Seeding Land to Grass.

American Cultivator reports that those
who have tried the method of seeding
their land to grass in August or Septem-
Der, without sowing any grain with the
grass seed, have been pleased with the
result if the land was in good condition,
that is, sufficiently well fertilized and
made fine enough for q seed bed.

On the subject of commercial fertilizers
for wheat Rural New Yorker gives the
following advice: Buy Of any well known
fertilizer firm complete" fertilizer for
wheat, and state whether your soil is
light or sandy. Do not buy any incom-
plete fertilizer unless you have good
reason for believing that your soil does
not need complete fertilizer. Probably
your land needs bone; probably it needs
potash; probably it needs nitrogen; but
It also probably needs all, in which case
any one alone will not pay. Sow it broad
cast before narrowing, at the rate of not
less than 500 pounds per acre.

In setting strawberry beds it ought to
be borne in mind that there are three
kinNsof blossoms, the male. female and
hermaphrodite. Hardly any varieties are
now grown that are purely staminate or
male; they are entirely worthless except
for the pollen. The pistillate or female
varieties are numerous, such as Crescent,
Manchester, Bubach, etc. These. properly
pollenized, are the most abundant bear.

The hermaphrodite, such as Wilson,

have perfect blossom, are productive

Important Points in wheat Culture.

few years ago an experiment was
conducted at Cornell university with a
view to deciding the proper depth for
planting wheat. Seven plots were seeded;
No l at to inch, No. at to II inch,
No. 8 at to 2a, and so on to plot 7, which
was planted at to g. inches From the
results gained it was concluded that the
seed placed at ! to I of an inch produced
by far the strongest plants. and that
depths of not less than or more than II
inch are probably the extremes for wheat
to secure the best results.
In the cut is shown wheat plant from
seed sown at depth of to of an inch.
and one sown at depth of 6 to g. inches
1t will be observed that the wheat plant
tends to spread it's roots just below the
surface of the soil. In the experiment
noted. seed placed at a greater depth than
II inches formed two sets of roots or
stem too weak to give proper support to
the plant.

A Brief Biography of Joseph Addison.

May day, 1912, saw the birth of Joseph
Addison, whose memorial may be seen now
at Westminster Abbey, in the Poets Corner,
where is kept alive the memory of other
great names of English literature. His father
was clergyman, and the son had the advan-
tage which a good education gives. He
worked well at his books, and at Is was
able to enter at Queens college, Oxford. He
afterwards became DENY, and subsequently
a fellow of Magdalen. There his portrait
still hangs in the hall, and Addison's Walk
preserves the memory Of his favorite resort
by the shady banks Of the Cherwell.
As a young man, his Latin and English
poems attracted some notice, and pension
from the government of $500 year enabled
him to travel on the continent. Upon his
return to England he found himself in pow
erty. But change soon came. His garrett
up three pairs of stairs in the Haymarket
was one day visited by the chancellor of the
exchequer. Would Mr.. Addison write
poem in honor of the Duke of Marlboroughs
victory at Blenhetms Mr.. Addison under
took the task, and his poem was success.
Rewards now flowed in, and, encouraged by
success, Addison produced other works
In 170S he was elected member Of parlia-
ment for Malmesbury He rose from office
to Office, and was in 1717 made principal Sec
Rotary of state. But he was clearly out of
place in parliament. He rose once to speak,
but could not overcome his bashfulness, and
ever after sat silent. Nor was he able to
carry on the public business with greater
skill. 1t is to Addison's connection with The
Taller, Spectator and Guardian, that we look
for convincing proofs of his genius And
they are found in plenty. When English
literature was almost unknown on the con-
tinent, Addison's writing brought him fame
there. Three years before his death he mar
ried the dowager Countess of Warwick; but
the union is said to have been an unhappy
one. He suffered much from asthma, and
died at Kensington in his 4Sth year. on June
II, 1719. His manners were retiring, but
when among group of friends his CONVEX
sational powers were of the highest

