Smnna vs.. Cattle.

In a pond near Hampstead Heath,
In England. a crowd of spectators
watched a pair of swans defeat dozen
cattle that had come down to wade
into the refreshing GOODNESS. The
swans objected and as if by precon-
certed signal moved upon the cattle.
Men have had occasion TO attest to
the power that is in a swans wings.
They strike blows that not only have
force but a great deal of accuracy in
delivery. The birds charged directly
at the heads Of the bullocks, slapping
right and LETT. The attack was furious.
Some attempt was made by the cattle
to resist, but inside of three minutes
they were in flight. half blinded by
the birds wings. They made no et-
fort to return, either. until the cow
herd near by came and drove the birds

I am proud to-day
Proud OF myself-I've won

No more than the poorest toiIer may:
I've gained no lofty place
That Others tried 10 take
I've won no thrilling rNe,
I've caused 10 foe 10 quake.
But where the crowd surged past
A man whom failure had dragged low
Stood lonely and GOWncast-
A little week ago
His fawning friends laughed at HIS poorest
jest
And praised him when they knew that he
could hear
But yesterday they pressed
Back through the throEg TO keep from

Not p!Jy!ngIy-EGy! met him as a man
Who had the Tigh- to stand
And face the world as boldly as they can

Put sOa3snds around the peach

Set out young fruit trees and plaAts
every year.
In transplanting DO manure should
be placed in direct contact with the
roots.
The value of an orchard depends
very mucn on the proper selection of
the varieties.
Raspberry plants should be set out
at the very first favorable opportunity
in the spring.
The pear tree IS more liable TO dis
ease than any other fruit tree, uuIess
we except the peach.
In manuring the orchard remember
that the roots Of the trees extend as
far out as the branches.
All the fruit trees should be care
fully labeled, so that the owner may
know what he Possesses.
If the fruit trees need pruning. If
is easier 10 prune as soon as the ne

Unless needed for the purpose of
propagation il is best TO keep the

plants too many varieties makes a

Who's bred 10 iGleness.

A picture of distress.

He is indeed a man Of woe
Who hasn't learned 10 work.
