WILLIAMJÖN HAFFNERCÖ ENGRAVERS-PRINTERS Hay seems to Ueve been little known In the middle n**es. Stock was win tered mostly on straw and leaves. Tus- ser, who wrote in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, gives much advice to the farmer as to the cutting and storing of green branches, which might serve as fodder when pasture failed, lie is par ticular as to the desirability of saving the beech cuttings for the milk cow’s, w’liereas for sheep anything would do. A miserable dependence it would ap pear to us now, but then it seems to have been looked on, if not as a matter of course, at least as a thing practiced by the more forehanded and capable. There must have been some natural meadows in England even then, blit perhaps all tlleir produce was saved for the horses of kings. As far as I can recollect, there is no mention of hay in Shakespeare, if we except Bot tom's remark, “ Good hay. sweet hay. hath no fellow," and even that sug gests its rarity. By Milton's time. 100 years later, “ The mower w’hets his scythe" “ And the tanned haycock ir the mead” were familiar country o* jects.—From “ A Farmer’s Notebook * SELL THAT OLD Automobile That old watch Photograph outfit of which you are tired Your cat, dog or shoat That old wagon, horse or cow Churn, wheelbarrow, tools for which you have no use The unused shed that ought to be torn down The lot that you don't need When MncDonnell left his home lu Edinburgn for the wild west in Amer ica to engage in ranching he w us us mild a mannered fellow us ever lived Nothing troubled him so much as to have a difliculty with any one. On the day of his departure one of his friends said to him: “ it seems to me, Mac. that you will be out of your element iu a couutry where there is no law except gun law.” “ Oh. 1 won’t be troubled.” was the reply. “ I ’ll not offend any one, and If any oue offends me and 1 have to tight I ’ll try to arrange for u substitute of fists Instead of guns.” “ You’ll not be likely to effect such an arrangement: you're too strong. Those fellows won’t care to tackle you iu a trial of muscle.” When MacDonnell reached Ills new home he astonished the inhabitants of the country by going about without the customary enormous revolver slung to his side. lie was warned by friends that such a course w’as unsafe. True, the people of the region w’ere a gener ous. whole soulcd lot, who respected any man for doing as he pleased so long ns he did not injure his neighbor. But there were men who had come from thp lowest haunts of vice, w’ho would not hesitate to shoot any one they took n fancy to shoot, even if un armed Rut MncDonnell refused to be converted and continued to ride over his ranch with no other w’enpon than a lasso. The only trouble he had was with a neighboring ranchman named Haw- kins, who insisted on claiming Mac- PonnoH’s sheep. For a time, when ever there was a question of owner ship between them. Mac would give in. This encouraged Ilnw’ klns to increase his demands, and it finally became ap parent that if Mac did not call a halt nil his sheep would in time be trans ferred to Hawkins’ ranch. One morning Hawkins rode up to MncDonnell’s ranch house, called him out and began to abuse him scurrilous- ly, accusing him o f branding one of his (Hawkins*! sheep. MncDonnell was obliged to stand and take what w’as said to him, for should he retali ate In any way Hawkins was liable to draw his revolver and shoot him. Mac waited till lie had finished and was about to ride away. Then he said to him: "Mr. Hawkins, you have grievously Insulted an unarmed man. I am op posed to the use o f firearms, but if you will give me such satisfaction as may be afforded in the ring with fists I shall be obliged to you.” “That kind o’ fightin’ may do for a milksop like you, but* it isn’t the kind we’re used to in this country. When we fight out out here we fight to kill.” With that he rode away. MncDonnell did not take this attack kindly. Several of his employees, in cluding one of his herders, witnessed the torrent of abuse heaped upon him, and it galled him to live under the obloquy of having taken it without a fight. Besides, lie knew that such a public insult would be spread abroad, and he feared that the community would consider him a coward. Finally he made up his mind that he must fol low the custom of the country, and the day after the insult the 42 caliber re volver of the country appeared at his hip. Fortunately he dkl not happen to meet Hawkins for some time. When he did it was up iu the mountains back of the grazing lands. Mac was passing over a path about a yard wide leading around an almost perpendicu lar cliff. Behind him were two of his borders. Suddenly turning a bend, Hawkins aud MacDonnell met face to face and not ten feet apart. Haw kins being first o f four men. MacDounell was a very different man from the man who had left Scot land a year before. He had been brooding over the insult he had re ceived till he was ready to fight to the death the man who had given it. He was very quick in his movements, and before Hawkins had quite taken in the situation Mac had drawn his revolver aud had the drop on his enemy. “ Mr. Hawkins,” he said, “ I’ll trouble you to ask the man behind you to re lieve you of your revolver and drop It over the cliff." Hawkins made no reply for a few moments, glaring at his antagonist. “ Suppose I decline," he said pres ently. “ In that case I’ll drop your dead body over with a ball in It.” Hawkins stood MacDonnell’s glance and the muzzle of his revolver a little longer, then told the man behind him to obev the order. Ills revolver was dropped over the cliff. it was followed by Mac’s w’eapon, and both men stood unarmed. “ I now propose n wrestling match. Mr Hawkins, right here. If you can throw me over after my revolver you are welcome to do so.*’ “ I decline certain death for both.” said Hawkins “ Then turn around with your party and go back.” Hawkins made no reply for some time It was quite a distance to a place where the parties would have plenty of room to pass. Presently he turned and directed his party to go hack. MacDonnell never replaced the re volver he had thrown over the cliff, and Us replacement was never needed. Board o f D lreotoro.

Is it possible to s ta rt th e m otor in « c ar when the self s ta rte r fa ils to w o rk and the c rank is missing? When the starter fails and the hand crunk is not available the best method of starting the motor is to jack up one of the rear w heels so that It will turn without touching the ground. Then pluce the gear shift lever In high, and a few turns of the uplifted wheel will start the motor. Flace the gear shift lever iu neutral before lettiug down the jacked up w’ beel or you will have a runaway on your hands, or at least the motor will stall, aud you will have all your work to do over again. Prop erly done the entire operation takes only a few moments. W h a t ars the com m on causes fo r a m otor missing fire? Missing tire may be caused by an overrick or too lean mixture, by poor valve adjustment, inaccurate valve or Ignition timing, leaks around tbe spark plugs, cylinder plugs, manifolds, etc., loose Ignition wires? weak magneto magnets, water lu fuel, faulty spark plugs or those with poorly adjusted electrodes, carbon deposit* in the cyl inders and overloading. In cases of this sort take an old in ner tube, cut out a piece about eight or ten inches long, tie one end tightly, so as to be air tight, then insert the tied end into the tank. Next remove the valve connection from the pump, in Bert the hose in tlie open end of th? tube and pump until the tube con pletely fills the hole in the tank. The i tie the outer end securely. This con trlvauce will hold several pounds pres sure in the tank and will last for soui time. Is th re e -e ig h th s of an inch too much play in th e w ris t pin bushing?
