Thera nro many people who go through
life without over knowing what It Is to
tignt a irnle of win,!.
There i a breath of heaven of which
the solo nnwsii m death. It in a winr
with no fine sounding name, for It Ik'
long to the north, whore itn'ii endure
things nnd have no thought of naming
them. It Wow for six month of tin'
J'Mf. It veers from south-southwest to
northwest-hy-north, anil it is horn upon
the gray icefields round the polo. For
many hundred miles It rave across the
frozon oivnn, gathering deathly coldness
at every league. On its shoulders It oar
ries tons of snow, and then striking latnl.
It rages and tears, howls, moans and
screams across northern Europe Into far
froaon Asia. In passing it clothes all
Itttssia in white, and still has plenty to
spare for bleak Siberia, northern China
and Japan.
A few northern races manage to live
on in such numbers as to save extermina
tion, and that is all. More than a third
of them are partially or wholly blind.
Their existence is a constant and unequal
struggle against this s.une wind and its
pitiless auxiliaries snow and frost. The
earth yields no increase here. A little
sparse vegetation, sufficient only to nour
ish miserable reindeer and a few horses:
a scattering of pine tr.s. and that is all.
Although no sanctifying spirit can be
said to walk upon the waters, the sea

reindoor eat tih. not dried but frozen,
xvhen they can get it.
It was across this country, and in face
of this wind, that a party of men an.l
women made their way in the late sum
mer several years flo. l.y late summer
one means the first fortnight in July in
these high latitudes. These travelers
were twenty-one in number sixteen men
and live women. One woman carried n
baby a jail bird born in prison un
baptized. It did nor count, not even as
half a person, to any one except its
mother. Men and women were dressed
alike in good fur clothing, baggy trousers
tucked into felt boots, long blouse-like fur
coats, and caps with eartlaps tie. I down.
Hoots, trousers, coats and even caps bore
signs of damage by water. When north
ern Siberia is not froen up it is in a
state of flood, and traveling, except by
water. Is almost impossible. These peo
ple had come many miles by this compar
atively easy method nt imminent risk,
for they had traveled north on the bosom
of the flood. Since then they have liter
ally burned their vessels iu order to cut
off pursuit.
The men dragged light sledges, three
to a sledge, and four resting. The wom
en carried various more precious burdens
delicate instruments, such as com
passes and aneroids. 15'tieath the fur
caps throbbed some singular brains, from
under the draggled brims looked out some
strange faces. There was a doctor among
them, two army officers, a judge and oth
ers who had not been allowed time to be
come anything, for they were exiled while
students.
The whole party pressed forward In si
lence with tight-locked lips and half-closed
eyes, for the rushing wind carried a
Una blinding snow before it. Only one
person spoke at times. It was the woman
who carried the baby, and she Interlard
ed her Inconsequent remarks with
snatches of song and bursts of peculiar
cackling laughter. Suddenly ahe aat
down on a boulder.
"I will sit here," she said, "in the
warm sun."
The whole party stopped, and one of
the women answered :
"Come, Anna," she said, "we cannot
wait here." Still speaking, she took her
arm and urged her to rise.
"But," protested she who had been ad
dressed as Anna, "where Is the picnic to
be?"
"The picnic, Anna Pavloski." said a
small, squarely built man, coming for
ward and speaking in a wonderfully deep
and harmonious tone of voice, "is to be
held further ou. You must come at
once."
"I think," she said gently, "that I will
wait here for my husband. I expect him
home from the office. II will bring the
newspaper."
They were all grouped round the wom
an now except one man, and he stood
Hpart with his back turned toward them,
lie had been dragging the foremost sledge,
and the broad band of the trace, was still
across his shoulders, lie had been lead
ing the way, and seemed iu some subtle
manner to be recognized as chief and
pioneer.
Again the woman who had first spoken
persuaded ; again the broad-shouldered
man spoke in his commanding gentleness.
It was, however, of no avail. Then after
a few moments of painful hesitation, he
left the group and went to when the
leader stood alone,
"Pavloski," he said.
"Yes, doctor." He never turned his
head, but stood rigid and stern, looking
straight before him, scowling with eyes
from which the horror now would never
fade, into the gray, hopeless distance. No
marble statue could reproduce the strong,
cold despair that breathed in every limb
and feature,
"Something," said the doctor, "must be
done. We are behind our time already."
"I suppose it is my duty to stay with
you?" said Pavloski. "I cannot leave
the party' I cannot stay behind?"
The little man made no answer. IIU
ullence was more eloquent than any
words could have been. A dramatic
painter could scarcely have found a sad
der picture than these two friendy who
dared not to meet each other's eyes. And
yet, in a moment, it was rendered Infi
nitely sadder by the advent of a third
person.
Swathed as she was In furs, It was
difficult to distinguish that this was n
woman at all, and yet to a close observer
lier movements, the manner In which she
tiet her feet upon the ground, the sugges
tion of graceful curves in limb and form,
betrayed that she was Indeed a .voting
girl. lier face confirmed it gay blue
eyes and a rosebud mouth, round cheeks
delicately tinted despite the wild wind,
nnd little wisps of golden hair straggling;
out beneath the ear-flaps, and gleaming
against, the dusky face,

