The Hawthorn Hedges of ireland.

In q green little dell. away DER the
mountain,
Where blue-bell and primrose in ter
races rise,
And the king fishers skim by the clear
crystal fountain
Where the murmuring voice Of the
stream never dies
Oh, oft when lad, did this scene
meet my gaze
This moment / see it as if through
haze.
Once more I'm gossoon of gay, care
less ways
Mid the hawthorn hedges of Ireland.
I can hear the brown corn-cake's call
in the meadow
And the robins sweet song, as the
sun sinks to rest,
The sweet summer air, mid the twi-
lights soft shadow.
And the brown thrush's flight to his
ivy clad nest.
When the lads and the laSses would
skip Ger the hills
Forgetting the world, it's troubles
and ills,
Expressing their JOY with gay laugh
ter and thrills
Mid the hawthorn hedges of ireland.
But sure I am old and bowed down
ward with SORROW.
Ills fifty long years since 1 left the
green vale.
Soon, soon. I'll go home. ay maybe to-
morrow.
And never again see beloved Innis-
fail
But oh, my old heart yearns fondly
to be
In that green little dell just mo-
ment to see
The birds and the flowers so dear I'M
to me --.
Mid the hawthorn hedges of Ireland.

L,ncoln's Words.

1t is not very well known that in
the hall of one of the great colleges
of England there hangs frame inclos-
ing a few sentences of which Abra-
ham Lincoln is the author. They are
considered the best English that was
ever written. You or I might read
them over and call them very simple
indeed. And they are so simple that
any child who reads at all can read
and understand them. That is one
thing that makes them great. 1t was
his being simple and plain that made
Abraham Lincoln himself great.
Now here is Il little paragraph by
Lincoln. which he made rule of his
conduct. Suppose you try to write it
over and see how much You can i'm
prove it. Soc if each word is the right
one. and try to find a better word for
the place. Notice how simple this is,
all but two are words of single syl-
liable.

A Many Sided Problem.

Modern education, with all it's sue
cesses sometimes breeds condition Of
mental uncertainty. The old maxim,
"}e sure you are right, then. go
ahead" is complicated, says Tid-Bits,
by the difficulty of being quite sure
whether one is absolutely right or not.
''Jane!" called a young mother.
''Ye<-sum?"
"When the baby has finished his
bottle, lay him in the cradle on his
right side. After eating, a child should
always lie on the right side. That re-
lieves the pressure on the heart.
STILL" she added. reflectively, "the liv-
err is on the right side. Perhaps, after

side. No, I'm sure the book said,

The Drowned Fisherman,

Ills weary I go from dawn till dark
where the waves come rolling in,
I have no heart for the spinning
sure, and maybe it is sin;
For wan face drifts on a great, green
wave between the fax and me,
And the whir of the wheels falls on
my heart like the moan Of the
cruel sea.
My seven sorrows upon the ocean,
your bed is it's cold, black floor,
Och, We're you at my side 1 would
walk the world and beg from
door to door;
1 would sing in the streets of the city
and sleep on the hills above,
With never care for the worlds
wealth while we had our wealth
of love.
Dim are my eyes with weeping and
my hair like the fax is gray;
Had you listened to my hearts plead
ing, 'twood not be so this day.
watch for your boat in the gray of
dawn, and ut night when the
winds howl by,
hear through the roaring of winds
and wave your cry, your cry.

Her Household Staff.

Or what the work to do,
My household staff with one accord
All straightway so out too.
My housemaid and my laundress,
My waitress and my cook
All leave the house whene'er 1 do,
With ne'er backward look.
They never stay at home and work
Unless I, too, stay i'm

And lack of discipline.

some Potato Experiments.

Potato growers will be largely inter-
ested in the following summary Of re-
suits brought out by some recent ex-
periments of the Texas station:
Potatoes planted three inches deep
matured earlier and produced a larger
crop than those planted four and one
half and six inches deep. Level culture
proved more profitable than bedding
and milling up" the rows. The gray
sandy-clay soil, with gray subsoil, at
Trouble station responded more profit
ably to application Of acid phosphate
than to any other single fertilizer. In
a complete fertilizer, potash over six
per cent. was Improbable, while I'M
usually large percentages (eight pei
cent. and 10 per cent? OF phosphoric
acid greatly increased the yield. Cot
ton-seed meal applied only a few days
before planting was too slowly avail
able to prove a desirable fertilizer fos

