Cornell Top-Dressing Tests.

This increase of &c bushels of corn
per acre is equal to the average corn
crop of the United States, yet it was
produced, simply by top dressing a
timothy sod. The increase in the hay
crop paid for the fertilizer and left
Il substantial profit. The gain in the
corn crop was all "velvet" except the
cost of handling. Nowhere can we get
better returns than by fertilizing the
grass crop.
Prof. Thomas f. Hunt, formerly of
Pennsylvania agricultural experiment
station, says regarding the above eX-
perimentS:
"Even to the hardened Investigator,
these results come almost as a rcvela-
ton. 1t is all so simple. All that was

Why Are We at war?

Americans as rule, and Vermont
ers in particular are not carried away
by impulse, or to use a more COM
mon expression, edo not go off at
half cock" They want to know
where they are at" They want to
be convinced before taking action.
Americans have not responded with
enthusiasm to the recent call for
volunteers. This is not the usual
spirit. There was no lack of voun-
teers in the Spanish-American war.
The call was responded to by double
the number needed. The recent
government call for volunteers met
with little response, the reason is
plain. American citizens are asking
the question, "Why are we at war;"
President Wilson owes his election
to the slogan, he kept US out of
war" These two contradictory
lines of action have brought about
an uncertain, disquieting feeling
among the American people in gen
eraI. There is not that implicit be-
lief and faith in the call that has
heretofore met with hearty response.
Then, too, the people are carefully
weighing the eloquent rhetorical ex-
pressions given as the cause of our
going to war. A world wide democ.
racy and freedom of mankind are
ideal sentiments, but there is feel
ing that these are not the prime
causes leading us into this world
wide field of carnage. American

DREssINc rotation hay field
does not stop
short with the increased hay crop. Some
plantfood is left behind in the roots and
stubble. When the sod is plowed under,
this plantfOOd becomes available for the
succeeding grain crop, sometimes in
quantities sufficient to nearly pay for
the fertilizer. The agricultural expert
ment station of Cornell university top
dressed timothy sod for a three-year
period. At the end of this time, the
sod was plowed under, and corn grown
without further fertilizer treatment.

ESQ YEARS OF PROFIT
ABLE GRASS

In England there is a park at
the famous Rothamsted expert
ment station, which has been
used as q meadow for more than
two and one-half centuries,
which was used as a hay field at
the time of the Revolution, and
which was In sod when Amer
lea was being colonized. This
park has been top dressed an
nually for the last sixty years.
At the beginning of this period
it was producing about IL tons
of hay per acre. Where fertili-
zers have been used, the aver
age acre yield for 80 years has
been in one case 2.7 tons, in an
other 1913 tons, and in a third
case Al tons, depending upon
the amount of top dressing APP
piled. This Is really wonder
full accomplishment, and should
make those farmers who are
content with thinning" instead
Of farming, with robbing the soil
and year after year getting
smaller and smaller crops, feel
that possibly they are using to
the fullest, the opportunities
given them.

What War Does.

For those who go to war the victory Is not always to the strong nor the race to the swift. One of the seeming ly paradoxical things taught by the conflict between the states was that recruits who seemed to the ordinary observer to be too frail and small to stand the rigors of war almost uni formly developed into tough and reli- able soldiers, often more so than their bulky and athletic brethren. The test of the battlefield has proved that many man who had been timid and considered himself a coward was in reality braver than the swashbuckler who had sneered at him back home. Men who have been disgraceful fail- ures in civil life have been converted in the fire of war into leaders of high ability. ~..t. j. }.,

 Average Man Is Honest.

A banker who, for the first time in his life, has come into intimate con tact with poverty-stricken folk, says |: 'The average man wants only half q chance to be honest. This is 2 thing worth learning. But it did not require visits to the slums to find it out. A little thought would have served as well. The mass of people is constl- tuted of average men. The mass has the power to do whatever it wills to do. 1t could, if it wished, rise in the night and strip the rich bare, and, since it is the mass that represents the majority will, it could, so far as law is concerned, go unpunished. But the average man is honest. The mass wants nothing of bloodshed and rob- bery. Those who possess are.s saft from those. who have nothing. ? Our banker frietid whd visited Poverty RON used his eyes,. His remark shows, that, for most of his years, he hadn't, on this particular subject, used his braias Toledo Blade.

The Egyptian "FeIlah."

The Egyptian "Fellah" is a curious mixture of independence and submis- siveness. He would never consent to the wholesale disclosure of his affairs requisfte under the cooperative sys- tenn. He is as secretive as the Scotch man, as land hungry as the French man. He is in some ways as ignorant and as submissive to authority as the poorest European peasant. He had always obtained ample credit, but at terrible price. For short periods ne would pay 50 and 60 per cent ana when, in 1899, an effort was made to create an equitable asystem of rural credits the average existing rate Of in' terest for all loans was p per cent per annum.N Suspicious to 9 degree, ne had to be approached very diplomatic ally by personal meetings, often re. peated. before he could be convinced of the bona fides of bank offering him money at 8 and 9 per cent. His con fidence was won, however. and ne proved an honest and reliable client.

New York COtt0r.

