his tear-stained face, he advanced.
with outstretched arms, to the rail, ex-
claiming:
Oh, m'anam lie Dia, but there it is,
The dawn on the coast of Ireland,
Gods angels lifting the nights black
veil
From the fair, sweet face of my
sireland.
Oh. Ireland, isn't it grand you look,
Like bride in your rich adjoining!
And with an the pent-up love of my
heart
bid you the top of the morning.
This one short hour pays lavishly
For many Il year of mourning.
Sure, I'd almost venture another flight,
There's so much JOY in returning.
Watching out for the hallowed shore,
All other attractions scorning.
OH, Ireland. can't you hear me shout
bid you the top of the morning.
Oh. kindly, generous Irish land,
SO leal. so fair, so loving,
No wonder the wandering Celt should
pause
And dream of thee in his rowing!
The western home may have gems and
gold;
Shadows may never have glooned it,
But the heart will fly to that absent
Where the love light first illumed it.
See, see, upon Cleena's shelving strand
The surges are grandly beating,
And Kerry is pushing her headlands
out
To give us the kindly greeting.
Into the shore the sea birds fly
On pinions that know no dropping,
And out from the cliffs a million of
waves
With welcomes charged come troop
ing.
And doesn't old Cove look charming
there
Watching the wild waves motion.
Leaning her back up against the hill,
With the top of her toes i'll the
ocean?
And l wonder 1 don't hear sllandon'S
bells;
-All may be their chinlings over.
For tits many Il. year since began
The life of Il western rover.
For thirty years, Il stor me chree.
These hills / now feast my eyes on
Ne'er met my vision save when they
Over meaory's dim horizon.
Even SO twas grand and f;ll. they
secncd
In the landscape spread before me;
But dreams are dreams. And my eyes
would onc
To find Texas skies still DER me.
And often upon the Texas plains,
When the day and the chase were
over.
My thoughts would fly over the weary
waves
And around the coast line hover,
And the prayer would rise that some
future day,
All dangers and dOubterS ScOrlrlg

The light of young libertys morning

Thank God that my eXile's ended.

Kentucky Tales.

Anold lawyer here tells Of two anus
ing things which, he alleges, occurred
in Kentucky many years ago. On one
occasion a wealthy man died, leaving
a fortune, and the heirs became so dis
satisfied with his will that they went
to court to break it. One witness was
called who furnished fun for the crowd.
In giving his testimony he stated that
the deceased did not wish to make a
will because of a dream he had had.
He was intensely superstitious, and
this vision rather dampened his enthu-
siasm with regard to making a will.
"And pray" asked one of the lawyers,
what was this remarkable dream
your friend had?"
"Well, SIR" replied the witness, che
dreamed that he made u will, and jus
as he signed it he saw a lawyer COM
ing in the room with big bag to take
all his money away"
At another important trial which
kept things lively a witness was vain,
cOnceited woman, who fancied she
could teach the lawyers a thing or two.
While one of them was cross xamin-
ing her she became very saucy, grimm
ed at her husband, who sat in sight,
and remarked tartly: Mr.. Blank, you
needn't worry me with them questions;
you just can't cotch me-"
Madam" said the lawyer; heaven
knows l don't want to cotch you, and
your husband looks like he was sorry
he ever did"
She was swept up and carefully re-
moved from the charlottesville

Hauling Barnyari Manure.

Farmers who try to keep an account
of the cost of their crops often charge
the crop with barnyard manure made
on the farm at the same price manure
would cost if bought at a stable, and
then Id cost of men and teams in
drawing it out. They seldom stop to
think whether it is more or less valua-
bic, because of the food given and bed
ding used than that they would buy.
and still less do they consider that if
their manure. as a waste product,
could not be used to promote plant
growth, they would be obliged to draw
it away as a nuisance, or as Western
farmers used to do, move the Earn
away from the manure heap.

