Nabuoo . Versatile Genius.

Ambassador Nabuco OF Brazil is one
OF the most accomplished diplomats In
Washington. II was said by Director
John Barrett OF the pan-American bu-
reau that he could write a treatise on
international law In English with his
right hand and French poem with
the other which would deceive the
critics into thinking II was the work
OF some renowned poet
He was brought up In the days OF
the Brazilian empire In cultured
home full OF the most refined associa-
lions. and he says that the young men
OF his country OF that day spent their
time among books. while now the
young men OF the same age take trips
10 the United States and England TO
complete their education along busl-
ness lines. The ambassador has had
the benefit OF both systems and he
works at his desk standing. present
ing an unusual appearance from his
six feet IN height and military car
riage. lie was an ardent supporter OF
the great emperor aud one OF the last

Winter Manurino.

Some farmers condemn the practice
or spreading stable manure on frozen
land as wasteful and extravagant.
other prosperous men are enthusiastic
IN their praise OF winter manurlng.
This difference OF opinion is based
partly, but not altogether, on expe-
rience obtained under different con
ditions.
/ believe that the opinion that this
method is wasteful Is usually based on
prejudice only.
Manure drawn out and spread from
day TO day I'm winter, on grass lands
especially, have found beneficial. II
retards the melting Of the snow, pro-
tects from the cold winds. and as the
snow melts its juices are carried down
TO the roots, which hastens the growth
of the grass. In the summer this
manure protects the roots from the
sun, and through increased growth OF
the top and the roots the humus In the
soil is increased and the productive
ness OF the soil benefted.-C Farm

lying loose. and several halters were
stretched across the floor.
The owner OF all this material was
as sIovenly with his farming as with
his barn. There was no air OF pros

The owner seemed TO have n place for
everything In the hallway was the
harness. but each set hung on its own
peg. A box near the stalls contained
brush and currycomb. At one end OF
the hallway | found a miniature work
shop and bench. and every tool was In
its place. Horse covers and halters
hung on nails IN their corners, ana
