GREAT 13 TODAY.
Out on n world that's pons to weed I
Tho great tall corn Is still strong In bis need;
float her breast with laughter, put song In yottf
toll.
The heart Is still young In the mother soil;
There's sunshlnoand bird song, and red and tvhlto
clover, y,
And lovo lives j-ct, world under and over.
The light's white as ever, cow and believe:
Clearer dew did not glisten round Adatn and Eve,
Never bluer heavens nor greener sod
Binco the round world rolled from tlio hand of
God;
There's a sun to go down, to como un again.
There nro new moons to fill when tho old moons
vane.
3s wisdom dead since l'Jato 's no more?
Who'll that babo bo. In von cottago doorf
"Whlto your Shnkcspearc, your Milton, takes h!a
O place In tho tomb,
Jlls brother Is stirring In tho good mother womb
There's glancing of daisies ODd runnlngof brooks.
Ay, uro enough left to write In the books.
Tho world's not all wisdom, nor poems, nor flow-
crs, o
But each day has tho tamo good twenty-four
iiours.
The samo light, tho samo night 1 For your Jacobs,
no tears;
They see tho Itachcls nt tho end of tho years!
Thcro's wnvingof wheat, nnd the tall. tronircorn.
And his heart blood Is water, that slttcth forlorn.

Prcoorving eggs for winter uso is not
difficult, but caro is required. Eggs
from hens not in company with males
will keep three iimcs as long as those
containing tho gorms of chicks. Keep
tho eggn on raekb in n cool placo, and
turn them half over twico a wcok.
Oil is cheaper than machiuory, so
uso it freely on all tho working parts
I of tho mowers and reapers. Lumber
is also cheaper, and when not in use
evory pieco should bo carefully
housed, as well as all tho tools used
about tho farm. Tools, carts and ma
chit'cs rust out much fastoi than they
will wear out.

The sweet and sour apple question
is sure to be discussed at this season.
A recent writer remarks that sweet
apples aro generally considered much
more valuable for fading than sour,
but thero i3 less diuerence than many
suppose. If well ripened oven sour
apples contain a good deal of sweet,
which is to the taste overcome by a
flight disproportion of acid. Those
who have fed sour ripe apples find
them nearly or quito as nutritive as
sweet ones. They should not, how
ever, bo given lo hogs which are fed
corn in the car, as it will mako the
pigs' teeth sore.
Wolves are doing great damage in
j Northern Montana by destroying
stock. In Choteau Couuty Charles
Adams was compelled to fly from tho
beasts tho other night, whon they de
stroyed eighty of his thorough-bred
buckw. Onft hnndrtnl and fiftv sheen
wero killed in 0110 llock"and also
thirty colts belonging to another
ranchman. The wolves also attack
travelers.
If cows arc fed a liberal ration of
palatable, nutritious ground feed night
and morning they require no driving.
No dog or boy is necessary to chase
tho fields over to persuade them, but
about milking time thoy aro ready to
walk from pasture to barn quieth-,
and tho pails will bo fuller as there
has been no excitement. Keep cows
quiet and thoy give hotter returns.
Thus si saving of labor and patience

ablo curiosity in a nniBcum in tho lit

nost mado of imporfoct watch springe
which had been thrown out of tlio lit
tle watch factories which abound in
that district. Soma bird considered
thorn ojccollont material ol which to
construct hor nost, and with inlinito

As the cold increases with approach
to winter, farmors should bear in mind
that an increased amount rf fnnd nr
material is required" to maintain bodilv
heat; and if animals aro only able to
procure maintenance rations, the in
creased heat required to maintain a
normal heat of tho body must bo gen
erated from a consumption of tie
nionts of heat thai have been accumu
lated in theshapo of fat and tissuo.
How muoh better to furnish tho re

saves any wasto of accumulated fat
which may be continually held ugainst

arrived at their camping placo before

short hunt bofore dark. Thoy had

coming in sight of ono of unusual
site, which thoy succeeded in bring

The mending of the fences and re
pairing of the ditches and drains are
usually laid aside, along with cutting
tho supply of wood, for winter employ
ment, but though this has been the
custom in tho past, yot It is doubtful
if such work cau bo economically done
in winter. Digging post-holes when
tho ground is frozen, and haulinir
wood ovor rough roads,or being caught
with a load in a snow storm, aro more
laborious than dointr the work in the
fall, when tho materials for building
can bo moro easily procured and the
work lono in a shorter time. All tho
outdoor work should bo done bofnm
tho winter comes on. Tho winter will
givo ample employment with inside
work. Manure making and stock
feeding aro jobs for winter, and much
of tho grain can bo Uirashcd and
cleaned later on. If any of tho work-
to be done is to bo postponed let it be
