The Laws Of Friendship.

The laws of friendship are we'll
known. They have been codi-
fed and acknowledged from
Socrates down.
These are some of them: CD
To find perfect friendship two
persons should have similar tastes
(2) they should be of the same
blood or nationality (3) they
should be of one religion, (4) they
should be of the same position in
society, of the same rank, class
or condition of fortune, 90 they
should have the same or similar
interests, (6) their natures or
dispositions should be unlike.
These laws are perfectly true,
they are drawn from human ma
ture, they are consecrated by the
authorities of the sages.
There is only one difficulty
with them-every man and wo-
man on earth is an exception.
In the case of each one of US
these laws are made for all
others except ourselves.
For when the friend comes he
overfows the channels of the
expected as the Mississippi is a
spring freshet; he enters our
preconeeived magazine of no.
tons as bull enters a china
shop; he minds the fences of our
philosophy as a giant might mind
the fences of our farm.
He comes as a fever comes, as
madness or mood. He is
bolt from the blue. He is snow
in summer. He is a bolt from
the mystery of personally, which
no man can fathom, and speaks
to our own inner plumbless deep.

Washington.-PrcS,. ent Wilson has

SMALLEST PAINTING
ON GRAIN OF CORN
Artist Receivers Remarkable
Landscape.

painting studio is at Wilmington, Del.
has. despite Il lifetime spent in paint
ing subjects in heroic size the unique
distinction Of having made the small
est landscape painting in the world.
1t was executed on a grain Of corn,
and the painter has only now recover
ed it after having lost possession of
the picture for more than forty years,
in which it has Travelled from art cen
ter to art center through Europe, at
tracing wide attention as the tiniest
painting on earth.
Charles y. Wise, dead many years
ago. but who had a wide reputation as
a painter i'll his day. declared the grain
of corn landscape to be a masterpiece
of miniature painting. Having lost
track of the picture. which he made
in 1869, when he was only nineteen
years old. Schultz decided recently 10
try to recover it.
He advertised in several foreign
newspapers. with the result that the
wee landscape came to him in its Origi-
nal frame few days ago. the painting
in color and line being as sharp and
clear as on the day of its execution.
The particular grain Of corn used
came from an ear that Schultz as Il lad
plucked on the estate Of James Bu-
chanan. fifteenth president of the Unit

gone there to attend the ex-president's

Fall Flowing.

Flowing early in the fall liber-
ates more plant food for the
spring crop and conserves more
moisture By loosening the sur
face soil, thus allowing the air to
penetrate, the soilparticles which
contain phosphorus, potassium
and lime are caused to oxidize,
which sets free these elements
for the plant. The soil compounds
originally are very complex and
are practically of no benefit to
the crop until they are acted up
on by the air, the solution in the
soil and plant juices, so as to de-
compose them and make them
much simpler. Fall blowing
has a tendency to let the rains
percolate into the soil better,
which tends to dissolve and break
up the compounds for the use of
the spring crop.
Bacteria, which are found in
the soil in countless numbers,
generally work better where OK
ygen from the air is readily
available, and there n turn
break up the organic matter of
the soil into simpler compounds,
liberating nitrates of nitrogen
food for the plant. This is one
of the most essential elements
for the early growth of the
plant. 1t is often noticed that
spring blowing will not cause
crops to lodge so badly as fall
blowing. This is explained by
nitrogen being set free to a larg-
er extent in the loose, porous,
fall-plowed than in the more
compact soil.
The moisture problem is also a
valuable one from the stand
point of productiveness of soil.
AS stated above, by opening up
the soil, the fall rains percolate
much more rapidly into the soil,
while there is a mulch formed on
the surface which tends to pre-
vent the water from the subsoil
going directly to the surface and
being evaporated. Early fall
blowing makes reservoir of the
subsoil, storing the water for the
crop in the spring. Often where
the ground is a little rolling, the
water will run off before it has
time to soak in when the soil is
compact and hard. Those who
have practiced summer following
know that it increases chances
for a good yield the following
season, and this is largely due to
the liberation of plant food in
the soil and conservation of mois-
ture. Fall blowing is very sim
liar, only the soil has not quite
so long to bring about these
changes as in case of summer |
following. Where possible, it is
nearly always advisable to pillow
as early in the fall as possible. :
