Asabri head of the great banking
house of Asabri Brothers, in Rome,
had been a great sportsman in his
youth. But by middle age he had
grown little tired, you may say; SO
he looked now with favor upon auto
mobiles, motorboats and saddle horses.
Almost every afternoon he rode
alone in the Campagna, covering
great distances on his stanch Irish
mare, Biddy. She was the hand
soonest horse in Rome; her master
was the handsomest man. He looked
ike some old Roman consul going out
to govern and civilize.
One day as he rode out of Rome
he saw that fog was gathering, and
he resolved. for there was an mex
haustible we'll of boyishness within
him, to get lost in it. He had no
engagement for that night; his fam
ily had already left Rome for their
villa on Lake Como. Nobody would
worry about him except Luigi, his
valet.
"Biddy," he said after a time, IN
English, this is no common Roman
mist; It's a genuine fog that has peen
sucked up from the salt sea. You
can smell salt and fish. We shall be
lost, possibly for long time, There
will be no hot mash for you tonight.

He sat in silence for moment and
the three young men examined with
great respect the mans splendid
round head, and his face of Roman
emperor.
"Whose tomb is this?" he asked
them.
"It is ours said the one who had

Without embarrassment the young

and kissed each other, once, slowly,
with infinite tenderness.

headlights piercing the darkness. The
champagne was no longer in his
blood. He was in a calm, judicial
mood.

for mere matter of hundred and
fifty thousand lire a rich old man

Sowing Rye in the Corn

Some have already sown rye in the
standing corn for late fall, winter and
early spring pasture, and finally to
lie allowed to grow up for harvest or
to be plowed under.
This practice is Of such Importance
to successful farming that you will
bear with me for repeating the ad-
monition to SOW rye. Probably twice
as much rye will be sown this fall as
last. This is because farmers observe
the success of their neighbors and are
determined TO profit by it.
Rye pasture will be of special value
this fall and winter because pastures
are so short now on account of dry
weather that they need a chance to
grow up as much as possible in No
,ember and December.
Rye pasture should pay several
times over for the seed and the work
OF putting it in; then the value of rye
to prevent washing away of the soil
on hill sides in winter is hard to esti-
mate, and the amount that grows up
to be plowed under is worth several
dollars a ton as fertilizer.

INTENSIVE FARMING
Conducted by FRANK S. MONTGOMERY, MS,
Instructor Animal Husbandry, and Special Investigate
Fall Flowing

The prolonged dry weather has
made all fields so dry and hard that
fall blowing will be practically impos-
sible until a good soaking rain comes.
But as soon as sufficient rain falls all
possible haste should be made to get
the blowing done, for several reasons.
In the first place it is Of great i'm
portance TO have a good supply Of
moisture in the ground TO terminate
and start the growth of the young
wheat or rye. If the blowing is de-
layed until time to SOW the grain the
hard surface will cause much of the
ain to run off into the branches and
creeks; but If it is plowed and well
rulverized as soon as possible after
cat harvest il will absorb the rain as
it falls and occasional narrowing af-
ter rains will hold moisture in the
soil till it is needed by the crop.
1t is also of great Importance to
have the soil well pulverized as deep
"a 1t is plowed. II no blowing is done
till seeding time this pulYerizing will
