HAY.
Should Be Cut At The Proper Time
 For Feeding Value.

Timothy will soon be ready for the first cutting and one should make an effort to see that the majority of the hay is cut at the proper time. The feeding value of any hay can be greatly lessened by cutting it too early or cutting it too late. The following is the analysis of timothy cut at the different stages:

Among the many anecdotes toio OIL

from Hagliche Rundschau Is one OF

In a Mace where Scheffel once lived

water. One day q we'll driver In the
neighborhood proposed that the poet
allow him to drive a deep well for
him. Scheffel accepted his offer, but
only on the condition that after the
water had been drawn it be found
drinkable. The we'll driver completed
his work, but all that the pump would
deliver was a thick yellow liquid; so
the poet refused to pay for the work.
Finally the matter was brought be.
fore the court, and the poet and well
driver stood side by side before the
Judge to present their respective
cases. Both argued their sides SO
we'll that the magistrate was plainly
puzzled to know which was actually
right in the matter.
At length, weary Of the af1air, Schef
fel said: well, I'll give in, and pay

You mean to say. then. that l own

she inquired quietly.

and the income from his lands for a
year and a day." replied the young
lawyer. Then, hesitating, he added:
mo doubt your grandfather left every
thing to your cousin, Mervyn Ferrand,
in the belief that you would marry
him."
The young lawyer felt uncomfort-
able as he said this, for 1t is hard to
speak Of her forthcoming marriage to
a pretty girl, whom you yourself Sc
cretly adore And fremont and Lily
had become very good friends Of late.
Everybody had expected that Lily
and Mervyn would marry soon. Their
engagement was believed to exist.
And fremont had other qualms on
this subject, knowing, as he did. that
Ferrand had been mixed up in some
shady deals at college, and had not
led an exemplary life even after his
engagement.
He inherits 1t Internationally, be
lieve?" asked the girl.

her grief.
She knew that Mervyn Ferran'
meant to play false with her, now tina
he had obtained the legacy. He ha'
deceived her into thinking he cared
with his soft-spoken ways and ele
CANT manners. She had found on

that it was her prospective money
he wanted; but before she could en-
tighten her grandfather old Mr.. Nor
ton had died suddenly, and the will
was found to be based upon the belief
that Lily and Mervyn were to be mar
ried.
The chivalrous old man was sup
posed to have feared that Mervyn
would hesitate to ask rich girl to
marry him. when he himself was pen
niless.
As q matter Of fact, old Mr.. Norton
had been slowly reading into Mervyn
Ferrand's character. But the old man
had hesitated to credit the stories that
had come to his ears-and then he
had died.
Lily, disillusioned, had ceased to
care for her cousin. but she shrank
from the gossip Of the small town that
she knew would follow the breach OF
their engagement. She knew that Fer
rand was infatuated with vaudeville
actress of the neighboring city; let
tiers had been placed before her, and
rather than tax Mervyn with their au
