4 Toad Story.

One day my father, sister and were
out In the garden watching a little
toad.
My father took a little stick, and
very, very gently scratched one side
Of the toad and then the ether
The toad seemed to like 1t, for he
would roll from side to side and wink.
I was so interested that when they
went in 1 took the stick and
did as my father had done. l thought,
If he rolls from side to side as l touch
him, what would he do if l ran the
stick down his backe

pened? His skin, which was thin and
dirty, parted IN neat little seam.
There was a bright, new coat below.
Then my quiet little toad showed
how wise he was. He gently and care
fully pulled of his outer skin. He
took 1t off the body and his legs first,
and then, blinking it over his eyes, till
where had it gone? He had rolled
1t into q ball and swallowed it.

Tom and the Pig.

Tom had just come to the tours OF
the multiplication tables when he went
into the country for the summer. The
ones, twos and three's were old ia.
miliar friends, and he promised to
know the four's very soon, but some
how his acquaintance with them did
not progress very rapidly. There were
so many more important things to do
things that could not wait. There
was wading in the lake, and the beach
must be searched daily for shells and
pretty stones, and when the wind blew
hard 1t took all ones time to watch
the waves trying to climb over the
high rocks on the point, to say nothing
Of the great days when he went fish
ing with papa, but these were all too
infreQuent, for papa's friends were
pretty sure to be there, and then there
was no room in the boat for Tom.
There were the morning drive, past
fields crowded with buttercups and
daisies, to the train which took his
father to town, and the greater excite
ment Of meeting him in the afternoon,
perhaps bringing something from the
city. Oftener than not 1t proved to be
visitors, but there was always the pos.
sibility that 1t might be candy.
The squirrels, too, were always call
ing Tom to see their races in the
woods, and just around the point was
a bed Of wild strawberries to be
looked after. Between times there
was Helen, who was only three, but
she did very well when there was no
one else, and on rainy days Tom found
it more pleasant to play with her than
he cared to own, even taking kindly to
dolls, when he was sure no one wou d
see him.
SO the days were very full, and Tom
and the tours were almost strangers,
when one morning Uncle Jack made
the startling statement that the pig
was learning the multiplication table!
In all his seven years Tom had never
heard anything so surprising. The pig
had never been OF much interest to
him. A few days later Uncle Jack
said that the pig was almost through
the tours, and showed Tom a most
convincing picture of his pigship sit
ting up, holding a book. That day
Tom was seen with his arithmetic, and
a short time after, when his uncle
said the pig could not remember -four
times eight, Tom promptly gave the
right answer.
Just how much Tom believed in the
education of the pig I do not know
He said he did not believe it at all
and it is true that Uncle Jack was 9
gravefaced joker, but it is true, too
that Tom learned the tours and was
through the Fights before it was time
to so back to town. And once he wa.
seen standing close to the pigsty lis
tening to the pigs grunting recitation
Of ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ughp' whicl
Uncle Jack said meant -Four times
one are four." Youths Companion.

Home Fertlllzers and Fertility.

The main thing in farming is keep

annually gathering crops from 1t. II

Client profits from his crops to lay aside.
something. But even this is a poor
policy. That effort should be made.
to maintain the fertility of the soil up
to a high standard. This is just as
important as 1t Is for a business man
to keep a good stock of goods on hand,
and not let his business run. down
through lack Of a good plant.
Soil fertility is q question intimate
ly connected with the question Of
home fertilizers. The farmer cannot
depend upon commercial fertilizers to
supply his plants with food They
may help at certain times, and add to
the land particular ingredients that
are lacking, but they can never take
the place Of home fertilizers. Barn
yard manure and green fertilizers
must always be the chief dependence
of the farmer for enrlching his soil.
Contained in these are all the elements
needful to make plants thrive. They
vary in different foods, and their pro-
portions are sometimes not all that we
need. One soil may become deficient
in nitrogen, phOsphoric acid or potash,
and sufficient of the proper element
cannot be supplied with the natural
manures. 1t is then that an applica-
ton of artificial fertilizers will ever
keep a soil up to the proper standard.
We may stimulate the plants for a
few seasons, and think that we are
| performing wonders, but we are doing
it at the cost of soil fertility Sooner
or later we will discover that the soil
has become thin and worthless, with
hardly sufficient strength to grow a
blade of grass, and then we may real
lie that we have been raising crops on
stimulants. We may as well att ,mpt
to fatten and strengthen a man on al.
coholic drinks, which do for a time
stimulate the body and muscles to IN.
usual performances.
The backbone Of our farming is
barnyard manure and green fertiliz.
ers. Pillow these under every year in
sufficient quantities, and the heaviest
crops can be raised without injurAng
the land. Then, when needed, dr6ss
the land with artificial fertilizers to
add nitrogen, potash or phosphoric
acid, as the case may need. Some
crops absorb more Of one of these Gle
ments than others. and it is essential
to know which is being used in excgs.

THE SONG OF LlFE.

One must sing Of The mountains;
One must sing Of the sea;
One must sing as the sorg Of love;
And one in hates shrill key.
Yet all will rise 30 the blending skies
In one grand harmony.
Love and hate and compassion,
Sorrow and right and wrong,
Past and future and war and peace
Rise in an anthem strong,
And all viii grow, as they ebb and flow,
To lile's unceasing song.

Yet in the end al the songs win blend
In one harmonious strain.
One must sing Of the future:
With hopes and iearings rife;
One must sing of the misty past
It's dreaming and its strife
Yet they will meet IN a chord full sweet
The marvellous song Of life.
