In the long and; jamtuslng chronicle ot dramatic contretemps none is more ludicrous then something of CSara Morris. It happened years ago, dur ing a New York run of "Camille," "but it was so far from the sort of thing tihat is easily forgotten that Miss Morris still loves to tell the story, usually prefacing it with: Somewhere in the wide, wide world, there is an actor and a good aetor wtio can never eat celery without thinking of me." Then sbe explains: "In the first scene of 'CamiHe,' as you remember, Armand takes a rose from his1 mistress -as a love-token. But this particular night, just before we reached that point, I suddenly missed the floorer from its accustomed place on my breast. I tad Tto have the blossom or something for a sub stitute; . the strength of the scene hung on 'it. As I talked my lines- I - hunted the stage with eager eyes, but no rose was there, and the only pos sible something in its plac was the celery on the dinner table of the set ting. "Any port in a storm. I moved ov er to the table. I twisted the celery tops nto a tight bunch and I began the words: 'Take this flower, if held and caressed it will fade in an. evening.'

Yon mountain rises from the niffhi With helmet gilded with its light. There high" appears the morning's glow, While black extends the night below. Where prowl the creatures of the dark, Wher still i .heard the. watchdog's bark. The light that tips yon mountain's crest Portends the age of darkness past; That gloomy night shall lose its sway; The world of toil shall have its day. The clouds that clothe the mountain' side Begin to fall apart, divide; The day shall follow break of dawn And labor come unto its own. Shall peace not usher in the day; On cloud and crag shall lightning play; Shall thunder's voice the vale awake And wild the storm m fury break. Shall rather reason's ray serene With soft effulgence light the scene, A world where love and labor reign. With peace on earth, good will to man. Charles E. Milroy. The Caneless Writer.

