Summer and Fall Seeding and
Top-Dressinq.

Many farmers are finding it to
their advantage to seed down during
the summer and fall, claiming that
by so doing they are apt to get a
much better catch" than they do
when they follow the usual practice
and seed down III the spring.
The same is true regarding top
dressing grass land. Some of the
most progressive farmers put ON top
dressing Immediately after haying,
with perhaps small application of
nitrate of soda the following spling.
If you will send your name and p.
0 address to Carroll S. Page, Hyde
Park, Vt, he will send you free,
postpaid, several formulas for mixing
fertilizers especially adapted to top
dressing and fall seeding, together
with prices of ingredients, full direc-
tions for mixing, etc. These iormu-
las have been approved by tie Yer

CHOICE MISCELLANY
DAYLIGHT and Clock Time.

General wonder is expressed that the
daylight" bill, In charge of Congress
man Peters at Washington, has never
been thought of before. When under
stood 1t will be considered an imnova-
ton of great Importance. While be-
ing freely discussed, changes and i'm
provements are Incorporated in the
plans. The latest bill introduced in
the English parliament has been
amended to avoid the complications
which raised many objections to the
earlier one.
The present British plan is on the
third Sunday in April to set all the
clocks forward to 4:45 a. NJ, when the
hands according to present schedule
would point to 3:45 a. M, which would
practically put the clock an hour
fast" as we say, and get workers
and the people all over the country to
rise an hour earlier than usual with
out knowing 1t after the first day.
This would move dill time schedules
along one hour without requiring any
change Of railroad time or schedule,
because the advancing Of the clocks
one hour would be universal. We
should emancipate ourselves and live
labor and enjoy by the natural or sun
time If we adopted the plans proposed
In Great Britain.-C. w. Hall in Ma
tiOnal Magazine.

"In the Bible we're told there was
once a food that covered all the world.
At that time all the rocks were mud,
and the different things that were
drowned were buried In 1t, and there's
a snake that was buried that way.
There are lots of 'em and other things
besides In the rocks and stones here

There is an ancient tale of treaty
between two Greek states by which
one was to return to the other. as a
condition of peace. the half Of its cap
tured navy. The implementing Of this
treaty was accomplished with the saw.
ing of each trireme in two. Whether
all the bows or all the sterns were
given back does not come down to us
In history. Some people proba bly,
think this might be done today. But
diplomacy is as good as the national
conscience.
The welfare Of peoples rather than
the ambition of rulers is the basis of
the diplomacy Of modern times
Medieval trickery has almost disap-
peared. What is wanted today is a
good case for ones country and an
able man to advocate 1t. 1t is very
surprising, then, that there should lin
ger as a heritage from the days gone
forever the superficial and convention
al idea that diplomacy is polite dis
honesty. That the idea does linger in
the minds Of persons unfamiliar with
the subject is fully shown by the abb
surd use Of the word automatically"
as almost synonymous with "disin-
genIously" and the survival of all
such canting and misleading dogmas
as the remark that "a diplomat is an
honest man sent to lie abroad for his

A Walters Revenge.

Summary and effective was the re-
venge Of Spalato waiter who had
been insulted by his employer. Going
to the Socialist club. he enlisted the
sympathies of his comrades, and a
hundred of them went to the restau-
rant where he had been employed and
occupied every seat in the place. 1t
was just before the usual supper hour,
and the place, the principal restaurant
in Spalato, was frequented every
night by the leading officials and
townspeOple. When these regular
guests came there was not room for
one of them, and they had to find an
other restaurant.
The evenings fare was entirely
wasted, as the Socialist visitors took
only quarter Of pint of wine, cost
ing 12hellers, a little more than penny,
and one roll at hellers, or less than
a halfpenny. As each mans refresh
ment cost him only just over half
pence 1t was not dear evenings
amusement.
The restaurant proprietor promptly
apologized to the aggrieved waiter,
and the regular customers found their
tables ready for them the next even
