Ave, it has been lost It is as if the white man had followed a path which suddenly ended at a precipice. From this point the red demons took win??, and the oldest trailer is at fault. The men on picket looked up and down the narrow yalley with anxious faces. Down the valley, a mile away, a solitary wild horse paws and pran ces and utters shrill neighs of won (Waicut iind alarm. Up the valley i a Ions-stretch of green grass, the earth as level as a tl :or and no visi ble sign of life. The pines and shrubs and rocks on the mountain side might hide ten thousand Indi ans, but there is not the slightest movement to arouse suspicion. It is a still, hot day. Not a bird chirps, not a branch waves. The eye of a lynx couid detect nothing beyond the erratic movements of the lone wild horse down the valley and the circular night ol an eagle so high in :iir that the proud bird seemed no larger than a sparrow. For an hour every man and horse has looked for signs, but nothing has been discovered beyond what has been "described. It "is a lost trail. There is something in it to arouse su.-iiicion as weiFas annoyance.

The little band gallop straight dowa upon the lone horse. Now they are only half a mile away, and his breath comes quick and his nos trils quiver as he stands and stares at the strange spectacle. A little nearer and his muscles twitch and quiver and his sharp pointed ears work faster. Only eighty rods now, and with a fierce snort of alarm and defiance he rears up, whirls about like a top, and is oil" down the valley like an arrow sent by a strong hand.

In the August number of Forestry appears an important article on the destruction of American forests by Mr. William Little, -oT : Montreal. The constant -drain ' made upon American lorests for white pine a wood that furnished three-fourths of the building timber in the United States and Canada has at last, he says, occasioned a scarcity which compels economists to point to a time in the very near future when its total exhaustion may; be predict ed. The entire 6upply of white pine now growing in the United States does not exceed S'.,XiO,OUO,(JllO feet. The annual production of this lum ber jg nol far from 10,UO0,O(0,JO0 ffcCt) and the demand is rapidly in- creasing. - Fatal inroads have already been made into the great pine forests cf the North Atlantic region. Its wealth has been lavished with an unsparing hand ; it has been wontonly and stupidly cut, as if its resources were endless"; what has not been sacrific ed to the ax has been allowed to per ish bv fire. The pine of New Eng lanj - and jsew .York has already present j, aud which not even sell mterest has saved from needless de- struction.

A man who invests money ia the glue business is very apt to get stuck. Ell Perkins on Cncle Hank. Uncle Ilank Allen was perhaps the smoothest and most accomplish ed liar in Central New York. There were other ordinary postoffice liars in the beautiful village of Eaton, N. Y where I was born, but Uncle Hank could lie like a gifted metro politan. Every night Uncle Hank's grocery was lined with listening citizens, all paying the strictest attention when ever the good old man spoke. When Charlie Campbf 11 or John Whitney lied, nobody paid any attention to them, because they were clumsy workmen. Their lies would not hold water like Uncle Hank's. Why, the old man's lies were so 6mooth,so ar tistic, that while listening to them you imagined you were listening to Elder Cleveland's Bible stories. f One day they were all talking about potatoe bugs in Uncle Hank's grocery, which was a sort of village farmer's club. Finally Charlie Miles remarked casually that he thought it was going to be a potato bug year. 'Talk about it's going to be a po tato bug vear !' exclaimed Mr. Purdy. 'Going to be ? Why, they were eo thick in my garden this morning that I could not see the stalks. I counted 902 strong, healthy bugs on one hill. Twenty-eight bugs on one stalk !' and the doctor Etruck the air with hid fist . , 'Twenty-eight buzs on one stalk, only twenty-eight?' said Charley Campbell, contemptuously. 'Why, they ate up my first crop of potatoes two weeks ago, and they are now sit ting around the garden on trees and fences waiting for me to plant them over ngaiD.' Old Uncle Hank now scratched his head thoughtfully and then re marked : 'Gentlemen, you don't any of you appear to know anything about the ravenous nature of them potater bugs. You may call me a liar, but I've had potater bugs to walk right into my kitchen and ynk red hot potatoes right out of the oven. Wait ing around the potater patch for the second crop !' exclaimed old Hank, with a sneer. 'Waiting! why, con found your eyes, 1 was up to the Townsend's store the other day, and I saw potater bugs up there looking over Townsend's books to see who had bought seed potatoes for next year. 1 did, by gosh 1' The whole grocery was still when Uncle Hank finished. You could have heard a pin drop. Finally a long, lean man from Woodman's Pond raised himself up near the door. He was evidently a new comer, and was not acquainted with Mr. Allen. Pointing his long finger at Uncle Hank he said : 'You are a liar!' Uncle Hank looked over his glass es at the stranger long and earnestly. Then, holding out his hand, he in quired with a puzzled look : 'When did you get acquainted with me?' Hoots lor Sheep. It is possible for us to learu very much from the farmers of Europe. They are under the necessity of mak ing the utmost profit that any branch of agriculture will yield. Conse quently their farming ojerations are reduced to a science. Ours oughtto be, but while we have so much land that is practically exhaustless in fertility we shall not bend our ener gies to make every foot of land and every animal produce to the extent of its ability. There will also be ex ceptions, however. There will al ways be fanners who will try to do the" best they can, upon the very common-sense principle that when two dollars can be made just as well as one it is better to taxe the two. Such men, if they happen to be en gaged in sheep husbandry, will make a study ol European systems of breeding, feeding and manage ment The Englishman has made sheep raisiDg profitable to a very high degree. He has shown us how to improve our sheep by careful breeding, and he can ihow us how to manage them ' with profit Of course', it is not practical . for. us to follow Eniopean systems of feeding literally, but in these systems we can find the principle of success. In England roots are largely fed, and there is a question if I hey " are not fed to too large au extent especially those that contain such a large amount of water as turnips. But in this country, as a rule, we do not feed enough. In the work on "Feeding Animals" bv Professor Stewart, itis stated, as the result of careful exieriment, that ten pounds of turnips with one and a half jounds of corn will fatten a young sheep or lamb faster than three pounds of com alone. The feeding uf roots in England, although we believe it is too extensive, ia the se cret of successfull sheep-feeding in winter there. It will be more mild ly adopted here. Prafessor Stewart savs that this will be the case unless the silo shall preserve better green food at a less price. Well, we do not believe the silo will ever do it It could preserve better food if the crop to be ensilaged was carefully selected, but we cannot get,ridofour doubts that the cost will more than outweigh its superiority. Boots are good enough for sheep and they are cheap. Hard to Beat. ' . : e A farmer came into a grocery store the other day and exhibited to the eyes of an admiring crowd an enormous- egg, about six inches long, which he avowed to have been laid by .' one of bis own henB.- He had it packed in cotton, add wouldn't allow anyone to handle it for fear of breaking the phenomenon. The groeeryman examined it with the rest, and.intending to chaff thecouu trymau, said i "Pshaw! 'I've' got" something in the egg line that will beat that." "I'll bet you $5 joxi haven't," said the countryman, getting excit ed., ". i "Take it up," replied the grocry maa, and going behind. the counter he brought., out a wire'-egg beater. "There is something ia the egg line that will beat it, I guess," said he, reachicgout foe the stakes. ,. -'r "Hold -on there," said th faxm er v'letV see ;you leat it," anii he handed it the, erocer. rThe fatter held out his hand for- it, btl "drop ped it in furpriw pn .Vhc couster, where it broke two soup plates and a platter.

