kiyou and others have taken preliminary
steps to unite with the State board, and il
exhibition some beautiful displays of their
natural products.
When the State board ns;ituted its ex-
hibtion it did so at great expense and
without means to defray it.
The board of directors thought that
after a time the exhibition would be self
supporting and perhaps revenue might
be realized. But this expectation has not
materializsd and the board is making
every effort to liquidate its indie btedhess. A
committee is canvassing the business men
of the city for regular monthly subscrip-
tons. The board hopes to get enough
money in this way not only to pay off all
standing debts, but also secure enough
pledged subscribers whereby the exhibit
ton may be made a permanent one.

The State University Receives a
Large Private Theological
Library.

Public beneficence recognizes the Uni
versity of California with an unpleasant
infrequency, and while private institutions
in the East. such as Harvard, have an an
nual stream of requests OF an average of
half million, the State University finds its
gifts only in intervals, and even then not
from the grea; milliOnaires hose fortunes
have been drawn from the State, but
rather from those of lesser means whose
race for wealth has not made them forget
the interests OF higher education.
The latest gift to the university comes
not from a man of wealth but from one
who has given his services to education in
the State, whose main accumulation has
been not in dollars but in books-volumes
representing much personal sacrifice in
their obtaining, and purchased win the
Judgment that need and special training
alone give.
This library. mum bering 2014 volumes,
has been but now given to the library Of
the university by the widow of its former
owner. the Rev. E. 3. Walworth. Mrs.
Sarah b. WalwOrth gives the books of
her husband as a memorial to him, and
they VIII be known as the Walworth col
lection. The library consists of about 1000
volumes on theology and the other half on
the practical subjects that attract an edu-
Gator at work iu the world. The lot is a
valuable addition to the university library
and will raise the library to a total of
$500 volumes. The Rev. E. B. Wal
worth was for number of years trustee
of the College of California and was The
organizer and for ten years the president
of the Pacific Coast Female Seminary
located in Oakland.
Librarian Rowell has just completed ar
rangementS with the State library at Sac
rameDto for exchanging books between
tho TWO libraries. Whenever any refer
ence works are desired by a student or
professor if they are rot in Berkeley Ii
brary they will be sent down from Sacra-
mento for use. By this means the capacity
of the university library is practically
doubled.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.
FALL POTATO PLANTING SAID
To BE SUCCESSFUL.
GRINDING OF ED-IMPORTANT
.>-.+ FOR STOCK.
The Proper Time to Manure Fields
Not in the Spring but Before the
Shows of Winter Come-Some Valu-
able Suggestions for Dairymen-
Agricultural Notes.

Fall planting of potatoes is certainly
worthy of careful experiment, for the
results so far in isolated cases seem
to warrant one in believing that it is
an improvement over the old method.
The earlier that we can get the early
crop of potatoes into market the more
we are sure to realize from them. BY
planting the seed in October We get
the potatoes into market by the sec
ond week in July, and in good condl-
ton too, not half grown and green.
Certainly there is some risk TO run
unless the soil is very we'll drained.
The chief danger comes not from the
freezing weather of winter, but from
the wet thawing days of very early
spring. The excessive amount of water
in the soil then will rot the potatoes
unless the land is perfectly drained
so that most of the water will be car
ried away.
There is another question that de-
mands more experiment with before
the operation Of fall planting can be
carried on extensively. In the few
experiments that 1 have seen winter
mulch of straw some six inches in
depth was placed over the ground late
in the fall, and left there until spring.
On extensive potato fields this would
be quite a serious drawback. The
question is whether this mulch is
really necessary SO far, l know of no
one who has tried October planting
without using the mulch. On the other
hand. how ever, nearly every farmer
has found stray potato vines coming
up on all fields in the spring of the
year. These potato sets have remain
ed in the ground all winter without
the mulch, and they have proved just
as hardy as if protected. More light
on this subject is needed.
The methods of planting fall pota-
toes are very simple. The land is
plowed and prepared early in October,
after most of the harvesting is fin
ished, and the seed is planted the same
as in the spring. Then the ground is
covered with a thick mulch, and held
in position so that the wind cannot
blow it away. Nothing more is re-
Quirod of the crop until early spring.
The mulch is then removed, and as the
potatoes come up they are Cultivated
and treated the same as spring. planted
tubers By this method we get the
potatoes earlier: they reach maturity
before the early summer drought; and
they are planted at a season when
there is much less farm work to do
than in the spring. Two things ap-
parently are very essential. One is
land that is perfectly drained. l
doubt if a good crop would be raised
in this way on thick, heavy soil that
had not been drained. The other
thing necessary is a winter mulch.
If the latter can be dispensed with
the method will prove far more profit
able to large growers than it will at
present. w. E. Farmer, in American
CultivatOr.

