Winters Harp.

Suggested by an old Oak at Waverly,
Baltimore)
1t stands alone, none other nigh.
A grand old Oak in winters sky;
The north wiN comes, a miust
bold,
With fingers supple in the cold.
1t stands alone, mid ice and SHOWS,
A grand old harp with shining rows
or silver cords and ivory keys,
Attuned to winters minstrelsy.
No more alone; each shining cord
Shouts with glad anthem to the Lord
At touch of the minstrels fingers
And, for aye, a blessing fingers.
No more alone, sweet music thrills
Each singing cord and rapture fills
The great frame of the grand old
harp
Like breath of morn the soaring lark.
We are not alone The great stress
or adverse winds come but to bless
To sweep the cords in hearts of oak
And sweetest, nobIest strains evoke.
None are alone; in the darkest hour
There comes a strange, mysterious
power
Sweet music midst life's storm and
strife
To lift man to the better life.

CROPS AND STOCK
FIRST REPORT OF BOARD OF
AGRICULTURE APPEARS.
GENERAL CONDITION GOOD
Recent Rains Relieve Anxiety Con.
corning Drouth-Winter Grasses in
Better man Usual Condition but
Condition of Glover Rather Poor
Some Sickness Among Stock.

The first of a system of crop reports
to be issued by the state board of agr
culture appeared yesterday 1t W..
hereafter be issued the first Of eain
month, during the season of ggoWMl
harvesting, and marketing of far.a
crops. Secretary John NJ True ha,
been exceedingly fortunate in securil-
the assistance of a practical and ell
ctent corps OF correspondents, and il
the future issues hopes to represent
every county in the state They rem
der this service without compensation
and are certainly entitled to the CRATE
full consideration of all persons inter
ested in the agricultural prosperity OF
the state, says Mr.. True.
The information sought in the lettor
of inquiry, upon which this report is
based, was:
Frst-The acreage of our principa,
farm crops, compared with that ol
last year.
5econd-The condition of those crops
subject to injury from winter killing.
and umfayorable spring weather.
Third-rhe conditions of soil rela-
tive to planting and the germinat.Cl Of
seeds.
Fourth-The condition, healthfulness
and prices of farm stock.
Reports were received from sixty Of
the seveaty counties of the state, and
the following estimated percentage OF
acreage Of crops Of 1901 with that Of
1900 is given; Winter wheat 9S, winter
rye 99R, spring wheat IS, oats l02,
barley 9912, corn 1O312, potatoes 100,
tobacco 1071a, pasture lO112, meadow
l0212.
Ian most parts of the state the condi-
tons of soil and weather were favor
able for the sowing of small grains,
and the degree of dryness developed
after was not sufficient to interfere to
any great extent with their germina-
ton. Reports of interference by drouth
with the proper growth of spring
grains were frequent and becoming
serious up to within a few days, but
recent general rains have relieved
anxiety at this point and ondltions
now seem favorable to rapid growth.
While winter grain and grasses are
reported as being in better than usual
six of the southern middle
counties report the condition of clover
as poor. and twenty-five other counties
report but fair, the remaining thirty
two counties as good and very good.
1t is hoped that recent and coming
rains may render the next report
more favorable.
There was, this spring. a very gen.
eral shortage of hay and other coarse
folders. among farmers, and as a re-
suit much of the live stock is in thin
condition and the natural tendency to
turn these animals early upon pasture
is detrimental alike to stock and
pasture.
Inquiries as to the degree OF health
fulness OF farm animals develops the
fact that there is a sprinkling of bo-
vine tuberculosis in many counties as
we'll as occasional cases of glanders
among horses. Very little hog cholera
is reported. Prices of farm animals
are very satisfactory II owners. The

SOMETHING BETTER THAN THE OLD SAW.

SOMETHING BETTER THAN THE OLD SAW.
The saying about the lion and the
lamb in March often proves false, but
there is another and a better one
which is literally true. When March
comes in and finds you taking Hoods
Sarsaparilla to purify, enrich and Vi
talize your blood, you may expect,
when it goes out, that it will leave
you free from that tired feeling and
with none of the boils, pimples and
eruptions which manifest themselves
because of impure blood in the spring.
If you have not already begun taking
Hoods Sarsaparilla for your spring
medicine, we advise you to begin to-
day. We assure you it will make you
feel better all through the coming
summer.

The people not only want to be cured
but cured quickly Benson's Plaster
does it. Coughs, colds, lumbago, asthma,

and other ills approachable by an external
remedy, yield to Benson's as ice does to heat.
Neither Belladonna, Strengthening or

the merits of Benson's Plaster 1--we no use
