A Vine of thp Dead.

In the beautiful cemetery at Athens
stands an old tomb of family once
prominent, not only in the Classic City,
but in other cities and throughout the
State. In it are laid at rest the bodies
of several ancestors who once PLAYED
prominent parts in the history of Athens
and the state. Death sights no family,
though for time he may pass it by.
A few years after the war the door oil
the last cold resting place of the family
yawned for awhile and closed again on
the increased dead who slept within its
dark, cold recesses. For some years
there were no deaths, and the silence
of the tomb was unbroken, save for the
visits of loved ones who knelt without
and offered prayer for the dead or paid
loving tribute to their virtues. At last
death came once more. The good old
grandmother bowed to the will of time,
and dear ones gathered to pay their last
respects. The solemn procession wound
its slow way to the cemetery. The
door of the vault moved heavily on its
hinges as it swung back to receive its
dead. A flood of golden sunlight filled
the tomb, dispelling the gloom and re
vealing strange sight. There, creep
ing along the walls and over the collins.

the climax was yet TO be reached. The

THREE MEETINGS.
Rev. j. A. Bright Talks to the
People.

Rev. J. A. Bright, secretary Of the state
Sunday school association, arrived in
town last Saturday. In the evening he
talked to an audience at the NJ. E. church.
On Sunday, at 4 o'clock, he conducted
children's exercises at the Presbyterian
church. There was a large attendance,
and the children were deeply interested.
Sundyy evening Mr.. Bright lectnred to
a full house in the NJ. E. church. He
gave a description of the $50 American
delegates, of whom he was one, to the
Worlds Sunday school convention in
London in June last; told something of
the workings of the convention; described
several of the:principal buildings in Lon
don and the habits of the people,; gave a
glimpse of his trip from London to Paris;
related his ascent of the Eiffel tower;
dwelt few moments with the French, in
their Paris homes; went into Alpine
Switzerland to some extent, and; then
came on back to England and America.
Mr.. Bright is a good speaker in the
double sense of being eloquent and in
telligent, and the people here are glad to
hear him at any time.

FARM s FOREST.


Liz Ql0 MANURE
". D. Boynton, In Prairie Farmer.
Every garden should be supplied with
tank or large barrel for holding liquid
manure. No matter how heavy a coat OF
common manure has been plowed or
spaded under, good sprinkling OF liquid
manure, especially in dry time, will
never come amiss. 1t often happens that
the plants do not get hold OF the ma
nure. that has been deeply buried perhaps
until quite late in the season. Ii liquid
manure be applied occasionally IN the
meantime, the plants will not suffer for
want Of food. The liquid is always In an
Immediately available form, an important
consideration in the garden where the
vegetables are quick-growers and fast
feeders.
Partially rotted manure is best for this
purpose. Fill barrel half-fall OF ma
nure and the remainder with soft water.
A stout stick should be kept in the barrel
to be used for stirring ur the mass occa-
sionally.
If very rich application is required,
the mixture may be put on in semi
liquid form, or very thick. Refill the barrel
with manure occasionally through the sea-
son. All garden vegetables thrive won
derfully well when treated to liquid ma
nure in dry time. Fertilization by fl
tration is the most natural of all means
used for the application of manure to the
roots Of plants. The trees of the forest
and the grasses of the plains are fertilized
in this way.
Liquid manure should be applied at
night on freshly worked soil. If only
the clear liquid from the top Of the barrel
is to be used, the sprinkler is good to ap-
ply it with, but if applied thick, an old
pail and dipper will do as we'll as any
thing.

X. q. Live StOck luulC8tOr.
Over the principal corn States and from
the Mississippi valley eastward to the
New England coast, the weather the past
week was relatively cool. The average
daily temperature of the season from JAN
uary to August II differs less than one
degree from the normal weather through
out the central valleys, the middle ATTAIN
tic States and the northern portion of the
gulf States. There has been more rain
than usual generally throughout the
Southern and New England States and in
portions of Missouri, Kansas and Nebras-
ka. Slight changes in rainfall have been
reported in northern Michigan. The
weather has been very favorable for har-
vest work in Dakota and Minnesota. The
spring wheat has been practically secured
with good yield reported. but more rain
is needed in Dakota for late crops. In
the states of the Ohio valley, Guiding Ohio
Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Kansas and
Iowa, the crops are greatly improved by
the favorable weather of the last week.
In these states the corn crop is in excel
lent condition and maturing rapidly. A
A large crop of oats has been harvested
and the hay crop is much heavier than
expected at the first of the month. In
Michigan the cool nights were unfavorable
to corn, aud some damage resulted to the
crop in Missouri from local storms and

Plants NOXiOuS To Insects.
Prairie Farmer

fTdlrle r6rucr
Prof. E. S. Golf has translated for the
Garden list of plants reported to drive
away insects, and which appeared origi-
nally in Revue Horticole. The vertical
ton of the statements is vouched for by
Prof. Golf. But if the remedies are not
more valuable than in the case of walnut
leaves, they can hardly be said to be val
liable in the West. The statement is as
follows:
1t has been shown by repeated expert
ments that the nasturtium, Trop@olum,
planted about the trunks of apple trees
infested with the woolly aphis, will event.
ually rid the trees of this pest. The in
sects are much reduced in numbers the
first year, and all disappear the second
season, if the planting is repeated.
The roots of the black henbane, Hyos-
cyamus niger, placed in granaries will
drive away rats.
The Lepidium ruderale, a plant be-
longing to the same genus as the garden
pepergrass, will free beds bugs.
The common tansy, Tanacetum vulgare,
used as litter in the kennel, will rid dogs
of feas.
The ox-eye daisy, Chrysanthemum leu
canthemum, mixed with the litter of sta
bles will drive away flies from the horses.
The fresh leaves of the black elder, Sam
bucus nigra, will rid cabbages of caterpil-
lars.
The castor oil plant. Ricinus communis,
has been successfully used to protect the
the grapevine from injury by moles.
The buckwheat, Fagopyrum, protects
cabbages and radishes from the hea-bee-
tie, Haltica.
The leaves of the chamomile, Anthems,
rubbed upon the skin of horses, protect
them from annoyance by flies. A decoc-
ton Of leaves of the walnut, Juglans, ans
wers the same purpose.
In addition to these it may be men
toned that decoction of the leaves of the
common burdock, Lappa officinalis, ap-
pears to have considerable value for pro-
tecting the roots of cabbages and onions
from injury by maggots, Anthomyia, and
of the strawberry plant from damage by
the white grub, Lachnosterna fusca.
