The strongest argument against the above practice is that the naked soil loses nitrates from leaching and evaporation; yet much of the land that could be fall and wintar plowed is almost dsvoid of vegetation. And against this claim that nitrates are lost comes the very sommon belief that after Geasons of extreme drouth, followed by & favorable ore, large crops are expected and harvested. The belief is that the drouth has much to do with disintegrating the solid parâ€" ticles of the woil and putting the plant food in a soluble condition. If this is true, much of the force of the argument against fall and winter plowing is lost. The phenomenal yields of springâ€"plauntâ€" ed crops this year are strong supporters of the dry eweather theory. Last year, before the calendar marked the openâ€" ing of spring, we had oneâ€"halft of the land intended for corn plowed. We had once tried plowing deeper than usuâ€" al in the spring, much to the detriment of the succeeding crop. Last fall when we started the plow we set it to run an inch or more deeper than the land had ever been plowed before, feeling that the winter and spring freezing would destroy its organic nature and render it in proper condition to feed the succeeding crops. This deepening of the soil we did not dare undertake with the spring plowing. One reason we were anxious to try fall and winter plowing was that when not done till spring it often become a very laborious job before being completed. Much of our soil is a stiff clay, and often in the spring we find it in a most undesirable condition to plow, and on this account the plowing sometimes extended well into the planting season, resulting in the wearing out of teams. iDuring the winter the teams are not regularly emâ€" ployed, and can better be kept in thrift by the exercise at the plow on favorable days, the plowing in fall and winter being done without a bruise or a strain. We have on the farm a few spots of red, stiff clay that can seldom be spring plowed satislactorily. These we wantâ€" ed to give the action of frost after plowing. While plowing last fall and winter we were as careful to have the soil in proper condition as when we did the plowing in the spring. Sometimes farmers who practice fall and winter plowing are not careful as to the conâ€" dition of the soil, but plow it very wet, the water often settling in the furrow before the next fills it. They argue that the freezing weather will overcome the injury done. We cannot bring ourâ€" seives to the point of unnecessarily abâ€" using the soil, but aim always to plow when the soil will crumble as it leaves the moldboard of the plow. Excepting five rounds played last winter, when the soil was too wet, the remainder was plowed in proper order. _ In walking across the field any time before the land was worked for spring planting, we could easily note the strip that was plowed too wet. This remained hard and comgact. as compared with the friâ€" able condition of the remainder of the field. The black soil of the field beâ€" came very loose and mellow, and also the red clay points. These latter were in the best condition we ever knew at planting time. The greater part of the fields is stiff clay of a lighter color. This settled very compactly, excepting strips four or five feet wide directly over the tile drains. These strips were as mellow as the black soil. From a previous experience had years ago, we feared that we would have trouble in getting this compact clay soil in ordâ€" er. sOME DAIRY OBSERV ATIONS. At no time more than during the winâ€" ter season does an intelligent and proâ€" gressive dairyman appreciate a good cow, writes a correspondent. _ Feed as high as you may; care for as weli as you may: it is only the animal of good milch breed that can be depended upon to always yield a profitable amount of milk. While it never pays to starve even a scrub cow, it is worse than foolâ€"bhardy to conduct a dairy with such animals. In spite of the army of institute lectâ€" urers that are going up and down through the land; in spite of the words of wisdom weekly dropped by the agriâ€" cultural press; you can go into any neighborhood and point here and there and yonder to dairymen who are obâ€" stinately conducting their business at a loss. Does this reflect any upon the measures taken to teach them better? Not at all, but it does reflect most adâ€" versely upon the good sense and sound judgment of those who are milking tows at a loss. I like to note actual conditions and results, rather than a gilded picture of what I would prefer to see