BEYOND.

It seemeth a little way to me ! Across that strange country, the Beyond; : A And yvet not strange, for it has grown to be The home of those of whom I am most fond., : They make it seem familiar and most dear, s journeying friends bring distant coun- ‘? tries near. i

Bo close it lies that when my sight is clear I think I see the gleaming of the strand: I know, I feel that those who’ve gone from here, . Come near enough to touch my hand;: . T often think, but for our veiled eyes, We should find Heaven right around us lies. ; -

I cannot make it seem a day to dread When from this dear earth I shall journey out To that still dearer country of the dead, And join the lost ones so long dreamed about. S I love this world, yet shall Ilove to go And meet the friends who wait for me, I know.

I never stand about a bier and see - The seal of death on some well-beloved face, But that I think: *“One more to welcome . me When I shall cross the intervening space Between this land and that one over there; One more to make the strange Beyond { . seem fair.”

And so for me-there is no sting to death, And so the grave has lost its victory; It is but crossing with dcep, bated breath And white, set face, a little strip of sea, Tofind the loved ones waiting on the shore, More heautiful, more precious, than before. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox, in Chicago Ad- ‘ vance.

Little L LY Jephtha Hounds, his cousin, is six feet two inches tall, and weighs perhaps 250 pounds. Big: éephtha, Hounds is 82 years old, Little FJephtha is 20 years younger. . . To emphasize the anomaly, Little Jephtha Hounds, the six-footer, was never anything but a retiring, entirely unobtrusive person, content with his fiddle, his little farm and his glass of sweet cider in the kitchen before going to bed. He never owned a gun, he never spent a day in the lumber woods, he never was one night away from home in his life. Whereas DBig Jephtha Hounds, with his five feet of stature -and his 100 or so pounds of weight, steered a raft from pretty near the headwaters clear to Pittsburgh before - he was 22, and never struck so much as a snag. . That same season he whipped Injin Ben, who had whipped pretty much everybody on the Brokenstraw. Cider wasn’t good enough for Big Jephtha, unless it was terribly hard and plenty of it. Rum and tansy was his favorite tipple. He would take a bear track on a Moniday and follow that track night and day until the following Monday, if he didn’t get the bear sooner. If the bear led him a chase longer than that he would say he didn’t ‘want it, because a bear that kept ahead of him a week would be too much ‘“het “up” and too thin for healthful use. If a panther made its presence known anywhere in the neighborhood, Big Jephtha Hounds was the first to go out to hunt that terror down, and his success as a panther hunter was great. Long after the panthers were gone he was a terror to bears and a great slayer of deer. Twenty years ago, while on a bear hunt, he fell over a high ledgé of rocks and broke his leg. He dragged Limself four miles to the Bridge settlement, where Dr. Balcom told him that his leg would have to be amputated. ' “If that’s the best you can do,” said Big Jephtha, “cut her off.” The doctor cut the leg off below the kruee, and Big Jephtha watched him do it without a quiver. Little Jephtha was there to see what he could do to help Big Jephtha during the ordeal, but when the doctor began the operation Little Jephtha fainted dead away, and they had to carry him out of the room. Big Jephtha was around on crutches in a month or so, and by and by he got a wooden leg. He was just as full of snap as ever, and declared he ‘wouldn’t hesitate a minute to go after #a deer or bear just the same as of old, but he’d “be darned if he thought he could stand seein’ bears he might be follerin’ turn ’round and laugh at Big

Jephtha Hounds for carryin’ a clog.” 1t is the custom of bear trappers to fasten a wooden cjlo:g to their traps, and frequently when a bear is trapped he will prove smart enough to pick the clog up and carry it. Big Jephtha compared himself and his wooden leg to a bear carrying a clog. About that time they built the Miller’s creek toll bridge, and a tolltaker was necessary. They chose Big Jephtha Hounds for the place, built him a snug little house at ihe end of the bridge, and there he has sat for nearly %) years, taking toil and telling stories of his long life in the woods. There I visited him, and there he said to me as abovet: i : ‘ “I’'m sorry you wasn’t here 60 years - ngo and better. Then you'd a know'd for yourself about things that made the woods lively. Now, for deer, yes, ~ There’s quite a smatterin’ o’ deer in -the woods, and seems to me as if bear dlon’t git no scarcer. Bui they're wis_domer, Consid'rable much wisdomer. Now, 14 used to be that you could go

