The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1907-06-01

A sad-eyed mule stood In the rain.
Tired was he and sick;
But against all proffered sympathy
He stubbornly did kick.
A cat came up to share his woes,
With new and gentle purr;
Bnt she, alas! was soon transformed
Into fiddle strings and fur.
A yellow dog next offered to
His trials and t,oubles share;
And a moment later sausage meat
Was flying through the air.
Then little John, the farmers son,
Attempted, to his sorrow,
To drive him under shelter, but
His funeral is to morrow.
A binding fash, an awful roar
He hadn't time to duck it,
No friendly lightningrod was nigh
The mule he kicked the bucket.

Don't Be Business Duck.

A duck who had faithfully stuck to
business during the summer and laid
several dozen large, fawn colUred eggs.
c,mulained that she was not appreci-
ated.
See that hen over there?" said the
duck, she has not laid 50 many eggs
as / have. nor 81 big, but she has
books written about her and verses
composed in her honor, while nobody
saws a word ali nut me-"
''The trouble with you is" said a
wise cock standing near, that you
do not tell the public what you have
done You lay an egg and waddle of
without letting anybody In the neigh
borhood know it.. If you want to cut
any ice Ia this community you must
learn to advertise"
1t is not generally known, but never
theleSS a fact, that there are people
still living who can remember the
time when tomatoes were raised
merely for their beauty as we now
raise roses. While its beauty was adj
mired it was considered like the poiso-
nous oak, dangerous to even handle
except by dark Completed" persons.
Years OF acquaintanceship, however,
wore of It's superstition and a few
"fool-hardy'' actually owned up to
having tasted the fruit. From this
small beginning has gradually grown
a use that make today an industry
with a combined capital OF over thirty
millions OF dollars, which disburSes
millions OF dollars to its employees each
year and aggregates an output OF two
lhnndred and forty million cans.

VERY NEAT APPEARANCE

The following is what the Ia
gus Mirror and the Donny-
brook paper says about a rural
deacon who evidently resides
somewhere in the vicinity OF
those two towns:
There is a fellow in the real
estate business in a town not
more than a thousand miles
from here who did a little adver.
tising through the columns of
the Mirror and he forgot to pay
it. We have sent him state
ments a number OF times but it
fails to 'jar him loose He
don't even take the time to an
swer them. That fellow was
just out with the peoples money
in this country and he caught a
few. When a man is mean
enough to beat an editor out of
an adver tising bill he will go the
limit and beat anybody. = :
This fellow who cropped us in" is
a deacon in a church and a
leader OF society in his home
town but he has got nice bunch
OF our peoples money and now
evidently thinks the people be
damned. -Tagus Mirror.
We have been up againstsome
OF these whited sepulchers, our
selves, brother Egan, and the
only consolation that we can
offer is to remind you that those
fellows probably have a nice
warm berth prepared for them
in the great beyond. If they can
make any money by beating
bills they will need it to buy fans.

rid customs I'm those countries Is the
''poopootan." what l should like TO call
the tribal suicide, says c. Theme, cor
respondent OF De Niewe Courant, The
Hague. A Bali prince. with the In
stincts OF his warrior race. declines TO
surrender. but prefers death. and he
and all his people seek death. The
Prince of Badoeng did this. He turn
ed deaf ear to all suggestion OF a
settlement, but he and all connected
with him. men. women and children.
committed suicide. Nearly the same
thing happened in 1895 in Lombok. a
neighboring island The old king had
surrendered. but one OF his sons, a
cripple, walked out with all his rela-
tons dressed I'm gorgeous garments.
bedecked with all their jewelry, and
with their swords and lances attacked
the Dutch army, only to find the death
they courted. Those who were not
killed in the fight were afterward
found to have also killed themselves.

EertiIizina Strawberries.

In replying to an inquiry as to the
use of certain fertilizers for strawber-
~ plants DIR. III. ]. Wheeler of Rhode
Island has the following in New Eng
land Homestead:
No doubt the application OF muriate
Of potash this winter would be helpful
to strawberry plants another season
unless there Is sufficient supply Of
potash already In the soil. At all events.
IL the potash Is not applied this winter
1t should be applied quite early In the
spring. 1t is generally recommended
In Europe to apply these salts the au-
tumn previous TO the time when GER
tain crops are to be grown. but in this
country this is seldom done, no doubt
on account of our heavy rains and the
fear OF possible losses. In the case of
potash 1t is apt to be held quite secure
ly by the soil unless IL be of very
sandy or gravelly character
So far as concerns lime. IL much Of II
is used IL is doubtful IL IL will be help
full. In some cases very small amounts
have been used TO advantage-for in
stance. not more than from half a ton
to a ton per acre-but IL must be work
ed into the soil rather than applied to
the surface.
II phosphate is to be applied to the
surface, II should by all means be the
acid phosphate and not the pulverized
phosphate rock known as Floats" II
floats are to be used for strawberries.
they should by all means be worked
into the soil most thoroughly before
the plants are set. In fact. the same
advice is good in the case of bone.
II will doubtless be wise to apply
both muriate OF potash and acid phos-
plate In the early spring / should
apply a small amount OF nitrogen in
addition. either In nitrate Of soda or In
dried blood. and observe whether or
not II gave good or poor results. No
one can predict beforehand without a
full knowledge OF the soil.
