STATE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.

ter of vast moment. 1t provides for the
creation of State department OF agricul-
ture under the control and management of
a secretary. whose duties are broad, com.
prehensive and yet special in their scope and
peculiarities,
II is not necessary to dwell upon the i'm
portance of the agricultural and live stock
interests Of the State, nor the necessity for
every move possible, every step feasible
and practicable to be taken to further these
interests.
With her immense area OF territory en-
bracing varieties OF soils adapted to almost
every known agricultural and horticultural
product and to every branch OF live stock
enterprises, it is meet that some such move
ment as this bill contemplatea should be
inaugurated by the State,
The general government has set the prece

sided over by a secretary who is a cabinet
officer. That this Federal bureau is of in
caloulabe benefit TO the agricultural and
live stock interests OF the entire country

ments It is constantly providing new crops
for man and beast and paying rotations o
field growths. and through it's animal bureau
it holds up the hands and helps the stool
raiser to find new markets for the output o
his pastures.
There is urgent need for the State to sur

POEMS YOU SHOULD KNOW.
MS the as Rose Of summer.

TITS the Last Rose Of Summer.
(Br THOMAS MOORE.
Ills the last rose OF summer,
Left blooming alone
All her lovely eompaniors
Are faded and gone
No flower OF her kindred,
No rosebud is nigh,
To reflect back her bushes,
To give sigh for sigh.
III not leave thee thou lone one,
To pine on the STEM
Since the lovely are sleeping.
Go, sleep thou with them.
Thus kindly l scatter
Thy leaves DER the bed,
Where thy mates 81 the garden
Lie seentless and dead,
So soon may I follow.
When friendships decay.
And from loves shining cirels
The gems drop away
When true hearts lie withersd
And fond ones are flown,
oh who would inhabit
This bleak world alone;
