In travelling over the country I
see fields that are claimed to be
worth from $50 to 111100 per acre,
with a pile of stones lying here and
there and several scrawny, half-
dead trees standing about over this
land and perhaps with a- s•tval0 run-
ning across, writes Mr. 1t. 13. Bush-
ing.
Have you any such on your farm
that are not yielding a profit, per-
haps scarcely paying taxes 1
These .ores are loafing and, what
is Worse, not only loafing, but cost-
ing the farmer ,hard-earned money
every time he sends a man into the
fields to work. Time wasted in
turning around obstructions is very
great and time is money these days.
With the modern machinery that
we want to use and to eultieate and
harvestour peeduce, a man must
have a clean sweep across the land
if he is after, the greatest profit.
O,tly a few dollars would remove
these worthless' piles of stone and
those old, half-dead trees which are
just in the way. Then the land
would be available for use,
By putting in an underdrain a
worthless 838081 may be transformed
into a fertile field. Stones and
trees are all right in their places,
but the best place for the stones is
in making a dam at the lower end
of some low place to help catch the
wash, and the best place for the
trees is in a clump by themselves or
very near the fence and not scatter-
ed all ever an otherwise profitable
field- -
It is a very common thing to see
large strips of land that are not in
shape to be, cultivated; loafing in
weeds and brush between fields,
simply because the farmer has not
the ambition to fence diem in.
If you have such land that cannot
be put tinder cultivation with pro-
fit it should be fenced and turned
into pasture, or if yon desire to
grow trees, and, of course, you
should grow some, set out a useful
variety, but be sure not to allow
the land to loaf away your profit
by growing absolutely worthless
weeds and brush,
It is a shame to have land under
cultivation and continue to work it,
while it is so thin that it will not
produce Anything worth while.
Farm land is just like a bank. 1
You can draw checks en it you
have a deposit of fertility, but un-
less- there is a deposit.there can be
no checking.
It is sad to see a farmer plow,
sow, cultivate, harvest and thresh
half a crop from a field when with
the same amount of labor he could
have prevented his fields from loaf-
ing by supplying the amount of
plant food needed to grow • a full
crop.
We can look about and see those
who are tieing things right. Why
not take a lesson from theme
Look around this summer and see
if there is not something . that is
loafing; if not, very good; but if
there is, you must clean it up if you
ever expect to have a full crap and
make the most profit from the land.

low his lend to loaf.

The child who sleeps best with the
mouth wide open and the head
thrown back is most likely suffering
from enlarged tonsils, which im-
pede its breathing; if it can only
sleep when the bedclothes have all
been kicked off rickets should • be
watched for, while lung' or heart af-
fections are shown at an early stage
by the tendency to sleep high up on
the pillow, so that the head and
shoulders aro raised. - In oases of
pain in any part the head will be
found to be. carried to the affected
spot during sleep, so that breath -

ins, headache, or earaohe may be
diagnosed, while a curious sign of
irritation in bbe stomach or bowels
is the constant rubbing of the nose.
Restless sleep, broken and uneasy,
is a common symptom of the onset
of serious illness, but any extreme
torpor and drowsiness should alsoas
be expected, as these frequently
precede feverish ailments, such as
scarlatina and metusles. Convul-
sive attacks are nearly always pre-
ceded by the tight clasping of the
hands, with the thumbs folded in-
to the palms, and the stiffening or
curling up of the toes.

