Turning Vegetable Tops.

Certain agricultural papers are advo-
eating that all vegetable tops be thrown
on. the ground and plowed under when
ever convenient; the potato plant is es-
pecially recommended for this treat
ment. for the potash contained In the
plant. While there is some advantage
to be gained in the method suggested,
especially with the potato plant, the
main advantage of the plan is the
amount Of humus added to the soil and
the plan is all right so far as the tops
of vegetables which the farm animals
will not consume are concerned, but
with any vegetable tops that can be
consumed by any of the stock 1t is
much more valuable In the form Of
manure, to say nothing Of the value

NOEL'S DREAM.
BY Louise Octavian.
The Leslies had just moved, and
this was the children's first night
in their new home.
They say" said Freida. "the first
dream in a new house always comes
true!"
Lets all remember what we dream
and tell each other in the morning"
suggested Noel.
They thought that would be great
fun. and went quickly to bed. at
breakfast they questioned each other
eagerly.
"Well," said Guy, 81 guess my room
was too hot, for dreamed there was
lot of blankets over me. and l
was trying to pull them off, but there
was some one on one side that said.
Take 'em off, and some one on the
other side, Keep 'em on, and didn't
know what to do"
"If you were too hot, must have
been too cold,' said Frieda, for 1
dreamed that the King of England
came to my bedside, all dressed in
his coronation robe, and with hot
water bottle in his hand!'
II dreamed it was the day of Miss
Leigh's musicale" began Noel. "Her
house was all trimmed with flowers
and ferns, and the girls were in white
dresses, and the mothers and sisters
were there. And I played my piece
so well that all the people clapped
and cheered and waved their handker-
chiefs, and asked who l was. Then
Miss Leigh said, This is my most
brilliant pupil" And the people
whispered, Noel is the best piano
player in this town."
There's no danger of that coming
true" said Frieda. Its more likely
that the King of England will bring
me hot-water bottle"
Noel went away greatly offended,
and did not speak of the dream again,
but in his heart he felt assured
that 1t would come to pass.
He played we'll for little boy, and

QUEER WAY TO PAY FOR PIC
TURES.
Cassel is perhaps the only town in
Germany with distinctly American
chapter in its history and yet it is
seldom visited by Americans.
Once upon. a time there lived in
=Cassel the Landgrave Frederick II.
OF Hesse. He seemed to have been
very amiable sort of prince, with a
level, practical head on his shoulders.
He loved his capital city, lying in the
mountain-cradled plain. and he could
lock out of his palace windows any
fine morning over the waters of the
Fulda, which wound its lazy thread
under the city walls. He divided his
time between improving the town
and amusing himself. In Cassel
squares were laid out, streets cut,
buildings erected, while up on the hills
at the castle of Wilhelmshohe, the
Landgrave held court, where ladies
fair and gallants bold united to do
him honor.

Then from over the seas came news
of wars and rumors of wars. The Amer
lean colonists, impudent rascals, had
revolted against the King of England,
and the Landgrave pricked up his
ears. At last, one fine day, Frederick
II. in Cassel received a communica-

result was that several thousand loyal

Green Food for swine.
Keep Humu. m Orchard soil.

Neep Humus IN Orchard Soil.
The soil Of the orchard frequently
becomes exhausted without the owner
suspecting it. In many orchards the
grass Is moved and made into hay.
This removes annually certain
amount Of humus from the ground. In
the meantime the trees themselves are
removing humus by their roots and
putting 1t into fruit and foliage. The
fruit is carted away, and the leaves
fall to the ground. These leaves do
not get back into the ground to form
humus, MS they would in state of
nature, but are driven by the wind into
windrows, and then raked up and
burned by the orchardist, intent upon
improving the appearance of his Or
chard, or of destroying the insects and
fungi that are on the leaves and twigs
mingled with them.

Green Food for swine.
Don't feed all the unstable potatoes
and the pumpkins to the cows and
horses, but give the swine enough to
keep their appetites in good condition.
Take large pumpkin and divide it
equally into ten pieces; cut up each
piece until it is us large us ones hand.
Then take two quarts of unstable DO
tatoes and quart of bran. Mix the
lot, moisten it well with skim milk, and
give this quantity to each hog once a
day for month, and you'll see a de-
cided difference In the way they will
take on fat when you are ready to
put them in that condition for the fall
markets. As we have said before in
this department, it pays to give the
swine variety as much as any of tho
farm animals.
