the Billowing Golden Waves
Stretch From Sky to Sky.
Take a look at the Wheatfield that
has been brought up to iierfeetlon as
It stands, yellow as gold, with the
sheen of the sea, billowing from sky
line to sky Hue like an ocean of gold,
where the wind touches the rippliug
wave crests with the tread of Invisi
ble feet. In California, in Oregon, in
Washington, in Dakota, In the Cana
dian northwest, you may ride all day
ou horseback through the Wheatfields
without a break in the flow of yellow
heavy headed grain—no fence Hues,
no meadow lands, no shade trees,
uo knobs and knolls and bills and hol
lows of grass or black earth through.
From dawn till dark, from sunrise, in
a burst of tiery splendor over the
prairie horizon, to sundown, when the
crimson thing bangs like a huge shield
of blood In the haze of a heat twi
light. you may ride with naught to
break the view between you and the
horizon but wheat—wheat. It Is like
the g< !d fields. It goes to your head.
You grow dizzy looking at it. You rub
your eyes. Is it a mirage? The hü
low l:;g yellow waves seem to be
breasting the very sky. You look up.
Th" sky is there all right with the
black mot«* of a meadow lark sailing
the azure sea. He drops liquid uotes
of sheer mellow music down on your
head, does that meadow lark, and that
gives you back your perspective, your
sense of amazing reality. Y’ou are
literally, absolutely, really. In the
midst of a sea of living gold. It is you
and uot the lark that is the mote.
You begin to feel ns If your special
mote might be a beam that would get
lost in infinity if you stayed there long,
and so you ride on aud on. and some
more on, aud by and by couie out of
the league long, fenceless fields with
an odor in your nostrils that isn’t ex
actly like incense—it’s too fugitive, too
fine, too subllmal of earth. It is aro
matic. a sort of nttar of roses, the im
prisoned fragrance of the billions upon
billions of wheat flowers shut up in
the glumes of the heavy headed grain
there.
And that's the odor of the
wheat.—Agnes C. Laut In Outlug Mag

BLACK FOX PELTS.
Only About Five Skins Are Secured
Each Year.
In the estimation of trappers of the
Canadian northland us well us in the
eyes of the nobility of Russia there Is
only one king of beasts, the highly
prized bluck fox. On an average five
perfect |u‘lts of this rare fur bearer
nre brought down from the northland
each year and In rare .»ears ns many
as ten or twelve, though each year
thousands of men make a living trap
ping and the yearly cutch of foxsklus
amounts to over 100,000 from Canada
alone.
In no way except In color does the
black fox differ from the red fox,
whose pelt sells for about $2. or from
the gray fox. whose winter coat Is
valued nt from $130 to $400. but when
ever a hunter can secure a black fox
and remove its skin without marring
the fur he Is sure of receiving from
$80;» to $1X00 for his trophy. Not only
Is every black fox pelt bought as soon
as taken, but a dozen Russian noble
men have paid agents traveling ill
North America all through the winter
seeking out remote hillside farms and
abandoned logging eniiips where It 1«
fiossil le that a shy and elusive black
fox may have la-en seen.
Within the last twenty years a num
ber of wealthy men who have owned
fenced game preserves have spent vast
sums of money In buying foxes alive
aud turning them loose within private I
luclosures. By and by It may be that
some skilled or fortunate breeder will
produce n black pup or perhaps a pair
of black foxes may be captured alive,
and from these a new breed of black
foxes will arise and cause a great
panic among the men who hunt for
black foxes. lie who can wrest the
secret of breeding black foxes from
nature Is assured of riches past count

homage of tile Russian nobility and
aristocracy, who seem willing to sacri

wearing overcoats made from the pelts
