Deep Flowing Essential.

In all dry-farming countries deep
blowing is essential. Equally neces-
sary is the use Of the sub-surface
packer, blade harrow or some other
implement that will pack the furrow
slice firmly against the subsoil.
These two things are essential to the
preparation of good seed bed and
q seed bed which will take up and
hold all the precipitation during the
fall land winter, says the Kansas
Farmer. Generally speaking, too
much blowing and narrowing is done
for the express purpose of getting
enough loose dirt on the surface to
cover the seed. As moisture is para.

The life crew and the men they res

light ship.
The latter had taken refuge in the
rigging of one of the masts when the
ship went down. For many hours they

WHAT MAKES A GOOD TALKER
Doctor johnson Says, Among ether
Things, There Must Be Presence
Of Mind and Resolution.

A man may have the gift of CAB
without being good talker, the Lon
don Chronicle remarks. OF this order
was Macaulay, who had no restful
spaces of silence.
Il WISH" said Sydney Smith, who
could listen as well as talk. Il wish
that Macaulay would see the differ
ence between colloquy and soliloquy"
And on another occasion: "Oh.
yes, We both talk a good deal; but
l don't believe Macaulay ever did hear
my voice. Sometimes when l have
told good story have thought to
myself: Poor Macaulay! He will
be very sorry some day to have
missed hearing that!'" The differ,
ence between the two men was that
between the clever talker and the bril-
liant bore.
But the elements of success in con-
versation will be variously defined.
Doctor Johnson, who must take rank
with the foremost of the worlds great
takers, had his own theories on the
subject
There must in the first place be
knowledge" he said; there must be
materials; In the second place there
must be command of words; in the
third place. there must be magma
ton. to place things as they are not
commonly seen; and in the fourth
place there must be presence of mind
and resolution that it is not to be
overcome by failures; this last is es
Sential, for want of 1t many people

INTERESTING TRICK TO PLAY
Board Projecting Over Table and Cow
cred With Newspaper Cannot Be
Knocked to Floor.

Take an ordinary board, two or
three feet long, such as bread board.
and place 1t on the table so that about
one-third of its length will project
over the edge. Unfold a newspaper
and lay It on the table over the board.
says the Popular Mechanics. Any
one not familiar with the expert
ment would suppose the board could
be knocked off by hitting 1t on the
outer end, it would appear to be easy
to do, but try it. Unless you are pre-
pared to break the board you proba'
bly, will not be able to knock the board
off.
The reason is that when the board
is struck it forces the other end up and
the newspaper along with it This
causes a momentary vacuum to be
formed under the paper, and the pres
sure of the air above, which is about
fifteen pounds to the square inch. pre-
vents the board from coming up. This
is an entertaining trick to play at an
evening party, and also makes SIM
pie and interesting experiment.
