on this farm yielded 40 bushels per
acre while the ordinary yields of the
neighborhood were but 20 to 20
bushels.
Sheep are a prominent factor. Last
year 800 western lambs were bought
in the middle of August at cents, and
put on grass. A month later they were
turned into 20 acres OF corn whore
they remained until December. They
got few ears at first, but Mr.. Mills
estimates that they ate 400 bushels in
all. They also had catch crop clover
and third crop clover, besides Is tons
of clover hay, and made a gain of rs
pounds per head. The selling price
was $715 and the return $3.50 after
deducting market expenses.
Sixty fall pigs got another 400 bush

$50 bushels husked from it, indicating

pigs sold last may at $40. The sheep
have thoroughly cleaned this place of
weeds, besides returning a good profit.
What the Income Means.
There are three kinds Of live stock
and five or six sources of income.
Only 1854 worth of corn was sold in
three years, while horses were sold
to the value of SSO5. No hired help is
kept regularly. and very little is re-
quired except at haying time. Thor
ough work is apparent everywhere.
The buildings and yards are orderly
and attractive. There is comforta-
Bile and elegant modern house. It is

thinking and toll have developed lit

Returning Plant Food to Soil.
Twenty acres are in permanent
blue grass pasture. and the other
three equal fields are rotated to corn,

fed on the place, and only about
three years in 20 has corn in any
quantity been sold. More corn is
bought than sold. Half of the 20
acre field in corn was MANFRED last

Is acres in all were covered with
manure, including clover straw, this
year. The So acres of cultivated
land was covered with 81 tons Of

Sandalphon.

Have you read in the Talmud of old.
In the Legends the Rabbins have tod,
OF the limitlesS realms of the air;
Have you read 1.-THE marvellous story
OF Sandalphon. the Angel of Glory.
Sandalphon, the Angel of Prayer?
How, erect, at the outermost gates
Of the City Celestial he waits,
With his feet on the ladder of light,
That, crowded with angels unnumber-
ed,
BY Jacob was seen, as he slumbered
Alone in the desert at night?
The Angels of Wind and of Fire
Chant only one hymn, and expire
With the songs irresistible stress
Expire in their rapture and wonder,
AS harp strings are broken asunder
BY music they throb to express.
But serene in the rapturOus throng.
Unmoved by the rush of the song,
With eyes unimpassioned and slow,
Among the dead angels, the deathleSs
Sandalphon stands listening, breath
less,
To sounds that ascend from below
From the spirits on earth that adore,
From the souls that entreat and inn
plore
In the fervor and passion of prayer:
From the hearts that are broken with
losses,
And weary with dragging the crosses
Too heavy for mOrtals to bear.
And he gathers the prayers as he
stands,
And they change into flowers in his
hands,
Into garlands of purple and red
And beneath the great arch Of the pOr-
tai,
Through the streets of the City I'M
mortal
Is waited the fragrance they shed.
1t is but a legend / know,
A fable, phantom, a show.
OF the ancient Rabbinical lore;
Yet the old medieval tradition,
The beautiful. strange superstition,
But haunts me and holds me the
more.
When ! look from my window at night,
And the welkin above is all white.
All throbbing and painting with stars,
Among them, majestic, is standing
Sandalphon, the angel, expanding
His piniOns in nebulOus bars.
And the legend, feel, is part
OF the hunger and thirst of the heart
The frenzy and fire of the brain,
That grasps at the fruitage forbidden,
The golden pOmegranates of Eden.
To quiet it's fever and pain.

HISTORICAL BOOMS.
Frenzied Finance on the London Stock
EXCHANGE.

