A Funny Fake.

A number of the Popocrat organs
of the peninsula have been printing
double loaded articles to the effect
that big stove works at Newark,
Ohio, had announced that, if Bryan
was elected, they would increase
wages ten per cent. An investiga-
ton shows that this big" stove
works employs six men and is idle
about half the time. The CONNER
cial agencies report the company
unworthy of credit.

A Good Story.

Captain Harris of Cunning Neb, told
the writer a laughnble story the other day,
and, rs the name of the immortal Lincoln
is connected with it, it is worthy of repeti-
ton. In 1919 or 1850 the captain was a
lad of II or ID, living at his parental home
somewhere in Illinois-Christian county,
if | remember rightly. That old houae was
often visited by Lincoln as he journeyed to
and fro attending to legal business, and it
was also much frequented by the preachers
Cane day Lincoln and "A preacher, having
left their horses hitched at a short distance
from the door, were in the house at the
same time. The preacher horse was very
old and miserably poor The other boys,
led on by the captain, who must have been
"a mischievous youth, gathered dozen or
more stout sticks and proppcd up that old
horse. Wherever "A projecting bone gave
opportunity they set prop, and Dobbin
stood stock still, as if he thought some
thing of the kind necessary Then the lads
retired and watched from covert Pres
emily Lincoln and the preacher came down
the walk together, and when Lincoln saw
what the boys had done ne was convulsed
with laughter. Pointing to the horse he
said, mo one but a preacher, supported as
preachers are in this part of the country,
would have thought of keeping up his
horse that way. '-HOusekcepcr.

In districts in Japan where fruits
and vegetables are liable TO suffer from
early spring frosts-or, to speak mete-
orologically, late spring frosts-they
carefully preserve all the prunings of
their trees and make heaps of them in
various outlying portions of the or
chards. When the frost likely to do injury
is imminent, they start one Of these
brush fires in the direction from which
the wind comes They only make fire
enough TO make smoke, as explained

the orchard rather than to keep it out.
Heat rarehes or lightens the atmosphere,
and the cold or heavier air presses for

heat expanded. They depend on the
smoke and not the heat for protection.

The Connecticut station experiments
have demonstrated that the nitrogen in
cottonseed meal and linsced meal is
fully as available as that in dried blood
and more so than IN tauEago. Nitrate
of soda and cottonsoed meal will give
the desired combination OF mineral and
organic nitrogen at least cost.
The more Intelligent farmers seem to
understand this, for immense quantities
of cottonseed meal have been used in
bone mixtures this year The bright
yellow meal should always be used.
The dark, unhulled meal is costly at any
price at which it is now offered. In es-
timating the cost of potash in the same
way it has been found that muriate is
by far the cheapest source, in some
large lots falling below cents pound
in price.

Change of Air.

A very favOritc last resort of the eight
zenith century physician was to send a
patient to visit the place of his birth, since
it was thought that natal air. would he
likely to prove peculiarly beneficial. This
last theory, although somewhat ludicrous
when viewed from our modern standpoint,
strikes me as being something more than
u mere piece Of plausible empiricism. 1t
shows that in spite of their terrible faith
in physic the doctors of those days did not
lose sight of the importance of conforming
to natures programme.
Although the beneficial effect of sea voy-
ages was to some extent recognized, it is
easy to understand that the ships of the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries,
damp and stuffy below and provsioned
with salt junk and hard biscuits, scarcely
gave Il broken down invalid II fair chance
of deriving any great amount of good from
a change of air taken under such condi-
tions.
Generally speaking, we how consider
that sea and mountain air owes it's virtue
to its freedom from organic impurities
Probably it is this quality more than any
other which gives it its reviying effect on
those who have been living in the clogged
and polluted atmosphere of large towns.
Yet purity of the atmosphere per sc is no
preventive of those very ailments which
bring the majority of patients to seaside
watering places and highland sanitariums.
If any invalid who has thus sought relief
were to take careful note of the natives of
his favorite health resort he would proba-
bly, be disquieted to find that pale, sickly
children and ailing adults were by no
means uncommon. Patients with weak
lungs are often sent to winter in Devon
and Cornwall, although the mortality from
pulmonary diseases among the permanent
residents of these favored counties is not IL
whit less than among the jewellers in the
midlands and the north. Yet the undoubt-
ed fact remains TO be accounted for that
such migrants to warmer clmes almost al
ways derive marked benefit from the
change National Review.

Tho American Girl Was Too Much For
Two Insolent Englishmen.


An American girl travelling alone in
compartment car from Ostend to Vienna
was annoyed by two Eng 'ishmcn who be-
gan by staring at her ana ended by max
ing remarks about her in French.
She took no notice Of them, but busted
herself i'm the corner scat near the window,
writing with pencil Tn "a notebook.
Assuming Tat she did not understand
French, they commented upon her beauty,
stylish appearance and innocence and ex-
changed suruisos respecting the extent of
her fathers fortune.
While they We're debating whether 1t
would be worth while for them to flirt
with her she at once rang the bell for II
porter, and, speaking in excellent French,
gave directions for her luncheon, which
she expected to take on the train.
The two men looked at each other in
amazement They had been talking about
her for half an hour on the opposite seat
without suspccting that she understood
their faulty French Then, continuing
their conversation in German, of which
they knew less than they did of French,
they rallied each other upon their misad-
venture and decided that so handsome
girl must have rich father, and that mar
rage with her would be good specula-
ton. This went on until an English tray
elcr from the next compartment came IN
with train official and begged their as
sistance.

The Army Worm.

The army worm has come and gone.
The caterpillars that did so much dam
age are now sheltered under stones,
boards, grass or rubbish along fences

through the pupa stage. In this connec-
ton, Rural New Yorker says "We need
not fear them again this season, but we
may prevent future broods by killing all
we can of this years crop. Wherever it
is possible burn over the grass or grain

Winter Wheat.

1t is mainly as a crop to seed with
that eastern farmers now grow winter
wheat. The price for several years has
been too low for the grain to be grown
with profit. Bat the increased growth
of clover with wheat, as compared with
what it will make with any spring
grain, gives IA compensation that makes
winter wheat still worth growing, for
this purpose if for no other. 1t is a for
tunate fact that the preparation of the
soil which secures the best wheat crop
is hest for the clover also. When years
ago we drilled in $50 to 200 pounds of
phosphate per acre with wheat a very
considerable part of the gain from this
dressing was made i'll the clover catch
and the assurance it afforded that,
despite the alleged exhaustion from
growing wheat, wherever clover and
phosphate went with it the soil lhcreas-
ed rather than decreased in fertility.
If this cannot somehow be done, SAYS
American CultivatOr, authority for the
foregoing, it can never pay to grow
wheat in the east and will not long
continue opay to grow it on the virgin
soils of the west which of late years
have produced wheat at the lowest cost
They have only done this by taking no
account of lost fertility, and this is a
mistake that must ultimately correct
itself.

Our old friend, Mr.. Samuel McCaughey,

the statement of their political mat

ascent of the Matterhorn, all made
