TIMELY FARM NOTES.

The earlier in life that weed is killed
the better. They rob the soil of mois-
ture and plant food.
A good yield and quality usually pays
good profit over the cost of produce
ton even with low prices.
Good drainage and thorough cultiva-
ton will counterfeit both the effects
of drought and excessive rainfall.
In sowing sweet corn, field corn or
any of the sorghums as forage crop,
the better plan is to sow in drills.
Late seeding often lacks moisture,
starts slow, becomes a prey to insects,
and consequently is Improbable.
The farmer cannot make his farm a
success without keeping accounts; he
must know what pays and what does
not.
In nearly all cases with the spring
crops the early planting should be shall
low and the later planting deeper In or
der to secure the best termination.
One advantage with clover is that we
may take off the crop and leave the
land richer than before, as the roots
restore more than the tops take away.
Growing a variety of crops in intelli-
gent rotation. divides the labor of the
year, gives regular employment and
reduces the number of teams necessary
to be kept.-Farmers' Review.

MISSION OF "DoN oUIxorE. ("
to RidicuIe Absurd Stories
Of Chivalry.

The object of Ceramics in writing
Don Quixote" was, as he himself de-
clared, to render abhorred of men the
false and absurd stories contained in
the books of chivalry. The fanaticism
caused by these romances was so great
in Spain during the sixteenth century
that the burning of all extant copies
was earnestly requested by the cortes
Tor Legislature of the realm). To de-
stoy passion that had taken such
deep root among all classes, TO break
up the only reading which at that time
was fashionable and popular, was a
bold undertaking, yet one in which
Ceramics succeeded.
No books of chivalry were written
after the appearance of don Quixote, "
and from that time those in existence
have been steadily disappearing, until
now they are among the rarest Of lit
erary curiosfties. This romance, which
Ceramics threw so carelessly from his
pen, and which he only regarded as
an effort to break up the absurd fan
cies about chivalry, has now therefore
become the oldest specimen of romantic
fiction and one of the most remarkable
monuments to genius.
Ten years after its appearance its
author published the second part Of
"Don ouixote." which is even better
than the first. 1t was written in his
old age, when in prison. and finished
when he felt the hand of death press
ing cold and heavy upon him.-London
