A TAVORITE POEM: “THE MAN WITH THE HOE.
Bowed by the weight of centuries, fcc leans
Upon liis hoe and gazes on tlie ground,
The emptiness of ages in his face,
And on his back the burden of the world.
Who made him dead to rupture and despair,
A thing that grieves not and that never hopes,
Stolid and stunned, a brother to the ox?
Who loosened and let down this brutal jaw J
Whose was the hand that slanted back this brow .’
Whose breath blew out the light within this brain?
Is this the Thing the Lord God made and gave
To have dominion over sea and land; ~..
No trace an dstars and search the heavens for power;
To feel the passion of Eternity?
Is this the Dream He dreamed who shaped the suns
And pillared the blue firmament with light?
Down all the stretch of hell to its last gulf
There is no shape more terrible that this —
More tongued with censure of the world’s blind greed—
More tilled with signs and portents of the soul —
More fraught with menace to the universe.
Wliat gulfs between him and the seraphim! ;
Slave of the wheel of labor; what to him
Are Plato and the swiug of Pleiades*
What the long reaches of the peaks of song,
The rift of dawn, the reddening of the rose?
Through this dread shape the suffering ages look;
Time’s tragedy is inthat aching stoop;
Through this dread shape humanity, betrayed,
Plundered, profaned and disinherited.
Cries protest to the Judges of the World—
A protest that is also prophecy.
0 masters, lords and rulers in all lands,
Is this the handiwork you give to God,
This monstrous thing distorted and soul-quenched?
How will you ever straighten up this shape;
Touch it again with immortality,
Give back the upward looking and the light;
Rebuild in it the music and the dream;
Make right the immemorial infamies;
Perfidious wrongs, immedicable woes?
O roasters, lords and rulers in all lands, ,
How will the future reckon with this man?
How answer his brute question in that hour
When whirlwinds of rebellion shake the world? gob’"’
How will it be with kingdoms and with kings—
With those who shaped him to the thing he is—
When this dumb Terror shall reply to God.
After the silence of the centuries?
—Edwin Markham.

FALL FLOWING.
There is a groat deal of heavy
elay land that will be benefited by
fall plowing. Such land should not
be harrowed hut permitted to lie
ill the rough so as to permit the
freezes to penetrate it as deeply
as possible. The freezes will Kill it
great many injurious inset*ls, and
break up the land as no plow can.
In addition to these benefits, the
early winter plowing will very
much relieve the strain and rush
of spring plowing. Land can with
safety be broken deeper in early
winter than il can in the spring.
But tli eplowing should lie done
thoroughly; no skips and misses,
but a straight furrow of even dep
th. It would be well if we could
substitute good plowing for fast
getting through with the job. It
is the good, thorough, deep break
ing that counts. It has been the
writer’s privilege to see plowing
done in almost every section of
the United Stab s, hut I must con
fess that in the. South, as a rule,
we pay less attention to the im
portance of good plowing than
anywhere I have been. Let us im
prove in this'respect so we will
not have to continually be mak
ing apologies for our poor farm
ing.

Sick people do not get much cut of life.
In order to enjoy your meals, to do your
work well, you must be strong and
healthy.
Pale, weak, nervous people frequently
need iron to enrich their blood and to re
store vitality to their system, and a good
way to supply the iron is to follow the
example of Mr. Clayton Wooten, of Scot
land, Ga., who used Ziron iron Tonic and
has this to say about it:
"1 have taken Ziron according to direct
ions aid I can truthfully say tnat it is a
line tonic. It has done me all the good.
Sincel began taking it, I bavegaineefeight
pounds in weight and enjoy eating three
meals a day. 1 shall do all I can to re
commend ziron.”
