Value Of the Hay Crop.

The hay crop of this country is more i'm
portant to farmers than wheat, as hay can be
baled and sent to market or be used on the
farm; but one reason why hay should not be
sold is because it contains more of the mineral
elements than does grain. More profit is made
from hay than from any other staple CROP as
it is the main reliance for winter feeding,
while 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 con-
nection with less valuable bulky food, using
bran or linseed meal to make the ration better
and more acceptable, and especially should
this course be pursued when there has been a
short hay crop.

struck the trigger and the gun was discharged,

He Inst Exnlained to the Jury.

One of the most common defects of a recent
ly-admitted lawyer is a striving for oratorical
display, says Success. A successful older prac-
titioner endeavors, on the other hand, to give
the Jury heartfelt heart talk. The ways of an
eagle in the air, of serpent upon rock, OF
ship in the midst of the sea, and of man with
a maid, are as A. B. c. compared with the
methods usually pursued by the twelve good
men and true. 1t seems trif1e odd, at first,
that a dozen individuals who separately are
shrewd, sharp business men should collective
ly be guilty of the most absurd performances,
but the fact must be reckoned on, nevertheless.
A story is told of two farmers who were re-
turning home, one of them from jury duty in
a neighboring town. Lawyer Smith is
great orator." said one-''a perfect Daniel
Webster. Ny, how 1 hated to decide against
him in the three cases he triedp
''How about Lawyer Jones, who was on the
other side?"
"Oh, shucks, why, of course be wins all his
cases. heard every one of 'em, and they were
the simplest things. He just explained things
to the jury. He didn't have to do any hard
talking at all. You couldn't help but agree
with him."
