FoREsHAoowINes.

We may not look across the misty tide
o. hear or feel the breath Of passing wingA
Yet seen and unseen weave their fringes wide,
And nature teens with clear foreshadowinga
Not In wild storms of crashing thunder rung,
But in deep silences that brood about,
Without a word from lisping lip or tongue
She cheers the faith that wrestles with doubt.
From brown cocoons the winds have tossed and
whirled,
Broad wings Of gold beat up the viewless air,
And dry seed germs that wander round the world
Are quick with strange unfoldings rich and
rare.
The sharded beetle bred in marshy fen
TRANSPORTED scars above his riyen shell
On flashing wings before the gaze of men,
A royal birth, q living truth as we'll.
And still, sweet voices speak the ages through;
No germ is lost. but lives foreyermore.
The seed unfolds to fairer life anew,
And from the dust strong pinions mount and
soar.

One thing that strikes stranger as
peculiar in this country is the attitude
OF the public toward the cattle and the
hogs. These animals are allowed to
roam about unnlolested. and If you
wish to raise anything that they may
destroy you must fence them out. Thus
all the little gardens in which vegeta-
bles are grown and which are called
trucking places" have u fence around
them that is certainly pig tight" for
1t is often made of ten strands of barb

plots is worth more than all the pigs
in the state. but the hog owner de-
mands it. and it must be done. These
owners of cattle and hogs were the
first settlers in the state and they APP
pear to have had their own way in
lawmaking ever since. 1t is question
of the attitude. In the northern
states If you own cattle you are held
responsible for fencing them in. Here
