How to Make Southern Farms Pay.

r. w. Hale, a Pike County (Geor-
gia) farmer, has realized the value of
diversified crops on farm by his ex.
perience during the year just closed.
He made forty.six bales Of cotton aud
sold it for less than it cost him to pro.
duce it. On the other hand Mr.. Hale
has q young orchard of forty-six acres
of fruit trees. Only ten acres were
old enough to bear any fruit last sea-
son, but, nevertheless, fruit men paid
him one thousand dollars cash to let
them ship what they wanted to from
the orchard. When they got through
a distiller gave Mr.. Hale two barrels
of brandy for what fruit was left.
After this, the hogs had feast on the
balance. Atlanta Constitution.

GREATEST AGRICULTURAL CITY.
Features Which Make New York stand
Out Above All Other cities.

1
| Out Above All Other Cities.
While the enthusiastic manipulation
of figures has been dilating on thu
commercial, manufacturing and finan
cial prominence of Greater New York,
he has forgotten the singular fact thai
it is the greatest agricultural city I'M
der one Government on the globe, says
writer in Leslie's Weekly. The
larger part of its territory Is under
cultivation to-day. Richmond and
Queens Counties are almost wholly
farm lands, with more acreage than
oil the other boroughs put together
The agricultural and garden products
of the city reach total value as great
as that Of some Granger States. Dur
ing the next few years politicians al
least will realize the Importance of the
agricultural element of the Greater
New York. The limits of the new
city embrace 1856, 800 acres Territor-
tally, it is the largest Of cities, and il
is as large as some of the States in the
Union. or the Commonwealth, only
New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois and
Ohio exceed it in population. London
is the only other metropolis with more
inhabitants. Our friend, the sta
tistican, says that in 1916 the two
cities-London and New York-will
have an equal number of residents.
New York has more miles of paved
streets, sewers and street railways
than any other city. It's debt exceeds
that Of all the States N the Union.
New York is to be city OF bridges
and tunnels. The various boroughs
must be connected in order that the
convenience of the people may be
served and that the communal feeling
may be developed. One new bridge
over the East River is being construct
ed; two others are projected. A mag
nificent bridge over the Harlem River
is nearly finished, and contracts have
been made for the erection of two
others. Staten Island may be connect
ed by tunnel under the Kill Won Kull,
and thus, by railway and ferries, o.

The public library in Bryant Park,
the geological and botanical gardens,
the additions to the museums of art
and history, and the public baths
which are under way, are merely the
beginning of colossal undertakings IN
this and other directions for the COM
fort, convenience and instruction of
its citizens. Parks and recreation
piers are to be increased in number,
and magnificent drives are planned.
The ocean beach Of the new city will
afford opportunity for the laying out
of water front parks which in accessi-
bility, healthfulness and popularity
will not be equaled in the whole world.
Including the underground rapid
transit as planned, and not taking into
account the cost of its probable extern
sions, the expenditure for the great
public improvements along the lines
indicated will be nearly 2O0,O0O,0OO.
This sum does not include the cost of
the ordinary city's work, such as street
paving and the like.

