How to Grow the Best Beef.

Farmers IN general hardly realize the
extent to which their future success
with cattle depends upon grading up
to q high point. Irefer now to feeding
cattle, that Is, such as are bred Ii aim
ly for meat production. Stock gre W.
ing and general farming are by many
said not to be as remuuerative as for
merly. Over production is said to be
the cause CT this. If this applied to
cattle, it is certainly not to the higher
grades, but to the lower, for, no mat
ter how hard the times, or how de-
pressed the industries in general are,
the higher classes of steers always sell
quickly at good figures. Since the dis
covery-for it should take rank as one
of the discoveries of the age-that it is
more profitable to feed cattle for meat
production from early calfhood up to
the period when they rate as long
yeerlings or at most as 2-year-olds or
81 little past, it is indispensable that
high grading up be practiced, as we
cannot have marketable steers at the
ages named unless they are bred from
thoroughbred, or at least high grade
stock
1hS 1OblOll ny UlaDV
that young beef THAT is, of the age
namely is to such a degree immature
called, decisively, "baby beef'-as
to be iunutritious, is g. very palpable
error. After the calf ceases to suckle
its dam, depending thereafter upon
food like that gwen to grown-up cat
tie, the meat ceases to be veal, and, in
every sense of the word, is beef, as Gu-
tritious from long yearling as from
q 4-year-old. 1t contains that same
fibrine and the meat juices are the
same, though, of course, the fibre is
more tender than that of the OK,
without being less nutritious. In
fact, 1t Is a question not yet settled at
just what age meat OF any kind be-
gins to lose ground, in point OF nutri-
tiousness, by reason of having too
much age, becoming, as it is quite la

CHAPTER II.
THE lone CARIN

| awoke the next morning to find that l
was again a lone tramp in the mountains.
My pard bad departed from me as unex-
pectedly as he had come TO me. Inwardly
disguised, probably with bad luck, and not
wishing to interfere in my case. he had
folded his blankets in the darkness of
night, and silently stolen away on his pony.
| was rather sorry to lose his company, but
didn't allow myself to bewai his departure,
taking it as something that was to be.
Three months later | was a long way
north of our buried mine, camping in the
Yellowstone Park. in the remotest corner
of Wyoming l was laying off for rest,
creation. ana reflection. To tell the
truth, | was disguised with gold hunting,
and in this sportsman's paradise l was re-
solved to stay for an indefinite period, let
ting the syndicate slide. | could be happy
here without gold mine, and with very
little gold, and | had enough to tide me
along for long time.
One day | was moved to look over some
papers which | carried in a wallet In the
breast pocket of nv buckskin frock and
which L had not looked at for months. The
first paper to hand was one | had never be-
fore seen, containing pencil writing which
| had never read The date le this paper
was that on which my whilom pard so mys-
terlous.y disappeared, the contents as FOL
lows:
"HANK-If you ever wander north into
the country of the Blackfoot gang, look for
Redlys Tomb in the Belt mounta rs.
Jack"
Then followed, on the left of the sheet,
dlsmembered writing, reading thus:
"Ihree days easy riding

Education for the Farmer.

In q thoughtful address before the
Pennsylvania. Board of Agriculture,
M. W. Oliver of Crawford County, re-
marked as follows: The opinion has
too long prevailed that the most or
binary common-school education is
sufficient for him who is to be only a
farmer. Thousands of farmers excuse
themselves for not giving their sons
and daughters higher education on
the ground that their boys are expect
ed 10 be farmers and their girls farm
ers' wives. 1t is not strange, there
fore, when a farmers son or daughter
is given the advantages of getting q
good education, it implies engaging in
some other pursuit than farming and
the becoming of some other mans wife
than O. farmers. From childhood,
the impression has been stamped on
their minds that on the farm
there is no use for any great de-
gree of knowledge, no field for in
telligence, no scope for intellectual &C
tivity. So the boy and girl with a
thirst for knowledge and an aspiration
10 be and to do something in the world
are driven to look beyond the sphere
of the farm for O. field for the develop
ment of their intellectual powers and
the qualification of their aspiration
for honor and usefulness Is it any
wonder, then, that the bright, ambi-
tious boys-those vino would give tone
and honorable standing to farming as
calling-should break away from the
farm? How to keep more of this class
of boys on the farm is q question seri-
ously agitating the minds of very
many farmers Just now The first
step towards this is to recognize the
fact that farmer needs as much edu-
cation as he would require to prepare
him to enter any other pursuit. There
seems to be scarcely any branch of
knowledge that may not be OF use to
him, not only by elevating his
thoughts and developing his charac-
ter, but by the direct bearing that it
may be made to have on prac-
teal affairs. Never before have the
young men and maidens of our farms
had opportunities for education so
full as now. The schools are given
more of q practical character than in
the past. The young man or woman
ambitious to acquire education may
have unusual aid. Our normal schools
for the training OF teachers, and our
state agricultural colleges, furnish OPP
portunities forlearning far beyond any
offered in former years. From our
! farms, the agricultural class of the
state college should be constantly re-
| cruited to the full limits OF its capaci
ty. We shall then have. from the
graduating classes OF theseinstitutions
OF learning, teachers to extend the
field of knowledge and that useful
blending of science and practice which
shall give our farming distinction, and
that broad intelligence which indicates
special fitness in the citizens.-Prairie
Farmer.