So the king sent one Of his men to the tree
to see what made the cry. The man went to
the tree and climbing up in it found great
eagles nest of sticks in the fork Of the
branches, and, much to his establishment, he
saw little child lying at the bottom of the
nest. It was warmly wrapped in purple
cloth, and had gold bracelets on its little
arms He took the child up gently and car
ried it carefully to the king, who was as
much surprised as the man had been, but he
sent it home to his palace with orders that it
should be well taken care of. AS the child
had been found in nest, it was called Nest
ling, and was known by that name after it
had grown up to be a strong and distin-
guished man. No one ever found out what
was his real name, or who put him in the
eagles nest when he was baby.

Three Unfortunate Italians Robbed Of
Their Last Gent.

New York, Aug. 2.-This is the
sad story of a heartless piece of swind-
ling, of which three Italians were
victims and two fellow-countrymen
heperpetrators. Elva Bernardo, Nicola
Frangcenti an Guisseppi Baonfanti
wanted to go back to Italy, the first
named because he was far gone in
consumption and desired to die in his
native Neapolitan village, and Boan-
fanti and Frangcenti because they
could not procure employment and
were homesick.
The fare for steerage passage on
the Alesia is $40, and all the money
the three men could muster among
was $50, of which Bernardo had SIS,
Baonfanti s12 and Frangcanti SO.
AS they stood on the dock gazing
with wistful eyes upon the hustle of
preparation they were accosted by
Francisco Goldi and friend who
asked them if they wished to go home.
$50 home," answered Bernardo.
"That is exactly what we want, but
we have not money enough"
"How much have you pot?" When
informed of the combined sum, Goldi's
companion said: II think VIC can

Through 70 Idaho.

New York, July 2S.-The attention
of Colonel J. NJ. Donahue to-day was
called by an Examiner correspondent
to n local article published in a recent
issue of the Examiner which stated
that Donahue's long stay in the East
was due to the fact that he was en-
deavoring to raise s3,OO0,OO0 to ex-
tend his road to Boise City, Idaho.
The Colonel was asked if that were
true. After reading the article Colonel
Donahue began to smile.

the extension toward Idaho. But So

Revolt Of the senators.

The doings of Senator Allison and
his eo-workers in attempted tariff
revision are very significant and very
instructive. Under the plea that they
are giving the first Interpretation to
the Republican platform, these gentle
man are proceeding in direct contra
diction to that document-doing ',yes"
when it says ''no," and arranging to
increase the free list and lower rates
of duty, when their platform calls
for taxation of larger number of
imported articles and fer increase of
duty on those already taxed.
The Republican tariff plank explic.
ity declares that the domestic spirit
tax must be entirely abolished before
any tariff duty is disturbed, but these
Republican Senators propose to revise
the tariff, first and consider as sec
ondary question whether any part of
the whiskey tax can be interfered with.
But in no event do they intend to per-
NIT the entire abolition of the spirit
tax as the Chicago platform demands.
That these Republican Senators are
right and their platform wrong does
not alter the fact of their absolute
opposition to the duly promulgated
creed of their party-non-sensical,
reactionary, impracticable and al
together atrocious as it is.

Mr.. Palmer, proprietor of the Palmer

key. Very promptly Mr.. Palmer
aroused the young man out of his
dreamy state by telling him to draw
his pay and leave the house. The boy
made no words about it. He left as
soon as possible.
In few minutes a good-looking
lad, neatly dressed, applied to Mr..
Palmer for position. Mr.. Palmer
remembered he had just dismissed a
call-boy and asked the lad if he want
ed that place. The boy said he did
and drew from his pocket letter of

1t was the same boy. AS sooa as
he was discharged he ran off, changed
his clothes and hurried back to ask
for the vacant position. Under new
lame he went upon the pay-rolls and
remained to become a favorite of the
