THE CATTLE COUNTRY.

Up the dusk-enfolded prairie,
E3ot.falls soft aud sly;
Velv ,t-cushioned, wild and wary;
Then--the coyotes cry.
Rush OF hoofs. and roar and rattle;
Beasts Of blood and breed;
Twenty thousand frightened cat'lf;
Then-the wild stampede.
Phi mt, lasso, circling wider.
with the iran zied light;
Looping horse and coursing rider;
Plunging through the night.
Rim OF dawn, the darkness ~loosing.
Trail oiblackencd loan;
Perfume of sagebrush oozing
On the air like foam.
Foothills to the rockies lifting,
Brown. and blue. and green;
Warm, Alberta sunlight drifting,
over leagues between.
That's the country OF the ranges;
Plain, and prairie land:
And the God, who never changes,
Holds 1t in his hand.

If any one has asserted pre-
vious to the time that the eX-
hibit car was taken east last fall
that the black Hills could pro-
duce thirty-three varieties Of APP
pies, all matured, and that in
flavor and size and freedom
from defects no apples in any
portion of the United States
could excel them, Ishould have
considered him a fit subject for
the insane asylum. But seeing
ing is believing. All the six
counties were represented, and
while one or two may have ex-
celled in some varieties they
were all continued source Of
surprise, wonder and delight to
the many thousands who visited

handsome to the eye, it was the

Here are a few facts | have
cleaned from talking with a

tical orchardists. Number OF

tongue, laid down at any rail

The crops grown the first five
or six years, if conditions are
favorable, will not only pay for
the trees and the cultivation,
but will in addition in many in
stances pay a dividend on the
investment. AT the end Of five
years the trees, if given careful
cultivation, will average one
bushelt to the tree, on a basis OF
1000 trees, and in ten years
from the Of setting out from
five to nine bushels. One Of our
most successful apple-growers
states that some Of his trees
eighteen years old yielded as
much as sixteen bushels to the
tree this year; that from an or
chard Of ten acres, many of the
trees not bearing full crop, he
sold 1874 bushels at an average
price Of 1925 per bushel saved
enough for his own use, made
eight barrels of cider, sold 800
worth of cherries, plums and
pears, and cut from the same
ground eighteen tons of hay
which he sold for So per ton.
President Cook, Milton Brenn
and Joseph Wells assert that an
orchard at ten years after plant
ing, if given thorough cultiva-
ton, will pay ten per cent on
one thousand dollars an acre.
Joseph Wells, who gives the
figures on the product Of ten
acres, demonstrates that they
will pay ten per cent on So, 1000
an acre when in full bearing,
with only a partial crop. On a

About Star Points on Coins.

Few people, with the exception Of
coin collectors, notice such minor de-
tails, but it is a rather interesting fact
to note that on one side of some of
our coins the stars have five points,
as upon the flag, while on the other
side the stars have six" an official
Of the Washington mint recently re-
marked.
In English heraldry,' he contin-
ued, "a correct star had six or more
points-usually six When designs
for the first American coins were
made the heraldic usage was followed
and the stars given six points. The
flag of the nation was made up very
largely from the coat of arms of the
Washington family, in which, for
some reason, the stars have but five
points.
"On the diverse of our present
quarter and half dollar the stars, Is
in number, are six pointed while on
the reverse they are five pointed. This
difference is due to the fact that
the reverse of these coins is simply a
copy of the great seal of the United
States, except that the clouds are
omitted. On the great seal and on
the seal of the president the stars
are five pointed, while the seal of
the house Of representatives shows
six pointed stars"

FABLE OF THE PANSY.
Entire Family May Be Traced In Flow
er's Gay Petals.

Lovers of this pretty flower may be
interested in the fable concerning IL.
The blossom has five petals and five
sepals In most pansies, especially Of
the earlier and less highly developed
varieties. two of the petals are plain
In color and three are gay. The two
plain petals have a single sepal each,
and the third, which is the largest OF
all, has two sepals The fable is that
the pansy represents family, consist
ing of husband, wife and four daugh-
ters, two of the latter being step-chil
dren of the wife. The plain petals are
the step-children, with only one chair;
the two small gay petals are the
daughters, with a chair each, and the
large gay petal is the wife, with two
chairs. To find the father one must
strip away the petals until the stamens
and pistils are bare. They have a
fanciful resemblance to an old man
with flannel wrap round his neck, hts
shoulders appraised and his feet in a
bathtub. In France the pansy is uni
versally called the step-mother

ERRATIC OLD RIVER
MISSOURI HAS RECORD FOR DO
ING QUEER THINGS.
Owners Of Property Along It's Banks
Have No Excuse for Suffering
from Lack of Excitement
Case In Point.

There are rivers of all lengths and
sizes and all degrees of wetness.
There are. river with all sorts of pc
culiarities and with widely varying
claims TO fame. But there is only one
river with a personality, habits, dis
sipations, a sense of humor and
woman's caprice; a river that goes
travelling sidewise, that interferes in
politics, rearranges geography and
dabbles in real estate; a river that
plays hide and seek with you to-day
and tomorrow follows you around
like pet dog with a dynamite crack
er tied TO its tail That river is the
lean Magazine.
This thing happened in Kansas City
not many years ago: A party of men
owned a strip of land along the Mis-
souri, river bank. 1t was not hand
some land, but it was valuable for fac
tory purposes. They were offered
portly prices for it, but held on.
One day they noticed that the strip
was getting emaciated. They held a
hurried diagnosis with a surveyors
tape and found that half of it had
been washed away. The next year
half OF the remainder had gone.
The men wanted to sell then, but
the market seemed remarkably slug
gish. The next year the river ate SO
vigorously that only tiny strip about
as wide as piece of baby ribbon was
left The men were much depressed.
Suddenly the land began to in
! crease. The Missouri had chosen the
late manufacturing site for a place TO
deposit a fine 160-acre farm upon
which it had foreclosed up the river.
! Inside of six months that strip of
land contained 200 acres. The men
were jubilant but still they would
not sell.
They wanted another 100 acres
/ they said. They strolled along the
bank each day and urged the river
in proprietary tones, to build faster
/ Then the river changed it's mind
once more and not only wiped out the
extra 100 acres but the original 10G
/ acres, every foot of it. The next year
it built up 500 acres in the same spot
but they all belonged to the man who
/ owned the ground behind the original
/ plot. They have stayed there ever
since-that is, up to last reports. Foi
