A GIRLS CHOICE.

And How Eager This Man Was to Come
Up to Her Standard.

"He must detest Incidence, ease, lux

said Ethel, with the usual ripple of low
laughter.
Il am sure | have got up all these

glowing with hope.
"He must be increasingly active;
he must have something to do every
minute of the day."
"Don't II"
HE must be an adept in all manly
pursuits. He must ride the bicycle" :"
well, as soon as mine comes, you
have promised to teach me-"
Etheps gaze had wandered, and her
interest seemed to flag for a moment.
"How must he look?" oliver now de-
manded with the tone of one whose
ear is unsatisfied with hearing, who
must know all.
"He? Who?" she said dreamily.
1--WE are talking about the man you
could be in love with" said Oliver
reproachfully.
Ethel pulled herself together "He
must be very handsome" she insist

modestly. He seemed inclined to press
a little closer to her, but Ethel waved
him off with her rod of bamboo.

Systematic Storing of Humus.

One of the greatest advantages OBJ
tain from a cover crop is the constant
storage in the soil of humus. A soil
rich in humus is also a soil properly
drained. In many soils the lack of
humus permits the best elements of
fertility, no matter in what form ap
piled, to leach out and go to waste.
Sometimes they merely leach down to
the subsoil, but even there they are
wasted to most crops. Our surface
feeding crops will not go down to the
subsoil after rich humus or fertility
leached down there, because of a too
porous and open surface soil. The
cover crop plants the humus In the sur
face soil. and thereby holds the fertil-
izing elements of potash, ph0sphoric
acid and nitrogen. They are held there
In a position where the roots OF the
plants can most readily reach and util-
ize them.
Any cover top win do this work.
Some, Of course, answer the purpose
much better than any others, but a
crop that furnishes an abundance Of
green foliage win in time fill the soil
with rich humus. Therefore cover
crops have been used by me continu-
ally for systematic storing of humus in
the soil. My land is so open and por-
GUS that nearly all fertilizers would
quickly leach through If 1t were not for
this practice OF planting cover crops

There are many inquiries about salt
as fertilizer. Salt is rarely of any
use as a fertilizer proper. The cle-
ments of which it is composed are
found in most soils in sufficient
amounts for all except for such plants
as asparagus. whose natural home is
by the seaside. But salt is found in
practice to have much more value than
would be supposed. Its effect is best
on rich land in vegetable matter, which
the salt, in the small amounts usually
applied, helps to deeompose. In larger
quantities salt is preservative from
decomposition. but no farmer would
think of applying enough to injure his
land.

PENNIES orr THE CEILING.
Novel Way of Collecting Money for Char
liable Purnoses.

Novel way of Collecting Money for Char
liable Purposes.
The landlords of some of the public
houses in the poorest districts in the
East End have invented a new method
of collecting money for the hospitals,
says the London Graphic. They recog-
nize the fact that the average man is
usually charitably disposed when he
is in a public house, and so they give
him a chance to do some good with
his money Incidentally, they also fur
nish him with little innocent amuse-
ment. While the man is slipping his
drink the landlord ostentatiously takes
a penny from his till. He next produ-
oes thin slice from cork with a
tin-tack run through the centre He
then places the piece of cork on tie
top Of the penny and wraps them in
piece CT thin colored paper. The paper
is screwed up tightly. so that tie point
of the tin-tack pierces it, and is twist
ed in the form Of stail." When the
landlord has completed these mysteri-
GUS preparations he throws the penny
wrapped in the paper up to the cell
ing. The tack goes into the ceiling
and the penny in the colored paper re-
mains up there. Sometimes the tail
is cut into ribbons, and sometimes
two or three pieces Of paper of differ
ent colors are used. In any case the
customer wants ito have a try The
landlord furnises the cork and the tin.
tack and the colored paper. The Gus
toner finds the penny; with very
little practice anyone can make
penny stick on to the ceiling, and
so in course Of time. the ceiling be
comes gay with colored streamers OF
paper. When the ceiling is full the
pennies are pulled down and sent to
hospital-and the fun begins all over
again.

A Practical Result.

Every day that a team remains idle
it is something for which no return
will ever be received. If we had good
roads the teams could be used on the
farm when the ground was in condi-
ton and the crops could be hauled to
market at such times as farm work
could not be prosecuted.

Volcanic Dust.

The Barbados Agricultural Reporter
has sent to this office a specimen of the
volcanic dust which fell on that island
on May {, and .. Borne from st.
Vincent" it says, lin the upper strata
of the air, and there suspended, this
stuff obscured the sunlight, and pro-
duced the phenomenon of darkness. In
color and consistency it resembles Port
land cement" 1t quotes the following
description of the dust by w. g. Free
man of the local department of agricul-
ture:
From the calculated results of a
series Of observations made in Strath-
clyde on the fall of volcanic ash It
would seem that, at low estimate,
about thirteen ounces fell per square
foot between the hours of . p. m. on
Wednesday and a. M. on Thursday.
This, perhaps, may not appear large
amount; but look at it from another
point of view. Thirteen ounces per
square foot means III ounces per
square yard, or, to express it in fam!l-
lar terms in an agricultural community.
no less than 1G.2 tons per acre.
Leaving for the while minor units,
such as acres, we find that 1920 tons
of volcanic ASH were rained onto every
square mile of this island during the
last twelve hours of darkness. Suppos-
ing the fall to have been approximately
equal in depth over the whole. island,
the almost incredible amount of 1.699,-
$40 tons of solid matter was added to
Barbados last night. New York
