THE EAL.

I think the song that's sweetest
Is the one that's never sung;
That lies at the heart Of the singer
,ts Too grand for mortal tongue.
And sometimes in the silence
Between the day and night
+ He fancies that it's measures
s-y Bid farewell to the night
n A picture that is fairer
Than all that have a part
Among the masterpieces
In the marble hall of art
Is the one that haunts the painter
In all his golden dreams,
i And to the painter only
Areal picture seems.
The noblest, grandest poem
Lies not in blue and gold.
Among the treasured volumes
That rosewood bookshelves hold;
But in bright, glowing visions
1t comes to the poets brain,
And when he tries to grasp II
He finds his effort vain.
A fairy hand from dreamland
Beckons here and there,
And when we strive to clasp IL
1t vanishes into air,
And thus our fair ideal
Floats away just before.
And we with longing spirits
Reach for it evermore.

Atlanta Cor. Chicago Times-Herald.
The most important step taken In the
ARRANGEMENT and scope of the exposition
was the granting OF space for an exhibit
by the negro race. under the entire SUI
pervision and control Of the negro him
self. Whatever may be the result, II is
considered both by the whites and the
blacks as a step toward solving the racial
question. Whether II will have any real
significance is doubted. The exhibit can
not be said TO be representative OF the
100000 negroes, but rather as showing
what can be done and Is being done by
the few who stand IN the front rank of
advancement. II designed as an object
lesson to the uneducafed and unskilled
masses OF the race. II might have salu-
tary effect in squirting them on toward
better education and to preparing them
selves for taking more responsible POSI-
tions in the trades. workshops and mills.
Instead, however. Il Is display OF what
has been accomplished by a few OF the
more highly educated negroes and is even
a greater advertisement for the colleges
and schools from which nearly all of the
displays come. IL Is an exhibit OF the
unexceptional and the remarkable. and Il
rather a suggestion as TO the possibilities
for the enlightenment OF the race than q
forecast as to the future solution of ths
problem of what is TO become OF this peo-

Farming Too Much Land,

want to assert that many farmers
are cultivating more land than they can
cultivate well. The man who only farms
the acres he can cultivate well will
make more clear money than the man
who skins over large number of acres
only half titled. | heard a merchant
say the other day that farmers had no
settled policy in regard to their bust
uess. All farmers with whom l am &C
quainted have settled policy, and prac-
tice some kind of rotation of crops,
but the settled policy of some is not the
best policy, and their rotation of crops
may not be the most advantageous. All
of them make plans, but many of their
plans are not good and result in disas-
ter; their estimates are far out of the
way. One of the poorest farmers l ever
knew planned his work as carefully as
could be, apparently, but his plans were
bad, because his judgment was weak
and his reasoning powers deficient. A
farmer can plan his business just as
well when he is blowing, or at other
work, as he can to sit down and study
and plan. Farmers are of two classes
those who work too much and those who
work too little. The second class is by
far the most numerous; this is the class
that should be preached to and spurred
up to more vigorous eXertion. The men
who succeed ia farming, as in all pur-
suits, are the men who study aud work
the hardest. Speculation is not farm
ing. The Spectator may make a for
tune to-day and lose it the next. The
farmer who wants to get rich by farm
ing must expect TO work hard for num-
Der of years. Brains are a good thing
to have, and are not to be despised, but
the successful farmer finds it nece ssary
to use all the brains and about all the
bodily strength he has in order to sue
coed. | never knew but one man who
worked too hard; he said in his last sick
ness: Some people blamed me for
working too hard, but took pleasure in
it," No person should work 80 hard
during the day that he can't sleep well
at night and feel rested in the morning.
What many farmers most need is not
less land and more hard work, but more
enthusiasm in their business, and more
thorough cultivation of the acres which
they attempt to cultivate, and see if
you don't grow as many bushels on five
acres as you formerly did on eight to
ten acres.-C. W. Norris, in Agricul-
tural Epitomist.

and should be extensively tried. The
common willow, being a coarse feeder
and rapid grower, reveling in wet and
swampy land, has also been commended
as one of the very best agents for the
destruction of malarial germs. Its
roots spread widely through the soil,
while its LEAKAGE is simply enormous in
proportion to it's woody development.
The three sorts of willow grow with

fects may be produced by planting

Clipped and Condensed.