her hair, her arms--she is shorn OF oil
her ornaments and the white flesh
CLEANS bare and creamily above the
fall of her lace.
Stepping softly, she comes to the
very edge Of the stage. Then she folds
her hands upon her breast, and, with
out accompaniment, sings simple
ballad that stirs every heart in the
audience.
"Could you come back to me, Douglas,
Douglas,
In the old likeness that know,
I would be so faithful and loving, Doug,
las, .
D ouglas, Douglas, tender and true"
A tender expression comes into the
face Of the prima donna as she sings,
and her eyes, seeking out certain
spot, dwell there. The rich trills and
roulades of the operatic pieces fade
and grow dim beside the almost pain.
fnl sweetness Of the simple ballad.
Her very soul seemed to rise and fall
with the ebb and flow of the strain. It
was replete with gentleness, sadness
and an infinite, unconscious longing.
There was scarcely q dry eye in the
audience. Those who had sweet,
tender memories were living them
over again, while those across whose
path no shadow as yet had fallen real
lied fsuddenly and acutely what tragic
possibilities life might have in store
for them.
None understood the apparent
change in the mood OF the singer
possibly 1t was not mood at all, only
trick, coup de theater, put on in
coquettish affectation after her ovation,
for there is no one quite 80 proudly
vain and maniere as your truly great
artist.
But when she was at home-alone
in her splendid apartment, amid the
many trophies OF her success, the
singer knew it was no affectation.
Yet what was it that was lacking?
Here were gems, there flowers, all the
votive offerings Of success and the lad
der of fame to which she had aspired,
she had climbed to the very topmost
round, yet something was lacking.
She hears again the thunder Of ap-
plause, the music throbs like hot wine
in her veins. All, yes! that was o
triumph indeed
What is this strange pain that comes
to her in the very height of her glory,
disquieting her and making fame seem
incomplete?
A knock on her door, and her maid
come to her, late as it is, with o note.
She takes it with listless fingers, but
suddenly her eyes burn and the color
surges back to her pale cheek. 1t is
merely cartl--a mans card-but
scrawled across its back in hasty lines
with q lead pencil are the words:
"May he come back to you in the
old likeness that you knew"
1t was signed simply, "Donglas. ten
der and true"
And no came back to her Oh the NOR
row in the old likeness, only with eyes
that were somewhat graver grown and
hair that had a streak or two like q
silver artery running through it; and
as he held her hand and looked down
into her eyes the successful woman
found out what it was that
was lacking and why it was that the
perfect fulfilling of her ambition had
not satisfied her woman's heart.-The
Ledger.

waited to the highest point and she
could hold q mighty audience in thrall.
There had never been moment of
encouragement throughout the long
process, tedious as it seemed, for,
with ambition spreading the sails and
glory at the helm, the course was al
ways fair and promising aud the
haven close at hand. Many had
sought her hand since success had
shone upon her, but she had dismissed
them all with disdainful shrug.
There had been one in days gone by
bat why speak Of that now? She had
declined him of her own sweet will
only another small sacrifice on the al
tar of her ambition. And now she is
in the zenith of her success. She
makes her debut on the greatest stage
in the world tonight.
There is rustic and hum among
the audience, and programmes futter
like the wings Of white birds.
A hush follows the hum as the pri-
ma donna floats toward the footlights.
Her beauty is respondent in her
cleaning satin aud laces, and the
splendid jewels that sparkle like a
thousand suns on her bosom, neck
aad arms become her well.
And her, voice-ah! with what rich,
wild, perfect melody it rings out! 1t
throbs, it quivers, il swells in very
heaven of harmonious sounds.
The piece she has chosen is an OPP
cratic selection with fiute.like trills,
difficult roulades and rich cadences,
and she executes it faultlessly. One
moment her tones are soft as the
nightingale's the next breaking into
tumultuous fulness.
The audience is hushed, and scarce
ly programme hutters, and then
bursts forth in tremendous applause.
In tho midst of it her eyes, half dazed
with the intoxication of success, wan
der over the house. In the pit, close
to the footlights, they meet another
para pair that bring back old asso-
Citations, old thoughts, old memories,
long before this great, wonderful
achievement was dreamed of.
The last notes Of the prima donna's
cadenza die away in passionate thrill
ing.
Flowers are showered upon the
stage; wreaths, pyramids, loose
lunches. The lofty dome reverber.
atcs with the wild applause. Ladies
wave their lace handkerchiefs; gloves
split asunder in their wearers' en-
thusiasm. 1t is an ovation. Cries of
Encore! Bis! Encore! rend the air.
The whole vast opera.house is in an
uproar,
The singer, flushed with victory, re.
appears from the wings and bows her
thanks and appreciation, then hurried.
ly retires. But no! They will not
have it so. She must sing again.
The cries OF Encore! are louder than
before.
ooh, do You think she will not
come again?" cries lady, nervously,
as the wild storm continues without
response.
"Shc must. She cannot refuse"
But what is this? The cantatrice
has laid aside every gem, tho flashing
fires are gone from her bosom, from

is an immense one and the gulf is

cave and the great arch under the

by 100 feet of water, accumulated
