WORTHY OF HIS REPUTATION
Farmer Willing to Allow Cider &c Be
Tested, But Only In Way He
Approved.

In ali glorious New Jersey it is gen
orally admitted there is no cider to
equal that of Farmer Marshall. But
he is notable for other things besides.
It is said that he would very much
rather receive than give-in short,
that he is stingy old rascal.
Young Peterson had heard this, but
he was young man who had consid-
cradle faith in his own powers of pass
ing on the gentle hint, and to some
sportive companions he had boosted
that he would get drink of cider out
of the old man without asking for it.
AS such thing had never been known
to happen in living memory there were
plenty of takers and the next day Pc
terson drove over
Morning, farmer!" said he. Fine
orchard you have here"
"Ay," said the farmer.
They tell me, too, that you have a
fine press"
'Ay; it's the best in all Jersey"
Pretty good cider you get, ] sup
pose-eh? But l dare say I've tasted
better"
Not in your born days. Tom
this to his son-'get an draw mug
O. cider"
The luscious beverage was brought
and with smile of triumph young
Peterson held forth his hand to take
it.
But the farmers hand got there
first He drained the mug and then
handed it to the visitor.
"There!" he remarked. IF you think
you've ever met the like of that cider
just smell the mug!"

LITTLE TALK DID THE WORK
Pastor, of Course, Had Only Good of
Congregation at Heart, but He
Got Monetary Results.

At the end Of the first six moths of
his pastorate, Rev. Amos Johnson had
learned the ways of his flock so thor
oughly that he knew exactly how to
deal with them. One Sunday the col
lection was deplorably slender. The
next week Mr.. Johnson made a short
and telling speech at the close of his
sermon.
Il don't want any man to glib more
dan his share bredren," he said gent
ly, bending toward the congregation,
but We must all glib according as the
Lawd has blessed and favored us, and
according to what we rightly hab.
Il say rightly hab, bredren," he went
on, after a short pause, because we
don't want any tainted money in de-
box. Squire James told ne date he'd
missed some chickens dis week. Now
if any OBJ my pore benighted bredren
has fallen by de way in connection wild
dose chickens, let him stay his hand
from de box when it comes to him.
'Brudder Leroy, will you pass de
box while l watch de signs and see if
deres anyone in de congregation dat
needs me to wrastle in prayer for
him.-Youths Companion.

This is only one side of the ques-

indulge their boys too much and

fathers should buy their boys books

Some boys are born for one purpose

Continual faultfinding makes a

INCREASING HUMUS IN SOIL
It Can Be Seen by Figures Given
Herewith That Task Is Not an
Easy One to Do.

Much soil is lacking in humus and Of
this condition a great deal is being
written. The reader is likely to con
clude that he can, within a very few
years. build up a large humus con-
tent In his soil. It can be seen by the
following figures that this is not an
easy thing to do. 1t has been found
that not over ten per cent. of the
organic matter plowed under can be
figured on as being converted into
humus. The surface eight inches of
the average clay loan weighs approx
imately about 100000 pounds. TAX
ing the humus content as five per
cent. You would have 100000 pounds
to the acre. If the farmer should
ever turn under four tons of organic
matter per acre annually. ii would
take a very long time to build up a
large humus content.
Fifty years would be a short time
in which to accumulate humus to any
extent. and even longer time would
be required If one removes crop
from time to time. From these figures
one should not conclude that the ad-
dition of humus to- the soil is not
highly desirable, for 1t is. 1t can be
seen, however, that at the most we
can do but little more within our
short lives than to maintain the hu-
mus at a certain percentage by fire.

