THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
August 17 , 1001 
Humorous. 
’Tis belter in your haste to state 
A if men are liars, than 
To pi(;k out one and designate 
That fellow as the man. 
—Catholic Standard and Times. 
Miss Alma: “When did you becon 
acquainted with your wife, doctor 
Doctor: “After the wedding.”—Heit 
Welt. 
“What were the poor fellow’s 
words at his death?” “He didn’t ^ 
any. 
Norristown Herald 
His wife was at his bedsidi^ o ' 
Emplovkk: “And how long we: '<<u 
in your last place, my good man?” 
James (just out of Sing 'Sing): “Ten 
years, sir, and I never had a single even¬ 
ing out.”—Troy Times. 
Dusnap: “I see you call your naphtha 
launch after your wife.” Bertwhistle 
(working over launch engine, perspir- 
ingly): “Yes; because whenever I want 
to go anywhere with it, it takes so long 
before it gets ready to start!” 
New Boahdeu (gently): “Hasn’t this 
butter rather—er—a peculiar taste, Mrs. 
Slimdiet?” Mrs. Slimdiet: “That? That’s 
roll butter, sir.” New Boarder: “Yes— 
er—I suppose so; but where have they 
been rolling it?”—New York Weekly. 
Joiinky: “Look at the elephant mov¬ 
ing his great big fins, mamma!” Mam¬ 
ma: “Those are his ears, dear. What 
use has an elephant for fins?” Johnny: 
“Huh! 1 guess he can use ’em when his 
head swims, can’t he?”—Chicago Trib¬ 
une. 
“Is the ground around here very fer¬ 
tile?” asked the visitor. “Well,” an¬ 
swered Parmer Corntossel, “us reg’lar 
agriculturists can’t seem to do much 
with it; but some o’ those real estate 
companies has managed to raise two 
or three crops o’ building lots off’n it.” 
—Tit-Bits. 
“What puzzling questions some of our 
readers ask!” growled the able editor 
of an agricultural paper. “Here is a 
city man, lately removed to the coun¬ 
try, who wants to know how long cows 
should be milked!” “Aw, that’s easy!” 
returned the office boy. “Tell him, just 
the same as short cows.”—Puck.

ence to heavy duty, cutting ensilage and delivering it into silos.

will get into it, and a swivel joint for the steel pipe at the outlet. The combined fly wheel

600 revolutions—will elevate the ensilage into any ordinary silo as fast as it comes from the
