The difference brtween New

to me, rs this: In New York. u you

ried out at once: In London, " you
have q new idea. you are up against
Q brick wall"
I believe this to be true. writes
Maurice Barring In the Metropolitan.
People In New York, and In America
In general, are not afraid OF new
ideas, nor, indeed, OF anything new.
They are not afraid OF the future. In
England. II a man f,nds, for Instance.
that his profession is unconsenial to
him. however certain he may be or
the impossibility OF his making sue
cess OF II, he will none the less very
rarely give II up. and try his hand
at something else. The future alarms
him. In America man VIII think
nothing OF throwing up his profession
twenty times running. until he finds
something which does suit him.
I think the cause OF this particular
difference lies In the climate OF Amer
lea. and especially lies In the climate
Of New York. Just as the climate OF
some places fills the whole system
with an invincible desire to do moth
ing. with an insuperagle languor and
sloth. In the same way the climate
Of New York fills the body and mind
with the desire to be up and about.
II is the nimble air which produces
the nimble wits: the stimulating At

zen OF New York. the love Of hustle.

most Of the weeds can be turned under

Ing II much easier to plow as soon as
the August rains set in. The stubble
and weeds should be plowed under and
not burnt. as these. when rotted. add
to the fertility Of the soil and tend to

ture. Long stalk or strawy manure
should either be spread evenly over
the field and plowed under or used as
q top dressing after the grain Is
drilled In. II the manure is rotted and
fine, spread 1t on top Of the plowed
ground and harrow It in as soon as
spread. The quickest and most eco
nomical method is to use a spreader.
as It can then be spread evenly and
just the right quantity to the acre.
One of the great advantages in the use
Of the spreader 10 In cutting up the
Jumps and strawy portions as II Is be-
ing spread. Two men with two-horse
spreader will haul and spread more
manure than four men will spread

spread direct from the wagon and har-
rowed into the top soil before 1t dries-
There is then no loss of fertility.

Honor Man Struck by Lightning.


To be struck by lightning Ia still Q
most lucky thing for the Greek peas
ant-if he Is not killed. Such a man,
says ]. G. Lawson. may indulge q
taste for idleness for the rest Of his
life-his neighbors will support him
and enjoy at the same time the rep
utation of being something more than
human" This is an inheritance from
ancient days. Artemidorus. an au-
thority on occult matters who flourish
ed in the time OF Marcus Aurelius,
commented on the fact that while a
place was struck by lightning had an
altar erected upon 1t. and was thence
forth both honored and avoided. mo
one who has been struck by light
ming is excluded from citizenship; In
deed. such one is honored even az
a god" The election OF Quintus Ju-
Illus Eburnus to the consulship In 1l6

Wordsworth On Real estats.

There is an interesting story Of
Wordsworth. who went to call on Miss
Harriet Martineau at Ambleside. In
the house which she had built and laid
out, writes A. c. Benson in the Gen.
tury Magazine. There was . gathering
Of neighbors present. and Wordsworth
stood for q long time at the window
contemplating the beautiful landscape
outside. Then he turned to the party
and said:
Miss Martineau. I congratulate you
on your beautiful little domain. The
views are wonderful. and 1t will turn
out to be the wisest thing you ever did
In your life"
He paused for q moment. and the
guests expected some comment on the
uplifting effects of communion with
nature. but Wordsworth, with Q 1ne
gesture. continued:
your property will certainly be
trebled in value within the next tan
years."

Horses for Ooep PtoSwlno.

Deep plowing is essential to good
farming to increase fertility and mois-
ture for better crops. Heavy draft
horses. says the Live Stock Journal.
are the irst essential for deep plow-
ing and big loads. Deep and shallow
blowing has had long time con-
troversy and the deep plowing has
won the victory for better farming
by the scientific experts at the agricul-
tural colleges, and farmers who have
good draft-horse teams plow deep.
and the farmers with light scrub
teams must still skim along and put
up with light crops until they can get
the heavy draft teams that can pull
a big l6-inch plOw down TO the beam
that will produce big crops.
