CHARLES DICKENS PRESENT.
Changed to Happiness by the
"Kind Gentleman"

Charles Dickens was always very
fond of children. One day he was
walking in the neighborhood of Gad's
Hill, not long after he had acquired
his property there, when he sudden
ly ran into a little girl wheeling a
dolls perambulator. In an instant
the tiny vehicle upset, the dolls being
thrown out, says the Detroit Free
Press.
1t was a bad accident as far as
they were concerned, for wax heads
and limbs are not calculated to stand
much hard usage. The little maid
burst into tears, and, much to the
novelist's sorrow, refused to be COM
forted.
"Then come home with me-" Dick
ems whispered soothingly, "and we'll
see if we can't find some grand waxen
lady in silks and satins for you"
So back to the big house the two
went, and sure enough, up in the
children's nursery he managed to dis
cover few prettily dressed dolls.
With these safely tucked in her per-
ambulator the little girl trotted off.
But it is in the sequel that the
best part of the story lies. The
child's heart was set on making some
return for this kindness, so her par
ents, who had not the faintest sus-
picion of her friends personality,
took her to town to choose some
thing. Her choice fell eventually
upon a gorgeously bound book.
When Dickens the next day undid
the parcel his small visitor brought
him he was surprised and delighted
to see a copy of David Copperfield."
Not until many years later, when
they met again in society, did the
little girl learn who the kind gen.
tleman" was.

SEALED ORDERS.

Nor whittier her course would be-.
Her future fate was shrouded H
In silence and mystery. ~

Darkness before and around them,
With scarce a glimmer of light;

The Main Question.

A certain learned professor was re-
Gently invited to lecture in an English
village. and talked completely over the
heads of his bucolic audience. AT the
close of his lecture he dropped his lofty
style and blandly remarked: "And
now, friends. in conclusion, allow me
to say that if anyone has question
to ask l will do my best to answer
him." 1t was very old villager in the
back seat who slowly rose to his feet
and asked the first and only question:

By the heroic act of a tramp two
residents of Jefferson were saved from
drowning in Rock river. Frank Will
hanson and his little daughter were
crossing the river when the ice sudden
ly gave way, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean A tramp who was walking on
the railroad track a few hundred feet
from where the accident took place
pulled off his coat and plunged into the
water after the struggling pair, who
were fast losing consciousness. The
heroic tramp was clad in overalls and
thin shirt when he made the plunge.
He succeeded in holding the man and
girl above water until boats were
brought John Buchta. who was close
to the scene at the time. also worked
energetically, and was drawn into the
water by the struggling trio. After
hard work on the part of the rescuers
all were saved A subscription was
taken up for the tramp, and complete
outfit Of clothing was purchased e0r
him.

Quality of Red Glover Seed.

The quality of sample of clover
seed depends upon it's cIeanness, the
percentage of germinable seed, the
vigor of termination, and the origin
of the seed The cleanness OF a sam
pie depends both upon its freedom
from broken seeds, dirt, and other in
ert matter and upon the absence of
weed seeds and the seeds of other cul-
tivated plants. The seeds of timothy,
white, and alsike clover are often
present, and although they must be
considered impurities, they can not be
called injurious. Timothy may some
times be present in such quantity as
to be Objectionable. not from the ma
ture of the plant. but because the seed
can be purchased at much less cost
than clover seed, and a farmer does
not want to pay for clover when he
gets timothy. More serious is the
presence of a considerable quantity of
weed seeds, especially if among the lot
gerouS weeds.
In some localities low grades OF
clover seed are demanded because the
clover is to be used as green manure,
and it is thought that the weeds will
furnish green material for plowing un-
der and can thus do no harm. This is
true to a certain extent, but the weeds
fall far short of the clover as green
manure, and the value of the sod will
be reduced in proportion to the abun-
dance of weeds.

