HARE CARRIED OFF TREASURE.
Clever PUSSY" Feigned Death and Es-
capped with Wealth.

A delightful story comes from Coun-
ty Donegal, Ireland. Timothy O'Don-
nell is a farmer, living on the bleak
slope of mountain south of Glenties
Recently a son in America sent him
home bill-vaIue S25-and Timothy
sent his daughter to Glenties to cash
it, buy goods, and bring back the
change. The colleen discharged her
mission, and for want of a purse tied
up the change in a handkerchief On
her way back she proceeded to ex-
anime some traps which her father
had seen on the mountain side, and
was delighted to find in one Of them
a splendid hare. But then the ques-
ton arose, how was she to kill It?
She had neither stick nor stone.
Happy though, why not strangle it
with her handkerchief? No soon said
than done, or attempted, and pussy
was left for dead. The girl proceeded
to set the trap again. But the hare
was only feigning death; and when
the girl looked round, imagine her as
tonishment to see it scampering over
the mountain side with the handker-
chief containing the treasure) fas-
tened round his neck!! Pursuit was,
OF course, impossible, and hare and
money soon disappeared from view

CURING ALFALFA.

Many farmers who have had their
first experience with alfalfa have had
some difficulty in curing the hay. They
treat it as they do timothy or other
grasses, and find it loses much of its
virtue cured in this manner. AS
matter of fact such process is not
curing, but drying, and alfalfa will not
stand drying.
The best plan of curing it which
has yet been tried is to rake the alfalfa
into winrOws as soon as it can be
handled to advantage. 1t is then
cooked up into small cocks and covered
with the regulation muslin hay caps,
which have weights at the corners
In this way it cures perfectly if left
fCSfve or six days, and is then taken
out. allowed to dry in the sun for half
A day, and then carted to the barn.
This plan holds the color in the alfalfa
and cures the plant perfectly without
drying it out. If those who have had
trouble with the curing of alfalfa will
try this plan there will be no trouble
in curing the hay so as to retain its
full value.-Indianapo News.

SUMMER WATER FOR COWS.

When one has pasture through
which IL stream runs he considers him
self fortunate so far as the water ques-
ton is concerned. but there is much
danger iii such situation unless one
is sure OF the stream for considerable
distance before the water reaches his
pasture. What is the stream used for
by those who have access to it before
it reaches you: If you do not know. it
is Il good plan to find out before the
cows are permitted to drink from it.
After all, there is nothing like water
from good well so located that it
cannot become contaminated in any
way. True, it takes time to get the
water out and to the COWS or the COWS
to the water, but it is usually time well
spent. Do not work on the plan that
the COWS can drink all the water they
need at morning and night, hence go
without it between these periods. Prob
ably they can. but did you ever count

Will Not Offset the Ill Effects OF
Coffee When One Cannot Digest 1t.
A farmer says:

"A IdImSI says.
cit was not from liquor or tobacco
that for ten years or more I suffered
from dyspepsia and stomach trouble;
they were caused by the use of cof-
fee until l got so bad l had to give
up coffee entirely and almost give up
eating. There were times when !
could eat only boiled milk and bread
and when 1 went to the field to work
I had to take some bread and butter
along to give me strength.
II doctored with doctors and took
almost everything I could get for my
stomach in the way of medicine, but
ii l got any better it only lasted i
little while until 1 was almost a
walking skeleton.
"One day read an ad. for Postum
and told my wife I would try it, and
as to the following facts I will make
affidavit before any Judge:
Il quit coffee entirely and used
Postum in its place. 1 have regained
my health entirely and can eat any
thing that is cooked to eat. / have
increased in weight until now
weigh more imam ever did; l have
not taken any medicine for my stom-
ach since 1 began using Postum
Why, believe Postum will almost
digest an iron wedge.
My family would stick to coffee
at first, but they saw the effects it
had on me and when they were feel
ing bad they began to use Postum,
one at time, until now we all use

The Stats are fitted around the wheels

Of bolts at the end of each roller. The
frame is made of three-fourth scant-
