THE DUKE SERIOUSLY ILL.
QUEEN VICTORIA ANXIOUS ABOUT HER

MORE sEvERE TYPE THAN HAD

London, Jan. l2.-Though the physicians in at
tendance upon the Duke of Clarence and Avon
dale took cheerful view of their patients con
dion Yesterday, there is a general opinion that
the Duke is more seriously ill than his family and
physicians would have the public believe
Occupying the position he does, it is natural
that the English people should feel deeply con.
cernel regarding the outcome Of his Illness and
there is little doubt that their fears of break in
the line of royal succession has much to do with

The Official statement issued by the physicians
this morning. said that the inflammation of
the lungs from which the Duke is suffering
is pursuing its course. They added that his
strength is well maintained. but that no
Improvement could bc reported. This guarded
statement was taken TO indicate that
the condition of the Duke of Clarence was less
reaseuring than it was yesterday and last night
Reports from Sandrngham received during the day
said that the pneumonia may develop into more
severe type than was announced by the physcians.
A bulletin issued from Sandrngham Hall at
o'clock this evening states that although there
is no marked change in the condition of the
Duke he has grown somewhat better since morn
ing. All information beyond that contained in
the bulletins is refused.
The Queen, who is now az Osborne House, Isle
Of Wight, is exceedingly anxious regarding the
condition OF her grandson, and she has ordered that

The Chinese sacred lily blooms as well

Orange trees may be planted SUCCESS
fully almost any month in the year.

The Newtown pippin IS popular, not
only for home resumption but for the

With sheep, as with other stock, the
best feeding Is good variety regularly

The earlier the sheep are maturei the
less chance they will have to eat their

WHEN BUYING FERTILIZERS.

Farmers should bear in mind that the
commercial valuation" is not the only
thing to be taken into consideration in
buying fertilizer, says the Raode Isl
and Station. To illustrate: Suppose
that the crop and soil demand largely
phosphoric acid and potash and little
nitrogen, then fertilizer with high
percentage of nitrogen, buc low in the
other elements, would be of little value
to the farmer, however high its com
mercial value might be. The question
is not how many pounds Of fertilizer for
the money, but how much potash, phos-
phoric acid and nitrogen and their form.
This question involves in a great meas
ure the profits and losses in New Eng
land farming New York World.

PACKING BUTTER FOR WINTER.

Butter to keep well must be we'll
made, that IS the buttermi!k well worked
out and full ounce of pure salt worked
into each pound of butter. If packed
in tubs see that they are clean, first
scaIded with hot water and then washed
with cold. Pack the butter as made aud
keep each layer covered with cloth and
salt until the next one is added. Fill
the tub within one inch of the top, then
sprinkle on d little salt, cover with a
cloth, and tuck in the edges all around
next to the tub. then cover with a half
inch Of salt, put on the cover and set
away in cool, dry cellar, No vege-
tables or fruits should be stored in a
cellar where butter is to be kept, because
they are very likely to exhale odors that
will be absorbed by the butter, even if
the butter is kept in & close vessel. -

HARVESTING Axr STORING POTATOES.

HARVESTING ANC STORING POTATOES.
That potatoes require even more care
than grain in harvesting. j. verified by =
long experience. Unless :he soil is very
heavy and wet. digging should never be
done early in the fall. Potatoes should
remain in the ground until the vines
have become dead, aud. If the weather
Is warm and dry, they Should remain
still longer. OF course there are excep-
tons as when blight withers the vines
and extends down to rot the tubers-
Then the crop should be harvested and
stored in a dry, cool place As quickly as
possible.
Provided normal conditions exist, and
there IS no disease in the cop, potatoes
for winter storing should remain undug
until late fall, even until the last OF Oc-
tober. If possible, harVes. when the
ground is dry, ali do not let the tubers
pc exposed to the wind and sun any
longer than to evaporate the moisture
cljnging to them. Whether dug with
a hoe, hook, or horse potato digger,
avoid harshne3s in removing the pota-
toes from the ground. One reason why
SOIdsOCS SIOulH DC IEtI III Luc SIOuuI
until fully ripe is to tougher their ten
der skins to obviate easy abrasion, but,
Of course, the principal reason therefor
is that the tubers may become thoroughly
mature, so as to be hclltutul, nutri-
tious food.
The potato tubers should not be al
lowed to burn IN the sun, or their fine
flavor will be destroyed. The crop
should be handled as little as possible
to prevent abrasions that do irreparable
injury. 1t is always the best plan to DO
the asserting in the field wnen the tu-
bers are gathered. Place the merchan-
table potatoes carefully in crates, or
baskets, never throw them roughly in,
and do not take them from these recep'
tac.es until they are put Ia the bins In
the cellar. The mode, practiced by
some farmers, Of pouring them into
wagon box in the field, from which they
are shoveied into a chute, whence they
side into the cellar, is ruinouS to their
keeping qualities, and should never be
practiced.
The cellar, or store room, should be
dry, well ventilated, and cool. Do not
mass the potatoes together in big bins,
they will "sweat" the same as hay or
grain when in bulk, aud will heat and
rot if there is no ready escape for the
moisture. To store potatoes in pits to
remain until spring, select j dry elevated
spot, and, whether buried below the
surface, or covered above the ground,
always leave d free space over the pota-
toes for the evaporation of moisture.
Potatoes thus kept will no. spro1t dur
ing the winter. American A griculturlst-

HOW TO KILL BRUSH AND BRIARs.

To farmers who live in timbered re-
gion this question IS an interesting prob
lem. There is a theory with some,
who ought to know, that there is a day,
with the moon in right quarter and the
sign of Zodiac in the right place, that a
tree or shrub should be cut to kill it
root and branch. All this sounds we'll
enough to them, but years of experience
has failed to verify such theories. A
sapling may be cut in the winter that
Will never sprout, and it may be cut in
the light Of the moon IN August, when
the sign is IN the heart, and sprouts will
appear abundaotly. We cut brush
every day in the year, aud some will die
no matter when they were cut, and some
will not die. If sprouting is done twice
a year, say June and August, for two or
three years, no sprouts will appear the
next year unless it be sasSafras or post
oak runners.
The whole secret of killing, other
than 9rubbing, seems to be in sap po:s-
oning. The sap must sour, which kills
the roots. Hence some practice cutting
the stumps a foot or more in heigth.
An experiment Of this kind showed a
decided gain, since the scumps rotted
out in -four years tine from cutting.
The killing OF briars, especially dew.

At one time il seemed they were gone.
but when the land was put down to
meadow they came up as strong and Wig
orous as ever. Sassafras has been al
luded to; nobody ever killed one by
cutting it off at the ground. The same

different treatment. When cut foot
or two from the ground sap poisoning is
more possible and effective. -American

WILD FLOWERS AND THEIR CULTURE.

WILD FLOWERS AND THEIR CULTURE.
People usually make too hard work OF
cultivating wild plants. They are apt to
attempt to initiate the natural conditions
under which they find the plants. This,
to a certain extent, is wise, but in most
cases it is easily Carried TOO far. The
problem is simpIlfed when we once come
to understand that wild plants grow
where they are obliged to grow, rather
than where they desire TO grow. Be-
cause plant grows IN the woods IS little
reason 10 expect that it may not grow
equally as well in the sun. And then,
it is not necessary 20 wait until fall or
spring to take up the wild plants. At
every outing, whatever the time Of year
