Tho Eiraman,s Muster.

Long before / o'clock, the appointed hour
for the fremen's muster and trial Of engines,
crowds had assembled at the appointed spot,
the foot of Mellen street, and were padding
about in the mud and rain, which just then
began to fall again after a hold up Of few
hours. The crowd was perfectly good
natured, but very curious and anxious that
nothing should escape them, of the prepara-
tions. They crowded around the platform
and tank on which the engines were to stand
interfering not little with the preparations,
but yielding readily enough to the persua-
sions of the policemen. After good deal Of
delay the trial Of steamers was called, and
the active operations commenced. This is
the result:

A Railroad on Troe.TOpe.

It may not be known outside Of the
neighborhood in which it is situated,
but it is nevertheless a fact, that in
Sonoma County, CAL, there exists an
original and successful piece of railroad
engineering and building that is not to
be found in the books. In the upper
part of the county named, near the coast,
may be seen an actual road-bed in the
tree-tops, between the Clipper mills
and Stuart Point, where the road crosses
a deep ravine. The trees are sawed of
on level with the surrounding hills,
and the timbers and ties laid on the
stumps. In the center of the ravine
mentioned two huge redwood trees,
standing side by side, form a substantial
support. These giants have been Topped
off seventy-dve feet above the bed of the
creek. This natural-tree bridge is con-
sidered one of the wonders of the Golden
State, and for safety and security far
exceeds bridge framed in the most
scientific manner.-St. Louis Republic.

. no plan Of feeding can be considered
best under all conditions or be the most
profitable ct all seasons, saws the st.
!! Louis q " Republic. What will be the best
in one locality will not always be the
best IN another. The purpose for which
the animals are fed will make differ
ence IN tie rations that should be given
It the desired results are to bo secured
economically. , ..
When a rotation of crops is carried
out and different kinds Of stock are kept
with . view of using all the various
products to the best advantage, combina-
tions can be made that will lessen the
cost OF feeding the stock kept on the
farm or fattened for market. All things
considered, the best plan of general
farming is to carry out regular system
OF rotation, growing variety Of crops
and keeping sufficient number of the
different kinds of stock to consume them
to the best advantage.
During growth it will be found quite
an item to use such materials as will
develop bone and muscle. After the
animals are matured and are being fin
ished for the market, materials best CAL
culated to secure the laying on of fat
should be used. Stock that is being
wintered over will require more or less
food that will aid to maintain animal
heat. This is unnecessary during tho
summer, and in this latter season rather
a cooling diet will be preferred. With
COWS kept for milk different ration
should be provided from that used when
fattening cattle for market. Brood sows
or growing pigs need different ration
from hogs being fattened for market.
Science in feeding implies the selection
and combining of such materials as are
best adapted for and will secure the de-
sired results at the lowest cost.
The advantage in cutting and grind
ing all the feed is that better oppor-
tunity is afforded Of making what may
be termed complete rations, and lessen
ing the waste.
During the winter, with all classes of
stock, more corn should be given in the
ration on account of its value in Great
Ing and maintaining animal heat, and
with fattening stock because it pro-
notes the laying of fat.
Bran and oil meal make good feed
for cows and all kinds of breeding stock
because they increase the flow of milk.
Oats and barley are valuable to feed
to all kinds of growing stock because
they contain the elements needed for
the development of bone and muscle.
They are also good feeds for summer be-
cause they are cooling.
Timothy and red-top hay are best for
horses, while clover and millet are best
for milch COWS and sheep. Glover is
best for hogs, while blue grass and
pasture grasses are best for horses and
sheep. In this way all the farm products
may be used to the best advantage by
feeding out to stock, and there will be
less waste than when specially is
made of one or two kinds of products,
or one or two classes of stock.

In meadows sweet where my baro feet
! Once twinkled in the clover, .
And bloom and bee delighted me :,
Ere became rover,
Bearded and gray stray day,
2And from them to the wildwood.
Again to seek-again to speak
The happiness Of childhood.
Cooled by the breeze near whispering trees.
I lie and look and listen,
Till natures truth and dreams OF youth
In all their glory glisten.
In changing skies my happy eyes
Find castles great and steepled,
That years ago, full we'll know,
1built and owned and peopled.
Il-fortune, tears, mistakes that years
Have added to lifes sorrow
Thrust tbehind-keep out of mind
Forget until to- morrow:

This vision of my pleasure,
Fen after rain I'd try again
To find the rainbow's treasure.