A LARGE sheep farm in Illinois
raised during the past season $4,000
bushels of turnips at cost of six and
one-fourth cents per bushel, in add.
ton to the cost of sowing the seed.
AN advant ,ge in raising heavy horses
IL that they are easy to train and may
be sold always when mature, doing the
farm work while growing. Brood
mares also do best when worked regu-
larly.
RAISE cattle, horses, hogs and poul
try enough to consume all the grain
and roughness on the farm, and that
mortgage will soon be lifted. The
farm will fertilize itself meanwhile.
Do not overstock.
Do not forget that grade animal
will not breed all his good qualities.
Nothing but a thoroughbred will give
you improved stock from your mares
and heifers, or from the droves and
hocks. Do not waste your time.
THOSE who take prizes on vegetables
at the fairs know the value of fertilizers.
1t is seldom that the expert growers
rely on manure, though they do not
discard it, but they are liberal users of
fertilizers and apply it at the proper
time.
WORMS in horses, says a writer, are
often caused by hard work, poor food
and general neglect. For ordinary cases
of worms, common salt, nutritious food
and pure water will prove satisfactory.
Salt should always be kept in the stalls
of horses.
Hoe pens should be kept scrupu.
lousy clean. Well bred hogs are nat
urally clean animals, and they will keep
so if they have the opportunity. Pens
should have three apartments-one for
eating, one for sleeping, and one for
their waste matter.
WATERPROOF paper, which may be
used for protection to plants, is OBJ
tanned by soaking MANILA paper in a
solution made by dissolving shellac in
hot borax water. That is, the borax is
dissolved in hot water, and the shellac
added, to any consistency desired.
UPON the ordinary farm, four cents
will pay the cost of growing mutton
pound. Good mutton is made from
good food; ensilage is better than dry
food, but mixed ration is best, as it is
for all stock. Sheep need dry stable,
though not necessarily warm one.
For the farm, for the road, and for
every kind of practical work, the fast
walking horse is a valuable animal.
We wonder when horsemen will awake
and pay some attention to the develop.
ment of this trait. Do not let the fast
trotting craze run away with your judg
ment.
If the lawn is sickly, get some wood
ashes and apply them freely. There
will be no danger of applying too much.
The rain will carry the soluble portions
down to the roots. After the grass
begins to start out, apply nitrate of soda
at the rate of 100 pounds per acre on
the lawn.
NEARLY all who seek pure breeds of
poultry inquire: (which breed pro-
duces the best layers?" The fact is
there is not the difference of dozen
eggs in year between the best and
the least, but there is great difference
in the hardness of breeds. The best
layers are not the hardest.

Preyentiyes of Malaria.

Scarcely section of our country is
free from malarial disease in some of
its forms. Many localities formerly
free from malaria have recently been
visited by this insidious foe of human
ity. Two reasons are given for this re-
suit: First, the ponds and swamps
have been dried up, and the lower forms
of organic matter have been exposed to
the air; and second, wells and springs
have become so low that the water is
very impure, aud no doubt its use pro-
duces an unhealthy state of the human
body. If the use of impure water alone
were the cause of malarial difficulties,
the remedy would be simple, namely, to
substitute pure water instead, if it could
be had, or, by filtration and other means,
purify what was at hand. The malarial
influence arising from swamps or
marshes can only be counteracted by
aerating the soil and thus getting rid of
the lower organisms resident there. BY
means OF drainage the sour soil water is
carried off, the air enters and decay is
completed-the poison is destroyed and
more healthful condition ensues. But
there are vast stretches of country
where these means cannot be employed
and other methods must be provided.
1t is now pretty we'll proven by actual
paintings in California of the blue gum
tree, or eucalyptus of Australia, that by
its use over a sufficient area the malarial
tendencies can be counteracted. I'm
fortunately, by actual test, we find that
the eucalyptus globosa will not endure
the cold of this section OF the Union.
What, then, can we employ? Professor
Maury proved at the Washington OBJ.

