inspiration" with which his delicate

Inspiration with which his delicate
wife always surrounded him.
The welded life of Wordsworth with
his cousin, 'the phantom OF delight
was n poem more exquisitely beautiful
than any his pen ever wrote. Mrs.
Wordsworth was never fair TO look
upon, but she had that priceless and
rarer beauty of soul which made her
life "a center of sweetness" to all
around her "All that she has been TO
me-" the poet once said in his latter
days. "none but God and myself can
ever know" and it would be difficult
TO find a more touching and beautiful
picture in the gallery of great mems
lives than that of Wordsworth and his
wife, both bowed under the burden of
many years and almost blind, walking
hand in hand together in the garden,
with all the blissful absorption and
tender confidence of youthful lovers.
1t never needed 'the welding touch
of a great sorrow" 10 make the lives
of Archbishop TAFT and his devoted
wife "a perfect whole" Speaking of
her many years after she had been
taken from him, he said, ITO part from
her, If only for day, was pain only
less intense than the pleasures with
which / returned to her, and when
took her with me it was one Of the
purest joys given to man to watch
the meeting between her and our chill
dren.'
When David Livingstone had passed
his thirtieth birthday, with barely a
thought for such can indulgence as
wooing and wedding" he declared hui
morously that when he was n little
less busy he would send home an ad-
vertisement for a wife preferably O.
decent sort of widow" and yet so I'M
consciously near was his fate that only
year later he was introducing his
bride, Mary Moffat, to the home he had
built, largely with his own hands, at
Mabotsa. From that "supremely hap
py hour" to the day when, eighteen
years later, he received her "last faint
whisperings" at Shupanga, no man ever
had a more self sacrificing, brave, de-
voted wife than the missionary's
daughter. In fact, they were more like
two happy, light hearted children than
sedate married folk, and under the
magic of their merriment the hard
ships and dangers Of life in the heart
of the dark continent were stripped of
all their terrors.
Jean Paul Richter confessed that he
never even suspected the potentialities
of human happiness until he met Caro-
line Mayer, that sweetest and most
gifted of women" when he was fast
approaching his fortieth year, and that
he had no monopoly of the resultant
happiness is proved by his wife's dec
laration that Richter is the purest, the
| holiest, the most godlike man that lives;
-" to be the wife of such man
is the greatest glory that can fall to a
woman" while of his wife Richter
once wrote, Il thought when / married
| her that l had sounded the depths Of
human love, but l have since realized
| how ulfatIomable is the heart in
which noble woman has her shrine"

GROW RYE.
On Ohio Mans Plan For Easy and
Profitable Farming.

Am Ohio Mans Plan FOr EaBy. &Mu
Profitable Farming.
Rye is a crop that can be grown and
harvested by live stock with very lit
tie If any loss. 1t IS the only small
grain crop with which we are familiar
that can SO successfully be handled in
this way, saws an Ohio Farmer writer.
The crop can be best utilized by the
use of sheep and hogs. No man can
have very definite idea Of how much
there is in the crop till he makes 1t
a study and puts forth a strong effort
to SOW 1t everywhere he can on his
farm. On our farm of eighty-six acres,
with seasonable rains, there will be
rye growing in October on forty-five
acres. more than one-half of the farm,
that will furnish pasture for great
amount of stock and can best be saved
by pasturing hogs, breeding ewes and
lambs being fatted for market.
For twenty years the land has been
kept regularly in rotation, wheat, clo-
yer and corn, the hay and corn being
fed out on the farm and the manure,
with much hauled from town, put on
the land. Under this treatment the
land has grown gradually better. There
is a vast amount of labor connected
with this system that we are forced
by circumstances beyond our control
TO abandon as far as possible. Rye
crops without harvesting and thrash
ing will be the principal feature in
bringing this about. Farmers often
will not grow it as~we do and "hog it
down" for fear of the voluntary crop
spelling the clover crop following.
AS to this, a volunteer crop of rye
which we had in clover would have
been an advantage had we wanted TO
make hay of the crop. The rye pre-
vented the clover lodging, as 1t would
surely have done without it. Cut for
hay, the rye in it would not have been
any detriment, but an advantage if fed
out on the farm as 1t always is here.
If stacked in the field there was
enough rye in it II the stacks were
carefully raked down to shed the rain.
Using rye instead of wheat and not
harvesting it brings us up against the
fact that we are without bedding for
the stock. For time no doubt this
need can be met by purchasing straw,
as many farmers within an area of
two or three miles sell their straw to
men buying it for factory purposes.
There Is no small grain crop grown
that is better to start clover in than
rye, and this advantage is much en-
hanced VIXEN the crop is not cut, but
allowed to fall on the land and be
gathered by the stock on the farm.
For late fall, winter and spring pas
turing sheep viii be found the most
desirable animals to use, as they will
not injure the land by tramping when
wet as other animals will. Carrying
the plan through the year, the only
element barring success is lack of
moisture.
This plan will prove practicable and
profitable on thousands Of farms
where wheat has been grown for years
past and is still being grown, never
paying expenses. the land constantly
growing poorer, while the use of rye
will continually add to the fertility of
the soil and pay Il profit as it goes
along 1t will not come in lump as
when 4 grain crop is sold, but it will
be coming in all the time.