Amid the Stock Exchange boom
by day it is interesting to recall some
of the old ones. The last great boom
the Stock Exchange enjoyed. or suf-
fered. was the South African boom
in that year the shares of the Rand
Mines were at about A. De Beers at
81. East RandS - and Gold Fields
10: by the end of the year they were
those at which they opened it. with
Rand Mines at about 10. De Beers 81.
East RandS and Gold Fields Q. In
that year chartered shares rose to
about Q. and fell in three months to
about 3: i'm the present Rhodesian
boom they are booming round about
;. II was during this great boom of
1895 that several members of the
stock Exchange were arrested for
causing obstruction by dealing i'm

Stock boom, 1885: New Company
boom. 1925; East India boom. 177O.
and the South Sea Bubble. 1920.
The bank share boom of 1865 was
caused partly by bank directors ma
nipulating their shares to make the
credit of their banks look good: the
bears had their revenge and
brought about the collapse. An out
come was the Overend-Gurney crash
of 1866. the firm going under on the
real Black Friday with liabilities
amounting to E19.OOO,O00 and the
bank rate rose to 10 per cent.
Tho memory of the railway mania
of 1S45 lives. of course. in history.
The kingdom was to be riddled with
railways. and more than twelve hun
dred new railway companies were
formed i'm a few months. Not half
these companies lived even long
enough to pay the deposit which the
government demanded on granting
the concessions; they went into liqui-
liability then. every unfortunate sub
scriber for even one share was liable
for the whole of the debts of his
company.
In the great boom-a general
boom-of 1925, caused by the reduc-
ton Of the interest on the funds and
the consequent desire of the public
to put it's money into more remunera-
tive channels, the number Of compan-
les known to the Stock Exchange was
raised from 1856. with capital of
4S.000.000 to 624, with a capital of
1912, 100000. Mining companies ap-
peared for the first time, and among
the miscellaneous companies formed
one had for its object the manufac-
ture Of gold, but it was found that
the expenses would be double the
product That hitherto has been the
fate of processes for the manufac-
ture of rubber.
OF course. the first, greatest and
most disastrous Of all bOOms was the
South Sea Bubble Of 1920. We can
not suffer such booms nowadays,
thanks to the spread Of education,
the facilities of communication and
and widely disseminated financial
criticism. The stock Of the South Sea
company was quoted in Change alley
in April. 1920, at 1926: by August 9
the price was 1900. Then the bubble
burst 1t brought down not only
the South Sea company, but such
companies as Welbys Golden Mines.
Radish Oil, Extracting Silver from
Lead. Transmutation of Quicksilver,
Italian Padlocks. Extracting Butter

riage from Divorce, Air Pump for the
Brain, Perpetual Motion and others
Of the kind. The beggar had specu-
lated and her ladyship had pawned
her Jewels to come to the city to
speculate. But the story of the South
Sea Bubble has been told and pic
tured over and over again. Com
mentators have made much of the
fact that one company was formed,
with a capital of half a million. "to
carry on an undertaking Of great ad-
vantage. but nobody to know what 1t
is" There is nothing very remarka-
BILE in that. In spite Of our advance
since 1920. people are today paying
high premiums for shares introduced
to the Stock Exchange-shares of
prospectusless companies the objects
Of which are almost as vaguely de-
fined-London Daily Mail.

The World Language.

We have frequently expressed the
opinion that the artificial and manu-
featured languages which nave achiev-
ed some popularity Of recent years
were really unnecessary in view of the
universally of English. Our opinion
has received unexpected confirmation
from Count Kielmansegg, the govern
or Of lower Austria, who in opening a
new school near Vienna remarked that
English, which will be specially studied
there, is the most important language
in the life of business man. Latin,
he said, Is all very well for scientists.
Spanish will not take one very far,
French is excellent for evening parties,
but every one ought to know English,
for it is a world language and indis-
pensable to travellers. This is very
handsome testimonial and quite unex-
pected from an Austro- German, but 1t
is absolutely true. Barring, perhaps,
the pronunciation, English Is one OF
the easiest languages in the world, and
can be picked up by all nations. Sir
Richard Burton used to say that with
seven hundred words at his command
a man ought to be able to get along in
any language, and as he spoke some
thirty tongues, he was an authority on
the subject. With seven hundred words
Of English a man can go anywhere, and
the grammar is so simple that the per-
plexities Of many other languages do
not arise. The Vienna school, however,
proposes to go much further than this
and to give it's pupils real knowledge
Of English, and we may well feel flat
tered by the compliment.-London
Globe
