One Price Store.

There is tale, how once whale
Who lived near Greenland's shore,
Had soaked his fin, to get the tin
To beat the Long Brick Store.
For times were hard and walrus lard,
The trade reviewers said,
Like the Esquimaux was very slow,
And business prospect dead.
The smaller fry will quickly buy
When prices come in reach,
Tho Shoddy frocks from ancient stocks
May strand them on the beach.
'Tis in the books they'll bite my hooks
Soliloquized the whale;
To get more goods he straightway puts
A mortgage on his tale.
And then he'd blow and try to show
How it surely couldn't be,
That we could sell as low and we'll
And better goods than he.
He took his way, by Hudson bay,
A wake of whales aStern,
When swOrdfiSh bold swan out and told
Our famous whale sale yarn.
You'll find it so south you GO
The truthful swordfsh said,
And then the whale began to quail
But still he forged ahead.
Twas off the strand of New Foundland
He heard the news afoat
On every side, by wind and tide,
Here comes Smiths great whale boat. y"
And then that whale turned very pale
And sea green round his gills,
AS if he'd took by great i'll luck,
A box OF Jonah pills.
His paintings short were now the sport
Of nearly every one
And his coatings rank of blubber shrank
Beneath our soft spring sun.
Then all that host gave up the ghost
Their courage all had failed,
And on the beach their old bones bleach,
For they had been outwhaled
Our sales still on, sure as gun,
And if you want the best
Well surely try to suit your eye
In quality and taste,
Our prices low as they can go,
Will satisfy your purse
But if you care to go elsewhere
You'll find it the reverse.
We're in the swim and chances slim
For all the other whales
It's very clear the place to stear

in which it swings on the bolt plenty
large enough and that the bolt is large
rather than small.
The place for the trunk starts at the
greatest beam and runs aft.
Half deck the bow and step the mast
through into a stout foot block on the
keel, usinga bobstay of good stout wire
Run a ten-inch flush deck round the
sides to the stern, which should also be
half-decl1ed, with the rudder post pro-
jecting well through. Directions for
the rudder and the seating of the boat
should be unnecessary to anyone who
can build boat far enough to require
them.
The yard or boom should be of stout
pine, well smoothed and of wcll-sea-
soned wood; the sail should be of light
sailcloth, sewn in eight-inch strips to
the shape desired, the best shape being
as shown in the illustration, this giving
the same or nearly the same speed as
the gaff sail, and is infinitely safer, as
placing the pressure right dowp where
it is most under control.
The ropes should be of the best quail
ity procurable, as they come the cheap
est in the end. Do not be persuaded
to use any lime, or in fact anything to
your sails to keep them white. 1t only
provollcs mildew, and if properly cared
for and cleaned off as they get soiled
with fullcrs clay, they will keep
good color for years.
This type of boat in light to mod,
crate breeze will outsail any other rig
in existence, if well handled. 1t is i'm
possible to give the cost of this boat; it
would vary from thirty dollars up for
actual material.
Speed is not always the one essential
for boys boat, although every boy
desires it. Speed means more or less
increased cranSiness, and safe boat,
if properly handled and well sailed,
will beat nine out of ten of the faster
boats handled by boys who do not
know how to get the most out of
boat.-BoSton Globe.

A simple and inexpensive protection
for the manure, such as is illustrated
herewith, is not out of the reach of
anyone, however, and with its use the
manure can be kept safe from all
teaching. The manure is usually
thrown out in heaps by the side of the
barn. A shed roof can be built over
these at small expense. The cut shows
the method of framing, the dotted
lines showing the boarding of the
ends. The only mistake likely to be
made is in getting the roof too narrow,
VITA the result that rains accompanied
by wind may beat in and wash the
outer part of the piles, which will
spread out upon the ground more or
less, even with careful management.
The outer edge of the roof need be
only high enough that cart can be
backed under it, and being thus low
will aid not a little in keeping out the
rain; but even with low roof should
want a width of at least twelve feet,
and good gutter upon the outer edge.
Let the ground be level under such a
shed roof, or, at most, but slightly
sloping, else the manure will be con-
tinually rolling out from under the
shelter of the roof when thrown out Of
the windows.
Where such an arrangement is used,
care must be taken to have the cattle
stalls well lighted from the ends of the
Darn.-Webb Donnell, in N. Y. Trib-

PROTECTING MANURE.
Webb Donnell, of Maine, Describes a New
England Method.

