Editor Home and Farm: After all is said, there is miore ' in the man than thereis in the ground. Some ground becomes 'worn and run down, and gets too poor to set flax without turning it over often. When it ehanges hands, and is cultivated differently, and manured and a fertilizer dppli dpplied - ed dpplied until red clover will take root, then fine crops of grain will grow, and vou will hear some onesay that he did not think there was any anything - thing anything in that on field, when really there is as much in one field as an another - other another if the right man takes hold. There are old men, farmers for fifty or sixty years, who don't un~ derstand how to cultivate corn to make it a success, I know some farmers whe will not plow corn when it is dry weather simply bes cause it has no weeds or grass in it, Their idea is when clean it don't need stiring. But as the dry weather increases, the cultivator should go the more. If your ground is well and deep plowed early, and your ground well me'- lowed before planting, with the proper use of the cultivator there can be fair ecrops made in the drys est seasons. Never plow toe deep atter first plowing, for the roots need compact earth to hold mois moisture. - ture. moisture. Where there is no moisture there is no possible means of plant roots getting a drink,for that is the way they live, and if the one means of subsistance is cut off, how soon you see the effect in parched blades. It don't matter how rich your soil is, 1¢ the earth is not in condition to hold moisture yourlcorn will not grow, I dor't mean water when I say moisture, for this moisture can be obtained to some extent with out rain. lam no scientist to explain how, but part is done by the atmosphere coming in contact with the ground often and not too leng on one surface, I had as soon have rocks in my field as hard clods; they will absorb all the available moisture at night, and the sun will extract it in the day, so the plant is robbed by the de - degrees grees degrees of the supply. Drilled corn will staud cultivation in dry weather with better results. There is a strip of roots that is not bro broken, - ken, broken, and the moisture will meet trom either side to suyply them. If you think it won't, just wry it. Harden cownty, Ky J, Arr, Jr.

'Do you suppose I would come to you and waste my tinie monkey monkeying - ing monkeying around this pill shop if I knew what to take myself?' 'How would some liver pills do?? suggested the clerk, withouta trace of resentment in his tones. 'Liver pills be hanged," answerr ed the patient, most impatiently.

I've drank enough ot that stuff to float the English navy. All I need is a prospectus and a rating on the Mining Exchange to be a first-class divided paying mine. Mineral water is a fraud," and he shook his head with emphasis. 'l'll tell you what to take," ob observed - served observed the clerk suavely. 'lt will do you good. It it doesn't, I don't know what will,!