Peterson, Justice Of the Peace for Oconto
Co., has delivered a judgment that IS OF IN.
terest to the whole United States; Put
briefly, that judgment is, "Dodd,s k1dney
Pills are the best Kidney medicine on tne
market to-day"
And Mr.. Peterson gives his reason for
this judgment. He says: Last. winter l
had an aching pain in my back which
troubled me very much. In the morning
l could hardly straighten my back: ! dld
led me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. After
taking one box I can only say they have dom;
more for me than expected as / feel as well
now as eversI did before" &
Pain in the back is one Of the first symp-
toms of Kidney disease. If not cured by
Dodd's Kidney Pills It may develop INTO

some Of the other deadly forms OF Kidney
Disease.

IMPROVING THE SOIL.
The Value Of Legunltnous Crops In
Restoring Fertility to
WORKOUT Soils.

In one of the year books of the de-
partment OF agriculture, Washington,
considerable space is given to a dis
cussion of leguminous crops. 1t ia
pointed out that modern agricultural
chemists have discovered that legumi-
nous crops are not only consumers OF
available plant foods, but they actually
manufacture the most valuable and
most essential heterogeneous compounds,
using the free gaseous nitrogen of the
air. This transformation of an inert
gas takes place through the agency of
minute, almost infinitesimal bacteria,
living within the tissues of the roots Of
plants of this order, producing knot
like swellings or gals upon them.
Each variety of legume has it's own Pc
culiar bacterium, On whose presence it
is dependent, and unless its particular
species of bacterium comes in contact
with and infests the roots, the plant
cannot get more nitrogen than could
be secured by the roots of a grass or
tobacco plant. It can then only take
up such nitrogen as is already present
in the soil in available or soluble form.
If these bacteria are entirely absent
from the soil, the clover or bean will
not fully develop unless an abundance
of soluble nitrates are present.
The wonderful dependence of plants
of the clover family upon the minute
bacteria which live within the root It's
sues offers an explanation of the fail
ure of such crops when tried upon soils
not previously devoted to their cult
walton. 1t has been found by expert
ment in this country and abroad that
such new leguminous crops may be
| successfully cultivated by inoculating
| the land either with artificial prepare
tons or cultures containing these
| germs, or with soil from a field where
this crop has been previously grown.
Good results are also sometimes Sc
cured by treating the seed preliminary
to sowing. By such an incubation the
| yield of total dry matter has been in
creased sometimes from tenfold to
thirtyfold. Moreover, it is found that
there are no gall tubercles formed on
the roots of leguminous crops when
these nitrogen-bacteria are not present
in a soil, and hence there can be no
utilization of gaseous atmospheric nj
trogen by them.
Nitrogen is the most important plant
food. It is the most expensive fertili'
zer when purchased in artificial ma
nures. 1t is also the most necessary
| element of animal foods; for when it
is entirely absent, OF present in sufi-
cient quantities, there can be neither
growth nor the complete repair OF
WORKOUT tissue. Hence, it can readily
be understood why the abundant cul,
tivation of leguminous crops is SO nee
essary. The legumes are the only
crops which will, when plowed under
increase the total Of fertilizing mate.

HERE AND THERE.

You may set it down as a rule, that
poor weak plants produce poor weak
seeds; while good strong plants pro-
duce good strong seeds.

"A very light sprinkle is sufficient
to drive the boys out of the field and

half a million dollars.
Shade is as essential to the COM
fort of live stock in the summer season
as food. It is just as good economy to
spend a few dollars for shade as to pro-

-Lettuce-seed is not difficult to

when ripe. He a thus make sure

MEDICAL MENTION.

It has been noticed by the Congo e1-

School of Tropical Medicine to study
sleeping sickness, that in a large per-
centage of cases actual sleep is not a
marked feature Of the disease.
Sir William Turner, who was long an
expert adviser to Darwin on anatomical
points, is still wonderfully active at his
more than 70 years. He presided re-
Gently over the annual meeting OF the

The most characteristic i'll of advanced
age is hardening the arteries. 1t has
been asserted by DR.. Trunecek, a Euro

deficiency of salt in the blood and he
treats 1t by injection OF a saline solution.

The royal commission (British) APP
pointed in August, 1901, to inquire into
the relation between human and animal
