self There was a great king over all
the people, who was called Smith, be-
cause smith was a workman. a man
who did things promptly and efficiently,
and who, therefore. had a large con-
siituency. This king decreed that all
his tribe should be called by the name
OF Smith. because they were the best
that were.
AS time went on. II came 10 pass, In
the natural course of events, that there
were few Smiths who were not worthy
or the name. AS soon as they showed
themselves lacking in the requirements
and characteristics Of a true Smith
they were forced to change their names.
in this way the Smith family main
tanned its glorious reputation.
THE result Of this plan OF our wise
and able forefathcr Is that the Smith
family Is counted among the well-in-
formed as the most aristocratic family
on earth. II Is the very Oldest and
the very best, and those who hold other
wise argue themselves foolish. as near
ly all the rest Of mankind is descended
from those who were kicked out of the
Smith clan. "-Washington Times.

second Crop HAY.

Many farmers do not properly appre-
ciate the value of rowen, or second crop
hay, and speak Of it as being scarcely
worth the trouble of cutting and cur
ing, says American Cultivator We
think it is more valuable pound for
pound than the best that was cut for
the first crop. 1t is lighter and it takes
larger amount to feed an animal than
of the early cut hay, but when the
same weight is given it is quite as nu-
tritious A feed of 1t once day Is
much reIished bX all the animals, and
for cows in milk it will prove almost
equal to feed of ensiIage or of roots
as a stimulant to milk production. The
calves and young stock thrive on it as
they will not on coarser hay, perhaps
because it is more easily digested. The
sheep at lambing time like it and will
give more milk and thus raise better
lambs, and it is none the worse if it
has a good share of clover in it. 1t
requires little more making than the
grass cut in June.

The Cows stan.

In some stables the cows never have
the same stall and are fastened up
wherever they happen to go in. We
do not like this practice and prefer
that every COW should have her stall
for her home. This they soon learn
and would be lonesome if turned into
some other. We think it much easier
to put up the cows and much less con-
fusing. This hit or miss style Is a
good deal like the family whose mem
bers never have the same seat at table
and lop down at the nearest vacant
chair Rural New Yorker.
