EE EN EE EE SRL I STIS,
A NEGLECTED Crop.—There is so much
good sense and such sound advice in the
following, which is taken from the Scott-
dale Independent, that the WATCHMAN has
no hesitancy in asking its readers to think
seriously of the suggestions made, and
when conditions justify undertake to plant
a few trees, at least each vear. ‘‘How
many farmers who will read this ever
planted an acre of trees? Forests are be-
ing felled everywhere, but who dreams of
setting out a thousand pine, oak, poplar or
any other kind of trees for the next gener-
ation? Any young man, just starting in
life on the farm, who would plantand care
for a few acres of young timber would,
long hefore his hair became snowy reap a
crop that would pay him infinitely better
than raising brush and weeds, as so many
farmers do. In twenty years come kinds
of timber will reach maturity. If the con-
sumption of lumber goes on at the present
rate what will it be worth in 20 or 30
years? Ah, but, say you, who wants to
wait twenty years for a crop? Look at
that baby boy lying in the cradle. It will
be twenty years before he is a man. Look
at him, and then, instead of loafing in the
grocery store or the blacksmith shop, go
ont with your axe and your soythe this
winter and olear away that piece of brush
and weeds. Then in the early spring plant
some young pines or poplars, and by the
time that boy is of age and takes his girl
out riding in his very own buggy that
piece of woods will be worth something.
Give it him as a wedding present. Why
not ?”?

Threshing Time in South Dakota.
Another letter from Rev. J. P. Hughes
desctibes threshing in Dakota as a much
more stupendous process tban in Pennsyl-
vania :
DEAR WATCHMAN :—
CASTLEWOOD, SoUTH DAK., Aug. 31st, "04.
The railroad, within the limits of the
town, is lined with wheat elevators or
granaries. This is the week beginning wheat
threshing.
The landscape is varied with steam thresh-
ers in every direction. About ten or twelve
two horse teams are gathering, and hauling
the shocks to each thresher, one team is kept
occupied in hauling water for the men and
horses connected with each thresher. Sev.
eral teams are kept busy in hauling the
threshed wheat to the elevators in town,
where it is purchased load by load by the
buyers, who are at the granaries and then it
is distributed by the C. & N. M. railway to
the awaiting markets. Each thresher cleans
per day about an average of 1500 bushels.
Each team, at a load hauls to the elevators,
about 100 bushels. The roads are excellent
either for walking or wheeling. They start
from the town passing through the prairies,
% right angles, North, South, East and
est.
Many of the owners of the sections of land,
live in the town and their lands are farmed
by tenants who live in comfortable homes
upon the ground which they cultivate. The
water is supplied from deep wells forced up
by wind-mills, the noise of which together
with the harvest music of the threshers, vary
much the quiet, and silence of the plains. I
enjoy very much my daily walks kere. One
must travel by his watch, as there are few
changes in the road or scenery, and when
his time is up, he must rigkt about face and
return. For miles there are no trees or
fences or stones or stumps for seats. If you
wish to rest you must either sit upon the
ground or gossling fashion, lift up one foot
and rest it while you stand upon the other.
The sunshine is genial and strengthening,
the air is cool and bracing. There are no
mosquitoes here. Many of the inhabitants
are of German and Scotch descent. I find
them very kind and friendly. I suppose a
Pennsylvanian is a kind of curiosity here,
and they have much respect for the old
‘Keystone State.”” Much of their coal, their
only fuel, is furnished from Pennsylvania
mines. There are many buggies and carriages
daily on the road and one thing that varies
my pleasure in walking is having to refuse
their invitation to ride. No vehicle ever
passes you unless it has no spare seats, with-
out stopping and asking you to ride. It is
impossible for a person to accept them all,
and so I politely decline them all. I fre-
quently have invitations from the gentlemen
in town to ride with them out through the
prairies and visit their sections, some of
which I gratefully accept and which I enjoy
very much for they have fine teams, and I
share in fruits and other products of the
farm which are very refreshing.
Truly yours, :
J. P. HUGHES.

Books, Magazines, Ete.
September Century, is more than ordinarily
good, which is saying much for that leading and
popular publication. It is called a “Round-the-
World” numuver and the name is justified by the
geographical distribution of the text and pie-
tures.
The opening article is the first illustrated ac-
count in English of the canonization of Saint
Seraphim, the Russian popular saint, at Sarov
last August, in which the Czar and Czarina took
part. The article gives a timely and interesting
view of the Russian peasant.
Other artices, which can only be enumerated
are “Japan’s Highest Volcano,” “The Nelicatar
of Arctic Alaska,” ‘‘Hidden Egypt,” recording
the first visit by women to the Coptic monasteries
of Egypt and Nitria, “The Nail of the Universe,’
an account of the Emperor of Java and his court,
“Antarctic Experiences,” by the explorer, C. E.
Borchgrevink, “Round-the-World at the World's
Fair,” with pictures of a curious sort of exhibits
land and the Philippines. South Africa is repre-
sented by a sketch, “The Locusts of Natal,” by
Mark F. Wilcox, Spain by Cole’s beautiful en-
graving of a painting by Velasquez, and France
by Degas’s “Portrait of a Lady,” recently bought '
by Mrs. Gardner for the Boston collection.
The fiction has also a wide distribution of
scene, and #1} the departments are unusually in-
teresting, and crowded with articles of deep
importance.
The publishers of *“I Wait Alone for You,’ the
most popular, sympathetic ballad of the day, by
the late W. Wesley Wells, have sent us a copy of
his last song, “My Mercedes,” which has just
been published and which he composed a few
weeks before his death. We predict for it a
larger sale than “I Wait Alone for You.” It is
simply beautiful, easy to play, melodious, and a
perfect adaptation of exquisite words to a beauti-
ful melody. The publishers, J. W. Jenkins’
Sons, of Kansas City, Mo., are making a special
price of 25 cents per copy. To our readers who
have not already gotten ‘I Wait Alone for You,”
they will send both for fifty eents.
St. Nicholas.—The frontispiece of the September
St. Nicholas is a full-page reproduction of the
painting of Lady Betty Delme and her children,
and the number is crammed with gay and inter-
estingly told stories for the young people, and
pretty verse. “Peter Puff-and-Blow,” “The Differ-
ence,” “Thirteen,” “Yours Severely,” “The Hol-
ly.Tree Wight,” “What's in a Name?” “A Moon-
'ight Effect,” “The Gay Grecian Girl,” “Which?”
‘Folliloo,’’ “Tom’s Return” and *“The Enterpris-
ing Tapir.” The departments, Nature and
Science, the St. Nicholas League Books and
Reading, the Letter-Box and the Riddle-Box, are
ull of interest and profit, as always.
