Although the great Arago calculated
that there was but one chance out of
PSI 100000 that the earth could be
struck by comet, and although scien-
tific men think the collision would be
as bad for the comet as for Steven
sons Goo" a Vienna professor is
thoroughly convinced that on the 18th
of November, 1899, this mundane
sphere is to draw the one chance in
the celestial lottery, and it only re-
mains for him now to figure out. wheth-
err our planet is to be reduced by the
shock to impalpable dust or form other
comets and wreck other worlds, OF
whether the mortal race is to be ter.
minated by asphyxiation. Both alter.
natives have their disadvantages, but

fully acquainted with the exact details
of its coming demise.

If the garden is thoroughly under
drained, as it always ought to be, it
should be fall plowed in ridges and
the surface left rough, so as to eX-
pose from freezing. This is more nee
essary because the garden is always
a sheltered spot, where the snow lies
much of the winter, so there are few
times when the ground freezes very
deeply. The garden is always the
richest spot on the farm 1t is often
what Scotch farmers call much mid
den" or heavy with manure. 1t needs
the winters freezing to tighten the
soil and make its fertility available.

1t was long ago the discovery of
English farmers that bone manure, as
they called lime phosphate, was good
for turnip crops. This was often fed
on the land where grown, and the
field thus fortified with sheep drop

or other grain. Usually sheep give n
