which the girl made an effort to grasp,
but she was more successful when his

She threatened to scratch and bite,
but as he offered no resistance the

there is as much difference between it
now and as it was formerly as there
is between day and night. The freez-

OUR SOIL Fertility.
How It May Be conserved-Clover
PloWed Under the Best Means
Of Supplying Humus.

There is great decrease in the fer
tility of the soil where crops are con-
tinually grown and removed from the
ground with nothing returned, says
writer in Farmers Review. There
never was a time when crops grew
more abundantly than now. 1t is not
due to the fertility of the soil at pres
ent, but because of better cultivation
with a view of conserving moisture for
a time when it is most needed by the
growing crops, and by better and more
careful selection of seed. I think
humus is the one element most
lacking in most of our corn
land. This can be replaced quick
er and in greater quantity by growing
clover than by any other process.
Clover not only furnishes humus, but
puts our ground in better physical con-
dition, which is absolutely essential.
1t also aids in preparing a good seed
bed, when the ground is not in condi-
ton physically, and the plant food
which it contains is not available for
the plant. It also furnishes nitrogen,
another element much lacking in most
of our corn lands. Another reason why
we should rotate with clover is be-
cause it loosens up the subsoil, deposit
ing it close to the surface, where it
can be more readily taken up by the
corn plant. Farmers are beginning to
study the condition of their ground
but are not restoring the fertility as
fast as they should. They are begin
ming to grow clover quite extensively,
but clover alone as fertilizer will
only last for short time. Sooner or
later they will have to use phosphorus
in connection with clover.
Raising stock and feeding more
grain than you are growing is most
apt to keep the land from losing its
fertility, but I doubt il it is most profit
able on our high-priced land. 1 think
under present conditions. grain farm
ing is more profitable than live stock
raising, provided we rotate with clover
and add little phosphorus in the
shape of ground rock phosphate to our
land occasionally. I do not mean by
this that we should exclude live stock
altogether, but with our land selling
for from $3.50 to $175 per acre, we can
not see any money in raising cattle.

told of the new French president is
one relating to banquet at which he

from his pocket, and a neighbor said
he thought it was two-franc piece.

and he whispered to that individual
to. look out for the money. Later on
M. Fallieres was seen by his neighbor
to let a two-franc piece slide down
gently on to the floor. He explained
to his friend that he had found that
he kept only coppers in the pocket
from which the piece supposed to be
two-franc had dropped, and SO, in or
der not to Tdisappoint the waiter, had
dropped on. the floor what was really
two-franc piece. He thought he had

yards of lace insertion.
The second blouse shown is in white
spotted muslin. The upper part is
gagged to form three round puffs.
then the center front is gagged just
above the bust. The frills of muslin
that are carried from the waist back

yards of lace Insertion.
The third blouse shown is Of blue
print mercerized lawn. The yoke of
lace is cut with deep scallop in front.
The lawn for the blouse joins this
without fullness. The two frills which
join the joke are hemmed at the edge:
the upper frill is continued all around
the yoke, the under one is carried I'M
der the arms. The pulled sleeves
have one frill attached; the one that
is attached to the yoke falls over this.
The elbows are gathered into tight

On the first natal day of each child a
tree is planted, and each succeeding
year the same custom prevails.
When the tenth birthday is reached
real festival is held, and the tree
planting is made the feature of the
occasion. There is procession
around the lawn, and the birthday
child is permitted to choose the va
riety of tree to be planted, and, If
possible, it is obtained. Oftentimes
there is tree guessing contest of

Three miles away, across the bay,

this we headed. They gained on us
more and more. We could hear their

another, and this time it hit squarely
