It would be idle to deny that the

proportions Of paStime among us.
We no longer drink only when we are

by our fellows to promote good fell

to escape from boredom; we drink
when we are merry and we drink
when we are depressed. In short, we
drink much and often.
Each has his favorite tippe. Tea,
that mild distillation Of the Orient, Is
the beverage of gossip and literature,
suggesting placid rumination and a
quiet setting. Soda, ginger beer and

The secret of this indulgence in

to be found largely In the fact that

The cow pea Is large beanlike
plant that produces large amount OF
forage. 1t Is valuable as a green food
or for plowing under for green ma
nure. 1t has been used successfully
for improving wornout soils, especially
those that are light and sandy in tex
ture. It's greatest advantage for this
purpose Is Its ability to gather nitro
gen from the air and mineral elements
from subsoil. When the crop Is plow-
ed under, these are left near the sur
face, where they will be available to
shallow-rooted crops and those which
cannot get nitrogen from the air. 1t
has been little used for hay In the
North, because 1t cannot be readily
dried In this climate. 1t makes good
green feed for milch cows between
August Is and September Is, or 1t may
be preserved in the silo by mixing
with corn fodder. For green manur-
ing, the seed should be sown broad
cast In late June or early July, at
the rate Of one and half bushels per
acre. 1t is especially valuable for
growing in young orchards. When
wanted for fodder 1t should be sown
In early June. in drills 21a feet apart,
at the rate OF one bushel seed per
acre.

ROthschiId's Rules.

The greater financiers or business
men frequently give to the public
wise maxims for success. But 1t Is
not always definitely known whether
these maxims were formulated when
the particular Captain of Industry
was a barefooted boy selling news
papers or since arrival at the pinnacle
Of fame.
It is, therefore, the more interesting
to read the rules formulated before
final success by Rothschild-the Roths-
child, the man who founded the house
and was Europe's greatest financier.
He placarded the walls of his banks
and counting rooms with maxims.
Here are a few Of them
Carefully examine every detail Of
your business.
Be prompt in everything.
Take time to consider, and then de-
eide quickly.
Dare to go forward.
Be brave in the struggle of life.
Make no useless acquaintances.
Pay your debts promptly.
Learn how to risk your money at
the right moment.
Employ your time well.
Be polite to everybody.
Never be discouraged.
Then work hard and you will be
certain to succeed.

Shallow cultivation conserves the
ing from the surface. Every time rain
falls the loose ground absorbs more
than does the hard soil, as the letter
permits the water to flow off When
the rain goes down into the soil, and
the soil is then loosened, the capillary
tubes are sealed and the flow of water
upward Is arrested. A loose top soil,
therefore, not only permits of securing
a large share of water from each rain,
but also retains 1t.