THE RURAL HOME.
The Old Red House

BY Al. Il. j., TIoGA, N. Y.
The oil red house where memory fingers
Where once was heard the sound OF mirth
Full soon old times effaeing fingers
win blot ii from the face OF earth
Where once the feet of children battered
The mole and bat have found dwelling,
And the old threshold, worn and battered,
How many tale / lind 1t telling
OF those who daily passed its portal
And lived and loved as people do;
And some have passed to be immortal,
And some were false and some were true
How often have they gathered round
The old stone hearth, so broad and coy,
And made the walls with mirth resound
While every face with heat was rosy.
They read their fortunes in the names
That danced and glowed In chimney wide,
Or played the most amusing games,
And some would seek and some would hide.
But where was once the fire lights glow,
The chimney swallows whir and chatter,
And when the winds of autumn blow
Tbs rotten clapboards loosely CHATTER.
The ivy DER the gable Chambers,
And covers many crack ana Granny,
And peeps into deserted chambers
Where everything looks so uneanny,
And hangs in festoons from the caves,
And to the time stained ratters cling,
And in and ont il winds and weaves,
And birds among its foliage sing.
Spare the old house where memory fingers,
Where once was heard the sound OF mirth.
Nor let mans sacrilegious fingers
Remove il from the lace OF earth.
But let old Time, so silent creeping,
Take piece by piece OF 1t away,
And in a shroud OF ivy sleeping,
Let the old house with age decay.

Thrashing by Electricity.

From the Liverpool Courier
A novel application OF electric power
has just been made on the estate OF
the Marquis OF Salisbury, at Hatfield.
A gramme machine, driven by water
power half mile distant has been at
tached to thrashing machine, and
the result is stated to be highly sue
cessful, a regular, rapid, and noiseless
power being obtained, together with a
great saving OF the cost. To effect a
temporary stoppage OF the machine,
if necessary, it has been arranged that
the current from the leads can be
turned from the gramme machine into
q cluster of swan lamps, so that q
short break in the operations does not
necessitate any communication with
the source Of power or stoppage OF
regular working, while at the same
time it gives warning to the men when
the current is running.

Care os an appIe Orchard.

The lack of manure and cultivation,
and general lack OF proper care for
orchards are the causes in a great part,
of their sterility. Neglected orchards
produce small quantities OF small,
poorly-havored and poorly-ripened
fruit The orchard should be supplied
with all the manure the trees can APP
propriate, and the trees will then be
vigorous and will show it by good
growth of wood and handsome fruit.
When the trees do not make good
growth of wood it is certain that they
are in i'll condition and need the assist
ance OF fertilizers and cultivation
probably, also, judicious pruning,
cleaning the bark, and the destruction
of worms and insects.-Vick's Maya
zine.

Here was the key of the puzzle which
my brother said l might find BY keeping
sharp lookout Where did Jack get it,
Was "Reddy's Tomb my brothers? Had
he grown a red beard-he didn't have a red
head as boy-and been dubbed "Reddy"
IN the Hills. This was plausible enough,
as men with black heads and red boards are
not as scarce as white blackbirds. Why did
Jack never mention -ReddyH to me? Was
he ever pard of Reddy's?7 If he could
put this writing in my wallet unbeknown to
me, could he not have got hold of the other
and read it? Did he not get hold of it.
and quit me in consequence, for a ride to-
ward the North Pole, the start being from
"Reddy's Tomb, probably? Most likely.
Such were the conUndrums and a swers

those papers | had decided that Jack was
anything but white. Would go and hunt
for ~Reddys Tomb Perhaps later Oh.
Would l go from there, if found. on a
wild goose hunt for gold? Not much In
the end l decided 10 let "Reddy's Tomb
and the color at the end of the blazed
trail rest for all me. If Jack was there,

YESTERDAY.
By NJ. NJ. FoRREsTER-

Yesterday, darling-only yesterday
The heavens were bright, and all the earth
was fair:
Loves golden radiance fell upon our way
Love s dreamy music filled the scented air
A thousand wild flowers trembled round our
feet,
We saw the lilac boughs above us sway;
And heard the woodlark singing high and sweet,
Ye terday, darling-only yesterday.
Yesterday, darling only yesterday,
With lips apart and hair Of russell brown,
You came, dear heart across the tower-decked
way,
Sweeping the grasses with your trailing gown
Upon your cheek there was wild-rose glow,
And in your ewes there a sunset ray
You came with arms Observation-Disclosures loved
me So
Yesterday, darling-only yesterday.
Yesterday, darling-only yesterday,
A DIT breeze stealing from the sunny south
Blew from your brow the tangled fringe away,
And wooed the kisses from your crimson
mouth
The red sun kissed you with its parting ray,
The woodlark praised you i'll his happy song,
Yesterday, darling-only yesterday.
Yesterday, darling-only yesterday;
An me all me! but yesterday is-dead:
The still shines across the fower-decked
way,
And still the woodlark MARBLES overhead
But in the shadows OF a great despair,
weep, dear heart, upon the weary way,
For loves bright dream, that made the earth SO
fair
