Meredlth's style.

Meredith's style may be likened but
to the very tree of knowledge which,
according to the old narrative of Cy-
rano de Bergerac, grows in the garden
of the moon, Its fruit is covered with
rind which produces ignorance in
whomsoever hath tasted thereof; vet
this rind preserves underneath its
thickness all the spiritual virtues Of
this learned food.p Just so is it with
Meredith's wisdom. The first bite is
hard for the tooth, but within is a
learned food indeed, tasting of nothing
less than the knowledge Of good and
evil. 1t is not altogether pleasant, SUIT
wonderfully wholesome; and whose
ever pierces the rind becomes quicker
to note, keener to feel. and saner to
judge Of himself and his fellow man.--

The Resources Of Siberia.

Under Government encouragement
it is said that Siberia is gaining 20O,-
900 farmers per year. Among it's ex-
ports are cereals, butter, wool, leath-
er and dried and preserved meats.
Already this remote country, which
the popular imagination is apt to pic
ture as vast waste, the abode of
frost and snow and misery, is becom-
ing talked of as possible competitor
with the we'll known cereal producing
countries of the. world. A member of
the French Bureau of Foreign Com
merce estimates that, on the basis of
the present population of Russia in
Europe, Siberia can sustain 80,000,-
900 Inhabitants, although now it has
not one-tenth of that number. 1t
produces one-tenth of the worlds
yield of gold, but. owing to climatic
obstacles many Of its mines are not
worked, and It's immense coal deposits
have hardly been touched.

Feed For Poultry.

We are inclined to place corn at
the head of the list of grains, but to
feed all corn, unless the flock has UNI
limited range and needs but little
grain Of any kind, would cause egg
production to cease in short time.
Corn and plenty of green feed and "a
range rich in insects, make first
class egg food, but where the hens
are shut up, corn should not make
more than one-third the grain feed.
The remainder should be made up of
wheat, oats and bran in about equal
proportions, and most of the corn
that is fed during the year should be
given during the six cold months.
But diet of grain alone will not
stimulate egg production. With it
must be given other foods, such as
milk, meat scraps, crushed bone,
green cut bone, if it is to be had,
ground shells and plenty of green
feed in the shape of grass and other
green stuff in the summer, and raw
chopped vegetables in the winter.
1t is impossible to say how this
should be fed. Give little of each
kind often, and it will be found pref
ty hard to feed the bones so much
that they will get overfat. With all
the talk about overlooking hens, one
fact has been impressed upon us. It
is almost impossible to get a hen fat
while she is laying regularly. This
applies to all the non-sitting breeds
ana to the American class. 1t would
probably apply to the LangshanS- also.
The weight of evidence indicagts that
lack of variety is the principal cause
Of non-production of eggs in any
flock.

Nonsense verses.

A bright boy, four years old, has
an uncle who teaches him nonsense
verses" not unlike those with which
the late Edward Lear used to amuse
English children. The nephew went
to Sunday-school, and not long ago
his teacher was telling the class about
the busy bees, and asked if any of
the children could tell her anything
concerning them.
waldo can" spoke un the little
fellow.
"Well, Waldo, you may stand in
front and tell us what you know"
And Waldo, rising proudly, steamed
away with these lines:
How doth the little busy bee
Delight to bark and bite,
To gather honey all the day
And eat it up at night.
Trying to suppress a smile the
teacher asked: did your mother
teach you that?D
mo, my Uncle Arthur did"

Only a Small Favor.

A quiet, rliddle-ased man, who
was in attendance at an operate per-
Torrance was much annoyed at the
behavior of two young women in the
row of seats behind him.
Calling one of the ushers, he put
a coin in his hand and whispered
something in his ear
The usher went away, and present
ly came back and handed him a small
package.
When the curtain went down at the
close of the first act, he turned in his
seat and said with a smile to the
young woman directly behind him:
II beg your pardon, miss, but may
/ ask slight favor of your"
What is it?" she said.
"Please use this stick of gum in
place of the kind you are chewing.
The odor of wintergreen is very of
fensive to me-"
After that he was not disturbed.

AT the End Of the Chinese Wall
By w. z. CELL, F. r. G. s.

