SOUTHERN AGRICULTURE. WHEN THE HENS LAY. Our family is extravagant, And always want to buy 'ivery pesky thing they see, Though the price be low or high; Eut money's gettin' awful skerso, 'Tis skerser every (lay, And Pa says we can't do much Till the hens begin to lay. .)fa wants a bran' new range. And a kitchen cabinet, too; Pa says we can't afford 'em, And Ma is in a stew; She frets and scolds about 'em Most all the live long day, And says she'll surely have 'em, too, When the hens begin to lay. Pa wants a new spring wagon And a first-class set o' gears; a; says he can't afford 'em Unless he sells the steers; Va can't afford to sell 'em, But then he needs the pay, it y. day Pa said he wouldn't see him It Just gave him the blues But Ma set aa-dignified, When he asked our monthly bay And told him he could have it When the hens began to lay. Twentieth Century Farmer. NATURE'S GREAT BANK. 'The Land In the Storehouse That S. ntic banks. banks and k failures, VUL WIe OanSj or the world was estab Jished on the morning of creation, and from that day to this It has paid royal 4dividends, and has not for a single day suspended or closed its doors. The Creator of all things founded it on a Rock of Ages, created a bureau of deposits, called nature, which has made daily deposits from the first day till now. These deposits exceed in yalue all the precious metals ever mined, or the unmined riches of Colo rado, California, Alaska and South America, with diamond mines of South Africa thrown in. The soil of the world constitutes this bank of the world. By the op. erations of nature the products of the soil are returned to It annually, thus increasing the original deposit of soil fertility. Nature wnrtr " a non Neither is this wealth ioarded nor made available, but is distributed over the wide surface of the world and pennies or dimes or Wollars are on deposit in every square s'od of land and so near the surface 1that any man of brains and ener*gy to use the plow, the spades and the *100 can find them. ;The fertility of the soil is the farm. 'er's greatest and most dependable :bank account, which by a wise and udicious management he should nev er allow to grow less. No matter how large a deposit a man may fLave in' ,bank, if he draws on it continually aend makes not adequate deposits, his account in time will be exhausted and lila Checks returned, dishonored by the words, "no funds." So of his soel deposit,, no matter how large, If he draws on it continually, but adds no depogit in return, its fertility will be 4hausted and his labor dishonored, U004sus there are "no funds." E~very 4tvop th~e farmer produces draws upon *iq' soIl for just so much nitrogen, eI)tdsh and phosphoric acid and the didnished fertility of the soil is equal *$ he awottt of those substances wrodto' produc, the particular ulamount of these must to ther Soil to maintain ~'Tis not be done by Ia! ferttil! ra alone.

No friez4ship will last that has not, candor for its corner stone. Friendship, like love, is one of the few things in life that money can't buy. No one ever gained a friend by tell ing of the affairs of those who have been their friends. First of all, it is necessary that you learn your friends' peculiarities and that you respect them. Small -deceits, petty lies, will make enemies of friends and will cause more than just the two concerned to be unhappy. Sometimes for reasons they beat un derstand two friends separate to see nothing more of each other. Then comes the trial. If ever you were a friend you will be able to keep quiet as to the weak nesses of your old friends, to remem ber that confidences given you when you were close together are to be re spected more than ever now. Next never permit yourself to speak or listen to any disagreeable words about them. If you are in doubt as to some speeches they have made, or some action of theirs go to them and ask them what they mean. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. There's always room for several more-at the bottom.
