MANY A LOVER

BY A. Cook, Deputy.

In making hay 1t is always best to
begin few days before the meadow is
quite ready to cut. The loss from cut
ting week too soon is not to be COM
pared with the loss arising from cut
ting week too late. There is differ
ence between dried grass and hay
made from matured grass, but II the
stock is allowed to choose they will
take the dried grass. If we do not be-
gin to make hay until 1t is just right,
bad weather OF other untoward cir
cumstances may cause delays that will
afford the grass time to get too ripe,
and once this happens it is impossible
to make good hay of 1t.
There will be very little clover hay
in the West this year, and the main
dependence must be on timothy and
prairie hay. Timothy cutting should
begin by the time the blossoms fall
from the heads.
We prefer to begin cutting as soon
as the dew is off in the morning. II
the weather is fair this is left until the
next day, when it Is raked and allowed
to lie In the windrow an hour or two
and is then piled into well-built cocks.
where 1t can stand until the next day,
or two or three days, If necessary. In
these cocks 1t begins to sweat, and
pitching the hay on the wagon and of
into the NOW airs it out in way that
causes 1t to cure perfectly In the NOW,
coming out a bright green and smelling
as sweet as new-mown hay.
The use Of a hay loader hastens the
work of haymaking, but is not con-
ducive to the making Of the best of
hay, as 1t can be properly cured only
by standing in the cock for time.

Easily RecoRnized.

Charles Dickens delighted to tell
stories of John Forster, the writer and
editor with whom he was much asso-
ciated. Mr.. Forster had so peremptory
and decisive manner that 1t impressed
all who came in contact with him. His
servants were kept in perfect and al
most abject submission to his wishes,
and yet he showed many kindnesses to
them, and they were greatly attached
to him.
The story runs that on. one occasion
cabman called at the printing office
and was unable to give the name of the
person who had ordered him to come at
a certain hour, without fail.
The Office porter asked for descrip.
tion of his fare, and the cabman stated
that he was "a stout gentleman" To
this the porter replied that there were
several stout gentlemen in the office,
and inquired whether this one was tall
or short.
Il don't know which you'd call him, !"
returned the cabman. 81 didn't take
special notice; but there can't be two
like him; he's that there harbitrary
cover
The porter summoned Mr.. Forster
without hesitation, and found he had
made no mistake. When the story
leaked out, nobody enjoyed 1t more
than the "harbitrary cove" himself.

Hemp.


Hemp is of antique origin, for it was
used by the Scythians at least 500 years
before the Christian era. It grows wild
In India and many parts of our own
land, and 1t was known to the Chinese
thousands Of years ago. The Romans
We're familiar with the use of hemp for
sails and cordage. India and Persia
is the native home of hemp, and It is
cultivated in the United States in Ken
lucky, Illinois, Nebraska and Missouri.
Recently California has become inter
ested in its growth, and in that State 1t
often reaches height Of fifteen or
twenty feet.
Raw hemp, produced in Japan, is
sold In ribbons thin us paper and
glossy az satin, the frayed ends show
Ing tibers of exceeding thinness. We
import 100000 worth of hemp yearly
from Italy and Russia. A grower in
California says 1t costs $50 an acre to
produce hemp, 1000 pounds to the acre,
and he clears $50 an acre.
Our best hemp comes from Italy and
we pay 8 cents pound for it. The
Italians take great pains, blowing twice
at an interval of fifteen days. After
cutting, the stalks are removed to
shady place and the tops inclined over
a trestle to dry. In favorable soils from
400 to 1000 pounds an acre is pro-
duced.

