A gentleman in nearby town
took his little boy to church with him
last Sunday for the first time. In
structing the lad about his behavior
he wound up by telling the boy to
keep an eye on him and do just as he
did. When the contribution box was
passed papa dropped in a coin. Tom
my saw his fathers hand 60 into the
box and remem bering the advice, put
his hand in also. When the box was
passed by the lad whispered loud
enough to be heard all around: '.Say,
papa, l got quarter! How much
did you get?''

goodwill" FOR HAULING HAY.

cut two pieces one foot long and lay
one at each end of the long joist. Then
Law on the seven teeth, placing the
long one in the middle and the shortest
ones at the end, then the others be-
tween the middle and the end ones.
Then fit pieces from the eight inch
ioist between the teeth as tight as
possible; then lay the other joist on top
of the teeth; bore holes through the
upper and lower joist and the teeth;
put good stout bolts through them and
the teeth.
At the end, outside of the teeth
shove a collar round SO that chain
can work loose on it and not slip Off
the end Bore few two inch holes in
the head and put in stakes to prevent
the hay slipping off behind. Fasten a
chain or rope ten feet long to each end;
hitcn horse to each end; let boy
ride each horse; go to the end of the
windrow; have a man to stand on the
goodwill" to manage it; start the
horses along the windrow until you
get load; then draw it to the stack;
turn the horses and pull it backward
until it is clear of the load.
Of the second arrangement here fig
ured another correspondent of the
journal mentioned says:
Alfalfa hay will not turn the rain,
no matter how well topped out stack
may be. Where alfalfa hay is raised
extensively it is necessary to cover
the stacks in some way or to top them
out with some kind of hay or grass
that will shed the rain. We recently
saw a stack cover used on an alfalfa
farm which the owner said was equal
in keeping the hay to storing in a
barn or NOW.
The covers are made Of ten inch
boards in sections six, eight, ten or
twelve feet long, as suits the purpose
and convenience. The boards are laid,
beginning at the top of the stack. so
that the upper overlaps the one just
below, and all are held in place by
being stapled to pieces of No. u
smooth wire, one wire within few
inches of the ends of the boards and
as many between as may be thought
necessary. With the shorter sections
the end wires are sufficient. These
wires go on the outside of the boards
and are left long enough at the four
corners to fasten on a weight to keep
the cover in place.
The use of weights is much better
than stalking down, as the settling of
the stacks will not cause the roof to

the boards will preserve them, and if
rolled up and stored in the dry or laid
on logs to keep from getting damp
when not in use they will last for
years. In taking down stack but one
section need be removed at a time, thus
exposing but small portion of the
stack. In getting the stack ready for
putting on the cover do not top out
with high center, but put on only a
well rounded top.
