Song of this Reel.

There's music in the whispen OF the
gentle summer breeze,
that woos the slumbering melody from
all the forest trees;
There's music in the ripple of the
| crystal mountain stream.
rha. haunts the soul of memory like
some forgotten dream.
Eod,s very sunshine seems to trill q
| glorious symphony,
As when with note discordant, shrill,
the reel goes, Zee! zee! -ee!-ee!
And then all nature seems to stop, as
tho a master hand,
Had waved aloft a magic wand to still
some monster band
Mute are the bees, the nodding trees
bend low to catch the sound,
And all the voices Of the wood in that
one note are drowned.
Fhe warbling bird. ro longer heard in
joyous Jubilee,
Pays tribute to his rival when the reel
/ goes Zee! zee! zee!
kee!-ee zee!-ee! All! note so free
that fills the anglers soul
with joy such as no mortal felt who
never handled pole;
however knew the ecstacy, the quiv-
Ering delight,
De equal conflict with such game as
cen the gods would fight!
keei zee! Zee! zee! All! tingling song
ne'er was such melody
As when with note discordant, shrill.

1T is true enough that men try to

ONE ROAD TO WEALTH.

(Chicagol Live Stock WORLDLY
Hogs are not selling at 7c, it is true,
but that is no reason for betting
against the industry.
1t will be noticed that whenever they
are purchasable around &c, packers
scramble for them, indicative that they
are worth the money.
Six cents at Chicago means SIC in
the country, a price that is attractive
to the grower. With steadily in
creasing consumption it is improbable
that good hogs will ever be worth less
than 51Sc at interior points
AS an assured avenue to a compe-
tency hog raising cannot be beat, but
the man who attempts it must know
how.
There is a right way to get in; also
wrong one.
Don't make the mistake of starting
with scrub stock, or if you have it,
holding on.
A drove of well-bred sows and a
good boar represent necessary capt.
tai. Be sure your hogs are fecund
breeders, hearty feeders and good
gamers. The wider you can stretch the
spread between cost of production and
selling price. the larger you will find
your profits.
If you are not already in the hog
business and contemplate doing so, be
sure you get in right. If you are al
ready in wrong reorganize. 1t will
pay.
The prospect for the intelligent hog
grower never was better. He will al
ways be kept busy making the most
economical meat the American people
can buy.
