As:.clo!o, 1,,ss2 and bachelor maid
Sat slipping cup OF tea.
Said the bachelor man, elizabeth, dear,
. l1tscertoinly seems to me,
That never cup Of fnectar rare
Or wine from the vaults Of kings
Wasiequal to this fairy cup you brew
White the bright little kettle sings.
ut rests me we'll, and 1t soothes my soul,
Aid II comforts me through and through,
Tis d, magical cup; and Pm fair spells
bound
As sit and sip it with you. -
Shall we sip 1t together thro' all the years
The future is bringing our way?
WeScould meet right bravely It's hopes and
~ fears
So pray do not answer nay"

BACHELOR TEA.

The bachelor maid, with sigh cohteHt;
Stirred the nectar about In her cup.
And thoughtfully paused to ponder bit
Before looking merrily up,
And saying, "Why, whore will you go, my
dear,
For nice little haven OF rest?
For II We are married, don't you see
You never can be my guest3"
so thsse bachelofs twain sat qiietly do#h,
80 And talked the matter DER.
While thS kettle sang; and tie fragrant herb
lis part In the touncil bore!
And the story ends, as stories should,
In wedding bells and laughter:
OF course they married you knew they
s. would
And lived happy ever after.

visited by an English naturalist VINO
reports them a paradise and accounts
for their existence. Floating tangles
of peat moss, rushes and grass are
caught by stakes driven into the sou
lake bottom, and upon this mass rlch
mud from the bottom is thrown. Inc
surface is then transformed into a

The United States census for l9oo
finds 1886 persons in the United states
who are 100 or more years OF age. The
value of these figures may be ques-
toned and perhaps may be best estl-
mated nv the fact that 1913 percent OF
the whole number are negroes many

to the date of their birth. They are pu

bod:

nish 4 good succession OF grazing
crops from early spring until late au-
tumn. Then by breaking up the areas
and seeding them to rye, barley and
oats, in the order named, succession
Of cereal crops will be added for use
The next fall, winter and spring. The
seeds Of these crops can all be pur-
chased at moderate price and large
quantities need not be sown, especially
If put in with the grain drill. BY ro-
tating the crops as suggested, the land
Is Kept covered. soil washing is pre-
vented, and by the grazing of animals
throughout the year the soil Is enriched
through the droppings and the roots
of the crops plowed down. 1t is sur
prisins what large number Of ami
mails can be carried per acre through
this system Of grazing and these ami
mails will be quite rs well and make
as good. If not larger gains than will
be obtained from the average lands
laid down to mixture Of tame
grasses.
This system OF rotating for the i'm
provement of poor soils through the e1-
elusive use of grazing crops has proven
very satisfactory at the university
farm, where 4 piece Of land is being
improved through the system outlined.
though it was so poor in the beginning
that it absolutely would not grow corn
or sorghum. The first year some farm
yard manure was put on the land.
Since then nothirg but a little phos-
phate and potash have been applied,
these being elements in which the land
was found to be deficient. In the
course of a few years through the ex-
elusive grazing Of animals this land
will be brought into condition to grow
successful crops Of almost every de-
scription, the gullies will be covered
and effaced and the land can then be
laid down to n permanent mixture OF
grass II desirable. 1t would have been
n waste Of money ard effort to try ana
farm this land by means OF hillside
ditching. terracing. etc. 1t would nave
been folly to attempt to establish q
sod of grass on it in its original condl-
ton. Through the medium OF the sys'
tenn suggested it is gradually becom-
ing n profitable and valuable piece or
land and is supporting q fair number
of animals each year. This plan can
be duplicated with success on many,
many farms and if judiciously utilized
will solve a problem that is fraught
with difficulties and which has proven
q stumbling block to many.-Professor

To Check Boil Weevll.

81 have been asked by many farmers
and others engaged in the cotton trade
how in my judgment was the best way
to check theravages Of the boil weevil," }"
SAYS A. J. Buston, the great cotton ex-
pert. MY answer in each case has
been the same, that after many years
Of studying the cotton weed l am con-
vinced that:
"First-The planters should go BACK
TO the old fashioned way and burn the
old cotton stalks, also burn the weeds
which surround the field and are from
FIVE to seven feet high, which must
harbor insects, particularly the boil
weeyil. which is an insect which loves
the shade and does not like the hot
sun.
"secondly-Plant their cotton much
further apart and p, ow deeper than OF
recent wears and run their plows be-
tween the drills so rs to keep the SOIL
turned. Where this has been done TINS
season the plants are more matrlreo'
showing from fifty to sixty full grown
bolls on them and proving the advisa-
bility of allowing the plant room SO
it can get the air and sun.
"Thirdly-Plant early. and Where tne
seed IS TO be sown on the sandy land'
If should be obtained from the black
lands and vice versa. The seed known
as King seed is a very early variety
and NAV be beneflcially used i'll many
directions"

Tall Corn Problem.

There is no way to prevent corn
growing tall on good land in the South.
Even If you get a dwarf Northern va
shoot up until as tall as our Southern
varieties. Our long growing season
causes this. You can save the corn
and make ensilage Of the stalks ana
fodder if you will pull the corn as soon
as it is glazed and dented. and then
cut the stalks and run them through q
cutter, or better, a shredder mo the
silo and wet them we'll with water as
they are packed in the silo. Whlle
not so good rs silage made from corn
grown especially for the silo and cut

CONSTIPATION CURED.
A Barrytown, NY, Mans Expert
ence with Cal-cura Solvent.
Dr., David Ksnnsdy's Wonderful New Medicine
Cured Him Promptly. Your Money Back
u II Does Not Cure.

Constipation leads to worse Often it is
the cause of appendicitis. Always it leads
to dangerous chronic disease. 1t should
not be neglected, nor should it be tempor-
arily relieved with drastic purgatiyes. Here
is a case in point:
Mr.. @. S. Osterhoudt, of Barrytown, N.
Y, was distressed with Indigestion, chronic
constipation and kidney trouble for four
years. He tried many medicines without
relief. He heard of Cal-cura Solvent, DR..
Kennedy's nelo medicine, used it and began
TO improve rapidly. All of his old com
plants have disappeared and he owes
everything to Col-cura Solvent.
If your druggist does not have Cal-cura
Solvent, write TO the Calcura Company,
Rondout, NY; but ask your druggist first.
$l.00 bottle. Only one size.
Guarantee: Your druggist will return
your money If Cal-cura fails to cure, and
The Cal-cura Company will pay the drug
gist. Remember, Cal-cura Solvent cures
$50 Of all cases of Kidney, Bladder and
Liver disorders.
