MOTHER.

No other name sounds half so sweet to me
AS this beloved old Anglo-Saxon word,
Whose simple mention stirs some silent chord
Within my heart, and brings me back to thee.
Gethinks thy dear and radiant face see
When /, babe my fedgling fancy scared
Within a little world where light was poured
From out thy eyes, so full of sancJity.
When prattling babyhood had passed away,
my tender care led my uptutored steps
Through narrow rays till manhood looms
apace,
And then my buoyant bark in unknown depths
Sets out alone, while thou thy steps retrace
back unto Him who lives in endless day.

Shade Trees for Florida.

Those who settle on the pine lands of our
state, says the Florida AgricuIturtSt, are
soon aware Of the utter lack of shade trees,
unless, perchance, the home was made on an
oak ridge and even then it is poor at best.
For a number Of years past every tree set
out must be an orange or lemon, and when
shade trees were wanted they were planted.
The idea being to make it serve two pur-
poses, 1. e. shade and fruit when grown.
The idea was good one, but unfortunately
the citrus family does not like such famill-
arity, and is entirely out of place in door
yard or street as a shade tree. We know
where orange trees were set in the middle
of the streets Of new town to grow and
beautifv the place." but alas! one by one
they are disappearing, and even those that
are still alive are scarcely largo enough to
produce ''nat full" OF shade, and the
sooner they are discarded the better. The
idea of making the orange tree serve two
purposes is a good, but misplaced one, and
only the "new corners" are now known to
plant orange trees for shade. There are
trees, however, that could be made to serve
the double purpose, such as the olive, pecan
nut and mulberry.
The olive if properly trimmed makes a
very good shade and will thrive where
orange and like trees would die. When
they are large enough to bear, the
fruit can be easily secured, for it would
not be disturbed, owing to the fact shat in
the raw state it is not palatable. These
could be used along the street or lanes, and
would furnish source of income. For
shade for cattle the pecan could be used
around the fence lines or fields. while the
different kinds of mulberry trees should
be placed near the barn yard. They are
fast growers and make a dense shade, also
furnish an abundance of berries " lich are
valuable for culinary purposes, aud food for
chickens and hogs. The everbearing variety
is especially valuable for this purpose.
If it is shade that is wanted, I'd nothing
else, there is no tree that equals the water
oak. In a few years these trees grow to a
considerable size. Their slender limbs COW
cred with small, dark green leaves reach
out in graceful symmetry, and indeed they
are "things of beauty" The umbrella
tree, when properly trimmed, is another
good variety of shade trees, and there
should be one in every door yard where
they have room to grow. Everyone should
have plenty of shade on their place and
should select such trees as are suited to the
peculiar uses tor which they are to serve.

Oil is cheaper than machinery, 50 use it

Butts,milE az a Medicine.

On this subject Dr.. r. l.. Landry writes
in the New Orleans Picoy,me: With the
rapid growth of reconstructive medicines
comes opportunely the reintroduction of Old
and weIl-known domestic remedies, among
which huttermilk demands respectable
place. A young lady patient of the writer's
was suffering from a severe consumptive
cough. None of the usual indispensable
expectorants, etc., seemed to do any good
simply because her stomach was too weak
to bear enough medicine to effect the pur-
pose. Finally suggested to her mother
the use Of hot butternilk. 1t was adopted
at once. Her first nights experience was
one of comparative freedom from cough
and pain, and a pleasant slumber for sew
eral hours. 1t was continued for long
time, with an unvarying relief of all her
previous distressing symptoms, and almost
perfect freedom from cough for several
hours after draught of the hot buttermilk.
Lingering at one time for weeks from an
attack OF congestive fever, dosed with cal
omel and quinine almost beyond endurance,
| the writer began to desire buttermilk to
drink. The physician didn't believe in
humoring the whims of patients" as he ex
pressed it; besides, he contended that a sim
gle drink OF the obnoxious fluid might pro-
duce death, as acids and calomel were in
compatible dweliers in the Same stomach.
But was a good persuader, and my mother
was susceptible subject. The butermilk,
fresh from the churn,n was procured and
drank. No evil resulted; instead came a

you have any buttermilk I will take a
drink TO stay my stomach" A good, kind
hearted woman, she soon brought up a
pitcher Of butterlnilk from the cool spring
house, while examined my patients and
| prescribed for them. Perhaps a pint was
drunk during the stay OF nearly an hour.
For months indigestion had held his I'M
friendly grasp on my stomach From that
notable day forward his reign was broken
my stomach was healed and could ride all
day, if necessary, without feeling so woe
begone from the lack of food as before the
drinking of the buttermilk. There are peo-
pie, however, who cannot use butsermilk at
all, and who cannot use milk of any kind
nor butter; but to others it proves both
food and medicine.

An old darkey out ia Mallory's district

hollow log in Long creek swamp. This was
early in the dat, and he iaid on bis back
until about su, down, when, to his surprise,

Of the hollow log. the man thought Of

less because his fertilizer had been exhausted
by the crop before the grain-ma&ing time
had arrived.
Potash, says the writer, enters largely
into the growth of stalk. and plants have
the power of drawing tho nitrogen from the
soil and air, and soils are generally deficient
in phosphoric acid, at least the farmer has to
supply this one Ingredient more than any
other, especially for certain crops, and corn
is one of them. If that farmer had given
his crop an additional supply of fertilizer
rich in potash and phosphoric acid, later IN
the season, he would doubtless have had
good growth of prnin.
