WE r TO- MANY.


We are not many. We who stand
Beside our comrades graves today,
But remnants OF q patriot band
Ere long we too shall pass away;
Yet while we live, with reverent hearts
Wen honor those who went before:
While as each brother, called, departs.
Is re-enlisted one name more.
We're growing old. who're left behind.
With children round our knees;
While still our stories, to their mind,
Are finer than the history's.
We are to them as heroes true. l s
And love OF country thrills each heart.
For we can tell of what we know,
OF battles where we bore our part.
We strew bright flowers DER our dead,
And smiles are mingling with them thersy
No longer DER them tears are she'd
We know the uniform they wear.
The flag still saves that Ger them waves;
But, as the pilgrim years go by,
How few are left to deck their graves.
And fewer-till we with them lie.
We stand upon the rivers verge.
And see the Golden City shine
Where all earth's warning discords merge
Into sweet harmonies divine
Dividing River, bright and cool,
Ger which we all must take our way.
When to that Harbor Beautiful
We all shall sail some day, some day.

THE UNKNOWN BLUE AND GRAY.

There are unknown graves in the valleys
That the troops of war possessed,
Where the bugleS sounded for rallies.
But the bullets sang OF rest;
And the mountains hold without number
Hidden graves from wars mad day
Where the unknown men have their slumb>r
In their shrouds of blue and gray.
And no drums will rumble and rattle
And no flies blow sharp and shriu
In the valleys that knew the battle,
Nor atop the lone high hill;
But the silent stars know the story
And the broad sky of the day
Bends and whispers low of their glory
10 these men of blue and gray.
And no banners Ger them are waving
No marches come and pause
With cheers for the land of their saving
Or tears for their lost cause;
Yet the twilight stars intermingle
with the hues when ends the day.
And the striving fag now are single
Ger the men of blue and gray.
There are unknown graves in the thickets.
or the missing scouts and the pickets
Yet they did not fall in vain.
Ihough their names may not be engravom
And their places in the fray.
In or hearts now each finds a haven,
They who wore the blue and gray.
For the God of battles is kindly
With none of mankind's hate
That is cherished even so blindly-
And these pawns of warfare's fate
Have their tombs of natures splendor
Each set forth in proud array
Through an impulse holy and tender.
Though they Wore the blue and gray.
Where once We're the guns that wrangled
Sounds the peace song of the thrush,
And the roses and vines are tangled
In the solemn. sacred hush;
Where the cannon one day would hurtle
Their missiles in the fray
Grows the rue and The creeping myrtle
Ger the graves of blue and gray.
They are natures hands that are strewing
The flowers on each mound;
1t is Gods own beautiful doing
mat each unknown grave Is found
Where the cypress leaves are aquiver
Where peaks lift through the day,
Where the forest signs to the river
OF the unknown blue and gray.

SOLDIERS I'M

They sleep beneath the daisied sod.
And over them we strew
White lilies with their hearts of GOLD.
And roses bright with dew.
They sleep beside their rusty swords
The blue coats and the gray.
Till Gabriel blows the reveille
Upon the Judgment Day.
They live within the nations heart.
Each gallant soldier-son
Who fought with Lee the losing fight
Or marched with Grant and won.
They live in every silver star
That glitters in the flag,
From old Nantuckets light to cold
Alaska's farthest crag.
For, 10! the dust of Dixie's dead
And stern New England's slain
Have filled the cracks in Freedoms wall
And made it sound again;
And every drop of blood they shed
Before the lannon's mouth
Clements the ties Of brotherhood
Uniting North and South.

COVER CROPS AND MANURES
Washing Of Land AID Exhaustins of
Humus Of Soils Result In Ire
mendcus Loss to South.

A most hopeful thing in Southern
agriculture is the increased interest in
winter cover and pasture crops. The
bulk OF the queries coming to the
Southern Agriculturist lately, says the
editor of that publication, have been
about green manure crops and meth
DDS Of seeding and fertilizing them.
Such interest is a cause for greatest
optimism.
The washing of Southern lands and
the exhausting Of the humus Of the
soils result in a tremendous loss.
Methods Of farming have been largely
res ponsible. The winter cover crop to
hold the land and to make green
manure to turn under to very large
extent meets the need and stops this
leak that annually results in loss Of
millions Of dollars worth Of fertility.
My the number Of cover crop and
s1ccn na.ure farmers steadily in

GOOD COMBINATION IN SOUTH
There Is Both Money and Pleasure In
Raising Poultry and Fru;t-Hens
Oevour Many insects

Raising poultry and fruit make an
ideal combination. There Is both mon
ey and pleasure in the business, says,
The Southern Fruit Grower. The fowls
seem to improve the fruit Not near as
much worm-eaten fruit will be found
where the hens and chickens have a
run among the trees. They eat much
of the fallen and decayed fruit also all
the insects that caused It TO decay.
thus removing the danger. Of having
other damaged fruit.
Then on the other hand, the poultry
derives great benefit from having an
orchard for run. They have shade
IN warm weather, which is very necea
sary for all kinds of poultry, and the
trees serve as q wind break during
stormy weather. Then the fruit and
insects the hens have to eat help
greatly in balancing up the ration an6
reducing the food supply bill.

