When you add to all the chances for mistaken sight which outside inter ferences produce the fact that most of have old hobbies and prejudices which affect our mental states, you've got a condition which is almost unequalled for seeing things wrong and for lead ing us to tell things which aren't so.

moon and they didn't do anything. Next year he put them out in the young of the moon and he had a whacking crop Thereupon he adopt ed it as a rule for planting that it must be done in the young or the moon. He did the rest of his life. He actually thought ali his neighporS were dunn fools if they Cidn't do the same Sometimes he had dots of kuBes an1 sometimes he didn't have any,- same as other folks,-5ut he never wavered in his belief that they simply must be planted in the young of the moon.
 And there was Uncle Ike Shearman. On one particular patch, he used to raise strawberries, big, luscious and by the bushel, years when the rest of us could get nothing but culls and mighty few of those. He declared and believed that it was all due to his free use of wood ashes as a fertilizer. Wood ashes didn't work that way with oth- CTS; they didn't with him, when he tried to start a new bed in another field. But that made no difference with his idea. He began by using wood ashes and he had fine luck, so he kept on wood ashes plot after plot as long as he lived, and preaching that as the one sure way to get strawberries. Sometimes he had good crops on oth- CT plats; sometimes he had failures on these new plats; but. because he never had failure on the original wood ashes plat, he stuck to, that medicine for all plats, everywhere, till he died Apparently, that original plat was rich in all the essentials for strawberry growth, except the potash and lime which wood ashes supplied. Other plats had potash and lime enough, but needed some other element of plant food. Uncle Ike snorted disgust when such an idea was suggested. He didn't hold with none O them new-fangled notions. He'd seen what he'd seen, and he knew what he knew, and that set tied it. If wood ashes didn't produce good berries it was because the wind had blown 'em off, or the rain had leached 'em out, or there hadn't beer enough put on.

Somebody once remarked that it tsok mighty smart man to tell the truth. I don't remember who it was said this, but he was a philosopher.
 He didn't mean that it took a smart man to be willing to tell the truth, or to want to tell the truth. Most of us feel that way. What he meant was that it took a clever fellow to know the truth so he could be able to tell it.

You see, science is simply the knowledge of observed facts. Theory, to be of any earthly value, must be only an attempted explanation of ob- served facts. When you've got your facts, got 'em straight and got 'em all then you are at liberty to build a theory to explain them if you choose. But when you make up a theory out of your own head, out of what you think ought to be the facts, out of par tial or wrong observation, then you're just trying to build an ai~-castle on a fog bank. And no matter how cun- ningly you may build such a struct- ure it will blow away with the first breath of the morning breeze

Some guns go off at half cock, and so do some men. In a business like ours, which deals chiefly with ornery dirt and weeds and similar common place facts there is liable to be a good deal of harm done by knowing things that ain't so'' and by acting according ly. As long ago as when Paul was writing to Timothy there was a "science falsely so-called." There is, still.

practical. But it is essential that we practice in alliance with the truth, or we shall get no forrarder than a gee having team with a blind driver. It is well for us to be as scientific as we know how,-provided we'll be sure to keep well inside that know how"
 Above all, seems to me we ought to be open minded, all the while and on all sides; ready to receive and adopt truth from any quarter, whether 1t is truth that we expect or truth that seems to knock our preconceived ideas silly.
 It isn't things as they might be or as we think they should be that we need to know, but things exactly as they are. THE FARMER.
