth
enough to furnish q fair yield-that
is, it should be cut when it will give
the largest amount of sweet, tender
grass-like hay. All this, it is
thought, can be best secured when
the plant is coming into blossom,
A leading object in tho growth of
plants is to store up in the different
parts Of the plant the nutriment
needed to perfect the eeed. Before
blossoming this nutriment is diff
fused throughout the whole plant
10 developing the flower aud the,
this nutriment is largely used and
concentrated in these parts of the
plant This is SO thoroughly the
case, that the plant, which before
blossoming was rich and tender, and
full of nutritious juices, changes dur
ing the remainder of its growth into
a hard, woody substance, contain
ing a comparatively small amount
of available nutriment-in the first
case it makes the best of hay if the
seed is allowed to ripen, we then
have tho straw of the grass or
grasses grown. True this straw is
better fodder than that of wheat or
rye, but still it is straw, 10 which
large part of the nutriment has been
used in producing the flower and
seed, and considerable portion. in
the from of sugar, starch and gum,
has been changed to hard, woody
fibre.
This substance is not easily or
generally digested by stock unless
cooked or softened in some other
way. Hence the best hay is made
from grass cut before these changes
take place which produced the
flower and the seed, and form

A LOVERS REVENGE.

When James Lick was young man he fell in
love with miller's daughter in Pennsylvania.
Young Lick faced the stern old miller and asked
for the hand OF his daughter. Now, James was
poor young man, but honest and industrio 's, and
withal, full OF pride. The man refused to grant
James request, and advised him not to marry
until he had a competency to support a wife.
These remarks were humiiating to young Lick's
pride and with emphasis he replied; "Sir, shall
see the day when your b1asted mill would not
make respectable wheat bin for one shall
own" Years passed, and James Lick erected in
Santa Clare county, California, mill, the wood
work of which is solid mahogany. Shortly after
It's erection he had photographs taken OF the In
side aud outside Of his mill, and sent them to
the miller who mad refused him the hand Of his
daughter.

never with what we are.
He that pryeth into every cloud may be stricken

No books are so leglble as the lives OF men, no
