Any crop that leaves the soil in good rondition will cost less than one which apparently pays better but which largeâ€" Iy draws upon the soil for plant food. Ordinary wheat straw takes more ferâ€" tility from the soil than potatoes, if compared by weight, because the poâ€" tato is composed more largely of starch and water. The soil should not be conâ€" gidered as a source of food for plants, but rather as a location for growth, the food for the plants to be provided by the farmer, according to the require~ ments of the crop. No crop pays that leaves the soil poorer, unless sold at a price which will enable the farmer to restore the plant food and also receive a fair profit for bis time and labor. The soil is the storebouse of the farm on which is stored the raw materials for future crops, and the real wealth of afarm is in its soil, as it can be drawn upon in the future for crops that may be in demand. Whether a farmer reâ€" ceives a large return or fails altogethber during any year, be bas the soil as a savings bank, representing much of that which has been applied to it preâ€" that which has been applica t0 *% P"*/ viously. Water is a staple article on farms, and is sold more extensively than anyâ€" thing else. Milk contains about 87 per !'" cent. of water, and fruits of all inds are considered more valuable if water predominules in their composiâ€" tion. Even a irain crop is not free from water, while grass and veg&;- bles are mostly composed of water. WA LVow PV PEPmAIS EPE CC s ter is, therefore, the cheagest substance procured by the farmer (for bhe obtaims more of it by good cultivation than would be the case otherwise), and next to water is carbon. When oil, butter, sugar and starch are produced on the farm the leaves of the trees and plants derive carbon (carbonâ€"dioxide) from the @ir and store it into their cells. When the animals consume plants they conâ€" vert this carbon into compounds familâ€" inr to all, but the cost of which so far as the fertility of the soil is concerned may be very small, and when the soil can be made to do service without loss, the gain is correspondingly as great as from a sale. % 4 it The real cost of crops on neariy #"" farms is that of labqr, but labor is proâ€" fitable, according to the uses to which it is applied, and the laborâ€"saving imâ€" t:homn-m must assist the laborer. If he farmer continues to grow crops for which he knows there will be low Â¥xi('es his labor will be more expensive han with some better crop. _ Just what that better crop may be depends upon the location of the farm, the marâ€" kets. the soil and other conditions. There are seasons when some crops pai better than others, as was the case wit peaches last year, which gave food reâ€" eults. An acre of onions may be more profitable than five or ten acres of wheat, and yet the cost of the onions may be less than that of the wheat groportionately. A diveuitÂ¥ of .crops should be the rule, for no farmer can afford to take the risk of dePending on a single crop. The cost will be acâ€" cording to the skill and judgment used by the farmer, and the estimate of profits must always include that which the soil has also gained. THREE TYPES OF FARMERS. | Farmers are divided into three classes: . First, those who take up with every-f thing new in grains, vegetables, fruits and machinery without stopping to think or â€"studying the demands of their markets, the possibilities of their soil and peculiarities of the climate. Invariably they make failures. The recond class are those who never buy or produce anything new in the way of grains, etc., use the same implements their fathers did, irrigate only when the spirit moves them, let their cattle run around the straw pile all winter, feeding them a few nubbins. Make all their butter in the summer and use the old dish churn. They are homely likâ€" ened to the cow‘s tail, inasmuch as they arg_alvy_ay;l bf!findl_._ e o ho s ie ns : in S t RELATIVE COST OF CROPS The tbfrd class are those who think, study their market and soil, begin on a small scale and experiment until the {»rpblem is solved. If a new fruit is wing advertised and _ trees sold â€" at enormous prices they buy but one and see if it suits their soil and climate. They will not set out a peach orchard In a swamp or a cherry orchard on an alluvial soil underlaid with gravel. This class is the one that is making t he money at farmingâ€"the other two are in the background. One and two are THE FARM. both bound for the same place, but geemingly traveling in opposite direcâ€" tions EAUIET. One acts without thinking; the other thinks without acting. One is extravaâ€" gant in buying unnecessary things ; the other extravagant in not b‘pyigg necesâ€" t A farmer‘s success surely depends upâ€" on Effort, but in reckoning the value of his Effort, the quality is of greater importance than the other amount. A little intelligent Effort goes much farâ€" ther than a great deal of misdirected Effort. There are here and there rugâ€" ged sons of toil who, having wrested wealth from the forest and field by the might of their brawny arms, are inclined to belittle other methods than those h they employed, and to hâ€" Sook at what ‘they call ~nowâ€"fangled ’;ot;;u:" ;dfii ;t;wh'flu“;ndf eox;lditggm e , and we & e with them. ’l'honfzwyer, the doetol'% E:eacher. the mechanic in every line, if he would achieve the â€" greatest success, studies eomh:tgd and never bf:m .doY‘tl eve new thing ; wou tberivumer belittle his vocation by sayâ€" INTELLIGENT EFFORT. of crops on nearly all labqr, but labor is proâ€" ; to the uses to