out and circumvent around ‘most anywheres and git the best of a bear, but I notice you can’t do it no more. No, gir, you can’t. Fact of the matter is, a bear’ll circumvent around and git the best o’ you, if you don’t look out. Yes, £ir, he will. Every time, ’most. Panthers? No, sir. Notone left, and hain’t keen one in the whole spread o’ the state for 40 years and more. Yit, I Lkilled nine one year so nigh where I'm gettin’ at this moment that if you was there I wouldn’t have to holler very loud for you to hear me. Panthers was plenty then, and good reason for it. There was fun for ’em in the woods, because deer was plenty. And there wasn’t only fun for the panthers—there was fun for the hunters. We didn’t have toram powder and lead for nothin’ in those days. Seemed as if the deer was huntin’ you. It wouldn't o’ been sufe to bet that you could walk threee rciles either side o’ the creek without seein’ from three to nine deer. Neighbors wasn’t so comsider’ble nigh together 60 years ago 'mongst these hills, and most o’ the roads was trees blazed | this way and that way through the woods. : ; |

“One day—l think it was in the fall o’ ’35; yes, I know it was, ’cause little Jephtha Hounds was iwo years oid that very day, an’ I was goin’ on an errand jist on account of it—Uncle Jeph= tha says: ‘Better take your gun along an’ bring in a saddle of venison.” So I took my gun along, an’ I remember the day so parti~llar 'cause 12 deer jumped up almost under my feet in the four mile I was goin’. 1f I'd been huntin’ ¥’d o’ killed the whole 12 0’ em, but as 1 was goin’ on an errand I only knocked over and L:ung up six o’ ’em.

“It’s an honest fact and [ don't believe you’d think a man with only one leg would tell a lie—ilLat deer was so consider'ble thick 60 years age that 1t was a common thing for a fcller to blaze away in the woo s at 2 huck, and when he went in to cut its throat tind that he had knocked over a doc that he hadn’t seen at all, and mayle a fawn or two that happened to be in range. Yes, sir. Why, I done that very thing once myself, over the hill yender' on the edge of IHumpy’s pound. That rather made me shy when i was out in the woods after decr, and if I didn’t want a’lot of venison, I'd be pertic’'ler to make sure there wasn’t any more of the family of the buck I was on the point o' knocking ‘over standin’ 'round loose in the bushes. If there was !'d cdge 'round so as to get ’c:mn out o° range, and then borc a hole in the

. “Speakin’ o’ panthers, I never saw much fun in huntin’® ’em. Yet I never run out o’ the woods ’cause L heard one around. When I come to think of it, I guess I've rather sidied out 9’ my way consider’ble more’n once to see what kind o’ stuff painters had in ’em. I done a big favor for a nice fat doe once. I came onto her fast asleep in a bed o’ ferns, aud she never heard me. I stood within 20 foot of her, lookin’ her over, and considerin’ whether to wake her up and give her a chance to run, or to tickle her with a bullet as she laid there, or to let her have her nap out, when all of a sudden somethin’ dropped out of a tree jist over her head and lit on her like 2 ton o’ lead. It was a stumpin’ big paniher, and I hadn’t seen a thing of him- lot till he dropped. Whether he had got his eye on me’‘or not, I don’t know, but if he had, he hadn’t seen any reason why that should make any difference in the gittin’ of his dinner. The doe woke up mighty sudden, and no mistake. If you hadheard her holler you'd have thought some one was killia’ a calf. But the panther made a mistake if he thought my bein’ tiere wasn’'t goin’ to spoil his dinner, for he hadn’t time to set his teeth in the doe’s. throat before my old flintlock joined in the music. It sang so loud that the panther jumped 20 feet, and wher he lit he pawed up consider’ble more than a rod or two of earth, and then ceased to continue bein’ a livin’ creature. “If that doe hadn’t been scared to death she couldn’t have been broke up worse than she was over bein’ woke up so sudden. ' She stood there, shivcrin’ and shakin’. I knew that the chances was that the panther’s mate was nosin’ 'round there, and that it would laore than likely gather the doe in anyhow, 80, to save her, I turned my old flintlock on her, too, and put her out o’ danger. She never knew what a favor I had done her. But the saddles was nice and tat and juicy, an’ I took my pay out o’ them for doin’ her the favor.