:0!!.?0 PEST SPREADS
Two Measures Recommended
for Control of Insects.
Moth Has Now Reached State Of
Texas and Menaces Adjacent
S:at> s-Clean Cultivation and
Rotation Recommended.

Clean methods of cultivation and
crop rotation are two measures rec
onmended for the control Of the DO
a:o-tubcr moth in Farmers Bulletin
30. 557, which has just been issued
~ the bureau Of entomology of the
Tai.cd States department Of agricul-
Ire.
The potato-tuber moth has been the
worst potato pest in California and
has been know as an enemy to tobac-
co for several years in Florida, the
Carolinas and Virginia. Only last
year the scientists discovered how
rapidly this devastating pest is spread
ing. 1t has now reached the states
Of Washington and Texas and menaces
adjacent states. AS an enemy OF egg
rlant ard ground cherry it has been
observed IS far north as the Dis
trict of Columbia.
This new bulletin recommends clean
methods Of cultivation as the first
measure for destroying the potato
tuber moth This implies that all in
tested plants and such weeds as the
ground cherry, bull nettles and horse
nettles, growing in the vicinity Of the
potatoes, must be destroyed. This
can be done by prompt burning as
soon as it is evident that the insect
has attacked the plants. The burning
of these weeds will eliminate places
fer breeding Of the insect, and places
where it might spend the winter. Do
mestic animals, such as sheep and
hogs, are also valuable for the de-
struction Of such insects as might re-
main in old tubers and weeds. They
may be utilized by merely turning
them into the field.
AS in mcst other cases of insect
Injury, crop rotation is desirable
where possible, and the cooperation
of all potato growers Of the neighbor-
hood is practically necessity. There
are several alternate food crops which
do not suffer materially from this in
sect. Among the best of these are

posed outbuildings can be screened
with O few paintings that in a short
time will hide them. It will pay any
community to direct its attention to
the cleaning up and placing in proper
condition Of all Of these buildings so
that those from self respecting families
may not have their sense of common
decency and propriety offended. The
coal house or wood house, which fur
nishes a place for the bill poster to

paths from the road to the front en-
trance, to the we'll curb and perhaps
the outbuilding should be made Of such
material that they will always be in
proper condition to be used as walks.
In most places where trees have been
planted the entire front Of the house Is
hidden. If the planting were we'll to
the left and right of the building, max

sented to the passerby would be much
more pleasing. Low paintings, such as
nlacs, snowballs. hardy hydrangeas,
Towering ounce and syringas should
be planted in masses around the bor-
ders and IN the corners Of the schooi
lot The lawnmower should be used
upon the front of the school yard. Too
often the yards are allowed to grow
up to tall weeds which are cut down
only a week or two before school be-
gins.
The school yard may be planted in
such 4 way that there will be beautiful
pieces Of shrubbery in bloom before
the school closes, bright colored foliage
for the fall and for winter arched and
groined palaces formed by the snow
laden branches Of the trees AID bushes.

The SCHOOL YARD
AND ()UTbDILDINCS
Their Care Reflects Conditions
In Town or City.
MIRRORS OF PUBLIC PRIDE.
The Average Concern as to Private
Property Finds Itself Repeated In
the School Grounds Of a Community.
How They Can Be Beautifed.

In recent bulletin prepared by the
extension department Of the Ohio State
university Professor A. B. Graham
points out that it is not uncommon to
find in the dwelling house and the
grounds surrounding it manifestation
of pride in private property. The house
and barn, outbuildings and fences
show an appreciation Of the beautiful.
From year to year more good taste is
displayed in q greater number Of orna-
mental paintings and in the keeping
Of the lawn. The pines and spruces,
which in an earlier day were set so
thickly that they practically hid the
residence, have been cut from directly
in front Of the house so as to make it
central point Of observation. Local
pride also manifests itself in clean
fence rows, graveled driveways and
moved roadsides.
What might be considered an aver
age pride. as to the private property
finds itself reflected in the school
grounds Of that community. The pride
Of the community as q whole is very
often far below that shown in its best
private properties. The school grounds
are but mirrors in which the communi-
ties can see their own pride reflected.
An ash pile that has accumulated for
years shows the greatest degree of in
difference on the part Of both teachers
and patrons, for its removal from the
front door is an improvement that may
be easily made.
Perhaps the most demoralizing agen-
cy on rural school property is the i'm
properly cared for outbuiiding. Ex-
