THE BLACK EORSES.

Have you seen the black horses
AS they stand in their places,
With the steam of their nostrils
And the fire of their faces.
As they shine in their harness
For their swift, splendid races?
When they run in the darkness
How they flame in their going!
How they spurn earth behind them
How the heat in them glowing
Leaves a trail on the night
From the sparks they are throwing!
And the hand of the master
Perchance you have wondered
How it kept a firm rein
While they lightened and Numbered
In the speed of their passage
AS midnight was sundered.
Oh, grand are the horses
That whirl us, unsparing
BY hillside and hollow,
Their vigor declaring;
And grand are the drivers
Who urge on their daring!
Fly faster and faster,
Oh, gallant black horses,
AS ye fling the hot spume-1akes
Along your smooth courses;
Fly faster, for heartbeats
Shall add to your forces!
And grip the long lever,
Oh, hand of the master,
As the brass shines like gold
In the teeth of disaster
While the black horses snoring
Comes faster and faster!

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

In a SOLID GOLD WATCH, aside from
the necessary thickness for engraving and
polishing, a large proportion of metal is
needed only to stiffen and hold the engrav-
ed portions in place, and supply strength.
The surplus gold is actually needless. In
James Boss Patent Gold Watch Gases this
WASTE is saved, and L and
increased by a simple process,
at one-half the cost. A plate of SOLID
COLI is soldered on each side of a plate
of hard nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this the cases, backs,
%centers, bezels, ETC., are cut and shaped by
dies and formers. The gold is thick
enough to admit of all kinds of chasing
engraving and engine turning. These
cases have been worn perfectly smooth by
use without removing the gold. This is
the only case made under this process. Each
case IS accompanied NTH a ralid guarantee
signed by the manufacturers w%arranting it to
wsar 20 years. 10000 of these Gases
now carried in the United States and
Canada. Largest and Oldest Factory.
Established 1854. Ask your Jeweler.

success in these "black lands" OF

A gentleman from Montgomery
has told me to>day of his experience
with it. For eight years he has been
growing it on an eight-acre lot OF
low grounds, near Montgomery. He
cuts four (4) crops every season, be-
tween April and October. His aver
age OF each of these cuttings is 80
bales OF hay; each bale weighs $50
lbs; he cuts the grass while it is
in bloom, before the seeds natures,

any other tields-tor it is very tena.
cious and will root out any other
crop. He sells his surplus hay at
500 per ton--teeds no grain to his
mules except when they are working;
they keep fat on this hay. The in.
uudations of his.crops have not harmed
it, except when once in shocks; which
were washed of. The land he grows
it on produced fifty to sixty bushels
corn-once 100 bushels to the acre.
The grass requires good land to se-
cure its best results. It is of Syrian
origin, and is really sorghum,
known in the books as Sorghum
Helepense.,' So if you don't know
it please hunt il up.

Pending til" consideration OF tue

This was an adroit and insilions at

pen has been recently employed to
