Robinson Crusoe.

Robinson Crusoe was fictitious
character, but it is supposed that De
foe based his immortal story upon the
actual facts in the life of Alexander
Selkirk, who lived alone for four or
five years on the Island of Juan Fer
nandez Juan Fernandez is in the
South Pacific, some 400 miles off the
coast Of Valparaiso. When Selkirk
was rescued from his lonely island he
returned to England, where his story
excited, naturally enough, great deal
of interest. In all probability Defoe
took the hint of Robinson Crusoe
from Selkirk's story and by dint OF
genius created the book that will out
last the pyramids.

News Notes of Wisconsin.

KeWauskum.-Y eggmen entered the
postoffice by forcing rear window.
They then attempted to drill through
the vault door, but, failing to open it,
knocked off the combination with a
hammer. They then drilled another
hole, but whether they were able to
secure any funds will not be known
until an expert locksmith opens the
vault. AS a result of the robbery
Kewaskum was without stamps and
postals until Postmaster Koch was
able to secure a supply from Camp

escaped with q team of horses stolen

should be made in advance, so that
the mower can be started and kept
ahead only a few acres at d time. One
man can operate the mower and ted
der. The tedder should be started an
hour or so before the hay is to be
taken up, and this is work which re
quires great care if the crop is TO be
saved in the best condition.
If the hay crop is large a loader is
almost Indispensable, because it will
do the work much faster than any two
men, and do it better AS it is always
difficult to get help in haying time, it
is a good plan for several farmers to
buy and operate a loader and other
haying machinery on the cooperative
plan. By a little careful figuring and
good judgment d group Of farmers can,
in this way, help one another to save
their crops, with less labor and less
expense, and with more certainty Of
success than could be attained in any
other way.
Timothy hay may be baled directly
from the swath without much danger
of heating, although it is safer to have
the hay thoroughly cured before be-
ing baled. If hay is baled directly
from the swath it must be entirely
free from rain or dew, and this pro-
cess can be employed only under the
best Of weather conditions.
Upon the weather depends almost
entirely the safety of the clover crop.
The best time to cut clover is when
it is in full, rich bloom, and before
any brown heads appear in the field.
Many farmers claim that clover should
not be cut at this stage, but the ex-
perience of the writer is that nine
times out Of ten the crop will be saved
in better condition than if allowed to
stand longer.
Start the mowers early in the morn
ing, because dew will not hurt the
clover, provided the weather is fine;
run the machine until about ten
o'clock, and then stop for the day. If
the weather is bright the tedder
should be started about noon, and the
hay raked in small windrows, and these
can be allowed to stand until the hay
is ready to be drawn into the barn.
If the weather is just right the hay
will be ready to be taken from the
field within "a hours. and put up in
that condition it should retain all of
its leaves and succuIence. and make
excellent hay.
If even a,slight rain falls. or if the
hay is allowed TO remain in the field
more than . day, the small piles
should be turned over. The hay must
be perfectly dry when it is put into the
barn: if it is not trouble will QUICKLY
follow.
If the hay begins to heat in the barn
there is not much to be done for it. To
fork it over and stir it up only in

Enoland's "cowslip-Time. A."

This is cowslip-time, which also
means pudding-time for the families
of farm laborers in the rural districts
of Essex There the fragrant flowers,
seldom seen for sale in London be-
cause they fade so quickly, are not
called cowslips, but bear the quaint
old English name of "paigles." They
are rarely made into the wine SO popu-
lar in the west country, but the petals
are picked, dried, mixed with -four,
and made into buildings. These
''paigle puddings" furnish welcome
annual Sunday treat for the clever
financiers who contrive to bring up
dozen children On the weekly wage
of a dozen shillings. Cowslips, unlike
their poisonous primrose cousins, are
quite wholesome, and possess powerful
sedative ualities.-London Chronicle.

creases the trouble. If clover hay is
properly cured and put into the NOW
in first-class condition, and the NOV
we'll ventilated there is not much
danger of heating.
In order to make a good clover-hay
crop we must thoroughly understand
the nature of the plant. When the
crop is ripening the water is constant
ly passing out of the soil up through
the roots, the stalk, and into the air
through the leaves The plant is be-
ing built up and matured in this way.
When the blossoms begin TO turn
brown, that IS a sign that the connec-
ton between the water and the plant
is being lessened and this is the time
when the crop should be cut, because
it completely sewers the connection
and reduces the amount of water in
the plant.
Glover cut at this period has about
Is per cent of water left in the stalk,
and the problem is how to get rid of
the most OF it without drying out the
plant too much, thereby rendering it

stock food.
When clover hay is put into the
barn in exactly the right condition
it has about % per cent. of moisture.
which it has absorbed from the soil
In the west, where the acreage is
generally much larger than in the east
and south, many clover raisers find it
good Ilan to cut their hay in the
evening, turning it over next day after
the sun IS we'll up with the tedder.
The side delivery rake is probably
used more in the west than in other
sections of the country, and this is
found to be a practicable and useful
machine.
The best time to make clover hay
is on a cool, clear day with the wind
blowing. for the wind cures the hay
better than the sun.
A very hot sun, particularly if there
is much humidity in the air, kills the
leaf structure and prevents it from
evaporating the moisture. When hay
is tossed up loose in the windroW, or
in small cocks, the air can pass
through it, and this absorbs the mois-
ture more rapidly than the sun.
Good hay is not dried grass, a dis
tincticn which many farmers have not
learned. When clover hay is put into
the barn it ought TO have some mois-
ure in it, not the moisture produced by
rain CT dew, but the natural moisture
which the plant has absorbed from
the sell
If clover is not cut until all the
heads are brown, it can easily be
cured, hut it will not make very good
hay. Again, if the hay is raked up
into cocks when it is perfectly dry.

value is lost
