Inasmuch as the British ex-misstonary Stokes
is now proved to have been caught not only red
handed in the act OF selling arms and ammu-
milton TO the slave raiders, In defiance or the
laws enacted by the civilized Powers OF the
world in congress assembled but to have been
actually captured N the company Of kibonge,
the greatest slave raider In Africa, the man who
murdered Emin Paclra. there appears 70 be no
reason or just cause for the cutlery now being
raised in Great Britain about Stokess sum
mary execution by the Belgian Major Lothaire,
Of the Congo Free State. The Major had just
marched through vast tract OF country entireN
desoated by the man hunts OF Kibonge-fnan
hunts which the latter could not have carried
out without the assistance OF Stokes, and as II
would have been impossible TO send the latter
back thousand miles through the forest TO be
Judged by the regular civil tribunal OF the Free
state capital there nothing left but to
hang him on the spot.

How Wuch Per Acre 2


AS considerable comment and VARYING
estimates predicted upon the output of
DR.. Mellette's potato patch have been
made, we have obtained the facts in
more exact form.
The garden consists of an ordinary
city lot, 6Ox12O feet, made rich by am.
pie application of COW lot and stable
manure together with 200 pounds kainit
and 200 pounds of Painters super phos-
phate and potash, and the whole wa
tered by stand pipes capped with spray
tips.
The potato patch consisted of five
rows, the first two being Early Rose
planted after the February freeze. g
next or middle row was Burbanks plant
ed last of that month, and the last two
were an unknown kind planted about
the 10th OF March.
The rows, having passway OF three
feet at the end, were la feet in length
eighteen inches apart and hills about
sixteen inches apart in the rows.
The product of the Early Rose was
phenomenal, some weighing three fourths
of pound each, but being dug as re-
quired no record was kept.
About May 3Oth the B1rbanks we're
dug by Mr.. A. J. Rogers, full, heaping
measure being given, and aggregating
four and one-half bushels of smooth
clean, marketable potatoes, besides a
wooden bucket full too small for use.
Scarcely hill had less than twenty
four good tubers, and twenty eight was
common, while one hill turned out thir-
tyrne of marketable size.
The two last rows were planted too
late and only produced three bushels.
At the Burbank rate the output was
1000 bushels of marketable potatoes,
and the same ground is now ready for
sweet potatoes, cow peas or other crops,
with the season made sure against
everything except billiards..
IN the production of this crop water
was turned on about five minutes every
day at cost for whole garden of 80 4S
per month.
Besides DC tatoes, single heads of let.
tuce we're produced measuring half 8
yard across, and turnips larger than So
hat crown. and strawberry short cake
every day.
We miss our oranges, but with gar
den and Jersey COW starvation casts no

Manure in it's Relation to Plant Evapora-
tion.


