One of the best corn crops that I
saw last year was made or a crimson
clover sod turned down and no ma
nure at all applied. But the land
had had and d good rotation
for many years and q been making
good crops of corr and wheat through
the gradual building up Of the hun0s
in the soil, and the field of 80 acres
made nearly 5000 bushels Of shelled
corn, while land right alongside that
has been worked in a less systematic
way did not make over 50 bushels per
acre and had fertilizer applied.

Disk PlOWS.

The disk piOws are excellent IN
some soils. Their chief advantage, it
seems to me, lies in the fact that you
can pillow land that is too hard and
dry for a moldboard pillow. On soft
mellow ground they do not do so well.
You can pillow as deep as you choose
with them if you use team enough.

The American business system,
which gives mere boys responsible po-
sitions before they have acquired prac-
teal experience, is to an Englishman
quite unaccountable. He wonders
whether it does not cause reckless
trading and Wild speculation. In other
countries they prefer to keep elderly
men in responsible positions because

In the good old days they used to
have signboards at the crossroads in
the country region to point the pilgrim
on his way. 1t was always a CHEEKY
sign. 1t spoke a welcome to the stran-
ger. 1t indicated a disposition to be
helpful. But these signboards are
nearly all gone. Only now and then
you see one, and then 1T seems like the
relic of a bygone friendship. 1t seems
to say to the stranger: I'VE once took
an interest in you, but we do so no
longer; II you don't know the way,
what do we care?" That is the stu

There should be little signboards to
greet him, and to tell him the way he
ought to go. This thought is getting

where there is an effort to restore the
siCnboards. and to give to the stranger
the help of knowing where he is.

are alike, and 1t follows that no set of
hard and fast rules can be made to APP
ply to each distinct personality. The
man or woman who passes through life
alive to the blessings which abound on
every side rarely ceases to become an
active contributor to the lives of others,
and as long as a person actually par
ticipates in any work. large or small,
the influence of his personality is
bound to be felt and his counsel re-
garded 1t is only when one has tired
of the game, or enters only half-heart-
eddy into affairs outside of his own
special interests that he ceases to ex-
ercise any influence, and his indivtdu-
ality Is no longer recognized. Enthusi-
asm seems in some way to be an at
tribute of the youthful character; at
any rate, 1t is far easier to become in
terested in what is going on in our i'm
mediate circle when the pulse beats
high and the blood courses warmly
than in later years when so many of
us are concerned only with our own af'
