In the spring when the green gifts back in the

And the sun comes out and stays.
And yer boots pulls on with a good, tight

And you think of yer barefooted days:
When you ort to work aud you want to not,
And you and yer wife agrees
It's time to SPADE up the garden lot
When the green gifts ba, k in the trt es-
Well, work is the least of my idees
When the green, you know, gifts buck in the

When the green gifts back in the trees, and

In that kind of lazy ''go-as-you-please"
Old gait they hum rOun in:
When the grounds all bald where the hay
rick stood,
And the crick's riz, and the breeze
Coaxes the bloom in the old dugwood.
And the green gifts back in the trees
like, as say, in rich scenes as these,
The time when the green gifts back in tt j
trees.
When the whole tail-feathers O winter-time
Is all pulled and gone.
And the sap il thaws and begins to climb,
And the sweet ii starts out on

About Dancing

Young church people with latent
doubts concerning the sinfulness of
dancing may find help IN their Yacil-
lahon by considering the subject from
the standpoint of Rev. John L. Scud-
der, pastor of the Jersey City First
Congregational Church. In a recent
Sunday evening lecture he said:
Dancing is the external manifesto
ton of internal ezuberance The
happy girl skips to school That
skip indicates vivacity. 1t is a step
we all learned from nature, our first
dancing master. Every organ grind
er is surrounded by pirouetting chill
dren. In Hebrew to dance means to
'Ieap for joy" When the prodigal
returned, the family took naturally to
dancing. Dr. Lyman Beecher, after
a good revival meeting, would go
home and caper about his room to the
music of his own violin. Dancing,
whether natural or artificial, is not a
sin if kept within proper bounds.
Nowadays deacons' daughters dance,
Iand a church picnic is considered
tame without this universal form of
amusement. If we should ex-com-
municate those in the church who APP
prove or participate in dancing, the
'outs" would often out-number the
ms" There are certain restrictions,
however, which should be placed up
on this popular amusement for the
/ physical and moral well being of our
young people. We should look well
after the show" the ''when," and the
with whOm.''

German Singing Birds.

In Germany and other countries
of Europe there are many singing
birds, beautiful in plumage and mu-
steal in song, that are not native to
America. Among these are the night
ingale, song thrush, bullfnch, sky
lark and others. A year ago a move
ment was made to import thousand
Of these birds into Oregon, with the
expectation that they would rapidly
increase in numbers and soon become
as plentiful as the native birds They
viii arrive in May, and will be turned
loose in and near the city The mock
ing bird, bob-o-link and red bird are
also to be taken to Oregon from the
southern states. The mild climate of
Oregon will no doubt be appreciated
by what The W88t Shore Magazine
calls 'Our Feathered Immigrants, -
which is the title of a large art sup
plement accompanying the magazine
for March. This is an elegant piece
of artistic printing in colors, and
shows these birds, sixteen distinct
kinds, in their natural colors. Every
lover of birds will be charmed with
this beautiful engraving. The num-
Der also contains a description OF
them, as well as engravings and des-
criptlons of North Yakima, Wash.
and Rainier and st. Helens, Oregon
and much other interesting and val
liable information about the Pacific
northwest. Price, $3.50 per year, q
cents a copy. Address L. Samuel

SORGHUM or Wheat.

Probably the grasses, in the botanic
use Of this term, furnish more of food
to the human family than all other
members of the vegetable world com
bined Of these, the sorghum, IN
some of its many varieties, is said to
furnish more food to humanity than
any other plant, while the wheat
plant furnishes the best quality.
The sorghum, because Of the many
and widely varied uses to which it
can be put, has proved itself most val
liable in the agriculture of all coun-
tries where it is known. The wheat
plant practically has but one use
that of furnishing food for mankind
and it is always noticeable that a
good crop of this cereal in any wheat
growing country is valuable or other
wise in the markets of the world in pro-
portion to the bad or good condition
of the crop in other wheat producing
countries. If too much wheat is pro-
duced in the world for mans con
sumption as food, it gluts the market.
He has little other use for it than this.
This is not yet true Of the sorghum
The many other uses which have been
found for it make it a valuable crop
even when the question Of the use of
human food is not considered, while
its drouth and chinch-bug resisting
qualities, together with the abund-
ance of It's yield, certainly seem to
promise for it no mean place IN the
agriculture Of the great central plains
of the United States. Besides this,
it has the present merit of requiring
no expensive machinery or unlearned
methods of cultivation for its success
full production, and so oommends
itself to the western farmer as g crop
at once prolific and Inexpensive
upon which he can depend with much
of certainty as to returns. When
compared with wheat as a crop foI
the western farmer, it has many
points of value, which IS not true Of
wheat. -jSec'y Graham.

The GOodland Nelcs IN speaking Of
the county printing has the follow
ing sensible words to say: ssDid it
ever occur to you, reader, that the
salaries of the county officers are reg
ulated by law; that the county print
ing was an appointive Office and that
the legislature has made laws as to
what the printer should charge and
that there is no law to have the print
ing done by the lowest bidder. Did
you ever see the men who are caRdi-
dates for the Offices of a county or
state go around undertaking each
other as to what they would charge
if they got the Office? No, you elect
them and expect them to take as their
salary what is allowed by law; then
why not the printer to set the type
and print the paper as it is for the
clerk or register to write in their
books. There is a responsibility at
tached to printing legal notices, and
all bills have to be sworn to, and
should not the printer have some
thing for assuming this responsible
ity? All positions where resDonsi
bility is attached command a higher
salary no matter what the business is. .

Drinking a Farm.

s My homeless friend with a chro-
matte nose while you are stirring up
the sugar in a ten cent glass of gin,
let me give you a fact to wash down
with it. You say you have longed
for the free, Independent life of the
farmer. but have never been able to
get money enough together to buy a
farm But this is just where you are
mistaken. For several years you
have been drinking a good improved
farm at the rate of 100 square feet at
a guIp. If you doubt this statement,
figure it out for yourself. An acre OF
land contains 1850 feet, estimated
for convenience, the land to be worth
$43.56 an acre, you will see that it
brings the land at just one mill per
square foot, one cent for ten square
feet. Now pour down the frey dose
and imagine you are swallowing {
strawberry patch. Call in five Of
your friends and have them gulE
down that 500 foot garden. Get on {
prolonged spree some day and SET
how long it takes to swallow a pas
ture large enough to feed a COW
put down that glass of gin, there's
DIRT in it-1OO feet of good rich dir
worth $43.56 per -BUrdette.

The New Public Land Bill
Hoxie Sentinel


WASHINGTON, Mar. 18th, 1889.
DEAR HUMEs: II enclose a copy of
the Public Land bill by which you
will see that the pre-emption, TIMBER
culture and Communication sections of
the homestead law were not repealed.
Section one Of this bill was passed
by the senate, and in the House we
attached the other sections and re-
pealing the laws referred to, expect
ing to cut this repeating clause out
in conference committee, which we
did. I presented a section to this
committee reducing all double mini
mum lands to a dollar and a quarter
per acre, but failed in securing its
adoption but secured a compromise in
the proviso of section two. This al
lows all pre-emPtors to change their
entries into homestead, even though
they have used their homestead rights
before. This will allow them to avoid
the raising of the money necessary to
pay out under their pre-emption.
Yours truly,
u r TrrBD-rr

down in their own hearts regret to

signs are favorable for good yield
of corn this year. Oh thou of little
faith! Go to the Pacific coast 1t
will be a costly lesson for you. But
experience we must have, no matter

here this year; what do you know
