THE FALLOW FIELD.
JOMA C. !(. I KB.
The eun cornea up ami the sun goes down,
The nttflit mist slirouilcth the sleeping town;
But if it le rlarlc or if it ho flay,
If the tirnptsts beat or the broeis play.
Still h-re nn thin uplainl elope I lie
Looking up to the changeful sky.
HauRht am I hut a fallow field;
jjevor a crnp my acres yield.
Orer hu all at my right hand
Stately end green the torn lilailca stand,
And I heur at my left the flying feet
Of tho winds that rustle the bending wheat.
(Often while yet tho morn is red
I lilt for our master's eaer tread.
He smilis at the young corn's towering hight,
He known tho wheat's a goodly siuht,
But he glances not at the fallow Held
Whose idle acres no wealth may yield.
Sometimes the shout of the harvesters
The ileeptng pulse of my being stirs,
And as one in a drr am I seem tc feel
The "weeping and the rush of the swinging
steel.
Or I catch the sound of the gay refrain
JU they heap their wains with the golden
grain.
Vt n mv nplffhhnra he nnt too moild.
Though on evry tonge your praUe is loud,
Our mother Nature is kind to me,
And I am beloved by bird and boe,
And never a child that passes by
But turns upon me a grateful eye.
Over my head the skies are blue;
I have my share of the rain and dew;
I bask like you in tho summer sun
When the long bright days pass, one by one,
And cilm as vours ib my swett repose
Wrapped in tin warmth of the winter snows.
For little our loving mother caren,
Which tho corn or daisy bears.
Which it rich itli the ripening wheat,
Whioh with tho violet's breath is sweet,
Which is the red with tho clover bloom,
Or which for the wild swett fern makes room.
Useless under tho summer sky
Year after year men say I lio.
Little they know what strength of mlno
1 glvo to the trailing blackberry vine;
Little they know how tho wild grap grows,
Dr how m lito-blood flushes tho roso.
Little they think of tho cups I till
For tho tnoncs creeping under the hill;
Little thev think of the feart I spread
For the wild wco creatures that must be fed;
Squirrel and ImtterHy, bird and heo,
And tin- croc ping things that no eye may see.
Lord ot tho harvest, Thou dost know
How the summers and winters go.
Never a ship sails east or west.
Laden with treasures at my behest.
Yet my loing thrills to tho voico of Ond,
When give my gold to tho golden-rod.
A Summer Boarder.
Janet Kin i oil stood in tho low, vino
wreathed doorway of htr home, a comfoi table
Maine farm liou'e, at the clone of a sultry
June liny. Her i;!nnco was diiected towards
a manly, sun-burnt young fellow, tall and
broad shouldered, who wan making his ay
toward her through tho wide, sweet clovtr
meadow.
Nearer lie enme, until i smile broko the
naturally grave expression of his handsome
mouth, and ho stretchd out his arms to draw
her to Imlireiist.
Janet, inntead of nestling close against tho
manly liicirt which sho knew beat always
warmly and tiuly for her, tlroiv lelcictmtly
away. A do p led flush mounted suddenly
the young tu in's foieliead, II looked at hi r
averted face, her indillerent attitude with
amazement, Was this tho gill who had tint
her hands m his inor six months ago, and
pledged herself 1 1 lie his "own littlo ifo J"
"Janet," ho mid, "what Is it?"
"Wh.it do ou menu, John ?" Jnuet kept
her eye f isleiml on the ton of her little shoe,
that, nntuitlntaudliig her appearance of cool
ness, lie it it livdy tattoo nervously agaiimt
the laintoJ bonds. (Iltneing up she, saw en
iprossion on that face bending stiruly above
her that forced her to add, "I am tired. 1
have been helping mother to get rouly for the
boarder lui has vugigin tho trout chamber
for the summer,"
"I did not know you expected to take
boarders, Jim t "
"He is the only one. He camo hit week,
whin mother wan at the sewing circle, and I
showed him to tho room, and he engaged
it for two months, and and- that's how
It Is."
Jam t's cheek grew red as sho thought of
the dashing stranger's look of admiration, as
In her p nk, print dress, she had stood at the
gate when lo went to the city for his baggage.
Her tongue teemed unloosed now, and she

