TO BOW OR NOT TO BOW.
How the Question Is Decided Accord.
Ing to Practices Among Our
ENGLISH Cousins.

English Cousins.
In decision with regard to when
to bow" and when not to bow" would
appear to be more general than that
experienced with regard to shaking
hands" or mot shaking hands"
1t may, perhaps, be considered q
matter of little moment whether a
bow is given or withheld, or whether
shake of the hand is given in lieu
OF bow, but in reality it carries a
distinct significance whether the right
or the wrong thing is done on the spur
of the moment.
1t should be understood that bow
Is ceremonious recognition between
those but slightly acquainted, or who
enough to speak or to shake hands
with when they meet.
When, for instance. two women
meet who have been recently intro
duced. II bows are not exchanged
when passing each other it would be
next to impossible to do so on sub
sequent occasion, and thus the ac-
quaintance comes virtually to an end.
Again, it IL equally required that bows
should be exchanged between friends
unable to speak to each other on the
occasion of meeting. more especially
between men and women than be-
tween women themselves.
If woman does not bow to a man
she knows when he looks expectant
of her bowling to him he con-
siders himself cut by her, although
she has no such intention. and was
really postponing her greeting until,
say, she. had shaken hands with her
host and hostess at an outdoor gath
ering.
The same equally holds good be-
tween man and women as between
women. When slight acquaintance
meet at "at homes" and dinner par
ties to bow is all that is necessary, but
the bow should be made as soon as
possible. II woman is seated. and
another arrives, as soon as the one
attracts the notice of the other, bows
should be exchanged.
There are incidental occasions when
bows are given. At breakfast in a
country house bows are the morning
salutation. At dinner parties, when
guests are seated far apart they can,
If inclined to do so, bow and smile
at one another. Out driving is fire.
quent opportunity for bowling. Sit
ting out In the park is another equally
so; in fact. it is difficult to say when
bowling should give place to shaking
hands. Once 1t has done SO, however,
1t can never occupy the same footing
with acquaintances who have been
met with shake of the hand, al
though 1t serves the purpose OF keep
ing in touch those separated by the
barrier of a crowd of circumstances
equally powerful to keep them tempo
rarily asunder.-London Express.

One Of the curious and rare products
of nature is the clock plant. Purdue
University, writes n Lafayette Und.)
correspondent of the Indianapolis
News, had one of the few specimens
to be found in the world. 1t was OBJ
tanned from the Government gardens
at Washington two years ago by
Pierre Van Landingham, expert gar
dener at Purdue. and the authorities at
Washington have asked that 1t be re-
turned, as all the specimens in the
Washington gardens have been lost.
1t is said that the plant at Purdue
was the only one in the United States.
Five small plants have been grown
from the one at Purdue, and they are
carefully guarded.
The clock plant is a native of Borneo
and 1t is as rare there as in other parts
of the world. The clock plant has a
number of peculiar habits, from which
1t takes its name. 1t is as sensitive to
the touch of human fingers as the COM
mon sensitive plant.
The clock plant keeps a second

The Pear Industry Increasing.

Citrus fruits are now being grown
in nearly every county in northern
and central California. They are not
only being grown, but profitably So"
said D. G. Semmes at the Arlington.
California could supply all of the or
anges used in the United States were
it not for the fact that the orchard
lists find that it is more profitable
to raise prunes, apricots, peaches, ap-
pies and pears" which can be grown
at less cost and with a great deal
less risk. The output of the latter
fruit is growing with each year, and
oranges and lemons will be made to
take a back seat to a much larger
extent than heretofore. '-Washington

New Stories of Wellington.

1t is never too late to learn new
things about a great man. The Duke
of Wellington has been DEAD many
years, yet the recently published "Au-
photography of Alexander Grant"
friend and physician of the Marquis of
Dalhousie, once encouragement of
India, contains a number Of new sto-
ries of the simplicity, characteristic
plain-speaking and indomitable mental
courage of the hero of Waterloo.
When the news of the eloody Battle
of Ferozeshah reached England there
was great CONSERVATION in the minis
try. At best it was drawn battle, and
Sir Robert Peel was much depressed.
you must lose officers and men if
you have great battles" said the Duke
of Wellington. 'At Assaye l lost a
third of my force"
When the council continued to con-
slider the battle crushing reverse,
Wellington lighted up suddenly. Make
1t victory!" said het- Fire salute
and ring the bells" And so it was or
dered and done; ana the immediate
heartening of the people proved the
soundness OF the old soldiers policy.
When Lord Dalhousie was ABOUT to
go to India he begged the duke to rec
ommend for the personal staf any
young officer in whom he felt an in
terest He stoutly refused. Il would
as soon recommend wife for man
as an A. D. c." said he.
In 1924 the cabinet, when it found
itself committed to war with the King
of Burma, asked the luke of Yelling
ton for his advice. He replied at once,
bluntly, Send Lord Combermere."
But we have always understood
that your grace thought Lord Comber-
mere a fool"
so he is a fool-an utter fool; but
he can take Rangoon."
When the Duke of Wellington was
warden of the Cirque Ports the queen
went to Walmer Castle for change Of
air. The clerk of the works preceded
her majesty and made some tawdry
repairs, at which the duke was greatly
displeased. When the queen went to
Strathfieldsaye the same clerk of
works preceded her. But here, in his
own home, the duke was beforehand
with him, and ordered nlm off.
No alterations were made. The duke
said, Il just got few tables and a
harpsichord, and 1 asked the neigh
bors to meet her"
This was so much out of Tie routine
of grand preparations and grand guests
that her majesty was much pleased.-

