The soil, after a few years’ cultiva- "ftion, needsa renewal of humus,-â€"that Eis, decomposed or decomposing VOgB‘ Ltable matter. The original supply are :hausted, the once moist, loose, friable soil of the prairie becomes dry, hard, tlumpy and unresponsive to the tillers art. Such soils are often pronounced worn out. L And so they are so far as =exhaustion of humus,â€"-vegetable mat-~ tcr,â€"organic matter,â€"â€"is concerned, but not in the inorganic elements of ‘vegetable growth which are the most --expensive to procure and the most difficult to replace when once really ex. hausted. Many a. field bearing the reputation of being exhausted needs only a new supply of humus to make .it as productive as ever, apd how best to utilize for this purpose the organic ‘wastes of the farm is one of the 1mâ€" portant problems, not of the near fu- .’ture but of the very present time. Slipâ€"shop methods, based upon the treputed inexhaustibility of the 5011, .has brought grief to many an energet- ic tiller of the soil who used brawn ,merely or used it out of proportion with brain. ,.

London “Outlook.” From a merchant’s oflice stool in New- gate street to the unchallenaed headsh: ' of the English-speaking stage is an cpi3 toms of the career of John Henry Brod- ribb, now Sir Henry Irving, Knight, LL. D., whose appearance this week on the boards of Drury Lane in Sardou’s “Dante” is the event of the London dramatic sea.- son. But how much between! The early strugglesâ€"bordering at times on priva. :ionâ€"oi this stage-struck Somerset lad; his hard but invaluable nine years’ up. prenticeship in the provinces in the o d “circuit” days before the actor’s trade had become a profession; his triumph in “Hunted Down,” which attracted the no tice of Boucicault and led to his first London engagement; his epoch-making tenure of the Lyceum; his tours in the United Statesâ€"all these are milestones in Sir Hen ’s career familiar to most playgoers. t was he who in our time was able to falsify F. B. Chatterton’s dictum that “Shakespeare spells bank- ruptcy.” In his own person, ‘by his mag- aetic influence, Irving has been to the younger generation of actors, and act- resses, too, a. stimulating and vivifying force; a worthy custodian of the tradi- tions of Garrick, the Kem-bles, the Keane, and Macready. Such passages in his life as the presidency of a- lord chief insticc at a banquet in his honor, his delivery of the Reds lecture at Cam- bridge prior to receiving- his degree, his triumphant appearance as Shylock be- fore a German audience at the Berliner l‘heater, and his “command” perform- ances on several occasions before royalty are added lanrels to the brow of this, great actor. To mention Sir Henry Irving’s name without linking with it that of his col- league, Ellen Terry, is impossible. The two have been so closely united in their art. almost without a break, for twenty- four years, that old playgoers resent, somewhat’ in the sense of a private grievance, the presence of “the actress in management at the Imperial while the actor is at Drury Lane.

The best preservative for posts is an :nntiseptic solution that will destroy the fungus germs that attack the dead reap Wood. Sulphate of copper and salt .are valuable in this respect. The rot- ting of posts at the surface is hasten- -.ed much by alternate wetting and dry- ing, which is highly favorable to the _,:;growth of bacteria of decay.

The far mer will admit that he and his family all want them but he excuses himself by saying he can buy them cheaper than he can raise them. But we notice when the time comes not very much of it will be bought. Something will licome up to prevent it and the family will do without. Raspberries, straw. berries, blackberries and other small “fruits are easily grown and there is little excuse for any one doing without them except the renter who moves an- nually. Many of this latter class can get small fruit if they will try, by, ~picking for some large fruit grower in the vicinity on shares.

I ’Asa :general rule cattle need plenty rat shade in summer and they ought ‘ to have a watering place to go to as ucften as they choose. In clearing my ground I sometimes leave a nice tree standing out in the open field. It is :zrue the ground does not produce so 'n'ell close to the ire , but I think the . farmer makes it all back in milk and .ivut‘ter. If a cow is left in an open field where there is no shade she will get so hot that her milk wou’t taste as good as if she had a nice shady place to lay down and rest in. I no- tice some of my neighbor's fields have no shade trees in them. They don't pasture them very much. They al- tways pasture the fields that have the shade trees. . . Two or three good shade trees in a twelve or fifteen-acre field is sufficient to shade ten or twelve head of cattle. “Cattle delight to run through the “brush, especialy' when the horse-fly, season is on. The cows love to walk Along through the brush and pick off a. leaf now and then to mix”with the grass they get. One of our pasture fields has a. thicket of bushes in one' corner of it. I notice whenever I put the cows in there, they go to the bush- ..rs the first place. They stay there the bigger part of the time.‘ It seemed that the cows thrived better while they wart-re pasturlng in that fieldâ€"Niel}. ’iflcising. The essentials to successful tree Gene to his Napoleon, it is hard to stifle the feelin that, this combination ended, some of t e fragrance has departed from our stage. People went, of course, to the Lyceum “to see Irving,” but in so speaking they never forgot that they would see Ellen Terry as Well. The professional association of Miss I‘erry with “Mr.” Irvmg dates back, in- deed, further than the Lyceum days, for these two young people were playing together in “The Taming of the Shrew" at the old Queen’s Theater under the management of the Wigans. Nor, though Miss Terry is out of the cast of “Dante,” is she a novice in Sardou’s plays, for was she not, just three years a o, the leading lady in “Robespierre,” \viich Sardou wrote specially for the Lyceum company? An unkind fate at times has decreed that she should enact the tragedy~queen; but, as We all know, her truest successes have been in that species of ecomcdy where gentle raillery and the display of arch perversity and merry mischief divulge her womanhood. Theater-goers of to-day are often un- aware that Sir Henry Irving, too, pos- sesses the lit of comedy to a degree whichâ€"in tie former judgment of some â€"overshndows the tragic and realistic. Warrant for that view is to be found in his impersonation of such characters as Digby Grant in “Two Roses,” Jingle, and Jeremy Diddler. But his career was fixed in what is usually called the “high er” branch of his art when he enlisted under Bateman’s banner at the Lyceum, where his Burgomaster in “The Bells” took London by storm some thirty years ago, and to whose management he ulti- matcly succeeded. Labouchere on Sir Hector MacDonald. London “Truth.” In poetry and the drama tragedy is supposed to have a bracing and much- ling effect on the emotions. The brags dies of real life are always painful, fre- quentlly sordid, and never anything bet- ter. Oedipus himself, off the stage, would only furnish the materials for a coroner’s inquest and a sensational line on the (bills of the evening papers. So it is with the tragedy that has ended the career of Sir Hector MacDonald; and nowr that the papers recording the event are out of print, there is no purpose to be gained rby dwelling on such a. catas- tro. he. It is said that a. disinterested en usias’t has declared his intention of spending £10,000 to clear the unhappy man’s re tation. If money could do it, one won: d regard it as money Well spent. A man told me the other day that he had spoken with the ‘ eneral’s servant, who Would stake his 1i c tlmt there was no foundation for the charges. As no man is a hero to his valet, this would be testimony of some weight. But when a \an has, in effect, pleaded guilty by his eivn wet, how can any such testimony affect the verdict? A doctor, taking a different lline of defence, told me that he should throw the suicide and the sluwrges together into the scale, and trewt them both as evidence of physical degem nation, due probalbl to sunstroke or some such cause.
