for an acre of tomatoes. The cold

OF the field in which the plants are
to be set. Set up 1x2 plank on edge
all around the edge of the frame, let

The New York Medical Journal says
that there is decided reduction in the
number of medical students as CON-
pared with the immediate past, and at
tributes it TO arbitrary standards in
medical education" The decline is
probably due to the fact that during
the past decade there has been great
outpouring of young doctors from the
various medical schools, with a rapid
multiplication Of shingles" of practi-
toners and a corresponding splitting

Of trade says:
'.While there are a few bad or
uncertain spots in the business sit
uation, they are not sufficient to
change the generally cheerful and,
in some respects, brilliant outlook.
The movement in iron and steel Is
SO tremendous, reaching at some
points to practically full capacity and
resulting in instances of premiums
paid for prompt delivery that the
only doubt cast upon it by anybody
is that the pace may be too fast. The
reports from the principal cities and
especially the eloquent statistics OF
rapidly expanding building opera
lions, confirm these figures. The
foreign trade is unsatisfactory in
view Of the decreased exports and in
creased imports, but it should not
be overlooked that the former is the
result in part of the more rapid adj
vance in prices here than abroad,
while the big imports testify to the
increased spending capacity Of our
people,

Result OF Scientific Farming.

A forthcoming circular of the

dict the prevailing impression THAI
the fertility of the soil of the coun-,
try is wearing out, but will show
that, Notwithstanding the abandon
ment of farming districts in the
Northeast, not only is there an in
crease in the total volume of crops,
but an actual growth in the average
yield per acre under cultivation. This
result is obtained by restoring to
the soil those elements and COM
pounds needed and consumed by the
different crops.
The well-informed farmer of the
present day does not blindly send
his plants out to grope for their
food; but sees that it is supplied
them in proper measure. Recent
discoveries in bacteriology have
greatly assisted the planter, enabling
him to obtain bacteria, with which
the growing plant may be inoculat-
ed and by which the nitrogen of the
air is fixed in form available for

SHAH Smiling Be Made Mandatory?

Shall Smiling Be Made Mandatory?
Is there no peace in the world for

smile, smile, smile from morning till
night whether one feels like it or
not?
Faddists say the dinner table joke
is the best aid to digestion and pro-
notes domestic peace. When dull
care intrudes, laugh it away. If
your neighbor flies to wrath because
your cocker spaniel chases his fowls,
dissolve his anger with smile. In
short, keep on smiling.
And now comes new social dis
ease which this panacean smile Is
guaranteed to cure. AS If man had
not already crystalized his features
into perpetual grin, he is now ad-
vised to smile to prevent his COM
hitting suicide! This new doctrine
is advanced by writer in medical
publication. "Play, smile and don't
kill yourself is the slogan in brief.
Let us harbor still kind thought
for the man who refuses to smile at
society's behest. Not that anyone
would discourage smiling; merely
let us not make the rule mandatory
At least, permit the poor fellow some
little option as to when and how
much he shall smile-Cleveland
