Cutting Stalks.

1.-THE old-fashioncd way" of harvesting
corn was to cut the stalks as soon as the
corn was glazed, leaving the butts to
stand until the corn was ripe and ready to
harvest Some farmers still adhere To
this practice, but the majority have aban-
doned il for what seems to us the far pre-
ferable way Of cutting up the entire
growth Of corn as soon as the kernels are
well glazed. The saving by this method
is both in labor and fodder.
II is much easier TO cut up the stalks
when they are green and soft than after
they are dry and hard, and man can
probably cut and shock the whole growth
as easily as he can cut the tops one by one
and carry them together and out of the
field To he cured.
If the entire stalks are cut up as soon
as the corn is glazed, nearly all of the
leaves will remain unhurt by the frost,
and the stalks, instead Of ripcning into
woody fibres which no beast will cat, will
cure and remain sweet and edible. When
corn is once shocked the farmer may
gather and husk it at his leisure; the
stalks are all cured when he takes them
to his barn and will neither mould nor
rot.
Standing corn wastes badly after the
husks begin to loosen about the ears
is broken down and eaten by SPUR
rels and birds. When the tops
are cut, the butts which remain standing
till late in the fall are nearly worthless
for fodder. For these reasons we advise
our farmer friends to cut and shock their
corn.
We know it is claimed by some that the
corn ripens better when exposed to the
sun and is heavier than when ripened in
shocks, but this Is very doubtful, and
even if it be admitted that we get one or
two per cent. less corn than we should TO

GOLDEN DELL.
BY PAUL H. HAYNE.


Beyoud our moss grown pathway lies
a doll 80 fair. TO genial eyes,
II dawns an ever-fresh surprise.
To touch It's charms with gentler grace,
The sOftened heavens loving face
Bend DER that sweet, secluded place.
There first. despite the March winds cold, y
Above the pale-hued emerald mould,
The earliest spring tide buds unfold;
There FIRST the ardent mock bird, long
winters dumb thral. from winters wrong,
Break into gleeful floods Of song;
Till firm coy thrush TO garulous wren,
The humber bards of copse and glen
Outponr their vernal notes again;
While such harmonious rapture rings,
With stir and fash OF eager wings
Glimpsed heetly, where the jasmine clings
To bosk and brier--we blithely say,
:. FAREWELL bleak nights and mornings gray,
Earth opes her festal court to-day"
There, first, from ont some balmy nest,
BY half grown woodbine flowers caressed,
Steal zephys of the mild southwest
Der purpling rows of wild wood peas
SO blandly borne, the droning bees
Still suck their honeyed cores at ease;
Or, trembling through yon verduous mass,
Dew starred, and dimpling as they pass,
The wsvclets Of the billowy grass!
But fairest Of fair things that dwell,
Mid sylvan musings Of the dell,
Ia that clear stream whose murmurs swell
To music's ARREST issues wrought,
As IL Q Maids tongue were fraught
With secrets Of its whispered thought.
Yea, fairest OF fair things, 1t flows
'Twixt banks of violet and OF rose,
Touched always by quaint repose.
How golden bright its currents glide!
While goldenly from side to side
Bird shadows fit athwart the tide.
So Golden Dell we name the place,
And aye may heavens serenest face
Dream DER 1t with smile Of grace;
For next the moss-grown path it lies,
So pure, so fresh, to genial eyes
1t CLOVIS with hints Of Paradise.

As a streetcar was crossing Almond
street. st. Louis, the other evening, q
heavy transfer wagon collided with it and
broke its brake. The Car started again,
but the horse became frightened and ran
away, and, in endeavoring to check him,
the driver broke the other brake, and the
car became unmanageable. There was
another car Immediately in advance filed
with ladies who became greatly alarmed
at the prospect of being run into, and
jumped from the car in the lace OF the
runaway horse. Mrs. O'Malley was run
over, and her skull SO badly fractured tha'
she died in few minutes. MIS-. Mary
Ryan had her leg broken, and nearly
every one in the car was more or less IN
iured. The driver of the runaway horse
was also badly bruised and cut.

-Fisherman's Peak, near Mt Whitney,
in Inyo Co, Cal, is now proved to be the
highest mountain in the United States.
Its summit was recently reached by one
exploring party, after a severe effort.
The summit is of granite and flat-topped.
Water was found in natural basin in
the rock. and ice and snow round about.
The party built monument to comment
crate what there is good reason to be.
lievo was the first visit ever made by
white men TO the spot. The ascent was
made from the southwest and the des.
cent nearly west. Both, routes were very
steep, not 10 say dangerous and most la
borious, as the party had to climb along
the sharp, serrated crests of the rocky ribs
on the mountain side.

Of consideration in view of the far greater

THESE PAINTS are composed of PURE
Il WHITE LEAD, ZINC and L1NsEED OIL,
with other materials which add greatly to the
durability, elasticity, beauty and strength of
the Paint. The whole are chemically COM
bined, so that the pigments are held in per-
manent solution, thus forming a smoothe,
glossy, firm, elastic, beautiful and durable
Paint. The Oil, which is the real life of
the Paint, cannot leave it and be absorbed
by the substance to which it is applied, as it
does in the paints mixed in the ordinary
way, and thus leave the pigment dead and
brittle, to wash and rub off in few months,
or at farthest in three or four years. This
Paint is unaffected by changes of tempera-
ture is perfectly impervious to the action of
water, is well adapted to all classes of work,
and is in every way better Paint for either
INSIDE or OUTSIDE Work or Boat PAINTING,
than any other Paint known to the trade,

Dinner to the Ship-masters in Port at the
Hawaiian Hotel.

The address to His Royal Highness Prince LUNA
LILO, which was reported in Tuesdays Semi-Weekly,
led to a very pleasant conviviaI occasion. The depu-
tation of ship-masters, Captains Dowden, Red6eld,
Hamil, Forbes, Hickman, Shepherd, Hampstead, and
Finch, in company with the American Consul, Mr..
Nation, and Mr.. W. NJ. Gibson, sat down together
to a dinner prepared for the occasion at the Hawaiian
Hotel.
The affair. in respect to the entertainment, did
honor to the cuisine of the establishment and to
the excellent management of the proprietor. Our
Hotel is now HnquestiOnably an honor and a credit
to the country.
This convivial occasion was made highly interest

being drank, Mr.. Gibson responded He said there
was evidently the promise of a new departure, and a
better era. We expect a new King who inspires the
most interesting hopes. He throws of the incubus of
past and hurtful influences, and rises up with
strength and dignity to meet the occasion. We felt
to-day in our pleasant encounter with him, that he
was a magnetic man; and his words, coming sponta-
neously from his own thought, proved also to us that
he was a wise and thoughtful man, and moreover n
gentleman, a noble Prince and a statesman. Whilst
speaking modestly of himself, he recognized the i'm
portance of the material progress of the country and
expressed his determination that the interests of all
the people, foreign as well as native. should in thu
event of his being called TO a position of responsible
iy receive his fostering care. This is a noble utter
