THE BELL.


(From the French OF Ange Pitou.)
The bell In solemn language,
With deep, pathetic tone,
Proclaims - all the village
Another life Is gone.
And many pause and Ionder,
Think of the soul that's fled,
And of their own departed
Loved ones among the dead.
or her, the gentle maiden,
so joyous, pure and free,
Whose loveliness lies buried
Beneath the graveyard tree.
OF him, the youth brave, manly,
SOULFUL of hope and trust
To wage and win life's battle,
Now mold FIRING In the dust.
Some of the aged and careworn.
O'erburden'd with the years,
Who weary fell a-sleeping,
Half-smiling thro' their tears.
The mother of her infant,
The father Of his son;
oh every heart Is yearning
For some dear life that's done!
Ring out, sad bell, your message,
The dirge of misery;
Be ready for the summons
To toll knell DER me.

on the finish.
The worker bee performs all the
work of the hive; gathers in honey
and pollen and water, secretes the
wax, builds the combs, ripens and
caps the honey, nurses the brood,
queen and drones, defends the
colony against invasions, and lives
during the working season about 45
days. A good, strong colony should
contain about $4,000 of them.
The ordinary horse hardly has a
price. Life is too short to breed
grade sires or any other but the best
and pure bred mares; and it is so
with any other stock, for that mat
ter; but, unfortunately, the number
OF heavy draft mares is limited now,
and we must begin to grade up as
we did generation ago.
Colts raised in stables may be
larger in breadth and aptitude, but
they never attain the more essen
tial elements in confinement. Sun,
heat, fresh air, active exercise and
quickened respiration develop the
force, energy, suppleness and mus
cular strength of the horse. Like a
child, they need to play.

horticulture.

To get the best advantage from the
garden it must give something new
every week during the season. To
accomplish this it is necessary to be
planting seed of some variety con-
tinuously up to the LIST of August.
In storing apples, if you have
plenty of room in the cellar, there is
nothing better than the woven wire
barrels in which fruit has been
shipped to the grocer. Many who
have tried them will have nothing
else.
Equable atmospheric conditions
are essential to the preservation of
all the peculiar qualities of the
delicious apple. Cellars for storage
should be kept just above the frost
point. Let no frost enter, and there
will be no torrent of steam when the
cellar door is opened.
The advantage with the dwarf
pear is that it comes into bearing
early, never attains a great size,
and hence is we'll adapted to plant

They bear within two or three years
after planting out, and several crops
may be obtained before blight de-
stroys the trees.
Standard pears, if kept healthy,
will boar fruit long time, but are
longer in coming into bearing than
the dwarf, and need more sun. A
rich soil is needed for vigorous
growth, and this will greatly aid in
preventing blight, as a vigorous tree

Decision of the Supreme
Court at Knoxville.

Court at Knoxville.
KNOXVILLE, Nov. l4.-The Su-
preme Court to-day decided the
special act of 1896 granting the pow
er of issuing 1925, 900 of bridge bonds
by Knox County to be valid. This
determines the constitutionality of
nearly 200 special acts of the General
Assembly giving power to issue
bonds for county purposes, and max
ing valid nearly $l0,OOO,OOO of bonds
previously issued under special
acts. In the same opinion ma
iority of the court held that no
county had right unless conferred
by the General Assembly to make
bonds payable in gold.
The Supreme Court to-day de-
cided that the city of Knoxville did
not have to pay 1926 900 for bonds OF
the Knoxville, Cumberland Gap &

been in court for over six years.

Changed His Mind.

An Indiana editor was going to
marry rich widow. Everybody
said it was for her money and it
made the editor weep to be accused
of such mercenary thoughts and he
persuaded the widow to turn over
all the property to her daughter, so
people couldn't say that. She did.
Then the editor changed his mind
and eloped with the daughter

Agriculture.

One of the best plans of manage
ment is to pillow up sod land and
plant to corn, then follow with oats
and clover, then with wheat and
grass, and back to corn again. This
gives good rotation, good variety
and good distribution of work.
In most cases where meadows are
to be plowed up and planted to corn
it will be advisable to pillow in the
fall. The freezing and thawing dur
ing winter will aid materially in
, lessening the work of preparing the
soil in good condition for the spring
planting.
In turning sod land in the fall let
one blowing lap upon another, leav-
ing the surface rough. More rapid
rotting will follow than if turned
over flat and close. OF course, the
more thoroughly the sod is rotted
the more easily will it be prepared
in the spring.
Silage is as easily digested as the
same food preserved dry, and it aids
digestion in keeping the organs in
healthy activity. Horses and cat
tie show the beneficial effects in
their hair and skin. No animals re-
iect it unless decay is present. II
has certainly proved an important
and economical addition to the dairy
farm.
Three tons of silage are equal il
feeding value to one ton OF hay. Or
this basis a much larger amount O.
digestible food can be procured from
an acre of silage corn than from al
acre of hay. The food equivalent o.
four tons of hay an acre can easily
be produced upon an acre of lane
planted to corn.
1t has been estimated that if tn,
roots from good stand OF clover
after it has been cut for hay, b.
plowed under, an average acre viii
return about four tons TO the soil
It will be readily seen that the de
composition of such mass of or
ganic matter will greatly enrich tn
ground.
A clover sod, turned under thi
fall and left to decay during the win
ter, will furnish an excellent see
bed for potatoes next spring. 1t vii
bring heavy crop OF clean, SCUM
tubers, and leave plenty of plan
food for ensuing grain crops.
The farmer who has just enoug
land to cultivate, and no more tina
enough, should count himself fol
tunate individual. He can the
cultivate every acre to its fulles
capacity, and with the greatest con-
fort, pride and profit to himself. H
will find delight in farming.
Often the complaint of too muc
rain, by the farmer, is only cor
fession that his lands stand badly i
need of draining. Almost any goo
agricultural land ought to be
cultivable condition "a hours afte
being thoroughly water soaked.
With the improvement of see
lies the great hope of increase
profit in the cultivation of sma
grains. Not only sow the produC
of selected heads for season, BIT
continue to select the best heads fC
