which it had been floating and buried it
between two crusts.
The midnight banquctcr held forth a

him over till breakfast and went on his
way.
The sausage man is purely a nocturnal
character. No better test could be put
TO young men and women whose hours
the street arc questionable than to ask
them if they have ever seen one of these
bearers OF u huge tin tank, hung about
the neck, who stand motionlcss under

Iiccmcn, providers, fowls" any and all
whose business, good or bad, keeps them
in the streets when most honest people
are in bed, The sausage man rarely APP
pears before II o'clock and they never
solicit customers. lIc stays till far into
the morning and his customers arc
usually "rcgulars.n
"Som2 people ask me why customers
don't go to saloons for sausage" said
one on Walnut street the other
night. "a good many are in too much
of hurry to get home l can hear my
regulars whistle block away and they
find sandwich all ready for them.
Some are temperance men and won't
90 into saloons and others say they get
better sausage of me. "-Phihdelphia

Flowing Under Green Crops.

The subject of blowing under green
crops for the improvement of the land is
one that is worthy of careful considcra-
ton. There are some points of interes
connected with it which do not seem to
be understood very well; one of these Is
that no more is gained by the soil than
is taken from it, and that consequently
the advantage derived from the use of
them is very small, if not illusory. An
other point is that it is not profitable to
grow any crop but clover for this pur.
pose and that only heavy yield of this
is of any benefit to the soil. Now 1t
should not be forgotten that the larger
part Of any green crop-as rye, buck
wheat or clover-is derived wholly from
the atmosphere, and that while it con-
sists mainly carbon, yet that carbon is
as necessary for crops as nitrogen or
mineral substances, as potash aud phos.

phoric acid are. Some, persons think a
crop of rye plowed under is of no value
because rye is not specially rich in plant
food. But if it is notas rich in this re-
spcct as clover is, it affords most use
full and valuable beginning, and paves
tho way for the growth of better crops,
But what Is the farmcrto do whose land
cannot produce anything better than rye
or buckwheat2 lie must do the best he
can, and if he can get no moro than
"half loaf this is better than no bread"
at all.
The advantages of blowing under
green vegetable matter arc that some uscr
full elements of plant food are gained in
addition to those which have been drawn
from the soil by the crop. That all these
are in most available condition and arc
quickly reduced by the r,pid dccompo-
sition of the green matter to n soluble
state. That, by tho help of the small
contributions of carbonic acid and nitro
gen which are drawn fr0n the atmos-
pherc, the addition to the soil made by
the crop powcd in provides materials for
a better crop, and Il, few rcpctitons of
the process will enable the soil to bear
clover or some other more valuable crop.
1t is not case in which the farmer has
much choice; he must do tho best he can
To begin is the great point, and it mat
tcrs little how tho beginning is made.
Farmers who arc DESTROYS of starting on
a course of improvement of their land
and cannot do any better should not hes
itatc to SOW a crop of rye this fall as
early as possible for blowing under next
