The Bell of the Angels,

1t is said, somewhere, at twilight
great bell softly swings,
And may listen and hcarken
To the wondrous music that rings
II he put from his hearts inner chamber
All the passion, pain and strife,
Heartache and weary longing
That throb in the pulses of lie;
II he thrusts from his soul all hatred,
All thoughts Of wicked things,
He hear in the holy twilight
How the bell of the angels rings.
Let us look In our hearts and question
Can purer thoughts enter in
To soul if it be already
The dwelling of thoughts of sin?
So, then, let ponder little;
Let US look in hearts and
II the twilight bell Of the angels
Can ring for you and me.

Grain Fertilizers.

In the southern states there are many
who use cottonseed meal as fertilizer
to furnish nitrogen in preference to
using nitrate of soda or any other of
the fertilizing materials that contain
nitrogen, as tankage, dried blood or
nsh waste. But it is one of the pecul-
iarities of this meal and oc linseed meal