No." he answered. "We arranged It

one thing to be done."
The doctor and the girl exchanged a
look of horror, and hesitated to follow
him.
If was agreed." he continued, me
chanically, "that the lives of all were
never to be endangered for the sake of

Slowly the two followed him. As they
approached the group some of these step

few pa.vs and stood apart with averted
faiivs.

She addrosed Pavloski, who was stand
ing in front of her. lie made no answer,
ut presently turned away with a con-
ulsive movement of lips and throat, as if
e were swallowing with an effort. Then
lie raised his voice and. addressing his
ompanions generally, he said, with the
assurance of a man placed in a position
to exact obedience :
"Will you all go on? Keep the same
lirection, mirth -by-west according to the
ompass. I .shall catch you up before
veniug."
He stood quire still, like a man hewn
uit of stone upright, emotionless and
qui..- determined awaiting the fullill-
ment of his commands. All around him
his companions waited. It almost scorn
ed as if they expected the Almighty to
interfere. Even to those who have tasted
the bitterest cup that life has ever brew
ed, this seemed too cruel to be truetoo
horrid: And the wind blew all around
them, tearing, raging on.
At last one man had the courage to do
it. It was he whi) had spoken to Pav
loski. th man whom they called doctor.
He went toward on.- of the sledges and
proceeded to disentangle the tra.s-s thrown
carelessly down when h halt had been
called. The men stepped silently forward
and drew the cords across their shoulders.
Toe women moved away tirst, steppim
softly on the silent snow, and like phan
toms vanishing in the mist and windy tur
moil. The men followed, dragging their
noiseless sledges. The doctor stayed be
hind for a moment. When the others
were out of earshot he went toward Pav
loski and laid his mittened hand upon his
arm.
"Sergiua," he said, with painful hesi
tation, "let me do it I am a doctor It
will be easier."
Pavloski turned and looked at the
speaker In a stupid, bewildered way, as
if the language used were unknown tr
him. Then he smiled suddenly, In a sick
ening way ; it was like a cynical smil
upon the face of the dead.
"Go."' he said, pointing to windward,
where their companions had disappeared.
"Go with them. Let each one of us do
his duty. It will be a consolation, what
ever the end may be."
The doctor was bound in honor to obey
this man in all and through all. He
obeyed now, and left Serglus Pavloski
alone with his mad wife and his helpless
babe. As he moved away he heard the
woman prattling of the sun and the birds
and the flowers.
He turned his face resolutely north
ward and pressed forward Into the Icy
wind, but a muffled, gurgling shriek broke
down his strong resolution. Without
slopping, he glanced back over his shoul
der with a gasp of horror. Sergiua Pav
lo.sk I was kneeling with his back to the
north; but he was not kneeling on the
snow, for the dix'tor saw two fur-clad
arms waving convulsively, and between
lie soles of Pavloski's great snow boots
he caught sight of two other feet drawn
up in agony.
"Oh, God!" exclaimed the man, aloud,
"forgive him!"
And with bloodshot eyes and haggard
lips he stumbled on, not heeding where
lie set his feet. He fell, and rose again,
scarce knowing what he did. Hespite the
freezing wind, the perspiration ran down
his face, blinding him. It froze and hung
there in little icicles on his mustache and
beard.
And in the agony of his strong mind
his brain lost all power of concentration.
His lips continued to frame those four
words over and over again until they be
came bereft of all meaning and lapsed
Into a mere rhythmic refrain, keeping
time with the swing of his sturdy legs.

