THE SONG AND THE DEED.

There was never a song that sung by thee.
But a sHeeter one meant to be.
There was never a deed that was grandly done.
But a greater meant by some earnest one
For the sweetest voice can never lmpaft
The song that trembles within the heart.
And the brain and hand can never quite do
The thing that the soul has fondly in view. .
And hence are the tears and the burden Of pain
For the shining goals never to gain.
And the real song is ne'er heard by man.
Nor the work ever done for which we plan.
But enough that God can near and see
The song and the deed that were meant to be!

Upon the Threshold.


II we believe that life is worth liv-
ing, our belief helps to create that
fact, for faith is in matters of the
spirit all that courage is in practical
affairs. To Jane and Cluny this be-
lief was not difficult, for limitation
always works for happiness, and dur
Ing the ensuing year life kept within
the bounds of their mutual probation
and of Cluny's military duties, was
full of happy meetings and partings;
days in which Love waited on Duty,
and again, days in which Love was
lord of every hour; when they wander
ed together in the Park like two
happy children, or, if the weather
was unfit, sat dreaming in the stately
rooms of Sandys about the little gray
house in Fifeshire, which was to be
their own sweet home.
So the weeks and months went by,
and though they were not alike, they
had that happy simllitude which

in diameter, sloped for about one
third its length to a blunt point, is
the best intrument to use In trans
planting. A hole is made with it In
the hill, into which the roots of the
plant are thrust and the dirt pressed
with the peg on one side, while the
thumb supports the plant on the 9th
er. The use of a 'hand plant" will
facilitate the work greatly.
Incabout ten days the plants will
be established, and the cultivation
should begin by running the bar of
the pillow next to the tobacco plants.
After this the top of the small ridge
left should be -scraped with the hoe.
Two or three plowings should be
subsequently given. Some farmers
use a double shovel, others the turn
ing pillow in the last cultivation. This
work must all be performed within
six weeks after transplanting to the
neld. Alter that time the crop Will
be so far advanced it cannot be
plowed or hoed without damaging the
expanding leaves.
The main object to be obtained in
cultivation is to keep the land in good
filth, free from weeds and grass, and
to give the stalk such support that
it will not fall down during the pc
Rod of wet weather and high winds.
The land should never be worked
when it is wet. The same cultivation
given to cabbage, potatoes or corn
will suffice for tobacco.-Col. J, B.
Killebrew.

TO DEVELOP LAND HERE.
OHIO Capitalists Have Option on 25o,-
600 Acres in This State.

Charlotte, N. c., May "a
Springfield, Ohio, special to the OBJ
server says
The Southern Land and Improve
ment Company has been organized
here. The company is composed of
GEOGRAPHICALLY Cleveland people
and is formed for the purpose of
developing and colonizing large
tracts of Southern land. The largest
interest is centered in North Caro-
lima, where the company has an OPP
ton on a tract of 100000 acres of
valuable timber land. The area in
cludes almost the entire counties of
Jones and Onslow. The tract, which
will be purchased by the company is
situated only two miles from the At
lantic Coast, and is traversed from
north to south by the Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad. The tract extends
forty miles back into the State and
is covered by great quantity of valua-
BILE timber. This growth includes
one billion feet of pine and gum
which it is estimated will take ten
years to cut. The corporation is
chartered in New Jersey and has a
capital of 100000 and a bond issue
of 100000. The officers of the COM
pany are George H. Burrows, presi-
dent; W. E. Trego and P. J. Joyce,
vice-presidents; Fred E. Pile, c
tary; J. B. Hunt treasurer, and G.
L. Cats, counsel. The projectors of
the enterprise will clear the timber
from the land and then sell it to col
onists. They propose to establish a
model farm in the midst of the tract.

0uAA"00' Cnen the sun will
vaporize it.. 1t is true that the sun
and wind will cause a little drying
out, but as a-rule there is not much
drying out excepting within an inch
of the surface.
Now if we al keep the water
from climbing to that top inch we
-can-saVe most of it in the soil, and
we can do this pretty well by keeping
the surface layer crumbled. I do
not say pulverized, because that is
not the right word. I suppose the
best possible protection you can have
for your land is a thoroughly dry
surface layer. Some of you may be
inclined to question this statement 4:
it is true, however, that the more dry
the surface layer is the more difficult
it is for the water to climb over it.
Perhaps you have noticed that in dry
weather, if you try to mix dust with
water it will not take hold of it. This
is because the dust is thoroughly dry.
If you mix some thoroughly dry pow
der into water you will find it more
difficult to mix. If any of you have
ever tried to stir helebore powder
into a pail of water you will have
noticed how hard it is to make them
mix. This is because the powder is
perfectly dry, and every particle of
powder has air in contact with it all
around, and before the water can get
into it the water must displace that
surface air; so if we have a surface
layer of dry ground above the soil,
that is the best possible protection
for the underneath soil.
"a very slight rainfall on the sur
face of the ground tends to make the
loss of water more rapid than before,
as it tends to moisten this surface
layer, and then the water can get out
more easily than before. SO that I
think the ideal condition for the land
in dry weather is to have it well
plowed intbe beginning-thoroughly
crumbled, and then the particles
brought close together again, which
does not mean that it should be left
with large burrows, with large empty
spaces between, but first well stirred
and we'll turned over, and then the
particles brought together again,
either by cultivation or rolling, or by
passing of some heavy tool over it.
Then after that we want to keep the
surface layer finely crumbled to a
depth of two or three inches, which
must be done after every rama suf-
fcient time after every rain; that is,
we should wait until the ground be-
comes dry enough to. cultivate with
out sticking. And those. are the best
methods, 1 believe, of treating our
soil in the west"

Prof. Massey on Silk Growing.
of The Progressive Farmer:

[ would like to say to Professor
Mccarthy that I have not the slight
est antagonism to the silk industry,
but have not the slightest faith in it's
success under American conditions.
If the making of silk was a business
capable of being undertaken on a
large scale in a commercial way,
Americans would soon find a way to
cheaper its production. But silk
worm breeding and care seem to be
only adapted to household manage
ment, l understand. I also under
stand that the worms are liable to d.
and that this may carry away
the whole work of the season and in
feet the premises, and that it is not
always smooth sailing any more than
in many other lines of human effort.
So far as the farmers wives are con
cerned, they already have more work
than they should have. And as to
burdening them with the care of
poultry, who ever heard of a farm
er's wife-whO would be without her
poultry? Chickens and eggs are the
things that American farmers wives
never fail to have, and to them the
silk worms would be to look after
just at the same time the hens are
setting or the i]ncubators running,
and the chances are that the silk
worms would have to take care of
themselves at that season unless the
children undertook them. I hope
there will be hundreds of the 14-year-
U1dboys and girls who will succeed
at silk culture. When they do I will
have more faith in the business. l
wish Professor Mccarthy abundant
success, and hope to see some evil
dences of it ere long. For the aged
and infirm, silk making may offer an
opportunity to make a little cash, but
the ~14-year-old boys and girls should
be in school rather than engaged in
raising silk or working at any other
business. I have not any too great
faith in the poultry industry, but
when the aggregate from the silk
worms amounts to anything near
what the aggregate poultry industry
does, it will be a great thing for
American silk, and I hope that Pro
fessor Mccarthy will not be disap-
pointed in his hopes for success. But
I was old enough to hear the echoes
of the former silk worm fever, and it
has given me a distruct in regard to
American silk breeding. In the
meantime [ am waiting to learn of
some tangible results from the silk
worms in North Carolina and hope
we may soon see some, and that my
lack of faith may prove to be r.
neous. w. +. MASSEY.
