The whole story.

Oh yes, III tell you the story,
The very words that were said.
You see the supper was cooking,
And | was sliding some bread,
And Richard came into the pantry,
His lace WaS exceedingly red.
AID he opened his half-shut fingers,
And gave me 4 glimpse OF a ring;
And then, oh yes / remember,
The kettle began to sing,
And Fanny came In with her baby,
The cunningest bunch Of a thing.
And the biscuits were out In a minute
Well, what came next? Let me see
Oh. Fanny was there with-her baby,
And we all sat down to tea;
And grandma looked over her glasses
So queer at Richard and me.
But It wasn't til after milking
That he said what he had to say,
How was H2 Oh Fanny had taken
The baby and gone away
The funniest rogue OF Fellow
he had a new tooth that day.
We were standing under the plum-tret
And Richard said something low,
But was tired and illustrated,
And trembled, l almost know;
For old Red Is the hardest OF mixers,
And Brindle 20 horribly slow.
And then-let me see-where was 1?
Oh the stars grew thick OVERHEAD,

Graded STOCK.

Farmers, grade up your stock;
If you do not feel able to buy and
breed thoroughbred stock, breed
your common stock in the spring
to none but thoroughbred males.
Secure the services Of some Of the
thoroughbreds Of your neighbors,
or procure one of your own, and
when once you have a lot of grad
ed stock, either cattle, horses, hogs
or sheep, you will never raise
scrubs again; for farmers raise
stock for the purpose Of making
the most money out Of their farms
by feeding their crops rather than
sell the grain and bay 70 dealers.
Then the kind Of stock that viii
mature the quickest and grow the
largest is the most profitable for
meat, and it is now no longer a
question, but a settled fact, that
the grades Of common stock cross
ed with thoroughbred are more
profitable to Western farmers than
raising scrubs, while first cost of
grading up IS small compared. to
the actual profits in dollars md
cents. Too many farmers Just
here are penny-wise and pound
foolish; because they cannot get
fine thoroughbred males IS cheap
as common stock they don't Ike
to make the start-to mako the
first outlay-but the world moves
and our stock must improve with
everything else.

A writer says: The SpaniarSis and Peat
uguese would dislike each other much
less If they took the trouble to inquire into
the csuses uf the mutual aversion. They
seem 10 I've afraid Of too great a resem-
biance between them, though 70 an IN
concerned stranger nothing Is more
striking than their dis-iEdilarity. Al the
time ieft Madrid for Lisbon ! was told
+ should have no difficulty about the Ian
guAze, a. every Portuguese speaks span
ish. But | found THAT every man ad-
dressed here In the best Cassilian ! could
muster resented il As an affront If he con-
ceiyed that there could be any other
means of communication between us
ANYTHING more different than the accent
and fnionation Of the two dialects cannot
be imagined. The Portuguese IL Spanish
without its bone and nerve; II has some
thing Of the nasal twang OF the French
blended with some impossible German,
Russian and even Chinese dipthongs, and
lacks those harsh but energetic gutturals
which. for augilt we know, the SpanIards
inherited from the Arabic, but which, as
themselves think, they borrowed from the
German. The physi0gnomy OF the two
races presents an equally remarkable con
tra1. The Spaniard il impetuous, self
asserting. courteous but digniied, cordial,
ouispoken: the Portuguese is slow and
deliberate, self-concenirated, obliging on
second thoughts but instinctively guarded
and distant. II he speaks English ever
so little he ia Anglicized, waits for an In
PRODUCTION, and his conversation reveals
strange mixture OF shrewd sense and
deep-seated prejudice. Not quite satisfied
with himself, he has no lively sympathies
with his fellow beings, and, least Of all,
with his own neighbors. There Is moth
ing stronger than the Spaniard's frank
contempt Of the Portuguese; nothing more
sly than the sncering complacence with
which the Portuguese pities the Spaniard,
bewailing ealamities for which the suffer
er has no one 10 blame but himself
