The MESSAGE OF THE BELLS.

Ring out, hlithe bells Of the New Year!
Ring out to I'LL your summons clear,
Message Of hope, despair to Quell,
Is borne upon your silvery swell.
Ring, bells Of cheer, across the snow
Thu with courage faint hearts glow.
Hath friend seemed faithless, love grown
cold?
Hast lost that wand Of magic, gold?
Snddest of all hath death snatched one
Whose presence was to thee LIES un?
Yet look not back. The darkest cloud
But serves an azure sky to shrOud.
Thy friend his fealty yet may prove,
Love that could change was never love,
And folly 'twere lost wealth to mourn,
While tickle fortunes wheel doth turn.
Grim death, though conqueror Of clay,
Bows to Il mightler COnQueror's sway,
Thy loved one hath but crossed Times sen,
To it's fair shore-Eternity.

A ~MORNING-GLORY CULT.
Taking the Place Of the Chrysanthemun

Taking the Place Of the Chryknnthemum
in Japan.
As a floral sensation the chrysan;he-
mum may be said to have had it's day;
the carnation is going, going; aud seekers
after novelty among flower f%anciers are
signing for a new flower to conquer,
says the December Century. 1t is hardly
known, even to foreign residents in ia
pan, that that land, which has given us
so much of art and beauty, has lately re-
vived the culture Of it's most remurkab BILE
flower, the usagao, our morning glory.
For size, beauty, range of color and IL
Irritable variety there attained this sun
rise flower precedes all others, until its
cultivation has become a craze, which is
likely to spread to other countries, and
who knows ?-perhaps there Introduce the
current custom of 5-o'clOck-in-the-murn-
ing teas and garden parties.
AsagaO, the morning flower, is more
especially Japan's own blossom than the
chrysanthemum, which, like it, came
from China as il primitive sort of weed,
afterward to be evolved by japanese art
or magic into a floral wonder of a hun
dred varying forms.
We who know and grow the morning
glory as a humble backyard vine on IL
string-a vine with leaves like those Of
the sweet potato and puny little pink or
purple iowers-are as far in the floral
darkness as the Chinese, who know it
chiefly as a wild thing of fields and
he~dge-rows, the vine of 1.-The little rum
pets" or the dawn flower" that is en-
tangled with briers and bushes for miles
along the top of Peking's walls. The old
poetry and the old art do not seem to be
permcated with it, as in Japan, where
| the forms of vases, bowls and cups, the
| designs and paintings Of the greatest
masters. repeat the graceful lines of vine
/ and flower, and scores of famous poems
celebrate the asagao in written charac-
ters as beautiful to the eye as is their
| sound to the ear.
The asagao was brought to Japan with
| the Buddhist religion, that particular cult
| of early rising. Scholars and priests who
went over to study the new religion
brought back the seeds of many Chinese
plants. The tea plant came then, and
| Eisai brought the seeds of the sacred DO,
tree: and Tai Kwan. the Chinese priest
at the Obaku Temple in Vii. who may
have introduced the flower to Japan. was
one of the first to sing Of the asagao in
graceful outas, classic poems which

Care of Farm Implemanta.

Far more waste of farm implements is
due to rust and disuse than is the wear
of them while someone is working with
them. They are too often left exposed for
weeks and months during the worst
weather in the year. and thus treated did
not last one-third as long, as they should
not be fit to use any of the time. A con-
venient tool house near enough to the
barns to be always easily accessible, yet
not near enough to be in danger from
fires, will pay better than almost any
other investment on most farms.

Killing Pork Early.

After severe cold weather begins,
though the appetite of f%attening hogs i'm
proves, they need so much of the carbon
in their food to furnish heat that a much
smaller part of it can go to make fat.
There is very rarely any profit in keep
ing fattening hogs after the first of the
new year. During the holidays there is
a glut of fresh meats in market, so that
pork does not sell so we'll as it does
either earlier or later. But it is often
late in spring before pork makes much
advance over what it was early. This
advance the farmer can get just as well
by putting his pork in the barrel instead
of keeping it on the hoof, eating grain
without enough gain in weight to pay
for it. '

Woodpeckers as Insect Destrovers.

There is no longer the prejudice which
used to exist against the ~woodpecker as
used to be believed he pecked so rs to
start the sap to flowing, says the Amcri-
can Cultivator. The work he does is al
most always on dead wood. and he only
pecks holes in that to find the insect that
has deadened the wood and if allowed to
live would ultimately destroy the tree.
There is no more valuable insect destroy
err than the woodpecker. 1t is n of the
few birds that stay with us all winter,
and it's cheerful pecking can be heard in
almost n woodland at this season. The
only complaint we ever heard against the
woodpecker is that he destroys early cher
ries. But he has earned his part of the
cherries by previously destroying the in
sect enemies that would have killed the
tree,

SQUIRRELS In Corn Cribs,

voking part of it is that he destroys
far more corn than he eats. He cares
only for the chit or germ, leaving all the
rest as only fit for hog feed.

The Selection of Young SOWs.

In selecting young sows to be used as
breeders, care should be taken to secure
those that are we'll developed and give
promise of making good feeders. They
should be well fed, and made to develop
as rapidly as good health will permit, for
the feeding habit and constitution of the
mother is supposed especially to impart to
the young her own digestive system, and
it is natural. therefore, to conclude that
the thrifty, rapidly-growing young SOW
will impart those characteristics to her
offspring. Early maturity, together with
a vigorous constitution, is now the desired

The Farmers Pork Barrel.

The farmer who raises a few pigs for
his pork barrel may count the cost and
affirm that pigs do not pay, but where
a few pigs are raised they will consume
a large amount of material that would
be of no value except for their use.
When the pork barrel is full the farmer
is at least fortified for the winter with
meat, and in many cases where no pigs
are kept there is a waste of material that
could be utilized with the aid of ut least
one or two Dorkers.