in the dairy world. ; ©[; That there has been a great change for the better along producing lines within the past ten years, goes withâ€" out saying, but it is foolish to shut one‘s PRACTICAL FARMING I en ds " x still exists. To get at facts, go and study the cows of your neighborhood, and their environments. . do so was their own choice, purs and simple because iney feit coat the oll way of mi]king cows, cleaning stables, and tumin%et e churn crank was the best way. iry methods, I mlght say are almost inherited, and it will someâ€" times take ten years to make a dairyâ€" man create improvements that he might accomplish in one. But there is one thing to be thankâ€" ful for, and that is, what little there is gained is not lost. ‘There is no retroâ€" grade movement along dairy lines. If a butterâ€"maker once ?eame that it is I bhave heard many dairymen claim that in reading dairy articles, or listâ€" ening to dairy lecturers, it was often difficult to separate the theoretical from the practical. Now this ought not to be the case, for there should be so little that is theoretical, and that so clearly defined, that it can be easily eliminated from the practical. Ths trouble is, however, that many dairyâ€" men who are in the "old rut," consider the really practical assertions of their more successful and enterprising dairy brethren as theoretical. In other words they consider the possible as impossible, and so go on making one milk pail hold the yield of three cows at a single sitâ€" ting, while their theoretical neighbors are trebling that result. Mark _ you that a theory that can be practically demonstrated pays in dairy matters as eyes to the lank of improvement that better to E{{)f the churn when the granâ€" ulation point is reached, he will never ulation point is reached, he will never go back to the old idea of letting it 'i:ther." If a dairyman once realizes that cut cornfodder will go from _ & quarter to a third farther than if the whole stalks are poked under the catâ€" tle‘s noses, his fod‘t)‘l%r cutter will never become a roost for the fowls in some neglected corner of the barn. It is a sourep of great encouragement to dairy soldiers to know this, and to feel that eventually bad dairy methods will have t(tgf petrmanently capitulate before their efforts. market quotations, by simply changing their stable methods.

Killed Their Aged People and Eat Them Kuman Beings Sold After a Battle for Six Shillings a Brace. Captain Hinde, the African explorer, gives some interesting, though horrible, details about the habits of the canniâ€" abls in the country through which he has traveled. Captain Hinde asserts that nearly all the tribes in the Congo basin are or have been cannibals, and that the pracâ€" tice is on the increase, not merely for superstitious reasons, but also for the provision of focd. _ There is a certain sturdy, fat race in Africa which has never been famous for its prowess, but which is made a regular staple article of diet,. _ Whoie cargoes are constantly carried up the river and sold to the natives for food@.

My dear, Mrs. Chatt‘s husband reâ€" maried. there seems to be but one end SE e Reey PR n aa t o to your conversation, and that beginning. TORONTO A DEFECT the committee appointed to examing the case of Colonel Sunset Jones, & charter member against whom many complaints ‘had been made by citizens at large. Professor Bluestone Jackâ€" son, chairman of the committee reportâ€" ed a singular state of affairs. They had examined the Colonel‘s wheel and found it all right. They bhad taken notice of bhis manner of mounting and pedalâ€" ling, and no fault could be found. It was only after he had started off for a spin that anything unusual could be discovered. Then it was noticed that hbis progress was erratic. He would seem about to run down a street car, when he would suddenly swerve and head for a baby carriage on the othâ€" er side of the street. He would be pointed dead for a lame man on the cross walk, but just as the man opened his mouth to yell, the Colonel would cirâ€" cle to the left and knock down & letter carrier who had a large family to supâ€" port. He would ring his bell for a monâ€" 1 ument to get out of the way, and disâ€"i mount in front of a car and beg its, pardon. It took the committee a full week to get on to the Colonel, but it was finally discovered that something was wrong with his eyes,. When they | came to be tested a queer state of afâ€" ifairs was brought to light. Everybody | could see that he was cross eyed, but, | in addition to this, he was colour blind, l&nd