    #OTD Stephen #Leacock, #Canadian #Writer & #Humorist, is born.

    He wrote,

    "All the #Books [say] #Soil is the most important part of #Gardening.

    But, if a man [already has] his own #Backyard before he opens the #Book, what remedy is there?

    All the books stress the need for "deep, friable loam - full of nitrogen."
    This I have never seen.

    My own land [contains] nothing but #Earth.

    I could see no trace of #Nitrogen.

    In all humility... I don't know what #Loam is."