Preventing Calf Cholera.

|
What we mean by calf cholera is
that malignant form of disease which
usually appears from one to three
days after the birth of the calf, and
differs from scours, which Is usually
due to digestive arrangement and
nothing more. 1t is always more prev
alcnt In the spring, most in March, just
about the time the cows are shedding
their hair and are debilltated thereby.
The disease is born with the calf. Its
cause must therefore be looked for In
the cow, or In her treatment previous
to the birth of the calf
This last | take to be the most i'm
portaht element in the solution of the
problem. II the COW is all right. the
calf is almost sure to be In the same
condition, In some cases l have no.
tlced that when the calf does recover,
and they seldom do, 1t always begins
to lick the whitewash of the stable
and scrape off the outer portions of
boards as soon as it is able to do so.
This led me to believe that one cause
was the lack Of these elements In the
animals system. Last spring | had
three cases in my herd In March. After
lingering around short time 1 killed
them all.
then took another COW, due to calve
In about thirty days, and fed her a
small handful of slaked lime and wood
ashes twice day in bran. In due
time she calved and the calf came
through all right. This COW was In
the stable with the others, and calved
In the same loose stall where the
others did, without any special disln-
lection of the place or any attempt to
guard against contagion.
After that the other cows In the herd
were turned to pasture. There was
no more cholera in the calves, and
has been none up to date. From this
l infer that in many cases it is due to
the lack of mineral matter in the food
of the cow, and / would suggest to
those who have trouble in their herds
TO try feeding mixture of lime, wood
ashes and bone dust to their cows pre-
vious to calving and note the results.
Treat the disease on the same basis

Sheep For tho Farm.

If one is in the raising of sheep ex-
clusively, one can afford to so into the
question of fancy breeds suited to the
market to which he Is catering. but the
average farmer who raises sheep sim
ply as one more crop from which he
hopes to derive an income, should Sc

blood in order to obtain the heavy, fine
fleece. 1t has been observed that the
animal with the close, dense fleece Is

should be of a good cross or pure bred,
II desired. but care should be taken
that he is of breed suited to thrive
i'll the section where he is to remain
and under the conditions with which
he will be surrounded. In selecting
sheep for the farm it is generally wise
TO look after the merits of each indi-
vidual regardless of the breed to which
she belongs, for there are good breeds
with poor members of the family Just
as there are good members in breeds
that are not so highly rated. In most
sections where sheep may be raised to
advantage there is room for many
more than are now raised. Ii farmers

Deep VS.. Shallow Cultivation.


The matter OF deep or shallow Guilt
vation is one that is frequently dis
cussed, yet the question Is unsettled, SO
far as the cultivation of some crops is
concerned. One class of farmers be-
lieve that corn should receive deep
cultivation, but they fear the injury
resulting from the cutting of the roots
of the corn plants. 1t is not believed,
however, that much, IL any, damage
will be done to corn by deep cultivation
during the first stages of growth, as
the roots are then tending downward
rather than through the surface soil,
the feeding roots extending later. In
experiments made it was found that
when the soil was stirred to the depth
of half an inch the loss of water from
one acre was five and three-quarter
tons, and when stirred to the depth of
three-fourths of an inch the loss was
about four and half tons of water
per acre. Soil that was not cultivated
at all lost about six and q quarter tons
of water. The experiments show that
deep tillage retains more water in the
soil than when the cultivation Is shall
low. Deep blowing, however, with the
ground rolled, and the soil cultivated so
as to keep the top earth fine and loose.
is deemed better for all crops that feed
close to the surface of the ground, like
corn, though all crops feed near the
surface to certain extent.-Phi1adel-

Improvement by Selection.

Plants of any variety are not all
worthy of being used for breeding more
than are all individuals in breeds of
animals. Horticulturalsts are learn
ing that it pays to select individual su-
perior plants for propagation. Straw
berry growers are marking the best
individual plants in a bed and using
such for producing new plants In this
way 1t is possible in a few years to
have a whole field of plants, all de-
scended from single specimen, and
that selected one. In the common
practice 1t is not unusual to carry
along quite a percentage Of inferior
stock from year TO year that like in

ers among plants are as Improbable as

TIE WAY OF GRIEF.

Alone, he walked the Way OF Grief,
With ashes on his head;
Ger faded bloom and withered leaf,
With hating, heavy tread.
Nor looked he out, nor looked he In,
But ever on would fare,
And thought for ages he had been
Alone and friendless there.
Full bitterly he trod the path,
Nor stayed for rut or stone.
He said: THAN me none other hath
Gone on this way alone.
None other hath this road essayed-
This road of haunting fears
But that some one a balm bath made
To stanch his burning tears.'
Alone he walked the Grlevous Way,
Where there was never light;
No sun to glad him In the day,
Nor any star by night.
His heart within his bosom swelled
And In his angered mood
He raised his eyes. 10, he beheld
A countless multitude!
