er on 100 acrea can not ordinarily make
manure enough to give it atop dressing
oftener than once in aix or aeven years.
On a 50 or fSo-acre farm it la easy to
make manure to give a dressing
every four or live years. That with
clover seeding as often as any grain
crop ia grown means a yearly increase
in fertility. Hut if the manuring oc
curs only ouce lu aix or seren years the
farm will be all the time growing
poorer, and what the farmer seems to
make as yearly profits will be offset
and more by the gradual wasting
away of hisvapitaL
Herein U the necessity of thorough
fanniup in every respect In order to
make It a success. No source of pront
ir.ufct bo omitted. The old and waste
ful practice of plowing under clover aa
ereen manure was possibly a neces
sitv for the large furiner of olden
times, who coufll not afford
the capital to purchase stock that
would make a profitable use of this
clover by feeding it. The farmer who
would be aucccssful must keep the best
stock. He will bo all the more auo
cepiful if lie has more ot his capital
invested In stock than In land. It Is
comparatively easy to double the value
of his stock. A very few years will do
it. Even if It Is rapidly in'irensiug in
fertility, it takes a long term of years
to doublo the value o( land.
The dcQuieucy of stable manure may
be partly supplemented by using com
mercial fertilizers. But these must al
ways be used as supplements aud not
assnbstitutes. The farmer who grows
grain by the use of mineral ma.
nures, and who noes not Keep
stock to use np and turn Into manure
the coarse fodder and coarse grain pro
duced on his farm, will sooner or later
run himself aground. On the other
band, for the farmer who keeps a good
deal ot stock, and who feeds all the
coarse grain and fodder he grows, the
purchase of mineral fertilizers Is the
wisest policy possible. They enable
hi in to supplement the deficiencies of
the manure that he makes.
This is the only kind of farming that
pays. It is the only really good farm
ing. It necessitates with many farm
ers the selling off of land that they
are unable to make productive,
and putting the capital thus
saved into more labor, more stock
aud more fertilizers, so as to get
larger returns from the fewer acres to
which they will dcrote their attention

The boy on the farm is just about
the same kind of a boy you will find
everywhere. Ho is susceptible to tlie
aame Influences, and, given the same
opportunity, he will accomplish about
the same results as his lellow in tne
town or city. With perhaps this to
his advantage: The farmer boy is
nearer to nature's great heart, and
comes to understand her ways; and
again, the solitude of the farm gives
him opportunity for communion wiin
self as well as with nature, and he is
apt, if he is a thinking boy, to come to a
better understanding wtin uimsen ana
to know his powers and limitations
better than his urban prototype.
Boys everywhere need the stimulus
of self interest, and this is too often

i Kipeaslv and Sluw la Early
Lord Bacon advised the traveler to
'carry 'with him some card or book
describing the country where In
traveled," which would be a good key
to his Inquiry. But the guidebook of
the period was a rather treacherous
friend and was to be relied upon rathei
for sound moral disquisitions than th
practical purposes. A good example li
furnished by Howell's "Instruction!
for Forrelne Travel," printed at thl
"Prince's Armes in Panle's Chnrch.
yard," In the year 1643. The authol
has no love for folk who never leave
the parish in which they were born:
"Such slow and sluggish people may
be said to be like Snailes or Tortoiser
In their shells, crawling always about
their otxn home, or like the Cynique
shut up always in a tub."
The first country we islanders
hould become acquainted with is
France, "and the younger one goeth to
France the better, because of the hard
nesse of accent and the pronunciation,
which will hardly be overcome by one
who has passed his minority, and in
this point the French tongue may be
said to be like Fortune, which, beinga
woman, loves youth best. It might
seem strange to a modern tourist to
gather information from a chat with
some ancient nunue. Xhese ladles,
however, appear to have had no objec
tion to being interviewed. "They
speak a quaint dialect," Howell in
forms ns, "and, besides, they have
most commonly all the Newej that
passe and they will entertain in dis
course till one bee weary if he be
stow on them now and then some
small bagatels as English gloves, or
knives, or ribands." The conversation
with these nuns must' have been car
ried on under certain disadvantages,
as the ladies were behind a grating.
The author allows a period of three
years and four months for a tour in
cluding France, Spain and Italy,
Venice, Germany and tha low coun
tries. The trip was undoubtedly ex
pensive. Fifty pound per annum for
the servant and 300 for the master for
a like period is the author's calcula
tion, in ''vhich he includes "riding,
dancing, fencing, the racket, coach
hire, together with his apparel." The
reader is advised to bring home some
thing "that may accrue to the pnbllque
benefit nnd advantage of his country,

what w ill be the transformation that

Some yeurs ago when 1 was farming
t observed that hundreds of small
branches of the persimmon and the ap
ple and other trees were lying upon the
ground with withered leaves, nnd upon
examination they seemed to have been
cut off as by a tiny turning lathe; the in

