Giddyap. Giddyaup. Hurrah!"
: With shouts OF laughter, toot-

ment, they're off-for the first
gala occasion Of the season, the
moonlight hayride. Down the
road bumps the rickety old
wagon with its burden Of care

of their joys and scattering
wisps of hay to the wind.
The first hayride. marks the
completion OF the task Of prepar-
ing the years stock OF hay. How
and when men first learned to
make hay will probably never be
known. For haymaking is a
process" and the product is not
simply sun-dried grass. 1t is
grass which has been partly fer
mented and it is as much the
work of mems hands as flour or
cider.
The discovery Of this process
was in all probability due to
mere accident. The London
Spectator, June %. 1892, dis.
cusses the origin Of this process.
The article gives credit to the
theory that man may have
learned to make nay from the
pikas, or the "calling-hares" OF
the steppes, which cut and stock
hay for the winter.
At one time an idea was preva-
lent to the effect that central
Asia was the home of the Aryan
race" and If this is true, then
the origin of haymaking as de-
scribed in the Spectator, Is GER
tainly not unfounded. Since the
invention of the moving ma
chine, haymaking has been prac-
ticed mainly in cold countries.
where the hay is used for winter
forage.
The Spectator goes on to say
that no meadows in the world are
so good as those in England, or
so old. Yet from the early Anglo
Saxon times old meadow has been
distinguished from pastures,
and has always been scarce.
Much of what is now established
meadow land still shows the
marks of ridge and furrow, and
since at least ten years are re-
quired to make a meadow, men
are reluctant to break up an old
pasture.
The beauty Of haymaking has
been almost entirely destroyed
by the introduction of labor'saV-
ing devices Of modern farming.

But, then, the plan must work
by contraries. The inhabitants of

and by night continually east

star of empire Il. e., of the march

way--viz., continually westward.

a plan at all, then man was des-

a treadmill, throughout the weary

pitted against the course of the
earth's rotation, as poor old Sissy
plus was pitted against its grav-
itation in trying to roll his stone
up that everlasting hill.
I will mention one little fact
of physiology which the count
might utilize in defending his
thesis. If you watch a windmill

turn your eyes aside, the ground
or whatever you fix your vision
upon will appear to he turning

everyone should have learned
that the orbital motion of all the

share the motion of the planets,
since they lie at enormous dis

solar system, and are not con-
trolled by the sun. And, more
over, they have no common
movement in any direction; some
go one way, some another. But
these stellar motions are only
