No Chance for q Habit,

There was once an Irishman who
sought employment as a diver, bring
ing with him his native enthusiasm
and a certain amount of experience.
Although he had never been beneath
the water, he had crossed an ocean of
one variety and swallowed nearly an
ocean of another. But he had the Hi
bernian smile, which is convincing, and
the firm CHANGED to need a new man.
And SO on the following Monday morn
ing Pat hid his smile for the first time
in a diving helmet.
Now the job upon which the crew to
which Pat had attached himself was
working in comparatively shallow w a
ter, and Pat was provided with pick
and told to use it on a ledge in the
manner with which he was already
familiar.
Down he went with his pick and for
about fifteen minutes nothing was
heard form him. Then came strong
determined, deliberate pull on the sig.
nal rope, indicating that Pat had a
very decided wish to come TO the top
The assistants pulled him hastily to the
raft and removed his helmet.

Six things are necessary to success

sixth, judicious advertising. The swine

SUCCESSFUL FARMING.
There Are Some Men Who Bore with Too
Large an Anger.

There Are Some Men Who Bore with Too
Large an Anger.
There are men who can take farm
of several hundred acres, and by close
attention to business make it yield a
profit. So, also, there are men capable
of managing successfully large mercan-
tile operations There have been and
probably will again be great men in
various occupations from commanding
an army and conducting a war to run
ming successfully a stock farm or an
agricultural paper. But such men are
generally scarce, so much so that there
are now those who despair of ever see
ing any of that particular kind. But
the average mortal has as much of the
divine right to life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness as any Of the cx-
traordinary specimens, and to do this
he must not wade out beyond his
depth. For 90 per cent. of farmers,
taken as they come, more comfort,
more contentment and more money
can be made on a small farm than
twice the size. A small farm well titled
and well improved is more to be de-
sired than a vast plantation overgrown
with coclxleburs, tie-vines and mort
cages We read this morning of the
foreclosure of some great Louisi-
ana sugar farms, well improved
and as rich land as ever crow
flew over, at a less price per acre
than good Texas black land rents for
by the year. 1t is fact that but few
of these vast sugar farms are owned
and operated by the same person, and
that they are under perpetual state OF
incumbrance. They have been pur-
chased, mortgaged and foreclosed, and
foreclosed, purchased and mortgaged
again, football for spectators, loan
associations and financial sharks, and
have generally proven improbable and
even hazardous. Few have ever been
able to make them profitable. There
may he enterprise in this process, but
very little calm satisfaction, which Is
better. Those who guide the plows
and harvest the crops, get scant sub
sistence, become disconnected and move
on, while others take their places and
go through the same process; land

Clover and Cow Peas.

In bulletin No "a Of the Missouri ag-
ricultural experiment station full
discussion of the value of clover and
COW peas is given and practical sugges-
tions are made as to the best methods
of securing stand and growing these
crops.
These plants have power not pos
sessed by the other common farm
crops, such as corn, wheat, timothy
and blue grass; that of gathering nitro
gen from the air. 1t is supposed that
with iudicious care anil management
the nitrogen supply in reasonably
good soils may be maintained almost
indefinitely by the proper use of
these crops for green manuring. The
COW pea is recommended for very
poor soils in all sections of the
state. Last season the station Sc
cured a crop of one and half
tons of field-cured cow-pea hay per
acre, seeding on wheat stubble with
out blowing, after the wheat had been
harvested July 1. The peas were re-
moved, and the land again sown in
wheat without being broken, Septem-
Der 20. In other words the crop OF
cow-peas was grown on the land dur
ing the season which in ordinary prac-
tice it would have remained entirely
idle. 1t is generally believed by the
farmers that green manure crops should
be turned under when very green in
order to produce valuable manure, and
that If allowed to mature, or become
dry, much of the valuable fertilizing
material will be lost. This is entirely
incorrect. A larger yield will be OBJ
tanned by allowing the crops to become
mature. Experiments show that Glow
err, when plowed under in the blossom
had little more than one-third as much
fertilizing value as when matured.
