WHY HE DID NOT "PoP."

Predicament of a Swain With but
$3.50 in His Pocket.
Did you hear the latest on G. A.
Keith Of Salisbury?' asked Lenox Nor
gan as he was cracking jokes with a
party of bosom friends at the Laclede,
says the st. Louis Republican.
mo; what is it?" they asked sinful
taneous1y.
"I'n tell you if you promise not to
give it away.
Mr.. Keith has a sweetheart in this
city upon whose very smile he fingers,
and the words that fell from her lips
were treasured in his mind with the
same tenacity with which q miser
boards his gold.
"Of late his dreams have been troub-
led with spectral phantoms in which
he sees hissdarling torn from his arms
by the other fellow, who glided with
with his beautiful burden to safe re-
his eyes upon the charming beauty.
1.-THE young lady made an engage
ment to visit friends in a suburban vii
lage and asked her lover if he would
see her to the depot This meant a
carriage ride at his expense. Certainly
he would with the greatest pleasure,
and, stepping into the nearest drug
store, he telephoned to a hackman to
send a carriage to - street that even
ing at $50 sharp. He also ascertained
that the rate charged was to be $3.50
for one-way fare. He intended to dis
miss the carriage at the depot.
when the young man arrived at the
young lady's residence in the evening,
to his dismay two Of his sweetheart's
lady friends were present to see her off,
OF course this was not relished by
Keith, but he hoped to part company
with the crowd when the carriage was
announced. At the appointed time the
carriage appeared, and his girl insisted
that the young ladies should accompany
them to the depot. They at first de-
clined, but afterward assented.
ITO say that Keith was mad would
be using mild term, because his mind
was fully made up to propose in true
romantic style as the steel-clad hoofs
OF the mettlesOme steeds rang merrily
IN the cleaning Not only this, but he
had just $3.50 in his pocket and there
was an extra fare to pay for the re-
turn trip. The party entered the car
rage, but Keith was in no mood for
cheerful conversation. He forgot his
love in cogitations of how he could
settle with the driver. Happy thought!
He could put up his watch for $3.50
until he reached the hotel The plan
worked perfectly; but until the lady
reads this story she will never know
that her invitation to those young
ladies prevented proposal last Sun
day evening, nor to what desperate
straits her lover had been pushed

Successful Farmers.

We should ask what qualities do
hese men who are successful farmers
possess that have made them so? Are
they not men Of great energy, wide
awake, and alert, men who always
keep abreast Of the times? Are they
not men Of an unflinching deterlnina-
tone who tralnple upon difficulties, and
Who ever pass onward and upward:
Arc they not frugal and sober? Do
they not read and think? Do they not
love their calling? I am acquainted
with a farmer who about eight years
ago bought a farm. He had nothing
to begin with but energy, character
and ability, and to-day he is almost out
Of debt. His money is all made from
his farm products, and he even sells
corn, oats and Lay, crops which take
off much plant food, but this plant food
Is always returning by copious nlanur-
Ing. He follows general farming, but
1t is Intensive farming. He does no
more than he can do we'll. And right
here is where SO mary farmers make
mistake. They undertake entirely
too much.
A good farmer once wrote that he
never plowed more ground than he
could completely cover with manure
That is good plan. I can ina CINE that
that farmer was successful. BY plOW-
Ing no more than what can be COM
pletely covered with manure, one is
not likely to plow more than what
can be. thoroughly TILED An able
writer on agriculture wrote some time
ago that prodigy seed, prodigy fertiliz-
Ing and prodigy ti]lage will bring prod
ICY results. Now, it seems to me that
any farmer who has reasonably good
land can attain astonishingly good re-
suits by using the best seed. by copious
fertilizing and by thorough tillage. All
that is needed is enterprise, constant
planning and push. The trouble with
@ great many farmers is, they are
satisfied too soon. When they raise
a crop that is slightly above the aver
age, or somewhat better than that
Of their neighbors, they think they
are doing well enough. This should
not be. They should strive each year
to surpass the work of the year before.
They should set before themselves a
high ide ri and then strive to their utter
nest to attain it. 1 spurn the desire
of maintaining fertility. That desire
should find no Judgment in any progress
sive farmers mind. Increasing the
fertility should be the aim.-PracticaI

Save Mnnures by Mixing With Alb

ter-Wheat for Horses-Wool-Eat-

It is not necessary for Experimental
stations to tell us that manures, kept
continually exposed to, rain and sun,
must lose their essential elements, and
that, too, very rapidly. We see very.
often streams Of dark, black liquid
issuing from fertilizer heaps, and per-
haps running down some slope into
pond or brook, where the crops are not
liable to receive much benefit from
them. Why are these leaks permitted
and how remedied are the questions.
The first is hard to answer, but the
second is of no very difficult solution.
Mix manure literally with absorbents,
and keep under cover. Many old-fash-
toned barns contain no cellars for stor-
age Of manure; and, for that matter,
there are very poten; objections to put

poisonous gases will continually arise
to befoul the air above. Why not build
a cheap '1ean-to" against the barn to
cover the manure which is cast out?
This may be made very rough and in
expensive and provided only with a
roof (sides would be better). The idea
Of course is to prevent the water from
caves and sky from teaching through
the manure and removing the best and
most available portions Bed the stock
well with straw and absorbents sufi-
Gent to retain all the liquid, says a
writer in Practical Farmer. Land plas-
ter is excellent to fix the ammonia, that
gas which is SO easily lost; and coal
ashes, as they come perfectly dry from
the stove or furnace, are good for the
same purpose. 1t is well known that
the ground beneath a manure pile be-
comes saturated with fertility; so it is
wise to remove this soil to a depth of
six to ten inches, cart it away and re-
place with quantity of new, dry soil,
which il turn should also be drawn out
and spread on a field or meadow The
matter of saving manure can not be
looked into too closely. 1t is folly to
depend on commercial fertilizers when
much of our own manure goes to
waste.

Some men seem to pride themselves
upon the fact that they are practical
farmers, and know nothing about agri-
culture except that which they have
learned by hard knocks. But this is
hardly as much credit to them as they
seem to think, because the very best
farmers in these latter days arc the
ones who combine theory with practice.
Some Of our friends of the press make
a mistake when they take the position
that good roads are Of importance only
to the farmers, and that in consequence
the whole expense Of building and
maintenance should be borne by them.
They are Of value to the entire COM
munity, and the expense should be
shared by oil classes. ..>~ T. L
During the winter, when there is not
so very much that one; can do in the
way of practical work, is a good time
to acquire the theory Of agriculture.
Get it from books and from your farm
papers, and have 1t at your fingers ends
SO that you can verify it by practice as
soon as you get into the field next
spring. s.
Wheat has gone abroad in fairly lib
eral quantities. This ought to make
better prices, and will il it continues
long enough. Any way, it brings 4 good
deal OF money into the country, and
this will help to make times better
The panic is over, at any rate. and
farmers can plant with the assurance
that business will continue next year.
