of people in food, is it any wonder that
there are diseased gums, decayed teeth,

digestion? See to it that you escape these

How Soil Was Made.

Prof. Agassiz says that all the
materials on which agricultural pro.
gress depends are decomposet rocks
not so much those that underlie the
soil, but those on the surface, and
ground to powder by the glaciers.
Ice all over the continent is the
agent that has ground out more soil
than all other agencies put together
The penetration Of water in the
rocks, frosts, running water, and
baking suns have done something,
but the glaciers more. In a former
age the whole United States was
covered with ice several thousand
feet thick; and this ice moving from
north to south by the attraction of
the tropical warmth or pressing
weight of the snow and ice, behind
ground the rocks over it which
passed into the paste which we call
soil. These masses of ice can be
tracked by the hunter. He has made
study of them in this country, as
far south as Alabama, but has OBJ
served the same phenomenon in Eu-
rope, particularly in Italy, where,
among the Alps, glaciers are now
in progress. The stones and rocks
ground and polished by the glaciers
can easily be distinguished from
those sclat ched by running water,
and can be accounted for only in
this way.

RAKIN0 HAY.

RAKIN0 HAY.
Twas In the days OF moving
With honest arm and scythe;
When neighbors helped IN aeighbors' field
And harvest hands were blithe.
For me, grew o stripping
They called me half hand
Among tho stalwart, sun-browned men
Who titled the clover land.
The rythmic swing Of sinews
Was regular and strong;
The even.measurcd moving stroke
frat set my soul to song.
Sweet music of the whetstones,
Like morning bells in chime,
Toned soothngly lite's harsl,er sounds
MY heart still beating time.
Right bravely marched the mowers
Knec-deep in towering grass;
They ranged according to their skill
Like schoo-boys in II class.
And strength was brought to trial,
And strove with wrestler's wroth-
Who could the smoothest stubble cut,
And who the widest swath!
How proudly streve the leader
The swiitest and the best
He held His place cut or two
Ahead of all the rest;
Allowed no one to lead him
The breadth Of brawny hand -
A master of the mowing-craft,
lie ruled the clOver-land.
The morning beams came glancing
The Auttering tree-tops thro',
Like golden bills of birds that bent
To sip the sparkling dew.
And then, in soft Woodworking,
Began the harvest.day,
And all hands-girls and boys and men
Were merry making hay.
There came choice of partners
Who could the best agree,
And lots were drawn by glanccs quick
Kate always fell to me
Now turn thy glass, o Mem'ry,
Upon that harvestday,
Which poured its sunshine over mo
And Katie making hay
The morning call of luncheon
To grassy table laid
Assembled all the haymakers
Beneath lone trees shade
A bliss Of rest and breathing
BY leafy fingers famed
And then another haying heat
Raced DER the SiOver-land.
We spread the swaths commpglng
In beds of rustling brown,
And rich tield-odors tioated mp
On wings of feathery down.
Then rolled the ridgy windows
The triumphs Of the day:
Idreamed DER triumphs of a life
With Katie rakinS hay.
She looked all-ovcr bonnet
OF gingham-blue and white
Her faces roses in the shade
Glanced out their own sweet light.
Her rake could get cntangled
Sometimes, by locking mine,
And when she said: provoking thing"
Zen quarreling was divine
A spring of bubDling waters
Welled up in woodside cool,
And ever ut the field's-end hedge
Both thirsted for the pool.
She drank from out u goblet
made her of my hands,
And, kneeling at her feet, quaffed
From cup of golden sands.
The last load in the twilight
Dragged slowly towards the stack
So like great brown burly beast
With children OH its back:
And 1ecky clouds hung over,
OF softest creamy hue,
Like handfuls plusked from cotton bales
And dashed against the blue.
I'm dreaming now of daytime,
The fields and skies are bright;
see among the harvestcrs
bonnet-blue and white
And Katies face is in it,
A shade. it may be, tanned
But It's the fairest face of all
That grace the clover land.
The clover crop was gathered
In harvests long ago;
Another partner Katie chose
For life's uphill windrow.
But O, of all the sunshine
That ever blest day
The crown still shmmers Overme
And Katie raking hay.
Prom The AMinc for July.
