A H= LITTLE CRIB. TWWith aching hearts-they put the litlle crib away— ‘ The sacred nest where she had slept— They touched it tenderly that woeful day, And whispering spoke and softly stepped, As if in fear of waking her who lay Alone out in the cold; they sighing pressed Their lips upon the little marks made by The baby fingers lying on her breast. - They sadly took the little crib down from its place And put it tenderly aside; How often had the lost sweet little face - Been pressed against its rails! They cried When locking at the empty little space There where her baby songs were sung and where o She had her happy baby dreams before The angel came that day and kissed her there. : The little crib that they so sadly put away T.ast year is where it stood before; They bend above it tenderly to-day— A baby sleeps in it once more; The grief that was so hard to carry they - Have lost in this new joy that is their owWn— : Oh Qod, keep in Thy all-embracing love The dear, cold little one who sleeps alone. —S. E. Kigser, in Chicago Record-Herald.

S e g Across Fanning’s Bridge g

am spending the summer at FernI cliffe Cottage. It stands on the side of a hill overlooking the French Broad valley. Far up the valley gleams the water of the beautiful stream, as it rushes on through mountain gorges and dales on its way to the Tennessee. Beyond the valley lie the foothills; high above these rise range after range of mountains. Above all towers the top of lonely Pisgah.

There has been the usual August rain, and the river is up and out of its banks, covering the fertile valley and climbing high up on the stalks of corn, Last night the moon was bright, and I went down to the bridge, which is hidden from the house -by a high hill crowning the bend in the river. In the soft light of the moon the old wooden bridge is very picturesque, but you cannot Irelp wondering if it will stand against that mighty rush of waters and all the driftwood which is swept against its supports. Now and then a big log hits against its wooden pier and you feel the jar and tremble of all its timbers.

1 stood near the center ;of the bridge as in a dream, watching the eddying of the waters and the play of the moonlight on its surface. Suddenly I was startled by the sound of a buggy, or some kind of vehicle clattering on the bridge. I turned in astonishment to see who could be going at such a gait at that time of night. What was my amazement upon seeing nothing—not a human being in sight, not a buggy or even a borse.

" “I must surely have been dreaming,” I said and turned again to avatch the water and the moonlight. In a moment the same sound disturbed my reverie. I turned once more in wonderment; the same result. Not a soul: nothing broke the quiet of the beautiful scene. I must confess it was becoming somewhat uncanny; and when a third time this startling noise was heard the bright, cheery lights of home rose in alluring colors before me, and I started in that direction.

1 was just nearing the end of the bridge when I saw my old friend By-Golly-Jim, as he was familiarly known. I knew ne was thé bridge watcher, and he had probably come down to remove the driftwood from the pier. This was his mission. I greeted him and led him to the cen#sr of the bridge under pretense of looking at the drift. Again the clattering of wheels and horse’s hoofs were heard. I turned to him in questioning astonishment. His face wore a curious kind of satisfied expression. . : :

“You heerd it, too, did ye?” he gaid. ‘lt bothered me lots at first, but I done got plum used to it now. They say that's Dick Lorick driving. He comes every full moon ever since it happened, an’ that’s nigh on to five years. Whoop! thar comes a big *un, sho’.” With this the old man climbed out on the pier .and with a long pole pushed the log away from the pier. It seemed to me a perilous operation, but he appeared to be perfectly unconcerned and fearless about hanging over the angry water.

1 moved to the end of the bridge and sat down, being very anxious to hear the account of Dick Lorick, but knew it was better to let Jim take his own time in the telling of it.

