tbe grievaaoH wants you to neg
lect your own business, lay every
thing aside and attend to this
little trouble. The ma witu tn
grievance certainly is a pest and,
like tbe poor he is always with us.
The tired man is another fellow
who has more mays to communi
cate his tiredness than you can
enumerate. If the tired man is a
minister he goes around among
hiv flock with a sigh tbat would
m ike a pair of bellow s turn green
with envy and tella tbe "brether-
ing" and especially the "sisttr

out, how he is spending slspless
nights and toilsome days literally
giving np bis life to bis work. .If
the (tired man is a physician he
makes his patients nervous by
telling' them bow long it has been
since be bad a whole night's sleep.
It the tired nan works. In an
office he blows about be is tired
to bis desk and works without

proving the Worn Sou, -
Upon this big subject Mr. J
H, Hdnbicutt of Qeorgia. ,writ8s
in a lata issue of tbe Southern
Cultivator as follows: 1
'. KarmerS should keep steadily!
before tbem,t wo leading thought

possibld crop: second, bow to
make the poor fields rich. The?

them to think on tbat point. ) Be
sides' this, ' so mnob is written
and spoken on that lioe. Sv.'
many prizes and premiums ar
offered that they keep up inter
est in the largest yield. -
'But tbe second is, in the long
run, V fully as important as tbe
first We have so much worn
land left us by tbe folly of those
who have preceded us, and add
ed to 'by our own folly; that is
very important to know if we can
restore this land, and if so, how
The very look of the farms em
phasize these questions. ,
POOR LANES CAN BE MADE klCH.
. That we may understand this
point fully, we must first exam
ine how they become poor, ,
.AH soils contain practically the
same quantities of the mineral
elements of plant food, but they
are ..sol cable and available in s jme
fields and insoliiable . and there
fore : unavailable in other fields.
Why this difference? Mainly as
tbe resuls of former treatment,
In hill laud tbe water has been
permitted to carry all the soluble
plant food, snd much of the pul
verized .soil . frbm many fields.
These fields are therefdrnot in
condition to produce good crops.
This condition hasjtjeea intensifi
ed ny wonting tnese neids when
too wet The sun and winds have
hardened the mortar. v
Very many other -fields ha Ve
been unfitted for production byt
plowing when too wet and creaih
ing millions of clods of all sizeal
These , fields are not gullied and
trailed like the others, but do not
prouuee gooa , crops, , oecause
clods do not furnish food to grow
ing plants. -
These two conditions are often
more or less - united in the same
field. Both or either make what
we call poor or worn out land. '
' NO LAND is WOEN OUT.
This is not strictly true. They
are not worn out or exhausted,
Ttiey : are simply mismanaged
and temporarily disabled! They
can be recovered surely and per
manently. All that is needed is
first to stop doing wrong, second
to begin doing right,
First ' stop the washing and
leaching by deep plowing. Sec
ond, stop making the clods by
keeping out ' of the fields when
soil is wet Third, make the plant
food, soluable and available by
pulverizing the soil. Break these
clods. Crush the soil Make it
deep and fine by constant plow
ing.subsoiling and harrowing and
rolling.
Help all these by mixing in all
the vegetable matter you can
with clay, also by growing such
crops as help, to pulverize the
soil and at the same time gather
fertility from the air and fix it in
the soil.
All the leguminous plants do
both of these. By their deep
roots they pierce tbe subsoil.
They soon rot and leave pores for
water and air to get id to the soil.
The rotting roots create fermen
tation and help dissolve the pot
ash and phosphates.
. Thus they assist the farmer.
They, also - shade the earth and
make it moist .They leave stub
ble to rot on or in tbe aoiL ' v
By using both of those meth
ods we can surely and rapidly re
cover worn . soils and preserve
and improve good soils.
Again, we can do - wonders
along this - lias' by saving and
spreading all animal and vegeta
ble manures about onr farms.
Never burn anything. Rot every
thing, : Save all all animal drop-;
pings, solid and liquid.; Turn in
all vegetable matter we can get
to grow. Plant peas and velvet
beans and clovers for feed to cat
la and manure to tbe land."

Character, Capacity, and

Tbe three component parts of

greatest of these is character.
Character ia the fine tonoof
your heartstrings, or else; it is
the dull thud of life which Seems
to chill you through and through
Character is that. something
which points yod onward, in life's
work, or else drags you down to

Success. ;
Just What We Look For.
Men are likely to find in the
world what they are looking for.
If you go forth in search of injus
tice, dishonesty, falshood, and
impunity, they will not be
disappointed. All these hideous
thiugs are here and easy otdetec
tioo. But there are also better
tbiogs in abundance for such as
have the eyes to discern them.
Truthfulness, 3 uprightness,
manly virtue, and brotherly kind
ness are displayed in every age
and m every country. It is well
to form the habit bfexpeoticg
them to come 10 our notice. We
do not advise any one to Ignore
thejtresence of evil in the world
That would be folly. But we do
insist that it is bad policy to be
comer blind to tbe good that Offsets
and counterbalances tbe works
of the devil and his child rdeu.