Fleeuer has a cabin of two rooms In
the hills of Ilrown County, and has
gone Into the rattlesnake Industry In n
systematic way. He has constructed
h wall of cement and stone nround tha
stone chimney of his cabin, making a
chamber about by 0 feet, nnd this Is
kept warm In the winter by a constant
fire In the fireplace In the cabin. In
this don he keeps the snakes for breed
ing and foods them regularly through
the winter. Ho says lie made a study
of the habits of timber rattlors ftr
years ami found that they were always
more prolific after a warm winter than
after one that was exceedingly col.l.
Ho constructed tjio den nround the out
side of the chimney on the theory that
the keeping of the clilninev Immediate.
ly back of the tiro always warm would
frrnlsh ample beat for the sunk. and
with proper feeding ho would 1 nMo
to increase the propagation Indefinitely.
Ho accounts for the scarcity of the
t-leclo.s known as timber rattlers by the
Increasing cold winters of the West,
and says that lil.s experience In keeping
the reptiles In a warm place during
winter Justifies the theory uikiii which
li.: started. This spring be had eleven,
though he began two years ago with
only a single pair, nnd latt year he sold
three live ones, for which ho got $73.
He believes he can tnniiit on doubling

(t.uiding th" fact that he expvts to
dispose of three of his 2 year-olds In a
few days. Though the octogenarian
makes no professions of being a snake
ciHi-nier, he says that domestication
nir.kes a great difference In the habits
of the rattlers, for they nre In no sense
venomous when they nre ra'sed In his
den. lie often opens the door leading
from the ilcii Into his cabin ami per
mit' them to enter the house.
'I'd lMthersol! the skins than the live
snakes," said the aged strike raiser. I
"for then I have the advantage of the
meat, and it Is the best 1 ever ate. It
tastes something like turtle, but Is more
tender and has a better flavor, nnd
big rattler will make three meals good
enough for a king. It don't cost any
thing to raise them nnd there ought to
Ie a big demand because they Hre so
scarce. Yes, there's plenty of rattle
snakes, but they nln't timber rattlers,
and that makes a big difference to them
that know."
Fearless Swimmer.
In the water the Hawaiian., are ab
solutely fearless. As soon as they can
waJk, little babies are taken to bathe
la the sea, and la a very short time
tliey are able to swim like porpoises.
The author of "Hawaiian Yesterdays
gives a reminiscence of the courage of
the natives.
Our party had arrived in IIIlo Bay,
and we were all seated upon the plat
form of a big double canoe, paddling
ashore from the schooner which lay out
In the harbor. A throng of natives
lined the beach, waiting to welcome
their returning teachers.
Just ns we were entering the surf
that rolled upon the sandy shore,
through some accident the canoes nud-
ienly filled and sank, leaving us all
sitting half-submerged In the shallow
water. With a loud roar of "Auwel"
(Oh and Alas!) the assembled crowd
rushed as one man Into the waves and
fere us safely to land.
On one occasion, about the same date,
coasting vessel was upset in a vio
lent squall between the Islands of Ha
waii and Maul. Although the nearest
Und was twenty miles distant, the na
tive crew and passengers boldly struck
out to swim ashore; and several of
them did come safe to land ufter a
night and day In the deep.
Among the survivors of the wreck
was a poor woman who for several
hours swam with her husband upon
Ler back ; but the poor man died of cold
and fatigue, and had to lie abandoned
at last before the coast was reached.

all stages of farm work, from plow His:

perience says of them :
The main points In favor of the disk
nre that It will work closer to young
corn without covering It. will work
ground without Injury that Is too wot
to lie plowed with a shovel plow, will
not throw up clods, but loaves the
ground always In n tlno tilth, can bo
sot to run varying depths, shallow next
to the corn and dei-p'T l' the middle
of the row, which Is the proper way
when making the last two cultivations.
However, the disk will not plow deep In
very hard ground or turn the soil In
such a way as to kill largo weeds, yet
If the weeds are taken In hand before
they become too large the disk is sails
factory in this as well.
When corn Is chocked It Is not prac
ticable to plow across the llei.l with the
disk. If the disk Is run across the
rows. It will bo very Inconvenient, as
the gangs are more nearly rigid and
cannot bo so easily adapted to tho In
ciual!ty of the ground.
For barring away the young com.
cutting the dirt away from it. and for
giving the hist cultivation, laying by.
1 consider the disk vastly superior to
the shovel, but where laud has been
severely packed, as by hard ruins, noth
ing, in my opinion, will take the place
of a four shovel cultivator of the tw ist
ed pattern, and they should not be less
than five Inches w ido.

In the fattening of poultry for mar
ket it Is always a good plan to online
the birds to iputc small .platters In or
der that the food given them may ac
complish the best possible result. The
fattening coop should be where It Is
light and dry and the birds must be
kept comfortable at all times. More
than all. the coop or coops must be kept
clean, else the fowls are likely to be
come sl.k and will not In such condi
tion take on tlcsh. Where there are
a number of fowls to fatten coops are
arranged ou a wide t-helf which forms
the bottom, then when it Is to be
cleaned simply lift It up and set Iu an
other .place, leaving the shelf free to
clean thoroughly. Any Imix of light
material will do for the fattening ooop
with wire netting to within sl inches
of the bottom. Across this spuce a bar
may bo pin ceil with Just erough space
between It and the wire netting so that
the hen can get her head out to feed.
A narrow trough should be kept In
front of the coop and Iks rilled with a
variety of grain in mixture so that the
fowl may help Itself when It desires.