7 “Yes, it's bad you wasn’t here G 0 ‘years and better. You'd a seen some fun then for sure. Good day, If you go by little Jephtha Hounds’ step in. He'll give you a tin cup of nice cider, and maybe play you ‘Money Musk’ on the fiddle.”—N. Y. Sun. ]

ABOUT FARM DAIRYING. | What Prof. Wing, of Cornell University, Thinks of It. Many think that the creamery butter is better than can be made on the farm. ’ . | Now, this is entirely erroneous. Not only is it perfectly possible to make as good butter on the farm as can be made, but is a matter of no great difficulty and ¢loes not require an expensive or elaborate equipment. The principles that govern the manufacture of g‘on‘ butter are the same in either case; ‘ their observance will result in good butter on the farm just as surely as their l neglect will result in bad butter in the factory. - That this is so is seen in the 1 fact that numerous private dairymen, ' having recognized these principles, are, getting more for their butter made up | in a small way in a private dairy than is given for the very best grades of| creamery butter. Indeed, from the fact that the private dairymen can control the cows, their feed and care, and the milk from the time it leaves the cow until the finished product goes on the ‘ market, he should be able {0 make a finer and more uniform product th:‘*n ‘ the factory man, who cannot control these important conditions. Notwith- | standing the possibilities of the case, the facts are that to-day the great mass | uf butter made on the farms is sold fbr ‘ a less price than that made in creamer- | ics. Let us look for a moment-at some ‘ ol the reasons for this condition of affairs. |

In the first place, there is a large amount of bitter made on farms that is not good to begin with, and justly should not bring any more tien it usually does. This sort of butter is made where the cows and butter making are a sort of side issue of the farm, where the milk and butter must await the demands of all the.other farm and house work before they receive attention. It is made where the maker is ignorant, careless and dirty. 'The cows ure milked at the convenience of the hired majn, and the milk is strained and put into the creamery at some indefinite time thereafter, when the hired girl gets ready. Sometimes the cream is removed in 24 hours, and some times not in four days. In hot weather the cream gets too sour, and in cold, it sometimes never gets sour at all. Itis ehurned at a temperature sometimes too low, but oftener too high, and never twice alike. The buttermilk is not completely removed, salt is added by guess, and it is 'worked by main strength till the dairy maid gets tired. During the whole process it associates ruore or less intimately with the cooked and uncooiied food in the family pantry, and the wonder is, not that it is bad, but that it is as good as it is.

ABOUT FILLED CHEESE.

The Practice of Making It Is a Very Reprehensible One. It is a fact that American cheese malkers have lost their prestige in the markets of the old world on account of the character of the product sent from this country, and Canadians have, to a great extent, taken the place thus left vacant. - : : - There is probably more filled cheese made in Illinois than in any other state inthe union, though Wisconsinisa good second. The practice of making filled cheese is a reprehensible one, and the evil is a growing one, for Chicago «ontains a long list of sinners in this respect. " If the cheese thus made could be'sold to the consumers for just what it Is, there would not be s 6 much harm in it, for he could buy it or let it alone, just as best suited him. It is due the makers of -filled cheese in Chicago to say that they make no pretense that it is full milk cheese, but make and sell it for exactly what it is; but after it leaves the hands of the maker it is palmed off as pure cheese, regularly made, and this is what gives American cheese the reputation it has abroad, and what has taken the trade away from us andgiven it gver into the hands of Canadian cheese malicers. There should be laws to make this state of affairs impossible, but so far there has been no effective movement to check the making and sale of hog-fat cheese for full cream.—Farm and Fireside. . el

FRUIT BARK BEETLE.

Aithough a Recent Importation It Has

Done Much Harm.

