THE BIRTHPLACE OF STORMS.

In British Columbia, north of our
states of Washington and Montana, are
situated the Selkirk mountains. These
mountains lie between the Cascade
range and the Rocky mountains, and
are especially noted for one thing only,
which ie, that in their wilderness of
cold grandeur, little storms Just born
are nurtured. There they play among
the peaks, leaping from glacier TO gla-
cier, until, gathering strength, they
cross Canada. Montana, and the Dako-
tas, and at last lose their fury in the
vast Atlantic.
Winds warmed by the Japan cur
rent, which swings in from the Pacific
ocean, blow upon the Oregon and Wash.
ington coast, giving Western Oregon
and Washington mild climate. This
warm air current is forced up the slopes
of the Cascade range and across to the
Selkirk mountains. There it meets
the cold currents of those heights, and
the battle is joined. The lighter, warm
or air rushes upward and the intensely
cold air of the snow fields and glaciers
rushes down to take its place. and thus
our cold waves are formed. 1t is said
that among those barren peaks, from
nine to twelve thousand feet above the
sea, in the region of eternal frost, are
enacted some of the grandest phenom-
ena of nature. When the warm air
from the Pacific and the Chinook
breezes from the Great American Des-
ert meet the polar winds. the noise of
the storm forming is like the distant
crash of avalanches. From thie, their
birthplace, the storms fight their way
eastward.

SHEEP.

After the summer crops are taken off
SOW crop of rape; it will give your
sheep more and better pasturage than
anything you can grow. If you raise
sheep. rape is one of the crops you
should grow.
Sheep delight in billy pastures, and
the protection afforded by sheltering
the animals from the chilling winds is
no small feature of their adaptability
to this industry.
People are becoming more and more
shy of buying poor mutton. and, there.
fore, farmers are paying more heed to
the raising and feeding of good sheep.
1t is sign of a careless shepherd to
have bury wool to carry to market,
and there get locked five cents a pound,
in consequence. II you have not got
them out of the pastures, get them off
the fleece.
There has always been prejudice on
the part of many against eating mutton,
but it was due to the fact that SO much
poor, half-fed sheep meat has been put
on the market. Better mutton is curing
the objection.
All stock is looking up. Where are
those who have sold their sheep going
to get new hocks? Will they be pre-
pared to pay flush prices when wool
and mutton bring something like old
figures?
To stock farm with twenty COWS
and the necessary fixtures, will cost
$1,000. A hundred and fifty sheep can
be bought for about half the sum, and
will feed upon the same land.
A flock of sheep demands little care,
comparatively, while cows must be
MIXED, the milk cared for, and the
butter and cheese made. Where the
former would thrive, the cattle would
starve, almost.
Sheep will get more sustenance from
poor land and do the land more good at
the same time than will any other

FROM LONGFELLOW'S
"OUTRE .MER."

The devotion paid at the shrine of the
Virgin is one of the most prominent and
characteristic features of the Catholic
religion. In Spain it is one of the most
attractive features. In the southern
provinces, in Granada and in Andalusia,
which the inhabitante call LA terra
de Maria Santisima," meaning the land
of the most holy Mary. this devotion is
ardent and enthusiastic. There was
one OF it's outward observances which
struck me as peculiarly beautiful and
impressive. refer to the Ave Maria,
an evening service Of the Virgin. just
as the evening twilight commences the
bell tolls. In moment, throughout the
crowded city, the hum of business is
hushed, the thronged streets are still;
the gay multitudes that crowd the pub.
lie walks stand motionless, the angry
dispute ceases, the laugh of merriment
dies away; life seems for a moment to
be arrested in it's career and stand still.
The multitudes uncover their heads
and with the sign of the cross whisper
their evening prayer to the Virgin. Then
the bells ring merrier peal; the crowd
moves again in the streets and the rush
and turmoil of business recommences. I
have always listened with feelings
solemn pleasure to the bell that sounded
forth the Ave Maria.
AS it announced the close of day it
seemed also to call the soul from it's
worldly occupations to repose and devo-
ton. There is something beautiful in
thus measuring the march of time. The
hour, too, naturally brings the heart in
to union with the feelings and senti-
ments OF devotion.
The close of the day, the shadows of
evening, the calm of twilight inspire a
feeling of tranquility; and though | may
differ from the object of this supplica-
ton, yet it seems to me beautiful and
appropriate solemnity that at the close
of each daily epoch of life, which, if it
has not been fruitful in incidents to our
selves. has, nevertheless, been SO to
many Of the great human family: the
voice of the whole people and of the
whole world should go up to heaven in
praise and supplication and thankful
ness,

