VIVA. TO Plan, and How 10 p,,

What 40 Plant and How 10 Plant Ii.
At this season of the year the farmers are
obliged to decide, if plans are not already
settled, what crops to plant and where and
how to plant them. What can we plant as
cash crop? Potatoes have in years past
been depended upon to bring in little cash,
but the outlook $ now discouraging. With
cellars heaped with first quality potatoes,
that are hardly worth marketing, ii takes a
deal of faith aud hope in the agricultu-
raj breast TO undertake another fight
against the ubiquitous potato bug.
But the successful farmer will pur-
sue steady undisturhed system
cropping, assured that good and bad
years will attend any crop. He who al
ways plants largely of the crop that sold
best the preceding year will pretty surely
strike the tail end of the procession.
The Portland daily press., 1884-04-29

The pickle patch is now to be considered.
Cucumbers for the pickle factories have be-
come much in vogue as field crop of late
years. 1t 10 urged in favor of the crop that
it is planted after other crops are in, is har-
vested first, and brings in cash earlier than
any other crop. Another point in its favor
is that it takes little plant food from the
soil. It is rather out of the line of farm
business to pickle and sell them ready for
table use, and the crop will always largely
be shipped direct from the vines to the fac
tory, unless prices continue too much on
the retrograde. If the manufacturers cut
the farmers down too low they will shoot
their own dog. The farmers crcumbers
and vinegar will be mixed at home, and the
ctorles driven to the wall

ADAKOTA BLIZZARD.

A letter from Dakota, describing q
blizzard says that when one of the
fierce storms attacks q section it grows
cold very rapidly. Nothing can keep a
man from losing bis way in blizzard,
the snow is SO binding, and no clothing
will save him from freezing unless he
can find shelter. The writer says: "To
live in these billiards is almost an I'M
possibility. No horse can be made to
face the blast, and only men who have
long been accustomed to the rigors OF
the North can breathe in them. There
is something suffocating about the wind.
The nostrils and tongue seem ready to
CONCEAL and the eyes ache far back In
their sockets. Ten feet away may yawn
chasm yet the driving SHOWS will hide
it from view. There is a ringing, roar
ing noise, such as is sometimes family
heard under telegraph wires on a clear
cold night. At times the roar of the
storm will resemble nothing so much as
escaping steam, like a thousand loco
motives blowing off at once. When this
dies out for an instant the ringing noise
will rise and fall, sometimes a shrek and
sometimes hum"

THE GERMAN NAVY.

Germany's navy has never yet been
strong enough to cope with that of En-,
gland, or even with that of France. II
played far from conspicuous part In
the war of 1870, and its record of marine
exploits is meagre. But now Bismarck
is bent on increasing its efficiency. The
ready grant by the Reichstag of eighteen
millions of marks for the construction OF
torpedo-boats and batteries, shows that
not only the Chancellor, but many depu-
ties who are opposed to him, are re-
solved that the navy shall become a
strong auxiliary of the magnificent army
which stands ever ready for fray, from
whichever side it may come. But it
need not be inferred that this naval in
crease means that Bismarck foresees
war In the near future. He is rather
preparing for eventualities which may
happen, though now remote, and not an
ticipated. Meanwhile the toiling mill
ions of Germany must pay the added
taxes, and rest, with such patience as
they can, beneath Ike iron military
regime which relies upon its armed le-
gions to maintain its power, and even
its existence.

THE ALLIGATOR.

It is fortunate thing that business
interests sometimes come to the aid OF
humane and aesthetic demands, and it
would be well if these considerations
were more often united. The alligator,
who is such picturesque feature in our
Southern waters, has at last found
champions who can protect him better
than Mr.. Bergh and his humane auxil-
iaries. The trunk, satchel and pocket
book manufacturers of New York
City and Newark, n. j., have
published a notice that they will
not buy any skins less than five feet
in length. They thus propose to pre-
vent the slaughter of small alligators by
hunters who have hitherto made o profit
out of them. This is commendable
movement from every point of view, and
it is pity that similar safeguards could
not be thrown around the moose and buff
falo, those monarchs of our forests and
prairies, to say nothing of such natural
curiosities of the remote East as the ell
ephant and the hippopotamus, which
naturalists say are likely to become ex-
tinct under the present ruthless system
of Strengthening them.