feel that the paper lays the foundation
for much future work. The principles
illustrated here are applicable else
where and should be thoroughly un-
derstood by every plant culturist. We
believe that a close perusal of the pa
per will abundantly repay our readers.
A Wisconsin nurseryman, in some
advice to nurserymen, says: 1t Is
impossible to produce all you sell II
you do a big business There is no
extensive nursery in the United States
that does. We take 1t for granted that
there are just as honest men in the
business as we are, and if they prop
agate and cultivate in the same way
and with as much care as we do, why
not use their surplus goods when we
are short, and they reciprocate? Tnat
may be all right from the standpoint
of the nurseryman, but is it honest!
If man buys of one nurseryman he
frequently does so because he has con-
fdence that the man of whom he buys
will sell him only what he wants and
he does not want stock that has passed
through a number of hands before it
reaches the man Of whom he buys.
This is doubtless at the bottom of a
good deal of the dissatisfaction that
is reported due to falsely named trees.
To illustrates: We know a man in IL
Hnois who ordered several hundred
trees of certain varieties of an Illinois
nursery. The Illinois nursery being
out of those varieties, or some of them,
sent to nursery in Missouri and filled
the order. The trees sent from the
Missouri nursery were not the kind the
man had ordered of the home nur-
sery, but he did not find this out till
years after when his trees came into
bearing. He was, of course, righteous
ly indignant and reported the facts to
the Illinois nursery. At that time he,
for the first time, learned that his
goods had come from another nursery.
The Illinois nursery offered to supply
him with new trees of the varieties he
had at first ordered, but to the mind
of the man (and we agree with him)
this was no recOmpense, for he had
lost years of time and spent a large
amount of labor on the trees palmed
on on him. Ii a nurseryman wants to
substitute the goods of another nur-
sery for the ones ordered he should
state the whole case to the buyer and
leave him to accept or decline the of
fer. Any other course is tricky.

wa,nuts from Sewer Farm.

superintendent Reynolds of the city
sewer farm says that the crop Of wal
nuts on the city property will amount
to about three carloads, and that there
will be not more than seven or eight
sacks of seconds" in all three. This
is by far the largest crop the farm has
ever produced and it also leads for
quality. Mr.. Reynolds sorted over 115
trays of the nuts and only found a tray
and a half of second quality in the
whole lot The nuts have been sold to
the Ontario Packing Company for so
cents a pound for firsts, 6N cents for

Arsenic In Artificial Manures.

Arsenic In Artificial Manures.
We republish from Lancet" of Eng
land, the following interesting bit of
information:
During the past week our Laboratory
Commissioners have undertaken the
examination of a number of sub
stances, including certain foods and
drugs in common daily use, in the
preparation of which sulphuric acid is
used. 1t will be found, after a few
moments consideration. that a fairly
lengthy list of articles of everyday
use may thus be drawn upon. The re-
suits are not yet ripe for publication,
but we feel bound to divulge one i'm
portant result since the disturbing an
nouncement has this week been made
by the analyst of Manchester that ar
senic has been found in malt in a
quantity equal to that found in glu-
cose or malt substitutes. Moreover,
arsenic was found in beers which were
known to be brewed from malt and
hops only. Now that this remarkable
statement has been made, We may say
that we have found, in the course of
the inquiry alluded TO, artificial ma
nures to be rich in arsenic easily sol
uble in water. This is hardly surpris-
ing, since the basis of artificial ma
nures-namely, superphosphate of
Iime-is made by acting on ordinary
bone ash with common oil of vitriol
The important point is that it has
been established that plants to which
arsenical manure is applied take up
arsenic in their tissues. Cabbages and
turnips gathered from fields manured
with superphosphate have given un-
mistakable evidence of the presence of
arsenic. 1t is probable that arsenic
accumulates in the soil which is con-
stantly being dressed with superphos-
phate, SO that plants raised on such
soil would absorb arsenic, and exer-
Else an injurious effect on the health
Of man and animals. The question
arises, therefore, may not the arsenic
in malt be traceable to the somewhat
large amount of arsenic inevitably
present in artificial manures? This
aspect of the subject is very serious,
md needs further inquiry. We shall
return to it in a future issue. when
we hope also to be able to record the
results obtained in an examination of
,ther more or less familiar articles. in
which arsenic may possibly be intro
iuced through the employment of i'm
,ure sulphuric acid in the course of
manufacture.

Fertilizers for Grain.

