THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
'August 4, 1906. 
HUMOROUS 
I wish them city poets 
A-raisin’ tune on tune, 
Could strike the sizzlin' weather 
An' plow a mule in June! 
Would quit a-playin' mandolins— 
A-singin’ to the moon. 
Just try the blazin.’ burnln’ sun, 
An’ plow a mule in June! 
—Atlanta Constitution. 
First Bystander: What an impressive 
funeral! Even the family doctor is in 
the procession.” Second Bystander: 
“Yes, that’s the first time I ever saw the 
cause following the effect.”—Le Rire. 
“I understand your son Josh has just 
been nominated for the Legislature.” 
“Well,” answered Farmer CorntasseL 
“he’s one of them boys that’s alius get- 
tin’ into mischief of some kind or ’nuth- 
er.”—Washington Star. 
Desk Sergeant: “Are you married?” 
Prisoner: “No, sir.” Officer: “Beggin’ 
yer pardon, Sarge, he’s a liar. When we 
searched him, we found in his pockets a 
clipped recipe for curin’ croup, a sample 
of silk, an’ two unposted letters in a 
woman’s handwritin’ a week old.”— 
Cleveland Leader. 
“Did you struggle against the conse¬ 
quences of temptation?” inquired a prison 
visitor. “Yes’m,” replied the object of 
her interest. “Ah, if you had fought just 
a little harder you wouldn’t be here to¬ 
day.” “I done th’ best I could, ma’am,” 
said the prisoner modestly—“it took six 
p’licemen to get me to the station !”•—The 
Australasian. 
“See here,” grumbled the inmate of 
murderers’ row, “ain’t there a law again 
crool and onusual punishment?” “Yes,” 
answered the warden. “An’ ain’t I ter be 
hanged next week?” “I’m afraid you 
are.” “Then what d’yer mean by sendin’ 
me a bunch of story papers to read that 
ain’t got nothin’ but continued stories in 
’em ?”—Cleveland Leader. 
A brakeman retired to a farm and 
started to lead the simple life. Having a 
piece of new land to break, he hitched 
up a team of mules, wrapped the lines 
around his waist in farmer fashion and 
started to work. He had gone but a 
short distance when he saw a stump ahead 
and immediately began giving the rail¬ 
road “stop” signal with both hands. The 
plow struck the stump and the brakeman 
went head first over the plow. Picking 
himself up, he ran angrily to the mules 
and roared: “You flop-eared scoundrels, 
don’t you ever look back for a signal?”— 
Atchison Globe. 
“And, gentlemen of the jury, so say 
you all?” inquired the judge of a certain 
Arkansas circuit, after the verdict had 
been brought in. “Well, the rest of us 
do, and I reckon I ort to,” responded 
the smallest and most paltry-looking 
member of the assortment of peers. 
“You see, I originally differed with, or 
from—whichever is proper—the rest of 
these yere gentlemen; but they beat me 
all holler playin’ checkers, downed me 
at mumblety-peg, and then every one of 
’em, when we wrestled, grab-holts, to see 
which side of the question was right, 
throwed me flat and set on me. So, all 
things considered, and keepin’ to the 
agreement, I say, with the balance of ’em, 
that the prisoner at the bar—I sorter for- 
git what his name is—is guilty as 
charged.”—Puck.

THE 
CHAMPION 
BREAKING 
DRIVING 
SPEEDING 
Is particularly a farm cart. Strong enough for breaking the most 
unruly colt; light enough for driving and speeding purposes. 
A cart that combines all the good features of a speed, road 
and breaking vehicle. The driver can mount and dis 
mount in perfect safety no matter what position the 
horse may be in. Absolutely free from horse motion and 
PERFECTLY BALANCED 
No seat bars to step over—driver has full freedom for 
mounting or dismounting at all times—a safety feature 
I worth noting. Shafts are framed with double cross bars 
—one above, one below, making this the most impor¬ 
tant part of any cart, practically unbreakable. Springs 
are 3 feet long—that’ -by it is the easiest riding. Seat 
is upholstered and a -^ble to any weight of driver,_ 
thus taking the load q / horse. Free descriptive book 
with prices tells 1 *y -le money this really good cart 
costs. pionCartCo., Box 109, Ligomer, Ind.

How About YOUR Ensilage? 
“OHIO” Ensilage Cutters cut two ways—cut and elevate the corn into 
silo at an amazing speed; and cut off huge slices from your ensilage expenses. 
How does it "cut” expenses? By its immense capacity, its self feed 
mechanism, its power-saving direct draft blower, its simply operated 
silage distributor, its minimum use of power for maximum results. 
Silage as a milk and beef producer is _ —r—- J 'tA ✓ >' 
far superior to grain. Our book “Mod 
ern Silage Methods” (10c) tells all about it.
