Like the fawn that r.iuls the fountain
With the arrow in i: breast
To have found thee but too late !
Why the 221 tor Swore.
With a terrific cold in his head
And eyelids heavy and sore
An editor eat in his broken chair
And bitterly earnestly swore.
A youth had dropped in with a poem
A man was there with a dun.
And a chap had entered to tell him
How the paper ought to be run.
An irate subscriber had told him
His sheet wasn't lit to be read ;
While another had carefully promised
He would punch the editor's head.
The foreman yelled for copy
And the wind whistled in at the door
And this with a few other reasons
Is why the editorswore.
But the angel that took it to heaven
Recorded this verdict there:
'The jury finds in the. present case
'Twas a justiliable Hvrear."

The idea of sowing liberally of
wheat this season is taking hold
upon the best of our people. A lit-
'on of the cost labor etc.
co make this crop and
the value to tho country or to in-
dividuals of raising our Hour at
home will certainly convince any-
one of the propriety and even the
necessity of raising this cereal for
' our Prosperity. Wheat ought to
' be 80wn on ctton and corn land.

would be more subject to rm;t and

that mills will be provided in time
to manufacture the coming crop
if it is seen that it has been sown
to much extent. If you can do
no more by all means raise
enough for vour family use.
