Over the wheat the long hours passed
1ill ripe for the harvest it stood ut last:
So slow, so sure. so strange. so sweet
Groweth in silence the golden wheat.
Over the wheat the silent sky
Opened out to the stars so high:
Under the wheat the silent ground
Deepened down to the dark profound.
And the birds that over the wheat field flew
Could tell OF its secret as much as you;
For never wise man lived who know

To Prevent Pneumonia.

As pneumonia is essentially conges-
tive disease, the best preventive meas
ures are those which avoid the causes
of congestion. Pulmonary congestion
is favored by too heavy clothing worn
In winter weather. A serious error Is
the supposition that double set or
tlannels worn next the skin affords
double protection. The fact is that IN
such case the inner flannel absorbs
all secretion and perspiration, which
are there retained by the outer flannel.
An almost poultice like act on IS thus
brought about, softening the skin and
rendering it highly susceptible to the
slightest exposure.
Over-heated, ilI-ventilated rooms
and the sudden transition from these
to the sharp outer air. are other avoid
able predisposing causes of the disease.
He who uses cold sponge bath-with
brisk rubbing every morning. who
wears the highest clothing consistent
with comfortable protection, and keeps
his lving-rooms well ventilated and at
mean temperature of 6S deg, is en-
ploying the best preventive treatment
OF pneumonia known to sanitary
science.-Congregatioaalist.

indispensable Farm Requirements.

The farmer who is determined to sue
ceed will place on his list of indispens-
ahle requirements the following opera
tions: 1. The erection of sufficient
fences to give him possess on and con-
troll of every field. 2. Thorough or
sufficient undertaking for the use and
control of at least three feet of the soil
beneath the surface. 3. The adoption
of sach a rotation as will give an in
crease of each successive kind of crop.
and a decrease and determination to
weeds as have obtained possession. 4.
Saving ell the manure made on the
farm with no waste. and its application
at the best time and in the best manner
possible. 5. Providing tools for most
thorough pulverization of the soil for
all crops. These five operations lie at
the foundation of good farming. There
are many other provisions of much i'm
portance in addition to these, which
should not be overlooked, such as the
saving of labor. selection of seeds, pro-
vding the best animals, shelter for
tools. shelter for animals. testing COM
mercial fertilizers. and many other
operations which VIII suggest them
selves to the owner while in the midst
of his work. - Country Gentleman.

later. in order that it may not get

" here wheat has been put in with a

harrow just before sowing the grass

the seed to fall on, and. besides, pre-
vents the bulk of the grass seed from
falling into the drill burrows. where
they will crowd and be crowded by the
grain. -Prairie Farmer.

An Extraordinary Accident.

The other evening an extraordinary
and fatal accident occurred at Chat
ham, England. The superintendent OF
the military balloon constructive branch
of the School of Military Engineering
was instructing some subordinates in
the charging of steel tubes with COM
pressed hydrogen gas to be used in in
flating balloons on field service. The
tubes consist of steel cylinders two feet
long and four inches in diameter. He
had taken one in his hands and applied
the vacuum pump when, from some
unexplained reason. it exploded with
terrific force, striking him in the abdo-
men and killing him on the spot. Major
Templar, Chief of the Balloon Depart
ment, was Immediately summoned, ana
doctors fetched, but nothing could, OF
course, be done for the unfortunate
man. This is the first accident of the
kind.-N. Y. Post.

HOW GREELEY WAS SOLD.
A Story Told by the Alleged Discoverel
of Pixies Peak

of Pixies Peak
Green Russell, of Lumpkin County,
Georgia, went to California in the early
days of the gold excitement of that
country. made handsome fortune, re-
turned to Georgia, bought the big
Savannah plantation on the Etowah
River. in now Dawson County, and
quietly retired to his farm. but when
Kansas was opened to settlers his rest
less naind carried him out there. He
entered large body of land on the
Big Blue River, from which point he
explored the then Territory of Kansas
and reached the Rocky Mountains, TAX
ing with him tools to prospect for
gold.
In going to the mountains he fol-
lowed up the Arkansas River to its
source at the foot of Pixies Peak, then
turning north across the ridge dividing
the waters of the Arkansas and Platte
Rivers he struck Cherry Creek, about
fifty miles west of now Denver City.
Here, with his test pan. he found gold
from the drifted sand. He followed
the creek on to where it emptied into
the South Platte River, and there es-
tablished headquarters at what is now
Denver City, from which point he pros
pected the country. finding gold almost
anywhere. He had with him two
brothers and one other man. This was
in the summer of 1858. In the fall he
left his brothers and the other man
and returned to Georgia. He says:
Horace Greeley was then making
his.famous trip across the continent,
and he took in Pixies Peak. 1 remem-

stage coach drove up he got out with
slouched hat and moccasin slippers on.
which he had gotten from the Indians.
/ talked with him little as he left the
stage. That night he made speech
to the miners, and advocated the form
ing of Territorial Government and
calling it Colorado. In day or two
Greeley went up into the Gregory dig
gings, and some sharpers had set trap
for him; they had opened there mine
and had collected quantity of gold
dust. had salted the pit and all got
sick. When Greeley got there they
told him what a fine mine they had
opened. and how fortune had turned
against them and they were not able to
work it. Greeley tested their mines,
found gold in abundance. and finally
struck a trade and paid the miners
$1,000 for the mine Cor claim). OF
course before Greeley worked out the
selted gold they were gone. "-Atlaasta

HOG DISEASES.
Common-Sense Directions For the Cure
Many Serious Ailments.

Cannon Sense Directions For the Cure of
Many Serious Ailments.
There are a great many other dis
eases beside the contagious ones with
which hogs are affected which call now
and then for victim. Among these are
rheumatism, inflammation of the lungs.
apoplexy, worms in the kidneys. stag
gers. constipation, piles and nearly all
of the disorders incident to the human
family. Including measles and mango.
All of these disorders, as well as those
which become epidemic. may be made
less by good care and the most excel
lent neutrality-suspicious.
The best of authorities are not agreed
as to the cause of the swine plague, or
exactly how it spreads. They are
equally at fault for remedy. The
best that can be done is to disinfect the
pens, troughs anc everything connect
ed with the diseased hogs, and to bury
or burn the dead. and to remove the
sick ones. as fast as they become affect
ed. from the we'll ones. The best dis
infectant is solution of carbolic acid,
