The first impulse of man lost in the
woods is TO run. The only safe thing is
to sit right down and reason out the
position.
Sometimes a business man gets up at the
usual hour, breakfasts, kisses his wife and
starts for the Office. He has for some
time seen signs that he was off the trail
of health. To-day the signs multiply.
His brain Is dull and dizzy, his heart
does not beat right, his breathing is diff

scared. He realizes that he's far away
from the trail OF health, and suddenly
like a panther from tree, the thought
leaps on him, " You are a lost man"
The first impulse is to run for help,
though the way is honey-combed with
pitfalls Of quackery, But the rational
man faces the facts, sits down and
thinks over the position and its proba-
bilities.

Rotted SOds for Mnnure.

There are many places in low lands
by the roadside where the wash of the
road has made the soil very rich. Sods
cut from such land and piled in heaps
rot down readily, especially if some
wood ashes are thrown on them to
hasten decomposition. This makes the
best possible top dressing for grass
lands, and will largely increase the
growth where the soil is thin. If phos-
phate is added this compost becomes a
complete manure for any kind of crop.
The practice of rosting sod is very COM
mon in Lincolnshire, England, where
in olden times the sod was cut very thin,
and after being piled and dried out
the heap was burned. There was waste
of nitrogen in burning the sod, and
allowing it to ROD down is much the
better way to make use of it.-Amer-