From the Inn of Increasing Right.
eousness we sent out three men to-
copy inscriptions at the Western Gate
Of the city and in the tube Of FORTH
cations to the west, while Mr Clark
and took mules and rode toward
the real end of the Great Wall, which
is not at Kiayukwan itself, but at
point fifteen Ii southwest of 1t. DUR
ing the journey thither no human be-
ing crossed our path, and there was
not a house in sight the whole way.
Five antelopes were the principal sign
of life, as they hurried out of sight,
and lizards, magpies and Crows
OF which there were some to be
seen at the start-soon disappeared.
There was nothing to attract the eye
beyond whirling spirals of sand and
tufts Of brown sage-brush, while the
whole landscape was earth-color, save
that on the lofty southern mountains
there lay, as ever, the snow. The
monotony would have. been without
relief but for the presence on the
scene of the ruin whose end we were
seeking-the ruin of the most stu
pendous achievement in Asia.
When at last we reached the actual
termination of the Wall, surprise
was In store for us. The construction
does not abut the southern noun
tains, but stops short on precipice
sheer down 200 feet, as perpendicular
as If cut by engineers to plumbline.
Below flows the Big White North
River. My companion dropped a
stone, and counted eight pulse-beats
before he heard the splash in the
water below.
AS we stood alone here and unused,
the light fell upon a brick-encased
stone tablet, to see which we had
travelled so far-a tablet erected long,
long ago to mark the western end of
that Great Wall, the. stupendous
achievement of the mighty Emperor
Chin. 1t bears simple message in
large ideographs, the purport of
which is this, "The Martial Barrier of
All Under Heaven. -Harper's Mag

MANAGEMENT Of Ducks.

ANY calculation as to the return
to be expected by those who keep
ducks, says an experienced breeder,
depends entirely upon the possession
Of suitable locality, They are most
likely to be kept with profit when,
access is allowed them to an adioinH
ing marsh, where they are able I'm
great measure to provide for Their
selves; for if wholly dependent upo8
the breeder for their living, they hav@
such ravenous appetites that thew
would soon, to use an emphatic ex-l
preston, eat their heads off. No de-
scription of poultry, in fact, will de-
YOUR SO much, or feed so greedily.
The excursions allowed them must be
limited to short distances, or other
wise they will gradually learn to abb
sent themselves altogether, and ac-
quire rather wild habits, so that when
they are required to- be put up for
breeding or immediate sale, they are
often found missing, and difficult to
find.
Ducks too early allowed their lib
erty on large bodies of water, are ex-
posed to so many enemies, both by
land and water, that few reach their
majority; and, even if some are thus
fortunate, they are not disposed af-
terward to return to the farmyard
and submit quietly to regular habits.
They may be kept in health in small
enclosures, by a good system of man
agement, though we fear with very
little, if any, profit, which is the point
to which all advice must tend. There
is no doubt that ducks may be made
profitable as egg producers, but the
quality of their eggs, and the extra
labor required to obtain them (for
unless they are got up every night
many of them will not be found),
will not allow them to compete with
the hen in that capacity. Also, a
duck lays when eggs are most plenti-
full, while hens eggs must be pro.
cured at all seasons"

strous tree growing near the city Of

Pasture For sows.

The sows need plenty Of pasture,
first of all, clover, alfalfa, cowpeas,
soy beans or rape if possible, in addi-
ton to the grass. Then they should
have a rather heterogeneous grain ra-
ton. Mill feeds are probably the
best, as they do not tend to consti-
pate. Some corn may be fed on the
ear After narrowing feed for two
or three days principally on milk or
bran slops with little corn and
plenty Of green stuff.

FEEDING SUGAR BEETS
Evil Effect from Tops after Having
Been Frozen

Numerous reports have come in
of late of serious sickness aud
death in animals that have been
pasturing in the fields and eating
of sugar beet tops. When sugar
beet tops are fresh and when not
used exclusively for feed, there is
no objection to them. The trouble
in this case has been that they
were frozen during the cold spell.
and then after thawing became
covered with mould, or underwent
partial decomposition, and were
eaten by animals with disastrous
results.
Paralytic symptoms have often
been seen in animals fed almost
exclusively upon sugar beets, or
sugar beet tops. Meat inspectors
at the slaughter houses report that
cattle fed large quantities of sugar
beets show mucous membrane OF
the stomach and bowels of dark
color. soft and easily torn from the
muscular wall After several years
of observation of the feeding of
sugar beets, | am satisfied that
neither the beets nor the beet tops
should be fed without at least an
equal proportion of hay or some
other forage, and that beets or
their tops that have been frozen
and then thawed out are not only
injurious but dangerous at all
times.
