Better Market For Meat.

The recent rise in the price of beef
and the purpose of eastern city butch
ers to organize against the beef trust
probably mean better market for all
meat products, as well as a revival of
beef fattening by eastern farmers. Tn
der the conditions prevailing the past
few years. eastern farmers have had
no beef except that from superannuat-
ed cows, for which they could get no
sale. OF course to keep their cows in
milk they had to breed them once a
year, but unless the calf was worth
saving as breeder, it was generally
killed as soon as born. not even fur
nishing food as veal, which it might do
If kept few weeks. With higher
prices for beef. it viii pay to keep all
calves at least till they can be sold as
veal. and those that are thrifty may be
kept and fed until l or years old. At
this age they make much better beef
than the western cattle, which have
their uue proportion of old cows and
bulls mixed with the and 4 year old
steers. which furnish most of the beef
that the eastern consumer buys
Thrifty young stock can usually be
kept with profit on an eastern farm,
where the price of cattle has not been
unduly depressed. A large part of its
feed comes from produce that would
be wasted were there not young fat
tening stock to feed it to- Boston Cul-

Renents fnair.in.

Mr. r. G Wexford in an address be-
fore the Illinois Dairymen association
made the following observation upon
the beneficial effects of dairying on any
community in which it exists. He said
I'm my experience of 30 years in Hi
nois. Wisconsin Iowa and Missouri
have noticed that wherever the dairy
COW is there is prosperity. whether the
climate be good or bad Dairying has
also greatly increased the sociability
and contact of farmers with one an
other for they meet when they come to
the creamery or factory. While they
are waiting they discuss how to get and
keep good cows This has done won
ders for such farmers 1t has also called
out more intelligent farming and we
find that the papers that cater to their
ideals are sought for and eagerly read. :"

The snrroufuI Tree.

There is tree in Persia to which the
name 1.-THE sorrowful tree is given
Perhaps because it blossoms only in tbs

When the first star appears in the
heavens the first bud of the sorrowful
tree opens. and as the shades of night
advance and the stars thickly stud the
sky the buds continue gradually open
ing until the whole tree locks like one
immense white flower On the approach
of dawn. when the brilliancy of the
stars gradually fades in the light Of
day. the sorrowful tree closes it's flow
ers. and ere the sun is fully risen not a
single blossom is visible A sheet OF
flower dust as white as snow covers the
ground around the foot of the tree.
which seems bliyhted and withered dur,
ing the day. while. however. it is ac
lively preparing for the next nocturnal
festival. The fragrance of the blossoms
is like that of the evening primrose.
If the tree is cut down close to the
roots, new plant shoots up and attains
maturity in an incredibly short time
In the vicinity of this singular tree
there usually grows another which is
almost an exact counterpart of the sor-
rOwful tree. but less beautiful, and
strange to say, it blooms only in the
daytime st, Louis Globe Democrat.

Hearn's vivid Imagination.

Many years ago Lafcadio Hearn was
a reporter on the staff of a Cincinnati
newspaper One day famous steeple
climber was going D scale the spire Of
the cathedral to repair the cross that
topped the spire 20J feet above the side
walk. The afternoon he first scaled the
spire thousands of people watched him
breathlessly as lie slowly made his way
up the outside of the steeple. Of course
he was interviewed. and he said boast
ingly that the task was so easy that he
could just as well carry man up on
his back
That noon Hearn said timidly to his
city editor that he had read of the
steeple climbers offer and would be
glad to ascend the spire ON his back
The editor tried to point out to Hearn
the peril of the thing. Int he would
not listen. Finally the steeple climber
and Hearn arranged their end of the
feat.
AT the appointed time Hearn mount
ed the steeple climber shoulders. and
the dizzy journey began. Tens of thou
SANDS OF people watched the foolhardy
pair AT last the cross was reached. and
Hearn left his perch ON the climbers
shoulders The mob in the streets be
low cheered. and then the two men re
turned to the ground safely
Hearn went back to the Office and sat
down and wrote two columns of story
describing his sensations. and the glo
ries of the view he had obtained from
the steeple top. Such glowing de-
scription of city seen from great
height has never been read before or
since The most interesting thing about
it was the fact that Hearn was SO near
sighted he could not see five feet beyond
the tip of his nose. San Francisco

Fashion In Breeds !
Something which Successful Z
Cattle Raisers Must
Consider.

One very satisfactory point in con-
nection with cattle breeding in almost
every respect is the continual change
in fashion which restores to favor so
many breeds and points in breeds that
from time to time almost appear to
sink into oblivion. But few years
ago Shorthorn breeders were discard
ing every animal of white color or even
approaching it. At the present time
whites are quite as much in demand
as any other color. Again, in the Jer-
sey breed, few years ago, TO exhibit
or purchase an animal with even
white spot upon it was the way to
condemn the herd whence it came

be perhaps more correct, common
