Making Hay.
Making hay is an annual
"job" on the farm and one
that is not always looked forward to with pleasure. To
the boys it means work and to
the father it means worry,
and if good hay is to be mad-
neither of the*ecan be completely avoided. There are,
however, good and poor ways
of making hay, but no real
easy way of doing it. This
question will probably be tak
en up at the coming Farmers'
Institute and anyone having
hay to make this year should
be there to hear the discus
sion. If -*• ou have any eas\
method of making hav don't
keep it to yourself. The conductor of the Institute wouh
be pleased to hive you te!

Friction and Velocity.
When one solid b;x]y glides over Ihe
surface of another ihe coefficient of
friction diminishes «s the velocity lu-
creaswt ami nearly vanishes when the
velocity attains a certain critical value.
This diminution of tilclion is due to
the air which partially separates ihe
two bodies at low relative velocities
und separates Ibeni completely at tue
critical ami all lusher veioclliea.

A man who leased a cottage nt a
seaside resort met the plausible real
estate agent who engineered the deal,
to whom he said:
*'] took this cottage from you because you represented it to be only
three minutes' walk from the ocean.
As a matter of fact, it is fifteen minutes' walk Instead of three. I'm disappointed in you, sir."
"Well," said the real estate man,
"I'm disappointed in you too. 1 took
you for one of those real rapid walkers."
