Marshall Field.
EVGEHTOt.
During office
hours a disci
plinarian ; at
other times al
most a poet.
ARSIIALL FIELD was the
reatest merchant of modem
times. He had factories all
over the world, In almost ev
ery country of Europe, In China and
Japan, in Australia and In North and
South America. The goods manufac
tured by these mills ho sold through
his great retail store. He was one of
the richest men In America, yet made
far less stir than men with one-tenth
of his wealth. Moreover, he paid taxes
on a larger percentage of his posses
sions than probably any other Amer
ican millionaire. He never speculated,
never went In debt and never was os
tentatious with hia charities. Tho
world over, his name was the synonym
for business Integrity. In fact, In giv
ing the three essential qualities of tfce
successful business man Mr. Field
mentioned these:
"First. Absolute integrity.
"Second. Good judgment.
"Third. Perseverance."
Thousands of people before Marshall
Field have stipulated theso as neces
sary factors in success, but he pat
them lu practice. He lived them.
Personally Field was rather tall, but
spare. He was reticent almost to
sensitiveness. During office hours he
wan a strict disciplinarian; at other
times almost o poet.
' Field was a poor boy, the son of a
New England fanner. lie early ex
pressed a i.e3lre to become a merchant,
and bis father secured him a clerkship
in a village grocery. After the lapse
of a few months the elder Field asked
the merchant how the boy was mak
ing out and received a discouraging re
port The storekeeper did not think
young Field cut out for a business
man. At this the boy doggedly deter
mined that he would fool that particu
lar purveyor of calico, and he did.
Going to Chicago, be started as a cierk,
steadily crowded forward and was on
the road to success at the time of the
great lire of 1871. In this he lost prac
tically all, but started again with
little added edge to his determination

THE SOIL .
treatment of Low or Bottom Lands.
Grata That Will Thrive
Much of our bottom soil In the south
Is being abandoned for cultivation on
account of Improper drainage and an
Dual damage from overflows. We
must learn, first, to utilize them by
having tiling or tome kind of under
draining and, secondly, must put them
in pasture or permanent hay meadows,
so we will have three chances at a crop
Instead of one and that the overflows
may not wash our toll so badly. Bot
tom toll has an excess of humus and
nitrogen In It In fertilizing It phos
phoric acid and potash are all that li
needed to apply.
Soil Analysis,
It would be well Just here to give the
analysis of sandy soli, clay soil and
bottom soil, so you can see their rela
tive constituents:
Lbs. N. Lbs. Phos. Lbs. Pot-
Per acre. 1 (t. acid 1 It. . aab I ft.
Sandy soil... 1.200 4.378 11.811
Clay loll 3.901 4.111 S1.8M
Bottom soil, 60.687 10.957 10.S27
This shows bottom lands to be espe
cially deficient In potash. The first es
sential In handling bottom soil Is to
get it drained properly. The majority
of It Is sour and sodden.
An Application of Lime.
An application of lime would help to
counteract this sourness, but getting It
properly tiled or otherwise drained so
the air end sunshine can have their
perfect work will soon get It right,
ays Southern Cultivator. It Is known
by all observant men that some plants
have peculiar adaptation to various
kinds and conditions of soil. So If you
cannot properly drain your bottom soli
sow It In herd grass or some grass that
will thrive on wet land.
A LIFTING DEVICE.
An Arrangement For Removing
Wagon Box to Platform.
There are various ways of removing
a wagon box from the trucks, and In
the following plan, described In Iowa
Homestead one of these Is brought out:
REMOVING THK WAOON BOX.
The upright pole Is 4 by 4 by 14 feet
and Is set several feet In the ground, so
that It will bo firm enough in Its posi
tion to stand the strain which" Is re
quired of it. The platform on which
the rear end of tlie wag-m box rerts
when It is to be raised from t!i w:gon
lSVa
healthy iKSSdwid. it. and every
may be uinde nuy height so as to suit
the height of the trucks. Two guy
wires should be attached to the pole a
foot or so from its top unU.be secured
eight or ten feet In the rear of the plat
form. The rope which Is used to do
the lifting Is attached at one end of the
upright pole near Its upper end. From
there It continues on to a pulley .hooked
in a rope which passes around the
front end of the wagon box, then back
over, a pulley In the top of the pole and
down to a windlass at the rear end of
the platform. When the wagon box Is
in Its final position on the platform, It
should stand upright and should be
left attached to the rope, so that it can
not be blown down In case of winds.
Experience With Manure 8preader.
My experience with tho manure
spreader teaches me that the modern
method of applying manure to land Is
far In advance of the old practice, says
a writer in Farm and Fireside. In ap
plying manure with the spreader it Is
put on uniformly, and all parts of the
field aro equally 'benefited. When the
manure was dumped in piles, it fre
quently happened that the work of
spreading was postponed for some
time, and the result was that much of
the fertilizing value of the manure
leached out or was lost through fer
mentation. The manure spreader not
only saves the plant food elements of
the manure, but also saves time and
labor, as the work Is all done at one
time. It does two very Important
things and does them well it thor
oughly fines the manure and distrib
utes It evenly.
6oy Bean as a Soiling Crop.
One excellent feature of the toy
bean, and a feature which I have seen
or heard but little said about, is that
it Is the longest staying crop we have
for soiling purposes, states a Virginia
fanner in the American Agriculturist
This Is one of the points upon which
I wished to satisfy myself the past
season. I drilled about a dozen good
long rows near the barn, and on July
10, when I began to feed It In small
quantities to the horses, sows and
pigs, the bean had Just begun to form
pods. On Oct 10 I fed the ,lasl of
these rows. Every animal thrived flat

