leaning tower of Pisa. AT Cremona
there is a campanile, 800 feet high, and
n grand architectural work. 1t is the
tallest of the Italian towers. But the
tower of Pisa. on account of its pecu-
liar and startling appearance, leaning
nearly fourte IN feet out of the perpen-
dicular. is more widely known. 1t
used to be classed as one of the seven
wonders of the world, and pictures Of
1t have been published i'll school books
the world owe. for a century or more.
The tower is 1T9 feet high and 80
feet in diameter. 1t is cylindrical in
form. The summit is reached by $50
steps. Some people have an idea that
the tower was built out of the perpen-
dicular, but this is not the fact. The
fault wa manifest before the tower
was completed, and extra braces We're
put in place to guard against disaster.
The upper part of the tower was built
of imitation stone to tighten the
weight. and finally the seven bells
We're placed in the top of the tower in
such way as tsseounteract by their
gravity the leaning of the tower. The
largest of these bells weighs 10000
pounds. The tower is divided into
eight stories, each of which has an
outside gallery projecting seven feet.

have predicted the imminent fall of

Other Fertilizer Needed.

1t is generally admitted that there is
considerable manurial value in the
grain stubble left on the field to be
plowed under, this value consisting OF
portion Of all the essential plant
foods in varying degrees, together with
more or less lime and humids. In
some cases this value Is considerable
in one plant food as in the case of the
nitrogen in the plowed-under clover.
1t is n mistake, however, to believe
that the manure in this stubble is suf-
flcient to prevent the depletion of the
soil by cropping, and yet this is the
idea that is strongly fixed in the minds
of many farmers. There is no getting
away from the old natural law that the
soil must have returned to 1t Mt least
u little more than the crop takes from
it, and this the stubble and scant appli-
cation of stable manure will not do.
The possession of the ideas indicated
make 1t evident that the study of the
soil in an intelligent manner is one
of the essential things for all farmers
to do.

the tower of Pisa, yet it still stands,
while the perfectly straight and sup
posedly safe and sound campanile at
Venice has tulubled to its destruction.
The leaning tower of Pisa is built of
white marble, like the cathedral and
baptistry with which it is connected.
The tower was begun in 1174 and
completed in 1850. 1t was in the cath
edral adjoining that Calico saw a
chandelier swinging and was thus led
to invent the pendulum. This tower
overhangs its base II feet.
Two other famous leaning towers of
Italy are the Asinelli and Garesenda
at Bologna. the former 300 feet in
height, to the bnse OF the lantern
which surmounts 1t, or 321 feet includ-
ing the lantern, and the latter $50 feet
III height. The Asinelli leans three
feet and six inches from the perpen-
dicular and the Garesenda eight feet
and six inches. These towers were
erected in the twelfth century.
There are several high towers am

being those at Seville Grenada and

AS rule trees to be set along the
roadside if beyond the line of the prop
erty, should be of the ornamental class
es rather than fruit trees; particularly
should this be the case II the farm is
located in rather thickly populated
section. If, however, the trees are to
be set inside the fence line on one side
of the farm, or even on all sides, cher
ry trees will be the most ornamental
and probably yield as good an income
as any other class. if soil and climate
is suitable. In an apple section 1t would
doubtless be wise to set apple trees.
There can be but one objection to util-
izing the land along the roadside for
fruit trees, and that is the tendency on
the part of the owner to neglect them
to much greater extent than would
be the case If the trees were in orchard
rows. The trees must have the annual
care, the pruning, the spraying and the
thinning, and If these are given there
is no reason why they should not grow
profitable crops.

the liveliest satisfaction; he clappcd
