Whose love enchains me sol Yet, once /

Twas but the passion of the egotist
Whose patriot zeal shut up within hls
breast,
Touched but his own, excluding all the
rest.
The world M country was?-W Words light
and rash!
How could | know that / would lay the
lash
One day upon myself, and pardon plead.
Who thong ght ranging love could meet

That heresy is blown awly, like chaff
Before the wind! And | could cry-or

For her who is the worlds protagonist

Wherewith deSpot loads million lives
Who fights till fallen States she will erect,
Give them her freedom, and the gift pro-

WAR AND LITERATURE.

Volumes might be written on the
effect that this war will have had on the
literature of civilization. What are the
horrors of Poe and Eugene Sue the
filth of Zoa. the tragedies of Shake
spcare when set against the lurid back
ground of what has happened and is
happening What writers in the future
shall dare to set their imaginings IN the
land of dreams against the stern and
weird realities of this time we live and
hght-in
1t has been SAID that if the war were
to end today and the literary account OF 1t
were to be made up now there might he
found grlst Of matter for the historian,
but little worth entering upon the imaglna
tive record Of mankind From any such
dictum there must be instant dissent.
Every change in literature comes, quite
naturally. from a change in national
thought, and surely no time in the world $
history not even q revolution, the dying
out ol medieval customs, renaissance III
art or religion has been so fruitful of a
change in mode of thought as this The
artist in literature may well be the crea-
ture Of peaceful times-times when quiet
villages and purling streams, dignlfcd
mountains and green wales may appca! to
the Splrlt put the artisan III HtcTatuFc
has something in him Of the artist, too,
and these men who come back from the
hell Of the front line trenches, though
in many instances they have had no
practice in the tools Of literature will
have awakened within them that tense
and arden, desire to tell what they have
seen. They will give voice to what they
have suffered and what they have seen
others suffer. The books that this war
brings forth will in very truth be his
torcal documents stamped with the
utmost honesty of purpose and binding
ear-through all the mists Of blood and
horror understanding There will
come a literature that will endure

PASTURES SAVE GRAIN FEEDS

From the results of many feeding
trials with hogs 10 pounds of gain for
each bushel of corn fed or l pound of
gain for every Sc pounds of corn is
all that should be expected from feed
ing corn alone in a dry lot. A mix
ture of one part tankage and 8 parts
corn gives much better results usually
producing / pound of gain for every
AS pounds of mixture fed.
The quantity of grain needed to
produce a pound of gain is consider
ably lessened if the hogs have access
to green forage. Corn fed to grow
ing shotes on rape should produce l
pound of gain for every 1857 pounds
of grain fed. The addition of some
hip hly concentrated feed such as tank
age meat meal shorts or linseed meal
should reduce one-half to three
fourths of a pound the quantity of
grain necessary to produce pound of
gain.
