The great Columian Exposition faded as quietly and sadly as an autumn.day, and when the belching cannon had sent a score of shots to heaven and pelted the domes and pinnacles with a million echoes the giant had died. , Silver-throated chimes~* tolled the knell, murmuring fountains sang the requiem, while, clouds hung as 'the shroud, The night stole on, the' break- ers slept, the lagoons grew as calm as painted ponds, the lights blinked out and it was over, It passed as gently as the withering of a summer rose, -to leave a Memory as sweet as the frag- rance of an incense pot. The mighty organ groaned and wept, the preacher prayed, the whizzing pulleys ceased their jangle, the rattling wheels hung silent, the throttles were choked. The waning moon looked down at Midnight upon a wilderness of beauty awaiting the assassin's axe. Columns, towers and turrets,. portals, peristyle and palaces, Dianas, mermaids and heroes, archers, Neptunes and pyra- mids, sculptors' groupsand artists" pan- els, treasures of genius and marvels of brains, all stood mnute-at the altar side, aWaiting the torch to make them ashes. It was 2 sight "sadder than a funeral and as melancholy as a winter forest, The wind sent shafts to the marrow aud rattled grewsotnely in the withered leaves and frosted boughs, and from end to end the fairy acres were as sombré as the valley of the shadow of death. The final funetion was in festival hall, the wild bubble built for fetes. President Palmer rapped the pulpit just once, A thousand heads uneover- ed, aud then the chief of the fair lifted up his yorce. He spoke measuredly, andtenderly told why the festivities had been abandoned. We explained why the daybreak salute had been fbandoned, why the bands had been quieted, why the orations and songs had been unspeken and unsung. A terrible tragedy had intervened and bad made this day of jubilee a day of inourning. The mayor of who has dove so-mdfch to create this exposition, has been shot down, assass inated in bis own home. in View this catastrophe it) bas been deemed fRting that the elaborate program sliall " of ibe omitted, As the President took his seat Rev John Henry Barrows stepped torward and offered up a long, fervent and .elo- quent prayer to God.

President Palmer arose, rapped a second time, and in obedience to the act of Congress declar- ed the World's Columbian Exposition clused at sunset. The benediction was then pronounced. . Simple in the extreme were the twwi- light acts. The warship and revenue sloop doosed their guns and all about the grounds rolled the roar of the last "act.

The Price of Wheat, WHEAT FED TO MuGS REALIZES A DOL- LAL A BUSHEL, A representative of the Woodstock | sentinel Review the other day had aj} conversation with a farmer who was! unloading wheat at a mill, which he had sold at 68 cents. The yeomanadmitted that certain wiseacres -were ddvising them not to sell their whéat; that the price would advance--but he could fot see it that way. "If you will come you within an bour as«man who has about 4.000 bushels of wheat. in his barn--the harvest of three years. He is Wealthy and can afford to wait, per- haps, put [am convinced he is losing | 20 cents a bushel in waste and = shrimnk- age by not marketing his grain every | full. [le could have sold some of it for | #8 cents and was offered 90 cents for 2,- | WOO, but he wanted a doilar. He didn't! get itand I don't believe he will. Some | of my neighbors are getting/ dollar fer their wheat by feeding ito their hogs." According to eXperiments made by Prof. James Robertson at the Dominion Experimental Farin, Ottawa, the eon- clusions arrived at were that fifteen pounds of pork can be made trom a bushel of wheat. Ilowever, it is not wise to feed wheat alone. Butchers and farmers say that wheat fed pork is apt to be oily aud soft,and that wheat is too strong for pigs wlien fed alone. Corn, peas and oat"suppiements will mike a much more nearly balanced feeding ratio, Wheat also gives good results When fed to dairy cows, as it produces a rich caseinous class of milk and makes. first-class cheese. A good dairy cow. will give something like a pound of butter a day, and eight pounds of wheat is a good feed of that kind of grain, so-that a bushel should last.a week and furnish the concentrated feéd for naking something like seven pounds of butter; and seven pounds of butter at. present Woodstock pricés means S$..75 for this quantity of butter from one bushel of wheat, which only sells at ras cents to the miller, Then, fed_ to hogs, a bushel of wheat.will make (ac- cording to Prot. Pobertson) 15 pounds of pork, and that at 37.50 per ewt, means 34.12.5, one dollar twelve ati half cents. In this way wheat can. be | manufactured right at home into a pro- | fitable product, Not only. that, but! practically all the, fertility which was! taken from the soil by the wheat will be left on the farm, which is a matter of great importance. If farmers can .get only 58 cents a bushel for their wheat, manufacture it into pork, or in- to bfitter or cheese.