GROWTH OF THE PRESS.

The Guide and the Directory, two
volumes which record the newspaper
statistics of the United Kingdom, fur
nish an interesting exhibition Of the
present condition of the press in the
British Isles. Of the total $3.50 peri
odical publications, 1920 are English,
and London boasts about half of the lat
ter number, or, to be exact, 602 publica-
tons. There are are only 172 daily
papers in the United Kingdom, and
more than half of them are issued IN the
afternoon, there being only eighty
morning to ninety-two evening journals.
It is well understood that the British
people do not require the general intro
duction of Sunday newspapers, and
there are only nine Sunday publications,
and of hese eight are issued In London.
Like Cambridge University $50 publica-
tons are recognized as liberal in their
political predictions and like Oxford
University 375 confess conservative in
clinatiors, but 1926 are recorded as
sindependeut or neutral" Books are so
high that few of the British can buy
many of them, but 1888 of the news
paper publications are sold for penny,
or two cents in our money, and l89 are

THE BAD gBOY.

The Canadian way of dealing with
youthful bandits is better than ours.
Recently gang of boys were captured
a Kingston while on romantic thiev-
ing raid. The magistrate sent them all
to jail and detailed stalwart policemen
to take them from the cell one by enc,
place them on bench, and give each
hero good strapping. The boys
screamed and yelled at great rate, and
some of them fell upon their knees and
begged to be let off, but the knight of
the star and club laid on the belt good
and strong, in spite of their kicks and
prayers. An undated dose of belt
would perhaps prove more effective than
anything else in placing a wholesome
restraint upon gangs of youthful des-
peradoes eager to emulate Jesse James.
The customary legal correction gives
them notoriety which is rather graft
flying to their ambition to become tbold
bandits hunted by the horrid minions of
the law"

NEW RAILROAD Law.

The Iowa Legislature has passed law
authorizing the railway commissioners
of that state to compel the erection of
station houses at points where railways
cross each other. Unless this is done
within 80 days after notification by the
commissioners a penalty of $25 per day
can be collected from the dilatory cor
porators. To sustain such law new
principles must be announced by the
courts with no presidents to sustain
them. It would be just as sensible to
compel country store keeper to plant
hitching posts in front of his store. If
anybody is legally injured by lack of a
station house at the crossing of two
railways he can get Judgment for what
ever damages he has suffered, but to
enact law Furnishing railways by fine
for not building station houses at this or
that point shows that the legislation is
outside of established legal principals.

SITTING BULL.

Sitting Bull, the old chief OF the
Sioux band which massacred Custer and
his gallant company, is now a prisoner
at Fort Randall, OAK, where he be-
HAYES well and encourages his people In
agriculture. He was taken to St. Paul,
Mimi, last week and shown the sights
in that city. None of them seemed to
make much impression until he was
shown a telephone and permitted to
talk with his nephew, One Bull, who
was in another room, 100 feet distant.
Then he grunted "Waukan" (evil spir-
it). He afterward said: 81 am very
much pleased with this my 6rst visit to
the white peoples homes. [ am glad to
see so many whites. Your tepees are
very big and high. never saw any SO
big before. IF the Great Spirit has
mercy this year my people can raise
some good crops on our new farm at
Grand River"

NAVAL INSURANCE.

