ERAL MOURNING.

Last Thursday was a day OF general
mourning In Ellsworth and one OF the
most impressive days In its history. The
banks, postoffice and stores were closed
all day, and Sunday stiffness prevailed.
The toIling Of the church bells from to
2 O'Clock added to the impressiveness OF
the day.
Members OF the Grand Army post
assembled at their hail at 100, and
marched to the Congregational church,
where exercises were held. The church
was well filed.
The decorations OF the church were
most tastefully arranged. The pulpit and
altar were draped in mourning. In front
Of the pulpit was 3 large picture OF
Mckinley In frame of black and white.
At the left were smaller pictures OF Lin
coin and Garfield, our other martyred
Presidents. The services were conducted
by Rev J. M. Adams, OF the CoDgre-
gstional church, Revs. J. P. Simonton, OF
the Methodist church, and A. III. Coar, OF
the Unitarian church, assisting. The Els

before It swept me away to jbin some
other current, I took to the water.
I edged in, so as to swim with the
least possible effort. and though I was
taken past the outmost fringe Of the
island, I came into slack water, and
seeing an opening in the reef, I made
for 1t. Striking out more vigorously, I
passed through, and just as I was al
o tired iout I touched bottom, n
weding in and stumbling over the
beach, I threw myself down, utterly ex-
hausted, on. the greensward.
But the Sangs of thirst gave me no
rest, and, looking around, I saw a white
ribbon of spray falling from a high
rock. So lofty was the point from
which 1t descended hat what had been
a considerable volume of swiftly-rolI-
ing water became no more than a mist
that swayed from side in the gentle
breeze; so. fastening towards 1t, I lay
on the ~moss-covered stones and uclked
up the moisture with my parched lips.
And here I was come to n of the
Fiji islands-for such I deemed tito be
from what the captain had said-nearly
as naked as the day I was born, AID,
apparently, as far from helping my
father as though I had stayed in Eng
land. And then I remembered that God
had spared my life, and that while
there is life there is hone, and for this
one great mercy I sank on h grass
and thanked my Creator.

The Missouri State Agricultural Col
lege is to give this winter a course in
horticulture. The term will begin Jan.
and will close March %. This course.
running parallel with the short course
in agriculture, is intended to give
thorough acquaintance with all the
practical details in connection with the
establishment and running OF nur-
sery, commercial orchard, vegetable
garden or a flower establishment-in
short, to make professional horticul-
turists. The course consists of ZIG
lectures and practical demonstrations,
divided as follows:
Nursery Work.-A study of grating,
budding. growing, grading and pack
ing OF nursery stock. including
eighteen afternoons in the grating
shop under the personal supervision
of an experienced and successful nur-
seryman. The am is to give skill in
these various operations.
Orcharding and Small Fruit Grow
ing.-Treating of soils and locations
adapted to the different kinds of fruit;
varieties to plant; methods OF plant
ing, pruning and cultivating~orchards
the harvesting, barreiing and market
ing of the fruit. Daily practice Is
given in each of these operations, un-
der the supervision of an experienced
orchardist- The nursery and orchard
work will be given in January and
February.
Market Gardening and Hot-Bed
Forcing-Covering the entire range of
vegetable growing both outdoors and
under glass. Daily practice will be
given in the management of bot-beds,
cold frames and green houses devoted
to the +; production of vegetables
Courses will be given also in 1oricul-
ture and landscape gardening.
Plant Diseases.-Twenry lectures on
the nature of the destructive diseases
of fruits anas=shes hest.methods OF pre-
venting such attacks. Ample practice
will be given in the mixing, testing
and applying Of spraying solutions.
Entomology.-Sixty lectures and
demonstrations will be given on the
habits of the numerous insects that
bear an import relation to horticul-
ture, and the best methods of combat
ing the injurious ones.
Students in the course in horticul-
ture will have the same training in
botany, carpentry, blacksmithing.
drainage, manures and fertilizers,
bookkeeping, ETC.. as will those who
take the agricultural course, and will
have an additional course in steam
heating and steam fitting for green
houses.
Requirements for Admission.-No
entrance examination or special prep
aration is required. Any intelligent
person with common school education
will be able to pursue either course
with great profit. The cost is from
$40 to $50 per term.

