A German paper tells the story of a German officer who, in command of some Boers, managed to surprise a British train at a small wayside sta- tion. There was some whisky on board, and the Boers soon sampled it, with the result that the good British spirit did its duty by laying them out fast asleep oa the platform. Here they were found and captured by some Eng- lish troops, who, in their turn, took a little from a half empty cask, with the result that, acting on half starved men, the whisky sent them to sleep in their turn. When the Boers woke up, they recaptured their capturers. Thus in a few hours there was one British vie- tory and two Boer victories added to the reeord. » Goodwin's Explanation. Nat Goodwin was lounging in the smoking room of a London hotel with Pat Sheedy recently when Mr. Andrew Lang, the literary critie, stopped to greet the comedian. The conversation turned upon matters literary, and be- fore Mr. Lang departed he had made some allusion to Theodore Watts-Dun- ton, the celebrated pre-Raphaelite. “What's Dunton?’ queried Sheedy, who was rather mystified. “It's a gag from Weber and Fields,” replied Goodwin, sparring for time. “I never heard it. IIow does it go.” “Why, Weber says to Fields Watts- Dunton? and Field replies, ‘You say it not right. Don’t say Watts-Dunton. Say it so, Watts-Ditten! ” Depew Chuckled, Senator Depew was treading very cautiously on the icy pavement as a stout party salled around the corner and struck a sliding track. “Gracious!” exclaimed Dr. Depew, who feared that the man had broken a leg and was very much relieved to dis- cover that he had not. “It is very for- tunate that you did not fall with your legs under you.” “I should not have fallen had they been under me,” retorted the unfor- tunate acridiy. And Dr. Depew went chuckling on his way with a fresh one in his collec- tion.— Washington Star. Unjustifinble Curiosity. Lawyer (examining witness)—Where was your maid at the time?

Each year rices In commodities rise and ex- ecnses increase. Modern innovations ! nd improvements demand more mon- *y than the receipts from the product! of the farm will warrant. The young | men are leaving the farms for the cit: ies, where they go to learn a trade or! seck a fortune and lay by something | or old age. The result of this is that | alf of the farmers have to depend on | incompetent help or rely on sin niger] ho are not safe to have about the | farm, or do the work themselves: There is a great cry for better reads, ’ and all taxation is getting higher. Our road tax at the present time is about three times what it has been hereto- fore. Now, to remedy this state of ffairs my idea is for farmers to go” low with improvements and make hem when needed if possible, The ime is at hand when we will have to o better farming—make every acre of and grow every bushel of grain that re can and feed it on the farm. Do ot remove any straw, fodder or any- hing that makes manure from the farm. Keep more and Letter stock. With hogs at $6.25 and cattle at pres- ent prices, it will pay you to raise all the stock the farm will feed rather than sell the feed. There is a class of farmers who keep abreast of us, and there is a reason for it. They are in sympathy with their work. You will find these men know what their ex- penses are, In fact, they keep a set of books that shows just what they are doing. They do not let their farm ma- chinery stand out in all sorts of weath- er. Their stock is found well housed, instead of standing by a fence during a snowstorm. These men have found that to be successful they must give the closest attention to business. Would it not be well for us to resolve the coming year to better our condition? I am sure we would find it more profit- able in every way were we to do so. ! . Lime as nn Fertilizer. Lime is not a form of fertilizer that can be used indiscriminately on alk lands with the expectation of profita- ble results. It is liable to have the best results on sour, peaty soils and those having a large amount of undecorpos- ed vegetable matter, on heavy or'@gy lands in conjunction with barn ma- - nures and other coarse organic sub- stances and on sandy lands if in con- Junction with a system of green ma- nuring. Wherever lime can be obtain- ed cheaply, from 10 to 15 cents per bushel, it can be used at the rate of twenty to forty bushels per acre, in a small way at first, and the results care- fully noted, for its value can only be decided upon by actual application. Place the quicklime in small piles on the field where it is to be spread. Make the plles of from three to five bushels each and cover them with earth. If the soll is moist, the lime will slack in a few days, but if dry add a little wa- ter before the lime is covered with the carth. The mass should slack to a fine powder without lumps. If too much water is used, th¢ mass will be lumpy and hard to spread. As a rule it is best spread in the fall.—Hoard’s Dairy- man. A Profitable Half Acre. Professor John W. Lloyd of the Illi- nois Agricultural college planted a one- half acre farmer's garden. He reports his experiences as follows: “If nothing is charged for the use of the land nor the manure, the total cost would be summarized as follows: Seeds and plants, $5.54; insecticides, 50 cents; labor, $26.11; total, $32.06. “In return for this expenditure the garden furnished a continuous supply of fresh vegetables throughout the growing season, with enough sweet corn for drying, tomatoes for canning, cucumbers, peppers, cabbage, string beans and green tomatoes for pickling, onions, beets, carrots, parsnips, salsify, winter radishes, cabbage and celery for winter use and parsnips, horser \&- ish and salsify left in the ground for spring. These vegetables could not have been bought in the usual way for less than $83.84. This leaves a balance of $51.78 in favor of the garden. What other half acre on the farm pays as well?” Preparing Soil For Planting. Continue the preparation of the soil for spring planting. 'The recent freezes will be found to greatly aid the har- row in pulverizing the surface soil. Rememb r, the soil cannot be too fine- ly pulverized. Less seed is required because a larger per cent will germi- i mate on a finely comminuted soil, and a quicker and more vigorous growth will result. Such a soil will both con- tain more and retain better whatever ‘water it may receive, and the plant food is rendered more easy of access to the finely divided feeding rcots. Big Wheat Yields. A Minnesota man claims that by a careful breeding of wheat he is going to produce a variety of wheat which will produce fourfold more tham any ‘we have now. We do not believe that {this can be done, and if it could be it i lis doubtful if such a discovery would be of any real benefit. Wheat pulls jthe lite out of the best soil fast enough as it is and one year with another is jone of the least profitable crops which can be raised.
