We've crossed the morning ridge,
The first divide;
LIES broad plateau we tread =
With level stride.
Stilled are the matin songs,
And dried the dew;
The dusty roads of noon
Our feet pursue.
Manhood. with straining thews
And beaded brow,
Has been so many miles
Our yoke-mate now.
That well-nigh we forget
What shifts he brings
Tolls hobnail shoon for Hopes
.Doeldalian wings.
Oh glorious flights we dreamed
10 reach the sun
But here we plod, nor yet
Earth's heights have won.
Shall any there mid ice
Pluck immortellesg
And who shall faint belowP-
No Sibyl spells.
In vain we strive to pass
The bounds of Fate,
But blind we bleeding strive,
As early, lats.
Yet, who would know his weird,
And cease to striveY
The strain It's, not the gain,
That makes alive.
I've thought, might but see,
Wrought by my hand,
Some work that could deem
Had power to stand.
Then could say to Death:
Come, take thy prey;
My better part shall still,
Despite thee stay.
But all my works to Death
Appointed are,
The lump, the clod shaped,
And meant star.
Failures foredoomedl which glad
10 death l cast.
Not what / wrought. but what
/ sought shall last.
We fight in cloud and gloom,
Nor, stumbling, know,
Whether we yield our ground,
Or drive the foe.
Oh best are they for whom
Ont breaks the sun,
Revealing foe in flight,
A kingdom won.
But blest they too that fall
Nor triumph see.

The latest method OF locating tho
hives on the ground, each hive sitting
on its own bottom board, is a much
better way of wintering bees than the
way of setting the hives on high
fences, and perhaps number of hives
on the same platform. These benches
set up thus on stills are greatly af-
fected by the storms, and the shaking
thus produced is detrimental to the
bees. The hives should be in such
position that they NAV be kept free OF
any motion or jar, and when set close
to trees the limbs of the same should
not come in contact with the hives,
but any limb that may be driven
against the hives by wind should be
removed. Windbreaks in winter are
very beneficial to the bees and should
in all cases lie placed around the
hives. High board fences are the
best, but anything that will answer
the purpose is better than none, and
may lie used but Temporarily.
Evergreens arc the most complete
windbreak and ould be largely used
for not only bees but general wind
breaks. They are both very useful
and ornamental. Posts set in the
ground with railings attached and
corn fodder set up against this makes
q good winter beak for temporary
purposes, but must be well excluded
from stock OF any kind.
No stock of any kind should have
the run of the apiary. Poultry will
do no harm in summer. but should
not be attracted abou. the bee hives
in winter by the use of straw or any
thing of that nature about the hives.
1t is always best to have hives to face
the south or east in winter, or rather
to have the backs of the hives toward
the storm. Heavy SHOWS do no injury
to the bees and should not be shoveied
away from the hives. This is often
done, and more damage than good
results from it. Hives may be en-
tirely covered with snow, and during
a very severe spell of cold weather
this is very beneficial protection ia
the hives. A. II. DuF, in Farm. Field
and Fireside.

The pod-spOi.

The yellow or wax varieties of beans
are subject to disease that is called
pod-spot or anthracnose. 1t begins
by the appearance of small spots that
are of reddish brown color and are
slightly depressed. As the pods grow,
the centres of these spots assume q
dark color and they may run together.
1t shrinks the pod aud dwarfs and
shrivels the beans. 1t is not usually
prominent except in rainy seasons.
1t lies over the winter in diseased
beans. If such beans are mixed with
sound beans, when sending them to
market, the fungus will spread rap
idly. The same rust attacks melons,
and hence melons should not follow
beans that have had the disease, for
the spores, like the spores of corn
smut, are in the ground. II beans
that have been pod-spotted are used
for seed, the disease will appear upon
the leaves as soon rs the seed leaves
appear and may kill the plant, and
sometimes the largest proportion Of
the crop is killed.
One of the best preventives is to
plaut on high, light, well drained
soil. In selecting seed beans, all that
show signs of the disease should be
rejected. When the plants are two
weeks old, they will be benefited by
being sprayed with weak | ordeaux
mixture, to which enough soap has
been added to make little suds. Re
peat the spraying three or four times
at intervals of ten days. If the pods
are to lie eaten the spraying should
not be repeated more than once.
Whenever the disease appears upon q
pod or leaf, that pod or leaf Eecomes
a centre of infection, and ought to be
removed and destroyed. Burning is
the best means of destruction. -Agri.

kind. Tor year or two he attended
the school of Santo Tomas, in Manila,
but the death of his father called him
to Cavite, where he took up the work
of the farm. Here he soon made him
self prominent and troublesome by his
connection with the Katipunan
League, organized by Rizal against
the friars. The Governor.G General, to
vim his sympathies, appointed him
captain municipal of Cavite in 1895.
Aguinaldo's mentor and tutor in the
art of revolutions was Andres Boni-
facio, n schoolmaster Of Cavite, and
the original conspirator in the revolu-
ton against the Spanish. Bonifacio
influenced Aguinaldo to join the revo-
luton OF '96, acquainting him of the
intention of the Spaniards to secretly
murder all the members Of the Kati-
punan. Thereupon Aguinaldo, grasp
ing the opportunity of leadership, had
Bonifacio secretly killed, and placed
himself at the head Of the movement
against the Spanish. The Spanish
drove Aguinaldo to tho mountains,
but ultimately compromised with him.
His career from then till now is cur
rent news. Aguinaldo is not pure
Tagalog. His maternal grandfather
was Chinaman.

