pull LIKE A soN-oF-A-aUN.

When your luck's ION the bum" and you
fear hat you've come
% The very last end of your rope
when your courage has fed and you
feel well-nigh dead,
And nave lost ambition and hope;
As you're swept In ashore where the Wild
breakers roar.
There is only one thing to be done
Dip your oars in the stream. then put on
extra steam.
And pull like a son-of-a-gun!
Don't wait for the crash that will send
you to smash.
Buckle in with "A will while there's times
You will never get out Of the current OF
doubt
BY Imagining" all is sublime:
There are rapids ahead into which you'll
be led;
There are treacherous shoals you should
shun-
DIP your oars in the stream, then put on
extra steam,
And pull like a son-of-a-gun!
Don't float idly by when there's clouds In
the sky.
There's a duty for you to perform;
Tis a sign to beware. when the light
uiug's red glare
Announces the oncoming storm;
When the waves madly sweep DER the
treacherous deep,
And the dangerous journeys begun.
Dip your oars i'm the stream, then put on
extra steam.
And pull like a son-of-a-gun!
Il is easy to row when the current is
slow.
And the stream is all placid and still;
Then the waves are asleep, to sail Ger
the deep
Requires no nautical skill;
But once you are led in the pillows Of
dread,
The dangers have only begun
Dip your oars in the stream, then put on
extra steam,
And pull like a son-of-a-gun!
In the voyage of life, will its toll and its
strife.
You will meet with the waves of rebuff;
You will oftentimes sail. in a financial
gale.
Through a channel hiatt rocky and
rough.
If in safety you'll land on the silvery
strand,
With a joy that the voyage Is won,
Dip your oars in the stream, then put on
extra steam, B.

Pacific Cnnst Lumber.

With the disappearance of the pine
orests CT Michigan, Wisconsin and Min
nesota big forests of Oregon and Wash
ington are beginning to be drawn upon
to supply the demand for lumber in the
central West for S21 to $22 per thou
sand feet by the carload. or at a price
which brings it into competition with
the product of the northern pincries.
This coast lumber sells at the mills for
81 to SIS per thousand feet, and the
freight is about $14 per thousand feet.
The great benefit of the reduced rates
from the coast is thus easily seen, and
il is likely to materialize before long.

Pate De Foie JGras.

The above is the name of a high
priced delicacy much affected by the
so called epicurean rich, and what is
it? A matured goose is shut up in a
box so small that it can just stand up
right and stick its head through the
hole in the top. 1t is then fed the most
concentrated foods highly seasoned with
condiments. This feeding is done for
chilly. the food being forced down the
gullet of the bird with a stick made for
that purpose, Soon after this treatment
begins the liver of the bird becomes en-
larged and diseased and keeps on grow
ing in size until it will weigh as much
as the liver of a good sized calf. The
bird is kept until it is just ready to
die, when it is killed and the liver
taken and given special secret treatment,
when it is packed in jars and gold la
beled and then passes through the usu-
al channels of trade to the epicurean
consumer. These diseased livers bring
the producer. the small farmers of Al
satia, from 81 to 81 apiece, and the more
diseased the goose which produced them
the higher price they bring. Now, il

Profits OF lmDe
At a late meeting of the Southwestern
Horticultural Society of Iowa a gentle
man of good reputation made the fol-
lowing statement with reference to the
profits of timber culture on the west
ern prairies: Twenty years ago he
planted a row of cottonwood slips four
feet apart half a mile along the highway
fronting his farm. The trees grew tall
and thrifty, and as they attained large
size drew upon his farm field adjoining
for a width of three rods, occupying
thus about three acres of land. Last
fall and winter all but 100 of the trees
were cut, and from them were made 81
900 feet, board measure, Of serviceable
lumber and $50 cords of wood. The lum-
Der sold for SIS per thousand and the
wood was worth 1925 per cord, or a
cash value for the timber grown on
these three acres of $1,042, or $347.50 per
acre, or an annual income of $17.37 per
acre for each of the 20 years. 1t should
be stated in this connection that these
trees grew upon the loose soil OF the
Missouri slope, a soil wherein the cot
tonwood tree finds its most perfect de.
velopment, and we do not believe the
above record could be duplicated upon
the average prairie soils of the West.

The worlds sugar supply is very
large and is constantly increasing. Mod
ern methods of culture and manufac-
ture applied to the sugar cane and the
sugar beet are revolutionizing this in
dustry. Once put Yankee brains and
machinery in conjunction with the SUI
gar producing soil of Cuba, Porto Rico
and the Philippines in cane culture and
manufacture and with the vast irrigat-
able sections of the desert west of our
own country in beet culture and Amer
lea need not depend for a single pound
of the vast quantity of sugar which it
consumes upon any foreign nation.