of moisture and, conversely, irrigation
is equivalent to mauuring. This APP
pli d primarily to the chemical effect,
but it will apply as well to the physical.
The water of the soil is the vehicle, con
stantiy in motion, by which organic
matter is first carried into the soil and
then by which capillary attraction
brings up from below fresh supplies of
mineral matter When rain falls 1t
sinks into the soil by force of gravity.
Later moisture leaves the soil by evapor-
alton and Transportation Evaporation
from leaves and surface of plants) and is
replaced by water from beneath brought
up by capillary action. In this way
most Of the essentials of plant growth,
being soluble in water, circulate in close
contact with the minute rootlets of the
plant, so that when the proper amount
Of water is in the soil, an abundance of
plant food is continually within easy
reach of the root hairs. In other words
the elements of fertility already in the
soil are made more available by a
proper water supply, which is equivalent
to the addition of more fertilizer.
But the plant is not content to depend
upon the motion of soil water alone for
it's supply of mineral food. A vast guam
tity of water is taken up by the roots,
thus diminishing the relative amount of
water around each rootlet. This defci-
surrounding more moist soil. Each
rOotlet becomes a sort Of field of attra-
ton to which are drawn mineral essen
tials of plant growth dissolved in the
soil water. This movement of fertile
ing material amounts to considerable,
since the amount Of water thus taken up
is enormous. Of course the plant uses
relatively small quantity of the water,
the bulk passing off through the leaves
This process is called transpira ton and
is little different from evaporation.
Evaporation Will take place from any
moist surface until the surrounding air
becomes saturated, but Transportation
from the surface of the leaves of plant
will continue even in a saturated atmos-
phere. The amount of water transpired
is astonishing. Experiments in England
by Lawes, and in Germany by Helreigel
show that farm crops during their pc
riOd of growth, eXhale water to the
amount of 200 to 300 times the amount
of dry matter in the crop.
But the thing that most concerns the
farmer and hortculturist is how to pre-
sent water to the plant in the most &C
Ceptable form, lie, in the capillary state
If there is too much water, CapilIarity is
overcome and the soil becomes satur ated;
if too little moisture, it becomes hygro-
scopic or iusensble and INSULT cient for
the needs of the plant.
A cheap mulch, though not materially
increasing the plant food increases the
retentiveness of the soil which it covers.
The farmer finds extensive mulching too
costly so he provides an inferior though
quite serviceable substitute, by keeping
two or three inches of his soil so loose
that capillary action will be limited in
exposing moisture to surface evapora-
ton Experiments by Sachs have shown

A BuHY blind Woman.

Miss Alice King, the novelist, who
has been wholly blind from the age of
seven, became a fearless horsewoman,
and would gallop v hills and along
rough moorland paths that would have
been impossible to any but the most
proficient rider. Miss King, who was
educated at home, gained more or less
proficiency in seven languages besides
her own, namely, French, German,
Italian, Spanish, Latin, Greek and He
brew. All her literary work has been
done with a typewriter, and with it's
aid she could write as quickly as a
person with sight ordinarily writes
with a pen. All Miss Kings time not
taken up with these literary labOrs
was occupied in teaching and improv-
ing the workingmen and lads in her
fathers parish; and by her own efforts
this unwearying blind girl established
for them a reading room, cricket club,
a band and other pleasures.-London

Runnig-For Boys.

Every American boy should learn to
run. in Greece, when the men and
women took better care of their bodies
than they ever have since, every boy,
IN girl too, was taught to run, Just
as the American child Is taught to
read. And as far as we can Judge
by the statues they have left behind
them, there were very few hollow.
chested, spindle-legged boys among
the Greeks. The Persian boy was
taught to speak the truth, run, ride,
and shoot the bow.
The English boy is encouraged to
run. In fact, at some Of the great
English public schools, boys Of thir-
teen and fourteen years Of age, like
Tom Brown and East at Rugby, can
six and eight miles cross-coun-
try in the great hare and hound runs.
Every boy is turned out twice a week,
out of doors, and made to run, and
Ill hlmsel full of pure fresh air and
sunshine, and gain more strength and
lie than any amount of weight-pulling
or dumb-bell work in stuffy gymna-
Sums would give him. See the result
the English boys as a whole are q
stronger set than we American BOYS.
Every English school-boy is to some
extent an athlete. And that is what
American boys should be. Not be-
cause football, baseball. and tennis
are valuable in themselves but for
the good they do in strengthening
boys bodies.
BY playing ball every day for hours
IN the open air; by exercising his arms
Dack, leg muscles in throwing. bat
ting running. and sliding; by going to
bed early and giving up all bad habits
in preparation for the games. a bow
stores up strength, which he can
draw on all his life long-that is why
every boy should be an athlete. But
not every boy can play football or
baseball. He may not be heavy or
strong enough; he may never be able
TO acquire the knack of catching or
batting the ball. Every boy can be-
come a runners. Scoville. Jr,, in

Where fondest memory weaves
A mesh of yearning tenderness
