~Thousands of British farmers stand face to face today with hopeless ruin unless help comes from some quarter outside their control. Tens of thou sands of laborers are suffering now and will suffer still more during the coming winter from the c1rtaflment of employment, and all signs point to the fact that the prosperity of the British horticultural community has suffered a blow from which it will take years to racnver,'s

Every farm has it's limitations. Most farmers also have theirs. Each one of us, if he is going to attain any sort of success, must work close up to the line of these bounds.
 But he isn't wise if he undertakes to overstep the limits. An insufficient charge of powder in the cartridge will fail to drive the ball with killing force. An overcharge may burst the gun and blow off the gunner's head. It's some times better to miss a woodchuck than to spatter one's own brains over the landscape.

Of course, the bigger the acreage, big acreerage all does well. But it's better in the end to make ten dollars off a single acre than to lose a dollar an acre on fifty Just that is what often happens when we try to do too much. If the season proves favorable, we shall come out all right, anyway. But how are we going to know plant ing time, what the following months are to be? It is all well enough to hope for the best. But 1t is wiser strategy to prepare for the worst. Such preparation will not cause us iany harm. if the year proves benefi- cient: it may save us from sorry dam age in the other event.

A Modern Beau Brummel.

All this went with the habits of a man
Of fashion, a faneur, whose careless
grace of manner was nearer the pattern
of Beau Brummel than Of the prosaic
age in which he lived, a raconteur whose
mots were quoted in the lobby and in the
salon, in the club and in the train.
Nor does this exhaust the complexity
of the mans character. Somehow or
other he managed to impose himself
aristocrat as he was, the nephew of a
peer on the men of the awl and last
at Northampton. He retained the re-
gard of the nonconformists, despite the
fact that he was one Of the most daring
gamblers of his day. finally giving up
cards mainly because his success at
them became a bore.
OF the robustness of his radicalism
there can be no question. One OF his
members of parliament would have had
to be elected by the popular vote. That
would have at a stroke sent their lord
ships packing to the country. He was a
thick-and-thin home ruler. and when
twitted with little Englandism he ac-
cepted the stigma as a badge.
His lineaments were the delight of the
eartoonist. The curiously upturned
brows the antic flicker of the eye. the
sharply barbed beard. were facile to the
him as the Voltaire of his time and
meter: the sardonic spirit who should
dissolve the solemn pretenses of life in
the acid Of his satire. II such was his
aim. he did not succeed In 1t, as, IN
deed no man could. But the measure of
his success was greater than that of any
man of his day. and at this hour there
are probably many of the humbugs he
assailed who feel the air freer for his
passing. Their relief becomes in turn
the measure of the debt owed to him by
his country.
