In the school house by the roadside,
How many days I've spent.
While in and out and up and down,
The children came and went.
The music Of the COW bells tlnkllng,
Comes in at the open door.
Year after year, the same old play.
Far back In days Of yore.
A school house, not the same stood here,
The child to manhood grown,
Has left his school days far behind,
The seed someone has sown.
Is bearing fruit in other ollmes,
All good, shall we believer
So that when angel music chimes,
Those teachers shall receive.
A sure reward for work long done.
A thankless task perchance.
Toiliug through the cloud and sun,
With many backward glance.
For DER these swan,ps and wooded hills,
O'erspread with trackless snow,
The bean and wildcat at their mills
Roamed forty years ago.
In spring upon the fresh plowed ground
Their trucks were daily seen.
The panthers yell, a midnight sound,
And Bruins bed Of green.
Not twenty yards from cottage door
All rhis and more know,
OF what the Dark Swamp was Of yore,
Some forty years ago.

Worth Knowing

Save yonr land while it is fresh
and worth saving.
Plow on a level even in new
ground.
There never comes rain enough to
carry of all the face of the earth at
once.
Prevent water from gathering and
you prevent washing.
High and broad lines are not
desirable. They should be simply
guide rows.
Rain water is the cheapest Guano
in the market. Save your rain.
water
Deep blowing holds the water till
the roots Of plants come after it.
Instead Of throwing up high levees
throw out deep burrows and place
your surplus rocks in them.
Two things at once may thus be
done-get rid of the rocks and save
the land.
It is cheaper to remove rocks and
stumps than to work around and
among them.
Rocks and stumps do not grow.
Then why continue to plow and hoe.
Machine work is cheaper and
often better than handwork.
Paint is cheaper than lumber and
carpenters.
Deep blowing and high manurIng,
these should be our watchword.
Tar and grease as a preventive Of
Cholera is highly recommended by
good farmer who has tested it with
eminent success for years. Use it
literally on the hogs and on the
feed troughs and in the beds where
they sleep.
Curculio in Plums may be largely
prevented by using the stocks Of
wild goose plums to graft other
varieties on.-southern Cultivator.

According to the terms OF Hey

our Secretary Of State and the
Panama minister, the United States
is granted absolute sovereignty over

either by railroad or canal.
A few hours after the treaty was
signed the Panama commissioners
arrived in Washington, They ex-
pressed satisfaction with the terms
Of the document and one Of them
will take it to Panama for ratifica-
ton. It IS expected that the treaty
will be approved by the now repub-
lie about December 10. 1t will then
be sent to the Senate for ratification
The republicans need two democratic
votes TO get a two.thirds majority
required for the approval of the
treaty, but as nearly the whole
country, including some of the larg-
est democratic papers are supporting
the administration, and the South
especially is anxious for a canal,
many Of the democratic senators
will vote for the treaty, thus insur-
ing its ratification. Senator Bacon
explained the position Of the minor
ity senators, by saying that while
they condemned the action of the
president in his hasty recognition of
the new republic, they would not
allow themselves to be placed on
record as in opposition 60 the canal.
In ether words, they wonld like to
attack the Administration, but they

While there is Leisure it may be
Profitable to Spend Some Time
in Trimming Trees

~ @AANA"AAH "ANra
A standard rulo in pruning trees
is to ''Trim when the leaves are of
to promote growth Of wood, and
trim when in leaf to check woody
growth. Pruning may be done as
we'll this month as at any time later
in the winter, and it will be much
better for the trees. Those that
are trimmed now will carry less ice
and snow in winter and will be less
tossed by wintry winds and conse-
quently less broken. The effects Of
winds, ice, sleet aud snow is often
very disastrous on fruit trees, as it
was during the past season. Not
only is their yield reduced, but
diseases and some kinds of insects
enter later where the branches were
split and the bark broken. The
trees are weakened so they become
proper subjects for the work of that
ineradicable fruit pest, the shot hole
borer or bark beetle. Trim now and
preserve the vitality Of the trees,
avoid loss by winter ice and winds,
avoid the formation of places for
insects and fungi to enter. and in
sure the better prospects for a good
crop next year. This is the kind Of
advice that "is cheaper" but try il
on at least a portion Of the orchard
for a a few years and note the diff
ference in results from those trees
trimmed in the fall and those
trimmed in the spring.