After awhile he came and sat down by me, saying: “Yes, on this Kind o’ night I don’t mind having company on this bridge, not in the Ileast particle. You know I ain’t scared, but it makes me, feel kind of skittish, sho’, to hear that horse and buggy come clatterin’ over the bridge and not see a durn soul.” :

*No,” I said, * of course you don’t believe in that foolishness; but who was Dick Lorick and what happened to him?” _ * “Who he was and whar he come from- nobody ’round in these parts can tell ye; but what happened to him I seed myself. It was this way. You see that little cabin over thar on the side of that hill—you can just see the roof of it from here. Nobody lives thar now, and I don’t reckin’ they ever will. “Well, old man Joe Skinner used to live thar, and a meaner man never walked God’s ground. He was so mean to his wife they say she was .glad to die and get rid of him; but she left a darter behind, and if ever I was sorry for anybody it was for that ’ar Truthy Skinner. And pretty! There wasn't any likelier gal in all these mountains. As old as I is, I dsed to plum love to look at her, but I allers looked out the corner of my eye when my old woman was around, for she is powerful cantankerous and perticlar. But Truthy was one of them proud-looking creeters. sBhe hilt her head just as high and walked just like a high-stepping horse. And as mean as her daddy was to her it never made her stop her proud ways. She cooked and washed and serubbed for him; but sghe was high-headed all the time. Bhe stuck to him, too. ~ “Thar was Will Lacy, over the giver, that had been keepin’ company with her a long time, and he sot a Jot of store by her, too, he did, and

he kept on a-beggin’ her to go and look after his house for him. He had a real good farm up on the river, and had built him a nice little cabin, lookin’ to the time . when Truthy would marry him. But she said she didn’t belieye it was right to leave her dad, no matter how bad he treated her. Somcbody had to.do for him.

“Just about this time Dick Lorick showed up in these parts. As I said, nobody knowed whar he come from, but I allers thought he was runnin’ from the revenue officers. Well, he was powerful good-looking, wore fine clothes, and had the finest horse I ever seed. But I wouldn’t ’a’ rode him or driv’ him for all the money you could ’a’ give me. He sartinly was close kin to tne Old Boy, and wouldn’t ’low nobody to touch him but Dick. I allers ’lowed he’d take Dick to the devil, and, sho’ 'nough, he did. -

“As I was a-saying, '‘as soon’ as Dick Lorick sot eyes on Truthy Skinner, that day in Fair Creek church, he must ’a’ said to hisself: ‘That’s the girl I want, and I’'m goin’ to have her.” So he made up to old Skinner, and Skinner asked him to the cabin, and they got to be as thick as two peas.

“You bet your bottom dollar this kind o’ thing didn’t suit Will Lacey; but what could he do? The old man was agin him, and he couldn’t get to see nigh as much of Truthy as Dick did, and he was mighty 'feared she would be took with his good looks and sto’ clothes. It was nip and tuck now between Dick and Will. All the neighbors was bettin’ on one or t'other of ’em. Will, he begun to think that Truthy liked Dick the best, and she was too proud to tell him better. So things went on gettin’ worse and worser.. Will’s only chance was to show up Dick. He watched all the country papers to see if they was advertisin’ for a jail bird, but he couldn’t find no description that looked like Dick. “At last we heerd that old Joe was goin’ to make Truthy marry Dick the next week. We all went to meetin’ that Sunday. Truthy was there, lookin’ mighty white and mis’able, but she hilt her head. as high as ever. Dick and her dad didn’t ’low no one to git nigh her. After meetin’ he kind o’ sneaked around and asked some o’ us to come to his house Wednesday and see Truthy married. Will' was mighty cut up, and that evenin’ I heerd some o’ the boys say he’d gone to town, tho’, says I to myself, it’'s a curious time to go to town, and the roads like they is, and another man walkin’ off with yvour sweetheart. I had been bettin’ on Will all the time. I give up right then and thar. o

