His Money Was Missing.

The Kansas City Journal tells this
story; Frank Anderson was for years
a well-known commercial traveller. VINO
made Galena. He was passionately
fond OF honey, and the proprietor OF
the hotel at Galena, at which he al
ways stopped, always had some on
hand for him. On one trip Anderson
took his wife along and as they APP
preached Galena he mentioned to her
that he was getting to place where
they could have some honey. When
the pair were sitting at the supper
table that night no honey appeared,
and Anderson said sharply to the head
waiter; Where is my honeyT The
waiter smiled and said: You man
the little black-haired one? Oh, she
don't work here now.'"

The general impression is that
cauliflower cannot be successfully
grown on sandy soils, and for the
lively loan. Experience has proven
to the Long Island growers most con-
clusively that it is not the character
of soil. but its condition, that insures
success. The cauliflower, in common
with all other plants, does not feed
upon soil, but upon the elements of
plant growth contained in the soil,
ani these can be furnished by the
light as well as by the heavy soils.
Then the question arises can 1t be
grown without the aid of commercial
fertilizer? Yes, but | should prefer,
under some circumstances, its use.
For instance the caulihower has q de-
cided thirst for salt, an element that
can only be furnished by the use of
chemicals. On saline coasts the at
mosphere will furnish that to a con-
siderable extent. but not sufficient for
It's needs, which on Long Island Is
furnished by the salts used in the
commercial fertilizers.

To Sccnrr tinnh Cows.

Good cows can only be secured by
keeping the good calves that are
from animals which are known TO be
meritorious, but the farmers who buy
their fresh cows and sell their calves
when they are but few days old
destroy all opportunities for selection.
A good calf, however, is one that is
bred for a special purpose. and the
farmer, therefore. knows in advance
what 1t should be when matured. and
the calf will. if it is from COOL stock,
probably not disappolnt him.

IinX and Fertility.

A good way to run down the fer
tilty of farm is to sraise successive
crops of hay on the land without any
special attention to improve methods
OF restoring to the soil the elements
which the hay takes from it. In many
parts of the country, where haying
was formerly very profitable, it is
now pretty poor sort of farming.
simply on account of this robbing of
the soil. The hay was raised contin-
uosly, and money was made thereby;
but gradually the hay crop proved
smaller and less profitable, and in
time the land was good for nothing
else. There are at present many
such rundown farms. ani the owners
in raising hay, nor in any other kind
of farming. 1t is net that the price of
hay is not satisfactory, but the land
which formerly yielded such good
crops fails now to respond.
| believe in raising good hay for
market. and do II every year. finding
therein as good profit as in any 9th
er crop. But years ago | came to the
conclusion that hay as a market crop
would not pay unless it was raised
as a part of good system of crop
rotation. Consequently while other
farms arounl me have in many in
stances shown unmistakable signs OF
degeneration through too heavy hay
cropping, mine is really in better fer
tility than at the beginning. | have
always contrived to get back to the
land as much If not more than I
took from 1t. The soil must be in the
right condition to yield heavy crop
of timothy. and timothy takes from it
more life and fertility than any other
crop. That is one reason why fancy
timothy hay always brings the high
est price in the market. Yet with
forethought and planning a big crop
of fancy timothy can be raised almost
as easily as any other hay grass. 1t
is all in the rotation ana the method.
In this rotation clover must al
ways play a conspicuous part. Let
clover follow wheat to adj 20 the
soil all the rich fertility that this
plant carries with it. The clover
crop must be planted often TO make
it possible to secure a good catch
without difficulty. The trouble often
is that clover is used only as q last
resort. Other crops are planted and
harvested until the sell is robbed of
nearly all its fertility; then 1t is ex-
pected that clover will suddenly re-
store the land to it's normal conli-
tion. This it would do II the clover
could be made to grow luxuriantly.
but the fact is the soil is then so
poor that the clover fails to make a
good catch. and as a result efforts
must be made to induce the clover
to grow. This is much like the ether
crops. It does not pay to let the
soil run down too much. The time
for repairing 1t is when the degener-
acy first begins. Each year the re-
pairs to the soil should be ma lie.
Then we would have no rundown
farms and soils that will not produce
paying crops-C. S. Walters, in

Sable Islanl, off the coast of Nova
Scotia. where so many ships have
been wrecked. is gradually washing
away, and, strange to say. the Cana
dian Government is doing its best to
find way to save IL. 1t might be
thought, at first blush. that its wash
ing away would be the best thing that
could happen. but the trouble Is that
1t will wash down just below the
surface of the water, and then lie
there concealed, an infinitely greater
danger to navigation than ever. SO
an effort Is to be made to keep IL
above water, and this Is to be done by
planting on it certain trees whose
roots have peculiar binding qualities.
The roots branch out widely and in
terlace, clinging to the sand in such
a way that II becomes a strong wall.
The French Government has used the
trees effectively for this purpose. and
they have also been used along the
sandy banks of the Suez Canal.
