GOODBYE SWEET WORLD

Goodbye, sweet world to me so passing fair,
Despite the misery. the want and n
mat shadow sunlight and make foul the air
beyond the fiower-wall that shuts me in.
10 mo thy sunny side did ST ever turn,
since OF this mortal life first drew breath,
but not the best thou hadst to give could be
Ought OF defense against the serpent
DEATH
In this last hour of passionate regret
My heart doth cling TO thee in fond farewell;
Thy smiling face hath power to charm me yet
Thy changing joys still hold me in their
spell.
From the far land to which / soon must pass,
shall not turn with home sick longing here,
To see again in spring the greening grass
To hear the birds sing greeting to the yearf
Where. all undimmed, the sun in glory shines,
No cool, gray clouds upon the hills will rest;
Or breaking, send the rain in slanting lines
To wake the daisies on the earth's warm
breast.
In that bright region of eternal day,
The summer moon no more my eyes will
meet
Pouring, midst pleiades and milky way,
Its lucid silver radiance to my feet.
Shall not sigh for evenings quiet close,
Where there doth come no night to follow
morn
To taste the fragrance Of the dew-damp rose,
Or pluck pale lilies in the rosy dawn?
VIII not my youthful spirit shrink apart,
With sense of strangeness in world un
knowns
Can those long dead there satisfy my heart
Whose memory the years have overgrownf
Where Seraphim and Cherubim do cry
In Joyful unison--a shining band
No wel-known face to seek with eager eye
Nor feel the clasp OF a familiar hand.
Saviour! Lord receive my doubling soul,
Home, kindred, friends l lose, to find IL
Thee.
My spirit hold in Thy supreme control,
Content to rest through all eternity

1t is stated that 80 dairies in
Vermont can be named where the
yearly average is over 800 lbs of
butter per COW, and that at least 90
per cent of these COWS are either
pure bred or grade Jerseys. It is
further stated that of the 1000 dali
ries III that State, where the average
per COW reaches 200 lbs. per year,
the Jersey blood largely predomi-
mates.

that three-fourths of the nitrogen in

saye the liquid portion from waste.
The best plan to preserve it is by
absorbents-dry earth, old straw
and worthless hay, leaves, etc., used
as bedding and placed in the manure

There is meat preserving es-
tablishment in Waco, Texas, that
opened on a small scale and is grow
ing now to large proportions. The
meat is shipped all over the United
States and has met with favor every

owns the concern and ''patent pro-
cess" and is preparing to open up
the business on large scale.
Eastern dairymen buy bran at
S22 per ton and find the investment
profitable. If Southern dairymen
will order bran by the ton, or half
ton, they can secure it very much
cheaper than buying from home
merchants. For instance, bran re-
tails here in Starkville at $50 per
100 lbs; by ordering ton, one can
have it laid down here at SLIP per
100; in 1000 lb lot, s1.15. The writ
er has been making some investiga-
tons lately. While our dairymen
could not afford to pay s1.50 for
bran, they can afford SLIP or S1.15,
feeding only small quantity daily
to give variety to the ration. Cot
ton seed, little corn meal, and cot
ton seed meal and bran-the cotton

Mrs Laurence was absolutely confused,

The countess paid no attention to her
failures; she had risen and was standing
near the bushing Dora. She touched the
girls chin with her finger-raised it so as
to look in her face, and said, kindly and
heartily:

ton When the animal is at its best and
well fed they are full and plump, standing
up on his back firm and upright; but on a
long journey they are gradually absorbed to
keep up the fires that work the heart and
legs, and in the caravan camels which arrive
ut the coast, the skins hangs over an empty
bag, upon the creatures tanks, bearing wit
ness to the scarcity Of external food during
the course of his long. forced march from
the interior. A starved small camel in this
state Of health far more closely resembles a
Peruvian llama than any one who has only
seen the fine, well kept beasts in European
menageries or geological gardens could read
lily imagine.
But water Is even scantier in the desert than
food, and against want OF water, therefore,
the camel has had to provide himself, fuuc
tionally at least, If not structurally, quite as
much as against want Of heritage. His stom.
ach has accordingly acquired the power Of
acting as ar internal reservoir and he can
take in as much water at the Bahrs or Wadys,
where he rests for a while on his tollsome
march, as will supply his needs for four or
five days together. There are some differ