Mr.. Barclay sat down beside him
on the stone slab, and began talking
over all he knew about John Cams
life and actions. Cecil affected to be
interested in all he said, though
really he could think of one thing
only: the treasure, the treasure, the
treasure. But he managed also to
let Mr.. Barclay see how much he too
knew about the old buccaneer; and
Mr.. Barclay, who was simple-mind-
ed learned enthusiast for all that con-
cerned the antiquities of his native
island, was so won over by this dis
play of local knowledge on the part
of a stranger,and an Englishman, that
he ended by inviting Cecil over to his
house at Spanish Town, to stop as
long as he was able. Cecil gladly
accepted the invitation, and that very
afternoon, with beating heart, he
took his place in the numbering train
that carried him over to the final goal
of his Jamaican expedition.

HORTKCULPURE

In setting out an orchard, trees of
medium size and an abundance of root
fibers are much more valuable than large
and spreading tops, with but few roots,
which are incapable of feeding the trees.
Berries should be cultivated often; it

rains can then penetrate the soil, and
the moisture will be retained for use in
summer time.

CATTLE.

The best proof that there is fair profit
in raising good cattle may be found in
the fact that the men who handle that
sort are not complaining about the bus.
mess.
When the cattle market became de-
pressed the poor stuff suffered first.
When there is but slight profit at the
best with poor stock it does not require
much of drop before said profit is
wholly annihilated.
Although there is much in favor OF
other rations, oats is about the best
thing we can give to calves. Mixed with
corn meal, it is great milk producer
for cows.
Nothing has ever improved the cattle
of America like the importing of Short
horns. They have raised average weight
two or three hundred pounds, reduced
the selling age whole year, and have
also increased the selling price.
While salt affects the milk supply, it
as readily affects the growth and fatten-
ing of cattle. as it has so much to do
with digestion; and because it does aid
digestion, it should be in reach all the
time.

Nansen tells many touching stories of
his experiences. During the last stage
of the journey all the dogs had gone
killed one by one to feed their fellows.
Dog ate dog, until only Suggen and
Kaifes we're left. One was Nansen's,
the other was Johansen's. Many
scourging they had been compelled to
give them, many time had they half
fayed them in their bitter anxiety,
cursed them on with fierce oaths, as
explorers must when their own lives are
at stake-but neither of them could
kill his own dog. So they snapped
dogs, and deep into their faithful hearts
drove their knives.

must be So" in such ventures. Bet

DATR II,

For profit an old COW should be killed
as soon as the milk ceases to pay for
her keeping. without wasting any more
food upon her, even if the hide must be
sold and the carcass cast upon the COM
post heap.
Scanty summer pasturage and diet
of hay through the winter will keep the
hide and the body of the COW together
and cause her to yield as much milk as
goat, but she will not be profitable in
this climate.
A good garden, small fields of clover.
oats, corn and wheat, all we'll MANFRED
direct from the dairy, will help toward
profitable income. The dairyman can
go into some of these collateral branches
without prejudicing his main interests.
Butter we'll made, sailed and packed.
impervious to the air, and then buried
in the soil. where it will be at even tenn
perature, will be as good six months
hence as now; and then the prices will
be higher and the demand greater.
The last quart from the milking is
thrice richer than the first one, and not
to strip COW clean is to doubly lose. for
the neglect dries the COW, and another
source OF shortage is soon manifest.
The really good COW is like the really
smart mana little nervous. She is Ii
able to be influenced by new surround
ings. or those which disturb the even
tenor of her way in any fashion.

