THE LAND OF PEACE.

Oh, tell me the way to the realms of peace,
Where In childhood days we strayed:
Where we plucked fair blossoms from
boughs OF gold.
And then, when the days sweet tale was
told,
Slumbered and walked In peace.
We have Travelled far from the peaceful
- land,
Where those sunny days were spent.
Out into the world of sorrow and care.
Away from the quiet and beauty there
In that far-off land of peace.
And we often sigh, mid the toll and strife
or this workaday world OF ours.
For glimpse of the sunny lanes and dells,
The sound of the magical. musical bells
OF our childhood's realms of peace.
oh. tell me the way to the realmsof peace:
] have searched for 1t far and wide;
Have somtimes fancied saw its trees.
And the snowy wings on the. evening

We may not return to the sun-kissed cline
or our childhood dreams again;
We have Travelled too far; our weary feet
The long. long journey could not repeat
To regain that land of peace.
But we journey on to a fairer land
Than that which in dreams we see;
And we know full well. sometime, some
where,
We shall catch the radiance, wondrous,
fair :
or the land OF perpetual peace.
We shall catch the notes of sweeter song
Than eer we have dreamed or heard;
We shall see vision of streets, all gold;
We shall fall asleep as in days of old.
And slumber and wake in peace.

WATER IN ABUNDANCE.
II Is Absolutely Essential To tho
Highest and Most Perfect MIX
Production.

An abundant supply of water, easily
obtained whenever the COW wants 1t,
is necessary to the highest milk produc-
ton. About 81 per cent. Of milk Is wa

Is limited the milk yielded is proper

pure, palatable water summer and win
ter, so that the COW will drink large
quantities, as, within reasonable limits,
an increase in water consumption
brings an increase in the milk yield.
Some dairymen are obliged to water
their cows in summer from artificial
ponds. When this is the case the pond
should be fenced and the water drawn
of into trough by pipe controlled
by float valve, so that the trough will
always be full of clean water. When
cows are allowed to stand in a pond
the water becomes indescribably filthy
and the cows will not drink enough to
maintain full milk yield. Such water
is liable to faint the milk, and some of
the filth which collects on the cows
body while standing in the water is
very apt to fall into the pail at milking.
This summer we saw dairy cows drink
ing from ponds in which they stood
and in which pigs wallowed. Milk from
single herd Of COWS watered in this
way might faint the entire product OF
creamery.
In winter dairy cows which have poor

THE CONGRESS JUST OUT.
A Record which Coming Bodies
May Well lie Proud TO
Emulate.

The Fifty-ffth congress has closed
its labors and. unless the president
calls a special session of the Fifty-sixth
congress. the country will have no
more national legislation until next
winter. Most of the work properly be-
longing to the congress elected in 1896
was completed. In some instances it.
was unsatisfactory. In one, it was in
fnitely worse. As whole, however, it
commands approval and will stand out
in American history as evidence of
craftsmanship and patriotism which
could rise above partisanship.
In the special session, called almost
Immediately after President Mckinley
was inaugurated, the senate led the
way in exalting patriotism above party.
II was not n republican body, yet it
passed the republican tariff which
came to it from the house, and that, too,
without partisan amendments. 1t
recognized the fact that the people
pealed and bill affording u higher
degree of protection passed, and it
acted accordingly. The senate Of the
Fifty-fifthl congress deserves a popular
vote of gratitude for its part in max
ing the Dingley law. The house did
only what it was bound by every con-
sideration of political honor to do, but
the senate rose superior to ordinary
political motives
In the magnitude of its appropria-
tions this congress made an unprece-
denied record. Hitherto the billion
dollar figure has been regarded as a
high-water mark, but this congress
pushed the appropriations up to n bill
lion and half. However. the increase
was not due to extravaganza. 1t grew
out Of the war. and the country cordial
ly approved every item of it.
The congress which has now passed
into history did more than turn new
leaf in our national annals. 1t began
fresh volume, and wrote the opening
cha pier to its end. The Fifty-sixth con-
gress can take up the legislation for
our new territory unembarrassed by
any enactment of its predecessor. The
policy of meeting great questions only
as they actually arose was steadfastly
auhereu 10 ny tHe riL'y-hitn congress
from first to last in regard to both the
war and its results. The highest duty
of legislative body is to meet the re-
quirements of the situation as they
arise, but hardly less importaht is 1t to
refrain from touching matters which
lie beyond the field Of present respon-
sibilitity.
Happy will it be for the country II

Economy of HornIe.s Cows.

When it comes to putting up cows for
winter the COW that has no horns will
be found to take much less room than
her neighbor who is tempted to and
generally does hook and fight all those
near her. In the stable, of course, each
stall will accommodate its COW, horns
or no horns. But we believe that horned
cattle are often kept in stables on
bright, pleasant, winter days. to keep
them from hooking one another, when
they would be much healthier If allowed
to run in small yard. Most barnyards
are made much larger than would be
necessary il all horns were removed.
This wastes manure, as more surface
is exposed to rains, and the droppings
in large yard are soften so scattered
that they are never gathered into heaps
and carried where they are needed

TRAFFIC HAMPERED.
Good Roads Sermons Taken mt RAM
dom from n Number of Illinois
Local Newspapers.

