Comparatively little has been heard
of Devon cattle of late years, says an
exchange, but there are now some signs
of revival of interest in them. Their
hardness and ability to take care of
themselves commend them to ranchmen,
and those who have tried them on the
range are giving very favorable reports
Their disposition to thoroughly ripen at
light weight is also in their favor
now, when heavy fat cattle are losing
and light ones gaining i'll popularity.
At one Of the Pittsburg yards recently
Devon steers averaging in the neighbor-
hood of /. 900 pounds brought 81. 70 per
hundredweight, an exceedingly good
price for the weight They were tidy
butcher beeyes, the kind most wanted
these days. This change i'll market de-
mands should be favorable to these
beautiful aud useful cattle.

fibers, it will require less pruning than
if it has but few stout roots devoid of
fibers.
In general way, it may be said that
hard wooded trees require severe prun-
ing, while those having soft, sappy
wood need but light pruning. This
does not always apply. A pin oak has
very fbrous roots, as rule, and moves
quite easily without much pruning,
though some will consider it advisable
to do severe cutting even in its case. On
the other hand, the larch, which has a
very soft, sappy wood, but practically
no fibers. and, in fact, but little root,
must be pruned closely to get it to
transplant well. The illustration shows
what quantities of fibrous roots the pin
oak has.

An international bimetallic confer

Britain as we'll as other leading nations
is now looked upon as probable if not
indeed an assured fact. The latest ad-
vices from Europe indicate that Presi-
dent KcKinley's commissioners hare
received assurances from the British
Government that it sill cooperate In n
conference, and that the assurance by
England and France renders it certain
that other leading nations will gener-
ally follow, while the probability that
it will be held in the United States adds
very much to the interest in the an

they are deeply concerned.

course, have been prompted by hostil-

The free traders are seeking to eyade
the fact that the reduction of the tariff
duties by the Wilson law caused the
reduction in coal miners wages, by as
serting that there was no increase in
the importatlons of coal under the Will
son law and it could not have reduced
prices. They assume apparently that
the public does not understand that the
reduction in tariff enabled the low
priced Nova Scotia coal to come into
competition with that dug by the miners
OF the United States and by reason of
its low prices drove the West Virginia
coal out of the eastern markets. This
was the fact aud no befogging of the
situation will prevent anybody under
standing that it was the reduction in
the price at which Nova Scotia Goals
were laid down in eastern ports that
drove eastern Goals out Of the east and
into the west, producing the war which
resulted in the reduction of coal miners
wages.

A VISIONARY poo1s.

Grasp that which sec before me,
'ris vision, yea, know,
But it's priceless in its value,
Which deemed it long ago.
1t has often thrilled my being
With its promises o! fame,
So l wish TO grasp IL firmly,
Never let 1t so again.
Its my ever true ompanion,
Aud my mind sought leader too,
Leading me in hours of labor,
Giving me my work to do.
'Tis an ancient book of nations,
Scrlbcd so knowledge, save, can read
And we all unconscious OF 1t,
Strive in this, our friends to lead.
When we lift its pondcrous cover,
We have half the labor DER,
Though its pages are known countless,
Still wen turn them and read more.
And while studying these pages,
We have often seen the prints,
OF n students lead soiled finger,
That has offered us some hints.
Know we not but twas of Shakespeare,
Of II Lowell, or n Poe,
Or our most beloved poet,
Who is known as Longielow.
They have left their little guide posts.
For the thoughts while in this book,
As they're left for weary travellers,
Showing them which way to look.
Each is eager for conclusions
SO they read it night and day,
Making use OF every minute,
That 1t gives them no delay.
Can we scorn the eager workers
Who through darkness still strive on,
Since we know the blessed wisdom
Is the first prize to be won?
Grateful would we be when sometime,
Wisdom's page we should DER turn,
And would show all hidden secrets,
Which the world had tried to learn.
Great mems wants are only wisdom,
Nations then must be the same,
Happy world enjoying freedom,
Would resound her gracious name.
