cousins in diplomacy and has proved
his worth a. q diplomatist.
At the time Of the Jameson raid Il
caused DR.. Jameson and his associates
considerable surprise that their plans
were known to the Beers almost as
soon as they were conceived. The
British were met. fought and defeated
by an ambushcd body Of men almost
at the very beginning Of their attack.

The old warrior enlisted the services
Of the barmaids at johannesburg In the
political. secret service. Through them
he learned that new men were being
enlisted in the Cape police and that
new guns were being shipped. week
after week, from England. Through
the same source he was Informed of
the attempts that were being made by
English politicians to force the hands
Of the Government Of the Orange Free
State In case war should be declared
by the British Government against bis
country. The Englishmen babbled all
this over their cups and the barmaids
winning smiles and bright eyes never
gave them the suspicion that they were
telling secrets Of vital Importance.
No sooner had the pretty barmaidf
enticed from the sturdy colOnists theiI
important secrets than Dom Paul was
Informed. The old statesman knew
how to parry blow with blow. To the
amazement Of the British. no sooner
had they increased their force Of avail

ment than they were informed thai
Dom Paul had enlisted sill larger

The hay crop of this country is more
important to farmers than wheat. as
hay may be baled and sent to market
or be used on the farm: but one reason
Why hay should not be sold Is because
il contains more of the mineral ele-
ments than does grain. More profit Is
made from hay than from any other
staple crop, as II is the main reliance
for winter feeding. and the manure
from hay contains plant food that Is
more evenly balanced than that from
any other source. To derive the most
benefit from hay. however. is to feed
it in connection with less valuable
bulky food. using bran or hnseed meal
to make the ration better and more
acceptable. and especially should TINS
course be pursued when there has been
\ short hay crop.