NARROWING SOWS.

The SOW that is bred in autumn
needs special care during the winter
months if good pigs are expected.
Very many pigs are lost through the
improper care of the sows, and with
hogs selling at present prices the
farmer should not run the risk of los
ing any Of the young pigs through neg
lect. The unnatural habit of the SOW
trying to destroy her young comes
largely from improper diet and unsan-
itary surroundings. If the mother is
feverish and abnormally excited it is
impossible to say what she will do,
even toward her young offspring. In
fanticide is not uncommon among hu-
man beings that are surrounded by
filth and unsanitary conditions, and
we cannot wonder that some of our
Door brutes have the same desire when
we consider the life they have to lead.
The ration of the narrowing sows
should be generously varied, and only
sufficient corn be given to generate
enough heat to resist the cold. In the
time they need scarcely any
corn, but the conditions are different
in winter. The animal should not be
fattened. for this causes fever at the
narrowing time. and makes the mother
frenzied. A reasonable amount of food
is apt to make the animals fat unless
given fair amount Of exercise In the
open air. II the sows will not take

CHAPTER NNIu


When the two drove away on the
first stage Of their experiment, Mr.
and Mrs. Waring, the Rector and Mrs.
Fellowes, Dacre and a few others
stood watching them from the great
stone steps Of the hall.
Mrs. -Fellowes was rejecting With
mixed feelings on Ovens goodbye to
her mother, which by chance she had
witnessed The girl had already, in
the face Of every one, hidden her a
quiet and emOtionless farewell but
just at the last she had swept round
suddenly, as if she were driven, and
had caught the little daZed creature

in her arms. and had given her an i'm
perative hug of the volcanic order.
AS it was first experience, no one
could blame the little woman from
shrinking visibly from it, and, when it
was over, for escaping with a sigh
to the side of her husband, and slip
ping her hand into his with the air
of one who has escaped a danger.
Gwen allowed one flash of angry pain
to shoot from her eyes, then she walk

hand quite properly on her fathers

to have in readiness.

BERLIN REAL ESTATE.
Increase in Buildings Since Last Year
Is Said to Be Small

The number Of improved building
lots in Berlin, Oct 1, 1898, amounted
to 22,467 with an insurance value of
1898, O23, 100 marks. The increase in
buildings since last year is only $780,
while the increase of population is
from $1,000 to $4,000 souls. Oct. 1,
1893, Berlin had 1889 unoccupied
apartments, against 2S,63S Oct 1, 1897.
s'ut the decrease of the building~ac-
tivity in Berlin proper is more than
equalized by the building increase in
the suburbs. Charlottenburg had last
year an increase Of population of
about $4,000, Rixdorf about 1000, and
SchOeneberg about 5000 souls. The
other suburbs can also show an in
crease. But this increase of popula-
ton has caused in the suburbs a large
overproductiOns of apartments, and it
is question whether even the hoped
for wholesale annexation to the capital
will bring about a change Of these
conditions. Only the extension of eX
listing and establishment of new
means of transportation can justify a
building boom in many parts of the
suburbs of Berlin. A census of res
taurants and saloons in the German
empire was taken last year. .tcord
ing to the summaries Prussia had in
1879. 64.721 restaurants with saloon
license, 65.S66 saloons with whisky Ii
cense. 14,19S saloons without whisky
license and 1904 whisky shops. In
1893 the respective numbers are:
65,923. G6O95. 12.545, and 17.6OS. The
saloons without whisky license show
a decrease while there is an appar-
ent increase of the others. But since
the population of Prussia has in
creased during the period from 1879
to 1893 from 26O92,532 to 30, 236, 997
the number of saloons has in fact con-
siderably decreased.

FALL MANTRING

Manure applied in the fall to the sur
face, either of plowed or grass land,
will, by the action of the frost and
rain, become so thoroughly pulverized
and distributed through the soil that
it acts more quickly. and is in better
condition for plants to assimilate than
the same manure would be if applied
in the spring.
The loss from evaporation and drain
age unless the surface is very steep
will probably be much less than the
loss resulting from fermentation if the
manure is allowed to accumulate In
cellars Or the washing if left in open
yards.
On most soils and for most crops,
surface application is better than
blowing in, and especially if manure
is applied in the fall but in any case,
except for manure that is so course
that it cannot be mixed with the soil
by cultivation, it is a safe rule to keep
the manure as near the surface as pos
sible. and to have it as thoroughly
mixed with the seed bed as can be
done. This carries with it the neces-
sity of using only such bedding and
absorbents as are Of themselves fine or
easily pulverized.
For our common field crops-cOrn,
oats, rye, barley, potatoes, etc.-it is
not profitable to use more than from
fifteen to twenty carloads t5-7 cords
