ference. 1t will be REV. DIR. CLARK,
under the direction Founder of the League
of Prof. Rowland ID. Williams, assisted
by the Park sisters, of Boston, and q
chorus of 500 voices. An immense chorus
of children from the public schools of
Chattanooga will also participate. Sun
rise prayer meetings will be held each
morning in the churches and on Lookout
Mountain. Sunday morning will be de-
voted to sermons by the bishops and visit
ing ministers in the churches of the city
and suburbs. Sunday afternoon there
will be mass meetings in the largest
churches, addressed by eminent ministers
and laymen. The regular conference
meetings will be held in the great tent,
capable of holding 10000 people, where
the opening sermon will be preached by
Bishop Galloway, and the closing sermon
and conservation service by Bishop Joyce.
The local arrangements for this immense
gathering have been entirely in the hands
of the young people of Chattanooga
leagues, and they have been managed with
a wisdom and skill and thoroughness that
would have done credit to veterans in such
service. Nothing has been omitted. Every
difficulty and emergency appears to have
been anticipated and provided for. The
best and most extensive arrangements
with the railroads have been made, secur-
ing half rates from almost every portion
of the country. Excursions to the battle
fields and points of interest have been
provided for, as well as side trips to Nam
moth cave and other points en- route.

No; the mountain sheep does not leap
from great heights. and land either
upon his horns or his feet He knows
the strength OF his materials too well
to try 1t. His horns and skull might
successfully Withstand the shock, but
the weight of his body would break his
spinal column In two or three places, to
say the least of 1t. 1t Is true that when
hard pressed a herd will sometimes
plunge down terribly steep incline,
sliding and bounding from point to
point, until they plough into the "slide-
rock" below; but as to leaping over
sheer precipice, / never saw: any one
who even claimed to have ever wit
messed such thing. The old rams often
fight by butting each other terrifically,
and often splinter, or sometimes break
of, the ends of their horns In that way.

Fruit for tile Family.

No matter how far from market a
farmer may be, he can grow patch Of
strawberries and be sure of market
ut home. 1t is astonishing how much
fruit of all kinds can be eaten by a
small family when the supply is I'M
stinted. There are few neighborhoods
where those who begin by growing a
supply of wberries for home use
will not find a market springing up
around them from neighbors who keep
on in the old ruts because they think
they haven't time to attend to such
small affairs as the culture Of berries
They are small in size, but more bushels
of strawberries can be grown per acre
than Of any kind Of grain, and the fruit
may be sold cheap and yet bring more
than grain profits.

Straw.

1t will pay to have an open shed, or
some kind Of shelter, for the straw at
harvest time. Straw answers many
purposes, and is Indispensable on some
farms. If bright and clean, 1t is often
relished by cattle. Whether wheat is
high or low, there Is a class of farmers
who will always grow at least a small
plot Of wheat or rye for the straw, or
buy it from those who have 1t to dis
pose of. The scarcity of straw will be
an inducement to growing grain In all
sections. l

Good Idea.

A new use for homing pigeons has

every large steamer should carry sup
ply Of them, to liberate in the event Of
an accident. Pigeons have a record OF
800 and 1000 miles a day. If the Gas

It is believed that news of her would

Blue Grass.

Blue grass forms very nearly per-
feet pasturage. The fall rains make
1t furnish nutritious food until the
snow covers it, so that the grazing sea-
son is heightened in the autumn as well
as FASTENED In the spring. 1t is the
least injured by tramping of all the
grasses. No words can speak for it as
can the fact that it is the basis for the
finest agricultural product grown upon
American soil-the Kentucky horse.

Level Potato Culture.


Almost everybody now agrees that
level culture produces the largest and
best crops of potatoes. Hut 1t is inn
possible to have level culture unless
the seed potatoes are planted deep
enough for the tubers to form under the
soil. The constant tendency of the
tubers is to rise as they grow. This, IL
the seed has been planted only one or
two inches deep, makes IL necessary
To draw dirt around the hill, making a
mound which sheds the water on either
side. This also cuts the potato roots in
the middle of the row. 1t requires dry
and rich ground to make successful
deep planting and level culture posi-
BILE. But soil without stagAant water
near the surface b always necessary
for the potato crop. If the sub-soil Is
filed with water through winter and
spring 1t Is impossible to grow good
potato crops on such land the following
season by any method.
Potted Strawberry Plants.
These are obtained In this way.
Flower pots of size three inches in
diameter at the top are sunk around the
parent plants level with the ground.
They are filed with fairly rich soil.
