Because the sun itself is cold;
When streams are suiien, freighted down
With sodGen drift ard the red mold:
When plum trees. stripped of .eafy gown.
Toward he salt mist lean branches sere;
Then hey. my heart, and no, my heart,
The turning of the year,
When crows fly low, and dusbs are gray.
And n4ists lie leecy on the hills;
When walks are white at break of day.
And from the hedge a robin trilis;
When leaf buds feel the rising play

When you meet a politician
OF strictly business kind,
Who at last has climbed the ladder
And left all his past behind.
You must compliment him shrewdfy
If you don't want any row,
You can say you're glad he got there,
But you beedn mention. how.
You can speak your admiration
OF the place he's risen 10
And talk about the future
And the things that he wilTdo.
But brevity is safer.
Simply make your little bow
And say you're glad he got there;
Aud you needn't mention how.

Note the waves OF my delight,

Intruspect your inmost being,

ELECTION OF RARE POEMS.

\ Fairy Grave.
Let little grave be made.
Half in shadow, half in shade,
In quiet. kindly place,
Friendly as her face
Let the passing fairy bird
From his airy height be heard;
Ever ever for that ground
Only gentle sound
Let the singing winds, which be
Winged dream and melody,
Singing softly. by her lie,
Softly singing. die.
Let the bee has sucked the bloom
Homeward journey by her tomb,
And his tithe of sweet be paid
To her sweeter shade.
Let the low clouds. red and gold,
Mourn her on the mountains old:
Beauty. aye her guardian be,
You and Melody
Spirits of sound and souls of flowers
All you dearest griefless powers,
You with whom she went away,
Tend her night and day

wood AsAen for Cows.

In the early settlement of the coun-
try, when cows had access to newly
cleared land with its burned and
charred stumps, they used often togo
TO where stumps had been burned and
lick up the charcoal. Many farmers
believe that cows thus allowed free
range were less liable to abortion than
those kept in close stables. The ashes
probably satisfied some want in the
animal economy. II may have been the
phosphate they contain which is re-
quired by the bones OF the growing
foetus. If cows eat too much the pot
ash in the ashes corrects the acidity of
their stomachs. which often results
where stock is highly fed in stables
where it has little exercise.
