The latest story in regard to the scarcity
OF feed in the country comes from West
Alexander Pa. Squire ,Ritchy says a far
mer he knows is feeding hay that was cut
and cured in the year o. the big June frost,
twenty-six years ago. The present search
| ty OF fodder had completely cleaned out
the farmers hay NOW, as he thought, but
in attempting 10 clean out the barn he
found that what he thought was an,accn-
mutation Of hay seed and refuse was sew
etsl tons of.hay. The new crops ofsuc-
ceeding years had been thrown into the
NOV and had until the present season
been sufficient without disturbing the old
hay in the bottom of tho NOV.