The first considerable discovery OF
gold in the Cape Nome district was
made in September. 1898, by party
of Swedos, who found it in the creeks
and gulches. They were sent out and
told where to look by Swedish mis-
sionary, n. o. Hultberg, who had
persisted, in spite of every discour-
agement, in believing that there was
gold along the edge OF Golofnin Bay.
Not till last summer was the beach
gold discovered. In the gulches
along the edge of the mountains the
diggings are coarse gold, nuggets
valued at $3.50 being found there six
or eight feet under the creek gravels.
Along the beach the gold is as fine as
bird shot or finer. It's occurrence is
mostly under two or three feet Of

of clay or argillaceo us sand, called by
the miners "bedrock. Thin layers

gravel near the bedrock" are often
found to be rich. The production OF

portion of digestible protein was
nearly twiceaas great in the mixed
grain ration as in the corn meal
ration.
The general appearance OF the cows
showed less thrift while being fed the
corn meal ration, though the body
weight did not vary greatly. The nj
trogenous ration produced from one
fifth TO one-third more milk than the
corn meal, and this milk was gener-
ally the richer in solids by 80 to 40
per cent The ration fed seemed TO
have little effect upon the composition
of the milk solids.
Throughout the experiment the
proportion of fat steadily increased
without regard to what the cows were
fed, and no evidence was furnished in
support of the claim that by changing
the food of cows, more butter fat will
be produced without an accompany
ing increased production OF the other
milk solids. Hence the most profit
able food for butter production will
also be the most profitable for the
cheese maker or the milk farmer. The
chemical tests did not show any ap-
preciable difference in the butter
made from the two rations. Corn
meal needs the addition Of more nj
trogenous material to make it useful

The tundra has not infrequently
yielded from ten to thirty cents to
the pan. Capital will doubtless be
required to develop the tundra de-
posits, and those OF high quality
which have been found in the benches
in the lower mountain region. Only
n comparatively small strip of coast has
been prospected thus far, but there
is no reason to suppose that the gold
discovered is more than fraction of

said for the Klondike district. In the
Klondilie there is growing timber for
building houses, constructing sluice-
works, furnishing a part of the neces-
sary fuel, etc. at Cape Nome there is
none, and every board, beam and post
must be brought from elsewhere. The
sea is open, however, from some time
in June till about the first of Novem-
Der, and steamships and sailing ves-
sells can ply to and fro freely. The
temperature never falls so low as in
the Klondike, but the ferceness Of
the winds which sweep the coast
makes the cold harder to bear. There
is not game enough to speak of, and
no natural food for horses and mules,
so that provisions for man and beast,
coal for heating and industrial pur-
poses, as well as building materials,
must be brought up from the south.

the region for the season just past is
estimated at $2, 900, 900, of which the
beach contributed one-half. Two
claims alone are credited with 1926, :
900 between them, while one gulch is
said to have yielded more than $780,
900.
In tho gulche9 mining is carried on
by stripping, slucing, and to some ex-
tent, by rocking, but on the beach
almost exclusively by rocking. In
the latter process the sea water is
used, the gold being caught in blank
cts, and to some extent ON copper
platos coated with mercury. Where
copper plate was lacking, the bottom
OF the rocker has been covered with
silver coin, coated with mercury.
The 5000 men working along the
beacl, in the late summer and fall
took out an average Of $40 each daily.

Tho Monitinr Perioh.

Hens do not moult at the same
period every year. They begin lit
tie earlier each season. A hen that
moults in July of this year may moult
in June next year, and the older they
get the sooner they begin to moult.
1t is not desirable TO have them begin
before July, as the summer is the best
time in the year for securing eggs.
August is late enough il the hens are
to get through by winter. The object
should be to assist them with nutri
tious food and protect them from the
weather. Separate the hens that be.
gin to moult from the others, so as to
be able to feed them in the best way.
Tonics in the drinking water are un.
necessary, but fresh bone pounded VI
will be found always beneficial.

The novel feature OF the club is the
arrangement by which sixteen saw
teeth, each half an inch in length, pop
out of sixteen holes, dig into the hand

pull.
The teeth remain concealed until
an attempt is made to wrench the club
