Is Since the time of Poe, American lit
erature has wonderfully advanced in
the acquisition OF force and polish.
American aoyelists, for example, almost
! give us lessons in careful elaboration Of
style, in retioence and in well-calculated
effects. American poets are, perhaps,
too numerous. That they got hearing
as they! do, and appeal to really large
public. say much for the interest of the
people, in contemporary verses. In
form, ins4iae mere art Of yersifying, even
the minors American poets of to-day
show wonderful versatility and deft.

Poe) is due in part to the influence Of
that critic. His method is as unlike tile
method of Mr.. Matthew Arnold as pos

of influence. Like Mr.. Arnold he intro
duced some tinge of French thought
and Of French literature into the work
nauship of his countrymen.
Perhaps he was not wide reader,
and the element of ahectation in his ma

of obscure Latin authors and in his
Oriental allusions. It is hayd to say
how much knowledge was implied in
these llusions-how rich the mine was
from which Poe dug these sparkling
fragments, Still, he judged the writer's

other iteratures. As he was quite ruth

Remedy fos. Smut in Wheat,

Remedy for Smut IN Wheat.
Take ten pounds of blue stone to one
ton Of wheat; dissolve the blue stone in
water. Fill a large barrel or trough half
full OF water. A trough is more conve.
nient. Then put in enough of the blue
stone water 50 that when the wheat has
been in the water four or five minntes the
broken grains will have greenish look
when they get dry. We dip in the sacks
for convenience, and leave the sack in
from five to ten minutes. To leave them
in five or six hours would damage the
grain. Leave it in the sacks any lengtl,
of-time after it is dipped; it will not hurt
it.--Indiana Farmer,

MY DEAR FARMERs-Wife and self are
thinking of going west to select new
home and again grow up with the coun-
try. And. as you are farmers of experi-
ence, we thought we would ask your ad-
vice about making location and how to
run farm. What do you think would
be the show for us to plant an orange
grove in your section of the country, and
do you think we could dispose of the
fruit at fair living price? Again, would
there be much competition in the busi-
ness, and how many carloads do you ex-
pect to raise this season, and will you send
them south. west, east or north for :
market? Now. won't you please tell us
about how many Thousand bushels can
be raised on an acre, and what are they
worth per bushel, on the tree, or do they
grow in the ground2 How large do the
trees grow on which pumpkins are raised,
and is the wood of the tree suitable for
building purposes, or is it only used for
fuel or for both purposes2 Please tell
US how many thousand acres of pumpkin
trees you have in each of your quarter
sections; is the fruit now in its green or
yellow state, and how is the fruit low
cred from the tree to the ground? Is the
fruit a summer variety2 Do you have
any winter frosts in your section of the
country, or is it always perpetual sum
mer and sunshine? We have been in
formed that the. climate of your country
is very much like that of Southern Italy.
Do you have any Italian beggars, or any
that serenade you nightly with the harp
when you are having pleasant dreams
When you are breaking prairie do the
horses draw the plow or does the plow
draw the. horses27 About howssmany
hundred acres can plow turn over in q
day? When the sod is turned over does
the grass grow down into the ground, or,
if not, what becomes of it? HAVe you
plauted fish orchard yet, DIDO they
thrive best in the ground. Are they BIZ
pcds or quadrupeds, and do you consider
them dangerous III their wild or native
state? And last, but by no means the
least, my dear farmers, do the girls spark
the boys or do the boys spark the girls,
or can the sparkling be done by a third
party7 Please state what constitutes y
legal courtship in Dakota, and if man
is allowed to have more than one wife, or
wife to have more than one husband,
and does the man have to obey the wife,
or the wife the husband, ordo they take