John had no tancv for stsndine shout un

coolly allowed a comparative stranger to ino-
n' polize her smiles anil society.
"Don't co nil angry. John," said Janet,
trying the witchery of her eves on her farmer
lover. ' Ho i o deeply In lore with me that
I can wind him round my finger," sho
though'.
And it woull bo very fino to have two
swains sighing at her feet, especially two liko
John Wentworth, by far the best catch in the
country around, and the stylish, dashing Kaj
cliffe, tho new arrival, sure to create a furore
among the mauls ami matrons oi sunnyoaie.
John would not soften, spite of the moon
light and Janet's upraised eyes, shining un
der the curly lashes.
" I will come back when you can treat a
fellow decently, Janet. I am not going to De
fooled to the top of my bent to please my
jirl. Mr. HayclifJe is getting tired waiting
for you, so I will not keep you any longer.
Good evening."
That wan the last Janet saw of John. But
she had little time to think of him, while Mr
Kaycliffe detnted himself so entirely to her
amusement. HO painieil lier uibiib, ttuu
while sho sat for him, beguiled the time re
citing in melting tones yards of tender, senti
mental poetry ; they went on sketching tours,
they sat on tho piarza in the twilight and
sung together, for Janet had a swe.t alto
voice, which tho boarder was not long in find
ing admirably suited his own.
Things went on until Jam t's mother, with
many a nood and beck wreathed smile, inti
mated that there was an "undtrstuuling"
between tho young people. John Weutworth
was well enough in his way, honest, soht r
and industrious, ond shrewed as need he, but
she looked higher f"r Janet. Janet had been
to a hoarding school, she had the education of
a lady, sho could ting, and play tho piano,
and Mr. Kaycllir had prai-td her drawing
more than a little And, by the way he hung
around (his time to go back to the city was
up long ago, but he had engazed the room for
another mouth) sho a sure something would
come of it. She could sniff wedding in the
air, and went so far an to ask Mrs. lirown's
opinion as to the most fashionable way of
making dres e, and as to whether it would
not he advisable to send to Boston for a nice
dress, a very nice one, suitable and then
Janet's mother hesitated, and smiled and
looked very wise suitablo for a wedding
dress. Of coune Mrs Urown knew at once
that tho dress was for Janet, and thougn Mrs.
Brown, who was sometimes called the sunny
dale Daily I attler, the rest of the inhabitants
were informed without loss of precious time.
The report came to tho tars of John Went
wotth. Like a sensible ftllow he concealed
whatever ficlings of disappointment ami
chigriu the announcement aroused, from the
liryim.' and inquisitive eyes of the bunybodies.
He, did not stay from church, or from any of
tho social village gatherings of joung people
because ho mot Janot and hci devoted
adorir there. Not he, ho d meed and laughed
tho more, although i he pain in Ins heuit which
hosodotcnniiiiilly hid from view, was in re
ality long in dying out.
Janet had been his first love, and however
lightly sho had loved him, he, at least, lad
been sincere, and could not forget her in a
day, try as ho might.
Time, howevei, is a great he.iler, and when
one hazy October day, Janet rode over in her
phaiton, to ask John and his sister to her
welding, ho looked at her t-trmght in the
eyes, and ill bed her "a happy future,"
with a tremor iu his henty oico or a quiver
of bin eyelid.
"Kugene ban gone to Boston, " slid Janet,
flicking tliu Hies nil' her gr.iv pony and leauitn
foiward. "We shoul 1 hive heard from him
yesterday. I feel it little worm d. He hail a
g .ml de.il of money with him. Wo sent to the

ndv.uicu lor portraits. I dreamed last hi. lit of
his being nibbed and kdle I. Ugh I It make
me shiver. I know I am foolish, but I can't
feel e.isy."
Two diys went by, and no news of the
prospectite bridegroom. Tho tit tiding pre
p.tiat'ons lagged. I'hreo days -Judge .Ionian
a d Squire White had a consultation.
HiJIs began to fall due, and Kugene Ha)

mother took to her bed with an illness, sud
den, and of a uatuie unexplained and ob
scure. Janet ijrow nalo waiting for :t h tter.
Finally, one bri lit Satnr lay morning, Sunny
dale, individually ami collcctivrl), J ne-apo
over a startling headline iu a Boston paper.
"Arrest late last uightof Jo eph Raymond,
otherwise known us 'Dashing Jo,' and having
for his late, t alias, Kugcuo Ka) cliflo. Several
well to-do usideiits of SuuuyiUlc worn vie
timired by the accuinpliihed and gentlemanly
soouudnl."
Tlui atfoir was a nine days' wonder. But
after a mouth or two had passed aw ay, and
the excitement had quiit it, people began to
wondir if John Wentwoith would "take up
his pretty early love."
Kneouragement for him to do so was not
lucking (so the matrons of Suiinydalc w ill tell
you,) troui Jam t's mother. Janet herself
wiote a littlo note on perfumed paiur to
John, and this was the closing pait ot ins re
ply: "I do not want to reproach you for throw

When, a ) ivtr after, on another still O.-to-W

cried a little and otlered faint, lachrymose

bard winters for the pat two years have now
begun to show their tffects, lu the scarcity of
cattle in markets and ou the ranges. Farmers
now should Bave the calves and not make veal
of them, as has been done in pat years. After
a month or so at this season calves can be
turned out to shift for themselves, and in a
tolerable pasture, will thrive and grow, cost
ing little or nothing on a pastural range.
Three year-olds are worth from thirty to forty
dollars a head, and if fed or fattened for mai-
ket. will bring still higher price. The best
prices ot meat in market now cost from
twenty to twenty-five cents a pound, the
poorest bringing ten and fifteen cents. Veal
and pork are the same price Mutton is a lit
tle cbeapei, but still, high enough to make it
profitable to look after sheep raising, too.
Another year will advance prices in beef, as
the big ranges in Eastern Oregon are eaten
out, and the bulk of the great herds have been
driven to Chicago and Eastern markets.

