THE INTELLIGENT FARMER.


Z. l.. Vincent says in Farm and
Fireside: Few of us get the best
there is in our farms. That is be-
.ause we do not put the best there
Is in us into them. There isn't much
ase in expecting great things on the
farm unless we are willing to plan,
work and study how to get those
great things. How shall we go at
1t to do that? In the first place, the
soil must be in good state of fer
tility. This means that we have
carefully saved up every particle of
barnyard manure we have, and have
seconded this effort by a judicious
Use of commercial fertilizer. 1t
means, too, that we have not pre-
siously cropped the land to death.
Then we will pillow thoroughly. Not
one man out of ten in this country
Knows how to plow; or, if he does,
be has not the grit and the gunp-
lion to do it. Once in awhile we
meet a farmer who insists that this
part of the farm work shall be done
thoroughly. He is on the way to
success. 1t was an old Scotchman
who said: 'Ye dinna ken how to
pillow in this coontry; ye on'y
scratch the groom And that is
about what most of us farmers do
we scratch the ground. And again,
to get the best there is in our farms
we must use the harrow more faith
fully. The farmer has no better tool
than good harraw. l say a good
n n hnnn,,ea &c
have not such thing as frst-class
harrow on the place. They are work
ing away with the same old W
shaped drag their fathers used, or
else have picked up at some sale a
WORKOUT thing not worth bringing
home. No good work can be done
with such tool. Harrows of an up
to-date pattern are reasonable in
price nowadays, and every farmer
ought to have one or more. Good,
clean seed is requisite, too. No
use to sow seed that will not grow,
or that is full of weed seed. This
may mean the purchase of fam
ming mill, to be used in recleaning
seed. We may better do this than
to seed our farms down with foul
weeds. But, finally, we will fail aft
er all if we do not keep the weeds
down in every crop that can be cul-
tivated. This means steady work
for few weeks in the spring of the
year, until the potatoes have been
billed up and the corn is too large to
admit of working a horse through
1t. But the end tells the story.
Other things being equal, the man
who puts himself into his work as
| have here described may rest as
sured of a good crop-the best the
soil will produce. And that ought
to make him happy"

NEW ARK'S NEW BISHOP.
Career Of the Rev. Dr. Lines at IaleHis
New Haven Church Work.

NEW HAVEN. July 25.--The Rev DR.
Edwin S. Lines Of this city. who has lust
been elected Bishop of the Protestant
the most popular members of the class Of
'72 at Yale. He was class orator among
other things.
During his last year at Yale he was edit or
of the Yale Courdnt and on leaving college
he went into active ..ewspaper work for a
short time az the city editor of the New
Haven Palladium He has always said
that the knowledge Of human nature that
he gained then was of inestimable benefit
to him in after years in his clerical labors
After two years spent In the Berkeley
Theological School, at Middletown Mr..
Lines was ordained in 1874, and his first
parish was Christ Church, New Haven.
About 1879 he took charge of st. Paul g
Church, the largest in the city.
The parish now is in the very heart Of
the thichlv populated part Of the town
Several very wealthy people have become
interested in the work Of DR.. Lines among
the poorer pensioners and have made very
generous contributions to assist him. A
fund Of $500, 900 was given to the church by
the late Betsey Forbes Bradley.
In his church work as well as in his other
lines of activity, DR.. Lines has always ia
vored democratic spirit He was one of
the first clergymen TO ride wheel and
although he was subjected TO considerable
criticism he persisted until people became
accustomed to seeing the black clad
clergyman mounted on bicvcle. On the
,,, 70 har
kind of prominence that he consistently
refuses to have photograph taken.
One of his greatest moves for the benefit
of the church of which he is the head was
his selection of the Rev. Arson Phelps
Stokes, Jr.. secretary to the Yale Corpora
ton as his assistant at 81. Paul's soon aft er
Mr.. Stokes's graduation from the Episcopal
Theological School al Cambridge, Mass, iii
1900. Previous to this st. Paul's Church
never had much Of university following, as
the Episcopal element al Yale preferred
Trinity Church, on the 0:~en. The selection
of Mr.. Stokes proved & dipomatio move,
for he Is az popular with the younger ele-
ment at the University as DR. Lines is with
the older, and his connection with the church
has given Il a deoidea:y ! ale tint.
Many friends OF the rector Of st, Pauls
have contended that his interest in the
poorer people Of the city has been .particu-
larry keen because he himself had a hard
struggle in his younger days. He was
born in Naugatuck, Conn, fifiy-four years
ago and after receiving tho education Of
the district schools went TO work in tho rub
Der shops for which that town is famous
He worked at a bench there making
rubber shoes until he had accumulated
enough money to take him through the
Cheshire Military Academy Here DR., Lines
stood very high in his class, graduating
with highest honors. From there he went
to Yale.
DR.. Lines married in 1879 Miss Mary
Morehouse, daughter Of Cornelius 8. More
house Of this city, and the couple have two
sons living. -.
