Indemnity Lands.

Some two or three years ago a
withdrawal was made Of what j.
technically called "the indemnity
limits Of the Northern Pacific" This
withdrawal Is ten alternate sections
in width outside the granted limits.
Recently the validity Of the in
dcmnity withdrawal has been ques-

Secretary Of the Interior a. answer

by saying: in reply to your sug-

and wondered where Octavia was
and why the dpple-tree had bl0omed
in April, and so fell asleep, and woke
und slept again, and crcpt back to
life reluctantly, as many a poor soul
has done before and since. And in
the watches Of one long June night,
when the neighbOr who nursed him
slept In the other room, when the
wind stirred gently in the apple-tree
bOughs, and the moths fiuttered
HbOut the candle on the floor, and
the heavy beetles knocked against
the ceiling, there came to Cyrus,
tossing on his bed, n vision Of Octav.
Ia, the woman that he loved. She
sat beside him and held his hand, or
moved about the room and minister
cl to him tenderly-a gentle spirit,
far kinder and more loving than the
living counterpart had ever been.
And from that night the vision
never left him. Even when he was
well and lit the fire in his forge once
mOre-when his arm grew tlrong,
and his hand as skillful rs bef0re-he
still clung to the idea that Octavia
was his wife, that she lived in the
small house beside the forge, and
tended the flowers in the little gar
den, and watched the bees in their
hives under the apple-trees. The
kindly neighbors all helped him in
little ways, hut in all that was done
he saw only the hand Of his wife.
At first some upright souls would
try to convince him that his wife was
but the shadOwy creation Of his own
crazed brain but he only shook his
head pityingly. 'Hain't We never
seen her when.y was to the hOuse%

THINGS A FARMER SHOULD NOT DO

A farmer should never break up more
land than he can cultivate thoroughly; |
5half.tilled land is always growing
poorer, while well titled land is con-
stantly improving. A thrifty and pru-
dent farmer will not devote his sole at
tention to the improvement of certain
fields on his farm, because the land is
steasy to work at" and let other por-
tions of his premises go uncultivated,
and grow nothing but brush, hogs,
briers and stones.
A farmer should never have more
cattle, horses or other animal stock
than he can keep in good order. An
animal in good order at the beginning
of winter is already half wintered
Nor should he let his cattle endure the
chilling storms of winter in an opct
ward or field, whilst q few dollars cN
nent,ed in the way of making comfort
able stables would amply repay him il
saving fodder, and afford create
amount Of milk.
a farmer should never depend to
much ON his neighbors for what he cal
nv careful management produce on hi
own land. He should not make it
common practice to either buy or be
fruit while he can plant trees ana Gu
tivate them on his own ground-n6
annoy his neighbors by borrowin
tools to work with, while he can max
or buy them. "The borrower is Sc
want TO the lender"
a farmer should never be so In
mersed in political matters as to ne
lect doing his various kinds OF work
due season, and to snug up matters al
things for winter: nor should he DO
ipattentive to politics as to rema
ignorant of those great questions
