Equality ofPoets.

Nothing is more foolish than to ask
whetherOnepOet is greater than another.
Flame is flame, and its weight is not to
be determined by pounds and ounces.
Only stupid huckster would bring his
miserable checse-scales and try to meas
ure genius by them. Not only the an
clients but many moderns, have written
poems in which the flame of poetry
burns just as brightly as in the MASTER
works of Shakespeare, Cervantes and
Goethe. But these names hold together
as if by secret bond. A kindred spirit
beams over their creations, an immortal
serenity pervades them like the breath
of God; in them shines the mOdesty of
nature. Goethe reminds one constantly
of Cervantes even in the peculiaritie,
of his style, in that easy prose which is
tinged with the sweetest and most in
nocent irony. Even in their defects
Cervantes and Goethe resemble each
other in prolixity of diction, in those
long sentences we often find in them,
snd which may be likened to a process
sion of royal equipages. Not seldom
only single thought sits in the long
extended sentence, which solemnly ad-
vances like a gilt court-eoach with six
plumed horses. But that one thou ught

sovereign himself.-TemPIe Bur

the least conceit; that Shakespeare bent

IN his celebrated voyage in search of

concerning the cause of things, found

pliers; that Newton compared himself

Cow Music

The COW has at least four tones, or
lows. First, there is her alarmed or
distressed low, when deprived of her
calf, or separated from her mates-her
low of affection. Then there is her
call of hunger, petition for food,
sometimes full of impatience, or her
answer 10 the farmers call full of Gag
erness. Then there is that peculiar
frenZied bawl she utters on smelling
blood, which causes every member of
the herd to lift its head and hasten to
the spOt-the native cry of the clan.
When she is gored, or in great danger,
she bawls also, but that is different.
And lastly, there is the long, sonOrous
voliey she lets of on the hills or in the
yard, or along the highway, and which
seems expressive of kind of unrest
and vague longing-the longing of
an imprisoned 10 for her lost identity

HEREFORD CATTLE.-For a few years
past. the Herefords have been making
progress at the West ard during the
fair season just closed have won many
honors in competition with the Short
Horns-taking, in Illonois, the sweep
stake and herd premiums; ; in Michigan.
the herd premium, in competition with
several of the leading Short Horn
premiums, and at the Centennial, max
ing one of the best shows of any herd
ON the grounds, though not brought in
competition with other breeds except
in the Canada stock. On the plains of
Colorado, Texas, and other OF the large
grazing districts of the great West, they
are rapidly gaining favor and will soon
be the leading breed. As grazing cat
tie, they have no competitors, and re-
tain their quality and stamp it on their
produce to a remarkable degree. Among
lot of steers brought from Colorado
few days since was one Hereford grade,
the rest being Short-Ho grades and
natives, and had all been bred and
grazed together. The Hereford grade
was taken out and sold at 4l2c., while
the rest of the lot sold for $50.
The time is now ut hand when the
Herefords are about to assume the rela-
tive position, as compared with other
breeds in this country, that they have
occupied in England for the last 100
years. This is now the centennial year
of the Herefords. Their breeding was
started in England by Mr.. B. Tompkins
of Hereford in ls66, and in this country

and have made such a start that when
the second shall come they will be the

there they have been distributed to the

\ CHEAP WOODLAND FENCE.-Take
unsharped rails, make the fence three
rails high, as follows: Let one end of
each rail rest on the ground, raising the
other end as high as you want the
fence. The first rail is secured in is
place by two stakes driven in the
ground in the form of an Y. The next
rail is placed some feet behind the one
staked, so that when two stakes are
driven into the ground, and resting on
the rail already in position, they will
support the second rail at the proper
height, and thus the fence is continued,
the stakes supporting the upper rail, 4, and
also holding the next under one firmly
down under the cross.