Fx.mIninr Our Soils.

The national government has un-
dertaken good work in the soil sur
vey. To a great extent Americans
have had to conduct their farming
operations blindly as to the kind of
soil in which they had to operate.
They have been able to name their
soils only according to the clay or
sand content mostly and had to as
sumo that a sandy soil in one place
well filled with humus was equal to a
sandy soil Ia another place we'll filed
with humus- As a result many an ex-
tensive operation in farming has
proved failure in one place when it
would have proved a success in an
other place. The movement to sur
vey the soils of the whole country
means that the whole system of agri-
culture is to be placed on a firmer and
more scientific basis. In a recent re-
port the government ofhcia1s show
that this work is done at a cost of
only $1--0 per square mile. The bene-s
fits to be derived are incalculabla

Insect DESTROYING Birds.

Birds are fast livers. Their activi-
ties are immense: their hearts beat
twice as fast as those of man: the
temperature Of their blood would be
to us fever heat. To support such
vitality a relatively enormous amount
of food is required; and this too of
the most nutritious kinds, such as
grain, seed or animals. Even a great
er amount than is consumed by the
adult is needed by the young, for while
in the nest the rate of growth is very
great. AS an example of this we may
take some recently published observa-
tions on the growth of nest OF young
song-sparrows, each day the brood
was carefully weighed and the increase
noted. During the first day the aver
age gain in weight of the nestlings
was forty-eight per cent, and in six
days their weight was very nearly
treb,ed. Such growth needed indeed
the constant attention of the parent
birds, who, on an average, visited the
nest at intervals of from two to five
minutes from daybreak till dark Take
our fifty-four million pairs of breed
ing birds within the state of Illinois,
say that one-third of these have young
at any one time, let the parents visit
the nest with food every five minutes;
the basis we take is conservative
enough, yet it means thirty-four hum
dred million meals furnished to the
infant birds of the state each day dur
ing the breeding season.
Professor Treadwell has recorded
the case of a young robin that ne kept
in confinement and fed on earth
worms. The weight of the bird was
taken each day and also that of the
food consumed. He found that it lost
in weight though he increased the
daily allowance from ten to fifteen,
twenty-four, twenty-five and thirty
worms; it was not until the fourteenth
day when he gave it sixty-eight worms
weighing thirty-four pennyweights
that the bird throve and increased In
bulk. On that day the bird itself
weighed twenty-four pennyweights, SO
that it consumed forty-one per cent
more than it's own weight in twelve
hours
The amount of food that has to be
supplied by the old birds might well
inspire human parents with horror
and CONSERVATION. Yet SO rapid is the
growth of the nesting, so intense the
vital fire within its little body. that it
is evident even this quantity would
not suffice unless it were of the most
nutritious kinds. OF the more es-
sential food constituents. such as pro-
teids and carbohydrates, fruits con-
tain a very small proportion and these
substances must be sought elsewhere;
and hence the young birds food must

The Galloways.

The Galloway is one of the most
profitable of the beef breeds. Among
the points of value are early maturity
and high quality OF meat produced.
The usefulness of the Galloway in the
feed lot is beyond question, and the
ability to withstand hard conditions
is great For this reason the reports
of success with Galloways come to us
from the coldest regions Of Canada
and from the warmest sections of the
southwest. AS the buffalo has disap-
peared the Galloway has naturally in
herited the business OF producing
choice robes, and we predict that these
robes will be more and more in de-
mand as the years go by. 1t is ex-
tremely difficult to pick beef breed
that will be round superior in all
places, and we do not attempt to claim
any such superiority for the Galloway.
But the writer does claim that in a
very large number of cases the GAL
loway will be FOUND superior to most
of its rivals. - short shank and a