which ing it is so purely drudgery that there can be no improvement ? Certainly not; in bardly any other occui)etion of man is there such a broad field for the apâ€" plication of scientific knowledge, such great opportunities for constant and important i.mprovoments. and it is upâ€" on his ability to make these improveâ€" ments his own, that the farmer‘s sucâ€" cess depends. The Success of a Municipal Public House Run on New Lines. The result of a most interesting ¢Xâ€"~ periment in the direction of the muniâ€" cipalization of the liquor traffic â€" has just been ascertained after a trial of many months. The experiment has been made by Dr. Lees, secretary of the water department of the Birmingâ€" ham corporation. EXPERIMENT IN LIQUOR SELLING According to the instructions of the corporation, & publicâ€"house was Openâ€" ed in September, 1894, at _ Elan vilâ€" lage for the purpose of catering to the wants of several _ hundred men and their families. The rules of manâ€" agement were decidedly stringent, and the success of the publicâ€"house, . is, therefore, more important. The pubâ€" lic-ixbtme'is opened ‘daily between the hours of 12 and 2 p.m. for one and a halif bhours only; â€" and for the whole time in the evening between 5.30 and 9 o‘clock. On Sundays it remains closed all day, but on Saturday‘s it remains open from 1 o‘clock till 9 o‘clock. Woâ€" men are not allowed in the bar _ at any time under any pretext whatever, men only over 18 years of age "being permitted to drink in the bar. _ No woman under the age of 21 years or boi under the age of 16 years is served wit beer at the jug department. _ No perâ€" son is supplied with more than one quart of liquor at the morning hour, while but two quarts may be . conâ€" sumed on the premises in the evenâ€" a writt&n order, which is easily obtainâ€" able. It will be at once conceded that the municipal publicâ€"house was started at agreat disadvantage,there being an ordinary establishment, conducted _ on the usual lines, a few bundred yards off. Mr. Lees conferred with men of experience in the "trade" _ before | the house was duly established, and a qualified publicâ€"house manager wasl appointed to conduct the business on behalf of the corporation. He has‘ fully entered into the spirit of the | municipal experiment, and quite un-‘ gderstands that he is thought no more | highly of it his sales are high than | ‘if they are low, whereas, should there . ‘be any _ drunkenness or disturbance, / | he is held responsible for it. | | _ The takings, of course, have varied . | very considerably, from $100 to $350 a ‘wweek. The net profits for _the first | half year were as high as $700, and \ they have since been increasing. The profits are devoted to the maintenance of a reading and _ recreation _ room, | which is distinct _ from the _ publicâ€" | house, and this has proved to miniâ€" \mize the drinkingâ€"one of the princiâ€" pal objects of the experiment. h n i Anlers C€ sns comme arar on anie . e 7 _ ONLY VILLAGE INHABITANTS are allowed to freely enter the publicâ€" house, but strangers may do Vsq‘wi}h | in Sledentamingle onl + ts o °9 Shvg 2O | In concluding his report on the reâ€" | sult of _the experiment. Mr, Lees | says: _ "Individually, I am . a total ]absta'mer, but I am perfectly certain ‘ that we are serving the interests of | temperance â€"_far better in _ providing | wholesome liquor, under proper reâ€" â€" gulations, than we sbould be did we | attempt to probibit the traffic altoâ€" | gether, leaving it to be conducted in | the usual way." The Mindoo‘s Favorite Mcthod of Escaping the Taxâ€"Gatherer, Never during its existence has India been so rich in jewelry as now. . The people are always adding to their stock. Savings from nearly all sources are disâ€" posed of in this way, and these savings are being constantly madeâ€"often at the expense of clothing, sometimes at the expense of greater necessaries of ‘L life, â€" The making and the storing away of wealth in this form is the national peculiarity of the country. Jewelry is regarded as the most stable kind of wealth, and fortunes are never counted without estimating | the value of the stock of jewelry. It | can always be pledged or disposed of. The market for its sale is never closed and never depressed. The most ignorâ€" ant native who wishes to sell a piece of {'ewelrv knows its market value quite well. He can scarcely be cheated. _ Jewelry forms the greatest factor in matrimony. ‘Tbe most lowly bride has her stridbhan, which is occasionalâ€" ly equal in value to five years‘ income of the bridegroom. _ There is often a scarcity of clothing, sometimes a scarcity of cooking pots, generally not a particle of furniture, but nearly alâ€" ways a stock of jewelry. The wife that has no jewelry possesses nothing else; she cannot be robbed. The famâ€" ily that does not have jewelry is abâ€" solutely indigent. One of the greatest boasts of the jewelry owner is that his bhoards can not be taxed. A man may own jewâ€" elry valued at a lakh of rupees and pay no income tax. This is a source | of great satisfaction. Jewelry yields \ no recurring income, but it is px"i'ze_q e .

WHAT IS A CYCLONE ? A GREAT MAP OF THE wWORLD. The idea of constructing a map of the world on a very large scale has long been a favorite one with geographical and other learned and scientific sociâ€" eties both at home and abroad.

This is equivalent to nearly 15 3â€"4 miles to the inch, which, supposing the two hemispheres to be grojected on the same plane, would make the map 100 feet long. k ~ Victoria‘s Private Room s PEARLS OF TRUTH.