In reply to some criticism of his
views about Russian apples. Prof.
Hansen, of South Dakota, says in the
Country Gentleman: The facts are
that in the sections of the Northwest
where the American varieties fail the
Russian varieties as class have
proved superior in hardness and that is
the first essential. In more favored
regions where American varieties are
a commercial success l would say, Let
well enough alone In time we hope to
combine the high quality and long
keeping capacity of our best American
winter varieties with the hardness and
freedom from scab of the hardest Rus
sian sorts, but this work of crossing
will demand patience and considerable
time. The fact remains that the Mime
sofa State Horticultural Society only
recommends three varieties as of the
first degree of hardiness-viZ.: Hiber-
nal Duchess and Charlamoff. (The
name 'Oldenburg' has not been adopted
by this society, as the old name,
Duchess is SO well established in Min
nesota that the change would only
cause confusion). Four other varieties
are recommended as of the second de-
gree of hardness and of these two are
American and two Russian OF the thir-
teen recommended for trial at least
three are Western seedlings of Ouch
ess, three are American seedlings and
seven are Russian. Neither class of APP
pies needs defenders. Leave it to a
vote of the fruitmen in each locality.
1t is simply a question OF locality"

Cd at great length in committee, most of
the speeches being made by the lobbyists

Mr.. Lenroot, in the committee, consent
ed to an amendment to his bill providing
that the measure should not apply to
Milwaukee, and in that form it was re-
ported to the Assembly, which promptly
struck out the clause emitting Milwau-

day night and neither finished its calen-

Telephones in Russia .

The growth of the telephone system
in Russia is now considerable, although
it has been slow as compared with 9th
err countries. According 10 some recent
statistics there were in Russia an ag-
gregate Of some thirty-five thousand
miles of telephone wires about half of
which is state and half private con-
Germs. The use of the telephone and
the number of subscribers are, how
ever. rapidly increasing, and some i'm
portant lines between some of the
larger cities are under contemplation
or already completed. In the Baltic
provinces there are some large tele-
phone systems, but they do not appear
TO be altogether satisfactorily con-
structed. inasmuch as the different
lines, which are frequently Of consid-
cradle length, have no connection with
each other This is attributable main
IL to government restrictions where
state telephones already exist

Agricultural Col1ercs


The increased number of students
that have been reported at most of
the agricultural colleges is not so much
an indication of a more prosperous con-
>dition of the farmers. enabling them to
send their sons to the college, as it is
of the fact that they are better recog-
nizing the value of the practical knowl-
edge that they can there obtain of the
best methods of handling all or some
of the various branches of agriculture
and horticulture. And it is in part due
to the managers of those same colleges
having lately paid more attention to
teaching in these special branches. 1t
may not he that they have in any way
lessened their requirements in other
studies, but they have begun to under
stand that those who have chosen the
agricultural college instead of the
many which are not classed under that
name. have done so because they want
ed or We're desired by those who sent
them there, to learn that which will fit
them for farmers life rather than for
a professional life. And those which
are the most prosperous to-day are
those which first learned this lesson
and profted by it.

never be safe for driving or saddle use.
Another frightfully cruel. injurious
and inexcusabIe act is to kick a horse
in its belly.
No man with the least intelligence or
common sense will do it.
Every farm should have at least one
or two large box stalls to use for hosDi
tai purposes. No sick horse should
ever be tied by the head.
These hospital stalls should be in q
detached building and kept disinfected
and ready for use at any time. There
should also be some means of heating
in severe cold weather.
The saving of even one horse with
pneumonia by Keeping the temperature
even and comfortable would more than
repay the expense for years.
If q horse is inclined to stock up in a

Best Ever Shown in Northern Wiscon-

This has been the finest logging season
over known in northern Wisconsin or

been phenomenal and unusually prosper
Gus times are expected this spring. All
the small jobbers have been doing splen-

up now, but the great majority of them

is right. The small jobbers are anxious
to remain in the woods until April 1.
There has been good, strong demand

Gus. NJ. NJ. Darr, for the Eastern Lum-
Der Company of Tonawanda, bought p
100000 feet of selects and better from
the Bay Shore Lumber Company and
100000 feet of the same stock from the

deals involve 4 consideration of about
$4,000 and is all of the best lumber
which these two concerns will make this
coming season.

Native Grasses.

We believe more attention should be
paid to our native pasture grasses in
the Southwest. and that, instead of
blowing and narrowing, buying seed
and planting, and often waiting two or
more years for a pasture, we should
give the native grasses a chance. We
know of cases where q thorough scar
ification of the soil in February has
without any other effort doubled the
crop of grass. The fact that the ma
tive grasses have taken and held pos
session against all corners shows that
they are adapted to the conditions,
which may or may not be the case with
other grasses. Disking and cross disk
ing are about the thing. needed to give
these grasses new lease of life, and
in many cases it is necessary to their
preservation. Those who try this pro-
