"GO0D BYE"
BY MRS. GEORGE FEARS.

"Good bye" around that sad, sweet word
A chain of memories ever cling,
That rise when e'er the heart is stirred,
Their sad influence round us ding;
Sad but yet sweet their power is strong,
And oft will canse the heart to sigh.
AS thoughts of bygOne days will thrOng
Around that tender word, Good bye.'
"Good by e!7 it is that parting word
That yet oft destroys the cheeks bright
bloom;
Forever are it's echoes heard
From young childhood TO the tomb;
Good bye, hope we'll meet again
Where pleasures never die,
No parting words the heart to pain,
And there is no "Good 3ye."

what noted for eccentricity, last
week celebrated his 87th birthday
by preaching his own funeral SER
mon in Clarke county, Georgia:
In his sermon he spoke strongly
against modern eucroachment up
on old ideas, and declared that
when he was young everybody was
honest, but now that it was not so.
Funerals he daclared to be relic
of paganism-a worship of the dead
bndy-when the living should be
the object of all solicitude. He
could not agree that heather ser
vices should be held over his body,
aud therefore he chose to hold the
service himself, so that nothing
wrong should be done.
He prayed, preached and sang
alternately, all the changes being
watched with curious interest by
the asscmblagP. His coffin was
placed before him, and he would
lovingly touch it when lie referred
to it as the home wherein his body
should repose until the resurrection
morn,

The New York Herald defines the
position of the wOman's suffrage
question pretty accurately when it
saws:
There are two odd facts, hOweV-
er, to which we call attention of
these eloquent ladies. First, there
is no active opposition to woman
suffrage among the sterner sex. So
far as we can discover, the men are
not at all interested in the subject.
Whenever 1t Is under discussion
they simply shrug their shoulders.
The secOud odd fact is that most
women are just as Indifferent as the
men. They, too, shrug their shoul-
ders. The whole subject is up 10
the air. 1t doesn't stir them half
as much as new bonnet, and iftbe
choice is given to go to a mass
meeting in favor of suffrage or to
theatre party the chances are mil
lion TO one in favor of the party.
The female yearning for notOrie-
ty is ministered to pretty consider
ably 10 the public agitation of the
question, or the agitation would
cease.

only way any one eau obtain what

ing away from the mark, Thus,
after all, his most surprising trait
is his blindness, for he gOas through

him and play upon bis vanity, and

Beyond question the greatest

ionate one, for instance, is the dis
covery, sure to come about, that he
himself in some particular is COM

ed his neishbor's shortcomings is
now suddenly clouded by the re-
Election that If the neighbor is so
calmly unsuspicious OF his faults,
such may also be the case with
ones self. Though disiIlusIoning,
to any one with sense of humOr,
this experience is amusing too; and
what is more 1t marks progress in

tempt TO see Deighbor's life in

what laundering aud miSconceiv-
ing world this is; for 1T now occurs
to us, like revelation, that our
neighbor possibly suffers the same
pains of mlscOmprehension that
have been bitter to our own heart.
We have been thought surely when
we were simply i'll, or proud when
simply hiding trouble, or uufaith-
ful when driven by Il hidden neces-
sity; so, too, may it be with our
neighbor as we have falsely seen
him. A man on realizing this
thought feels sudden swelling of
his heart toward his neighbor.'

not thought OF you as if you were a

ginning of new and more cOmpre-

Where the Fertility Goes.

In ton of timothy hay there are
80 pounds nitrogen, worth $3.50, 40
pounds of potash, worth 81, and IA
pounds phosphoric acid, worth $1.21;
total value in one ton of hay in these
elements 1892. This, 1892 is what
this ton of hay would be worth on the
farm for manure, provided it should
become necessary to buy commercial
fertilizers, such as bone dust, super
phosphate, etc., to keep up the fer
tility of the farm. If the farmer
sold $500 worth of hay at $3.50 per
ton, 40 tons, he would sell in nitro
gen, potash and phosphoric acid
that which he could not get
back for less than $316; $500
worth of clover hay, at $40 per ton,
would remove the same elements to
the value of 1866; $500 worth of corn,
$3.50; $500 worth of wheat at 81 per
bushel, 1925; $500 of wool, $50; $500
of milk and butter, $3S; $500 of fruits,
much less than either; $500 of cotton
and tobacco, more than any two of the
others.
Now, could we feed this hay and
grain on the farm in the production of
milk and butter and wool and meat,
and get enough in the products to pay
for the hay and grain, we would retain
between IS and 80 per cent. OF these
fertilizing elements on the farm, as
only about 10 per cent. of these ele-
ments are appropriated by the animals.
So that if we pastured sheep in the
summer and fed the hay in winter, and
sold wool and mutton to the value
of $500, we would remove from the
farm only $50 worth of these essential
fertilizing elements, and the tendency
to impoverishment of soil would be
very little. We would tend to inn
poverishment of land seven times
faster by selling $500 worth of clover
hay, six times faster by selling timo-
thy, 81 times by selling corn, p
times by selling wheat, and, estimat-
ing roughly, more than 10 times by
selling tobacco and cotton, and only
three-fourths times as fast by selling
milk and butter, and even less by SELL
ing fruits.

SotaI and PrickIy Pear

The value of sotal as stock food has
often been referred to in these columns.
That it is almost unexceled for cattle
and sheep is now beyond question, but
Mr.. Vim. Landrum has put it to further
use and given it wider scope. For I'M
experiment he put up two lots of hogs,
one of which he fed on priclxly pear and
meal. and the other on prickly pear and
steamed sotal. At the end of six weeks
the difference in condition was so great
ly in favor of the latter feed, that Mr..
Landrum is fully convinced of its value,
and intends to go into the hog-feeding
business extensively. The sotal and
prickly pear cost nothing, but the
gathering where it covers the ground.
This undoubtedly will prove success
in every way where carried on sys-
tematically. -Teras L. S. Journal,

field Of these pests, which take a
great delight in chewing the
slender and delicate stem or stalk of
the plant, breaking it off just above
the ground, and you will find them
hidden under the leaves or in the
ground near the base of the stalk, and
unless they are ''taken IN hand early
and without mercy, they will do great
damage to your crop--damage that cnn
not be remedied. If the worming Is
done thoroughly and frequently during
the early stages of the growth you will
have little trouble from this source
later on, for the second crop
that comes later and cut
the leaves, will not be numerous
enough to do any great damage. Then
in worm hunting early remember
that you are destroying second
''crop." To prevent the development
of worms a good many careful plant
ers plant jimson weeds or erect imita-
ton jimson blooms in different parts Of
the field, and inject solution of cobalt
in the bloom, as these are favorite re-
sorts for the tobacco moth, and cobalt
kills them, and every one killed means
