Fall PlOughing.

More farmers should understand the
bent fit received by the succeeded crops
on land ploughed during fall and early
winter. To illustrate in measure On
a five-acre strip planted in tobacco in
1900, a square OF an inch was blocked
out of one side, sown in peas in July and
moved on September 18th for hay; in
November following under the tobacco
suckers, which were shoulder high and
uninjured by frost, were turned under,
leaving out the pea patch as already in
good condition. In the spring the whole
was broken and planted in corn, with
the result so per cent. in favor of the fall
breaking. Another test, with results more
clearly defined, was on an adjoining strip
sown in peas in 1900. One halt of this
strip was fall ploughed, and in the spring
the entire piece was planted in tobacco.
The dry weather during May and June
made it impossible to secure a stand
without planting FIVE different times. On
that part which was fall ploughed, not
more than 10 per cent. of the first plant
ing died, while on the balance of the
patch fully 90 per cent. failed to survive.
the succeeding replanting dying proper
tionately. The result is that on fall
ploughed land the crop OF corn and to-
bacco were so increased in both quantity
and quality as TO pay for the extra work
repeatedly. The mechanical condition
of land thus worked is greatly improved
and moisture in great amounts longer
remain.

Now, Notwithstanding much outdoor life,
they are little if any stronger than they
were. The tan on their faces is darker
and makes them look healthier, butait is
only a mask. They are still nervous,

not eat nor sleep well, What they need
is what tones the nerves, perfects diges-
ton, creates appetite, and makes sleep
refreshing, and that is Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. Pupils and teachers generally will
find the chief purpose OF the vacation
best subserved by this great medicine
which. as we know, "builds up the whole

Much has been spoken and written
about the lofty craftsmanship and patriot
ism OF William Mckinley. His unsul-
lied character and Christian manhood
have been ex,olled even by those who
had not been in accord with his public
policy
The sweetness and gentleness OF his
domestic relations have made their inn
press upon the home-life OF the country.
The heroic courage and humble resigna-
lion to the will OF God that marked the
closing hours OF his early life were in
harmony with career OF such signal
beauty and power.
His last words were, alt is Gods way
His will be done, not ours" The virtues
OF our martyred President have not been
exaggerated. He will stand colossal
figure in the history OF the world. His
career will teach an impressive lesson TO
the youth OF this nation that high sense
OF honor, answering integrity, and an
humble, consistent Christian profession,
are not barriers to the highest official dis
iinction. Among his many other noble
characteristics, William Mckinley was
noted Tor his fondness for children.
For some years he was closely identi-
fed with Sunday work, aud always
maintained high estimate OF the Sun
day school as one OF the nations safe
guards. /. therefore. suggest to the Sun
day-schools OF Maryland. that part of
the regular service of September 72nd be
devoted to a memorial service with the
object of commenting to the children, for
emulation, the noble character and emf
nently useful life of our late President.
