She strove to Please.

The waiter girl at our table was i'm.
bued with a sincere desire to give satis-
faction. She did her best to get from
the kitchen precisely what each board
er asked for, and she succeeded very
we'll indeed.
The other evening at dinner she said
interrogatively to each man in turn,
Chicken or tomato soup" and one
made answer, "Tomayto," and the Sec
ond said "Tomawto soup, please" and
the third added, "Pll take tomato"
Whereupon the intelligent maiden
delivered the several orders into the
kitchen in this wise, Zone tomayto
soup, one tomawto soup and one to-
matto soup"
Thus each guest received precisely
what he had asked for and was happy
until the next order was taken.
But that is another course.-Judge.

She Followed Instructions.

A lady once employed a girl to assist
her in her housework. One day the
mistress wanted to make a pudding,
and, having bought some plums. she
explained to the girl how to stone
them. She picked up plum and took
out the stone; then, thinking the girl
knew how to do them, she put the plum
in her mouth and left the kitchen. The
servant came into the drawing room
half an hour later and said. please.

parted for the kitchen and beheld
plate full of stones only. Where are
the plums JaneT she asked. I've

FALL FLOWING.
As Late In the Season as Possible Ii
One Fnrmer's Preferred Time.

As Late In the Season as Possible Is
One Farmers Preferred Time.
We like to defer our fall plowing just
as late in the season as possible. Be
tween the first freezings and thawings
is the best time. Then whatever vege-
table matter. stubble or refuse we turn
under begins To decay at once and by
planting time will yield up such plant
food as may be contained therein, says
an Orange Judd Farmer writer.
The ground is not SO soft and wet in
fall as it is in spring. and there Is less
damage sustained by teams tramping
over il. When the team stops on wet
ground in spring. there is apt to be
clod all through the summer. A ma
jority of these clods may be pulverized,
1t is true, by rolling. narrowing and
dragging, but this is expensive and
may be avoided by plowing in the fall.
When we turn up and expose bare
soil to sunshine in summer or frost III
winter, the availabue fertility is there
by increased and no mistake. And all
know that the more available fertility
we can get into the soil the larger will
be the crop yield.
The mechanical condition of soils that
will admit of fall plowing is always
better than it is on lands plowed in
spring. The freezing and thawing
break down every lump, and we have
that condition which seems TO be the
most desirable, las mellow as an ash
heap"
BY fall blowing we get rid of various
kinds of worms and insects that are
menace to the crops and not infre-
quently destroy them. We have never
had corn injured by cutworms or any
other worms on land that had been fall
plowed.
Fall plowing enables us to start our
spring crops earlier in the season, ana
one year with another it is the early
sown oats and the early planted corn
that give us the largest yield. Then 1t
is far easier to cultivate land plowed in
fall. Weed seeds do not start so early
or grow off so vigorously for some rea-
son or other.
