Some will read them trashy novels, he they yellow, black or gray Others want the latest fickshun, (cost a dollar and a half Others like the "comic section", something jest to make 'em laugh.

When ye wonder from the fireside and the place where ye was born,1 Away from all your kin folks, and yer feeling all ferlorn, When the tears chase one another, kind-o lonesome down yer cheek-^-And ye'd give a brand new fiver jest to hear old friends speak Why jest take up that old paper when ye feeling sorter lone, And yer'll get jest gobs o'comfort from that paper from yer home.
Married—young Miss Nellie—Jest a baby in the crib, And the feller that she married, that there little bow-legged kid, Must have grown a heap.l reckon, since I have left the town But old time makes mighty changes, who'd ha* thot. it, I'll be bound .Them that's born and them that's married, them that's 'gathered their own Not a single one omitted from that paper back at home.
Quit a takin' that old paper? peers ike I would lose a friend Time would weigh most mighty heavy, weeks would never have an end But when I come home all tuckered, long the last end of the week, And see that old home paper, bet your life, I take a sneak Paper, specks, with pipe and backer, by the chimney all alone, W.orld shut out, I read the paper that is printed back at home.
Yes a feller kinder hankers for the things he used to know Likes to think about the pleasures of the happy long ago And the man who writes that paper (mighty decent sorter chap) Knows the things that interest people, and he has 'em all down pat, And he feels for him who's wandered, seems to know how he's alone— So he brightens up the paper with the news from back at home.
You can talk about your dailies and yer magazine and books, Filled with murders, thefts and love tales, and girl with purty looks They might do for kind-o people with that air kind-o taste. But lor me I'm mighty busy and have little time to waste. Next arter thet old Bible thet was my Mother's own, Comes the dear old county paper, that is printed back at home. v-
Read it. do I read it? Read it all thewhole way through Ads and all. each word and letter. well I rather guess I do! Up and down, and back and forward, o'er and o'er and still again, And I bless the hand that wrote it, bless the hand that held the pen Bless the God who binds his children, even tho' afar they roam, Binds them to the scenes of childhood, by the paper back at home.

GRASS STIMULANTS, IN LATE SPRING
Nitrate Of Soda Is Recommonded By U. S. -inowfiv luaunjedaa ture In Last Article.
Washington, D. C., In the late spring, about a month after active grass growth has commenced on the lawn, it is desirable to apply a grass stimulant to keep the lawn in first-class condition. Nitrate of soda is a good fertilizer and will make the grass grow thickly with a rich dark green color that will shew itself promptly afr ter the application. The landscape gardener of the U. S. Department of Agriculture advises that those who use nitrate of soda should apply it at the rate of 50 pounds per acre once a month throughout the summer beginning about the middle of May in the latitude of Washington, D. C.

The nitrats of soda should be applied just before a rain or a sprinkling with the l^ose. Under ordinary conditions it will 'keep the lawn a vivid green during the period when the vitality of the plant is low. The applicatio of this fertilizer combined with careful watering will prevent the parched appearance of the lawn during the dry hot summer season.
When nitrate is applied during any dry period it should be used carefully. It can, however, be applied at any time if the nitrate of soda is powdered up fine before using b' it it is safest to dissolve it in water. Because of a generally prevailing fear that this fertilizer may ruin a lawn if used carelessly, the Department has been experimenting to see just, how much nitrate of soda would have to be used in order to kill grass. These experiments seems to show that nitrate of soda ean be used fairly extensively without causing injury, for attemtps to kill grass with it sues large xx'fifl 78T3 TA TE E were unsuccessful except when such large quantities as 400 pounds to an acre were used.
