the load is placed. Lever and axle
must be held together by a pin and link.

THE POPULAR MAN.

Why He Is Never Failing Winner In the
struggles Of Life.
The man who succeeds is the popular
mantle person who has hosts of ac-
quaintances, and who does not hest tate
to ask favor, any more than he does to
do one. He cnltivates his acquaintances
and blossoms out before each one. He
is always glad to see them. and always
has smile and a pleasant word. Be-
yond certain point he is intimate with
none, knowing that q man with strong
friendship is sure to have some decided
enemies. and an enmitya often is most
inconvenient The popular man knows
all the prominent members OF the club;
but he never neglects those who fill the
ranks Of mediocracy. He is especially
thoughtful OF his elders. Every thing
that comes to his mill is grist
There is nothing hypocritical in all
this. The popular man is what he
seems TO be. He wishes we'll to every
one, himself included, and he would do
no one an i'll turn. He wishes no one to
do him harm. His desire is to make
things pleasant to others that others
may make things pleasant unto him.
He does not neglect the harder work OF
life. II he,is in a profession, he studies
diligently for some hours each day,
when there is no opportunity to cult
vote the social part Of his nature. or to
rcnler his relations with others more
friendly. II he is in trade, he does not
neglect tofearn his BUSINESS thoroughly
from the bottom up. What he does he
does we'll, no matter how small 1t is.
Such a man Is sure to com mand sue
cess. He Is thorough and can be de-
dended upon In purely business rela-
tions, and in his social life he charms
and attracts his acquaintances, so that
evory one wants to help him. IL he is

rooster worked his way around to where
the looking-glass stood. The boy had
cunningly placed trail Of corn across
the kitchen which ended just in front OF
the looking-glass.
The rooster was following this trail
when It's eye caught the reflection Of a
big bony Shanghai in The glass. The
rooster stopped and gazed at his adver.
sary. The feathers on his neck arose In
hostility. MThe Shanghai elevated him
self on bis toes and crowed defiance.
Then, with lowered head, he approached
the mirror and looked into his own eyes,
glazing defiance from the quicksilver.
With lightning rapidity the right foot
the face Of the mirror Then came =
cross-counter with the left foot The
toe touched the face Of the mirror with
out injuring it. By this time the anger
Of the rooster was fairly aroused. The
bird was in the air half the time, and
the strokes across the mirror face few
faster and faster, until after three min
utes the rooster began to tire and APP
parently to become filed with strange
wonder that he had not been hit by the
bird which SO daringly confronted him.
In his perplexity the Shanghai even
stepped aside and looked behind the
mirror to find his enemy. Notuntil the
Shanghai was completely exhausted did
little Mike release and turn him into
the yard again. Then, as he united the
goat, he said:
Now, Billy, this is what want you
to de- Jest to shtapd on yer hind legs
and make believe buck at yer pictur in
the frame. But mind ye, don't break
it, or I'll break yer head wild the spade"
The goat listened gravely and walked
toward the mirror. He saw gray
bearded, ugly-looking Billy approach
ing him, and he quickened his pace. He
backed up few feet to got good head
way. and started for the mirror on
run. Little Mike realized what he had
done and made rush to grab the Billy
around tho neck. But it was too late.
There was a rush of horns, hide and
hoofs through the air, an awful crash of
glass, and the goats head was thrust
through the back Of the mirror, and he
was tearing out of the kitchen with the
frame around his neck. As he ran he
uttered plaintive "M-a-a-a-sp which

THE FARMING WORLD.


Bems Experiments via QS0nerc1n1 Ker-
tl1tzsx-
II would appear from experiments u
the Ohio Agricultural Experiments Sta
ton that the use Of commercial fertil-
izers was not : yory paying investment
for Ohio farmers- Manufacturers Of
such fertilizers havs been doing thfiv-
ing business III this State for the past
decade st least II Is estimated that
not less than million Of dollars Is an
|nually expended By the farmers Of
Ohio for commercial fertilizers, and ac-
sording to the chemical analyses Of
such fertilizers, over fifty. per cent Of
them possess no fertilizing value what
ever.
From developments At tho agricult-
ural station 1t is plain to be seen why
Ohio farmers have not grown rich from
the use Of such fertilizers, for in all
cases where they have made tests with
corn. oats and wheat. their testimony
has been that the increase in the crop
was not sufficient to justify the use of
commercial fertilizers, or in other
words. was not sufficient to make up the
difference in expense In the case Of
wheat the following is the testimony
verbatim:
'srhe result Of six years work Is that
vested from the plats treated with COM
mercial fertilizers than from those re-
ceiving no fertilizers, whereas the ma
nures of the farm have produced .
marked increase Of crop when judicious-
" used. And again: The most Inn
portant conclusion to be drawn from
these tests is, however, that in very
many, II not the majority OF cases,
neither wheat nor corn will return suf-
ficient increase OF crop to cover the cost
Of any artificial fertilizer at present
prices Of grain respectively"
This is certainly discouraging, and
shows why the average farmer Of this
State has been able TO receive SO little
return for his labor for the past decade
Of years, or more From these develop
ments at the experiment station the
Ohio farmer must conclude that IL he
would make his business a success he
must resort to other than commercial
fertilizers as means OF recuperating
his worn-out soils. So far nothing
seems to answer every purpose better
than barnyard manure. This means
the keeping OF more stock and the feed
ing out Of nearly all the feed substance
raised on the farm. 1t means careful
boarding of all the refuse of the stables
and the barnyard. 1t means resort to
SANS" ensilage and T. B. Terry's

claim to the gift Of prophecy, butitdoes
