NINE CENTS A BUsHEL.
How a Farmer ReaIized That on
Oats.

SPECIAL to the Globe.
LANGDON, N. D. Aug ia farmer
living near the boundary line had a
load of oats to sell a few days ago,
and he took them to Crystal City, in
stead of hauling them, as usual to
Langdon. Crystal City is in Manitoba,
and after he had sold them the reve-
nue. officer told him he must pay a
duty ON the oats. The farmer was as
tcnished, and declared that he under
stood that since Laurier was elected
premier of Canada there was free trade
between Canada and the United States
The fellow was evidently honest in his
belief The duty was 10 cents per
bushel, and the price he received for
his oats was but nineScents, so he will
await official tidings of free trade be-
fore he crosses the Boundary on the
same errand again.

HOW STRANGE

Ran Dry.
1t would form huge valley, with the
mountain masses of the eastern and
western continents rising on eithcrsid
Itself 1900 miles in width, it would be
divided by two ridges, parallel to each
other and to the marginal rims, into
three minor valleys, each from 500 to
GOO miles in breadth. The dividing
ridges would reach about half the eleva.
ton of the continental margins, and
would form broad, undulating plateaus.
Here and there they would rise into
lofty submits, mostly volcanic, which
now are known as islands, such as Ice
land and the Azores. These mountain
platforms would be covered by fine
gray mud, like chalk, while the three
valleys would be occupied by rcd clay.
The physical features of the new coun-
try would present striking contrast
to the scenery of our existing cont,
nents. The outlines would be soft
and flowing. Precipices, gorg, S and
sharp ridges would be almost unk nown.
The broad troughs would rise gradual.
ly and smoothly into the elevated plat
forms. This difference is due TO the
absence of atmospheric action The
bed of the Atlantic has not been en-
posed for countless ages, If ever, to
the wear and tear of frost, rain and rYn-
ming water, and, consequently, the
physical features of the new land would
be such as would be mainly determined
by the gradual upheaval of parts of the
great Atlantic trough, or by the plan
ing action of the waves during sub
mergence. In course of time river sys-
TENS would be formed and the sculptur-
ing of the new surface would bee )me

by his shiftlessness. Is not this seri-
Gus leak? One might just as well throw
so much money in the fire. Attention
is called to this matter row because
it is the most suitable time to get few
logs out of the woods and have them
manufactured into suitable lumber for
a shed. In such case all the cash shed
would cost would be the price of few
nails and the saving bill. Ordinary
dairymen have dread of contracting
any unnecessary expense. A shed is
looked upon as involving more expendi-
ture to construct than is necessary. A
man having "a cows and no shed re-

cause he ''could not afford it," 1t is

MASTERS to thinking.
Persons who have rot been on tours
of observation through dairy sections
can have but a faint idea of how eX-
iensve the waste is in this respect.
It amounts to many millions of dol
lars annually in the state of New York
alone. Probably one-half of the dairy
men would plead guilty to this indict-
ment. But there are many honorable
exceptions. Some keep their manure
under a shed cover, and the more able
have their COW barns so constructed
that they can drive a team through
behind two rows of cows. A vehicle
is kept standing in the stable, and

EFFECT OF AN ERUPTION.
People and Cattle Buried Under shower

People and Cattle hurled Under shower
OF Stones In the West Ilidlcs.
The -bombardment in some placeH
must have been terrible. | have seer
tracts of land, once smooth and fertile
plantations, now covered with the
great rugged stones so that you have
to pick your way among them as you
pass. Many CT them are four or five
feet broad. Of course, these are only
The larger stones; the little ones were
buried under the soil long ago.
Stones seem to have fallen all
through the eruption, sometimes in
one place, sometimes in another. Not
long after the first expulsion of smoke,
negro boy was tending goats on a
hillside; | have seen the place often.
Suddenly small stone fell near him,
and then another. He thought that
some of his playmates were pelting him
from the bushes, and so began to throw
stones in return. But the contest was
too unequal, for it was the mountain
that was throwing stone at him; and
ere long he fled in terror, leaving his
goats TO their fate.
| have no space to tell you the whole
story of this great eruption; how many
plantations were ruined by the shower
of stones, and, far worse, how so or
perhaps 100 people were killed by them,
with great numbers of cattle and
horses; how the lava damned back a
stream and formed boiling lake,
which broke through after month and
came Kissing down the valley, over
whelming whole negro settlement;
how ashes were carried 500 or 600 miles
out to sea, and Barbados, so miles off,
was darkened by the cloud, so that
people had to grope their way at noon
and use candles in their houses; how
the explosions were heard hundreds OF
miles away, and it was thought that
they were the guns of great feet or
army.
But one thing | must tell you. When
the eruption was over and people could
ascend the mountain again they found
the crater-the one DIR. Bell had visited
-all changed. Instead of the smoking
cone, there was lake of water 9OC
feet below, filing the whole area, and
so deep that no one has ever been able
to fathom it. And beside this, separat.
el from it only by thin wall, they
found new crater, even larger; it was

to the field and spread. This is the
most sensible way. When the coun-
try was new the soil filed with
sweet native grasses and the butter
made had delicious flavor. by the
lax system of dairying the soil gradual
ly became depleted of fertility, the
tune grasses slowly went out and
weeds and coarse grasses came in. The
Lutter made now is not of as good quail
~ as formerly. 4 few of the best
dairymen. observing whence they were
drifting by this system of depletion,
changed their methods, fed more grain,
especially cottonseed meal, carefully
husbanded and applied all the solid
manure made, and now the tame
grasses are driving out the weeds and
other wild growth. This is farming on
right lines. 1t must be understood
that most dairy lands are not tillablc.
The dairymen might go further now
and utilize the liquid manure, which
is almost wholly neglected. -Galen Will
