Romance of the Fur Trade.

No more fascinating Romance of
Trade exists than the efforts of an
army of adventures in the waste
places, charged with the annual fur
production Of the world, which now
amounts to $25,OOOOO0. Here is the
Oldest Industry known to man. and one
beyond the reach of any trust since
any lonely trapper can throw his pelts
on the market at his own price. So
writes VIM. G. FITZGERALD in the
Technical World Magazine.
I will remark in passing that the fur
hunters have probably done more
world-exploring than any other tray-
elers. 1t was the little beaver that
lured men from the st. Lawrence To
the Mississippi, and thence to the
Rockies. Again 1t was the sable that
led the tribesmen of Asiatlc Russia
across to far kamchatka; and the big
sea otter lured the Spanish and the
English, with Russians and Americans
all round the world In crazy craft. ex.
ploring our Pacific coast from Alasko
to California.
To-day Canada alone produces over
100000 worth of furs every wear
and to this Alaska now adds $4,000
of raw pelts. and Labrador probably
half this amount. Until decade or
SO ago the Prybiloffs and other seal
Islands sent out S2,50O,OOO worth of
skins ANNUALLY; and then of course we

From my experience and observa-

would feed young cattle, fattening and

DAWN IN THE COUNTRY.

The sun Is lifting up Its head
And nodling to the world;
The morning glory's left its bed,
Its petals pink unfurled.
Dawn chased away the will-o'-wisp;
The owls no longer see;
The bird-notes float out clear and GIRLS
From yonder willow tree.
The brook is ripping fresh and bright
Along the deep ravine,
Past violets blue and violets white,
Past ferns and grasses green;
The dew has left the clover sweet
Where bees begin to hum;
And to the peoples In the wheat
The butterflies have come.
So waken, ere the scene is gone,
Refresh your weary eyes
Upon the beauties of the dawn
Meath summers country skies.

In Farmers Bulletin No. 1877, United

G. Elliott gives an interesting resume
Of the advantages OF removing water
downward through the soil instead OF
allowing it to run of over the surface.
They may be briefly stated as fol-
lows:
The surface soil is retained entire
instead of the finest and most fertile
parts being carried OF with every con
siderable rainfall.
Any plant food in manure or other
fertilizer deposited upon the soil Is
carried into 1t with the water as II
percolates downward from the surface,
and 30 becomes thoroughly incorporated

Rainwater us 1t passes through the
soil serves a most useful purpose by
dissolying and preparing crude soil ma
terlal for the nutrition of plants.
The soil having been we'll prepared,
is at all times during the growing sea-

Resolved, That we urge upon the

Speaker Cannon, who rules the Repub-

Industry needs that the tariff be re

any general reduction of the tariff will
be made "after election" If the Repub-
