YOSEMITE TREASURES.
A Landscape Most Divinely Beautiful an
Sublime,

A Landscape Most DivineIy Beautiful and
| Sublime.
The Yosemite Valley, in the heart OF
| the Sierra Nevada, is noble mark for
the traveller, whether tourist, botanist,
geologist or lover OF wilderness pure
and simple. But those who are free
may find the journey a long one; not
because of the miles, for they are not 50
many--onlv about two hundred and
fifty from San Francisco, and passed
over by rail and carriage roads in day
or two-but the way Is so beautiful that
one is beguiled at every STEP and the
great golden days and weeks and months
go by uncounted. How wildly my own
first journey to Yosemite comes to
mind, though made more than score of
years ago. / set out afoot from Oak
land, on the bay of San Francisco, in
April. 1t was the bloom-time of the year
over all the lowlands and ranges of the
coast; the landscape was fairly drenched
with sunshine, the larlSs were singing,
and the hills were so covered with flow
ers that they seemed to be painted.
Slow indeed was my progress through
California flora | had seen. Cattle and
cultivation were making few scars as
yet, and l wandered enchanted in long,
wavering curves, aware now and then
that Yosemite lay to tho eastward, and
that, sometime, should find it.
One shining morning, at tho head of
the Pacheco Pass, a landscape was dis
played that after all my wanderings
still appears as the most divinely beau.
tiful and sublime l have ever beheld.
There at my feet lay the great central
plain of California, level as lake,
thirty or forty miles wide, four hun
dred long. one rich furred bed of golden
Composite. And along the eastern shore
of this lake of gold rose the mighty
Sierra, miles in height, in massive,
tranquil grandeur, so gloriously colored
and so radiant that it seemed not clothed
with light, but wholly composed of it,
like the wall of some celestial city.
Along the top, and extending n good
way down, was rich pearl-gray belt of
snow; then a belt of blue and dark
purple, marking the extension of tho
forests; and stretching along the base
of the range broad belt of rose-purple.
whore lay the miners gold and the
open foothill gardens-all the colors
smoothly blending, making wall of
light clear as crystal and ineffably fine,
yet firm as adamant Then it seemed
to me the Sierra should be called, not
the Nevada or Snowy Range, but the
Range Of Light. And after ten years in
the midst of it, rejoicing and wondering,
seeing the glorious floods of light that
fill 1.-THE sunbursts of morning among
the mountain-peaks, the broad, MONDAY
radiance on the crystal rocks, the flush
of the alpenglow, and the thousand
dashing waterfalls with their marvellous
abundance of irised spray-it still seems
to me a range of light. But no terres-
trial beauty may endure forever. The
glory of wildness has already departed
from the great central plain. Its bloom
is she'd and so in part is the bloom of
the mountains. In Yosemite, even un-
der the protection of the Government,
all that is perishable is vanishing apace.

STERlLlTY IN MARES.
Conditions That Tend to Produce ]
Treatment For.

Conditions That Tend to Produce It
Treatment For.
One OF the very hard questions that
are often asked us is what causes and
what will cure sterility in mares. We
can not answer such questions except
in general way. A writer has recently
gone into the subject very fully, and we
compile the chief points that he makes
for the benefit of our readers. All
practical horse-breeders are impressed
with the fact that a proper management
of brood mares undoubtedly influences
their regularity of breeding. High
feeding and the use of stimulating food
will quickly induce sterility. Fat and
plethora of system lead to fatty depos-
its about the ovaries degenerative pro-
cesses or clogging up the fallopian tubes
with fatty PARTICLES. Likewise the OPP
posite condition Of reduced vitality from
old age, poverty, over-work or bad feed
ing is equally as conducive to sterility.
The lesson to be drawn from these
facts is to avoid both the obese and the
impoverished state; keep your brood
mares thin in flesh yet in good heart
and spirits to ensure regular pregnancy
and the production of healthy progeny.
Many animals, from peculiar idiosyn-
cracy of constitution, will accumulate
fat under system of starvation; such
require to be carefully watched. De-
bilitated mares require good feeding
and careful treatment to regain tonicity
of the generative apparatus. Exercise
is an absolute necessity to pro-creation.
The idle mare, with no range of pasture,
or one that is housed, is apt soon to be-
come sterile. Many animals will only
breed when regularly worked or placed
under such condition as ensures strong
exercise. Inferior foods are apt to ar
rest the breeding function; if not ac-
tually preventing conception, by their
influence on the generative organs,
they intend to abortion at an early
period of CESSATION. Moldy hay, smut
ty corn fodder, musty grain or corn, or
ergotized grasses, must be carefully
avoided. Making brood mares in win
ter the scavengers of all the rough food
of the farm. considered unsuitable for
other stock. is a system that can not be
too highly deprecated.

Clean Ground.

AS the crops in the garden mature
and there is no more use for the land, IL
is often the case that the weeds are
permitted to take possession and ripen
their seeds for the coming year. There
is no sort OF condition under which it is
justifiable to permit this. All the time
that is necessary to prevent seeds from
ripening on the weeds in the garden or
anywhere else, should be given. We
saw a friend not long since, says the
Western Rural, working hard digging
up the weeds that had grown in the
garden where peas had been. We
admired his energy and Judgment
though 1t would have been easier to
have mown them just as they were
ripening their seed. When we all con
clude that growing weeds is a bad bust
ness and decidedly an Improbable one
we shall act the part Of wisdom.

Grapes After a Wet Spring.

The year 1887 was quite similar in
some localities to the present season,
in the abundant rains through the first
half. In the Report of the University
of Illinois for that year, Prof. j. j.
Burrill states that the results were the
most marked on grapes. They ceased
to grow early, during the dry midsum-
mer, and then started again after the
September rains, this month continuing
warm with not enough frost to kill the
leaves and stop the growth. But the
latter half OF October had some quite
cold weather, in one instant as low as
10 degrees, and all the young wood of
unprotected vines was killed. doing
more damage than is usually done in
winter. Before this time the grapes
had ripened well. Should the vines in
future be threatened under similar con-
ditioTs, especially those which are part
ly tender, it might be we'll on the APP
proach of such cold snap to lay down
the vines.-Country Gentleman.

the Victoria Government has offered a

The Life of Young Man Preserved

In an old number of Blackwood's Mag
azine is dream story which is vouched
for as true. 1t was told by Lady Clerk,
long well-known in Edinburg. 1t rep
resented her father as attending classes
in that city about 1884, and living under
the care of an uncle, Major Griffiths
The young man, who was accustomed to
take rambles with companions, told his
uncle and aunt one night that he was
going fishing from Leith early the next
morning. No objection being made they
separated for the night. During her
sleep Mrs. Grifii this screamed: 1.-The boat
is sinking; save, oh save themw The
Major awakened her and asked: "Were
you uneasy about the fishing party?"
80, no." she said, 81 had not once
thought about them" She soon fell
asleep again, but in about an hour she
cried out in great fright: 81 see the
boat is going down" Her husband again
awoke her, and she said: 'It has been
owing to the other dream / had, for /
feel no uneasiness about it," After some
conversation they both fell asleep, but
no rest could be obtained for her. In
the greatest apparent agony she again
exclaimed: "They are gone-the boat is
gone!" When the Major awakened her
she declared that Mr.. Dacre Gather of
of Lady Clerk must not go on the fish
ing trip, or he would surely be lost. He
was accordingly induced tostay at home,
but his companions who went out on.
countered a souall and were drowned.
Whether or not the dream was true, it
is certain that on August Z, 1884, four
men of station in life corresponding
TO that of Dacre were drowned in the
