My brother and I had come to spend
the winter in southern France. At our
hotel there we're also Prof. Baines
who had come for a 'rest. cure,". a
Mrs. Wynne, tall, fair young woman,
whose husband was in India, and her
'curly-headed son Bobby, brimming
over with high spirits and energy.
Finally, Colonel and Mrs. Lille, an
Anglo-Indian couple, friends of Mrs.
Wynne, made up a most agreeable
party.
Occasionally we combined and
made party to visit some old village
or monastery in the neighborhood; !;
and in order fifty to celebrate Bobby's S
seventh birthday we arranged an ex.
pedition to .Vidarry, a venerable town
near the Spanish frontier: This was
an excursion of a more ambitious
type, for we travelled by rail. Having
exhausted the sights of Vidarry we
made our way to an inn where we

examined the apartment, and discov-

little proprietress (Madame was a

months, from July Is, 1905, till the
end of June 1906:r. i:

There are several things of interest
and of practical Importance in this
table, The land has been much i'm
proved, increasing in yield from one
and 4one half tons to five and one-half
tons. The manure plat gave. an aver
age yield of 1854 pounds of hay per
acre more than the commercial fer
tilizer plat; yet the value Of the crop
was only $5.18 higher than that of the
fertilizer plat, on account Of the light
cost of the stable manure. But this
small money gain is in addition to the
great improvement to the ground ag-
riculturally by the use of stable ma
nure as compared with the CONNER
cial fertilizer. For while the soil of
the manure plat is rich with decom:
posing vegetable matter, and soft and
velvety, the fertilizer strip was hard
and compact and liable to suffer in
times Of drought.
The conclusions drawn are:
Il. Both systems Of manuring were
highly profitable.
20. Large crops of grass can be
grown upon soils of this class. provid-
ed that sufficient plant food is sup
piled for the needs Of the crop.
"3. Stable manure, when applied to
meadow land in the fall and thor
oughly narrowed in the spring, be-
comes so .disintegrated and incorpor-
ated with the surface of the soil that
it is not raked gup with the hay when
| the hay is harvested.
"a. The use of stable manure, even
when valued at one dollar per load
when spread upon the meadow, was
more profitable than the use of COM
mercial fertilizer.

Experiments in the Manuring of Meadow Land

+ Some recent experiments in manur-
ing meadow by the West Wiz
ginia: university agricultural expert
ment station, are not only interesting
but will prove zof alue i a "a guide
to.'those who are trying to improve
their own land. -. ~
Much of our meadow land, which
should be most profitable, has/ been
neglected to the extent that, instead
of yielding four or five tons of good
hay to the acre, they yield, oftent1mes
but little over one and half tons:
The experiment reported in this bulle-
tin shows how an unfertile upland
meadow was made to produce an av-
erage> of more than three. tons of hay
per acre, the yields gradually increas-
ing from a trifle more than one and
one half tons per acre the first year
to maximum of more than five and
one-half tons per acre the last year.
Condensing the report as much as
possible, we have the following, Civ
ing kind and amount of fertilizers
used:
1900-Plat I-25 (two-horse) loads manure
per acre cost 81, spread: Plat I'D 200

A Recipe for Happiness.

A college man who entertained re-
Gently at smoker" for six of his
chums confided to his sister that he
would like something different from
the ordinary place cards. And this
is what he found on red cardboard
panels done in india ink at each place
resting against small stems of Aus
trian ware. This clever recipe was
illustrated with neat little sketches
sprinkled over the panel in most at
tractive manner. Each chap declared
them worthy of a frame or at least
'passe-par-touting." The recipe for
happiness is as follows:
To make it-Take a hall dimly lit,
A pair of stairs where two may sit,
Of music soft bar or so,
Two pairs of-just two pairs-you
know?
OF little pats, one or two,
Or one squeezed hand instead will do;
A waist the size to be embraced;
And two ripe lips-rose bud-to taste
And if the lips are soft and sweet
You'll find your happiness complete
