And the grass from the meadows green,

Then the lib1rers cried. 500 master,
We will bring thee yellow grain

And the tender grass from the plain
But that which springs from the marshes
Is dry and harsh, and thin,
Unlike the sweet field grasses,
So we will not gather it in"
But the master said, "Oh, foolish.
For many a weary day.
Through storm and drought yc have labured
For the grain and the fragrant hay;

Where these, in the sun aud the deWs of heaven

ON scientific principles President Webb
maintains it for the pleasure he has in his

fact that the surplus butter product of the
Webb dairy, To which none but Jersey cows
contribute, is disposed of to the Nanderhilts
for use on their dining cars, and it is sold
to them for precisely the price that is paid
for iirkin butter, though prominent caterers

and Of the agricultural country depending

necessary, in order TO show what forests
must be retained, and what tracts Of tim
Der can be put upon the market without in
| jury to the important interests involved.
Until such an examination has been made,
none Of the forest lands now belonging 10
the United States should be sold
The second step should be 10 commit to
the United States army the care and guar
dauship Of the forest, belonging 10 the ma.