I vowed that as soon a5 I was freed

Irina Scbischmanoff is now in
Russia. Site has lectured in forty-
two towns (in Moscow and 5t. Pet-
ersburg several times), and elle
claims that she has brought home
tho heerors of war to a hundred
thousand persons. Her success in
evoking enthusiasm is due to her
passion and warmth, but still more
so to her analytical skill in bringing
before audiences the sufferings of
combatants and of their friends
which war entails. A favorite me-
thod is to describe the lot of a sin-
gle soldier and of his family. "The.
story of Stoilo Pozdneff" is known
all over Russia. Stoilo Pozdneff is
the schoolmaster of ICizil Agatoh, a
Turco -Bulgarian frontier village,
stead of feeling faint I felt extra-
ordinarily awake, and with all my
senses concentrated, it •seems,, on
one tiling, Soon afterwards in the
darkness of the room an irregular
white background 'formed, and on
this I saw what must have been a
battlefield. All I could make out
were occasional heaps of dead and
dying men, and many bills, from
which I guessed that I was looking
at a fortress -battlefield, which may
have been Port Arthur, A moment
later I heard it droning• sound; a
blue cross rose over one of the hills,
and a hand above the cross beckon-
ed to lie imperatively. The dron-
ing sound ceased, and I. heard the
words "Voina pro'tiv Voina" (Bul-
garian for "War against War").
Next moment the battlefield faded,
the white background grew grey,
the room became lighter, and I
found myself sitting again in the
after -sunset twilight."
Irina took this vision as a sum-
mons from. Heaven .to make war
upon war, The chance of obeying
the summons seemed remote, SA
bring Was a penniless student, and
elle had no money, and none of the
political- - and military knowledge
necessary for a peace campaign.
Brooding on the vision, she com-
pleted her studies at Phillipoppo)is,
and next went to Berne, where she
studied further, She got the de-
gree of doctor of philosophy and. of
medicine, When she returned to
her Tirnovo home, she found war
with. Turkey brewing. Hoping at
last to fit herself for war against
war, she joined tho Bulgarian
forces es a n1616111g' sister.
Destroying Weeds.
A good system of rotation that
includes cultivated crops offers the
best means of combating the com-
mon weeds; but its success is al-
most entirely dependent upon the
manner and polsisbency with which
the soil is cultivated. To insure
reasonable success, the disk and
harrow should be used frequently
while the weeds are still small, and
the crops while growing should be
given frequent cultivation. Fortu-
nately, the same tillage operations
that are used in putting the soil in
a condition to receive and conserve
rainfall, to prepare the seed• bed
and to liberate plant foot, are like-
wise useful in combating weeds.

It rays to Save the Manure.
Nitrogen is worth at least eight
cents a pound. A horse will pro-
duce fifteen tons of manure and lit-
ter a year, containing more than
120 pounds of nitrogen. [1t eight
cents ;a pound, the value of that
manure is $10.40. It pays to save
it. Experiments have shown that
liquid and solid manures when kept
together deteriorate much more ra-
pidly, Also, the more compact the
manure is stored away frets the
weather, the least loss will result.
,FIere is a hint for progressive farm-
ers. Our farmers need this nitro-
gen, and when it represents at
least $10 a horse, one can afford
to take a little better care of t"1Lt-

Is Finding Followers.
Irina is finding followers among
leaders of Russian thought. Among
these is Prof. P. N. Miliukoff, the
"Cadet" leader, who was once pro-
fessor at Sophia TJniversity. She
was invited to• Gritted Duke Con-
stantine's villa at 5'trelina to give a
private lecture on her experiences,,
Grand Duke Constantine called her
the most effective peace propagan-
dist he had ever heard. It Lyes he
who on hearing. of her "cell,"
nailed her "the Jeanne d'Aiw of
Peace." The rich Ifieff sugar re-
finer Gvotlieff offered her $10,000 in
order that she might help the peace
movement with pamphlets and
books; but Irina r'ejeoted the mon-
ey, easing "only the voice of the
sufferer can drive war from the
world." Minister of the Interior
Malakoff is the only Russian of note
who regards with suspicion the
13838110 propaganda. He refused to
help Irina when her lecture was
1)oa'bidden by the police master of
Tula. Elsewhere Irina has suet with
no trouble, despite the prejudice of
Russian bureaucrats that the cause
of peace is someway tied tip with.
the cause of revolution.