Success upon the farm depends not
SO much upon the capital which is ex-
pended as upon the labor and skill with
which it lie used. In no other business
is the man with but little money at a
less advantage.
Many good. thrifty weeds will pro-
duce fifty thousand seeds. One cut with
the hoe will destroy the parent weed;
how many cuts will it take to thorough
ly eradicate it's progeny?
Before you think you have money to
burn, or to put into fast horse or shiny
buggy. put it into windmill. 1t will
often permit the use of an idle pasture
field, or will save the garden in time of
drouth.
Ii the grain is ground into flour and
the beeves and hogs are packed at
home, instead of being shipped away. it
helps to build up manufacturing town,
and will, in turn. give a better market
for all your products.
A soil which is very loose upon the
top is not in the best condition for ger
mination OF grain sown; roll it. or press
it down in some way, and there will be
less cause to complain about poor seed.
Thousands of acres of hill lands which
are now apparently worthless. could be
redeemed and made profitable by en-
couraging the growth of clover or other
green crops, and then using the land
for sheep.
Good farming is not possible unless
you have efficient teams. Horses are
cheap now, and it is good time to dis
pose Of the poorer work animals and
fill their places with better ones.
A horse can do 80 much more work
than a hoe. that there will be many
times when the possession of an extra
animal will save the paying out money
for labor. Get young horses, if for no
other reason than that they will last
longer.

H0KSES.

1t might pay to give more attention
to breeding class of horses with the
endurance necessary to carry them
fifty or sixty miles day, instead of
looking for the mile in two minutes.
Prices could be more readily obtained
and at an earlier age. even if not 30
great.
Horses went down when the panic
came, and the little horses have been
going down ever since. Those who had
the courage to breed on and up are now
getting high prices for the high. class
horses.
A weak horse may be readily ruined
by being compelled to work against one
much stronger. Equalize the strength
of the teams as much as possible.
Few farmers are able to sell trotters
to advantage. They have no opportu-
nifty to learn the trotter's anatomy,
training and pedigree. 1t is not strict
ly branch of agriculture.
The time has passed when a horse
bred to no definite type, or adapted to
no specific purpose, can be sold at the
cost of his production. and no man can
afford to breed such.
"The righteous man regardeth his
beast" Many who are good farmers in
all other respects do not properly appre-
ciate the horse nor treat him we'll. The
horse suffers, the owner loses.
We must keep the feet and legs of the
horse clean, if we would avoid disease
therein. A good bath with soft cloth
and tepid water at night will pay for
the trouble in the comfort given to the
horse.
Breeders who are fortunate enough to
get pure-bred draft mares of 1,600
pounds or more, find they make excel
lent farm teams. and can raise good
colts as we'll as haul heavy loads of
grain or manure. and draw the farm
machinery through or over the ground
to perfection.

THE ROBIN.

In the tall elm tree sat the robin bright,
Through the rainy April day,
And he caroled clear with a pure de-
light,
In the face of the sky so gray
And the silver rain through the blossoms
dropped,
And fell on the robins coat
And his brave red breast, but he never
stopped
Piping his cheerful note.
For o, the fields were green and glad,
And the blissful life that stirred
On the earth's wide breast was full and
warm
In the heart of the little bird.
The raincloud lifted, the sunset light
Streamed wide over valley and hill;
AS the plains of heaven the land grew
bright,
And the warm south wind was still.
Then loud and clear called the happy
bird,
And rapturously he sang,
Till wood and meadow and riverside
With jubliant echoes rang.
But the sun dropped down in the quiet
west,
And he hushed his song at last;
All nature softly sank to rest,
And the April day had passed.