“Well, Wednesday came, and it cleared up for the first time in two weeks. 1 don't know whether Brother Sales’ pra'rs had anything to do with its clearing or not. You see it was just a-comin’ down an’ ruinin’ all the ‘crops, so we all 'lowed it might do some good to pray in meetin’ for it to hold up. So we elders got together and told Brother Sales he wouldn’t be goin’ agin the Scriptures to pray for what we all wanted so bad. ‘Well,” says he, ‘l'll do it, if vou are all so set on it, but ‘cordin’ to my idee, it ain’t much use in it as long as the wind sets from the southeast.” Anyhow it did stop, an’ the Lord got the credit for it.- But the roads was terrible, an’ the river was just like it is now, roarin’ and chargin’; and ’way out of its banks. My old ’oman said she wouldn’t crosg this here river to see anybody spliced, let alone Dick Lorick. So I went by myself, It was more like a funeral than a weddin’. Poor Truthy looked awful white, and kept goin’ to the door like she wus 'spectin’ sonmebody. Joe Skinner and Dick was the only pleased ones, and they had been havin’ a little too much corn for their own good. I could hear Dick’s horse neighin’ and powin’ out in the yard, where he was standin’ hitched to a buggy; for

Dick ‘lowed he would take his wife off that night to g¢catch the train.

“Pretty soon the preacher and five or six neighbors come in, and old Joe he ’lowed thar wasn't any use waitin’ any longer. Truthy took one more look out'n the door and came back and stood up by Dick just as quiet and proud like. The preacher started the sermon, and all was as solemn as could be, when we heerd the sound of horses’ feet splashin’ thro’ the -mud. The door opened sudden like and thar stood Will Lacy; Dbehind: him two constables.. ‘Dick, you're wanted for the murder—’ Dock didn’t wait to hear the rest. In a jiffy he {was out’n the back door and in -his' buggy. There was a general stampede; everybody ’cept Truthy rushed toward the river, for we could see Dick drivin’ like mad. That horse of his’n looked like he had the devil in him, sho’ nough. On to the bridge he flew. *By golly,’ says I, ‘he’s gone!’” But just as he got about to the middle of the bridge I heerd somebody on t’other side holler: ‘Halt!’ an we heerd a pistol shot ring out. The next minute we seed, for it was bright as day, that devil of a horse rar up, and over the rail he went like a flash, buggy and all. It was an awful cry Dick give as he went down, but the roarin’ waters closed over him. and we never seed him no more. That pistol shot must er done the. business, for the poor horse, and Dick was caught in a suck-hole. Any how, we never found anything but some pieces of the buggy, and Dick must be restin’ mighty uneasy; for see how he Leeps comin’ back.”

“Well, what become of Truthy?” T asked. “Oh, she married Will; and Joe he didn’t live long after Dick Lor ick went down. He was §ho’ upsot. “Well, here comes another log. Wait till I get it away and I'll walk along.ane. I don’t ’low to spend all night listin’ to Dick Lorick.”— New Orleans Democrat.

Buidirom. g s Y IROBR S Wm& m UGS LA P e IRTES Ao e RUNS BACK AND FORTH. Reversible Mowing Machine Is a Late . Invention in the Way of Farm Implements, : It is a well-known fact that with mowers and reapers it is difficult to cut grass or grain which has been blown down by the wind and become lodged on the ground. This trouble arises largely from the necessity of having to cut around and around the piece on all sides with the'machines now in use, instead of doing all the cutting on the most convenient side. To provide a machine which can be run back and forth on the same side of the field Nils S. Hindbjorgen, of Hendricks, Minn., has designed the reO 0 IT\ TN\ 771 D ~-@"“;‘.’Q [ ‘l‘ = “i'lf; | DI : TL'q P “@W"? e eNI T A ——— 2 RUNS IN EITHER DIRECTION. versible mower which is shown in the illustration. The tongue of the machine is pivoted at the center and by pulling a lever the pin which locks the tongue to the curved frame is drawn and the team is swung around to pull the mower in the opposite direction. The cutter bar has a double set of knives and the running gear works as well in one direction as the other. The mower is also designed for use in large fields, where it isnot desirable to cut clear around the piece ou account of its size.—Chicago Daily News, . - FOLLOW ROTATION.