What for? Why should not one kind or
ten kinds have answered the Creator's
purposes? Why are millions of flowers
born to blindi unseen on mountain sides
and eliffs nnd in the desert. Humboldt
says there are 800,000 beautiful scales
on a large bfMerfly's wing, and they
can be seen nnd counted w Ith a micro
scope. Why should there be so many ?
Who ever sees them but God and per
hnns the anirels?
But there is no limit to these mys
teries, and no answer to these que'
tiona. And so I will forbear. There
seems to be bigger things before the
nminle now. The paramount question
la gold and Bilver and even the preach-
era have emraeed In tne discussion, ir.
T'nrlihurst and Tom Dixon nnd some
of our southern ministers have entered
the arena and are trying to convert sin
ners, not to repentance, but to gold or
silver according to their views. They
have searched tlie Scriptures to find
something about gold and silver that
thev can torture nd tw ist to tneu-Huie
But there Is only one text thnthas any
bearing upon it and that is one of Solo
mon's proverbs w hieh says -woras nnj
Ktioken aro like apples ot gold in pic
tures of silver." Now let the political
preachers take that for a text and stick
in it: nr. inavlie it would be better for
them to let politics alone and turn their
nttention to the work of the University
of Pennsylvania in the buried city of
pre-historlo Nippur a city that the
professors and scientists oi mat iiihu
iition sav is 3.000 years older than
Adam and they have the proof of it,
Only two years ago one of these same
professors published a long article in
the New York Herald asserting that
the bones of a man exhumed in Florida
were over 10,000 years old. If these
preachers don't watch the university
Will upset all the chronology of the
Bible and make Moses to be a myth or
a fraud, for if there is any one tWng
more carefully stated than another in
the Mosaic account of the creation and
succession, it i the succession from
Adam to Noah and Noah to Abraham.
Science has no respect for sacred his
tory and every few years comes out with
something to upset or contradict it.
Couldn't Parkhurst and Dixon give n
a pulpit utterance on Nippur and let
gold and silver rest with the statesmen
and politicians of the country. As the
Richmond Dispatch well says: ' "We

WATERSPOUT AT LA
Moantata reopt Cannot U mitte
Horn br th Wrath wf the Hlllfc
There came word to us atChillon thai
a waterspout at La ltoche, a few piilcs
mi h. vullev. had destroyed the village
and drowned numbers of the inhab
itants. But the news came by telephone
from a neighboring little town, and
was, fortunately, much exaggerated.
This morning I spent in going met
the wrecked village aud found thut no
one had been killed, or even hurt. Only
few cows and some calves were de
stroyed. If the disaster had come at
night it would have been a dinereni
story, jierhnps a more dreadful one than
that of St. Girvnis.
For La Hoche lies at the loot ot .Mount
Arvel, the great buttress which shim
the lihone valley from view at Mout-
reux, and a stream called hau l rouie
comes out of a tremendous gorge whose
neck is at the very back of the upp.
houses. It natural bed runs sharply
to the left and enters the lake direct.y
at Villencuve; but when tne vast oouy

instantly many feet deep in waier. im

of vine are covered with ten leet oi tie-
posited rock and earth drift, and a beau
tiful old orehnrd is full to the spread of
the trees' branches. As I entered the
town the head man of the commune
came to me and my companion nnd vol
unteered to show ns round. We touna
the poor people digging their furniture
and bedding out of the mud in the lower
floors. One house I entered on my nana
and knees, for the floor was coverwl
three feet deep, and men were shoveling
mud from the bedrooms. But "C'est
rien," said our guide. That w as only
matter of cleaning.
He wanted us to see one road cut sn
feet deep and another filled up, so thai
one could look Into the first floor win
dows. And then the vineR that seemed
the most dreadful to him. lor these
people fight nature so as to get a littl
li.nd on a slojie to tne soum wueir. iu.
vine can readily ripen. And now thou
sands of francs were gone. A million
francs of damage altogether, he enlil,
and though that was a gigantic esti
mate, it soothed him to think of such a
sum. Three more came round us aim
added up sums of money. Yes, it wui
very dreadful; but, after an, it was nut
ao bad as It might have been. Thevine
and the cows, drowned in the staDies,
were the worst. For they all bore their
,ufm-tnne. wonderfully. I saw no
despair even over destroyed mattresses,
which the women folks tried to dry in
the sun. They worked cheerfully, and
seemed glad to hear that we considered
It very dreadful. But then the poorer
men had to work. Everyone was shovel
ing mud or lifting rorks; team after
team went out dragging u priuiiu.u
vehicle loaded to the brim. The com
mune would pay for that, and perhapa
they would get help; who knew? Ana
the volunteer firemen from Yvorne and
Noville and Vouvry and (hessel came
down, and did what they could to make
the houses habitable for the coming
night. Last night had not been con
lortable, they said.
So we took some of them to tne mud
dy restaurant and gave them a drink
of white, wine, nnit iney went oui m
work again, making a digue, or dike,
.n-uinct. fhe possible return df the
heav ier w aters. For over the steep pine
slope of Mount Arvel hung heavy black
clouds still, and no one could say what
might come. We left the whole village
hummiug with their work. Yes, hum
ming like a cloud of bees, which I nnv
seen .leapairing over 14 wrecked hive
by the riven bank of the Kua Froide.
But the men were not despairing, for.
o course, such things often happen in
Switzerland, ana a moumaiu proio
