THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
June 4 1898 
Humorous. 
“ The good die young,” as you’ve heard 
say ; But the old dye when they’re get¬ 
ting gray.— Life. 
Cumso : “ Why is the nose on the Statue 
of Liberty just 11 inches long ? ” Sedso : 
“Because, if it were another inch, it 
would be a foot ” 
Woman: “How much for children’s 
pictures?” Photographer: “Two dol¬ 
lars a dozen, madam.” Woman: “Why 
—er—I’ve only got nine.”— Judge. 
Bookkeeper : ‘ * Suppose you were fish¬ 
ing in the North River, and a Spanish 
gunboat came along, what would you 
do ? ” Typewriter : “ Pull up my line 
and sinker ! ” 
“Say, that luminous paint is great.” 
“ What do you use it for? ” “We paint 
the baby, so we can give him a drink in 
the night without lighting the gas.” 
—Chicago Record. 
“ Are you quite sure the eggs are all 
new laid, Betsy ? ” asked the mistress of 
the house. “You have my word for it, 
mum,” Betsy replied. “Every one of 
the dozen was laid by my own hen.”— 
Pick-Me-TJp. 
Bronson : “ My poor old grandmother 
is dead, and her parrot died the next 
day.” Dailey: “Very strange! The 
poor bird died of grief, I suppose ? ” 
Bronson : “ No, I killed it with a poker.” 
— Pearson's Weekly. 
“ O, hear me ! ” exclaimed the old lady. 
“It does look like they’re agwine ter 
have war ! How I wish all my boys wuz 
in Congress!” “ In Congress ? ” “Yes; 
kaze then they’d vote fer war an’ stay 
out o’ it .”—The Atlanta Constitution. 
While teaching a class in Sunday- 
school recently the teacher asked, “What 
was Noah supposed to be doing when the 
animals were going into the ark ? ” She 
received several answers. At last a little 
girl put up her hand.” “ Well,” she 
asked, “ what do you say ?” “Taking the 
tickets, Miss,” said she.— Tid-Bits. 
“ Yes,” said the old hen, as she picked 
her feathers a little, “ everything is 
changing.” “What’s the trouble?” 
asked the pea-fowl. “ These incubators; 
75 chickens came walking out last night, 
and I can’t tell which are mine and which 
are the incubator’s. Maternity is truly 
an awful responsibility .”—Credit Lost.

“QuickHaying Quality Prime." 
It leaves the hay in a light, loose windrow, where it 
is cured by the action of the air, and not bleached 
by the sun; hay retains Its bright grecu color 
’ all the essen¬ 
tial oils. 
and i 
It turns the hay Completely, 
and exposes It all to the air; _. 
you can begin raking quick- m^r It rakes wide 
er than with a sulky rake, fast and clean, 
saves the use of a tedder in many instances; saves 
time; does not gather stubble, manure or other 
trash. It greatly reduces the cost of harvesting 
a crop of hay. More about this and the Key stone
