the leader of the hardy little bend
OF Norwegian explorers that crossed
the continent of Greenland, is still
quite young man, being only twenty
eight years old, and occupies at the
present time the position of keeper .of
the natural-his ORIG museum Of Bergen
in Norway. The interior of Green
land had never yet been seen, and
Baron Nordenskjold, the celebrated
scientist and explorer, had started the
theory that this interior had a much
milder climate than tho coast, and
that the descendants of some of
the Icelanders, who settled there
nearly thousand years ago, might
still be found. In order TO set this
theory at rest DR.. Manson resolved 10
attempt to cross Greenland from east
TO west, most perilous undertaking,
as the whole country was afterwards
found to be covered with snow and ice.
He started, accompanied by three
Norwegians and two Laplanders, from
Iceland in June, 1888, had to abandon
the vessel and 10 effect landing in
row boats, battling with drift ice for
more than fortnight, although the
coast was only few miles of. In the
middle OF August the inland journey
commenced in FIVE sledges drawn by
dogs. An altitude of 1000 feet was
reached, where the temperature fell
to 80 and 80 degrees below freezing
point. They had no huts or tents nor
any shelter for forty days, but slept
in bags made of deerskins, fastened
tightly round the neck. the head being
protected by fires. 1t was perhaps the
most dangerous voyage ever under
taken. In the latter part OF Septem
Der DR.. Manson and his fellow travel
ers reached the western coast, the sole
being snow sparrow. The scientific
result of the exploration consists in
the fixing of several debatable points
regarding the early glacial period.
The expenses OF the expedition were
born by a muni6cent Danish merchant,
Mr.. Augustus Cornell Of Copenhagen,
who also dispatched the Hoveiaard
Arctic expedition in 1880. DR.. Nan
sen and party had to remain in Green
land all winter, but have now arrived
in Europe, where the young explorer
has been received with high honors,
royal orders and distinctions being
showered upon him.

Judge Cooley OF the interstate COM
merce comm ssion, in addressing the
constitutional convention at Bismarck,
North Dakota, told the delegates some
homely truths concerning the work OF
constitution building. He gave them
the advice not to legislate TOO much in
the constitution so as to prevent leg
islatures in the future from meeting
the evils that they may be called up
on TO correct. In the very nature OF
things something must be left for them
to take care of and to put proper re-
strainls upon. Somebody has got to
be trusted in the future. and the at
tempt 10 cover every exigency that
may possibly arise is simply impossi-
bic and impracticable. Judge Cooley
does not believe In tying the hands OF
the people by iron clad laws, but feels
assured that the generations OF the
future will be able 10 meet the diff
culties of legislation fully as well II

II is enough to say that careful at
tention to the proportions of yeast,
wetting and flour used, together with
watchfulness in regard to temperature
at which they are mixed and raised,
will. when the proper time for raising
is allowed, give the best results. The
ordinary half-ounce C Ike of compressed
yeast should be used with n pint OF
wetting, half milk and half water; -four
enough should be used to make u
dough as soft as can be handled. When
this is mixed with the wetting at II

raised three hours in n room OF the

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
The Products Retained on tho Farm,

The Products Retained on tho Farm.
The value OF a crop does not depend
entirely on the market price, but
partly upon the uses to which the crep
is applied. A corn crop, If sent TO ma--
ket, may bring but little more than the
cost OF its production; but it is equiva-
lent to a certain amount of raw mater
ial, which can be converted into some
other product more in demand, such Is
beef, mutton, milk, pork or poultry.
Nor can the real value OF the crop be
estimated by the amount received for
the meats sold. as a large portion is
left over in the shape of manure.
Careful experiments have been made
In order to determine the amount OF
potash, nitrogen and phosphoric acid
left in the manure after the food haas
passed through the bodies of animals,
but no certain results can be obtained
owing to the differences in the digeS
tive capacity Of animals, though in
trials of two weeks dur ton, where
both green fodder and grain have been
fed, it was found that 81 per cent. OF
all the nitrogen, 80 per cent. OF all the
phosphoric acid and 63 per cent OF all
the potash remained in the manure.
This shows that the food is only par
italy digested and assimilated, and
that the value of the crop must be con-
sidered not only in regard TO its mar
ket price and its product but also to
its future use in providing second
crop. Where concentrated foods, such
as linseed and cOttOnsced meals, are
used the value of the manure is still
greater. and if the prices obtained for
meat and milk be HG greater than the
cost of food and labor the manure
alone will give a large profit, as from
% TO 40 per cent OF the food used is
retained on the farm in the manure,
and the larger the proportion OF nitro
gen in the food las with linsecd mca)
the greater the value ~. the manure
in proportion to its weight. II the
total value of n ton Of linSced meal be
estimated at 500, the feeding value
may be stated at $50, and the manu-
rial value $2S, but corn-mcal gives n
feeding value of $23 out Of total of
$50, leaving 81 to be returned in tho
manure. If the manure be not re-
tanned on the farm. but sold at its real
value, it would, therefore. be aS much
a product of food as meat or milk, but
il is more economical TO retain it, for
the reason that it's removal adds to its
cost. Many cattle foods are really
cheaper than their manUriG value,
and may be applied directly to the
land. but this depends upon the quail
ity OF the soil and its deficiency IN any
particular element The value of the
manure to the land depends upon its
preponderance OF some special ele-
ment. Potash mnnures are valuable
on heterogeneous soils. but possess little
value on soils Astounding in potash,
and all these matters are to be consid-
cred in the final estimates.

