who was an enthusiastic lover of ma
ture went To- the seaside for holiday,
and approaching a typical fisherman
said:
"Ah, my friend, how well YOU must

seen the sun sinking in such glare ol
glory that il swallows up the horizon
with fire? Have YOU not seen the mist
gliding down the shrinking hillside
like a specter?"
And, very excited and throwing out
his arms, he continued:
Have you never seen. my man. the
moon struggling to shake off the "ag-
ged, rugged storm cloud
The fisherman replied, NO. sir;

In three years be had increased
this number three or four-fold.
He made arrangement with the
livery stables j n t b e country
town four miles distant to keep
the manure hauled away from
their back door and for five years
all his spare time both winter
aud summer was devoted to this
task.
The manure spreader was not
known At that time, but he con
tinued to pile the manure upon
his acres by the forkful, until
his n~eighbors began to make fun
Of him. Some Of them declared
that be would destroy his farm
by makingi it "mauure-s sick, but
the Pennsylvania man smiled and
kept his wagon going 70 the
livery stables and back I o the
farm with its heavy load.
He was among the first farm

spreader when they came in

An OLD apple orchard on the
place at one time consisted OF 500
trees in good condition but the
Pennsylvania man found less
than 100 alive and many OF these
were choked with sprouts and
injured by insects that they bore
nothing.
He cut down the dead trees

WASHINGTON, Sept 1.-Folowing it's
announcement of the population of Brook
lyn today, the census bureau will tonight
make a statement of the population of
Greater New York as developed by the
recent census. No intimatlon as to the
exact figures has been given out, but 1t is
known that the census bureau has pre-
pared an estimate of growth, based on
the increase shown between 1900 and 1906,
which was something over 80 per cent, by
which the present population would be
over four and half millions-in exact
figures 4,563,eO4. A gain OF 80 per
cent for such a center of population will
