THE SOUL'S
A fool he was, and he took his Soul
Within his Hollow hands;
He took his Soul and smoothed its calm,
And loosed its strained bands.
" '0, Soul!' he cried, 'you bear the stain
Of chain-gyves interwove!
tWho did this thin)??' The Soul replied:
'It was the friend I love.'
'0. Soul, you have a flaming brand
Burned on your nakedness!
Who did this thinK5" The Soul replied:
That was a pure caress.'
BETHUEL
Y
By Xj. J- BATES.
OK BOUT seventy years ago
k the Barsands, with three
0 3 o other families from west
H Ss'evn New York, began, a
SfOr new settlement in one of
the then new Northwestern States.
Bethuel Barsand was a strong man,
forty years old, one of the "grip-tight,
Iiold-fast" breed, well fitted to hew
a civilized farm from the savage wil
derness, except that he was no hunter
or woodsman merely a hard-working,
eelf-trained farmer-mechanic. lie- did
not even own a rifle, which most pio
neers consider the primal necessity.
But an ancient flint-lock musket, cap
tured from the British by his father
In one of the Canada border campaigns
of the War of 1S12, served his needs.
; Mrs. Barsand was a strong woman,
one of the tireless pioneer home-makers.
In a new country, where nothing
could be bought and everything had
to be home-made.vthe women, no less
than the men, had to be strenuous.
1 For many weeks, however, Mrs. Bar
eand had been compelled to rest two
hours every alternate day, huddled
over a fire with ague chills. She cheer
fully said this gave her system a nec
essary chance to pause and consider
itself. The ague was slowly wearing
toff, for it was now late summer, and
the first frosts of autumn usually end
ed malaria for the year.
While languidly eating her supper of
plump wild pigeon, floating in its
nourishing broth, hot johnny-cake and
butter, luscious wild blackberries with
cream, and a fragrant wild herb tea,
supposed to be remedial for chills, pre
pared by her daughter Marian, Mrs.
Barsand remarked, tentatively:
"I believe I should feel well as ever
If I could have three or four meals of
real meat. Just think, Bethuel, we've
been here over a year, and in all that
time Ave haven't tasted a bit of real
meat except salt pork."
"Why, ma!" said Jason, a sturdy boy
Of fifteen. "Why, wre've had venison,
bear, coon, rabbit, squirrel, wild tur
key, partridge, quail", wild pigeon, wild
duck and five or six kinds of fish, till
we're almost tired."
' "All these are only game; they're not
real meat, such as ma means," said
Marian.
"Let me kill a chicken or pig for you,
tiear," said Bethuel, eagerly.
"No, I don't crave chicken or pig, and
We can't afford to kill chickens or pigs
this year. Maybe it's only a sick ap
petite, but I keep thinking how good
that bear ham was which Mr. Crumly
gave ns last fall, and I wondered if
you could spare time to go bear-hunting
and get us some. Next thing to beef
steak, it seems to me bear steak would
do me most good, and come nearest to
real meat. I know you probably
couldn't get a pound of beef or mutton
If you should search every settlebent
within a hundred miles. Settlers in
a new country don't kill any stock so
long as it can be of any other use, and
not even pork till late November."
"Why, Harriet, you know I'd spend
time hunting for anything you think
you'd like. Bear isn't generally thought
at all like beef, but your craving it is a
good sign it shows your ague is quit
ting; it's a sign that bear ham is what
jqu ought to have, and have it you
shall. But don't be disappointed if I
fail to get it right off. 'Tisn't quite
the bear-hunting season yet, but in a
Week or two we'll have 'em coming
right here after green corn. A man
may hunt and hunt, and not see a bear
in a month, though they're all about,
unless he meets one by accident
which generally happens when he'd
rather not and hasn't any gun."
At daybreak Barsand entered the
woods with his old musket loaded for
bear seven buckshot on top of nearly
an ounce of rifle powder! Barsand al
ways overloaded, and his idea was that
bear required an especially big charge.
Where to look Barsand did not know.
'At first he wandered aimlessly about
the clearing. Then he remembered
that bears like blackberries, and he
went off to where an old windfall
made a large opening in the forest. It
Tvas piled with fallen trees and brush,
and thickly bordered with tall black
berry bushes loaded with ripe fruit.
