Care should be taken to keep rains
from spelling the hay, but a rain does
not necessarily ruin the crop. 1t is
usually the best practice to cut in the
morning. begin stirring with a side
delivery rake in the afternoon, allow
it to lie in the windrow over night,
and stir again with the rake in tho
morning after the dew is off. 1t will
be ready to stack by the second after
noon. in good drying weather. The
hay should not be left in the swath
exposed to intense sunshine very long.
as the leaves become crisp and are
shattered off. 1t should be remembered
that the leaves are the most valuable
part of the plant.

able proportion of the heads are
brown and the seed ripe, there will be
but little rowen, while there is much
danger that the roots of the clover

SEEDING TO CLOVER.

Glover growing alone is not likely
to stand up well. If sown in mixture
with a stout growing grass, such as
timothy or orchard grass, the clovers
retain their upright position much bet
ter than when growing alone.
In the former case the following
quantities of seed per acre will be
sufficient:

USE HAY CAPS AND COVERS.

Hay caps are not so expensive
that you can afford to let the rain spoil
IS and SIS hay. A few hay caps and
covers will last for years, and then you
can cover the cocks and let them cure
longer than you would if they were ex-
posed to rain. Save the hay after you

CHAPTER VI.
BILE FIRES

Cabs for comfort; cars for
company" was an apothegm
which Average Jones had evolved
from experience. A professed
student of life, he maintained,
must keep in touch with life at
every feasible angle. No expert
ence should come amiss to a de-
tective; he should be pundit of
all knowledge. A detective he
now frankly considered himself;
and the real drudgery of his
unique professor of Advisor was
supportable only because of the
compensating thrill of the occasi-
onal chase, the radiance of the
Adventure of Life glinting from
time to time across his path.
There were few places, Average
Jones held, where human nature
in the rough can be studied to
better advantage than in the
sitting tunnels of the subway or
the close-packed sardine boxes
of the metropolitan surface lines.
1t was in pursuance of this the

cause Pup Was Taken.
FEARED FOR HIS LIFE

Because little pup was picked up
and impounded, fifteen men made a
charge on the city pound and threat
ened to destroy 1t yesterday after
noon, according to complaint made
by Dog Warden Albert Leonard TO
Recorder Henry w. Kehoe last night.
The dog catcher declares that only
at pistol point was he able to drive
Ione man from the place and force
the angry mob back He claims he
was threatened with bodily harm,
all because his assistant had im-
he was compelled to aim to protect
himself fronf~injury.
Arrests May Be Made.
Leonard told the recorder the nina
lived on the southerly side of New
Brunswick avenue at the point where
Washington street intersects that
thoroughfare He only knew the
name of one of them. An investiga=
tion will be sought and their ar
rests may follow. The recorder has
made Ia plain that he maintains the
same stand he took recently in pro-
tecting the dog catcher and his as
sistants. He Is desirous of having
the work of catching dogs go unham-
pered.
Forced Back With Revolver.
According to the story told by
Leonard, one of the men invaded the
city pound yesterday afternoon and
attempted to corner him so they
could free half a score of dogs.
Leonard claims he was too quick
for them and drawing his revolver
levelled 1t at the first intruder and
|ordered him out under penalty OF
death. The man, he says, retreated
and then the dog catcher was con-
fronted with about fifteen other
men who threatened to tear down
the pound. Leonard made vain at
tempts to summon police aid he says
and then was forced to drive the
men back himself
He feared that they would make
"a successful attack on the pound
during the night and probably lib
erate the animals impounded.
Besides having trouble with many
of those whose dogs he has grabbed
and impounded, Dog Warden Albert
Leonard claims his own help iii