It in related that a man came to the Journal office to have a luss with the editor over something that had been said in the Eaper, and he was pretty mad when e accosted the general business manager, Mike Kraus. He spoke of desiring blood, aud expressed a de sire to gallop all over the manly frame of the editor, and offered to chew a few reporters. Mr. Kraus stood in the door, and pointing to the box on the mdewalk fc said : " Ilovt would that fit you ? it may be"a llt little small butwe have larger ones," and calling the undertaker, who was on the sidewalk, Kraus said: "Measure this man,' please." The undertaker took out a tape-line and came forward, and the man with the hot box, who was being measured for a cold box, began to feel small. Just then the editor, Neiman, came down stairs, and Mike said : " See here, Neiman, here is a man in a hurry to whip somebody, and I don't know but you will let me have that cofiin that was made for the South Side man who was going to come in this afternoon to whip us. . He can wait." Neiman looked at the man who wanted to fight and said to Mike: " You must make one for this man. The South Side man will be here at 4 o'clock and I make it a point never to disappoint a man." " Say." said Neiman, turning to the man who had come for a fight, "couldn't vou get along without a fight till Saturday ? We are a little crowded now," and Neiman rested his cane on the cofiin box. The man said, come to think of it, he didn't want to fight, anyhow, but he did think that article in the paper was mean. " Of course," says Kraus, and the mad man walked down street, the undertaker went in his store and the editor and manager winked at each other and went to work as though nothing had hap pened. PcrVa Sun. Summer Treatments of Grass Lands. i We have not a just conception of tha value of our grasses, nor ot. the posibility of procuring the full value from them. Our system is not a dapted to this. We seed to grass for the purpose of destroy ing it very eoon whiles meadow should improve in value-yearly for a century? if it is properly managed. Some think our climate is not suitable for grass. The magnificent blue trass pasture! of Kentucky, Indiana,' Ohio and West Virginnia, and the great wesi tern prairies which have borne their perennial verdure for ages, contra dict this belief. If we grow the right kind of grass we may have perma nent meadows and pastures ; and if we treat them in a juditious manner these may be kept in good condition always. " There are a great vari ety of grasses. The former, of course liye but one year, and the roots die. Of this kind are those late summer grasses which we - are apt to call weeds ; the second are longer lived, but soon fail and gradually die from exhauston of the root Of this kind is timothy, the best grass to grow with a bennial plant like clover in tation, but a very poor one for a meadow or pasture. The long per ennial grasses are orchard ' grass, meadow fence, tall fescue, foul mead ow grass, red top, Kentucky blue grass, meadow oat grass, yellow oat grass, perennial rye grass and 6ome others which lire not less noteworthy and useful. All these grasses have fibrous roots, or running roots, stocks which spread and cover the ground with a dense mat or sod. Our ob ject should be to procure and preser ve a sod ot this kind, and encourage iu growth, both in pasture and mead ows, by careful, skillful treatment This should consist of occasional top dressing with fine manure, or such fertilizers as plaster su per-phos-phate of lime, bone dust, Peruvian guano, wood ashes, or potash salts, with a mixture of soda. Three or four dollars per acre thus spent every second or thirdyear will be liberal ly repaid by the more productive condition af the meadow. Frosh seed will be required occasionally in spots where the adverse season may have caused injury, and with such nursing and feeding as this, grass may be kept in permanently good condition, lor no one as yet has lear ned how long, but it has been so kept for hundred of y ears..