The frequent losses of vessels in the
British merchant marine during ten
years past has been the subject of much
agitation and comment. The loss of
life during the past year has amounted
to one person in sixty Of the entire force
Officers and crews) employed in the
business. The Earl of Ravensworth re-
sists, on behalf of the ship-owners, the
charge currently made against them,
which he defines to be that they have
''sent their ships to sea in order to profit
by their loss," and have ''sold their
sailors lives over the counter at a pre-
MUM to themselves" The Earl OBJ
jects to "tampering with insurance upon
such trivial grounds as an occasional
abuse of the practice by very occasion
al sceundrel, who, when detected, ought
to be hanged, and by way of saving life
to destroy all discipline on board ship by
making owners liable for the fault or
negligence of officers or crew at sea-"
The measure thus adversely described is
the bill introduced by Mr.. Chamberlin,
of the Cabinet, and now being pressed
in Parliament, which we infer makes
owners of insured vessels lost at sea,
with those on board, liable to the rela-
tives of the lost seamen out of the in
surance recovered for damages incurred
by the loss of the lives of such seamen.
Whether it limits the liability to cases
Of insurance actually recovered does not
appear. The bill is claimed to be one
under which insurance would be ina
possible, since insurance at seal has here
tofore been supposed to rest largely on
the assumption that the sailors will do
their best for the ship only when their
own lives are al risk. Compromising
their families seems to be regarded as
removing this element of safety

sold for a half-penny. Trade papers
have rapidly increased in number dur
ing recent years, as they have in the
United States. In the last census year
the number of newspaper and periodi-
cal publications in this country was 1928
or more than four times the number in
the United Kingdom, and the number
of daily newspapers was 483, or
almost twice the number in
the United Kingdom. Ii the vastness

A Bothered Barber.
From the Lowell Citizen. ]


It was in barber shop, and the bar
Der was rendered 81 bill by the man
he had just shaved. The drawer had
been emptied of fractional currency and
the barber turned for relief to one who
sat waiting his turn.
Scan you change me this So bill?" he
asked.
''Guess I can. Let me see-yes; I've
just 1.90, and ten cents for your shave
will make just 50. Give me the bill and
here's your change"
The barber stood balancing the $3.50
In one hand and 50 bill in the other, as
if uncertain which weighed the most.
Then the true horror of the situation
broke upon him as he gasped: "Great
Scott? Do you want me to pay you ten
cents for the privilege of shaving you?
Here take the So bill and owe me tweI-
ty cents"

SUAKIM, March 27.-The British
forces began to advance on Tamanieb at
o'clock this morning. Firing opened
at 1880 and was brisk upon both sides.
The rebels were in larger numbers than
yesterday. The English cavalry and
mounted infantry led and drove the
rebels from the rocks, dispensing them
among the hills. TheKe were no British
casualties. The loss Of the rebels is I'M
known.
THE NEWS CONFIRMED.
LONDON, March 27.-Gen. Graham
telegraphed this morning that the even
ing and night were cool. The reveille
was sounded this morning at $50, and
as quickly as possible the troops got in
readiness for the advance on Tamaneb.
The cavalry were in front and the in
fantry followed in echelOn of brigade
squares, with guns between the brigades.
A later dispatch says the British ad-
vanced to-day to Tamanieb and burned
the village. The Arabs fed, The
fighting is ended.
The rebels fired on the British troop
ers from the rocks upon the left. The
cavalry .dislodged them and advanced to
within hundred yards of Tamanieb.
AS soon as Gen. Graham came up with
the infantry and guns shells were thrown
among the flying Arabs. On reaching
Tamanieb, the men and horses
made straight for the wells and
slaked their thirst; after a brief halt
the cavalry moved out to the right and
left of the village in pursuit of the re-
treating foe. The village forthwith was
burned to the ground. Gen. Graham
will explore the region in the neighbor-
hood of the Wells of Tamanieb, and
then return with his whole force to Sua-
kim. The campaign is at an end.

The Same to You.
rFrom Texas siftings. !


Fritz, as he is famiiarly called, is a
genial old German who keeps beer sa-
loon. He labors under the disadvan-
tage of being extremely deaf, hence he
has deputy who attends to the spirit
ual wants of the customers. One day
fun-loving youth, named Read, entered
the saloon with few friends, their OBJ
iect being to test some of the beer,
probably in the interest of science.
Fritz was smiling as basket of poker
chips. Read raised his mug-the one
with the beer in it-and banteringly re-
marked to Fritz:
"Here's to your health, you miserable
old reprobate; you are disgrace to the
nineteenth century"
"The same to you, Mr.. Read, ;" re-
piled the old image, bobbing his head
and smiling, under the impression that
some extraordinary compliment had
been paid him.