Surely there should be bears here, and
there would have been if Barsand had
come earlier. A number had break
fasted here at daylight, and retired
after sunrise to doze away the hot
hour-?, rerhaps it a uog naa searcneu
the great piles of brush logs in the
windfall he might have started a bear
or two; but Barsand discovered JlQtU
ins larger than rabbits, -
WOUNDS.
M '0, Soul, a fissure shows your heart ' -'
Like wound of bloody sword! ,
Who did this thing?' The Soul replied:
'That was a friendly word!"
" 'O, Soul, you shrink within my hand,
1 scarce see where you be!
Who did this thing?' The Soul replied:
'A woman pitied me.'
"The Fool laid down his Soul and wept,
And knelt him down beside;
He soothed and questioned all the night,
No Soul of him replied."
BARSAND'S
BEAR HUNT.
Next he went to a ravine, where
there were wild plums just ripening.
Bears had been there, as even a green
horn could see. There were big foot
prints on a patch of sand; but Bar
sand could not trace them, or judge
how fresh the tracks were, or where
they went.
He next visited a huckleberry
swamp, where he wandered about a
long time. Only a few huckleberries
were ripe, but bears are fond of them,
and the swamp looked to be a good
place for bears. But he found none,
and ceasing to expect bears, he sat
down to lunch.
Before him was a small, shallow pool
a dozen feet across, dotted with little
weedy hummocks. Beyond the pool
thick patches of huckleberry bushes,
taller than a man, covered thirty tree
less acres.
While Barsand was eating, two bears
emerged from behind the huckleberry
thicket in front of him across the pool!
They appeared so suddenly and silent
ly that Barsand sat and stared. The
two were playing with a frog, which
tried to escape into the pool. One bear
pinned the sprawler lightly under a
fore paw, while both grinned to see
the victim squirm. The first bear lift
ed his paw, and the frog leaped.
Down came the paw, but missed,
and the other bear caught the leaper
with his teeth by one hind leg, where
at the first bear struck angrily at the
second. This made the second bear
stand up and growl, with the frog
dangling comically from his mouth.
Barsand laughed; and immediately
the two bears stood like statues, peer
ing at him.
Barsand now suddenly remembered
his gun. He grabbed.it, aimed and fired
as quickly as his confused faculties
would work. The overloaded musket
belched like a volcano. Barsand
nearly turned a backward somersault;
a cloud of smoke rolled across the pool.
Both bears yelped and vanished.
Barsand rose slowly and dubiously,
and felt of his right shoulder, as if to
reassure himself that it was still there.
Finding it merely bruised, but not
kicked completely away, he picked up
his musket and examined it, to see if
it was burst anywhere. It was not.
Then he was recalled to the bear busi
ness. Something was struggling and groan
ing behind the huckleberry thicket
across the pool. Terkaps he had a
bear! Without pausing to reload, or
even to go round the pool, Barsand
dashed recklessly through it, stepping j
upon its reedy hummocks. The third
hummock turned under his foot, which
slipped into the water, and he sank
knee-deep in mud. He fell forward;
the musket fitew to the firm ground be
yond the pool; his hands plunged over!
wrists into the mud, and he was soaked
from feet to head. He laughed as if
amused at another's blundering mis
hap, saying to himself:
"Well, of all the fool performances I
ever saw, that was the worst!" !
As he struggled up, his hands pulled
out of the mud with difficulty, and his
feet sank as they felt his weight. In
a moment he found that he could not
pull out either foot; any effort only
sank them deeper. He did not laugh
now. but realized his peril with a
thrill of fear. Alone, without hope of
rescue! His family would not know
where to look for him. Fast bogged
beside a swamp infested by wolves and
wildcats, he was doomed to death un
less he could free himself before night
fall! Barsand now lay flat, breast down,
and stretched, reaching for the near
est bushes. He touched one. rulling
it bent others toward him. Soon he
had a grip on several stout enough to
bear the strain of a strong pull. By
skilful effort he was able gradually to
straighten his legs and feet, gaining
enough toreaeh more and larger bush
es. With his knife he cut bundles of
brush, and thrust them under his body
and legs as far down as he could reach,
until he sank no more, besides having
some support to help his body muscles
pull. Thus, inch by inch, he drew for
ward, his movements making the wa
ter somewhat soften the dense mud.
