WHEN AUTUMN PAssErH BY.

Where purple cldPrberries vie
With sumac's crimson stain,
A flood of mellow minStrelsy
O'erf1ows the winding lane.
A myriad insect voices flute
And rival throats reply,
NO tree, no tuft OF grass Is mute
When autumn pasSeth by.
A perfume rare Of ripening leaves
On zephyr pinjons floats.
And oft the scent of browning sheaves
Blends with the crickets notes;
Each hanging bOugh 4 censor swings
Beneath the dreamful sky,
And at her feet rich fragrance filings
When autumn passeth by.
The spiders third their gossamer
With jewels for her head:
The thlstles strew their down for her,
That softly she may tread;
The brooklet stills its summer glee
Whene'er her feet draw nigh,
And gently drOnes the yellow bee
When autumn passeth by.
Strange sorceries the spirit bind
And work a haunting spell;
Weird voices echo on the wind,
And whisper beauty's knell.
At eventfde a lonely star
Comes forth to mourn on high, =.
When autumn passeth by.
The sweetest song that ever flows
Hath sorrow in its strain:
The keenest JOY that mortal knows
Is always half a pain.
So life and death combine their art
To charm the ear and eye,
And lovely pathos wins the heart
When autumn passeth by.

Raising Cattle on the Farm.

1.-THE feeding of beef cattle upon farms
promises to become as profitable ptr-
suit as it ever was," says the New York
Times, land the relief from the pres
sure that has been forced upon farmers
by the depression Of this special indus
try, due to the excessive stocking of the
Western ranges, is now becoming appur-
ent in the near distance. To take from
under any great industry its most solid
support necessarily causes a disastrous
weakness in the whole structure aud
that the feeding of cattle has been the
most important part of agriculture has
been true since the day that famous re-
mark was uttered over 1000 years ago
The improbable pursuit of cattle reaf-
ing and feeding on farms for some years
past has wholly changed the character
of the farmers industry. 1t has stopped
the culture of feeding crops to a large
extent, and has thus increased the prod
net of dairy farms; has led thousands
into fruit growing, and in every way it
has made the competition for an exist
ence more and more close and intense
among farmers, not only in grain grow
ing, but iii other special pursuits, aid
has thus affected the whole interest all
along the line. The restoration of cat
tles rearing and feeding to it's former
profitable condition will thus afford gem
5eral relief ind by lessening the great
internal pressure upon this industry will
than it has been since the range nlethOu
Of rearing cattle came into vogue, ttHen-
ty years ago. Now those foresighte,l,
patient and persevering farmers who in
NIL these years have held on to their
good stock will feel their first relief aud

Economizing with Hay.

The hay crop in many places is short
this year and farmers will find it good
economy to use it sparingly. This can
better be done because the grain crop Is
large. Both corn and oats are likely to
be cheap, and some of these with cut hay
or straw will make limited amount of
hay go far in feeding. 1t will also pay
if straw is to be used for the cut feed to
purchase some linseed or cottonseed meal
to mix with it. Both of these meals
have a large proportion of heterogeneous
Or fesh-forming elements than has In
dian corn. The straw of grain is largely
carbonaceous and it needs something
that has more albuninoids than corn has
to make a profitable feed. Many New
England farmers buy more or less West
ern corn to feed. and this year. when it
is, SO cheap, they can certainly afford to
do SO. But n partgof the money expend..
ed for feed should go to the purchase OF
wheat bran and linseed or@2cottonseed
meal to be fed with the corn and make
better-balanced ration. er>-,~,-- -

Vitality of Glover Seed.

. A statement is going through agricult-
ural exchanges to the effect that clover
seed can be terminated but once. and if
it does not grow soon after it first swells
with moisture the seed perishes. This is
not in accordance with our experience
and observation. We have sometimes
sown clover seed early in March, and
have warm weather and freezing alter
nate several times before the plant root
ed. We have watched the seeds swell
almost to the point of bursting forth
with leaf, and then shrivel by the eff
feet of cold, and do this repeatedly. Yet
the catch: of clover was good one. 1t
is known that where clover seed has once
been grown, more or less of the seed is
spilled ON the ground and it comes up
for series of years, when new surface
is exposed to light and air. Yet these
seeds in the soil must have frequently
swelled with the water they absorbed
but dried back without destroying their
vitality, because conditions were not ia
vorable for putting forth roots and
leaves. But after the small leaf starts
the clover plant is as tender almost as
tomato. 1t is well-known that the leaf
of large clover is easily blackened, and
just after the seed has terminated the
plant is nearly all leaf. Then a very lit
tie freeze kills it, as was the case on
many farms from the freeze early last
May. But freezing and thawing earlier
than this does not injure the seed

Heroic Youthfulness.

Among the stories which were told by
certain aged physicians, at reunion of
medical men, of the times when surgical
operations were conducted without an

way that it was necessary to amputate
one of her legs. She proved to be of

her. as was customary in such cases. she
was given her most cherished doll to

mitted to the amputation without single

at $2.75 pound. and it is estimated

Keeninr Raets IN Winter,

Beets are very tender and easily in
jured by freezing. They are Therefore
can be watched more closely than pits,
and there is less danger of frost enter-
ing before the owner is aware. Yet as a
matter of fact beets are better kept III
pits than in cellars. If put in the cellar
at all some earth should be thrown over
them to keep them from whiting. Care
should also be taken not to have the eel
and thus injure their quality. Mangel
wurtzels are better keepers than beets.
They ripen later, and will not sprout so
early when put in cellar. In feeding
the beets should be given out first, and
