pEslls or pole CLIMBERS.

A western telegraph pole climber
tells . stirring tale Of the hartshipe
endured by men Of his trade. They
are often forced to climb rotten poles.
especially In the rural districts. In
one case, when pole broke under him
he fell on to the cross-piece. and the
wires let him down gently to the
ground. But perhaps the greatest
danger 10 from the electricity. which
sometimes knocks men from the poles.
In damp weather. especially, they are
liable To receive severe shocks when
they touch two wires 1t once with
different parts Of their bodies. The
climbs said: II tell you IL IL fear
ful contract to undertake To fix bro
ken wire on wet day. j have seen
some Of the boys kick and squirm on
the cross-pieces, and yell 50 loudly that

he reached the first cross-piece he

MulcHlNo.

The occurrence Of severe drcughts
should bring to mind every legitimate
measure for adverting disastrous con-
seauencee. The importance Of mulch.
ing IL not recognized by the farming
classes iI that broad and general way
which its efficiency would warrant.
The common idea of mulching con-
fines its application to young fruit,
trees. and even then with but . vague
notion Of reasons or principles In the
connections. No better illustration OF
mulching exists than a reference to
the woods, where season after season
the ground IL strewn with leaves. II
upon the hottest day Of the dryest
season these leaves are turned over,
the ground beneath will be found cool
and moist. Leaves thus spread upon
the ground check evaporation. retaina
the moisture upon the surface. thus
keeping the soil cool, . coalition u
vorsble to the growth Of almost al
trees, especially to fruit trees.
These leaves also retain the moisture
which falls upon them, While the tree.
themselves really form . mulch and
prevent rapid evaporation Of moisture.
SNOW actD In the nature Of winter
mulch, holding . certain amount Of
ammonia which descends from the
atmosphere.
This mulch Of snow prevents the
frost from penetEating deeply ineo the

THE HONEY LOCUST.

The honey locust Is my favOrite for

this locality fine trees. bearing plen ty
of seed, are growing near the union
of the Mulberry and Saline.
Six years ago procured and planted
some seed from thornless trees from

now fifteen feet high and from eight to
ten inches around at the ground. The
seed sold by Kansas seed houses, prove
worthless, being gathered from IA

The locust is very easily grown from
seed, even in the driest season, as II
will lie in the ground for months with.
out harm, aud after warm rain spring
up rapidly and make growth Of sew
eral feet the first season. When once
fairly started il IL hard to destroy.
Cattle may break 1t down and fire
scorch it, but as long as the root is
alive II will start again.
The comparatively slow growth Of
hard wood should not deter US from

take the quicker-growing varieties in

varieties of trees indigenous to Cen

prices for trees that have not yet been
tried sufficiently, and which tree deal

make on them. u.

LEGENDS OF THE WEDDING RING.

In the DAYS well known to history
as "Once upon time" "A certain noble
Roman youth was deeply engaged i'm
the excitement Of game of ball. The
occasion was an important one to him,
for il was his wedding feast, but the
play made him careless of treasure
that he ought to have guarded with the
greatest affection. He took off his
wedding ring and placed il upon the
finger of a statue of Venus, to remain
there until he should want it again.
When, however, a few hours after, he
wished to take 1t, he found to his dis
may that the stony hand had become
clenched, SO that it was impossible to
remove the ring. He now had to pay
the penalty of his rashness. for he was
constantly haunted by the figure,
which kept whispering i'm his ear
Embrace me. l am Venus whom
you have welded. I will never re-
store your ring" The wretched youth
continued to be followed by this dis
agreeable companion until. after much
difficulty, he was able, with the assis-
lance of a priest, to force the goddess To-
relinquish the ring. and then only was
the young man tree. This legend Is
widely spread. and has been popular

stories are peculiarly interesting as ex-