But this was very slow work, requir
ing a nice balance and much patient
repetition.
By and by a new peril interrupted.
A large moccasin snake one of the
most venomous of American serpents
appeared in the pool, swimming across
directly toward Barsand, who wriihed
partly about and tried to scare off the
terrible intruder with a busa. But
moccasin snakes are densely stupid
and persistent creatures. It stopped,
looked, proceeded and stopped again,
barely a yard from Barsand's face.
With great caution and nerve he slid
the large end of a stick under its mid
dle, gave a quick, violent flirt, and
flung the writhing horror forty feet
away. It did not appear again; but
for a long time he fairly sweated with
a miserable fear lest the silent death
should steal upon him from some un
guarded quarter, perhaps swimming
beneath the surface of the muddied
water, where no vigilance of his could
detect its approach.
It was sunset when Barsand finally
drew himself out upon land firm
enough to walk on. ills whole soul
sang thanksgiving, which he had no
time to express then. First he cleaned
himself of the clinging mire, using
water from the pool. His powder hav
ing kept dry in its horn, he reloaded
his musket, not too heavily this time.
Then he went to look for his bear, hav
ing heard no sounds from the thicket.
Barsand found one bear dead, big
enough to weigh quite two hundred
pounds. It took him some time to dis
embowel the game. Then he partly
dragged, partly carried the carcass
round the pool to. the solid ground of
the forest, intending to take it home if
it required hours of toil. But it was
the slipperiest, worst weight to man
age he had ever attempted, and his
right shoulder was painfully lame; and
the way was rough, and night had fall
en, and he was very tired. Moreover,
ominous sounds were rising from the
swamps the screams of wildcats, the
howling of wolves, and other savage
cries.
By the time he had made a furlong
by a series of exhausting lugs, a fierce
outburst of snarls told him that wolves
and lynxes were fighting over the en
trails of the bear, and soon he heard
others prowling all about him in the
woods. He might now skin the bear,
and carry away the skin and hams,
perhaps, but he was determined not
to yield any part of the prize which
had cost him so much. He wanted it
all, especially its valuable fat.
Luckily Barsand carried a spare flint
for his musket and a bit of punk.
With these he struck a fire, which
bid zed in a bed of dry leaves. Pres
ently he had a great dry log on fire.
He meant to stay there all night beside
his bear if he had to, although he knew
his family must be now growing anx
ious about him.
The fire soon began to run through
the woods over the thin carpet of dry
leaves. By the time an acre was light
ed, every wild creature had fled to
swamps, marshes and damp places.
Forest fires were light in those times.
They did not harm to green trees or
bushes, because the forests were regu
larly burned over every year, allowing
no accumulations of inflammable ma
terial. Circles about the settlers' clear
ings had already been burned early in
the season.
Having rested long enough to regain
some of his spent strength, Barsand
resolutely lugged his bear a third of a
mile farther, in several separate efforts
so exhausting as almost to discourage
even his obstinate will. While sitting
to recuperate again, he thought he
heard a far-off faint shout. Rising, he
heard it again plainly, answered it,
and was answered; and presently Ja
son and the dog Sharp came running
to him.
The family had become uneasy at
sunset. When the twilight faded into
dark, Mrs. Barsand grew nervous.
They all had proper faith in Barsand's
ability to take care of himself, yet
they all .gradually worked themselves
into an unusual worry. Finally Jason
thought of trying if Sharp would
track his master, since the dog had
shown so much disappointment when
refused permission to accompany him.
Arming himself with a light axe and
a tin lantern with a venison tallow
dip candle, the boy set out, holding
the dog in leash with a buckskin
thong; Sharp took scent and followed
his master's trail about the clearing,
until it turned off to go to the black
berry patch. Here Jason saw in the
sky the glow of the fire, and correctly
reasoning that it must have bene set
by his father, hurried straight for it.
A few minutes of work" with the axe
sufficed to cut two long poles, to fasten
their butts a foot apart and their
tops a yard apart, with four cross
sticks, and to tie the bear firmly up
on them. Lifting the butts and let
ting the limber tops trail on the
ground, the two dragged the weight at
a moderate walk. By midnight they
had the carcass homo safely htir.g
up.
