# the question as to who is the most
successful farmer in q, neighb hborhood
ware thoroughly studied, a great deal
more success in farming would result.
The most successful farmer sees the
mistakes which hasty action makes,
and therefore considers we'll before
hand everything he does, and avoids
the mistakes of rushing at job with
ou. considering the consequence. The
9:cst successful farmer is he who i'm
pTvves his intellectual faculties along
with the development of his industrial
faculties.
Some of the things the successful
farmer does are as follows: He con-
Eders well how to- prepare land for
next years crop. He labors at it un-
*lringly until thoroughly satisfied that
It is we'll worked and will produce a
crop OF No. grain. He clears his
land of rubbish and stones, and will
not hesitate to put in drains and ex-
pend money on improving the land
whenever he deems it necessary. He
carefully selects. what fields are best
for wheat and which for pasture. His
buil ldings are good, thus keeping his
stock in good condition. He selects his
dairy cows and his cattle for beef, he
selects the best breed of pigs and
other animals, and everything he has
is kept up to the standard.
He:is not a greedy, groveling old fel-
low. On the contrary, he enjoys life
In every way which he thinks does
him any good. He takes and studies
agricultural papers, newspapers and
books of an instructive sort, and al
low 8 his children good moral literature.
He goes to his wife for advice and
lays before her his plans for future
time. He: quietly attends to his busi-
ness at home and does not ask the pub
lie what he may, and may not do. In
all his outdoor zeal the farmer does
not forget his wife, but has everything
In the house as handy and convenient
as possible for her, Perhaps my stand
ard for fthe successful farmer is too
high; but every one of us ought to
try to- be as nearly the standard, a.
possible.-M. j. Mills, in Farm and

THERE is valley amidst the York
shire hills known as Coverdale.
from whose slopes, long years ago,
came pious Miles, who translated the
Bible, and who was called by the sim
pie folk Miles, of Coverdale, after the
place of his birth.
Very calm and very peaceful the lit
tie dale lies under the shadow of the
great hills, whose submits are purple
in the sweet summertide with their
royal mantle of fragrant heather, and
where the curlew and the. golden plo-
ver's cry alone breaks the gentl still-
ness that rests over the little world
beyond the haunts of restless activity
and hurrying life.
There is no railway in quiet Cover
dale, no. town to which the country
folk may wend their way, no shops save
the wonderful village emporium, where
everything in very small way may be
obtained, but where few fashions come
to startle the gayer minded Of the
maidens, or strange new devices in
neckties to dazzle the vision of the
country lads. Vi
To peep into the world necessitates
journey under the shelter. Of the lone
hillsides, along bonny lanes, en-
twined with pink and creamy tinted
honeysuckle, and green with waving
ferns; past the quaint inn, whose sign
is famous but long ago race horse,
called in the canny Yorkshire tongue
tn Lady Bah, and, finally, across the
moor into horse-loving Middleham,
where are people and shops, and many
inns with curiously painted sign posts
the Black Swan, and its brother, the
White Swan, and many others, too.
But down in Coverdale there is q
beautiful old church, set like jewel
in its surrounding of stately trees
and blossoming hedges, with the quiet
greenness of Gods acre lying stretched
about it, and the singing of 'nature's 5
choristers in the sweet air around
a place of peacefulness and repose,
where earth's burdens may fall from
one for little space, and Heavens ben
ison light softly on such of its children
as stay to pray and think awhile.

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS
The Governor Could Not Resist.

Gov. McMillin granted a respite in
the case of billiard Warren, sentenced
to hang last week at Woodbury., for the
murder of a neighbor. The family of
the prisoner, a wife and five children,
the oldest of whom is 10 years of age,
called upon the governor along with a
number of friends, and made heart
eending appeal for the life of the con-
demned man. Choked with emotion,
the governor consented to visit the
prisoner and talk with him. Accom-
panied by the family, he went to the
county Jail, where Warren was con-
fined. The scene at the cell was one
beyond description as the wife and chill
dren begged and cried for the life of
the husband and father. Gov. McMillin
granted a respite until June 8, and
will, no doubt, commute the sentence
to life imprisonment. This is the first
time in the history of the State where
a governor has visited a condemned
murderer.

A Pretty old Horse.

Rev. Frank Gunsaulus at one time be-
ieved that his parish work would be made
much easier for him if he possessed horse
on which to ride from place to place. so he
determined to purchase one Now what
Rev. Mr. Gunsaulus didn't know about a
horse would fill large volume, and as might
have been expected he fell into the hands of
the philistines. He saw nothing wrong with
the horse, however. He had told the man of
whom he bought it that he was not used to
riding, and so wanted a quiet animal, and in
this respect, at least, the horse fully came
up to the requirements. One day Rev. Mr.
Gunsaulus' father came to visit him, and
the, horse was proudly shown to him. Gun
saulus pere looked the horse over carefully.
well, Frank, he said, at last, che isn't
much on looks, is he?"
No." answered Frank, "but then, you
know, father, the Saviour rode a horse that
was anything but handsome"

The Chinch Bug.

The chinch bug has attacked the
wheat fields in Middle Tennessee, with
the result that the prospects are
changed to a great extent. Fields that
promised phenomenal yields will in
some cases not bring ten bushels. The
reports of the damage come from sew
eral counties in Middle Tennessee, and
from the three big wheat-growing
counties of Sumner, Wilson and Will
Hanson the most damaging reports
come. Half the crop has been eaten
up in places in Sumner county.