cattle without horns as with horns,
and it la a great deal easier to take
care of them afterward. Farm Press.

and bottom of tho pall as shown in
the cut. Then cut circles from other
pieces of the same material to use be
tween each layer of eggs, smaller cir
cles for tbo bottom, increasing In size
as the top Is approached. Eggs can
be gathered from the nests in such a
pall and carried to market with reason
able assurance that few, if any, break
ages will occur. The cost of the wholo
will be but a trifle. Tho corrugated
paper can be obtained In large sheets
from grocers, to whom It has come
packed about breakable goods.

The Successful Dairyman's Way.
Some men have o way of milking
that so pleases the cow that sbo clear
ly shows she enjoys It These are the
men whose methods should be copied.
Observing them, we see that they nev
er shout at, strike or otherwise HI treat
their cows. They sit down quietly,
take hold of the cow's teats gently, no
matter how much of a hurry tbey may
be In, and begin to draw the milk
without pressing too bard, for they
know they arc touching her at a ten
der point Then they keep steadily at
it until the last drop Is out. There Is
no excuse for having a kicking cow In
the herd. The kicking cow Is Invart

The Terrible Tarpon.
Borne year. ago a boat was found
drifting lu Galveston bay containing a
dead tni-pou nnd a dead angler. The
fish hnd broken the man's back. A
friend of mine, writes C. F. Holder in
Rocroation, was fishing when a com
panion n hundred feet distant bad a
strike, and the fish came aboard tho
former's boat nnd struck his chair,
knocking It overboard. One season a
tarpon In Florida waters came into a
boat nnd knocked the angler over
board and sent tho oarsman over on to
bis back. When be picked himself np
he found his patron gono and, looking
over the side, snw him sinking and
with the boat hook brought him up.
The man wns stunned, and later exam
ination showed that two ribs were bro
ken. Dot ween tiger hunting and tar
pon fishing as a steady occupation the
former might bo selected as the safer
pastime.

Gold and Silver.
Ooid was known much earlier than
sliver and was at first the cheaper of
the two metals, but the price of silver
was lowered by the discovery of silver
mines In Clllcla, Spain, and Laurlum.

Don't let the office boy or any one
else who does not understand make
changes In electric wiring or lights.
They may do the very thing they ought
not to. Don't pull a lamp bung by a
flexible cord to one side with a wire
and then fasten to a gas pipe. I have

be pulled over, use a string. Don't
wrap paper around a lamp' for a shade.
Yon might go home and forget It, and
a fire might start from tbo heat TJse
a glass or motal shade. That Is what
they are for. Don't let a socket on a
fixture bang loose, nave It repaired.
Otherwise it may causo trouble where
least expected. Don't try to save a lit

boxes, partitions and Into closets. Have
permanent wires Installed. These flex
