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 *

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.

Is it possible to s ta rt th e m otor in «

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
