To see the hills Of home.

Above the grimy roofs,
Far from the paVeme nt's noise and heat
Far from changing hoofs.

And then l stretch my arms, ard Year,

One hill more green and high than all.

There stands a. house. and voices call
A weary little one.
There by the lamp my mother sits,
Ny father reads hiS book,
My little sister plays or knits,
Ny dog is in his nook.
Amid the oaks, with pleasant caves
The house stands, white, secure.
Its form is hidden by the leaves,
Yet it is there, I'm sure!
Some day this door shall open vice
And forth my feet shall go
TO find the house the branches hide.
That all my heart shall know;
To find the dwelling marvellous
My dreams have made so fair
For though I cannot see the house,
I know the house Is there!

Narrowing ON Wet Ground

Ground should not be narrowed
when it is too wet. Only the skilful
farmer can tell when it is too wet.
One farmer follows the practice of
taking a handful of soil and work
ing 1t into ball. If the ball holds
together he considers the soil too wet
to be worked. The narrowing should
be done: when there is sufficient mois-
ture in it to keep it from being very
hard on the surface, but should also
be dry enough so that when narrowed
the particles of soil will fall away
from each other. The time during
which ground is just right for har-
rowing is of short duration. This is
especially true of clayey land. On
sandy soil there is little trouble in
narrowing at any time, especially if
the soil be very sandy.-Farmers' Re-
view.

out of their crop all that is possible
'and that this only can be done by
making use of the bi-products of the

ISOLATION of Beet Culturists and
Sugar Manufacturers, offered a prize
OF $3.50 for the best process for
drying beet leaves and the trimmings
of the beet, taken off before it is
ground in the process of making
sugar, to preserve them for cattle
food. American farmers must learn
that the profits in their business, as
in all others, are largely made from
the waste or bi-products.

ORDER OF THE RED EAGLE.
Something About the German Order
Recently Bestowed by Emper-
or William on Americans.

In view of the numerous decora.
tions conferred on Americans, it will
be OF interest to learn something
about the history of the particular
orders bestowed. The Order of the
Red Eagle, which many Americans re-
ceived, was originally established in
17o5 by the hereditary prince of
George Wilhelm of Branderburg-
Anspach, under the name "Ordre de
la Sincerite' and Order of the Red
Eagle. When in 1901 the markgrave.
dom became part of Prussia, the
Order of the Red Eagle was alsu~ TAX
en- over by the state. King Fried
rich Wilhelm II. made it the second
order of Importance of the kingdom.
Friedrich Wilhelm III. in 1918
changed the statutes and also the
signs of the order. Under Friedrich
Wilhelm Nv. and the late King Will
helm, whom his grandson calls the
great, the statutes were also extend.
ed. The order consists of five classes.
which are: Grand cross, first class.
second class with star and without
starr, third and fourth class; be-
sides these classes, a large number
of gradations and variations exist,
says an eastern exchange.
The decorations of the grand cross
consist of large eight-pointed white
St. Johns cross with gold setting.
The crosses of the first, second and
third class, which differ only in size,
nnrcScf 0f ~
cross, inlaid with gold, white gold
shield in the middle shows in front
a crowned red eagle bearing a green
wreath in his talons. The cross of
the fourth class has the same form,
the arms of the same, however, are
not enameled but of silver, only the
middle shield is enameled and like
the other classes.
An order which many of the Amer
leans received is the royal crown or
der, the youngest order of Prussia.
It was established in 1861 by King
Wilhelm of Prussia, when in com
memoration of his coronation, The
order is of the same rank as the Or
der of the Red Eagle, and also divid-
ed into four classes. The decora-
ton consists of a plain white enam-
eled cross, having a double golden
setting. The middle shield has in
front a golden crown surrounded by
a blue enameled crown, bearing the
inscription, "God with us;'' on the
back is the name of the royal found
err, w. R., and the date of the found
ing of the order, October 10, 1861.
The orders of the first, second and
| third class differ only in size, while
| the order of the fourth class is not
enameled, and consists of simple
golden cross.

To Relieve a Chokcd Cow

orchard with fallen apples - bad
place for cows. One cow became badly

CREASED this with lard, held the cows
head up, and showed the hose down
her throat, pushing the apple down
into the stomach. A piece of rubber
hose is just the thing for this purpose,
being flexible and soft, yet stiff
enough for the purpose. Hogs are
better for the orchard than cows. A

:-the English enjoy the monopoly of Ca
nary commerce and bring at least two
I thirds of all the imports to the islands.
Formerly wine was the leading article
OF export; but now cochineal is ahead.
The literary student will remember
hare Ben Jonson's 'Pipe of Canary"
meaning the wine of these islands. to
which the poet-laureate was most ad-
dlcted. His intrigues to secure the adj

BY the way, in the minds of most
people these islands are associated with
Canary seed and the little yellow birds
that make music in our homes. AS a
matter of fact the feathered songsters
never had any relatives in this archi-
pelago; and while the grass that pro-
duces their favorite food grows wild
here, as in most semi-tropical islands,
it is also indigenous to many other parts
of the world. The name, Canaries, was
bestowed by the Romans nearly two
thousand yea, ago, the word referring
to CAMS, dogs; because under Roman
rule mastiffs of unusual size and
ferceness were bred on these remote
islands, to serve as house guards in the
Imperial city, and at Carthage, Utica,
and other Roman possessions in A frica