That the good roads fad" has more
of foundation than have many of the
roads themselves, is apparent to any
one who is in position to read the pa
pers of the land. From the local papers
of single state Qllinois), where roads
are about as they are in many other
states-we CLEAN the following: At
Chandlerville, 1.-The roads are so rough
the doctors are taking the train when
they can to go TO see their patients, and
when that is not convenient, they
walk" At Pleasantview 1.-The warm
weather stopped the wood haulers,
owing to bad roads" At jacksonville
n news agent announces that "on and
after January Is, the delivery of Sun
day papers will be discontinued on all
streets not paved. until the conditions
of the roads improve" At Plymouth
"Coal Is again in demand by many of
our people The roads have been so
everlasting muddy, the hauers of coal
from the ridge could not get in with
load" a Bloomington paper says: I'm
most towns of central Illinois. grain
hauling is suspended until the roads
are BETTER" etc.
Now,all Of the foregoing would lead one
to infer that the good roads movement
has more back of it than "a mere hand
full of bicyclists. who want farmers to
build good roads. so that cycling may
be enjoyed by those city fellows"
1t is gratifying to know that even the
farmers are now looking at the question
in the right light, and are showing a dis
position to work hand in hand with
cyclists for the benefit and betterment
of all concerned.-GoodR Roads.

is so soft that the broad-tired wagon
sinks into the ground to any consid-
cradle extent, the draft is so heavy
that hauling is almost impossible.
On roadbeds which have u curved
surface, as shown in the accompanying
illustration, broad tires are u disad-
vantage, as only the inner surface
touches the edge of the road and the
leverage produces greater friction at
than would be caused by the use of
narrow tires. The wider the tire the
more friction, and the harder the load
pulls. This principle also applies to
roads that are full of stones and upon
roads which have frozen and uneven
surfaces. Roads which slope to one
side or the other cause the same diff
Guilty. This applies to roads about Il
farm, and where the land is billy the
objection is more pronounced. or
course the increased leverage is not SO
perceptible unless the surface of the
ground is hard. Just how much differ
encc in draft there is between wagons
with narrow tires and those with
broad on curved road surface has
never been accurately determined, but
it is considerable. = Orange Judd

M'KINLEY'S TWO YEARS.
since His Election the Country Has
Deen Growing More Pros
porous.

The administration of President
Mckinley is just entering its third
year. 1t is, therefore, a fitting season to
inquire IL, in a general way, the good
results claimed by those who advocated
his election have been realized by the
country. When he was nominated for
the Office of president, the treasury was
fighting to retain its gold reserve, but
without success. His predecessor had
made two issues of bonds, cstensibly
for that purpose, but the proceeds were
largely used to make good the deficits
of the WilsonGorman tariff. More than
90 per cent. of the revenues were being
paid in silver funds. The endless
chain" was being used to get the gold
out of the treasury, which timid peo-
pie were boarding away, or it was being
exported to pay for American securities
in Europe which the owners were anx-
ious to get rid of. The party which
nominated the president promised to
maintain the gold standard.
His election put an end to all doubts
about the possibility of the country
passing to a silver basis. Confidence
came. The endless chain ceased to run.
Gold flowed into the country, and the
mines increased their output. but it
was the confidence which came with
the election of Maj. Mckinley that
turned the tide. Industries began to
pick up slowly, and business bright

large expectations of breadstuffs, which

ing the iron industry into an activity
before unknown. This activity quickly
extended to other industries. because
better prices on the farms and in many
factories quickened the consumption
reaching at last the depressed cotton
manufacturing industry of New Eng
land. One will look in vain for u period
when so many advances in wages in so
many industries have been announced.
Now nearly 90 per cent. of the revenues
of the country are paid in gold, while
the certainty of the gold basis causes
the present volume of silver dollars and
certificates to be accepted as being as
good as gold Conditions have been ia
vorable, but they have only tended to
help the work which the republicans
promised in 1896 to do, and which the
administration has helped along. Fa.

turned back the disaster which tri-

brought to the country.
The war with Spain and the immense
responsibilities, involving new condi-
tions. were not dreamed of. So far as
the president has been called upon to
assume these responsibilities it is adj

found the professor raking together
broken bits of stone and rusty scraps
of old iron, they settled in their own
minds that he was an enchanter, who
needed these seemingly worthless
things in order to frame magic spell
by which the buried money was to be
discovered. From that day he became a
very mysterious and wonderful person
in their eyes, and his strange doings-
which grew stranger stil every time
they were told-were the talk of the
whole country round.
But it unluckily happened that
among the many who heard and won
dered at these stories were band Of
Arab robbers who haunted the neigh
boring mountains; and it struck these
gentlemen that it would be no bad plan
to get hold of this woodworking
European, force him to unearth some
of the hidden money for them, and so
make themselves rich for life.
One hot afternoon the professor had
wandered to n considerable distance
from the camp in search of new spots
to dig for relies. He was sitting in the
shade of a bowlder, thinking over all he
had done and all that he meant to do,
when suddenly there came gliding out
from between two great rocks right in
'front.' of him six or seven tall. wild-eyed,
fierce-looking Arabs, in soiled white
turbans and ragged blue frocks, every
man with long gun on his shoulder
and a huge knife in his tattered Grim
son sash.
Herr Altenstein knew ut the first
glance who these grim-looking fellows
were, and what they wanted. But he
had not lived for years in the east with
out knowing how to deal with Arabs.
He never stirred from his place, but
only turned his head slowly round, and
looked full at them through his great
green spectacles, without uttering a
word.
Now, n story has got abroad about
these spectacles, as about everything
else belonging to the "enchanter." 1t
was said that he had killed tiger and
put on its eyes over his own, by which
means he could find his way in the
dark and see things which were to be
seen by no one else. So when the SUI
perstitious robbers saw the glare of
these terrible double eyes" turned full
upon them they began to lose heart at
once, to hang back as if the professor
had been loaded cannon.
Then Herr Altenstein rose slowly to
his full height and cried in Arabic:
who are We who dare to disturb me
on my own ground?"
The robbers looked scared, for an
eastern brigand is always inclined to
be afraid of any man who does not
seem at all afraid of him. But their
chief thought of the buried money and
plucked up courage.
'Art thou the western enchanter?"
asked he.
II am" said the professor, sternly,
