Engines that drew long trains Of car.
BraVe tan soldiers that went to wars.
Pranctng horses and wagons gay.
Rusty and silent they're laid away.
Tables and chairs and wee tea thines
Ousty skates and empty swings,
Dear little dolhes, small and xreat
Infough all the years In silence wait
But. ah. the precious little one
whose merry. restless life Is done
Though wrapped in silence, too, a space.
Shall lift again the same dear face.
With resurrection life aKlow,
When the heavenly trumpets blow.
In hope earth.s treasures lay away.
And wait the dawning Of the day.

few sittings of eggs from good stock.
In either case it is best to have a flock
of twenty to twenty-five common
hens on the home range for sitters
and mothers. For ordinary opera

TWO VALUABLE IMPLEMENTS.
The Plow and the Roller ConsiAereA
~ AaJ1nets to Sueeessfal
Farming.

To make practical the best modern
method of cultivation it is necessary
that the land be properly prepared
1t will not do, except in unavoidable
emergencies, to try to prepare the
soil after planting-it is adding labor
and subtracting from the sufficiency
of the crop; multiplying difficulties
and dividing results. The first process
in preparation is, of course, plowing;
but this does not finish the work. The
plow never leaves the soil in proper
condition for planting. After the
plow comes the broadcast harrow to
tumble the clods about, fill up the
burrows and prepare the surface for
the final process. The next imple-
meht to be used is one the Importance
of which has not been properly ap-
preciated in the southwest-the land
roller. The roller will crush the
clods. compact the soil and leave the
surface almost as smooth as an ~
phalt pavement, and will leave the
soil in the best possible condition
for the planter. But it is too soon
to discard the roller. 1t should follow
the planting, for it is essential to the
satisfactory termination of seed that
the soil be sA1mpacted around them.
1t has been demonstrated that the
termination of all kinds of seeds il
fastened, and the percentage of ger
mination depends lergely upon the
cl0seness Of their contact with the
soil. The gardener understands this

quency Of cultivation thai
makes or mars the crop
With sweeps . man may
go over seven, or even ten acres . day.
This broadcast cultivation enables the
farmer to cultivate his crop when il
needs it most, and return to the work
as soon rs the crop needs work again.
Then when it rains, all he has to do il
to go over it again. With the imple-
ments in too common use, it il almost
impossible to prevent . portion ut
least Of the crop from being oppressed
with weeds. Good cultivation can not
be done when it takes two weeks to
60 over the crop. Some weeds will
grow q foot high in that time. But
when one man can go over so acres in
one week, and do the same the next
week, or the week after, weeds have
a poor chance to perpetuate their
species. But speed is not the only ad-
vantage of these weeders. They do
the work in the best possible manner.
They can be run over corn or cotton.
or sorghum. or other cultivated crops
in an apparently reckless manner
without danger to the crop, and at the
time destroy every weed that has ap-
peared since the last trip Of the weed
er. The reason for this apparently
anomaly is that plants from seeds
buried two inches or more from their
rotts below the reach of the weeder.
while all weeds that come up within
q week or ten days, are from seeds
with half an inch of the surface, and
the teeth Of the weeder easily takes
them all. by the roots, while the corn
or cotton plant is merely pushed to
one side by one tooth, and to another
side by another tooth without dis
turbing the roots. The day Of fifteen
to twenty acres to the man has passed.
These improved implements enable
one man to cultivate fifty or seventy
five acres with far greater ease and
efficiency. Most of the work may be
done while riding ON a spring seat
and wearing an umbrella il the wealth
er is uncomfortably hot. Old time
farmers would scarcely call it work.
The land roller and the broadcast
weeder should be on every farm

deserted, some disappearing at Mazat-