Each of their three neighbors re
ceived a gfnerons gift of bear meat.
The skin and a liberal supply of "bear
grease" were a valuable acquisition for
Barsand, besides makiug him the be
ginning of a reputation as a hunter.
Mrs. Barsand, fed on bear steaks,
missed all but a mere hint of her next
chill, and became within a fortnight
as healthy as she had ever been; and
in a month Jason could relate more
about bears than any natural history
yet printed. Youth's Companion.

Preparing Land For Alfalfa.
It. J. C, Franklin, writes: "I have
about three acres of land which I de
sire to seed in alfalfa. For the past
four years I have been seeding this
down to crimson clover in the fall,
turning this under in the spring and
planting corn. The land is medium
stiff with clay subsoil. I would like
your advice how to proceed to get the
land in alfalfa. I have another piece
of land that has only been in cultiva
tion since last year. Last year it was
seeded to cowpeas and in the fall to
crimson clover, wheat, rye and oats.
Would you advise seeding this loud to
alfalfa?"
Answer It would be well for you to
turn under the crimson clover on the
land intended for alfalfa, plow it down
deeply, work carefully, and seed to
cowpeas as soon as possible. IMow un
der these about the first of September,
and subsoil at the same time, going
down as deeply as possible behind the
turning plow. You can not get too
much vegetable matter and nitrogen
in the soil for alfalfa nor make the
land too rich. When you sow the cow
peas you might make an application
of 200 pounds of sixteen per cent, acid
phosphate and fifty pounds of muriate
of potash, and repeat this application
when you seed the alfalfa. Sow at the
rate of twenty pounds of seed, and in
oculate either by soil or artificial cul
tures as you see fit. After the alfalfa
is up a light application of nitrate of
soda, say, fifty pounds per acre, "will
be beneficial. Do not clip or pasture
the alfalfa during the fall. If a good
stand is obtained it may be cut for hay
the next year when just coming into
bloom. If it seems sickly and is yel
lowish in appearance, clip frequently
throughout the summer.
The other piece of land which you
intend to put in alfalfa should be
treated somewhat the same. If it is
poor it is hardly worth while to sow
alfalfa on it until it has been made
rich and freed of weeds, for weeds con
stitute one of the most serious draw
backs to alfalfa culture. If you do
seed to alfalfa sow the cowpeas at
once and plow them under and treat as
already outlined. If conditions are un
favorable for seeding in the fall it
would be better to again sow the land
to crimson clover, or some other win
ter growing legume and break up early
in the spring and seed the alfalfa at
that time. If the ground is dry and
the season backward the alfalfa wiil
not germinate and make a good stand
before cold weather comes on, and it is
hardly worth while to seed it, as it will
be almost certain to result in failure.
Professor Soule.
Inociilnii"s Iand For Cowpeas.
E. A. S., Richmond, Va., writes: I
would like some suggestions as. to what
would be the "best way to inoculate
GOO acres for cowpeas.
Answer: Teas often do fairly well
without inoculation, as the seed is
large and very often covered with
the bacteria which produce the nodules
for this particular crop. When' grown
on poor land the first year, however,
they are likely to show a large number
of nodules, and therefore inoculation
is a matter of some considerable con
cern. We would be glad to send you
the inoculating material from the sta
tion if it wore possible for so large an
area, but it would cost you consider
able, and it is likely that you could ar
range to get a few leads of earth from
a field which grew the peas success
fully last year, but you should be cer
tain that the peas formed a large num
ber of nodules. Get about 200 pounds
of earth for each acre you intend to
sow in peas and mix with the seed and
drill together, or you could broadcast
the earth over the land and then go
ahead and seed thr peas. One hun
dred pounds o'f earth are often consid
ered sufficient, but it is better and
safer, as a rule, to use 200 pounds.
You could probably get the earth at a
lower cost than we could furnish you
the material, and it is doubtful if we
could undertake to furnish enough for
COD acres, as the demand on us for
small amounts is very great, and we
are having groat difficulty in getting
out enough bacteria for the principal
leguminous crops to supply the needs
of the small farmer. Soil inoculation
is safe ami is recognized as effective
and under the circumstances I feel
justified in advising strongly the im
portance of inoculating your land for
black peas. Andrew M. Soule.
