Do You Remember?
Do you renumber. little wife,
How years ago we two together
Saw naught but love Illumine life
In eunny days or winter weather?
Do you remember how we two
Would stare Into each other's eyes,
TUI all the earth grew heavenly blue,
And speech was lost in happy sighs?
Do you another thing recall,
That used to happen often then;
How, aimply passing In the hall,
We'd stop to smile and kiss again?
Do you remember how I sat
And, reading, held your hand in mine,
Caressing it with gentle pat—
One pat for every blessed line?
Do you recall while at the play
Through hours of agony we tarried?
1 lovers' griefs brought us dismay;
Oh, we rejoiced when they were mar
ried.
The
Ah. me. 'twas years and years ago
When all this happened that I sing.
And many a time the winter snow
Has slipped from olive slopes of spring.
And now—oh. nonsense; let us tell;
A flg for laugh of maids or men;
Tou'll hide your blushes? I'll not. Well—
We're ten times worse than we were
then.

A Big Land Move.
C. S. McConnell and Geo. A. Day of
the State Land office were out in Fre
mont county last week selecting lands
for the state to be taken in lieu of
worthless lands taken in the Bitter Root
country They selected 202,600 acres
lying along the east side of the valley
and on the lower bench. Some which
has been fanned has grown wheat, rye
and beets of good quality, and in one
field a binder was cutting a crop of rye
which had already yielded one cutting
which was taken off for hay. Some
tracts showed good crops without any
irrigation, and it is {he purpose of the
commissioner to see what can be done in
the way of dry farming. The lands will
be offered for lease subject to sale, and
some valuable settlements will be added
to Fremont county as well as some good
money to the state treasury. The above
named gentlemen were in Blackfoot
Thursday filing on land for the state,
and finished Friday morning.
Stevens-Carberry.
A very pretty wedding was solemnized
Wednesday at the home of A. IL Stevens.
The contracting parties were Elmer C.
Stevens and Miss Johanna Carberry.
The bride was beautifully attired in
white silk mull and carried a boquet o'
bride's roses. The groom wore the con
ventional black. The bridesmaid was
Miss Lillian Powell, and wore a pretty
costume of pink. Mr. Nels Halgeson
was best man. After the ceremony and
congratulations the guests repaired to
the dining room where an elaborate
luncheon was served. The prevailing
colors of the decorations of the table
and dining room were pink and white.

OLD TOM, THE GOLFER.
One of the Beet Known of Devotees of
tho Ancient Gama.
One of the best golfers that ever laid
out a course or drove a ball was old
Tom Morris. They called him "old"
to distinguish him from his son, who
was the most brilliant player of his
time, and to whose memory a fine
monument was erected over his grave
In St. Andrews. Once, when old Tom
was greenkeeper at Prestwick, In Ayr
shire, he took part In a foursome, his
partner being Capt. Wolfe Murray.
Next day the postman h- nded Tom a
letter simply addressed to "The Mls
ser of 8hort Putts, Prestwick." This
shows how well known Tom was, and
also what had been
his play in the match,
the question of Sunday play was
being discussed, Tom was asked
for his opinion. "Well," he
said, "if man doesna need a rest, I
ken the green does." He retired from
the post of greenkeeper o the Royal
and Ancient Club of St. Andrews at
the age of 82 years, but in spite of his
great age, played a fine game to the
very last.

Sugar a Universal Need.
"Sugar has modified the history of
Europe and of the world in more ways
than one," says a writer. "Used four
centuries ago, almost exclusively in
the preparation of medicines, and long
afterword nn article of luxury only ac
cessible to the rich, it lias by enlarged
production and cheapened manufac
ture been brought within the reach of
all. The universal use of this prac
tically pure carbohydrate, which is
not only a freely burning fuel and
proteid sparer, but a muscle food. In
creasing the power of doing work
and lessening fatigue, must have had
widespread and beneficial effects on
the general health. Especially In the
case of children, whose greed of sugar
is the expression of a physiological
want, has that food been valuable in
conducing to growth, contentment and
well-being."

The Original Telegraph.
Claude Chappe, who drowned him
self in a well on January 3 a hun
dred years ago, was described in his
time as "the inventor of the tele
graph," says the London Telegraph. It
was not the ciectrlc telegraph that
we know, of course, but a very prim
itive wireless contrivance, a sema
phore, in fact, consisting of an up
right post, a transverse bar on the
top and two arms working on pivots
at the ends of this bar. By means
of a code and the placing of a series
of these posts so that each could be
seen from the next, messages were
carried over fifty leagues in a quar
ter of an hour. The French legislative
assembly adopted the system; but in

