When up the splendid azure dome
The sun his glorious orbit sweeps,
Pale Dian with her bOwi Of foam
Far OIL 'moug dusSy shadows creeps;
Their rays no more than points OF sand,
The STAR put out their puivertng light.
And wait somewhere iu No-mans land
Like owlets for the coming night.
Though from the east his rosy CLEANS

And sends athwart the distant hills
The hills whose crc-ts like Glen storm-cloud

The -prites and clfins keep their tryst
Eut meath those rays whose wondrous hues

While Zephyr free the fair hair shakes,

Next Zephyr waits the sheeny spray;
While Ope their hearts the thirsty flowers,
Old zephyr steals their sweets away
When "a the eve the muexxins' call
Rises and falls like wavelet's crest,
From efiu wings the shadows fall,
And crowd him rudely toward the West
Net ere he sinks from out the sky,
Droops be awhile o'er oceans breast
And waits for Zephyrs farewell sigh,
Then sad and slow they sink 10 rest.

During the winter oats have sold in
Dakota, as we learn from late trip,
for twelve and one half cents and up

cents. And yet friend who hired all
his farming done said it cost him six
tv-six cents to raise a bushel of wheat.
why not compare prices and profit by
it. 1t takes a bushel and half OF
oats to buy a pound of cheese or beef
steak. A bushel of wheat will buy
nearly three pound of beef, or four
dozen of eggs. With oats yielding
fiftv bushels the gross income. besides
the the threshing, would be five dol
lars per acre. Even hay at four dol
lars per ton is better.
