Tito (Hit Knll Vtnc.
Ill the merry days of boyhood when w
never knew a enre
Greater than the mumps or measles br
a mother's cut of hair,
When a sore toe was a treasure and a
stone limine on tho heel
Filled the other boys with envy which
they tried not fo conceal.
There were many treasured objects on
the farm we lipid most dear,
Orchard, fields, the creek we'swam la,
nnd the old sprlnir'cold and clear;
Over there the woods of hlck'ry and of
onk no deep ond dense,
Looming up behind the outlines of the
old
rail
fence.
On
Its rolls the quail would whistle
In
the early summer morn,
Calllnii to their biding follow In the field
of wo vim; corn.
And the meadow larks and robins on the
ktakes would sit and sing
Till the forest shades behind them with
their melody would rlnK.
There the catbird and the Jaybird sat
and called each other names.
And tho siiulrrels and the chipmunks
played the cbase-and-catch-me
camcs,
And tho starter snake was often in un
pleasant evidence
la the grasses In the corners of the
old
rail
fence.
As we crew to early manhood when we
thought the country girls
In the diadem of beauty were the very
falrent pearls
Oft from epellln' school or meetln' or the
Jolly shuckln bee
Down the old lane we would wander
with n merry little "she."
On the plea of being tired (Just the conn
try lover lie).
On a grassy seat we'd linger in the
moonlight, she and I,
And we'd plant a future picture toucbe
with colors most Intense
As we sat there In the corner of the
old
rail
fence,

Question of Too Much LnnJ.
There are lots of land owners In ev
ery section of the country who are
land poor. They own and control more
land than they can work to advantage.
They hang on to It like grim death
until the sheriff comes to their relief
or they are fortunate enough to llnd
some man who has a sum of money
large enough to pay one-third down
and a bank account good enough to
take the risk of getting the balance to
gether In one and two years. There
nre plenty of largo farms throughout
the country which could be made to
pay for themselves within a few years
If divided up properly and plaeed In
the hands of ambitious men who would
appreciate an opportunity to secure and
pay for a home of their own.
Another benefit would acrrue from a
clmngo of this kind. The condition of
society would bo much benefited. As a
rule, either In city or country, the best
communities are those In which the
people own their own homes. It pre
vents that floating element from pre
dominatingpeople who have but lit
tle Interest In their surroundings, as
they aro here one year and somewhere
else another. It Is a fact that values
are higher, the moral tone better and
the people more happy and prosperous
In communities where there are small
farms which aro owned by their occu
pants. Stockman and Farmer.
Golden Cuban Pumpkin.
Tho Golden Cashaw pumpkin Is ono
of the best of the newer sorts, both for
ple-maklng and for stock-feeding.
When tho pumpkin Is matured the skin
Is golden orange In color. The flesh
Is tine gralued, rich yellow In color,
sweet and rich In flavor. This variety
Is one of tho sorts It would pay to grow
alone, that Is, not In the corn Held,
by anyone who had a largo herd of cat-
tlo to feed. Grown alono tho yield Is
materially Increased. Indianapolis

Green Vca Louie.
Tho Department of Agriculture has
Issued a report on tho ravages of tho
green pea louse, giving warning that
this Insect, ono of tho most Important
of those which havo ravaged tho crops
of tho country durlug the last two sea
sons, will widen Its range geographi
cally and Increase the amount of de
struction. SInco Its first nppcaranco In May,
1800, at Bridges, Va., Its devastation
has steadily Increased nnd It has now
becomo tho cause of great loss In tho
principal pea growing regions of the
United States. Tho estimated loss It
caused along the Atlantic coast States

without lifting It off Is to set four posts

Quality of Potatoes.
The demand for quality Is by no
means confined to fruit, as many farm
ers think. One might say the consumer
ljns no means of knowing If a certain
variety of potato U likely to cook up
mealy or be soggy, nnd that Is true so
far as the appearance of the tuber goes,
but here Is the way the consumer treats
the matter: He gets a small supply of
potatoes from the grocer and finds
them soggy and tasteless. The neit
time he goes to the grocer he tells him
In unmistakable terms that no more
potatoes like the last aro wanted. The
grocer In turn lays down the law to the
commission man from whom he buys.
who In turn looks up the source of sup
ply, nnd either writes the grower that
no inore of the variety should be sent
or says nothing and sells them to whom
he can at any price be can. Thus the
producer pays the penalty for not tak
ing quality Into consideration In potato-
growing. Test varieties In the soil you
Intend to use, and know what you aro
doing. If the soil Is sandy or gravelly
loam nnd the plot has the proner care.
there is no trouble In producing qual

Pasturing In Sprayeit Orchards.
The statement was recently made In
an agricultural paper that several cases
of swlue-kllllng by pasturing In spray
ed orchards were on record. There Is
certainly some mistake about this, for
the matter has been repeatedly tested,
and It has been found that It would re
quire tho consumption of nearly half a
ton of pasture by an animal for It to
obtain sufficient poison from under
sprayed trees to Injure it. Moreover,
swlno of all animals are tho least af
fected by poisons of any pasturing aid
mals In orchards that have been spray
ed, provided only spraying has been
done, nnd there has been no large quan
tity spilled over a smnll area. In the
latter case animals would be likely to.
