THE SIN OF
By Margaret
T Isn't the thing you do, dear;
Are your Haunting ghosts tonight
The stone you might have lifted
Out of a brother's way;
The bit of hearteome counsel
You were hurried too much to say;
The loving touch of the hand, dear;
ine gentle and winsome tone
That you had no time nor thought for,
With troubles enough of your own.
The little acts of kindness,
So easily out of mind;
These chances to be angels,
Which every mortal finds;
They come In night and silence.
Each chill, reproachful wraith.
When hope is faint and flagging
And a blight has dropped on faith.
For life Is all too short, dear,
And sorrow Is all too great
To suffer our slow compassion -
That tarries until too late.
And It's not the thing you do, dear;
It's the thing you leave undone
Which gives you the bit of heartache
At the setting of the sun.
THE HARDY
BROWN SWISS.
Writing of Brown Swiss cattle In
Breeder's Gazette, Chicago, a Wiscon
sin dairyman says: Th? Swiss cattle
In this country are t so widely
known as the other classes of cattle, as
their numbers are small. The exhibit
at fairs Is not very large.
The following characteristics are
marked: Size, form and color, especial
ly of the head, ears, escutcheon, udder
and teats. The size Is large and sub
stantial, form firm and elegantly pro
portioned, color shades from dark to
light chestnut brown. The light shade
is especially observable in the tuft of
hair between the horns, on the Inside
of tbe ears and in a narrow line along
the back. Horns, which are rather
abort, are waxy and with black tips.
Nose is black and, with the mouth,
surrounded by a mealy colored band.
A yellow strip along the middle of tbe
under Up crosses over to tbe upper, lip
and extends up the sides of tbe nos
trils. A light streak runs along back
from head to tail; black switch, boots
and tongue; straight hind legs, wide
thighs and heavy quarters.
Such remarkable persistence in
marked points denotes unmistakably
the integrity and purity of the breed.
since, according to tbe well establish
ed laws of hereditary descent tbe'je
cullaritJes of other breeds with which
this might have been crossed would
almost certainly sooner or later have
cropped oat to a degree to challenge
observation In a manner not to be mis
taken. In descendants from tbe cattle
Imported lnto this country some years
ago no such signs of crosses with for
eign breeds have ever been exmnitea
This integrity of the breed is all tbe
more Important because many of tbe
traits exhibited by these cattle are
amons tbe most valuable.
From actual observation we find
they cross well with other breeds, pro
ducing a very desirable grade of oat-
tie.
Many importations of Swiss cattle
have been made Into this country. A
herd was Imported recently to tbe cen
tral states, and the progeny of a herd
' " a now Swiss cow.
that was Imported several years be
fore and which has been scattered

Barley For 8wlrw.
While corn Is considered tbe great
fattening grain for pigs, tests have
shown that other grains may be sub
stituted In i groat many cases, says
a prosperous swine breeder. At some
of our stations barley baa been tested
In comparison with corn, the result
being very favorable to tbe bnrley. In
general. It may be said that the results
have shown that barley Is not quite
equal to corn, pound for pound, but is
very dose to It and when we consider
the high quality of the carcass pro
duced by btrley feeding we may al
most say It surpasses corn as a grain
for producing a high grade of pork.
Stones and Glass Houses.
The origin of the saying. "Those wbt
Hve in glass houses should not throw

tbe union of England and Scotland
London was inundated with Scotch
men, and tbe London roughs used to
go about at night breaking tbelr win
dows. Buckingham being considered
the chief Instigator of tbe mischief, s
party of Scotchmen smashed tbe win