How to Save the Driving and Working Horse
Not a tew have learned that by putting the
weitdil suddenly upon a small, round stone, or
upon the edge of a plank on a sidewalk out of
repair, lament ss may follow that will cling to
tho person through life. Many horsis are
lamed in like manner from bein? recklessly
driten where cobble stoius are in the path, a
step upon one of these, when the horse is
moving a load, or going at a rapid gait, being
quito likely to strain the joint within the
foot, or produce a like effect in some part of
the limb. It is a wouder that so many horses
go through life retaining a fair digree of
soundness in body and limb to the last, when
wo consider the violent strains put upon
them, the overheating, and oxpo-ures to in
clement weather at the same time.
Neglect of tho feet, permitting horses to De
driven on ice at this season of the year with
out having the shoes sharpen) d, is the source
of many a violent strain to joints, tendons and
muscle". Whether sharp or smooth shod, the
driver can, if he will, always choose his
ground. An ingenious, considerate driver, by
looking a little ahead, may give his horse the
most favorable footing, and at the same time,
keep his wheels out of ruts. It shows a great
want of tact and judgment in men upon the
road, when all follow the one beaten track,
eaih one doing all he can to plow the rut
deeper. If a hall is made, that the team may
have a brief rest and regain wind, a pruil 1 1
nun will see that the team is brought to a
stop on a descending grade, if ho can avail
himself of this advautage, as, if heavily
loaded, tho start causes unnec-sary strain
upon any other ground.
Iu an uneven ciuutry, whether a team is
hinvily loaded or not, great care is required,
both in ascending and in descending hills. A
man may be, in a measure, pardoned for
dining his team checked up on level ground,
provided ho occasionally loose the ohecks to
give relief; but uo one is excusable for driving
up hill, whether loaded or not, without
loosening the check rein. It will always be
observed that a hurse, while pulling a a load,
unless he has a hign, slanting shoulder, ami
has always done his work with head Checked

Starving Colts.
In early life, sixty years ago, wo were
taught that it was important in order to have
a strong and hardy horse that the colt should
be allowed to shift for himself, live outdoors
through the winter, and support himself I y
g'eauing in the stalk fields. And this doctrine
is believtd, or at hast practised, at the pies
ent day, not in solitary cases, but the in
stances can be found all over tho State. There
is no doctrine more fallacious, and no practice
more detritnmtul to the future usefulness of
the horse or injurious to tho interests of the
owner of the cult. The first year ot a colt is
all important to his future usefulness, and no
item iu his care and treatment is essential as
plenty of gjod nourishing tood. He needs as
much, it not more, than a fully matuieu
horse. Ju t as a hoy's appetite and the de
mands of his groaiug system require moie
food than the man of matured age, so the colt
needs more at the perioei he is builjing up his
flesh and bones man auy other period. So
give the colts plenty of god food, not in pro
portion to their sue in comparison to the
horse, but feed in proportion to the appetite
and the use they have in building up their
system. Then tney will add growth and
strength, a solid constitutiou, and valuable
pjwers. And during this solid winter let the
men and the buys ou t,.e tarm recollect the
differsjice iu the appetite ot a boy and a man,
and treat the noble little colt, whose appetite
is keen as a boy's, w ho has been all day tisli

The great defect ot the Polled breed, as
compared with the bhoi thorns, was, that it

a minute examination of the prize aniiLa a
shown at Sniithheld, ho came to the conclu
sion that he had been beaten, not because of
the interionty of his cattle, but because he
was imperfectly acquainted with the points of
the animals ai predated at the great English

of cattle. So that, if th'se experiments are to
be trusted, sheep must be considered 'as ex
cellent uti izers of food is producing, at
last, animiiy pounds of mutton, besides the
wool, troni a givm uuantity of food as can be
producd of beef; and. as the best mutton
urines as high a piice as the best beef, it
would appear, on this bisis, that sheep would
give the fleece es extra profit oter cattle On
this view, sheep on suitable lands must bo
considered among the most profitable of farm
stock. It is true, the dairy cow brings her
profitable flow of milk to offset the fleece of
the she.p; but the good dairy cow does not
lay on flesh while in milk, as does the sheep
while growing the fleece.
Breed from the Best Horses
It is one of the laws of trade to base tho
value upon the improvement of the brted to
first ascertain the value of the improvement,
and then add so much extra to the cost of
production. To sum up the profit of breeding,
the rule is, breed from the best; they will pay
the best. There is always a demand, at high
prices, for the best that the market f fiords.
They will command tho market, and fix the
price. Why does one horse sell for $100 and
another for 1,000, in tho same market ! Be
cause one is better bred than tho other. The
high bred has inherited more style and
stamina than the low bred. The well hred
horses have an acquired value from family
heritage that swells their price above the cost
of production If we breed from the Lest
specimens of the best families, their improved
value will rise far above their natural value r
cost of production. Let us breed from the best
specimens of their class, that we may increase
numbers. Cor. National Live Stock Journal.

those competeut to form an opinion, be cheap
at $10,00,, 000. The consolidated telephone
interests of tho United States uro estimated
at from $100,000 t) $150,000,000.
