The department Of agriculture is said

The phrase '-tillage is manure" may
be classed as one Of the half truths"
From recent experiments It appears
that the reason tillage seems to be

utilize completely the fertility that is

This machine. like all fodder cutters,

Seeding and Pasturfng StumDage.
With little scientific handling
stumpage may be made excellent pas
turage. In some Of the heavily wooded
sections Of Wisconsin the cow is
brought In about as soon as the timber
has been hauled away. The stumps
remain, and In the course Of nature the
spaces around them would soon grow
up thick with briers, berry bushes and
unaerbrush. 4saBut the farmer puts in
bis harrow and perhaps bis pillow. and
the hand Is roughly prepared for grass
seed, which Is at once sovn- The
grass quickly gets firm hold, and
there is no room for either underbrush
or weeds The whole land is soon oc-
cupied with grass, except that actually
occupied by the stumps
The cows are then turned into this
pasture and occupy 1t for years Mean
time the stumps, II they be Of certain
varieties Of trees, are rotting away at
the roots, and the rotting clears the
way for the stumpage pasture to be-
come q tllabie field. This plan is
worthy of more general adoption, ac-i
coriing to Farm, Field and Preside.
Land that has been cleared OF timber
Is generally allowed to lie practically
waste for long years. If the cattle are
turned upon it for pasturage, they sim
ply browse the wild grasses that
spring UP here and there Too often
weeds get possession in such numbers
that the whole area becomes verita
BILE thicket Of weeds, In all such cases
grass should be placed in possession Of
the denuded land.

YANKEE AND FILIPINO.

The native Filipino has the reputa-
ZION Of being the shrewdest among the
Asiatic races Like the Parsee, he is
known as the Yankee Of the orient.
He lost no opportunity to trim up his
occidental Yankee brother whenever
the opportunity presented itself, but
the American Yankee, and particular
~ he Of the Pennsylvania breed, usual
~ gave him Roland for his Oliver.
When the Pennsylvanians left San
Francisco on their way to the Phillip
pines, the Red Cross society gave each
one of them an aluminium badge the
size and shape of an American quar-
ter, bearing the name of his regiment,
his company and his company number
Shortly after their arrival In Manila
the officers of some OF the companies
found these Identification badges in
the hands of Filipino merchants, upon
whom the PennsyI yanians had impos-
ed them as quarter dollars IN return
for articles of barter
Another trick of the Yankee soldier
was to take a new copper penny, mill
the edges or IT With tile, polish the
coin till 1t shone like gold and then
pass it upon the guileless and unsuspi-
cious natives as a S. goldpiece.
The gullibility of the native in this
regard led some of the men to write
home for samples Of Confederate scrip,
which. when duly received, were put
In circulation among the yellow pack
cts as bona fide American greenbacks,
the natives willingly accepting them as
standard paper money of the United
States. Philadelphia Press.
