Thousands of our fellow countIymen
and women will doubtless take run
across tho water for brief vacation this
coming summer. It is safe to say ma
jority of them will go for the first time
and that they will be of that class which
combines the best qualities of mankind
the intelligent people who have earned
the money they are going to spend in
Europe. They may be seen by the hun
bred and thousand crisscrossing Europe,
notebooks in hand, and, heaven bless
them! talking through their noses, some
times, alasl very loud.
A word to these, our fellow country
men and women, may not be out of place,
lest the ignorant and untraveled popula-
tons of Europe get exceedingly errone-
GUS ideas Of this Union. Don't talk
loudly and boastfully everywhere about
how superior things in your own coun-
try are to everything in Europe. twill
not go down pleasantly with the foreign
ers, and, besides, it snot the fact. A hun
bred things there are better, finer and
handsomer than any object In the same
line in this country. Keep your mouth
shut and your eyes and ears open. Watch
quietly the usages of the foreign ladies
and gentlemen and fall into their Gus
toms when you are in their country.
Note that foreigners do not expectorate
and do not chew tobacco.
Look at the exquisite pictures, the
marvellous sculpture. Listen to the mu
sic, contemplate the finely finished land
scapes, the lovely parks. and let the
beauty and poetry of it all sink into your
utilitarian American soul You will be
reminded by the behavior Of some Of
your own fellow countrymen that rude
ness is not independence, and coarse,
aggressive manner is not the best way
of showing yourself citizen Of the
greatest nation the sun shines on. For
that very reason you can afford to be
quiet, polite and gentle in manner. Go
abroad to learn, and you will be richly
rewarded. Do not lecture the foreigners
on temperance and prohibition. Doubt
less they need it. but it is not your place
to do it.
Once in awhile you will meet some of
your own fellow countrymen with
sprangly, bushy boards, outlandish gar
ments and the same rusty, long legged
boots they wore when they drove the COWS
to the swamp pasture-on the whole,
looking like grizzly bear. This kind of
Americans will be- so well satisfied with
themselves that you will feel blush
creeping slowly up into your counte-
nance at sight of them. You dodge
them wherever you can, and small
blame to you. You will wish often that
some Americans only had sense enough
to perceive how a well dressed, well bred
foreigner can many time give needed
points to Americans in matters small
and large.

tillage is often cheaper and better than
to buy it. Every time the soil is stirred
fresh elements of fertility are brought

Poultry Manure,

Poultry droppings, like that from other
farm stock, varies in value according to
the kind or amount of food consumed.
and especially in the treatment given to
the droppings. If largely mixed with
litter, ashes, etc, or is very wet, poultry
manure has lost much of its ammonia
and is of less value than where the accu-
mutation has been kept dry and mixed
with just enough dry soil to act as an
absorbent. Greiner says the buyer can
afford to pay 20 to 25 cents per hundred
pounds for well kept poultry manure.
Poultry manure is rich in available nj
trogen and is usually kept separate from
stable manure to apply as a special fer
tilizer to such garden crops as onions,
celery plants, spinach, etc. Mixed with
twice its bulk of dry loan and applied
evenly it will do no harm to seeds or
plants. Greiner prefers to use it as top
dressing in the garden. and this is fa-
vorite plan with many other gardeners

Root Crops.

It has been decided at the Ontario
agricultural college experiment station
that white fleshed turnips give better
yields than the yellow feshed varieties;
the long shaped mangels better than the
globe varieties; the white carrots better
than the yellow varieties. Of the roots
grown on the station plots for two years
the white Swede turnip, the Jersey fall
turnip, the Carriers champion and yellow
intermediate mangel give the highest
yields in their respective classes. OF
those grown for one year only the i'm
perial short white carrot and the white
Silesian sugar beet give the highest yield