How It ortn Happen From Coffee; "I had no idea." writes a Dulutji roan, "that it was the coffee I had been drinking all my life that was responsi ble for the headaches which were growing upon me, for the dyspepsia that no medicines would relieve, and for the acute nervousness which un fitted me not only for work but also for the most ordinary social functions. "But. at last the truth dawned upon me, I forthwith bade the harmful bev erage a prompt farewell, ordered in some Postum and began to use it. The good effects of the new food drink were apparent within a very few days. My headaches grew less frequent, and de creased in violence, my stomach grew strong and able to digest my food with out distress of "any kind, my nervous ness has gone and I am able to enjoy life with my neighbors and sleep sound ly o'nights. My physical strength and nerve power have increased so much that I can do double the work I used to do, and I feel no undue fatigue af terwards. "This improvement set in just as goon as the old coffee poison had so worked out of my system as to allow the food elements in the Postum to get a hold to build me up again. I cheer fully testify that it was Postum and -Postum alone that did all this, for when I began to drink it I 'threw physic to the dogs.'" Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich: There's a reason. Read the famous little book, "The Road to WiUvUle," in Y SOUTHERN FARM d 1 TOPICS OF INTEREST TO THE PLANTER, Xakin; Care of Old C'iliaj"s. In no part of his work is the general farmer more neglectful of his interests than' in leaving the orchards uucared for. The following remarks on taking care of old orchards from Professor C. A. KefXer are timely. One of the surest means of stimulat ing bid and neglected trees is by prun ing. There are many trees in which the number of dead and dying limbs equals the number of living ones every one endeavoring to. prune itself. Natural pruning is a slow process at best, for the useless branch must first be killed by the competition with its fellows for light and food, and then must be pinched off by the slow growth of new wood around its base. And during the years that are occupied thus insects and diseases find the weaken ing member very vulnerable, gaining here a foothold against the healthy parts of the trco. The removal of a branch by saw or pruning knife is the work of a moment, and prevents a irreat waste of energy. It is true that a wise forethought would have anticipated the necessity of cutting out large branches by the annual re moval of such as were evidently mak ing the crown too thick. The several branches which form the crown of a fruit tree are competitors for light and room, just the many trees that nxike a forest. In the forest the trees which for any reason have an advantage over their fellows, as by more rapid growth or greater vigor or shade endurance, will ultimately gain the ascendancy over the others and shade them?, to death. So in the fruit tree, certain branches having the advantage of po sition or strength, overcome others Neglect a tree a few years, and the shaded limbs will be dead, and the lower branches of the living limbs will be greatly weakened. For light is the energy by which the crown of the tree is developed. Obscure the light, and the leaves can do no work so their supporting branches die. Com pare the size and color of apple leaves of the lower and inner branches with those of the upper and outer branches Vigor is largely a question of light supply. Such observations suggest the proper method of pruning neglected trees. First of all, cut out a portion of the crown so that light may be freely ad mitted. Naturally the branches re moved will .be the weaker ones, or those which' by rubbing or by weak union with 1 the supporting member threaten the vigor of the tree. In de termining what limbs to prune out one must keep in mind the symmetry of the crown; and as a usual thing it is better to remove, many small branches than a few lare ones, for the latter practice not only mars the symmetry of the tree, but admits the light in great masses, threatening sun scald of the main limbs. Hoga For Profit. Carl G.. Fisher, writing for the South ern Ruralijst, has the following to say of the hog as a money maker: Every farmer, "no matter how small, should keep one or two brood sows and raise his own meat. A hog requires some attention and care, if we expect to handle them for profit. So does ev erything else. I know of a farmer who for thirty years rented a five-acre patch and had one brood sow, and from her raised his meat and had a few to sell every yearj She cost him practic ally nothing, trite kitchen slops and the leavings from the table nearly kept them. The addition of corn at the fattening period was all that was re quired. To-day I he owns 6000 or 7000 acres of the b?st land in Ohio, and raises annually jthirty to forty carloads of hogs. He sajps he owes his success to the hog business. Not long since, when buying another farm, he was asked what he I wanted another farm for, and replied, "To raise more corn to fatten more hogs; . to get more money; to buy more land: to raise more corn, etc." There are many things on the farm that would go to waste, and would be practically useless, were it not for hogs. In gathering all crops and fruits, there is more or less waste that can only be checked by using hogs as scavengers or gleaners. And there is another import ant thing to consider, and that is the increased fertility they add to the soil. Stockmen and farmers clain twenty five to 100 per cent, more profit by feed ing their grain into hogs than to market price, besides keeping everything on the farm. Now, my dear reader, there are sev eral things to consider and look after to make a success with hogs. I will mention the most important: 1. See that they have plenty of pure water at all times; salt and ashes at least twice a week. 2. Don't keep more than you can properly care for. But what you keep, let them be good ones. '3. Keep them free from lice. 4. Feed reguiprly. Reflections of a Bachelor. A woman can always see a joke if it isn't one. - A fine way not to understand a wo man is to maiTy her. All that some people have to do to make stocks go down is to buy them. A woman is nearly always sure that a cup of nice, hot coffee will help her huhband's business when it is bad. MOTES. STOCKMAN AND TRUCK GROWER. 5. Never let a pig stop growing, from he day of birth until it is slaughtered.. When growth stops, profit stops. 6. Never keep over seventy-five in bunch. Keep the different sizes and ages together. 7. The pure bred, or registered hog, stands first as a feeder, a breeder and a money-maker. I keep nothing but blooded stock, and then I know I am getting all out of my feed and pasture that it is possible to obtain. Sheep. On the .average farm it is probable that hogs are the best paying animals, but in some respect sheep are prefer able. On this subject the Planters' Journal says: On upland farms that are too much worn or depleted of humus to produce staple crops in paying quantities, if fenced for sheep and converted-into a pasture for them, will yield a greater net return than if cultivated, and at the same time become more fertile, for it is a true saying that the foot of the sheep fertilizes the land. While im proving the soil, they also improve the herbage of the pasture by exterminat ing the weeds. It is claimed for sheep that they make larger relative gains for food con sumed than any other kind of live stock. Another claim set down for them is that the annual clip of wool will pay for the expense of keep. Per haps this is a little overdrawn, except under very auspicious circumstances, which can , only be brought about by more judicious management than us ually obtains on farms where mixed husbandry is the practice. They require less attention during winter in the matter of housing and feeding, but they should be looked after pretty closely at lambing time, as some mothers ignore their young at first, and require to be penned with their lambs for a few days in order to .get them to recognize the obligations of motherhood. The objection to allowing sheep and meat cattle to run in the same pasture can only apply to restricted areas, where the stock is unduly crowded. One of the most decided advantages in raising sheep is that it requires less manual labor, the most expensive fea ture of farming, that cultivated crops, but this is applicable to live stock generally, but to sheep in a more eminent degree. An important, if not the most im portant, essential for profitable sheep husbandry is the proper selection of breed for the desired end and the use of pure bred rams. "' Age of Profitable Feeding Steer. It requires about due-half as much grain to produce a hundred pounds of gain on calves as on two-year-olds. F. B. Mumford, professor of animal hus bandry, University of Missouri, says: The work of this college has definite ly demonstrated that the most profita ble age to fatten cattle is while they are still young. The older the animal the more food is required to produce a given gain. Other stations have also investigated this question, and have ar rived at the same result. The Central Experiment Station Farm at Ottawa, Canada, found by comparing 1000 pounds live weight in the case of calves, yearlings, two and three-year-olds, that the profit for each 1000 pounds was: Calves, $31; year lings. S27; two-year-olds, $10.10; three year-oids. $12.50. When all of the cattle of all ages were purchased at four cents a pound and sold fat at five cents a pound, the profit on $1000 invested in feeding cat tie was: Calves, $557.50; yearlings, $284; two-year-olds, $187.75; three-year olds, $177.50. Nine-tenths of all the cattle fed in the Middle West are two-year-olds at the beginning of the feeding period When these cattle are in thin condi tion at the beginning of the expert ment. they are often fed with profit. but starting with calves in the same condition it is unquestionably true that the calves return more profit for each ! $1000 invested than the older cattle. Sore Head Our readers are still writing us for information about sore head, which appears to be distinctively a disease of the Southern States. We have had several letters giving iemedies, but few, :f any of them, strike at the foundation and give rem edies that will prevent it. The disease is strictly a blood afflic tion, and must be treated constitu tionally, though local application of c6al tar, kerosene and similar products will give relisf to those already af flicted. Iron, sulphur, etc.. will purify the blood and prevent the first attacks. .A few drops of tincture of iron should be put daily in the drinking water, and you will never see a case of sore head.

In these days, when economy of time and space are of the highest im portance, it seems to me that some of the conventionalities of correspond ence might well be abolished. Why should we write "Dear sir," and then make a pause and begin a fresh line? Why could not all we have to say flow straight on in the same line from "Dear sir?" Again, why should We take three lines and this, perhaps, is more im portantover the conclusion of our letters? It strikes me that it would be infinitely simpler and more con venient if you concluded a letter thus: "I am, dear sir, your obedient serv ant, Ed'ard Cuttle," all in one line.

Coffee Booking been but few cases of its kind be fore, and they have been caused by whisky or tobacco. Leach has never used either, but has been a great cof fee drinker, and the specialists have decided that the oase has been caused by this. Leach stated himself that for several years he had drank three cups of coffee for breakfast, two at noon and one at night According to the records of the specialists of this coun try this is the first case ever caused by the use of coffee. The nerve is ruined beyond aid and his caso fa incurable- The fact that makes the case a queer one is that the sight forward has been lost and the side sight has been retained. Accord-!
