My prayers l say and lay rue down;
The lights of Starland gieam afar,
My trundle bed is Sleepy Town,
My window is the harbor bar.
Beyond the curtained patch of blue
There lies a fair and wondrous sea;
My dream ship feels the flowing tide,
l hear my sailors calling me.
A shallop skins across the blue,
And Jackies touch their hats, polite,
Come, get aboard, dear captain, do,
The bells are sounding candle light"
The lullaby my mother croons
Grows fainter and still fainter grows
The bos'n pipes his merry tunes
And dances on his timber toes.
Heigh-hol a merry crew, ween
For some are wood. and some ART
dough,
And some before in books I've seen,
And some are dolls l used to know.
Now. where away, oh, captain, where?
I'd sail me swift, I'd sail me far,
The evening winds are blowing fair,
Wen head her for the Morning Star
Toledo Times.

ed up in field of the AlIard farm near
Berlin by Anton Disterhoff is Il genuine
"lepton" or widows mite" of Bible

of an inch in diameter, with a design rep
resenting two cornucopias and a poppy
on one side and an inscription on the
other, Jonathan, the high priest and the

when found, was inclosed in a small
metal box and is supposed to have been
lost by one of the French missionaries
who visited Wisconsin in the early half
Of the seventeenth century. 1t was

Make Your own Fertilizers.

There is much talk about farmers
making their own fertilizers, and it is
believed in some quarters that this adj
vice is given by certain college pro
fessors and political grangers for the
purpose of currying favor with the
farmers.
A Southern truclgman, who buys
about $1,000 worth of commercial fer
tilizer every year, says it does not pay.
He is an enterprising man as well,
and has made numerous experiments to
ascertain whether it IS profitable or
not to mix his own fertilizer. He de
clares that no farmer can buy the raw
material and mix bis fertilizer as
cheapIy as he can buy it from reput-
able dealers. Under the stringent laws
of most States any farmer can get
eX actly what he pays for in the way
of fertilizer. and if he is swinded il
is his own fault But it is not fair
to say that all fertilizer manufacturers
are swindlers. There is no doubt, how
ever, that several years ago a great
tilizer manufacturers, but the newt
able result that always follows thiev-
cry of any kim has driven these crook
ed manufacturers out or business, and
the honest men have continued to do
business and furnish honest goods at
reasonable prices.
The newspapers have helped to
drive the fertilizer rascals out of bust
ness. and they have steadily support
ed the honest manufacturers. If the
farmer will take one or two good
papers and rely upon them to give
truthful information in regard to his
business and the man who furnishes
him with farm supplies of all kinds,
lie will seldom run the risk of being
s9indled by purchasing from the man
ufacturers who advertise in their
pages.

Tobacco a Rapid, Liberal Feeder


1t has been found that smoking to-
bacco, owing to the closer planting.
removes nearly twice the quantity Of
plant food removed by tobacco grown
for snuff, but that per ton of dry
leaves the quantities of nitrogen and
phosphoric acid were about the same,
while the quantity of potash was
greater in the snuff tobacco. While
the tobacco plant as a whole uses
considerable plant food, the crop is
not considered very exhaustive, be-
cause the amount removed in the
leaves is comparatively limited. One
of the most striking characteristics Of
the tobacco plant is its very rapid
growth, which makes a liberal sup
ply of readily available plant food nee
essary for its proper development.
