WHEN THE BRIGHT LEAVES FALL.

Sve the time when the bright leaves fall,
When the children sit on the old stone wall
Cracking and eating the sweet new nuts,
And throwing the shells in the roadside ruts
The autumn days the days for me.
They may be Short but they're full of glee;
And short days bring US the evenings long
For reading and study. or mirth and song
Delightful gifts have the autumn hours
The brilliant vines. and the snowy flowers
The moOnbeams witching the noont!des kind
The woodland treasures thut rambers find.
Something for cleaners In every field!
And see what the vineyards and orchards yieldi
The season whose charms shall my praise employ
Is the season that brings the harvest Joy.

Horses from Royal Stables.
One Of the most interesting studies
in the Interstate live stock and horse
show held at St. Joseph, Mo, was
found in the exhibit of shire horses
from the royal stables Of King Edward
and Lord Rothschild of Sandringham,
England. St. Joseph was fortunate in
securing this stable as 1t had not been
the intention to exhibit the horses this
side Of the Atlantic except in the kings
dominion, Canada. Louis F. Swift Of
Swift & Co., was influential In pre-
vailing upon Manager Beck, repre-
sentng King Edward. to exhibit the
horses, in two United States shows,
viz. at tho Interstate In st. Jo-
seph and tho American Royal at
Kansas City. "Our object in bring
ing the horses to this side Of the
Atlantic was primarily to stimulate in
terest in the big slilres with the Cana
dlans," said Mr.. Beck. until within
a few years the shire has been too
scarce and high priced for the general
run Of breeders. They are still high
priced, but are coming within the range
Of general breeding and are a profit.
able animal to breed for the big draft
trade" These horses are fine speci-
mems of the thoroughbred shire and are
attracting much attention and favor
wherever they are being shown. They
are all great, heavy boned, thick mus
cled animals whose very carriage and
bearing and spring motion when in ac
ton announce them as something
above the ordinary in horse flesh.
Rest Preparation for Wheat.
If l could have my choice of ground
to SOW on, says a Pennsylvania farmer,
would choose a field where a heavy
clover sod, or where cowpeas had been
plowed down and potatoes raised the
present year, using at least l 500 pounds
high-grade fertilizer on the potatoes
The potatoes having been kept clean,
and dug in good time, would not pillow
for the wheat, but harrow at least four
or five times. and then drill In the
wheat, drilling with it 400 pounds OF
good fertilizer, with at least per cent
quickly available nitrogen, y per cent
phosphoric acid and per cent potash

Cheese-Making Gardenipg.
Cheese making has been shown by
recent bacterial research to be a sort
Of gardenlng-an inverted gardening,
in which the plants are grown Tor the
sake Of modifying the soil. The Pc
culiar qualities and favors of the DIFF
ferent cheeses have been proved to be
due to the growth of various species
Of bacteria and molds In them. And It
has been found possible to produce the
faver Of the required cheese from the
milk Of any locality by introducing the
appropriate plants. In a recent paper,
for example, c. Gorini shows that the
familiar red and green patches which
'chara cterize Gorgonzola cheese are the
combined work Of special mold, and
species Of bacillus. These organisms
are introduced as the result of artificial
punctures, made In the process Of man
ufacture.

The Selection Of Seed Cora.
There Is no time which Is put In to
better advantage or which fetches q
larger return than that devoted to Sc
tecting the seed corn during the latter
part Of September and the first half Of
October. The advantage which secur-
Ing the seed ears ut this time has over
the ordinary method Of selecting at
Ddsking time lies In the fact that a
rhoice Of the earliest maturing ears
can be made, a distinction that Is i'm
possible when all Of the crop Is ripe
and ready to husk. Fer all the north
half Of the corn belt that type Of corn
is best which bears Its ears lew on the
stalk. This means as a rule that such
corn will mature early, and while the
ears produced may not be quite so
large as those which one has to reach
above his head after they are much
more likely to produce hard corn, which
will keep after 1t is put In the crib. The
shape and depth Of kernel and form
and type Of ears are Of very trivial i'm
