Past are the seasons when first we met,
Dear we will hold them in memory yet;

Now we are gathered to say goodbye.

Others will crowd tothe schoolhousc door
We bid you goodbye and return no more

A FEW FACTS ABOUT GARLIC.

About three-fourths Of the garlic used in
this country is imported from Italy. 1t
comes in hampers containing ahout 40
pounds each. Garlic is raised in this coun-
in New Mexico, All garlic, both imported
and American, is put up IN strings OF
punches, something like the punches in
which onions were once COMMONLY sold in
this country, but much longer American
garlic is shipped in crates and barrels; some
from the far Southwest comes in long ely
indrical baskets.
Garlic is sold by the pound, or by the
single bulb, which is sold for penny In
its commercial form, whole or dry, garlic
does not yield the strong smell for which 1t
is famous. In II wholesale product estab-
quantities there was no noticeable Bdor
from it. But If one of the several SNEAKER
bulbs OF which each root il composed.
which are called cloves OF garl.e, be broken
off and broken in Two, the por Orful oder
becomes peieeptibe.
