Swell" said Margaret, You know |
went out to M last week to visit the
Cross family. Every little town, you
know, usually has its idiot or its epicp-

three or four men who were bringing him
into the store TO have his tt out His
arms were waving like windmill sails,

were pretty well crowded, and | took the
only vacant seat. the one at the front of
the car. On the little seat that runs ut
right angles to the front seat sat q man
ana wOman-the man on the end to-
wards me- He was big fellow, and so
he was crowded pretty close to me. The

and there was a commOtion all around.
The car was stopped and some men ear
ried the man into a drug store; and /
finally reached home, somewhat the
worse for wear.
when / reached the house, mother
met me at the door. ! thought she
| looked a bit sorry about something. and
so, before | told my story, I asked her
what was the matter And then she told
I me that while | had been gone father

they were 50 dear. that ! couldn't bear

1t may be argued in objection to this

There is among many cotton grow
ers an idea that clover turned under

cause rust is due to fungoid or mite
parasites.

All typical cotton soils are deficient
in lime and potash-two minerals
which are necessary foods for clover
as well as for cotton plants. Before
sowing clover. it will be profitable to
top-dress the land with 500 pounds Of
lime and 100 pounds Of muriate Of
potash or 400 pounds Of kainit per
acre. These minerals do not easily
wash away and will remain until all
are taken up by the clover or follow
