by turning in green crops. The proper
system is to use fertilizers when the
manure is insufficient, but any farmer
who will plow under a green crcp
every year, and use lime on the land
will gradually enrich the soil.
Every pound of food that cveates

Burbank. the Farm Wizard.

II one had chnnccd TO bc walking
along country road in Massachusetts =
some forty years ngo. he might have
seen n small. slight lad searching for
something In u potato patch II he
had stopped TO watch. he would have
seen tho boy throw himself down on
the ground and weep bitterly because
he could not fnd that for which he
searched. And the traveller would
probably have been greatly surprised.
II he had asked. to ind that what the
boy was searching for was not stray
penny. or q long.cherished Barlow
knife. but the pod from ono OF the po-
tato vines.
After several days search. Luther
Burbank found the potato pod. 1t
Rose potato. Potato pods arc not com.
mon. Burbank had read that they
were very rare on the Early Rose
vines. From the one he found he
planted the seeds. and one Of the seeds
produced q potato which has since
been famous rs the Burbank potato.
The boy sold the potato to New Eng
land seed merchant and went West, 10.
eating at Sebastopol, California, about
seven miles from Santa Rosa. On his
farm there he has grown flowers that
never fade. cactus that has no thorns,
n prune that has no stone, and many
other strange products which have
made his name famous among horticul-
turists,. and. more recently, well-known
to many people who could not tell bar
ley from wheat except by the taste.
And the best part of 1t is. that every.
thing this mar Jelous man produces
must be Of practical value before he
considers It worthy of being given to
the world. Thousands of plants are
yearly destroyed because his labors to
improve them have proved vain.

Tale of Orange Blossom.

The wearing Of orange blossoms at n
wedding is accounted for in various
ways. Among other stories Is the fol-
lowing popular legend from Spain: An
African king presented Spanish king
with a magnificent orange tree, whose
creamy, waxy blossoms and wonderful
fragrance excited the admiration Of the
whole court Many begged In vain for
a branch of the plant and a foreign
ambassador was tormented by the de-
sire to introduce SO great a curiosity
to his native land. He used every pos
sible means to accomplish his purpose,
but, all his efforts coming to naught,
he gave up in despair.
The fair daughter of the court gar
dener was loved by young artisan,
but she lacked the dowry which the
family considered necessary to bride
One day, CHANGING to break off a spray
of orange blossom, the gardener
thoughtlessly gave 1t to his daughter
Seeing the coveted prize in the girls
hair the willy ambassador offered hel
sum sufficient for the dowry, pro
yided she gave him a branch and said
nothing about it. Her marriage was
soon celebrated, and on her way tt
the altar, in grateful remembrance Of
the source Of all her happiness, she Sc
cretly broke off another bit Of the
lucky tree to adorn her hair.
Whether the poor court gardener
lost his head in consequence Of hill
daughters treachery the legend doe
not relate, but many lands now know
the wonderful tree, and ever since tina
wedding day orange blossom has beer
considered a fitting adornment for
bride.

BLIND ON THE MORAL SIDE.

In this new era when men get rich
by making something out of nothing,
the moral sense of what are called
high financiers seems 10 be wholly
wanting. That fact has been estab-
/ lished by Mr.. Lawson. and it is being
recognized by Mr.. Jerome. District At

address before the Merchants Protec-
, tive Association, Mr.. Jerome said:

should be detected and found guilty.

they are no better than Larry sum-

LOBBYING AND E,IBRAcERY

The best way to make decent

wealthiest counties in the State is IN

HE WENT AND GONE AND DONE

The Gastonia Gazette publishes a
story of physician of that town who
wrote to a New England magazine in
response to an article which he had
read therein pointing out the great
need of hospitals in the South. In
his article the physician, doubtless
thinking of the great number of fac
tory people in his county. referred to
the need there and suggested that If
Northern philanthropists were seeking
to invest their capital in the South that
they might properly begin at Gastonia'

is said by the Gazette to be promi-

from the boorishness of his reply, his
ignorance as to how much cotton Gas
ton county raises for themselves, and
the fact that the personal equation is
absolutely necessary to judge of any
thing from around the Hub, the COM
munication is chiefly remarkable for
the disjointed tenor of it's diction and
the execrable quality of its grammar.
We have become accustomed in large
measure to the idiosyncrasies of both
New England ministers and Boston
editors. They have many times before
slandered. ridiculed. misrepresented
and patronized the South; but hereto
fore be it said to their credit they have
done so in language both precise and
erudite. The thing in hand, however,

physician in question would prefer to
keep his dollars for the nearest hospit-

all contribute a mite towards giving
the minister-editor a high school edu-
cation if he would promise to take it.
