AFTER THE SINGER is DEAD

BY Robert louis Stevenson.
Bright is the ring of words
When the right man rings them,
Fair is the fall of songs
When the singer sings them.
Still they are carolled and said
On wings they are carried
After the singer is dead
And the maker buried.
Low as the singer lies
In the field of heather,
Songs of his fashion bring
The SWANS together.
And when the West Is red
With the sunset embers
The lover fingers and sings,
And the maid remembers.

home cure for catarrh, scratchy throat,
asthma, stopped-up feeling i'll the nose

slant splitting, catarrhal deafness, etc,
etc, and that the remedy that does it is
the invention of DR.. j. w. BlOsser, the
eminent southern doctor and minister

forms.

discovery and know that you need such
II cure, and want to make a trial of 1t

The Farm.
WORCESTERSHIRE FARMING.

The layman can hardly realize the
lack of system that prevails on the
average farm. Drainage is little thought
only as chance determines, and prob
ably not one farmer in a hundred can
tell what enterprise on his farm and
under his conditions is the most profit
able. In no other business is it likely
that men can be found with $4,000,
100000 or $4,000 investments who new
er pretend to keep books of the bust
ness. Farmers books are too often
kept i'm this manner,-gain, money in
the bank; loss, money borrowed. The
writer once argued this question of
keeping books with a we'll to do Amer
lean farmer, who finally concluded his
argument by saying, Farming amt all
keeping books, by long shot" Truth
lies in the argument, but keeping books
is not all there is to manufacturing fur
niture or transporting freight, and yet
it must be a valuable accessory or it
would have been discarded years ago.
There are sti1l thousands of farmers
in the middle West who do not follow
the markets, who rarely, if ever, stop
to consider the relation between prices
of feeds and prices of beef and pork.
Hogs are fed because there is money
in hogs" and many an operation on the
farm is done according to some precon-
ceived notion. The writer knows a
German farmer in western Minnesota
who has a beautiful, clean farm, and is
evidently prosperous. While watching
him feed his hogs one day, this CONVEX
sation took place: "How old are those
pigs? ' Sixteen months" "Why don't
you sell them? well, 1 don't like to
sell hog until he weighs up good and
heavy" Further conversation reveal
ed the facts that corn was worth forty
two cents per bushel and pork four
dollars per hundred weight live
weight. When asked if the pigs he
was feeding were gaining enough to
equal or exceed the value of the corn.
and pay him for his labor, he realized
that each bushel of corn had got to
produce about twelve pounds of pork
to yield him any profit. Knowing that
his pigs were not gaining the half OF
that amount, he decided to sell both
pigs and corn.-From Farming as 2

There are frequent other instances of the recognition of religious princi- ples in the designs O. postage stamps.

 the curious looking stamps of Afghan
 istan are some showing the door, of. . mosque with crossed cannon beneath. Pathological gods and goddesses are largely in ev'1ance on Greciau stamps and appear occasionally ns. those of other lands. but are gene ally employ ed for their artistic value. or as .n
 the case of Mercury, for the asRocia- ! tion with the postal service of the idea they symbolize. Brazil has a stamp
 showing the starry constellation known as 'the southern cross.''

There are few classes of stamps that are really worth ] while gathering that can be gotten to- f gether as readily and cheaply as these | for which very good reason this inc teresting collection is as popular with i the economical amateur as it is absorb | ing to the veteran philatelist.