Value of a Under ryvr.
The value of a cow considered ns an
Investment was lately figured out by H.
P. Guerler, tho Illinois expert. Start
ing with a poor cow, one that produced
1!00 pounds of butter a year, ho reckons
the food cost at $.'l'. and the labor at
$12.50, while the butter Is worth only
$.'5.1, or less than the market valuo of
the food consumed. Tho fancy butter
cow produces 400 pounds of butter per
year, and on the same busls of reck
oning nets her owner Interest on $100,
besides paying for tho food nnd labor.
The price of butter In both cases is
reckoned at 20 cents. The fancy cow
consumed somewhat more food than
the other, but the difference was more
than offset by the Increased amount of
skltnmilk. According to Mr. Guerler,
the fancy cow Is better worth $400 than
the ordinary cow taken as n gift.
Coat of Making; Holler.
In a recent report published by the
Iowa state dairy commissioner, tho av
erage cost of producing one pound of
butter Is given as follows:
In the creamery that makes 40,000
pounds of butter n year, It costs 4 ints
to mako one pound of butter, and lu a
creamery producing 50,0X) pounds It
costs 8.4 cents to make one pound ;
while iu creameries making J.0,000
pounds per year It costs only 1.K5
cents. In some of the very largo cen
tral plants, that nro producing over
i!00,000 pounds of butler per year, It
costs 1.4 cents per pound. Theso fig-
tires clearly show that the larger tho
creamery the cheaper butler can he
manufactured, and they also show that
It takes about -100 cows, tributary to
one factory, before a prolifablo cream
ery business cun he established.

A k!loc,igo ol the habits of reeling
Is of value Iu selecting breeds of sheep
for the farm. Merinos f I In a bum h.
while the large, openwo.d bleeds scut
tor like ciittl.'. For herding with cattle,
the larger breeds are preferable, ns
they do Hot spoil the grass, unless III
large number. For fence pastures
Used for sheep ill , the habits of the
merino favor close feeding. For weedy
ground sheep should be ke t on scant
pasture. If there Is plenty of sweet
grass they will not touch the weeds.
If grass Is sciirci) tho weeds a
cropped low.
It Is a good policy to chnnge the feisl
of a shivp frequently. FsjK'clally is
this necessary for fattening sheep; they
liecome tired of one variety of food.
The hay may lie varied with corn-fist-
dor, or even straw occasionally. The
grain should by all means lie varied
with roots, oil cake, bran, etc. This
method of feeding stimulates their np-
js-tlte and keeps sheep from "getting off
their feed." Sheep often go a long
time without drinking, especially If In
good pasture, nnd when the dews are so
heavy that they can till up with wet
grass lu the morning. Hut when they
do want to drink, water Is as necessary
to their health and comfort us to that
of other animals.
Tomatoes ami Nitrate.
One hundred pounds to the acre of
nitrate of soda applied to the tomato
crop when the fruit Is beginning to set
will largely increase the yield utid has
ten the time of ripening. Spread the
nitrate broadcast or between the rows
Just before a shower, nnd then cultivate
It Into the soli. One quarter of an
ounce to a plant Is about right iu small
gardens. Fxpcrliucnls nt the New Jer
sey station have shown that nitrate
applied about the middle of Juno had
a much greater effect on the crop than
the saiuo amount applied earlier lu tha
season. A dressing of li;o pounds per
acre Increased the crop one-third nhovo
that of a plot not so treated. Nitrate
of soda Is a very quick working ferti
lizer. It produces rank, dark green fo
llnge, which obstinately resists the at
tacks of Insects nnd of mildew. Wo
have found nitrate excellent also to
produce early asparagus, hut care must
be taken not to apply too much.
Method for Teatlnir KttTifa.
A simple method for testing eggs,
which comes from Germany, Is bused
upon the fact that the ulr chamber in
the flat end of an 'egg Increases with
age. If the egg Is pi need In a solution
of common salt It will show an Increas
ing Inclination to float with the long
axis vertical. Hy watching this tend
ency the age of the egg can bo deter
mined almost to a day. A fresh egg
lies In n horizontal position nt tho bot
tom of the vessel; an egg from three to
five days old shows an elevation at tho
tint end, so that Its long axis forms an
angle of IiO degrees, and an egg ft
month old floats vertically upon the
pointed end.
When to Dock I.umlta.
The docking of lambs tdiouhl take

Of course, It may be done Inter, hut tho
Injury resulting Is less ut the ago
