Many a man throughout the north
west viii this fall have to face the
problem of reducing the stock on his
farm to correspond with his supply Of
forage While there should always be
a culling out done each fall. 1t will
have TO be done more largely this year
than usual. Whatever Is done should
be on the line Of not attempting to
winter more stock than can be well
fed and cared for. The most profltless
speculation a farmer ever goes into Is
to attempt to winter ten head Of stock
On food which Is only sufficient for five

We are asked how best to transplant
an oak tree The oak Is one Of our ma
tive trees which 1t is almost impossible
to transplant. The acorn should be
planted and the tree produced in that
way where wanted. The very young
tree up to two years Of age may be
safely moved provided some OF the
roots are cut off In the spring Of the
second year, but 1t Is time wasted to
60 into the woods and try to success
fully transplant fair sized tree. Pos
sibly by removing a tree during the
winter, with large ball Of frozen
earth attached, 1t might be success
though we have never known 1t to be
done. The oak, like the black walnut,
sends its proofs down deep into the

Human Nature.

History. SO says the proverb,
Has strange. peculiar way
OF recording things tomorrow
Same as it did yesterday.
Yesterday saw an urchin
Who loud and long did cry
Just because his little sister
Had the biggest piece Of pie.
And, although his piece was ample,
Ii sometimes made him sore
Just because his loving mother
Gave his little sister more.
Perhaps the boy behaved unwisely,
But each day you will see men
Who are acting Just as foolish
As the urchin acted then.
Men forget their many blessings
Al for greater ones they sigh,
And they envy other mortals
Who get bigger hunks of pie!"

on the part of an American whom they
met on a train in the West. He told

chased such luxuries as would be need
ed in that crude village, such as a pri-
vate bathtub, with alcohol lamp for
heating the water, etc. The wag in
formed Mr.. Chamberlain that guests
at the Denver Hotel We're supposed &c
