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.

Much More Effective Even Than Hand Hoeing
We have a cultivator that we feel sure will be a
great success for cultivating and hoeing corn, pota-
toes and tobacco as our transplanter has been for
setting plants. 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. This
machine is just as valuable to cultivate tobacco, po-
tatoes, cabbage, corn, and fact anything that needs
cultivation,
