MAUD MULLER's NEW RAKE.
Haymaking as Conducted on the Great
Ranches of the West.

00uCuCS Va IuC VVoSs
Haying now on the big ranches Of the
west is very different proposition from
what it was in the days when Maud
Muller and her wooden rake caught the
eye of the poet.
During most Of the summer the only
harvesting done is with the teeth OF the
grazing cattle, but there arrive time
when winter feed must be prepared, and
then comes the haying crew.
Where circumstances permit half a
dozen mowers are used, one behind the
other, each drawn by three horses and
cutting seven-foot swath. Following
these are giant rakes which wlndrow the
grass and prepare it for the stacker.
Three great sweeps next come along
and carry the hay to the stacker, some
times nearly a ton at load The hay
sweep and the stacker are two Of the
greatest labor saving devices ever in
vented.
The sweep is great strong rake with
teeth from six to eight feet long carried
on low wheels and running ahead of the
team. BY means of it the hay is fed to
the stacker, which does the rest.
Everything is done as by clockwork.
The lead mower lays out the land to
suit the stackers, and in this way the
entire crew is kept busy, the stacking
Immediately following the cutting. A
SeVen-fOot mower with three nOrSeS VIII
cut from fifteen to twenty acres a day,
and the whole haying outfit will stack
seventy-fve tons In that time. On the
larger ranches several Of these outfits
are kept going at the same time for
weeks.
Contrary to the experience Of eastern
farmers, hay put up the same day it is
cut does not rot in the stack. The old
idea Of curing hay until dry has been
proved wrong by a thousand tests on
Nebraska ranches. The curing it gets
in the windrow is all that it needs.
1t must not be supposed, however. that
the labor saving machinery has driven
all the Maud Mullers cut Of the hay
raking business. On many ranches here
in northwest Nebraska Maud Mullers
raking hay with huge horse ,rakes or
running stackers, putting up dozens OF
tons of hay day, nav be seen at any
time from July until October-only they
won't give airy judge a dipper full of
water to drink. To stop for moment
would delay the remainder of the crew,
and the best Maud Muller can do is to
point to the jug and thus save any vain
regrets.-New York Sun.

MAKING DREAMS USEFUL.
Daily Life the Main Factor in Causing
Our NIGHT Time Visions.

A. L. Gibson presents an exhaustive
analysis of the physical and psychical
basis of dreams. He sums up his views
in part as follows To sum up the ar
gument. dream and waking differ in de-
gree and form of manifestation only. not
in principle and essence. Like waking
consciousness, dream reveals, but does
not create. The same world that sur
rounds the waking individual surrounds
the dreaming, only the viewpoints aud
media of observation are changed.
AS the life experience of an individual
In his waking consciousness receives its
character and value by and through his
power of response TO environment, so IN
q similar way the value of a dream de-
ponds upon the power of the Ego to re-
spond to consciousness in its various
forms of emotions, ideas and feelings
which constitute the environments OF the
subjective or dream plate. Waking or
dreaming, the individual is, or becomes
what he chooses to be at any given mo-
ment of his existence.
The background for ordinary dreams
consists of undigested remnants of wax
ing life. Hence, ordinary dreams are
merely undigested life, being made up by
longings, desires, nnticipations, idle hopes
and miscarried realizations which, occu-
plying the mind during the day, ar over,
taken by sleep before having reached
their fruition. Hence the mixture, IN
most dreams, of the sane and the insane
of truth and delusion.
On tho other hand, the life lived out
and assimilated in a purposetul existence
becomes absorbed in the formation Of
character and leaves no residue to form
the bizarre staging for the confused
dream. And to such an individual the
intutions of dream life, with their daz'
cling imagnery, will introduce symbols
which, properly interpreted, may carry
the significance of provision or prophecy
Therefore, to turn dreams into useful, in
telligent and ineligible factors, we must
fill our waking life with deeds and
thoughts of universal usefulness. and
freight the train Of events with an un-
flinchiug devotion to duty and virtue

Concerning Dice Shaking.

A travelling man stepped up to tho
cigar stand in Kansas City hotel the
other day and offered to shake Indian
dice" for the cigars. The clerk procured
the dice box and was about to throw
first, when the man across the case
stopped him.
IF you don't mind, I'd like to shake
first" said the travelling man.
The clerk handed over the dice box
and the other man shook and won.
Now I'll tell you something" said
the travelling man when he had received
his free cigar. "The man who shakes
first when Indian dice is the game has
an advantage over his opponent. lie

low has only rs many throws rs the
first shaker chooses to take. In throw
