Emperor Honor. a Dragon Fly.


The oldest extant poem about drag
on fly is said to have been composed
l, 440 years ago by the Emperor Yulia-
ku of Japan. One day, while this EN-.
peror was hunting, say, the ancient rec
ords, gadfly came and bit his arm.
Herewith dragon fly pounced upon
the gadfiy and devoured it. Then the
emperor commanded his ministers to
make an ode in praise of the dragon
fly. But as they hesitated how to begin
he himself composed a poem in praise
Of the insect, ending with the words:
Even a creeping insect
Waits upon the great Lord;
Thy form it will bear
o Yamato, land of the dragon fly!
And in honor of the dragon fly the
place of the incident was called Akit-

FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

In planting the orchard care should
be taken to allow each tree plenty Of
room.
A layer of charcoal in the bottom of a
flower bed is very beneficial in keep
ing the soil fresh.
In blowing in the orchard always
turn the furrow toward the tree, and
be careful not to injure the fine, fibrOus
roots.
The life Of an apple tree is often
shortened because it grows in a poor,
exhausted soil or one not properly
drained.
When i'll or ailing, handle the flowers
little or wear gloves. Delicate plants
are sensitive to human magnetism,
good or bad.
The roots of the strawberry often
reach out five feet from the main
stem; hence the plants should not be
set too thickly.
An apple or cherry tree is much
more valuable if it shoots out low.
Trim from the top, as this will cause
the lower branches to grow out.
Land that has been too rough for
blowing may yet be sufficiently fertile
to grow fruit trees and is better than
land that has been exhausted by crop
ping.