one eye was out of true by over half { an incb: A fat woman wearing a green \ shawl appeared to him to be a street |car with a fiery red dashâ€"board, and ‘a towheaded boy on roller skates preâ€" sented the picture of & tall man with & red ‘nose and consumptive cough. in | one instance a small coloured boy startâ€" ed to cross the street ahead of the Colonel, carrying a parcel under his arm. The boy and the parce! seemed to the Colonel to be two Chinamen, seven feet high, and in attempting to pass between them he knocked the boy end over end across the street. The committee advised that Colonel Jones cease from riding a bike as a member of the club, and recommended a strict examination of the eyes of all future applicants for membership. THEY MUST NOT CAVORT. The Hon. Application Green had some interesting and â€" pertinent â€" statistics to submit to the club regarding the THOMPSON STREET CLUB How Bluestone Jackson‘s Cross Eyes Affiicted the Town in Which He Lived. When the Thompson Street Coloured Bicycle Club had been called to order, President Toots asked for the report of interesting and pertinent â€" statistics to submit to the club regarding the question, ‘"Shalil Preachers Ride the Bike?" He had corresponded with perâ€" sons in various sections of the country, and had interviewed a number of preaâ€" chers himself, but had confined himself strictly to the colour line. What white preachers did or did not do was nothâ€" ing to the coloured race. The number of coloured preachers in America now riding the bike was about four hundred. The number who had fallen from grace during the last twelve months on acâ€" count of the wheel was eighteen. While the question was still an open one beâ€" fore the club, the general opinion of the club to this, that preachers could ride the bike in a slow and dignified manner, but that the sight of a minisâ€" ter of the gospel skating along with a jockey cap perched on one ear, and his left leg over the handle bar made huâ€" man nature more wicked. The minister of ‘his church rode a bike, but had not suffered in reputation. His gait was never above five miles an hour, his gaze always fixed upon the horizon, in serious mood, and nobody was ever at hand to bear his remarks when the front wheel struck a stone or fell into a hole. A preacher might scorch for a mile or so, in case a thunderstorm was coming up or a Texas steer got after him, but he should still preserve his dignity even after his hat fell off and his feet lost the pedals. The thanks of the club were tendered to Brother Green, and he was requested to keep his eye on the preachers and see what another year would bring forth. THE COW AND THE BIKE. Judge Wholesale Hooper, who has made more long distance runs than any other man in the club, said be hbad a few words to say regarding the country cow. Up to six months ago the cow was the chief obstacle to be met with on the highways. She was no friend of the bike. On the contrary, she nevâ€" er missed an opportunity to show her ill will and make all the trouble she could. One of her favorite pastimes was to walk deliberately across the road when a rider drew near, and she showed many evidences of gratification when the smash came and she heard the brokâ€" en spokes rattle and a string of cuss words issue forth. She would lie down in the middle of the road as night fell, for no other purpose than to be run over and hear a human being yell out Iifferent had he rty rods all the he same of him back all s in her in terror, and if she got up after the shock, she generally managed to carry the wheel off on hber horns. Things were different now, however. The cow had come to recognise the fact, that the bike has come to stay and that it bad no relation to the borse fly. . Her ribs had been thumped until she Wws cheerfully willin,i‘to give half the road, and if she had that tired feeling come upon her she crossed the roadside ditch to lie down in a fence corner. It didn‘t take the farmer‘s dog over a YeaT to learn that there was somethinfi red hot about the bike, but the cow ad been slower and more pigâ€"headed about givâ€" ing in. ‘Time bad brought her around, however, and on his last century run, the judge had seen onlfi.two cows at close range, and then nothing more than their waving tails as they gave hbhim the earth for his own. Dean Farrar ‘H‘,‘,‘,’L“ Tennyson as havâ€" ing related to him the remark of a farmer, who, after bearing a fireâ€"andâ€" brimstone sermon from an _ oldâ€"style preacher, consoled his wife by myinfi "Never mind, Sally; that must wrong.