From the City to the Farm.

The present'idea is to get people out
of the cities into the country. 1t is
held that the cities, as rule, have been
built too fast and must now wait in the
shadows of adversely for the country to
grow up and give them another chance
for advancement. A year or so ago
the progressive mayor Of Detroit inau-
gurated relief experiment for the con-
gested city by getting some of the un-
employed outside upon half-acre garden
truck patches. Some measure of sue
cess attended this, and most of the large
cities are trying to do something of a
similar character. President Stickney,
of the Great Western railroad, and
some others, are touching the problem
in another way. The aim is to estab-
fish colonies-in way that will enable
the industrious poor to secure homes
without the demoralizing element of
charity having place in the scheme.
1t has been stated in the papers that
land for the first colony has been Sc
cured at Stanton, small station on the
Great Western thirty-five miles from
St. Paul. 1t is not designed for any
man to have more than forty acres of
land. The new agricultural gospel is
"a little farm well titled" 1t is too
large theme for consideration here,
but an educational campaign is needed
on that line. The economic prophets
see in the early future turn in the
tide that has been rushing the people
into the hard struggle for existence in
the stagnated cities-toward the country
and revival of prosperity 1t is to be
hoped their vision is clear.-North-
western Agriculturist.

Summer Food for Hogs.

While there is difference of opinion
among practiced breeders as to the
economy of full feeding all classes of
cattle and sheep during summer, there
is more general agreement that, as
rule, it is wise to feed boh pigs and
other hogs literally all through the
season. The great value of some
green food for hogs is also gener-
ally recognized. Good clover pas
ture is one of the best places for
both brood sows and their pigs. A
mixture of grass is desirable rather
than otherwise. Of all classes, perhaps,
blue grass is the best liked by hogs.
Orchard grass has advantages from its
early and luXuriant growth, and because
of its unusual rapidity of growth after
being cut and eaten off even in dry
weather when the blue grass grows
slowly or scarcely at all. We much like
rye for spring pasturage of sows and
pigs. 1t starts its growth very early in
the spring and is quite palatable to the
hogs. When no other provision has
been made, il will be worth while to try
early sowing of spring rye with clover.
This cannot be pastured so early as that
sown in the fall, but often gives a good
lot of fool Some leave the fall-sown
rye to mature after pasturing, and al
low the hogs to harvest the grain. A
mixture of oats and field peas is much
liked by good many hog raisers. The
peas generally do better in fairly north
ern latitudes than further south, but
wherever garden peas do we'll it ought
to be possible TO get fair results from
the field varieties. 1t is naturally rec
commended to cover peas three or four
inches. When the land has been pre-.
pared they may be sown with a grain
drill. In many cases good results have
come from sewing broadcast at the rate
of two or three bushels per acre, then
blowing them under, sowing the oats
on the plowed surface and narrowing
them in. The mixed crop may be cut
and fed green, or the hogs may be
turned into the field or lot. There is
much waste when this is done while
the crop is green, unless the lot is di-
vided. AS means of saving labor,
some good hog growers leave the crop
until nearly mature, then turn the hogs
in, removing them if rains enough
come to make the ground muddy, turn
ing in again after the ground has dried.
Even if it be thought best not to try the
peas, good feed is cheaply supplied to
the hogs by oats alone. We much like
green corn for hogs in summer, says a
writer. If early varieties of sweet
corn are planted they are ready for use,
stalk and ear, by the middle of July, at
least in Illinois. Planted in rows closer
together than where larger varieties are
grown, the yield is fair. Not much
need be planted of these; larger varie-
ties of sweet corn, then early varieties
of Dent corn, furnishing succession of
food. When the stalks begin to dry in
the fall, the ears alone may be fed, the
stalks making excellent food for cattle
or horses. Press.