New York, Nov. 2.-The4 cotton market showed steadier tone early today. The firmer ruling of the stock market was considered an encourag- ing feature while Washington advices were rather more optimistic as to Italian affairs and there was good deal of covering after the sharp break of yesterday. The marked opened steady at an advance of ..1 to 8 points higher after ytne call etaoin etaoin h end sold about 26 to 30 points net higher after the call with December touching 27.3Sc and January 26.74c. Liverpool was buyer and there was
 a fairly active demand from Wall street and local sources with the ad- vance meeting scattered selling on reports of good picking weather in the South. !. Mid-morning reactions, of 10 to IF ponrss were attributed to a renewal of, scattered Wall street selling but the volume of business tapered off on .ne decline and the market was gen. orally steady owing to the bullish av- craze of Southern spOth advices. Prices at midday were about 20 to 30 points net higher with December sell ing at 27.38c and January at 26.66c.
 Trading continued quiet during the afternoon with prices sagging off un- der scattered realizing notwithstand. ing the continued bullish average of Southern spot advances.. December worked down to 27.1.c and January to 26.42c or about points higher to 3 points under last nights closing figures.

Modern Idea of Greatness.

When we ask what 1t is that we mod erns deem to constitute greatness among the men of our own or a com paratively recent time, we feel that the standard has somewhat changed, says James Bryce in:the Youths 'Coh- ipanion. We set less store by monarchs, for they do not f1ll the stage of tile world as they once did, although some of them have still large opportunities for doing good or harm. Neither do We give quite such special honor to inili- tary glory as former ages did. Never theless, the essential qualities that daz- gle the eyes of man may be still the same. l speak chiefly of the greatness that consists in action, for the ruler, the statesman and the warrior do their work in the sight of the world and can be judged by it, whereas the poet or the philosopher may have lons to. wait for recognition, and even . s,l- preme scientific discovery may not be appreciated until long years have been spent in working out it's applications.

Credit fer Other Fellow.

The amount of credit you allow the other fellow to take for his efforts Is the index for your measure. The lit- tie fellow can't stand seeing the other man praised. Ii he has worked in company with others he wants all the glory. If there is any prominence to be handed out he is n perpetual candi- date. The pigmy mind is ever trying to discount the other mans credit. There is so little to him that he needs all the glory he can get, and gets 1t wherever he can. Not so with the big man. He rejoices in the success of his fellows. He's glad to see others rising to his class. In fact, the truly big man sees bigger when he pays trib- ute to those not so big as himself. If you want to be in his class you must not dwarf your worth by being afraid you won't get all that's coming to you. Pennsylvania Grit.

Personality.

The two great obstacles to the healthy development of personality are jealousy and fear, and they are as high and terrible in business as sn any other department of life's actiyi' ties. So long as man harbors envy for any one of his fellows, more es-. pecially his competitor in business. so long will he be devoid of that elixir which personality adyertises. Being jealous of some other man does not harm the other man; it only injures the jealous ole. And if the jealousy be openly expressed. the extent of the damage increases, whilst the object of the envy receives an addition of benefit and value for himself through the gratuitous advertisement. \ man occupied in envyirg another Is using up power which he could better apply for his own progression.

Blind Develop Other sensss.

Blind Develop Other Senses.
 The man who is born blind develops his other senses to degree that seems almost uncanny to sighted people, says a writer In London Tit-Bits. Ills hearing forms one of the principal channels through which he obtains knowledge of what is taking place around him. The slightest variation In sound conveys wealth of informA- tion to him, because he learns to as- sociate these sounds with their origin and the manner in which they are pro duced. For shape and texture he de! bends upon his touch, and the touch of man who has never had sight is wonderfully sensitive and delicate. To find his way about he depends upon hts sense of direction and obstacle. which have become highly developed owing to the fact that he has always been entirely dependent upon them.

Other British seaweeds resides car raeeen moss make excellent eating. Among these are layer, sampnire, giulse, serings, and sea holly. Sampnlre used to be cried in the streets |" London under the name of crest ma rine,n but apparently present-day COS. termongers never sell 1t. Laver tastes tastes as good as spinach, and IS more nutll- tious. Sir James Barrie tells us now w to cook dulse. In "A Window in Thrums" he writes: "Dulse IS roast. ed by twisting it round the tongs when these are fired to a red heat"---a mode of cooking which gives 1t an oysle,, ike flavor.

MEN WAIVED

i. Al . result of the war there Is an enormous demand in all lines of busi- nsas, both public and private. for trained men and women. Leading men of the nation are unanimous in the opinion that 1t is . patriotic duty for men who are not eligible for army service to pursue bus1ness or techni- cal training and 1t themselves for ser vice elsewhere.
 Young men who are not. in the re- lective draft, ane wanted in business positions provided they have the right training. Little Rock and Arkansas business men are begging now for trained help: they need men great numbers of them-and must have them. It Is splendid opportunity for those who will train themselves in bookkeeping. shorthand. and sthsr branches Of clerical work.
 MT. George A. Mclean, President of Draughon's Business College of Little Rock. Ark. advises that tho demand for office help has trebled in v6lune during the last three or four months. and that in August alone, nearly 200 positions were offered the students of his school. A very large majority could not be filled as there was not . sufficient number of trained students available. MT.
