His neighbors call him crazy, but he left a stable full of cows that broke the record, making butter by the ton, an Bill had' his picture printed in the Squeedunk Weekly Sun. He had newfangled notions of making farming pay. He even bought a fool machine to help him load his hay. The neighbors fairly snorted .when they saw the bloomin' thing; said Bill would never make it work. It wasn't worth a ding! Bill didn't say a single -word, an’ didn't care a darn 'bout what they said, fer slick as grease, his hay went in the barn an hour before a thunder storm came sailin' out that way and caught his neighbors in a pinch and spoiled their new mown hay.