Eavly Cut Glover.

Clover will soon be ready TO cut.
The proper time for cutting is now
live question. Some say cut it when
it first comes into BOOM and prac-
tice lets one half OF the heads get dead
ripe. All aim to get it at the right
time, and in the best conditions; but
few begin cutting it early enough to
avoid putting in lot OF dead ripe
clover at the last end. Especially if it
comes on wet, the clover must stand
until fair weather, and often by this
time it is we'll seeded.
What says chemistry about tho
proper time TO cut cloverp The re-
suits of analysis do not seem TO favor
any of the periods when clover is
usually cut. The tables give the nu-
tritive ratio of clover in full bloom -
the time perhaps most generally
agreed upon-as one part OF nitrOge-
nous material to 81 OF carbonaceous.
This is very good ratio for ordin-
airy feeding purposes, but clover cut
at this time does not appear to be at
its best When cut before blossoming
the feeding ratio is given as one of
heterogeneous TO 3.S Of carbonaceous ma
terial. This is pretty strong meat,
and will admit OF corn meal, corn
stalks, or straw, as part OF a ration
and still be up TO the standard. Clo-
yer cut before blossom has about onc-
third larger proportion OF muscle and
cheese making mate rial than that cut
in full blossom; and usually the more
heterogeneous foods are counted the
more valuable. There is no trouble in
getting the carbOnaccous, but care
must be taken that they are in di-
gestible form. Coarse fibre is not;
yet this is what we get In overripe
fodder
Another point in favor OF the Glove r
cut before blossom, and just about tn o
time it is ready TO begin to open, is
that it is more easily digested. There
is not so much bulk, but larger pro-
portion OF the whole is digested. This,
of course, makes it more nutritious,
and better for producing milk or beef.
Letting clover stand until it is more
mature, simply increases the amount OF
carbonaceous fibre, but the increase is
offset by loss OF digestibility. We sus-
pect that very few OF the fodder plants
and grasses, except corn, are cut ana
cured at as early period OF their de-
vclopmcnt rs they should be.-Practi-
cal Farmer.

Too Much Marrying,

The truth is-and it is the truth that
many are beginning to realize, nor will it
be conjured away until all right-minded
men and women give it some serious
thought-there is too much marrying and
giving in marriage in the world. By far
the greater number of young girls of the
present day are raised with the sole ambi.
ton Of making good match" as if the
quintessence of happiness in life was to be
found in matrimony. The author is not
an "old maid to use the current express
sion, and she has no intention of boasting
when she says she might try her own ex-
perience in married life did she wish to do
so, but she can assure her readers that no
feeling of sour grapes" influenced her
opinion that more unhappiness results
from unsuitable marriages than from any
other one evil in existence; that men and
women marrying from the wrong motives
invariably bring affection upon themselves
and their children, and that therefore the
hymeneal flame should not be lighted ex-
cept under circumstances of peculiar prom
Use. Men and women should both remain
unmarried until they have reached an age
when intelligence and common sense pre-
vail over impulse; but even then let them
look carefully into their own reasons for
taking so important step. Let them lay
their day dreams aside and face cold and
conventional reality, and thus, with a
heart prepared for the bitter or the sweet
with mind resolved to make many sacri-
tlees and temper inclined to look ON the
brighter side of life, they may prove to be
the exceptional couple, and, like the bliss
ful lovers in cur old fairy tales, dive long

But you, gentlemen, have safer and

1t under auspices the most favorable.
THE LAND OF FREEDOM.
This land you live in is quick to recog-
nize merit and to reward it. No impedi-
ments or hereditary rank or station block
your way. Here these solemn plausibili-
ties of the old times have lost their rever-
ence and effect. You may rely on fair
play. You will succeed, if you deserve to
succeed.
The present condition, the probable flu
ture of the world are, in many respects,
full of hope. The benefcent career of
science has but begun. Year by year, day
by day, new triumphs will be won, the
comforts, luxuries and happiness of life
will be greatly increased.
The world will be beautifed exceed
ingly, and your eyes will look upon its
splendor Nowhere will this improve
ment be more remarkable than here. The
morals of the world, too, show signs of
improvements.
The unreasonable animosities that have
kept races of men apart and hostile are by
degrees melting away. In that happy re-
suit the "United States" has played the most
effective rart. The nation has, with
splendid hospitality, invited all men, of all
nations and Of all races and religions, to
share its prosperity, and in the light of
its freedom they are fast assimilating and
