FAILS TO LEARN ONE THING
Barring That the Coachman Might
Easily Become Master Of the
Automobile.

A retired Irish major sold his horses
and carriages and bought motor car
but instead of engaging chauffeur he
determined to send his faithful old
coachman to q Dublin firm OF en-
gineers for a course of lessons in
small repairs, relates London Tit-Bits.
"You will go through a two months
training" he explained to Pat, as he
handed him check for his expenses,
during which time you will make
yourself thoroughly familiar with the
engine and all its works.
Eyes, sor," was Pats reply.
"You will note every wheel and
crank and learn what they are for,
and what they have to do, so that
when you return you will be equal to
any emergency"
Il will, sor,'' said Pat, and, having
slowed the check away down in his
trousers pocket, he took his departure.
In two months time he returned
with the conqueror's look in his eye.
well, Pat, have you succeeded?"
Il have, sor."
And you know everything about
the motor?''
Il know all, sor, from the big lamp
in front to the little numbers behind
except one thing" the new chauf-
feur added, as he ne1vously p,ucked a
few hairs from his new bearskin coat.
And what is it you don't know?"
demanded the major.

LUCK DEFINED IN A WORD.
The Chance Of Success in Life as Va
riously Viewed by Two Col
1ege Men.

Dunwolde filled his pipe and pulled
meditatively before he answered.
Then he said: Il don't care what it
is called-fate, chance, luck, kismet-
call it anything you want, there's an
element of chance that has to do with
a mans success You know, and I
know, score of men of brainy attain
ment, good Woodworking fellows, who
make but a pittance when compared
with the wad rolled up by an illiterate
contractor who can hardly sign his
name. And the careless, slipshod fell
low who goes on his whistling way
and doesn't care If school keeps or
not, or if the world goes round on its
axis once in "a hours or once in 48
those fellows get along and make
their piles of money. You can put it
down as an axiom that success in life
is nine-tenths luck and the other
tenth ability"
You're talking like q freshman,
not like SENIOR said John, relates
the Failure. you're too radical,
Arthur. Lots OF fellows hit the bulls
eye-lots don't. And when they don't
hit it's their own fault. Their mental
eyesight, or their business eyesight, OF
their hustling eyesight is at fault
perhaps all three. All of us get q
chance to shoot once or twice in our
lives-and it's case of miss and out
largely-just as it is in any other
tournament"

ORCHARD FERTILIZATION.
Grow Cowpeas Among the Fruit Trees
at Least Once in -Four
Years.

I would say that the cheapest and
best way to fertilize an orchard is to
grow a crop of cowpeas in it at least
once IN four years, to use what stable
manure and wood ashes can be OBJ
tanned, and II it Is seen to be neces-
sary, to apply potassium in the form
OF muriate of potash, and perhaps a
little phosphorus in the form Of dis
solved rock. There may be orchards
where it is not desirable to grow cow
peas, and where a complete CONNER
cial fertilizer is desirable. For such
the following may. be suggestive:
Food elements, nitrogen; per acre,
eight pounds; fertilizer, per acre, so
pounds Of nitrate Of soda; GO pounds OF
dried blood, 100 pounds of tankage.
Food elements, ph0sphoric acid; per
acre, &c pounds; fertilizer, per acre, 800
pounds of bonemeal, 200 pounds Of dis
solved bone, ESQ pounds Of dissolved
rock.
Food elements, potash; per acre, 50
pounds; fertilizer, per acre, 100 pounds
Of nuriate; 100 pounds Of sulphate,
400 pounds of kainit, 900 to $500
pounds of wood ashes.
Nitrogen is obtained cheapest in
tankage, phosphorus in dissolved
rock, and potash in muriate of potash
or in wood ashes. This can only be
suggestive. Different soils will require
these elements in different quantities.
The only way for man to know
just what his orchard needs is to de-
termine by experiment. The orchard
might be divided into sections and a
mixture of different proportions ap-
piled to each section. From the re-
suits Of this man might be able to
determine just what his orchard needs.

Mrs. John w. Cox, wife Of New

institute. one Of the best known

Gov. Hoch Of Kansas is an ardent
Methodist. Since his going to To
peka as governor he has been much
in demand as speaker at church af-
fairs Of different denominations. The
governor feels even more at home in

POINTERS ON cURRANTs.
How the Horticulturist Will Be Able
to Realize Profit Out Of
His Crop.

Says q small fruit-grower: Growing
currants, taking one year with another,
is very satisfactory, providing shipping
facilities are good and pickers easily
found. A strong clay loan with a
northern slope is probably the best
soil and situation for currants. The
plants require space about four feet
BY six, but will require an annual
thinning, which should be done by cut
ting out some old wood each time
and thinning new growth.
The varieties mostly grown are Red
Dutch Prince Albert, Victoria, Presi-
dent wilder and Cherry. There are no
other varieties suitable for certain To-
cations, but generally speaking, the
ones mentioned do well almost any
where. In growing currants the long
season Of cultivation has a tendency to
eyaporate great deal Of the moisture,
and it is good plan to get the ground
well filled with humus, in order to of
set this tendency. Mulching is prac-
ticed to some advantage by some grow
ers. but this depends on. circumstances
and IS controlled by the amount Of
valuable mulch:ng material.

KILLING MAY BEETLE.
Damage Which Is Done to Orchards
May Be Checked by Use Of
Arsenites.

FROM some sections there is always
complaint of the May beetle or June
bug on account of damage done to
fruit and shade trees. The only means
of practically combating them is by
spraying with arsenites, says the
Prairie Farmer. Some recommend
Earring the beetle from the trees in
the early morning and combining them
in catchers that they may be destroyed
later. On account of the fact that the
beetle comes from brown-headed
white larvae which in one form or an
other remains in the soil for three
years before it finally develops into a
full-fedged beetle, investigators rec
ommend that thoroughgoing rota-
ton Of crops be adopted so that a
vigorous cultivation of the soil is as
sured. In this way many Of the grubs
will be either destroyed or else turned
up to the surface, where they will be
devoured by birds that find them ap-
petizing.
In cases where the larvae are seri-
ously affecting the lawns liberal sprays

How Wasps Preserve Fresh Meat.

How Wasps Preserve Fresh Meat.
That remarkably self-suficient in
sect, the huntress wasp, knew how to
preserve fresh meat for the use of her
children long before man invented. his
canning processes. 'The huntress
wasps" capture spiders, administer to
them an anaesthetic sting that leaves
them alive but unconscious for a
period of about two weeks, and then
:'cans" them in the tubular cell where
she deposits her eggs. The preserved
spider lives just long enough to fur
nish fresh meat to the young wasps.
These mother wasps are not only
skilled in the arts and sciences, but
are most valiant hunters. Even the
dreaded tarantula succumbs in fear to
wasp of q large and handsome
species known as tarantula killers.

Thought She Couldn't Live.

Wilson, highly respected resident Of this
place, come very near losing his wife and
now that she is cured and restored to good
health his gratitude knows no bounds.
He says
MY wife has suffered everything with
Sugar Diabetes. She has been sick four
years. She doctored with two good doc
tors, but kept growing worse. The doc
tors said she could not live. She failed
from 200 pounds down to 100 pounds.
This was her weight when she began to
use Dodd's Kidney Pills, and now she
weighs 100, is web and feeling stronger
every day.
"She used to have Rheumatism 80 bad
that it would raise great bumps all over
her body and this is all gone, too.
"Dodd's Kidney Pills are a God-send to
those who suffer as my wife did. They
are all that saved her. We can't praise
them enough
