WHEN BESSIE DIED.

When Bessie died,
We braided her brown hair and tied
II Just as her own little hands
Had fastened back the silken strands
A thousand times the crimson bit
OF ribbon woven into it
That she had worn with childish pride
Smoothed down the dainty bow
When Bessie died.
When Bessie died,
We drew the nursery blinds aside,
And as the morning in the room
Burst like primrose into bloom,
Her pet eanary's cage We hung
Where she might hear him sing :
And yet not note be tried,
Though she lay listening, folded-eyed
When Bessie died.
When Bessie died,
We writhed in prayer unsatished;
We begged of God, and he did smile
In silence on us all the while;
And we did see him through tears,
Enfolding that fair form Of hers
She laughing back against His love
The kisses we had nothing Of,
And death to us He still denied
When Bessie died.

Cultiyating Corn.



The farmers who advocated deer
cultivation, OF corn, should, without
prejudice, consider some Of the obiec-
tions offered by those who practice
shallow culture, especially those men
who gave the last deep plowing when
laying by the corn. Deep plowing
cuts the roots of the corn badly, and II
a drouth follows the corn suffers and
the growth is retarded to such an ex-
tent that it often does not ripen until
after frost. Abundance Of rain is the
only salvation Of a cornfeld when
thus deeply cultivated.
Then the weeds which were buried
deeply are brought to the surface and
given opportunity to germinate.
Farmers in the great corn growing
sections who are making a success Of
this crop are not disturbing the soil
below three OF four inches. This top
soil, however, is most thoroughly cul-
tivated, and is kept clear Of weeds.
This method Of cultivation gives the
dust mulch which Is great conseryer
OF moisture. II such corn cultivation
doctrine is not according to your faith
make a test Of it on that patch you
consider not very promising and per
haps you may be converted.
