CURING HAY.
A Simple System Which Seems to Give
General Satisfaction.

A Simple System Which Seems to Give
General Satisfaction.
1 will give you my system of haying
which is followed closely-based on
good weather. 1 have no plan for wet
weather, only to do the best possible
under the circumstances. The mower
is started as soon as the dew is dried off
in the morning-never before; two
hours later the tedder is run over it and
the green grass is exposed to the sun
and air, drying all at the same time.
This is done with the ent re amount cut
down about three o'clock in the after
noon; what is cut after that is left to the
next day. The tedder is then started
for the second time, and if the day is
fair, in another hour the rake follows.
With a fair amount of help, all that was
cut by two o'clock a be put in cock
that day, and that as late as three
o'clock raked into wind-rows, which are
stirred and aired next day. for a short
time, and then also put up. That por-
ton cut between three o'clock and
evening is stirred by the tedder the next
morning, before the sun has time to dry
the dew on it. By this shaking much
of the wet is removed; the air absorbs
the balance, and it is ready for the rake
by oon
This plan is for mixed clover and
timothy. Pure clover requires more
time to dry, and more use of the tcdder
but l would rake it into wind-rows to-
ward the close of the day of cutting, and
the tedder over them frequently the
mex day. The less it is exposed to the
dew, the better hay, and less dust when
used. l prefer, weather permitting, to
let the hay stand in the cock over one
day before putting it into the barn, but
l have very often put it in next day. A
the hay season advances and the grass
becomes less juicy, l have cut, cured
and put many a ton into the barn the
same day. 1 have no fear of spon-
taneous combustion, if the building is
kept closed, and no salt is put upon the
hay, to save it from spelling. Hay thus
put Up will pack close. and a given
space will hold a much greater quantity.

Buried Treasurie. in siIesia.

Some laborers digging out sand lately
near Sacran, in the Gels district, in ST.
lesia. found, about six feet below the
surface. in a space hemmed around by
large stones, a quantity of valuable OBJ
jects, including many gold, silver and
copper ornaments, with some porcelain,
glass and bronze. There was a bronze
stand over a meter high, adorned with
numerous figures, apparently suited for
hanging a kettle or pot; with it some
exquisitively polished and engraved
glass plates and some quite rude barbar-
ic gold ornaments. Most probably it
was plumber taken in war. hidden
away by some one who could eve re-
turn for it. Some precious articles dis
appeared during the first few hours
after discovery, but the rest has been
taken possession of for the Silesian
Archaeological museum at Breslau.-

'No, my friend" Brose answered,
laughing. .'Your mother-in-law is GO
ing to marry me-, and, of course, will
reside in my house."
Hagen involuntariiy drew back a step
and stared at the doctor.
''You are joking" he said.
"Assuredly not! You described your
mother-in-law to me as one of the most
excellent of women, and l have found
that the facts bear out your eulogy in
every particular. In order to render
you a service, I have asked her if
she will be mine. She has answered
yes You can, therefore, congratulate
me as your future fat~her-in-law."
t.No, no! this won't do! 1t must not
be!' exclaimed Hagen.
"And why not? I see nothing to him

SIT won't dol" repeated Hagen, who
was not able to control his excitement.
at won't answer! The estate-my wife
is the only heir-she would have to

piled. Your mother-in-law is ready
even now to cede half the property to
your wife"
"And the other hail." burst in Ha-
gen.
..She will keep herself" laughed
Brose.
Hagen stood silent and gnawed at his
under lip with his teeth.
You have ~shamefully betrayed me!'
he then broke out. ssYou have deceived
me, told me what was not true"
What was not trueP" Brose inter-
rupted him.
Eyes! Have you not repeatedly told
me that you would never marryp"
''Of course; but I have thought better
of it. 1 would, in all probability, have
carried out my resolution had I not had
the good fortune to make the acquaint-
ance of your mother-in-law. have to
thank you for it"
He held out his hand to his friend.
Hagen turned away.
81 do not wish any thanks!" he said.
"You need not trouble yourself any
more, either. You need not visit any
more at my housed"
"Goodr" laughed Brose, whom the
passion of his friend amused. 'But
you will not object to my visiting my
fiancee of an EVENING" Now, be reas-
enable, Hagen! Your mother-in-law's
estate is SO large that you can live pleas
antly and contentedly ON half of it.
You ought to rejoice at the prospect Of
acquiring such a splendid father-in-law!
Now, give me your hand"
Half besitatingly, Hagen gave it.
Gould 1 have anticipated this,
would never have asked you to visit
me-" he said, half grumblingly, and YET
smiling.
81 thoroughly believe it." laughed
Brose. ''Now, let us remain good
friends. 1 am also free to confess that,
besides your mother-in-law, l have had
much satisfaction in making acquain-
lance of your wine. Do not let the
brand be exhausted and l will come
often in the future to pay you a visit"
The friends separated, perfectly re-
conciled. But Hagen still needed some
hours to compare notes with himself
before he had accustomed himself to the
thought that he, too, could learn to live
on half the estate and be happy.-M. Y.

Since she went home
The evening shadows linger longer here,
The winter days I'LL so much of the year,
And even summer winds are chill and drear,
Since she went home.
Since she went home
The robins note has touched q minor strain,
The old glad songs breathe but q sad refrain,
And aughter sobs with hidden, bitter pain,
Since she went home.
Since she went home
How still the empty rooms her presence
blessed;
rnfouched the pillow that her dear head
pressed;
Ny lonely heart hath nowhere for its rest,
Since she went home.
Since she went home
The long, long days have crept away like
years,
The sunlight has been dimmed with doubts
aud fears,
And the dark nights have rained in lonely
tears,
Since she went home.

TITLES oFTHE AZTEC LAND AND CAT
 TILE COMPANY.

A careful reading of the fol owing letter of Messrs. Seligman &Seligman, who rank among the best land law. yers in the country, and the recent Act of Congress defining the lands forfeited by the Atlantic X Pacific K. R O., as those ''unimproved" or not built upon by said railroad, will con- vince any one that the titles of the Aztec Land and cattle company are perfect to all their lands in Arizona. The chain of title is complete, from the inception of the railroad in 1871, down to the present tune. As will be seen the A. & P. R Co.,, from whom she Aztec L. X C. Co. purchased their lands, complied with the law in every respect by filing all necessary docu- ments, having the road properly in spccted and reported upon, and by paying all land office aiad other fees promptly.