HARNESS GALLS.
Before beginning the hard spring
work Is the time to study the cause,
treatment and prevention of injurloF
commonly known as harness galls. In
juries of this class may be due to one
or more of several causes.
Faulty harness are a common cause
of galls. Harness by being badly fit

of their hard-unpliable condition,

The collar should be made to fit the
animal, for which It is Intended, with
out padding, if possible. The use of
pads Is not to be advised on account
of thpir liability to change shape from
pressure, and also because the' pad
serves to prevent the free circulation
of air beneath the collar and the lia
bility to become foul from the
cumulation of dirt. The collar should
not be so narrow at the top as to
cause the neck to wedge, as this may
so bruise the muscles as to cause the
serious condition known as fistula.
If the collar Is too long the pressure
is brought too far down and produces
the common galls so frequently no
ticed near the point of the shoulders.
Undue pressure upon a limited area of
the skin causes the skin to die be
cause the pressure prevents the part
from receiving the right amount of
blood supply. The collar that is so
loose as to admit of a rubbing, rasp
ing movement produces the gall.
It is excellent practice to bathe the
shoulders of the work animal with
cold water when the harness are re
moved at noon and evening. In the
treatment of galls do not apply grease
of any kind, as it makes cleansing dif
ficult and serves to accumulate dirt.
In the treatment of all wounds grease
is an abomination.

INFLUENCE OF THE WIND ON
VEGETATION.
i
The influence of the wind on vege
tation has been the subject of a re
port by Prof. Fruh to Swiss geograph
ers. The effect is a powerful one,
especially on trees, and even the
presence or absence of forests may
be determined by the character of the
prevailing wind or the conditions that
modify its action. The wind acts es
pecially as a drying agent, in this
way giving a special aspect to many
plants. When the wind is almost al
ways from the same quarter, the
plants show greater development upon
one side, trees are smaller on the
windward edges of forests, and trunks
and branches are permanently bent to
leeward. The deformities are most
marked near the sea or in flat regions.
The cherry, the plum, the walnut, the
black poplar, the ash and cer
tain pines are very sensitive to the
wind, but mountain pines and certain
firs offer great powers of resistance,
and these are recommended for re
foresting wind-swept lands.

BARN CLEANING.
Every farmer should take as much
pride in a clean, well-ordered barn, as
the housewife does in her freshly
cleaned rooms.
On stormy days when the work out
side must wait, the barn cleaning
may be done; the corners, windows,
stairways, shelves and closets, where
old harness, bottles and odds and ends
of all kinds collect, should be cleared
out and the places well swept with a
stiff old brush or broom.
Then separate the useful pieces
from the rest and replace in order;
burn or bury the remainder. If boards
are loose or steps need renailing or a
knot-hole wants closing, or the
mangers, feed bins, or stall partitions
want fixing, have a saw, hammer and
nails and pieces of boards handy;
take time to do it right; don't try to
do it all in one day, but make a neat
piece of work of it.
Don't turn the colts to pasture un

This new accession to the forage
plants of the United States comes from
Japan. It may be sown from May
til July, and, with two or three good
rains, will make a large yield of
cellent hay, and, if sown early,
beans also. This plant is a great ad
dition to the number of leguminous
plants that have, within the last twen
ty years, attracted so much attention
as nitrogen-yielding plants. The soy
bean is probably richer in nutrition
than any of them. It is a prolific
bearer, and as much as twenty to thir
ty bushfels of beans per acre are not
uncommon on good land.

Kansas and the Northwest. The value
of this bean as a feed for hogs has
been fully tested at the Kansas experi
ment Station. It was found that In
dian corn fed alone to hogs made from
six to seven pounds gain in weight per
bushel, but if a proportion of one-fifth
of soy beans was added to the feed the
increase in weight to the hogs
practically doubled,

may be sown on well-prepared land

There lives a man In every town
Whose name Is Peter Tumbledown,
Of Horticulture he has heard
And seems to hate the very word.
All garden work he tries to shun
And by his wife this work is done;
At flowers he will never gaze,
He likes the fruit his neighbors raise.
To grow his fruit he does not try;
Claims 'tls cheaper to buy.
But when berries are In their prime.
He's out of cash, just at that time.
Watermelons are his son's delight
His neighbor's fruit they
night,
The boys soon tire of a farmer's life
And mingle In the city's strife.
Nor for his girls is there a charm
About his gardenless old farm;
They declare, if ever they wed.
Their husbands must be city bred.
If. from his faults, you would be free;
To Horticulture you should flee;
Study it well and practice more;
There's happiness for you in store.

It very often occurs that a great
deal of fruit, and sometimes vege
tables, go to waste because of the
lack of knowledge that will preserve
them in some manner until they are
needed. Fruits are easily dried and
canned, but vegetables are not
easily preserved for future use. We
are wiser, however, than we were a
decade ago, and we are till learning
things about canning and drying vege