WORK OP THE BEAVER
Feats Performed by This Indus
trious Little Worker.
A CLEVER HOUSE BUILDER
He Is Capable of Constructing a Dwell
Ing as Large, Though Not 80 High,
as a 8mell Haystack, and Ho Can
Cut Down Big Treoe With His Tooth,
Almost every one knows something
about tbe leaver and that It builds
dams and houses to dwell in, but very
few people hare seen bearers In their
wild state. It Is also a fact that tbe
race of Industrious little workers Is
rapidly disappearing. In the older dis
tncts beavers generally live In the
banks of the streams they Inhabit and
the sight of a beaver house is uncom
mon.
Where beavers do build houses, says
Forest and Stream, the structures dif
fer greatly In size, shape and location.
Some are as large, though of course
less high, than a small haystack; oth
era are hardly more than six feet
through at the base. They may stand
either wholly on land or partly In the
water end partly on the bank or wbol
ly In the water.
They are never placed In very deep
water, for a base must be built for tbe
house to stand on reaching up to the
surface, since the chamber Inhabited
by the occupants must be dry.
Tbe shape of those houses on the
shore approaches the conical. Those in
the water are more Irregular, some
times only rounded, at others long and
rather flat on top.
Within each house and connected
with the water by a concealed passage
through which tbe beavers pass to and
fro Is the chamber which Is the an!
mats' dwelling place.
It Is large enough to contain seven or
eight of them and high enough so thnt
a bearer can conveniently sit up on his
haunches. It is warm, dry and clean,
for the beaver is extremely neat In all
his habits.
Tbe food of the bearer consists
chiefly of the green bark of twigs and
young limbs of various trees. Cotton'
wood bark Is preferred; then comes
willow, then alder, but tbe bark of
almost any tree may be eaten.
I hare known them to eat pine and
white cedar. The beaver often cuts
down trees of very considerable size to
get at the smaller limbs, which they
eat
I have seen cotton woods twenty
inches in diameter so cut and ouce on
Vancouver island I found a cedar two
and one-half feet through which they
had gnawed down.
Tbe work of cutting down a large
tree Is done by a single animal. I
have seen the beaver engaged In the
operation,- which Is as follows: The
beaver sits up on his baunonee facing
the tree and with Its fore paws rest
ing against It With its bead turned
on one side be ct)ts a groove above
and then one below and bites out tbe
chin, taking It off In almost the same
way an axman would.
He thus saves himself tbe trouble
of gnawing all the wood up Into fine
cuttings. When the tree hi felled tbe
whole community attack and rut up
the tender limbs, carrying them away
to the cache.
Unlike many of our gnawing ani
mals, tbe bearer does not sleep through
the winter. He remains active, often
venturing abroad during toe whole of
tbe cold weather. He must therefore,
bare food, and a large part of tbe
summer and autumn Is devoted to se
curing this food and depositing It in
caches. This food consists of tbe
Umbo and twigs of the trees meet pre
ferred by tbe beaver.
' Tbey are cut from one and a half
to three feet long, stripped of tbelr
leavee and smaller twigs, carried to
the water and floated to the cache,
where they are sunk. And bere come
a very curious point
These sticks are floated to tbe cache
and are sunk by the beaver to tbe bot
tom of tbe water, where tbey remain
without any apparent anchorage. Tbey
are not stack la tbe mod of tbe bot
tom or held down by weights. If
you lift one to tbe surface It will
float bat you may move It about 00
the bottom without Its rising.
I have myself tried this with sticks
from which the berk has been eaten,
bat have never done so with tbe green,
.apeeled limbs before tbe bearers had
taken them into tbelr bouses. This
matter to me Is a very mysterious one.
aad I have never been able to get any
hint as to bow these sticks were sunk.
All through tbe winter tbe beavers
Thdt these racbes, carry the sticks to
tbelr hooees, where they eat off tbe
hark, retnrnlng the hare sticks to the
water.
n-uMUukes It may happen that for
some reason or ether the cache may
net eeexala enough to lest the whole
winter. In this rase tbe beavers. If

