But earthen were the sparrows,
And earth they did remain,
Though loud the Jewish children
Cried out and cried again.
Except the one bird only
The little Lord Christ made.
The earth that owned him master,
His earth heard and obeyed.
Softly .he leaned and whispered,
"Fly up to heaven, fy!"
And swift his little sparrow
Went soaring to the sky.
And silent all the children
Stood awestruck looking on
Till deep into the heavens
The bird Of earth had gone.
I like to think for playmate
We have the Lord Christ still
And that still above our weakness
He works his mighty will;
That all our little piaythings
OF earthsn hopes and joys
Shall be by his commandment
Changed into heavenly joys.
Our souls are like the sparrows
Imprisoned in the clay
Bless him who came to give them
winos
Upon q Christmas day.

PLANT A CHRISTMAS TREE.

A correspondent Of the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer offers timely
and pertinent Idea that should
commend itself to many readers.
1t refers to the use of Christmas
trees after the days festivities
are over.
In exclamation Of her plan she
offers the following clipping
from Good Housekeeping:
An eastern city carried out an
idea last year that might we'll be
initiated bv any progressive Or
ganization of women. After New
Years wagons went from house
to house to collect all the Christ
mas trees. These were taken to
the public squares. Sharpened
gu the ends. they were thrust
into the ground In artistic groups
and clumps Of varying heights.
In some cases they act as wind
shields for the growing shrubs
and evergreens. In every case.
though but temporary tenants.
they make attractive. restful
beauty spots for the eye. Com
pare this with the fate Of Christ
mas trees In your neighborhoOd.
After short week of tinseled
splendor they are often left in
the alleyways or litter up the
back yard for weeks"
This Interesting question Is
added:
Certainly the Christmas trees
In the southwest corner Of the
square are great Improvement
to It. and no one who sees them
can help wishing that they might
grow there all the year round.
They talk Of improving this cor
ner. Why not plant some little
evergreen trees!"
Worth considering. isn't It?

I like that old sweet legend
Not found in Holy Writ
And wish that John or Matthew
Had made Bible out Of il.
But, though il is not a gospel,
There 10 no law to hold
The heart from growing better
That hears the story told:
How tho little Jewish children
Upon a summer day
Went down across the meadows
With the Child Christ to play
And in the gold green valley
Where low the reed grass lay
They made them mock mud sparroWs
Out Of the meadow clay.
So, when these all were fashioned
And ranged in fiocks about,
"Now," said the little Jesus,
"We'il let the birds fly out"
Then all the happy children
Did call and coax and cry
Each to his own mud sparrow,
"Fiy, as bid you-fyl"

EMPIRE BUILDERS.

For all are empire builders here
Whose hearts are true to heav-
en- and home
And, year by slow revolving
year,
Fulfill the duties as they come.
So simple seems the task, and
yet
Many for this are crucified.
Aye. and their brother men for
get
The simple wounds in palm
and side.
But he that to his home Is true.
Where'er the tides Of power
may flow,
Has built a kingdom great and
new
Which time nor fate shall
overthrow.
These are the empire builders;
Annex where none shall say
them nay
Beyond the worlds uncharted
seas,
Realms that can never pass
away.

slider the dispatch of military force
to Mexico TO establish and maintain
the right of its nationals to live in
Mexican territory, and, even were it
so disposed, it is unlikely that the
United States would consent to an
expedition being sent. To the Uni
ted States the question will undoubt-
edly come, in one form or another,
and 1t may have many qualifications
aud variations, because 1t Is hardly
to be supposed that Villa will stop
with expelling Spaniards, but almost
certainly will undertake to drive out
all foreigners who displease him by
their lack OF sympathy for the revo-
utiouary regime he is commanding.
lie has shown by his treatment OF
the Benton case that he has little
regard for the considerations Of for
eign governments, and the supreme
chief" Gen. Carranza. apparently sup
ports him in his extreme attitude.
AS long as the Constitutionalists were
only rowing band of rebels, irregu-
lerities in foreign relations could be
overlooked, but now that they have
established "a control over a large
section of the country and are set
ting up some form OF government
and pretending to a permanent and
spreading authority, it will become
necessary to take serious cognizauce
of their acts, especially when they
are Of such sweeping character as
this order of expulsion against all
Spanish subjects.
The Mexican business does not inn
prove as il develops. Huerta sits
placidly and stupidity in his capital,
while his power crumbles in the north
and there is no possibility that he VIII
recover authority he has lost through
his own inertia and the enterprise of
his enemies. The Constitutionalist
movement has acquired great proper
lions and may prevail by the strong
arm over the whole of tho rent re.
public. But that will mean something
very different from stable and com
petent government for Mexico, and
the expulsion of the Spaniards is an
indication Of what is to be expected
from the success of the revolution.
The United States may have to do a
great deal more than watch the adj
ministration of Carranza and Villa.

