Oh l love the sea-the calm, blue sea-
When it rests meath the summer skv:"
While the golden stars of evening seem
Far down in the depths to lie.
And when it waves in the sunlight dance,
Like merry child at play,
love to sit on the rocky shore
And dream the hours away.
love the sea-the mighty SEAL
When the storm-king rushes by.
Lashing the soft waves into foam,
And hurling them mountains high.
I gaze on it then with silent awe,
And my heart stands almost still,
AS think of the wondrous power Of Him
Who hushed the storm at will

Breeding SCVs.

We do not know that Minnesota will
ever compete with more southerly
latitude in the raising of pork, but we
believe that it pays, and that the day
is not far distant when more attention
will be bestowed to it than there is
now. In the selection of breeding
sows, it is necessary that one rule
should be observed, and that is age.
4 writer truthfully says:
Experienced growers Of swine have
demonstrated by careful trial and years
of observation that breeding by young
sows-that is. those not yet matured
in their own growth-should be utter
ly discouraged. No sow should be per.
mitted the care and nourishing little
pigs until her own body has attained
its full proportions. Nature is the
same in its economy, whether mani.
tested towards the animate or inani.
mate. The tree or vine should not be
permitted to bear much any fruit
until it has reached a condition that
all it's energies are not required to
grow branches and top. A young
mother, if still under her natural de-
velopment, will withhold from her lit
ter much that she might do for them
did she not consume by her own needs
and physical demands a percentage
that should 60 to them. The tendency
and result of permitting this is a
dwarfing of the breed. IF continued
in the same family for a few genera.
tions, they will fall off from fifty to
one hundred pounds per head.
An increased age of a sow is no OBJ
lection. Better keep her until she is
even three: or four years old before
breeding be permitted and having
first secured the stock or kind you dc.
sire to grow, keep her as breeder
until she is dozen or fifteen years
old, as pigs, from old sows will aver.
age much heavier than those from
young ones.

Primitive Warfare.

From tho London Daily News.
The MoHtenegrin method of making
war is very primitive. A Russian of.
ficer, who visited their country, and
studied it, tells us that a Montenegrin
never sues for mercy and whenever
one Of them is severely wounded, and
it is impossible to save him from the
enemy, his own comrades cut off his
head. When at the attack of Clobuck,
a small detachment of Russian troops
were obliged to retreat, an officer OF
stout make, and no longer young, fell
on the ground from exhaustion: A
Montenegrin, preceiving it., ran imme.
diately to him, and, having drawn his
yatagan, said, "You are very brave,
and must wish that I should cut off
your head. Say prayer, and make a
sign of the Cross" The officer, horri-
fed at the proposition, made an effort
to rise, and rejoined his comrades with
the assistance of the friendly Monten-
grin. They consider all those who
have been taken by the enemy as kill
ed. They carry out of the battle their
wounded comrades on their shoulders.
Arms, a small loaf of bread, a cheese,
some garlic, little brandy, an old
garment, and two pair of sandals made
Of raw.hide, form all the equipage of
the Montenegrins. On their march
they do not seek any shelter from rain
or cold. In rainy weather the Monten.
grin wraps around his head the stroeka
"a shawl of course cloth), lies down
on the ground and, putting his rifle
under him. sleeps very comfortably.
Three or four hours of repose are quite
sufficient for his rest, and the remain.
der of his time is occupied in constant
exertion. It is impossible to retain
in the reserve, and it seems that they
cannot calmly bear the view of the
enemy. The tactics of the Montene.
|grins are cinfned to being skillfu]
marksmen. A stone,a hole, a tree offer
them cover from the enemy. Firing
usually in prostrate position on the
ground, they are not easily hit, while
their rapid and sure shots carry de.
struction into the closed ranks of a
regular army. They have besides a
well-practiced eye for judging of dis.
tance, and thoroughly understand how
to take advantage of the ground. Oh
coarse it will always be difficult to EN-
|ploy uch warriors against regular

Antiquity Of the Tomato,

aAU4OAtJ VI GuO AOl40tVs
Science Gossip, an English Journal,
in the relation to the time which has
elapsed since the tomato was cultivat-
ed in gardens, states that Galen, who
lived in the second century, uses the
name Lycopersicum, now applied to
the tomato, but it is not known to
what plant he alludes. But an Italian
writer, in 1861, thinks Galen meant
the tomato. Dodoens, Dutch botan.
ist, describes it as grown in his time
lin 1881 as an eaten dressed with pep
per, vinegar and oil. Gesard mentions
1t in his ''Herbal" in 1897, and calls it
Pomum Amoris, and describes red and
yellow fruited sorts. Parkinson, in
1856, says it is cultivated only for Gu
riosity, and ''for the amorous aspect or
beauty of the fruit A century af-
terwards Miller states it was used in
soups. Coming down later, we remem-
Der it's extensive use on the table,
cooked and uncooked, about the year
1925. To this we may add that only
since the last thirty years has the to-
mato been well known for it's edible
qualities in the United States, and on.
ly since twenty years has this valuable
esculent come into general use, and
been appreciated as it deserves.

A Mean Device.

There was a score or more of women
gathered together at Mr.. Johnson's s
house. Mr.. johnson is good. hearted
man and respectable citizen, though
he is rather skeptical about some
things. The women had just orga
nized "The Foreign Benevolent So

the room. He was at once appealed t0
to donate few dollars as a foundation
to work on, and Mrs. Graham added:
sit would be so pleasant in after
years for you to remember that you
gave this society its first dollar and its
first kind word.''
He slowly opened his wallet, drew
out $40 bill, and as the ladies
smacked their lips and clapped their
hands, he asked
'Is this society organized to aid the
poor of foreign countries %
"Yes-yes--yes!'' they chorused.
''And it wants money?''
"Yes-yes"
'Well, now," said johnson, as he
folded the bill in tempting shape,
"there are twenty married women
here. If there are fifteen of you who
can make oath that you have combed
your children's hair this morning,
washed the dishes. blacked the cook.