THE DEEPSEA DIVER
Perils Against Which the Modern
Expert Must Guard.
PROTECTING HIS AIR TUBE.
This Is His Chlsf Care While Delving
In the Debris of Sunken Wreoke.
Traglo Debut of John Day, a Clever
but Ignorant Old Timer.
A great deal of water has run under
the bridge since. In tbe month of June,
1774, John Day made bis fatal debut
as a diver In Plymouth sound. Day,
a clever but Ignorant millwright, had
laid numerous wagers that, confined In
a water tight box and provided with a
candle, food and drink, he would re
main submerged at any depth for
twelve hours. His plan was that the
box should be fastened by screws
from within to a vessel subsequently
sunk and that when the iilloitei time
had elapsed he. should withdraw tbe
screws and rise to the surface. His
mad scheme was actually put Into ex
ecution on June 22, and Day, as might
have been expected, lost his life. Not
the least extraordinary part of tbe af
fair is that, while be was warned how
the pressure of the water would affect
his box and greatly Increased Its
strength In consequence, no one seems
to have so much as hinted at tbe dan
ger of his death from want of air.
The diver who goes down today to
salve the contents of a sunkeu wreck,
recover a dropped torpedo or execute
some submarine erection or repairs has
better knowledge of the necessary
risks be runs and the precautions by
which he may avoid all needless dan
ger at bis work than bad poor Day.
Science, mindful of tbe great Increase
of pressure brought about by every
foot that be descends beneath the sur
face of tbe sea, warns blm to go slow
ly down the stepladder that bangs
from the ship's side or the dock wall
and to pause frequently as he does so,
that he may grow accustomed to tbe
Increase by degrees. By this means
a man lit for tbe work, sound of heart
and free from apopletlc tendencies
passes with little Inconvenience from
the moderate pressure of eight pounds
per square inch, which surrounds him
at a depth of twenty feet to that of
sixty-five pounds, which he must sus
tain after descending 190 feet the
greatest depth at which bis work can
be considered safe.
Once landed at tbe bottom of the sea
the direr has a host of things to bear
to mind. Weighted as he is with brass
soled boots, copper helmet and often a
treble eet of underclothing below bis
diving suit of twill and rubber, the
tendency to rise is yet so great that his
powers of action are very limited. lie
can lift a comparatively heavy weight
with ease; the attempt to pull down
some trifling piece of wreckage from
overhead will probably take blm off his
feet Beaders"of Kobert Louis Steven
son will remember bow wbeta, dreeeed
in full deep eea costume, be accom
panied a diver to his work tbe novel
ist was able to bop with ease upon the
summit of a rock some six feet high.
But descend again bo could not His
companion hauled him off bead down
ward and propped him on bis feet "like
an intoxicated sparrow." Even for
such an apparently simple piece of
work as drilling a bole In a rock or
portion of a wreck tho diver will per
haps need to prop himself against a
stone or make himself secure by lash
ings to tbe object upon which be
works.
The great danger against wblcb the
diver must be ever on hie guard Is that
of getting bis air tube entangled In tbe
debris of a wreck no difficult matter
aa be creeps In and out of cabin, engine
room and bold, among a broken and
distorted mass of wood and Iron. He
may have been moving In one direc
tion, all unconscious tbat be la being
helped by a strong current, until be
presently attempts to turn and finds It
vain. It Is not tbe deep sea diver only
who runs this risk. Some years since a
diver was at work in twenty feet of
water repairing some dock gates. 11
Job finished, be gave tbe signal to tbe
boat above to dose tbe gates tnsc n.
might see If all worked welt - Tbe rush
of maoy tons of water as the nesvy
eratos swung to swept blm between and
through them. In a flash bo realized
tbat bis air pipe would bo caught
between tbe massive doors and at
tbe same moment saw bis only chance
for life.- He throat bis heavy hammer
bead between tbe cloalng Bates, and
this kept bis pipe free till be could
signal for tbem to be reopened
Tbe old method of commonleatJoa
botweea tbe diver and bis helpers st
tbe surface was by means of togs upon
the tlae, but nowadays tbe telephone
or perhaps a speaking robe aceompa
nlss the skr pipe at his side. And,
thoega many divers etSU work In tbe
aomparattve darkness, both ofl and
otoctrlctty will shed tbelr light upon
the scene If need arise.

FALL PLOWinu.
Fsoilltat.s Work In the 8prlng and
Improves Scd Ded.
While little definite Investigation h.-is
been carried on to determine the rein
tire value of rpring nml fall plowing,
yet the practice 011 ni.'.n? of our west
ern ranches is to get us much ns pos
sible of the land !a be seeded In the
spring plowed during the fall. This
foresight is considered especially es
sential lu lirrakiiijr new pi-miml. Of
course In the urld reglun of the country
It Is dllliculi to plow l.i ll,e fall. a:ij
some farmers leave the work uiitll
spring In order that th? land may le
plowed much more easily after the
snows aud spring rain:;. One advan
tage In full plor.ing la that It opens up
the soil mi,! admits the moisture from
tbe fall and spiin rains and winter
snows more easily.
Iu some cases, however, quite us
good mulls are Rallied from leavln.-;
the stubble on the gi-nuiul throughout
tho winter. A lorn; stubMe tends to
prevent the Mfw from blowing and
accumulates (;.: i.'.rraliie moisture lu
the soli. Our i:i i:nd l.eet fields are
dug up so ravc'i thai t'ley Ho not need
autumn i 'kju !n;. and n.ili fields are
always In the bet in the spring.
One distinct ndvnnliw la fall plowing
Is that It fiul'lMtes work lu the spring
and tends lo letter preparation of the
seed he! at ihat tin:,'.
If areas must lie !mvod In the
spring the work Is crowded ,nnd not
enoug'j iiiti :i;l"ii I. jrjvcn by way of
preparing the seed bed. Our uprlncs
vary, and frequently It Is quite late
before farming operations can liegln.
It is therefore a decided advantage to
have the ground plowed In the full In
order Unit It may bo worked up rapid,
ly In the spring with the disks and
barrows. Another advantage for fail
plowing Is that It affords a good means
of disposing of tho manure. As soon
as tbe grain Is cut and wben It Is
standing In shock manure may be dis
tributed orcr the field and as soon as
the thrashing Is done can be plowed
under.
The precipitation of the succeeding
months bents down tbe soil and so
tends to bring about decomposition In
the manure. If the manure is left and
plowed under In the spring It fre
quently lies In strawy bunches and in
terferes with tbe rise of moisture
Utter. Tbe observations In many sec
tions Indicate that tbe very best way
to dispose of manure Is to get It on
the ground and plow It down In tbe
fall. Our modern traction plows and
the Introduction of tbe disk plow have
done much to simplify fall and winter
plowing In this country. It frequently
occurs that we have a good rain or a
snowstorm, after wblcb the plowing
can be done quite readily.
The Waugh Plum.
For many years tbe curcullo and va
rious other pests made tbe culture of
tbe plum practically unprofitable to
a exurm or waopa rt-una
America. Of late years, however, tbe
insects destructive to this admirable
fruit have become less plentiful, and
now there have been Introduced so
many kinds tbat are proof against the
ravages of tbe plague that tbe plum
Is fast resuming Its original Impor
tance as a garden aad orchard fruit,
rinm culture baa already reached a
high stage of development on tbe Pa
cific coast and since tbe new varie
ties from Japan made tbelr appear
ance tbe number of growers all over
tbe country has Increased greatly.
Tbe modern plum to a great lmrove
meat over tbe old fashioned fruit of
half century ago. Soma of tbe
hybrids recently brought to public no
tice by American growers bid fair to
become prim, favorites. Among tbe
most promising of these Is tbe Waugh,
g plant which has stood tbs test re
markably well and hi In every respect
g desirable acquisition.
Saving Waste La4.
The people of Denmark are fast re
claiming their waste land by tbe labor
mt Msvlrta. In Jutland there Is a
bug undeveloped territory of almost
barren waste covered wits n toogn,
heathv undei-rowth. The government
sets tbe prisoners st work breaking up
tbe toogn aarface ana putting it mm
shape for farming. Even then tbe land
as at first af very low grade, and It Is
given sway to settlers who care to
tike poeerealon.
. Thmcrti their efforts msny farms
have begun to dot tbe Jutland land
scape, aad trees are area where for
sterly were unbroken stretches of bar
ren hind. Uany a err. of good grain