sary and we should not neglect necessary step when we begin the culture of new crop. We get reports almost daily of suc- cess with these crops in all parts of the state and some from men who have failed in the same localities. Most all the failures are due to indifferent preparat : ion, failure to inoculate or to the lack of doing some other import t. ant thing for the particular crop. Inoculation is necessary where the seed are sOwn on a piece of land new to the crop. Write for a bulletin on Vetches.
 1 have been urging W n t e r crops for some time and l am getting some most encouraging reports. There will be more fall crops sown in Arkansas this year than ever before and there will be less feed to buy regardless of the short corn crop. There are many benefits to be gotten from fall work and we will profit much by it. We can blow deeper in the fall than we can afford to blow in the spring; we can be at work when otherwise there would not be so much to do; the land is protected from winter washing with some growing crop on it; and we have a fine past ure and then something to turn under in the spring; aside from that fall blowing is one of our best methods for combating the cotton worm and the corn worm and even the boil weevil. It will be a new day in Arkansas Agri- culture when every farmer prac- tices fall blowing and fall plant ing.

WEEKLY LETTER OF JOHN H. PAGE, COMMISSIONER MINES,

WITCHES.

The vetches are important win ter growing leguminous crops, that have not had much atten- ton in Arkansas and the South. They should be included in the list of fall sown crops. Especi- ally do they make fine combi- nation with oats rye. They ben- eft the land, afford pasture or hay if saved and cut down the feed bill in either case. In my opinion the greatest value of any of the fall sown crops is in the permanent improvement of the soil. The vetches add nitrogen
The Nevada County picayune., 1914-09-04

to the soil and furnish a great amountss ssof humus for the next staple crop. It not only farnish- es something to turn under in spring but protects the land dur ing the winter and affords all ex- cellent pasture.
 The Common Vetch and Hairy Vetch are the most popular of the many varieties of Vetch. Both are weak stemmed plants, both improve the soil, may be sown in the fall, both are best sown with oats or rye, to hold them up, both make good pas ture, hay or green manure as de sired and both require inoccula- tion for the best success and IT fact either the seed or the soil should be inoculated on the first trial of them.
 In my judgment Hairy Vetch is the best of the two for Arkan- sas. It does not require as fer tile soil as Common Vetch and in fact will do we'll on ordinary soil. Where red or crimson clover have been tried unnecessarily, Hairy Vetch ahas been found to be a fine substitute and is an excell- ent soil builder. The seed are higher than the seed for Con- mon Vetch butt are preferable Hairy Vetch will also staLd more cold than Common Vetch; neith- CT will stand our hot weather The bestEway to inoculate is to scattersabout 400 pounds of sod per acre from an old vetch field over the plot for Hairy or Con- mon Vetch and. harrow it in. The sod should be handled on some cloudy day. If the sod is not available it is advisable to buy the pure inoculation culture with which to inoculate the seed before planting.AtT h culture may be had from the U. s. De- partment of Agriculture at Wash ington, D. C., or can be bought from The Earp-Thomas Farmo- germ Co.,. Bloomfield, N. J., or from The kHomewood Nitrogen Co.,. 51 Liberty St., New York, N. Y. We have numerous fail ures with vetch. alfalfa. COW peas clovers and like crops because we fail to inoculate. It is neces-