ACROSS THE HEDGE
By CARL JENKINS

mo, mum. but you see, the sudden
ness of 1t must have astonished him."
And the suddenness of it will as
tonish him again! | don't know Mr..
Folkstone from a bean-pole. but I'm
down on him. He's evidently come
to town to swell around and be top
bud on a tree. When he came along
yesterday he was mincing like
schoolgirl, and / hate a sissy man.
Get the hose ready and then find
something to do at the barn That
plug hat is in for another duckingi"
Perhaps Mr.. Folkstone had two silk
hats-perhaps he had got the drenched
one ironed At any rate, within half
an hour after Miss June was on
watch she saw it bobbing along above
the hedge again, and once more a
stream of water shot into the branch
es of a tree to come down like April
drops.
No threats from Mr.. Folkstone this
time. He simply opened the gate and
walked in, carrying his soaking hat in
his hand. He was smiling as he bowed
to the astonished girl
"You-you-" she began, but could
not finish. Mr.. Folkstone was no
swell. He was no -baby-no sissy.
He was a fine-flgured, athletic young
man, and his face and voice showed
character.
Excuse me, please" he said with
a half-laugh and another bow. but do
l speak to Miss June Freeman"
Yes, SIR

Miss June Freeman was called an
odd girl. She had dcrc one odd thing

she disliked him, and now she did an
other by holding out enc hand for the
letters and another for shake and
saying:
Il ought to be awfully ashamed OF
myself, and | am, but | am going to

dOns for my silly conduct. and il you
will call this afternoon | will make
further apologies"
He called and perhaps that was the
very best way the acquaintance could

DIET FOR THE TUBERCULOSIS
General Idea That Too Much Food
Cannot Be Given, Is Shown to Be
Erroneous.

Many traditions with regard to the
feeding Of tuberculosis patients and
with regard to food in general, are
given severe blows in a series Of ar.
ticles published in the October num-
Der of the Journal of Outdoor Life, the
official organ of the National Associ-
alton for the Study and Prevention Of
tuberculosis. DR.. John K. Murlin of
New York, assistant professor Of
physiology at the Cornell university
medical college, holds in an article en-
titled THE Dynamic Principles of MI
triton that q cOnsumptive will gain
weight and do well on three pints of
whole milk, eight ounces of cream,
five ounces of milk sugar, six eggs and
two slices of buttered toast as ra-
ton for "a hours. The entire diet,
with the exception of the bread and
butter could be prepared In advance
and served for a cost of about fifty
cents for the day. Miss Cecilia Flick
of the Henry Phipps institute of Phil
adelphia also offers some sample diets
which the ordinary family can prepare
for even less than fifty cents a day
DR.. David R. Lyman of Wallingford.
Conn, and DR.. Paul B. Johnson Of
Washington, D. c., both agree that
the ordinary person eats too much,
and that the old notions about stuffing
a tuberculosis patient at all times and
seasons have been proven false. Dr.
Lyman holds that eggs are not a nee
essary article of the consumptive's
diet, and that a tuberculosis patient
should eat anything that agrees with
him that is nourishing. He thinks
that a tuberculosis patient should eat
only a little more than a person in
ordinary good health.

Lickino the Wound,

Charles H. Duncan. New York, ad
vances the view that in cases of sep
sis, vaccination can be accomplished
by administering by mouth to the pa.
tient a small amount of the dis
charge from his own wound. The
author cites as an example of nature
working by this method the fact that
animals lick their wounds and that
they never have septic wounds eX-
cept on the head. where they cannot
lick them. Autogenous vaccination by
the mouth tends to be curative in all
stages of sepsls, but is especially
prompt in the earliest stages, when
the germs have not become virulent,
and in the later stages when the in
fected area has been well walled off.
The author has used this method for
two and a half years with good re-
suits. He believes it is the simplest,
oldest and most natural method Of
curing wounds. Record.

Broom Corn.

The 1911 crop of broom corn. grown
exclusively in three or four states, is
only so per cent. that of a year ago,
owing to severe drouth in the west and
southwest during the growing period.
The leading producer is Oklahoma,
with 100000 acres, followed by Kan
sas, with $4,000, Illinois. 5000, others
scattered. The total yield is placed at
$4,000 tons, against $1,000 tons in
1910. The price TO growers is sub
stantial,y higher, best broom corn be
ing contracted in Illinois around $3.50
to s175 per ton, against S100 to 1925 a
year ago.

desirable fishes and molluscs.
