A An What Sing a Song of Sixpence Means You all know this rhyme, but haye you eyer heard what it really means ? The four-and-twenty blackbirds rep- resent the twenty-four hours. The bot- tom of the pie is the world, while the top crust is the sky that overarches it. The opening of the pie is the day dawn, when the birds begin to sing, and surely such a sight is fit for a king. The king, who is represented sitting in his parlor, counting out his money, is the sun, while the gold pieces that slip through his fingers are the golden sun- beams. The queen who sits in the par- lor, is the moon, and the honey is the moonlight, The industrious maid, who §is in the garden at work before her king--the sun --has arisen is the day dawn, and the clothes she hangs out are the clouds: The bird who ends the song by pipping off her nose is the sunset, So we have the whole day, if not in a nutshell, in a pie.

Cultivates between the plants or hills in the row as well as between the rows. Culti- vates between the plants and kills the weeds when plants or hills are not closer than twelve inches. One man does the whole business when the team is well trained. If not well trained, better have a boy to drive. Best Tool for Cultivating Tobacco Ever Made Six acres is a day’s work in tobacco when the plants are twelve inches apart on the row.
