Did you select your own seed this
year or merely resolve to do so and
then forget il? II takes seed 20 raise
crops and you may be sorry when the
time comes. An ounce of prevention
is worth one pound Of cure. The
man who has land and no seed will
be like the man with fire arms and no
powder, unable to shoot. He will
have to take any old powder he can
get. and what he gets may be worth
less.
The one-crop man will eventuallv
strike snag Diversity, live at home
and make your principal crop a mon
ey crop Do not mine the soil. Give
il square deal Never rob il. but
make a fair exchange Whenever
you take out nitrogen, phosphorus
potash. etc, in one form. be sure to
replace il in another form. If Texas
land could tell the story Of it's abuse
farmers would be astonished You
would not attempt 10 starve animals
or work twenty-four hours a day and
get results. neither can you starve
your land or mine 1t and get the
best results.

A PASSING INSTITUTION.
Importance of the Livery Stable g
Thing Of the Past.

That long, low, rakish structure
which, until yesterday, as it were, and
as far as the memory of the average
man runneth backward, abutted on the
main street or main travelled highway
through hamlet, village, town and city,
and was known to resident and stranger
as livery stable, has either passed OF
is rapidly passing from the scene. The
passing has been SO gradual as to have
been scarcely noticeable, and one is
surprised to realize that this institu-
ton has passed, or is in the last stage
of its passage,
Few can recall exactly when the
signs, "Livery and Boarding Stable, ~
" Livery and for Sale -" Carriages and
Buggies for Hire and so on, ceased
to have interest, so gently have the
former days merged into the present
1t seems no time at all, when one be
gins TO think about it, since one paused,
before passing the street entrance to
the livery stable, TO let brougham, a
victoria, landau, laudaulet, a phae-
ton, buggy, a trap, or sulky pass
IN or pass out.
In the summer time there was always
the livery stable proprietor sitting IN
tilted chair on one side of the archwav
and town character sitting III tilteG
chair on the other, and there was the
physician Just turning in his horse, OF
the preacher taking his out, or the pol
ihcian calling for his rig or the
drummer planning for q road wag
on and a driver for tomorrow morning
at 6; and inside there was the stamp
ing of feet in the stalls, the munchinG
of feed at the manger, the neigh Of

was center of democracy. Every man,
of any consequence, dropped into it and
left his opinion with the livery man,
or with one of the hostlers, or with
one or more of the regular patrons or
sitters, at least once in the course Of
the week There was no better place,
in any neighborhood or small communi
~, a few years ago, for guaging the
trend of popular opinion, than the iv-
cry stable office, with its hospitable
drum or straightdraft stove, would hold
the company until the livery man arose,
yawned, and said he guessed he d make

Nobody appears to have noticed Che
gradual disIntegratlon of the ''ban
crowd > in politics and few, as has
been said, seem to have observed the
gradual disappearance of the long, low,
rakish building that was a stable be
low and hayloft above, and that was
never complete without a weather vane
outside and goat within.
In It's place we have the garage; in
stead of the ordor of hay there is the
smell of gasoline; instead Of the hostler
| there is the chauffeur; instead Of the
| family carriage there is the AUTOMOBILES
There is nothing in the garage TO in
vite sitters or TO hold a group of COS

| of hospitality, so characteristic of the
! livery stable, is absent; the garage i
no more inviting, as an evening resort

scent of leather, the clanking Of bits

voice of the hostler, and the whinny Of

Air Service Of the Army.

The vital problem of aviation IS or
gaulzation. To maintain a fleet Of TO-
000 airplancS in the field would require
the service of at least 10000 men in
the war zone. At least 10000 would of
necessity be skilled air mechanics, ma
chine-gun adjusters, and the like, eff
cient mechanics in trades which are at
present almost unknown in America
Before they could enter on active sery-
ice the whole 100000 would have to be
built into reasonably smooth-running
! military organization Building UP the
service independently would not suffice;
1t must needs be built into the army.
An air service - not a thing in it
self; It is an integral part of an army,
and 1t IS effective IN just so far as it
renders service to the other branches,
the infantry and artillery. To appre
ciate the complete subjugation of the
aviation 10 these other arms one need
! only consider the disposition of the
aerial units in either the French, Brit
/ lsh or German armies. In the French
army each army corps has its own es-
cadrllle; If the corps goes from Alsace
to Belgium the cscadrile goes with
IT, There is an intimate personal rcIa-
ton between the aviation commandant
and the infantry and artillery comman-
ders of the corps.
The work of the escadrille is based
wholly on precise orders that come
from staff headquarters. Groups of
heavy artillery likewise have their own
escadrilles; if there is concentration
| OF heavy guns in a sector there is a
| corresponding concentration Of artil-
| iery squadrons. n trench warfare an
army corps is the largest movable unit {;
the term ''army = is applied to desig-
nate certain sector of the front. For
each army there are Il number of esea-
| drliles de base, of the same composi-
ton as the army corps squadrons, aud
which serve as reinforcements for the
| latter while they are III the sector. In
addition each army has one or more
hghtlng Squadrons which provide pro
lection for the reconnaissance machines
In the sector and are used to carry out
by themselves long range reconnais-
sanceS.
Each group Of armies, likewise, has
It's own fighting escadrilles which are
shifted about to brace up the army
escadrilleS III sectors where there is hot
lighting. This already complicated re
alton between land and air units is
still more closely knit together by the
selection of observers. Each escadrille
has its own complement, and in addi-
ton each infantry and igat artillery
