Longing.

Come to me In my dreams. and then
BY day shall be well again,
For then the night will more than pay
The hopeless longing OF the day.
Come, as thou cam'st. a thousand
times,
A messenger from radiant climes.
And smile ON thy new world. and be
AS kind To others as TO me-
Or. as thou never cam'st In sooth.
Come now, and let me dream IL truth;
And part my hair. and lass my brow.
And say, Ally love. why sufferest
ihou?"
Come to me in my dreams. and then
BY day | shall be well again,
For then the night will more than pay
The hopeless longing Of the day.

Late fall. according TO an expert

very early. In fact, II usually needs

well-drained site. and when the ground
is in good condition to work prepare

When transplanting always cut
back the dry or injured roots to fresh

with moist. mellow, surface soil and
lamp firmly.
set my plants five feet apart each
way, so they can be worked out a lit
tie each way. Do not allow the adjOin-
ing crop to encroach upon the bushes.
To insure good growth il is best to
give clean. thorough cultivation from
the early spring after they are planted
In the fall till about midsummer.
The fertility OF the soil about the
bushes may be most economically
maintained by occasional applications
OF barnyard manure They must have

marketable berries.

In the early spring. as soon as the

young currant worms on the lower
leaves Of the bushes. They may be
easily killed by spraying with Paris
