The Old Cherry Tree.

The Old Cherry lree'
There may be more beautiful trees
than the old cherry tree which grew
inst TO the left of our window III the
old fashioned house where we were
born. Many years ago the worms

The old trunk had hump on it, as
though the winter winds had pushed
against it too long and too hard, as our
gray haired grandfather had rounded
shoulders from bearing the burdens OF
his threescore years and ten. The cher
rios on that tree were not as luscious
as they might have been. Father otten
said the tree had 0utlived Its uselul-
ness. but he hated to cut it down. But,
though that tree was not as tall ana
straight as 1t might have been, it was
the dearest tree on all the farm 10 the
two red breasted robins who came
there year after year to build their
nest. Though the storm would De

bingers of spring than we would cry

were always awaiting them, and as
they would fly up to the tree they
would seem to say: "This is the best

There may be handsomer homes in

you first took your bride. You had

Prevention of Roofing.
From Farm, Stock and Home.


The question is sometimes raised as to
the advisability of ringing hogs to prevent
roofing. Many devices have been invented
to overcome this instinct, but whether in
all instances one of them should be applied
is doubtful.
On the annual pastures hogs do no harm
by roofing, but they undoubtedly do on the
permanent Ones When in the corn field
it is probably desirable that they root, as
they seem to find things in the soil that
are beneficial and they do no injury, but
rather good, to the field. On the whole,
where hogs are permitted to root, as ma
ture intended they should, they seem to
thrive better, and in all instances where no
permanent harm is done to the pasture it
is best not to ring them.
Small pigs never peroeptibly damage
field and those that are to be sold in the fall
should be allowed to root. Sows' and
boars and such pigs as are to be retained
upon the farm should be attended to In
case they show an unusual propensity fsF
roofing.
The kind OF pasture provided also has
some bearing on the matter. A clover or
blue grass pasture will almost invariably
be badly uprooted while loueof bromus is
rarely, if ever, much disturbed.
OF the methods of prevention prevalent
the most satisfactory one is probably that
of Sitting the disc through the thickest
part with punch. Hogs SO treated sell
dom root, as it causes too much discomfort.
The old method of inserting two OF three
rings in the disc is not satisfactory, as che
rings frequently pull out or the nose be-
comes SO hardened that roofing even with
the rings in ceases to be painful.

The Manure Pit,

From Michigan Farmer
There has been good deal said recent
ly about hauling out manure every day and
spreading it on the field because of the
fact that fresh manure goes farther than
after it has laid in the barnyard for time.
1t is obviously impossible, however, to
haul it out every day, partly because some
farmers haven't enough to make load
every day, partly because the weather is
often unfavorable or fields too soft to get
on them and partly because the field which
you wish covered may have crop ON it
which interferes with the application. Also
in summer time it proves nuisance to
have to use the team perhaps an hour each
day to haul manure. This plan of hauling
every day is simply foolish plan for the
average farmer.
1t doesn't follow, however, that the
manure should be thrown out in piles in
the barnyard to remain for weeks or per-
haps for months. There is an alternative
plan. There is already considerable agita-
ton on the subject of manure pits. IF ma
nure is put in concrete pit and is allowed
to get neither too dry nor too wet and if a
little acid phosphate, land plaster Or kainit
is sprinkled on it as it is putin, it will keep
with little loss of fertility for many weeks.
Such pit would preferably be under cover
and not so deep, SO that chickens and even
hogs could get in to 'work over the ma
nure and extract some profit from it. Ar
rangement should then be made to load
this manure with grapple horse fork,
thus avoiding the dirty and laborious work
incident to loading by hand. The pit
should be centrally located and carriers
should convey the manure from the horse
and COW stables to the pit every day. A
day could occasionally be devoted to clean
ing out the pit and spreading the manure
where it is wanted.

JOHN AND THOMAS.

Gentle John was as good as gold,
He always did as he was told;
He never played with rowdy boys,
And dolls and jacks were his favorte toys.
John had no taste for manly sports
And even hunned the tennis courts;
His only thought, in school or college,
Was how to stuff himself with knowledge;
The consequences was that he filled his nod.

But the boys all called him mollycoddle.
Teasing Tom was very bad boy,
A great big stick was his favorte toy;
He walioped the boys and teased the girls
And privately shipped their yellow curls;;
When he'd play football he'd gouge and kick,
And he bit the line like ton of brick
He exceled in every strenuous sport,
And his smash was famed on the tennis court;
When Tom grew up he was Roosevelts pet
And member of his Tennis Cabinet.

GREAT TEMPERANCE
WAVE DOWN SOUTH

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 13.-The
south has begun to fight crcime
with prohibition.
When Georgia went dry, it was
because of the menace of whisky
induced crime among the negroes
and the lower class of whites. 1t
was the states eloquent reply to
gia alone, but through all the south
the prohibition wave is sweeping
like a giant broom in the wake of
the presidential muck rake. 1t is
believed that Georgia's example is
bound to be followed by other
states of the section.
Never was Georgia disrupted as
she was in the recent struggle. The
Savannah Clearing House associa-
ton protested, the seaport towns
went in arms, many of the greater
business interests joined the oppo-
sition, but in spite of spectacular
campaign of obstacle and filibuster-
ing the Observation-Disclosures bill
was finally passed, sweeping pro-
hibition measure making illegal the
manufacture, sale and barter of
liquors and Intoxicating liquors him
liquors and Intoxicating drinks
throughout the state, and Gov.
Hoke Smith, although part owner
of the palatial Piedmont hotel, the
nude goddess in whose bar is ia
nous the country over, has affixed
his signature.
The bill takes effect January l
next.
Maine, Kansas and Georgia are
now the three state of the union
which are wholly dry. But in
North Carolina a majority of the
counties are dry, with dispensaries
in others. South Carolina has dis
pensaries. Alabama is expected
to follow Georgia. There are only
a few wet towns in Tennessee. Ken
lucky has more dry counties than
wet ones.
And, apart from all religious con-
victions, aside from the tremendous
influence of the women of the south
this prohibition wave would never
have attained its bigness if there
had not been added to these the in
creasing belief in the minds of the
business men, the hard, practical,
clear headed bankers and lawyers
and juriests and capitalists, that
the peril of the south lay in the
combination of ignorance and
whisky.
The cry that prohibition does
not prohibit" for once has lost its
