DIAGONAL NARROWING.
The Proper Way of Treating square
Field After Flowing.

The Proper way OF Treating a square
Field After Flowing.
When a nearly square field is to be
narrowed after it is entirely plowed,
the work may be efficiently done by
diagonal narrowing (See ilustration).
This is specially adapted to working up
sod or any ground that it is necessary
to drag crosswise of the furrow. Enough
time and labor arc lost in turning
around to amount to a good deal in
days narrowing. If we begin on the
diagram at q, working parallel to I'd
and letting the heavy lines represent
the path of the harrow it is evident
that at least fourteen turns will be nee
essary in going once over the ground,
or twenty-eight in twice over; also that
after the line bd is passed, we come to
the fence at an acute angle, making it
necessary to turn before driving to the
fence, or else to make almost the com
plete circuit Of three hundred and sixty
degrees and turn to the right, or back
upon the narrowed ground. With the
above method the harrow is started at

CONSCIENCE FUND.

An interesting feature In the U. 8.
Treasury is the conscience Fund" which
was opened by the register to show from
time to time the receipts Of moneys by the
the government from unknown persons.
These moneys are covered into the gen.
eral treasury as miscellaneous receipts
and may be used like other assets Of the
government for any purpose that Congress
may deem proper. The account was
opened in 1911 and up to last April there
had been received an aggregate amount Of
s266 6,os9.56. Remittances are received al-
most weekly, and, as rule, the letters are
not signed. Frequently they are for
warded by clergymen at the request of
penitents. Nearly all the communica-
tions are anonymous and acknowledge
ments are therefore usually made through
the press.

The Behring Sea arbitrstors haye fin-
ished their labors. While the decision
knocks out the case OF the United States
set up by the Republican Senate, some
good has been accomplished by the estab-
lishment OF three months close season,
the establishment Of protected zone and
the prohibition OF the use OF firearms or
explosives when hunting or fishing for
fur seals. The matter In relation to seized
vessels was not made public with the rest
OF the decision.

Hooks Do Not Make Men.

Masses of accurate knowledge existed In
the world before books began-witness the
older triumphs and architecture and hy-
draulics-and much of it was handed on
from generation TO generation, as the So
crets of farming and cattle breeding are
now, without any writing at all. Even
knowledge, therefore, does not belong only
to the men Of books, who, in all depart
ments, rather preserve than create 1t, while
efficiency seems almost To belong to those
who study little.
There are exceptions. Of course. like Mr.
Gladstone, who reads everything, but sway
over mankind has not belonged principally
to readers and has not infrequently be
longed to men who despised books, finding
In themselves and their experience, OF, In q
few cases, In their own genius, better

ARBITRATlON.

The decision In the Behring sea arbitra.
tion case which was given out yesterday
seems to give general satisfaction to all
concerned. 1t is certainly just one and
worthy ofthose who lave been engaged
in the consideration Of the momentous
questions submitted to them. While neith-
er country gained just what was contended
for, vet this country has come off with a
moral victory in the allowing OF the con-
tention that 1t was necessary to stop
pelsgic sealing in order to preserve seal
life.
The lingo policy of the Harrison ad-
ministration was most effectually sat up
on for 1t has been practically wholly
ignored. The rules laid down by the
commission are salutary ones and
should be adopted by both England and
the United States. The government
should be satisfied and gratifed at.the re-
suit. The case has been admirably ham
died and 1t has shown, among other
things, that such grave questions can be
submitted to arbitration and peace main
tanned.
This is the second great arbitration In
which this country and England has been
engaged and it is an example to the world
Surely 1t can be said In the words of the
illustrious bard,
"Peace hath her victories no less renowned
than war;"
1t has shown that the legal ability OF
the country is not deteriorating. Our
counsel have been the equal, IL not supe-
rior, to the most distinguished members
OF the English bar. We are satisfied with
the result as all should be and congratu-
late the government accordingly.

GOOD JOB.

The New York city authorities have de-
cided that hereafter sidewalk fruit ven-
ders must pack up at 10 O'Clock in the
forenoon. They can only sell from sun
rise until that hour. Yesterday the rule
was strictly enforced and the decayed
fruit was confiscated and taken to the
scows and dumped out at sea.
Police and hremen were called on to as.
sist the health department for a short
time and the result was that the streets
which were feared as breeders OF pesti.
lence were made to shine by liberal ap-
plications OF water taken from the city
hydrant. The results were very satisfac-
tory.

CHECKS.

Whatever may be said In favor OF pay
ing employees In the various manufactur-
ing establishments OF the city by checks,
II is not payment In contemplation OF
OF the weekly payment law, and would
not be considered so by the courts. Pay
ment means the passing Of 30 much
money between the creditor and debtor.
The giving OF checks means simply put

may be good but unless the check is paid
the debt remains Just the same.

The origin o.: The fan can be traced
to the most remote antiquity. 1T Is
ascribed by some historians to Kan-si
daughter of a Chinese mandarin, and
by others to the >ibyl of Cum@, who is
said to have used a fan during the de-
livery of her oracles. History repeats
itself How many Of our modern sibvls
deliver their olaclcs while gracefully
manipulating iheir fans. But even
long before the days of the sibyl the
fan was commonly used in Egypt as
is evident from It's having been painted
on the walls OF the tombs at Thebes,