Destroying Sassafras Spronts.
W. I. C. Ster.-artsvilie, writes: "i
would like to know bow to kill sassa
fras sprouts. ,1 ued lime and have
succeeded in getting red clover on
part of it, but the sassafras seems to
trot thicker each rear. 1 have heard
that common salt would kill the stuff,
and I fear if 1 put if o:i thick enough
to kill the sasafras it would kill the
trees."
Answer The most effective method
of destroying sassafras sprouts that
has come to uiy attention is through
X
the use of a very heavy strong plow
that can be run at a depth of ten or
twelve inches in the soil so as to ef
fectually get under the roots and tear
them out and bring them to the sur
face. If necessary put on four mules,
and run the plow so as to cut and tear
the roots loose in the soil. Then, if
you will run a heavy harrow over the
land, or, better still, some form of cul
tivator that has curved teeth on the
same principle used in many corn cul
tivators, you will be able to gather the
roots together in bunches on top of the
ground, and after allowing them to
dry awhile you can burn and destroy
them effectually. Of all the methods
I have ever seen and tried this , has
proven to be the most satisfactory,
and I am sure it will work well under
proper conditions, for I have seen a
number of fields literally infested with
sassafras cleaned up as suggested.
Lime and salt will not destroy sassa
fras roots from what I know of this
pest, and I agree with you in believing
that if enough lime were used to be of
service that it would be more or less
likely to injure the trees growing on
the land A. M. Soule.
Improving Corn by Selection of Seed.
II. C. R., Claxton, writes: I would
like to know what you think of the
value of seed selection for corn.
Answer: There is no doubt but. that
the yield of corn can be increased
through judicious selection so as to ob
tain a strain that will be more prolific
than many varieties now grown. In
experiments I have made I have noted
that where 8000 stalks were planted fo
the acre not more than G000 ears were
sometimes harvested; whereas, in,
other plats with an equal number of
stalks as many as 9300 ears were har
vested. It is easy to see, therefore,
that some varieties are more prolific
than others, and as a matter of fact,
there are quite a number of stalks in
practically all corn fields which are
barren. These stalks are large enough
to produce a heavy ear and would of
ten do if the variety were selected so
as to avoid any sterile stalks. Corn
breeding may be compared in impor
tance to animal breeding; just as strik
ing and valuable results can be ob
tained by giving care to selecting de;
sirable strains of corn as have resulted
in the systematic effort to develop a
trotter of phenomenal speed in Amer
ica. The analogy in the two instances
is complete and would answer your
question as fully as pages of facts of
similar importance. Professor Soule.
tow Headed Tree.
The old style orchard was often high
headed, with the Hnbs well up out of
the way. The idea was to train the
tree so high that teams could be driv
en under and to keep the limbs above
the reach of cattle. Now that these
items are of loss importance to most
orchardists the tendency is in the op
posite direction, until J. II. Hale asks
pertinently: "What's the use of a trunk
anyway?" It may be said in favor of
the low down tree that the fruit may
be picked at considerably less cost and
is not so likely to be blown off by the
wind. Spraying is also less difficult.
It is in many ways the better tree for
those who do not cultivate directly
under large trees and who keep cattle
away from the orchard. In a row of
the summer apples the trees were cut
back much shorter than in many or
chards, consequently the limbs are
sturdy enough to hold the fruit with
out bending. These trees averaged
about four cases to the tree. The trees
branch out about eight or ten inches
from the ground.
Keep DncklliiRS Dry.
It is claimed that the Pekin duck
will thrive well without ponds. It is
true that . the ducklings can be more
easily raised away from ponds or
streams than when allow d to have ac
cess thereto, but this is due to the fact
that most of the ducklings are hatched
with incubators during the winter sea
son, when the cold waters of the pond
would chill them and cause loss.
Young ducks will thrive better if they
are kept away from the ponds until
they are we'd feathered, but despite all
claims in favor of the Tekin ducks as
being adapted to dry locations, my ex
perience is that the adult ducks are
more contented when they have a
pond. Like all aquatic birds, theyen
joy the water, and they will thrive on
an open field away from water (ex
cept for drinking), yet they give the
best results when they have the privil
eges of a pond.