. This insect is comparatively new to the farmers and fruit growers of ihe United States, having been known in this country less than 20 years. It has been a serious pest to various kinds of fruit trees in Germany for over 50 yaars, and was found working upon {ruit trees in the vicinity of Elmira, N. Y., in 1877. It has gradually spread in all directions, especially through the south and central west. It was observed in large numbers in orchards in South Carolina in 1885-86, and was very destructive to fruit trees in Illinois in 1888. Two years later it was found in Indiana, and is now well established throughout the central Mississippi valley. ‘ v " My attention has been called 1o it many times during the present year, in orchards throughout central and southern Illinois. It is becoming a very rerious pest, and many orchardists and farmers are becoming greatly alarmed. It does not confine its attacks to fruit trees, but is found working cn shade and ornamental trecs as well; usually the maple, elm and mountain ash. -

The beetle will attack perfectly healthy trees, but has a decided preference for weak and sickly ones. A tree infested with this insect can be easily detected by a Mttle gareful observation. The trunk and larger branches are usually peppered full of. little round holes, about the size of a pin head, as shown in the accompanying illustration at Fig. 2. In many instances the gummy exerdation from these punctures is yvery conspicuous, standing out in bead-like masses or running down the branches and trunk. I have secn many trees, especially cherry, in this

* .\T.‘:"u i;:k;!;&f:.;;z;:‘=~ §'// N | \\\. e \ Faan Fogd condition the present season. The little beetle responsible for this mischief, is about one-tenth of an inch in length and oneithird as wide. It is nearly black in color, somewhat cy!indrical in general form, and under a glass of moderate power shows a clothing of yellowish hairs on the head and wing covers. The head is vertical and the jaws are short and stout. = The beetle is shown in Fig. 1, very much enlarged. The adult beetle after making a Lole in the tree, deposits her eggs in little grooves made in the inner park The young, that hatch from these eggs, feed upon the inner bark and sap wood, making long channels running in all directions from -the central groove. These young worms frequently become so numerous as to completely girdle the branch or trunk as the case may be. The young have no feet, and are white, with small brown heads, of the general shape shown in Fig 3. They transform in these channels, and in due time the adults eat their way out, thus making more openings similar to the ones made by the female when depositing her eggs. There are probably two broods each year. One brood deTosits its eggs in September and the insect passes the winter as larvae or worms under the bark. These transform in the spring, and begin to emerge as adults as early as the middle of March. I have also found full grown larvae the last of July. The fact that the fall broocd passes the winter in the larvae state, the first remedy that suggests itself, is the cute ting down and destruction, by burning, of all infected trees during the winter, 1 would recommend this procedure only in extreme cases or where the trees are ot no special value. An atterapt at extarmination would mean thc absolute destruction of every tree showing even the least attack. Experimentation with various sprays and washes for controling this pest has not been carried forward very rapidly.. Trees sprayed with a strong solution of Bordeaux mixture snd Paris green combined, at about aouble the strength which is generally used, have given very promising results. The first application should be made about April 1 and the sacond two weeks later. In order to be most effectual, the spraying should be done Lefore any of the characteristic marks of the insect are found upon the trees as it will be much easier to prevent the aitack than to destroy the beetles after they have once entered the tree.—Prof. W. G. Johnson, in Western Rural.

BICYCLES AND ROADS. Indirectly the Wheeling Craze Will Be of Value to Farmers. It is estimated that 500,000 bicycles will be sold the present year, to such enormous proportions has the craze for the ‘‘wheel” attained. I do not suppose that any great number of theso will go into the hands of farmers, and yet the farmer is likely to-be as greatly benefited by this piece of mechanism as any class of citizens, for while country people have for generations been dragging along over pcor, rough and muddy roads, no sooner has this great army of bicyclers arisen than there has arisen a concerted movement all over the country for better roads. Never before has public attention been so sharply drawn to this matter of wretched highways, and, what is more to the purpose, substantial progress bas been made, not only in arousing public opinion, but in actually forcing a beginning to be made in scientifie road construction. In many instances states have taken hold of the matter and are constructing state highways, while elsewhere counties have undertaken the sanme work. Nothing succeeds like success, and the experience with these new roads is sure to lead to the building of others near them, and so the good work will spread.—Practical Farmer. i ' Annual Loss from Poor Roads.

Roy Stone, governiment engineer in charge of the departmend of noad inquiry, said at the National Good Roads conference at Asbury Park last yeur that, there are about 500,000,000 tons of freight hauled over roadls every year ‘oni the United States, and 60 per cent. of the cost of doing it was due to bad ‘roads. He beHeved that the loss from | poor roads in this country would agmmmmwwm ane

Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the intlammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