Good Results Can Only Be Obtained When the Prescribed Lines Are Adhered To. . :

A proper rotatioa is of prime importance, but one cannot have its good results and continually break in upon its preseribed lines. Many make ne effort to pursue a well-defined policy. Others follow a rotation after a fashjon, but violate its rules upon very slight pretexts. If rotation is good for part of a field, it is good for all of it, and the part interfered with is always the poorest part of the field, the very part needing systematic care. Practical farmers have found that a careful rotation not only increases the quantityand improves the quality of all crops grown, but gradually improves the texture and the fertility of the soil. In the face of these well-known facts farmers will break their 7rotation, when with a little effort it might have been kept intact. Perhaps a clay point of three or four acres is poorly seeded to clover. Clearly the right thing to do'would be to reseed in the spring when seeding the wheat land But no, this man plows it for corn. What has he done? He has deprived the soil of the renovating crop, and has subjected it to the hard task of growing two consecutive crops, a

task hard even for the best of soil. Nor is this all.” The next time in the rotation that this field is seeded to clover, it will be found still less able to grow a good crop without liberal guantities ¢f tanure. In® votation of crops, no part of the soil intended for the plow should be pastured. Don’t pasture young clover, for it needs u good growth to insure #t against freezing out. Don’t pasture what is to be broken in the spring, as it has a tendency to make clods, and twentieth century farming is not to be done among clods. Soil, climate and market must determine what your rotation is to be, and when it is once established treat it with respect.—A. N. Springer, in Agricultural Epitomist.

HEow to Lay Out Lawns,

A good and fairly well-kept lawn is the foundation for all decorative effect. Make it as continuous as possible. With most people the term “lawn” is associated with a thick, closely cut mat of green. This, with the water facilities and time at the disposal of the average farmer, is rarely to be cecured. Such a lawn is desirable, but not indispensable, nor is it necessary that the grading be perfect. A slope from the house is, of course, preferable. The same preparation and care that most farmers give their meadows —if there isn’t time for more—will, with the proper seed, secure a fairly good lawn. Of course, as with any of his crops, the better the preparation the better the results. For seed use pure blue grass, with a little red-top and white clover if wanted. = Cheap “lawn mixtures” are to be avoided—they are “mixtures” usually of ¢ld and poor grass seeds and weeds.—Farmers’ Voice.

Filling Secil with Humus,

One man took 70 acres, which had grown corn for years and yielded 30 bushels ef ears, and seeded it at the last working with crimson clover. "The following spring, when the clover was in bloom, it was plowed under and the soil well harrowed. The last of June 4t was seeded with cow peas, with a little South Carolina rock. The cow peas were plowed under when 18 inches high, which required three mules and a heavy plow. Wheat was sown in the fall, a month after the plowing. The yield was 35 bushels to the acre, and it has given 120 bushels of corn since. Filling the soil with humus is, very profitable. * New Remedy for Insomnia, A preacher writing in the Poultry Keeper claims to have discovered a new remedy for insomnia, and threatened nervous prostration., He took the medicine himself and it completely cured him, but left him with another disease, which seems to be incurable, judging from the way he writes. He subseribed for a lot of farm and poultry papers, and read them instead of theology. In a short time he could gleep as soundly as anybody, but he Jimmediately took a severe attack ‘of ‘hen fever from which he has never recovered. Go, thou; and do likewise!

AGRICULTURAL SUCCESS. |

Prime Essentials Are Good Seed, Planting in Good]‘ Soil and Systematiec Cultivation,

. Good seed is one of the foundations of successful agriculture. Good culture is needed to make the best success, but no amount of culture can make worthless seed grow-or indifferent 'seed produce good crops. Whether one is planting corn as a fiedl erop or pansies to beautify the home, cabbage by the acre of a bit of parsley to garnish the Christmas turkey, the quality of the seed measures the quantity and qualitylof the product. i