England Method.
call it a New England method"
Tor, though it may be practiced else
where, have not in other places OBJ
served its use to anything like the ex-
tent that is to be seen in New Eng
land This matters little, however.
The main point is to bring the value OF
the plan to the attention of farmers
that now permit their manure piles to
be leached by every rain and by the
melting SHOWS of winter, such manure
heaps being usually situated alongside
the barn and directly under the caves
which may or may not have cutters to
carry off the rain that falls upon the
roofs. OF course, those who leave
their stable dressing exposed to such
conditions do not fully realize the loss
they are suffering, for it seems hardly
credible that anyone would be so ex-
travagantly wasteful if he realized
the truth about the matter. have in
mind now one farm where for sixty
years or more the dressing of from ten
to twenty head of stock has been thus
thrown out under the gutterless caves,
and after every heavy rain during all
that time a thick brown stream has
run down from the barnyard and
coursed along through a ravine till it
emptied into a river. Fully one-half
of the value of all the dressing made
on that farm for sixty years has thus
run down into the ocean. AS a matter
of fact, l presume that much more
hat lnlf Nf 1,o,- l..
for on this same farm the liquid por-
tion of the manure go per cent. at
least in value of the whole has been
allowed to run down through the
''tie-up' floor, instead of being saved
by tight manure gutter and the use
of absorbents. 1t is just such wretched
management as this which keeps so
many of our farms run OUT and so
many of our farmers discouraged.
There is little enough stable dressing
made on any place, and wheE this is
leached of from SO to rs per cent of it's
fertilizing qualities, it is small wonder
that the crops are meager and that
one crop seems to use up nearly all the
dressing put upon the land, leaving
little for subsequent crops of grain or
grass.
Some barns have manure cells where
all the dressing made, including the
liquid portion, can be saved; but such
barns are the exception and not the
rule. Barnyards entirely covered by
one or more'roofs are excellent where
they can be afforded, but it is useless
TO urge the great body of farmers to
roof over their entire yards for the
protection of both stock and manure.

lake, at GA degrees north latitude, the
musk-ox draws the line marking his
farthest south.
"A man who can endure cold like an
Eskimo, travel like a caribou live for
weeks on frozen caribou meat, Starve
as cheerfully as Yellow Knife Indian,
and endure the companionship of YER
min-covered natives, can reach the
southern borderland of the musk-oX,
and possibly get back alive with two or
three skins Mr. Warburton Pike, Eng
lishman, can do and did do all those
things no longer ago than 1890; and his
book on The Barren Grounds of North
ern Canada is a most interesting and
valuable contribution to our knowledge
of that very desolate country.
The musk-ox is perhaps the rarest,
and to white men the most difficult to
secure, of all our land quadrupeds.
Robes are by no means uncommon, and
often sell for as little as fifteen dollars
each; but of mounted skins there are in
our countryeXactly seven. Three of these
constitute group in the National mu-
scum; two are at the American Museum
of Natural History in New York; and
the museums of Philadelphia and Cam
bridge have one each. Although dur
ing their long sojourns in high lati-
tudes Gen. Greedy and the members of
his expedition party killed many musk
oxen. you will notice that they were
unable to bring back even so much as a
single horn.
The appearance of the musk-oX is so
odd and striking that when once seen
1t is seldom forgotten. You see an OBJ
long mass of tremendously long brown
hair, four and half feet high by six
and half long, supported upon wide
hoofs and very short, thick legs, almost
hidden by the body hair. There is also.
a blunt and hairy muzzle, pair of
eyes, pair of broad, flattened horns
that part like woman's hair and drop
far downward before they curve up
ward-and that is all. The mass of
halr is so thick that as the robe lies on
the floor it is about as easy to walk over
as feather bed. Over the loins you
will find, if you look closely, a broad
'saddle-mark' of dirty-white hair,
shorter than the rest of the coat.
Next to the body is matted mass Of
very fine and soft hair, like clean. wool
SO dense that to snow and fog it is
qnite impenetrable. Over this lies
thick coat of very long, straight hair,
often twelve inches in length and some
times twenty, like the grass raincoat of
a Japanese soldier. Sometimes it
actually touches the snow as the ami
NAL walls.-W. T. Hornaday, in St
Nicholas.
