Idea That There Can Be No Love Without Largo Admixture of Jeal ousy lb Not by Any Mean* Well Founded. The prevailing Idea appears to be that there can he no love without a pretty large admixture of Jvalouqy; uud that, conversely, almost every^aae of Jealousy springs from some misguided love affair, Whether this Idea is the right oue or not 1m decidedly open to question. Ideal love affairs preclude Jealousy al together, and where absolute trust uud confidence exist there is no room "at all for the green-eyed monster. it Is only when the course of true love, ceases to run smoothly, or where the passion Is an unlawful oue, that jealousy creeps In Ilk a canker ut the root. Oue curious attribute of the je.nl ous woman who plans to sweep ker rivals out of the way is that she gen erally shows a marked lack of bruUis in her methods. Jealousy is popuiur ly supposed to arouse a diabolically clever Ingenuity In the breast of the Jealous fair ono?but, as a matter of fact, It seldom does unythlng of the sort. In my opluloa, jealousy make* wom en do the most stupid things lu the, world! Not only does It blunt all their liner feelings, but at the same time it causes " curious confusion of mind, which falls to take the proper grasp of consequences and which is utterly illogical and childishly reckless in Its workings. One has only to glance at the dully papers to see this fact practically illus trated. The schemes ol' the jealous Ionian are the most childishly imma ture in the world, and in almost evpry case fall to pieces and bring speedy retribution on her own head. I?\>r uot ulone does the victim suffer. The worst generally comes upon the plot fc*;r herself. Love very often does bring a *er taln amount of jealousy in its train. But at the same time it is entirely up to ourselves to curb those feelings und to keep them from outward and visible sign of expression. Moreover, it is perfectly true that, although love generally does admit of jealousy, the latter can exist and nour ish pretty successfully without love. A woman may be desperately jeulous of the attentions which a man pays to another woman without In the least loving that particular man. Jealousy may spring from hurt pride, or from balked hopes, or from the fear of what people may say, quite as frequently as it springs froiu love. Therefore, in the last analysis, we may most assuredly claim that jeal ousy and love are two dlstiuct und quite separable affairs.?Philadelphia Inquirer. ORIGIN OF FAMILIAR PHRASC; How "Swinging Hound the Circlo' Gained It3 PU;c# In Ameri can Politico ** "A* I go round tho circle," uttered l?y President Julius n In u speech in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1 MM, was tlio origin of iIn* familiar phrase of today, "sw|i)g?

"Yet," says T. It, llurton In Ids life of John Sherman, "Johnson's first message to congress. In December, was writ ten hy Uoorgo Bancroft, and the origi nal munuscript is at the Library of Congress. It was on August 24, 1S(M1, that Presi dent Johnson, with Secretary Seward, (jieuei-ui Urunt ami Admiral Farragut, left Washington for a tour through tho middle western states. The ostensible object of tho trip was a participation in tho dedication of a monument to Stephen A. Douglas at Chicago on September 0. H?it the outing was plainly an elec tioneering movement on the part of the president, for the purpose of mak ing votes for "my policy" in the eoni , ing full election. At all tho principal cities along tho route through Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio, the president was received by a majority of those present nt tho different outdoor receptions, with the respect* due his ofllce. If tho president, in his speeches, had shown some degree of moderation and dignity In his language, the history of this notable presidential journey would not have been written in words of de nunciation. Hut Mr. Johnson did not try to con coal either his prejudice or his tem per. From Now York to St. Louis the president petulantly showed his oppo sition to the prevailing tone of public opinion throughout the northern states 411 the time, handled epithets with the crowd, and "exalted himself nt every opportunity." Secretary Seward also made some speeches. But (?rant and Farragut, although frequently culled for. did not utter a word. Grant was said to be thoroughly disgusted with the president and rode In other cars when he could do so. "T felt," said (Jrant afterward, "that It was like listening to n man at his own funeral." Although President Johnson made many speeches, It Was Raid that not even once did he pronounce the name of "Lincoln" in this entire trip. At Cleveland, on September 3, the presi dent did say that he "was placed on a ticket with a distinguished individual, who is now no more." In the same speech occurred his ref erence to the "circle." Better Farming in the South HOW CROP YIELDS ARE LIMITED The Weakest Element of Ptant Food Fixes the Crop Yield, Just as the Weakest Link Fixes the Strength of the Chain?Only By Fertilization Can the Weakness Be Removed. Plants must food 10 grow. Four es sential food ele ments come from the air and six from tlm soil. Only I li r e o of those that oome from the soil fall short of crop re qulrmenta and have to bo sui> plied by man if the greatest yields are to bo obtain J. C. PRIDMORE fd- The8?are J?1 \tt ronomist trogen, Phoepho Agronomisi rJc acjd pot. ash. Every soil may be said to have a limiting factor of production. This may be a .shortage of some plant lood element. If so, this should be sup plied through fertilization if the larg est possible yields are to be obtained. No matter how much of other plant food a soil may contain, if them in a shortage of nitrogen, for example, then nitrogen will fix the limits of produc tion. f/ikewise with phosphoric odd or other elements. Plants differ from animals in taking food, in that plants will take ioods only when the elements eempeeing them are in soluble form, that Is, when they are dissolved in water. Tfhen one element Is deficient, the plant ceases growing. To illustrate la another way, ob o the picture. Hern Is a vessel made of nLares. Kach starr? may represent a food ele ment or other factor of crop "produc tion Some of the a tares are shorter than oClier*. Does not the Rbbrtottt stare then determine how much water the restrl can hold, and doee not the shortest plant food element represent ed here by a stave, limit the possible production of a crop? If, for instance, there is only enough nitrogen in the soil to produce 20 bushels of corn or 175 pounds of cot ton per acre, while there is enough plant food element* of other kinds to produce enormously more, how then can greater yields be obtained than the nitrogen will permit? The problem of plant feeding is, therefoiw no simple one. It has en gaged long and most careful investi gations of scientists, who have delved deep intp the mysteries of how plants feed and what they feed upon. On the basis of the most exact knowledge thus obtained, modern fertilizers have been manufactured. Soil deficiencies, or "Uniting factors," modern fertilizers are designed to remove, and to call into fullest action the natural re sources of the soil. Since there is a limiting factor in all soils, it is worth while for each farmer to undertake to remove that limitation. Intelligent use of fertiliz ers will accomplish It, If food elements be this limiting factor. In no other w&y can it be done than by the help of man. He must bring to the plant the food it needs and cannot find when this is the factor limiting producton. The plant, of course, must be given the best of surroundings. It mu8t not only have plenty of plant food, but the soil must be properly drained of excess water. It must be well supplied with lime, and organic matter; its moisture must be conserved, and weeds killed through proper cultural methods. These things 'man can pro vide. Therefore, if man is not the "limiting factor" and he looks after the plant food requirements, the great est possible yields will occur. PA8TURE VELVET BEANS. Inquiry?"What is the most profit able use of the Velvet Bean?" Plant the velvet bean in the corn and get a double crop. They do well together. Plant an early variety and fertilize for a good growth. ?" The most economical use of velvet beans Is to let cattle feed on them in the field and then to torn under the vegetable matter remaining. If there are not sufficient cattle on the place, get them and feed them.