I have raised bun turkeys for three

turkeys that have eves raised, says a
writer in Michigan Farmer. The rich
buff does not show dirt as white does,
and they are larger bird than the
White Holland; are jhst as easy to
raise, and do not stay around the barn
SO close thas they do not thrive unless
fed all summer, but are between the
bronze and White Holland. Never 90
to the neighbors, but still get good
living in the fields.
Then the bronze are SO fond of roam
ing; you never know where the hen is.
She lays all over the farm, and visits
the farmers all around. And In regard
to extra size, will say that by Christ
mas my Bluffs will weigh as much as
bronzes, and be fat and fine. while the
bronze tom is all lean and lank till the
middle Of February, and, In fact, at
that time the market quotes heavy
toms 2 cents per pound less than hens

VENGEANCE OF a BRIDE.
She Put Bullet Into the Heart of q
Deceitfu1 Husband.

OeCcltIul nu0D0uus
Not long ago there was murder on
the main street In Tahlequah, 1. T., and
although the killing was done in plain
sight there was no demand of arrest or
trial for the slayer. 1t was the beau
tiful wife of Cherokee Jim, the Indian
gentleman, who put bullet into his
heart, her object being to avenge her
fathers death and also to repay the de-
ceitful Indian for his attempt upon her
own life. The story is one of the most
remarkable in the history of the TO-
mantle West.
Allie Madaris was the only daughter
OF wealthy stock raiser at Checatah,
IN the Indian Territory. She was beau
tif,ll and accomplished, amiable in dis
position and fascinating in manner
Tenderfoot and cowboy wooed her in
vain. Her flashing black eyes sent a
shaft Of passionate love into many a
heart, but no returning arrow found
lodgment in her affectionate nature I'M
til she saw Jim Mcdonald. Cherokee

Wonder who 1t can be-" remarked
Nell to Martha. 1t was just about
dusk, and tall man in a macintosh
tstood ringing their door bell.
Il cannot imagine" said Martha,
1peeping over her sisters shoulder.
The door was opened by the maid,
sand the visitor shown into the parlor.
Then the maid hurried up stairs, and
Dsaid to the waiting sisters: HE didn't
fsiye no name, Miss Martha, but asked
ne he might see Miss Harper
Martha took or her white apron, and
'smoothed back her hair in very i'm
portant manner, as she started down
tstairs.
ci Il wonder what he wants." muttered
aSell enviously.
To have tall, well-dressed gentlemen
asking for Miss Harper was not nm
every day occurrence. Nell began to
surmise. 1t might be an agent for
either books, life Insurance, or foreign
missions, or 1t might be one of the
many lovers Miss Harper had had in
her youth, who had at last come back
to claim her. Nell had known n great
deal about those lovers by hearsay.
Miss Harper was fond Of dwelling
upon them, and 80 many times had she
spun out her stories, that she had al
most persuaded herself to believe in
them. Nelrs incredulity had long since
vanished, and now she began to con-
template her sister claimed. and mar
ried and carried off bride in blushing
and happy triumph while she herself
was left an old maid, and an object of
pity.
The thought was sickening. She
stood In the hall by the ballusters, with
her eye fixed on the parlor door, wish
Ing her sisters visitor would depart.
Suddenly the door opened, Martha
came out, and motioned for her to
come down.
II thought 1t better to consult with
you, Nellie, in regard to this gentle
mans proposal" said Martha.
"A proposal already" gasped Nell
following her sister into the room.
She was soon undeceiyed, however,
and quite forgot her miserable anticl-
pations in listening to the visitor.

The amount Of storage room given
colony has much to do in governing
swarms, and If the bees are kept con-
fined in the brood chamber Of hive ex-
clusively they will swarm more read
lily than If they have unlimited room
to store honey. Some races Of bees are
more inclined to swarm than others,
and even some colonies Of the same
race are also more inclined to swarm
than other colonies. The italian bees
swarm more than the native black
bees, and still other varieties are more
persistent in this respect. The Cyprian
bees are inveterate swarmers, and will
frequently swarm with scarcely any
honey in the hive. The Cyprians are
very prolific breeders and win pro-
duce double the number OF young
queens that other varieties do at
swarming time.-Ex.
