Moonlight in the Fall

Something in the wild marsh,
Something in the lane,
Something on the white hill
Mystical as rain
Rain that is a mist blown,
and isn't mist at all
Moonlight of August
Upon the garden wall
Moon that is so elfin,
Soarin' round and free,
Golden on the hilltop,
Silver on the sea.
Makes the very fairies
And the fays and elves
Come to dance the moonbeam,
Shaking of themselves
Shaking and a SILVER
There beneath the bower
Of the starry woodmint,
Of the white moonfower-
Haunting moon of August
Pixie and so fay,
There above the wild hill
A thousand miles away
All the little silver bells,
Now they ring a tune,
Memories of the magic spells
That we heard in June
Memoried of the May wind
Now that summer seems
Lost amid the deep dells
Of the meadow dreams
Moon that is SO Wondrous,
Such a queen of light,
On the lofty ocean
OF the quiet night!

So live that when thy summons comes to join
The innurnerable caravan that moves
To the pale realms of shade where each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of death,
Thou go not like the quarry-slave at night
Scourged to his dungeon but sustained and soothed
BY unfaterng trust approach thy grave,
Like who wraps the drapery Of his couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams

HOW TO AID ALFALFA
TO GET THROUGH WINTER


Experiments at University
Farm have demonstrated that
winter killing of alfalfa may be
avoided in large degree by sowing
only certified Grimm seed, or
seed of another variety equally
hardy, and. in addition, by leav-
ing growth of approximately
four inches or more in the fall
to help hold the snow for win
ter protection.
A. c. Army, in charge of univer-
sity farm crops, says it is best to
stop cutting about the middle of
September. If pasturing is done
after that, it should be light so
as to leave generous growth for
protection from the winters cold.
Mr.. Army further says that
light pasturing in the fall is less
injurious than cutting for hay.
late in the autumn. Farm an
finals do not usually Craze alfalfa
down so closely and evenly as the
mower cuts it. consequently
more of a growth is left to retain

GOOD TO BE ALIVE

Gunnar Bjornson wrote last
week for the Mascot a "Cynic
Symphony as he sat on the crag
of floating cloud and viewed
the little ant hill, in the endless
universe, that we call the earth. I"
He noted the struggles of the
human race in its arrogance, its
pettishness and its restless on
ward drive. His thoughts were
akin to the famous Norwegian
poet when the latter at the uni
versity at which he studied was
once in an examination asked the
question, What is Life? He an
swered in an idiomatic of his
native tongue which translated
would express a sentiment about
like this: What is life?--a flood
Of energy, driving ceaslessly,
eternity bound" Noting the
eternal urge and its effect upon
the ants" Bjornson cynically
says:
THE masses have not learned
to use their brains to any better
advantage today than was the
case in some previous epoch of
the worlds history and they are
fast losing the use Of their feet.
IL there is anything in the the
DRY of evolution, in five hundred
years from now the offspring Of
the human animal will be born
with radiator and an exhaust
pipe and probably the appendix
which we now pay so much for
having cut off, will evolve into
some kind Of a toolbox."
But the sage of Minnesota is
more than a cynic. He says that
inspite Of his cynical observations
he deems it good to be alive, and
he remarks:
The fires upon the altar of
Truth never dies, for though the
foundations Of the temple crum-
bic and the walls fall there still
will live among the embers of the
altar-fire the spark that again
shall light the torch of the Seek
er and guide the way of Progress
to that Promised Land which ev-
er lies beyond. 1t is a consoling
thing to know that the faults
we fight and the sins we sue
cumb to are just such as play
hide-and-seek. within the bosom
Of each and everyone about us"
