Doors can also be placed under the

Generally, however, the corn can best
be carried in by the basketful through

dumped where wanted. The crib, un-
less very large, should always be filled
solidly from the rear to the door; If un-

THE HAVEN OF DREAMS,
NARY X. BUCK IN CHICAGO 1yrKR-ocEAS.

MARY X. BUCK IN CHICAGO ISTKR-ocEAS.
When the weary day with its toll is o'el
And darkness broods over earth once
more,
We gladly slip through the gates of night
And sail for a mystical shore.
In the soft-winged shallop of sleep we glide
Ger silent sea with a rhythmic tide,
That lulls to rest each throbbing woe
Our aching hearts may hide.
And though from afar no beacon CLEANS,
Nor mariners star sheds its guiding beams
Yet ever the unseen ships go by
Seeking the haven of dreams.
And when we've entered that haven fair
The wonders untold that await us there
Back in the meadows of childhood we
roam,
Basbing again in the lovelight of home.
The dear ones we've lost are with us once
more,
Just as we knew them and loved them of
yore;
And none ever doubts all is not as it seems
While we linger entranced in the haven OF
dreams.
So it seemeth to me that some shadowy
night
When death draws the curtain we'll slip
out of sight,
And sail in shallop like that we call sleep.
To a wonderful land where no eyes ever
weep,
And the haven of dreams lieth white.

The Question of Breeds.

There are certain characteristics that
constitute the good, the best, or the
ideal horse. 1t will be conceded by all
that the horse deficient in such charac-
teristics is not the best or the ideal
horse, no matter what his breed is. If
there is one breed that may be depend.
ed upon to yield more of such horses
than another then that breed would be
adjudged to be the best Of the two.
But even that does not prove that one
should buy or breed to the horse only
because it is of that breed, for it might
be poor individual, and he might get
a much better horse of the breed de-
cided by the test named to be the infe-
rior one. The discussion referred to
should be made along the line suggest
ed, and If it can be shown that one
breed is productive of more good
horses than the other, then to that ex-
tent it will be proven to be the best
breed, and to that extent only.
Breeding is yet too far from an exact
science to be depended upon entirely
as an assurance Of quality. The ideal
individual with 4 good ancestry, and
possessed of the prepotency that gener-
ations of line breeding imparts, is the
one that is the best while the poor in
dividual, with the same kind Of breed
ing is the worst imaginable. The truth
is that education and discussion should
be devoted to equipping horse breeders
to know good individual on sight,
and to know how to use it in reproduc-
tion.-Farm, Stock and Home.

An Excellent Corn Crib.

Corn, unless properly stored, is liable
to great damage by rats and mice,
while that which remains MAJ become

the utmost value where this crop is
raised, and for the generality Of locali
ties none are better than the one shown

lutely safe from the depredaticns Of all

Horses Preferred For Cuitivating.

Slow horses are sometimes preferred
for cultivating, but fast walking
horse does much more work in year
than the slower one. If horse travels
twenty miles a day, and another twen-
ty-five miles in the same time for every
working day in the year, the faster
horse will travel 1900 miles more than
the other. When working large field
4 horse may travel from fifteen to
twenty miles day. and a difference of
a mile or two, when several horses are
in use, is quite an item in week.
While attention has been given to the
breeding of fast trotters and runners,
there is room for improvement in the
walking gait of horses.

Pure Sunlight aud Air.

we have often heard of "Sunny
Italy" or the "clcar light" of Egypt,
says the Desert, but, believe me, there
is no sunlight there compared with
that which falls upon the upper peaks
of the Sierra Madre or the uninhabit-
able wastes of the Colorado desert.
Pure sunlight requires for its existence
purc air, and the Old World has little
of it left. When you are in Rome
again and stand upon that hill where
all good Romanists go at sunset, look
out and see how dense is the atmos-
phere between you and st. Peters
dome. That same thick air is all over
Europe, all around the Mediterranean,
even over in Mesopotamia and by the
banks Of the GanGes. 1t has been
breathed and burned and battle smoked
for 10000 years. Ride up and over the
high tablelands of Montana-one can
still ride there for days without seeing
trace of humanity-and how clear
and scentless, how absolutely intangi-
bic that sky blown. sunshot atmos-
phere! You breathe it without feeling
it. you see through it hundred miles,
and the picture is not blurred by it.
Once more ride over the enchanted me-
sas OF Arizona at sunrise or sunset,
with the ragged mountains OF Mexico
10 the south of you, and the broken
spurs Of the great Sierra round about
you, and all the glory of the Old shall
be as nothing to the gold and purple
and burning crimson of this New
World

The total annual export value of
United States meat-of which beer
forms the principal item-is in round
figures S1O0,0o0,0oo. If we add to this
the distributive sales of the various
packing establishments in the United
States for the domestic market as well,
we find that it reaches the enormous
total of 100000 carloads, valued at

One Of the secrets of keeping young.
vigorous and supple-jointed is to con-
tinue to practice the activities Of youth,
and to refuse to allow the mind to stiff
fen the muscles by its suggestion of
age limitations. If men like Peter
Cooper and William E. Gladstone, who
kept up the vitalizing exercises Of
robust manhood when far into the
eighties, had succumbed at forty to
the thought of approaching age, how
much of their valuable life-work would
have remained undone!-Success.

Locating an Apinry.

Where wild flowers and linden trees
locate an apiary. On the farm such
seeds as buckwheat and clover can be
sown and will yield a crop of honey be-
sides the usual crop they are intenk,
for. The bees will find any nectar pro-
ducing plants within radius of two
miles of the apiary. and sometimes
they will fly even further. Bees need
a great deal OF water during spring and
summer. especially in March and April !:
this is used TO dilute the thick rich
honey which has been left over the
winter and make 1t suitable for the
young larvae, so brook or stream
near by would be desirable, although
not specially necessary. The hives
should be placed southwark, or east
ward; n windhreak on the north and
west is great protection to the bees,

honeysuckles grown on an iron fence

to wait too long for results. A board
fence will answer the purpose il one
does not care too much for looks
Formerly tall trees near by were con-
sidered an Objectionable feature, for
sometimes the swarm would go out OF
reach of the apiarlst, but they are no
longer detriment to the beekeeper,

hives at swarming time, the queen
is trapped and the swarm win return

They were particularly aimed at New
England, whose people had gone eager
ly into commerce, but they were not
well enforced for many years. The
revenue officers were careless, or took
bribes to allow vessels to trade with
foreign countries, and thus most of the
Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Con-
necticut merchants were compelled to
be smugglers, and to engage in trade
that was forbidden by the law. About
100 years after the passage OF these
laws the attempt was made to enforce
them in earnest, and this helped greatly
to bring about the Revolution.