In the experiments of the Central
Station at Wooster, Ohio, where wheat
has been grown in rotation with corn,
oats, clover and timothy, the average
increase per acre from plain acid phos-
phate, applied at the rate of 160 pounds
per acre to wheat and 80 pounds per
acre to corn and oats, or a total of 800
pounds during the five years of a ro-
tation, has been 4.6 bushels of wheat,
3.6 bushels of corn, IL bushels of oats
and 500 pounds of hay, while from the
same quantity of acid phosphate, car
ried partly in acid phosphate and
partly in tankage. but REINFORCED by
the nitrogen carried in the tankage
and by a small addition of muriate of
72 bushels of wheat, bushels Of corn,
bushels of oats and 1000 pounds of
hay.
The cost of the acid phosphate used
on an acre in five years has been about
$2.40. while that Of the mixture of acid
phosphate, tankage and muriate of
potash, has been about $3.75; but the
average increase from this mixture has
been SO mucn greater than that from
acid phosphate alone as to give a to-
tai net profit, over the cost of the fer
tilizer, of about $12 per acre in five
years for the mixed fertilizer against
about Sc for the acid phosphate used
alone.

Corn weakened by smut.

The smuts of grain are due to a
small plant or parasitic fungus which
gains an entrance to the grain plant
at some period in its existence after
the termination of the seed and grows
entirely within the body of its host
until it is mature, when it forms its
spores or reproductive bodies in some
definite portion of the host, such as
the seed, as in the case of wheat smut
Since the parasite lives at the expense
of the plant upon which 1t grows. the
latter. is weakened in proportion to

ture.
Alfalfa and Clover.

There has been SO much said and
written about alfalfa that it has be-
come popular outside of the regions in
which conditions are suitable for its
growth. This has led to a good many
farmers experimenting with it in
states where red clover grows abund-
antly and where there is no pressing
need for the growing of alfalfa. When
ever asked about the matter the ad-
vice of the Farmers Review has been
for the farmers to be satisfied with
red clover in the states in which 1t
can be grown successfully.
For Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana,
Michigan and the neighboring states
there is no necessity for the growing
of alfalfa and in most parts of them
the plant would most likely prove
failure if tried. There are a good
many reasons why we should stick to
red clover. The first reason is that 1t
can enter into the rotation with the
other crops. Its roofing is not so deep
that it cannot be disturbed, and it does
not take years to get it well rooted
With alfalfa the case is different. 1t
Is regarded as a permanent crop and
grows better after having been per-
mttted to take a few years in estab-
fishing its root system. The great
difficulty in getting a catch of alfalfa
is during the years when its roots are
small and its growth comparatively
feeble. But after it has reached down
into the regions of eternal moisture,
10, 15 or 20 feet below the surface. it
will grow on forever. 1t is said that
in Chile there are fields of alfalfa
that have not been disturbed for 200
years and yet annually yield good
| crops. This will readily show how
little it is fitted for the rotation.
| Without the abundant sunshine to
which 1t is accustomed it is difficult to
cure alfalfa, and this is a very serious
matter in a country of clouds and fire.
Quent rains. We note another thing in
Tsgaed 20 alfalfa grown out of its nat
ural habitat. 1t is smaller and does
not yield the heavy crop that is cred
tied to 1t. The writer has in mind
in particular a crop that was grown
few years ago at the Michigan Ex-
| pertinent station. We doubt If in that
case, under the best of conditions. the
crop was as large as would have been
realized from red clover.

The Bark Senator /.

Captain Harrison of the disabled bark
Senator returned from Honolulu last
week, says the Hawaii Herald of June
GOTH He went down for the purpose
of consulting the agents of his vessel,
and Lloyd's agent relative to the con-
dition of affairs, and advice as to what
had better be done. While in Honolulu
he tried to dispose of his cargo, but did
not succeed.
Captain Harrison brought back with
him Mr.. Lyle of the marine railway,
and two divers, in order that an at
tempt might be made to locate the
leak. When the men went into the
water there was about FIVE feet of
water in the hold. Diver Lyle began
making a survey, the pump in the
meanwhile being kept going in order to
clear the vessel. At noon on Saturday
leak was discovered under the copper
about opposite the mainmast This was
stopped without delay and water ceased
flowing in. The leak was about five
inches long, and was in one of the
seams. Mr.. Lyle will complete his sur
vey and then make his report.
Captain Harrison feels much relieved
and has 30 doubt the vessel can sail to
Liverpool with safety. He has already
made nine trips around the Horn in the
