innmus and His Love for Flowers.

When Linneus first saw an English com
mon withthe gorse in full bloom he burst
into tears and fell on his knees and thanked
God that he had been permitted TO see SO
glorious sight. The great naturalist had
a passionate love for flowers, in illustration
of which feeling pretty incident is re.
corded. When choosing an object with
which to connect his name Linneus did
not select any of the gorgeous flowers of
the tropics or the grand pine trees of his
native land, but rather a frail trailing herb
that rears its tiny pink bells some two or
three inches above the moss and fallen fir
needles in northern forests, and gave it the
name of Linn9a borealis, by which it is still
known. This plant became his badge and
formed the device on his bookplate, with
the motto, expressed in Latin, $50 deep
my love for flowers"

WHEAT CULTURE.
Causes of Poor Crops Suggestions About
Marketing.

Caoses of Poor Crops Suggestions About
Marketing.
Sow ing foul seed is one prime cause OF
sorry crops, according to writer in
Ohio Farmer. who expresses the follow
ing opinions: IF all the foul seeds with
our wheat were harvested to them
selves and measured It would surprise
most farmers. Yet this is not all. fOr 1t
costs as much TO SOW and reap this foul
growth. bushel for bushel, as it does the
wheat, and robbed the soil of as much
fertility, and, moreover, it must be got
out from among the wheat or make in
ferior flour, which will add another cost
to the crop.
"a proper preparation of the soil is too
much neglected by most farmers and this
adds another cause for poor crops. The
thorough preparation of the soil before
sowing is more oecessary for wheat
than most any other crop. All we can
do to insure a good crop ends with the
sowing of the seed Cultivated crops
may be planted on a poorly prepared
soil and by after cultivation the soil put
in order. But this cannot be done with
a wheat crop. Moreover, the greatest
enemy of the wheat crop is the freezing
and thawing Of winter, and well pre-
pared, compact seed bed enables the
wheat to root down in the solid earth and
be less liable to be thrown out of the
ground, and the very fine, mellow surface
| pushes a quick growth, enabling the
| plant TO grow sufficient blade to furnish
protection to the root. But an improve
| ment in the seed bed would not only dc
all this, which would increase the yield
in the end; but would require less seed,
which would go into the thousands OF
bushels saved, ard counting up profits il
will he found more in what we save than
in what we make
Another reason for poor crops is the
farmers lands are growing thin from
excessive cropping and they do moi
manure their land in any way. Ii the
farmers would manure their land hber-
ally with good stable manure or SOW
clover they would greatly increase Their
yield.
Another point | wish to suggest to
the reader is the marketing of theif
wheat. believe many of our farmers
cell their wheat at a disadvantage, and
believe many times twenty-five cents
mrre might he realized by having
their wheat made into -four and sell il
End feed the bran to their stock, and
thus a good portion of the fertility
would be returned TO the soil. A little
additional cost for better quality OF
seed, a little more work in preparing the
soil. the more liberal use of good
, manure. will return to the farmer IN
increased yield Of wheat, and thus
, greatly enhance the profit of wheat
growing"

The lNAO6blsAL fOiNM.
Eight years ago, when the Democratic
party came into power after standing un-
comfortably on the outside for quarter OF
a century, it was thought the climax in in
augural magnifcence had been reached.
But when the Republicans routed the De-
mocracy four years later and with Little Ben
returned to power they certainly outdid
the celebration which their rivals had in
dulged in, and now it is the aim OF all true
Democrats to eclipse even the Harrison in
auguration in brilliancy and in number of
people engaged in the festivities. II this
sort of rivalry goes on, and parties continue
to alternatein possession of the presidency,
as many acute observers think they will for
several years to come, it is a matter Of some
curiosity a. to where we shall stop in our
mad efforts to make display of partisan
Joy on these quadrennial occasions If we

gural fetes will outdo the most gorgeous
things that ever Rome saw in her most
profigate days.
You may rest assured that the people of
Washington are quite willing to have this
rivalry continue. 1t is all grist that comes
to their mill When Republican presi-
dent is elected. the Republican business
men Of the city take the lead in preparing,
for the inauguration, and when Democra:
is the successful candidate for president
the prominent Democrats come 20 the front.
But on every such occasion both Democrats
and Republicans help in the work and
make of the fete a public rather than a
party affair The people of Washington,
like people everywhere, are thrifty, and they
90 in for making an honest penny or two
out of these Inauguration celebrations. BY
contriviEg to make the receipts of the big
ball pay all expenses they avoid the trouble
of going down into their own pockets fol
funds, and the amount of money that the
hotels, boarding houses, saloons, restau
rants carriage men, florists and Other
tradesmen are able to make cannot be esti
mated Nor is this all. About one-hali
the people of the city conclude that they
will rent out a room or two to strangers fol
the inauguration week. They want pretty
good prices, too, and usually manage to get
what they ask.
Along Pennsylvania avenue, the route Of
the parade there is mania for selling
windows and standing room on temporary
platforms. Some fancy prices have beer

on Saturday about 40 guests, serving them
