COVER CROPS ESSENTIAL.

A blanket of cover crops is needed in
An old orchard on sloping land. which
is inclined to grow heavy wood on
the trees at the expense of fruit bear
ing, needs a thick Owe crop, such as
common red OF mammoth clover. In
some successful orchards alfalfa has
been used, and, though it is not gen
orally regarded as a desirable orchard
cover crop, there are instances where
the alfalfa in an old orchard has been
pastured by hogs and has proved an
advantage for a year or two. 1t is then
turned under and the orchard cul-
tivated clean for a couple of season
with winter cover crops of crimson
clover or vetch.
The barometer of the orchard condi-
ton is the growth of wood and the
condition in which fruit is matured.
If the crop is too heavy and is
allowed to sap the ground of moisture
in midsummer the factswill Immediate
ly be noted in slow maturing fruit and
short growth on the terminal branches
of the trees.
Many old trees need to be checked in
their growth Of wood to make them
produce. The abundance of blossoms
in an orchard is evidence that the
heavy cover crop has had this effect

Soldiers Can't See Wives.

by French wives Of visiting their SOL
der husbands at the front has led
General Joffre to prohibit such visits
and warn the husbands Of punishment
for their wives disregard of this or

In Guiding the military guards Is re-
markable in that it is very difficult for
any n~oncombatant to get to the French
lines, even the official war correspond
ents being allowed to go there only
for very brief periods. The following
order was issued by the commander of
one infantry regiment:
Every married man has the duty, as
required by civil law. to strive for the
obedience OF his wife. Therefore every
married soldier must be in a position to
prevent his wife from visiting him.. The
worse for the married men if they have
not sufficient authority over their wives
to enforce the obedience demanded by
the civil law. Therefore they are to be
made responsible for the obedience of
their wives. If in former times a mar
ket woman succeeded in getting into the
army. inasmuch as 1t was not possible to
throw her into prison. her husband was
imprisoned instead, since he was made
responsible for the poor military training
of his wife. That method was not SO
foolish as 1t appears to be at first glance,
and it will be applied again in such cases
as occur.

Of the California are now being let.
The launching Of the Arizona Is X

be urged to go to Brooklyn for the
launching. If he does he will he the

years.
The Arizona will be the fourth of the
great battleships built in the New York
navy yard to be launched, the others
having been the old flagship Connecti-
cut, the Dreadnought Florida and the
super-Dreadnought New York, the last
named the new flagship Of the Attain

THE LEADERS OF MEN

1t is common for the popular mind to accept good
natured easy manner for kindness The fact is such
manner is proof Of the reverse
man of real kindness in his nature is apt to be
rendered irritable in his effort to remedy alleviate the
many and right the many wrongs that beset his
path
Old Samuel Johnson for instance, had the hide Of a
bear and the heart of baby There have been many
such for knowledge Of and sympathy for those who
suffer arouse just Indignation against the wrOngdoer
and make the true humanitarian uncomprOmising and
cOmbative.
The good-natured man is the one who selfshy avoids
all trouble and finding that it is easier to go through life
in harmony with ALL is prolific of smiles and kind words
and is unsparing Of good deeds only when such be
done without Oense to others sacrifice of comfort to
himself
The amiable man who has no views with which to
offend positive characteristics to antagOnize Others
no high ideals for which to sacrifice his support may
hold public office as long he likes in ordinary mes
But he can never be leader of men, or master of con-
dltlons and he fades away in time of stress or peril
Let the student look back over the brief list of men
whom we regard as our eminent statesmen and note the
positive character of EACH and how little any one Of them
was possessed of the weak amabity that supposed to
be popular.
