Then for f«*eding the silage Is shoveled into a tank that runs upon an overhead track in front o f the cows, and a suitable feed Is deposited In front of each cow. Hay is brought from the hay to the cow •table by an adaptation of the horse fork. The milking machine has done away with the drudgery o f that operation. The machine is washed by power, and milk cans aud palls are aterilized with a steam je t after being perfectly cleaned by the Improved washing powder in the water. N eed FURNITURE OR CARPETS ?

I f it is necessary to stack the hay in the field it should be protected in some way from the rain and snow. A good method is suggested by Kimball’s Dairy Farmer, as follows: Take three small wires and weave into them slats about eight inches wide and four feet long. These are placed about two feet apart. The length of the frame will depend entirely upon the height of the stack. It should be large enough to cover the top of the stack well and keep the hay from lK»ing blown off. I f you wish to improve on tills tack tarred felt roofing paper to the slats. This gives you a practically tight roof over the stack.

Benjamin. Jr. H -H -M 1 I [Original.] Ben Arnold and I were chains, and Dorothy Drummond was a witch. Given a pair o f chums and 'a witch, and what is the Invariable result? A quarrel between tlie chums. I f thia Invariable result bad happened In our case there would be nothing worth the tolling. So many such aiTalrs hav* taken place that they have ceased to be at least novel. Dorothy said she would have neither of us, declaring at the same time that we were more In love with each other than with any •no else. I w ill admit that this helped Ben and me to keep from quarreling, though neither of us believed her. W e invented tests to force Dorothy to show her hand. Whether she was too smart for us or whether she had nothing but friendship for either of us we could not tell. A t any rate not one o f our tests gave us any Information. W e conspired to send her invitations for a drive to take place at the same hour of the same day, hoping she would show her preference by accept­ ing one and declining the other. The little m ini accepted both, asking us to call with an equipage capable of seat­ ing four persons, as she wished to take her grandmother. We were both furious, but dared not disobey. We tried to force her to choose one of us to sit beside her, but she declined to enter the carriage till all bad been seated. She was the life of the party, which must have been a difficult role to play, for Ben and 1 sat ‘'nursing our wrath to keep it warm.” When we banded the two women out, Dorothy was profuse in her thanks for an In­ vitation which had not been given. One day I told Ben that there was but one way to force a decision be­ tween us. That was to tell Dorothy If she would have neither o f us she must lose both o f us. W e would both *go west.” Ben consented to this at cnee. He believed the girl loved him aud when It came to the point of los­ ing him would show her hand. I bad no donbt that I was the fortunate man and. If a choice was Inevitable, would be chosen. I f you ask on what grounds we based these opinions I re­ ply that each drew his Inference from Dorothy's actions toward him. She gave me her photograph, exacting my promise not to tell Ben. and gave Ben her photograph, exacting Ills promise not to tell me. This sort of trick she played us In a great variety of ways. It wan quite natural that each should deem himself the favored one. One evening we called on Dorothy together and stated our proposition. In order that neither abonld have the advantage o f being spokesman we were both spokesmen.