CARE OF THE FOAL
I
Wean Slowly, Feed Liberally and Han
die the Animal Before Weaning.
The most suitable way to. w ean a
foal Is to begin to keep himTrom his
dam two or three hours daily, lncreas
1 Ing the time till they are together from
about 0 p. in. to about t) a. m., Anally
parting them some morning or some
evening."
A dally feed of crushed oats mingled
wttb a little chopped hay and bran
given to the foal a week or two before
weaning wilt soon teach him to be In
dependent of the mother, but care must
be taken not to allow tbe mare to have
access to the manger while the foal ts
eating. She would probably eat it her
self. Before tbe foal Is weaned It Is Im
portant that It should have been ban
died. To get a foal haltered, taught to
be led about and to be able to handlo
It, lift Its fcot up, etc., without Its of
fering any-resistance Is a work that
Involves n certain amount of time, but
the time spent now Is time saved when
the foal Is old enough to be broken hi.
If the foal meets with un accident or
falls a victim to some of the numerous
aliments to which horseflesh Is liable,
a foal wblcb bos lieeu handled Is far
easier to doctor than one which has
never been touched.
After mure and foal bare been final
ly separated the foal may lie kept In a
loose box, out of tho bearing of other
horses If possible., for two 6r three
days, aud It may then bo turned out In
tbe daytime and fetched up at night
A font's future dopends a great deal
on how It Js treated during the first
winter of Its existence; therefore to do
full Justice it Is essential that It should
be lilierally but not lavishly fed from
weaning time till the time arrives the
following spring to turn away into
some luxurlunt pasture for the sum
mer. To keep a foal on short commons
with the idea of reducing the cost of
the keep Is, according to the old say
ing, cent wUo and dollar foolish.
Konls luvuriubly do best when tbey
have company, and If two or three
foals can lire together so much tbe bet
ter. Before they are turned out In the
morning they may have a feed of
crushed oats, chopped hay and bran.
The same ration una lie given when
they are brought In nguln at night
with the addition of an armful of
whole hay.
An occasional linseod mash may
also bo given, as It Is lieneflclal in
kenplug the bowels open.
Two or three pieces of rock salt in
tbe manger for tbem to lick Is also a
good thing. v
After tho maro has left tbe foal steps
must bo taken to suppress the secre
tion of milk, aud with that object In
view dry fond and plenty of exercise
may be given.
A small quantity of milk may be
drawn nway dally, and rubbing tho
adder with molasses biuj also been
fouud bcuclicuil.
A dose of physic will also hasten tbe
proctitis, but It should to withheld if
possible, csitevtolly If the mure to In

8tanchion for Ringing Hogs.
There Is a difference of opinion about

soon aa tbe rings are adjusted tbe
stanchion Is opened and tbe bog per
