THE PEASANT. THE WINE MER-

1t so happened that as the Peasant
was visiting the store of the wine mer-

the former was called away for a few
minutes and the latter was left in
charge When the vine merchant re-
turned he lifted up a jug of favorite
wine and a once cried out: You took
advantage of my absence to drink at
least a pint of my wine I shall have
you before the Cadi. and I know that
he will see justice done"
On being brought before the Cadi the
Peasant defended himself by declaring
that the jug must have leaked away the
wine
"That is possible replied the wise
man, but I see no signs of a leak in
the vessel"
He drank it, of course said the wine
merchant-'a full pint at least You
have only to smell his breath to be sure
that he did,
Il admit that I touched my tongue to
the cork, and the wine has doubtless
left its scent2" explained the Peasant.

apparent ignorance Of the effect on the
soil. Take the case Of a strawberry
plantation as an illustration. On aver
age soil having fair quantity Of each
of the plant foods nitrate of soda used
to the exclusion Of other fertilizers
would produce very large crop of ber-
ries, but 1t would also use from the soil
a greater amount of fertility than one
is justified in taking. If other plant
foods were used so as to leave the soil
in fair condition, then the use of the
nitrate of soda would be justifiable, but
this might bring the expense of getting
the crop to figure too great to warrant
the outlay. This being the case, it
would be far more sensible to handle
the soil with a view of getting the large
crop for successive years and retain
