Kvery observant farmer ha>T noted that seeds germinate more quickly that plants grow more rapid ly on Tall-breaking than on spring breaking. Fall-plpwing qpndcrs more plant food ready for use, while the -preparation of- the land in ttaefait: saves work ip the spring, when every thing on the farm is crowding- A eov er crop is a net gain. It keeps the j soil from " washing. It utilizes' the i plant food that otherwise might ?s- 1 capo into the air. and It adds humus. ' The soil is improved by the crop, aud . winter grazing Is provided. In plow ed land properly handled the loss of J plant food is less than In unplowed I land: more plant food may be pro- 1 duced aud more can be stored. In | case a cover crop Is used tho loss of ptmrt food Is slight. An objection is sometimes urged that tall-plowed soil saturated with water during the winter and remains wetter and colder later In the spring , than land Jeft unbroken In the fall. This Is true only upon land not suf ficiently drained and where the1 breaking Is shkllow. Water passes ! through deep (freaking readily, and I with reasonable Wainage It is ready, for planting earlier than lands brok en in the spring. With deep breaking and an abun dance of, humus it will be possible to flifiMMirfT with miiijv frrrnrri Jtml yft have no washing of ihe soil. Terraces are seldom required on the steepest hillsides of the North.' Deep freezing opens the soil for the absorption of the rain. . When land is nearly level, with a stiff subsoil, it should be flatbrokpiv but left in ridges or narrow lands! about o or 6 feet wide, suitabje for' -ItlamiiiK. ?ltl: a dt'ad fmnm between them. This provides winter drain age and keeps the pulverized soil out nf the water, which is important even if unbroken. ^ ?? IKoepcniim Hip Soli. u TUc "advice to go down gradually" Is -given solely because the Inexpert, enced farmer may -try to plow too deeply for the first time and bring to the surface too much of the ?subsoil. The best plan Is to use the disk plow, ?o set that it will not bring the sub soil to the surface. Generally it may be sent down S. 10 or 12 Inches with impunity, and. . if done In the fall, with slight addition to the cost of Shallower' breaking. Double plowing ?that is, to break at the usual depth and then follow III fhe-same furrow with a narrower plow or scooter and go down as deep as desired ? is bet-r ter than shallow plowing, though a little more expensive plan than the use of a disk plow, and not so effect ive. Many trials made on a great vat plowing 10 inches deep with a dtsk plow is on an average about 50 cents per acre more than ordinary break ing. and in double plowing, as above desrpttfed. the additional cost - aver ages S1. .25 per acre. The costs are somewhat less when a 10-Inch depth of plowing has become the rule upon a given field. There is no question that -breaking and pulverizing to a depth of SMo 10 or 12 inches and adding plenty-. of hiimtts-b economic cal.- ?? Whether a plant has plenty of time makes the difference between a good crop and a poor crop. Depth of Pjowlng. The depth of plowing must be de termined by the farmer himself. He knows the conditions and is the best Judge of the cost. In many sections, jf done in the fall it undoubtedly nays to subsoil 15 or 20 Inches. This ,has been proved by some of the best farmers and experimenters In the voriu. some subsoils in humid cli mates li.iu1 ? Imn mum SO nose an* compart by the abundant rainfall that air does r.ot penetrate them to Hid in preparing plant food Such fields, therefore, may not show any J benefit of subsoiling until after two or more years. It rarely pays to Ptibsoll land in the spring, and ite is never advisable to, use the subsoil plow wJien the sub- ' ? Is fully ? satuhned with ? water. ?ven though the surface be fairly dry. 1'ntier such. cflnditlQL.s nf ringing the! clay subsoil Is pressed and packed,! when the object Is to pulverize it and allow the fftr to act upon It. ' Kvperienre Agrees With Theory. Not principle In agriculture has been more thoroughly demonstrated than tlj* value of a deep .thoroughly pulverized seed heed. The Romans plowed on an average 9 " Inches deep ? always three times for a crop, an'd in stiff lands nine tiroes. They did not call 3 Inches "plowing:" It was only "scarifying." The Flemish farmers were the first to follow the better lines of agrlcul-" ture after the dark ages. They de voted their efforts to tierce main points; fl) The frequent and deep, pulverization of the soil, (2) the ac- J cumulation of manure, and f3) the' destruction of weeds. ? A deeper and nrore thoroughly pul verized seed bed was thq. foundation upon which England built an Im proved agriculture. 'and this principle *has been generally, accepted there for more tho* one hundred and sixty years, until the average production, has increased nearly fivefold. A late letter from Hon. William - ? ? ? ? ' Sauadaw, dlrgctoi uf llw Central Ifcr- J perln?nt*i Farm( Ottita. .

In very case the dlrectoravof their experiment stations favored a deep and thoroughly prepared Heed "bed. fKe Georgia llxperiment Station bulletins repeatedly urge a deep, mel low, and rich seed bed for corn; and thee Insist that if the soil Is not nat urally -euch, It should be made so hv tillage and the addition of hum\is. Bulletin No. 63 of the Georgia Ex periment Station, on "CoUo??. '^-states ( that "fourteen years of experiments- j Hon have Justified certain conclusions that msy be accepted as practically I final." The following Is one of them: i "Thorough break. Mg and comming-, ling of the upper soil, gradually In- j creasing the depth to s or 10 Inches, using plow and harYow, is more effec tive than deeper but less thorough ; pulverizing." The North Carolina Bulletin issued I February, 1905, states: "It unques rionably pays well to thoroughly I break and broadcast-harrow land for corn. Using a 2-horse plow and run- | nlng It 8 to 10 Inches deep and after-' ward harrowing with large smooth- ! Ing harrow puts the land In nice con dition." On the sugar : lantations of Louis iana the tillage for cane averages 12 to 13 inches in depth. On the Ewa plantation, in the Ha waiian Islands, the average depth of plQwing is 30 inches. This planta tion produces the largest crops of miKnr MM to |fcj arrp in thn mid Nature's plan uf improving soils is to tise a cover crop of weeds, grass. | shrubs, or trees and to subsoil by j sending the roots. down 1. 2. 3, or 4 i feet, as the case may be. -thus airing j and enriching the subsoil without bringing It tQ (he In- the "Farmers* Cooperative De monstration Work the importance oft a deep und fhorrieniy prepared seea , bed. like a garden, has been roost j widely demonstrated.

I have made a close study of the profession, and particu larly the clown department, for there is nothing to a circus without clown. "It has come under my observation ll-.al th* hMUllMT 41 ways make the best clowns and produce fun that Is not only wholesome, but makes the man. no matter how dis contented with the world, forget his troubles temporarily and dissolve his hardened features into a grin. .

Then, too, lie 4b enabted to- say things that produce fun and which are not his own. But take the man behind" the whitened face and he has! nothing to help him but his gestures.