The cost of the seed and the time used in getting it into the ground is lost if it does not grow. Worse than this, when it is discovered poor seed has been planted, the season may be too far gone to get it in at all or in time to have it do its best. | Then how foolisl¥ to plant any-but good seed, charged with vitality! ' The quality of the seed makes no difference in the labor necessary to plant, no difference in the work of culture and harvesting, but a vast difference in the quality and quantity of the product. Then why not plant seed that will produce the best quality, whether grain, vegetables or flowers? The first cost of the seed for the best and the indifferent sorts varies but little, and it is very poor economy to waste money on poor seed when a trifle more will procure the best. In speaking of good seed as the foundation of successful agriculture it is well to remember that horticulture is a branch of agriculture and that trees, bushes, plants, cuttings and scions may be regarded as the “seed” in the fruit plantation and that it is just as important to have this “seed” as good as that used in the field, garden or flower bed. .

We wish it could be impressed upon all that the seed question is of first importance in any and all branches of agriculture; get that settled right and the question of proper soil and right culture will adjust themselves. Get good seed, plant in good soil and give good culture and success may be looked for. Get poor or indifferent seed, and the best soil and culture the most thorough cannot bring agricultural success.—Farmer’s Voice.

Turn'the handles and stick either way. Anyone can stretch wire by this method as tight as in' any other way,—A, V, Herron, in Farm and Honee . EARLY FORAGE CROEFS. They Should Be Planted as Soon as It Is Possible to Get the Seed in the Ground, The present scarcity of stock feed in many sections where last season’s drought prevailed will be a strong insentive to our readers to be prepared at the earliest possible moment to get seed for qluick‘maturing forage crops in the ground. A few small patches of ground so situated that they can be grazed and sown toj oats, corn, rape, Kaffir corn, ete., as soon as it is possible to get the seed in the ground, will be found very helpful. If oatsand rape seed or corn and rape seed be sown together the oats or corn will afford the first grazing and the rape will provide, as it were, a second crop of forage without further preparation. Early varieties of sweet corn will be found very useful for forage purposes, either to be grazed or later in the season cut and fed green. : Pasturing corn may strike some as a novel suggestion, but it is a perfectly feasible one. In from four to six weeks from time of sowing the seed, broadcast, or better, in drills, i the corn can be grazed. Justafter the plants come up, run a light harrow over the ground and sow Dwarf Essex rape seed—about two pounds to the acre—and harrow again, and one will have pasturage for a good portion of the season. The corn can be pastured when' 12 to 14 inches high. This will be found particularly valuable for sheep, pigs and young cattle. "Heavy stock will cause more waste.—Rural World. :

Beets for!Dairy Cows,

My three years’ experience in raising beets at the state public school has been very satisfactory in results. They are an'excellent conditioner, and fed judiciously with grain, chopped feed and bran I consider good—onehalf beets, one-fourth bran, onefourth chopped feed results in a greater flow of milk of superior quality. lam not prepared to answer in regard to the money profit of beets fed alone, as we have never fed them without grain. We consider the Golden Tankard thes most desirable kind to, raise.—B. F. Clisby, in Farmers’ Review. : ; Improvement in Plants, The superiority of our present varieties of plants over those grown even within the memory of those of us in middle life, is very great .in many instances. . The results achieved with \some are' indications of those that are possible with many, perhaps all. In the case of staple crops the improvement possible, even if it should prove to be bur in small degree, may in the aggregate be of gﬁram economic moment.

Sullivan, 111., March 31st.—Mrs. Kitty F. Seaney was very ill for months and notwithstanding the best possible medical attendance she got no better. The doctors said she had Bright’s Disease, and gave her little or no hope of ever being well again. She suffered great pain in her back, which nothing seemed able to relieve, till at last encouraged by the reputation Dodd’s Kidney Pills have attained in the community as a cure for Kidney Diseases she began to use them. The result was a surprise both to Mrs. Seaney and the physicians, for soon after the treatment was commenced her kidneys threw off large quantities of dark diseased matter and she improved rayedly. She usedin all ten boxes. and has completely recovered good health without pain or symptoms of the Bright’s Disease.
