Chicago. Feb. 2S.-Thcre are intima-

other woman's success lies at the root
of the trouble In the Salvation Army.
and that the beautiful and intellectual
Maud Ballington Booth. whose wonder
full work and great personal popularity
in the United States have lacerated the
feelings of other female members Of the
Booth family. is the thorn In the flesh.
Major Addie of Springfield, COM
mnnder of the Illinois division of the
Salvation Army, and Major Stillwell of
Minneapolis, directing the forces in Mill
nesota and Northern Michigan, are in
this city. A delegation of Salvationists
met them on their rcutrn from the East.
and Piled them with questions concern
ing the trouble between the Booths and
the revolt In New York.
Major Addie said: "All is at peace so
far as the army in general is concerned.
BallIngton Booth will not lead any re-
volt, and we believe the whole matter
will be settled amicably and Ballington
Booth restored to us. don't know what
the trouble is between them. nor does
any one else in the army but General
Booths immediate family. 1t is a family
difficulty entirely, and being that, we
look for an amicablc adjustment Of 1t
all when the general gets home from

Judgment for u Time.
New York, Feb. 27.-A general
prayer meeting was held Mt Salvation
Army headquarters tonight. after
which the following circular, issued by
Temporary Commander Eva G. Booth,
was read:
"My Dear Comrades-Now that the
general has appointed me to the conf
mand OF the United States until tho mr.
rival of the new commissioners, has
ten to place myself In your hands In
this season of deep and hcart-rendinS
sor1ow, to be of what service God can
enable me to push forward the saliva
tIon of souls. 1t has given me untold
comfort in this terrible storm to re-
celvc assurances of loyalty from the
brigadIcrs, divisional and staff. Every
hour brings me from all parts of the
field testimonials of the sorrow felt
on the one hand and OF unswerving
loyalty on the other. l will. therefore,
conllne my first letter to you to ex-
pressing 4 few heartfelt feelings sug-
gcstcd by the circumstances Of the
hour:
"Do not be Influenced to a final
decision on the whole case until the
generals return to England. when he
has promised TO fully consider and
decide upon the issues involved.
'I.et me ask you TO fix your minds
upon the principle at stake. Should
the general make one law for Ameri-
ca and another for India. apply one
law to his son and another to his
brigadlers and field officers? These
questions lie at the root of the present
distress. and 1t is to preserve the unity
Of the whole army that the general
has felt 1t right to decide and act rs he
has done.
"Stand by the army. It is world.

purpose.

r,,,yer,s Berry Bulletin.


The growers Of berries for market
should realize that ordinary farm meth
DDS are not sufficient.
Berries cannot be grown and market
ed as easily as wheat, corn and pota-
toes.
Berry growing, like market garden
ing, requires the greatest concentra-
ton of good soil, labor and thought.
Too much land is the bane of most
fruit growing as well as farming.
Success would be more certain If acre
age were divided, and fertility, prepara-
ton and cultivation increased.
Intensified farming and concentration
of energy are the diamond drills that
bore out success.
Take counsel from books, papers, ana
practical growers, but let 1t be tenn
pered with your own best judgment anu
experience.
Actual knowledge and practical ex-
perience should go hand in hand.
Let the beginner commence mode
rately, and go slow. Do only what can
10 well done. Nothing but the best
product will pay.
Use a limited variety of best plants,
producing large, firm, attractive fruit.
Have a note book ready and make
a complete record of all facts and dates
for future reference.
When one acre has been mastered
producing one or two hundred bushels
of best fruit, then acreage may be in
creased.
Few realize the actual cost of bring
ing an acre of bush berries to good
bearing age-be careful.
You may safely estimate, that after
securing land in a high state OF cuitiva-
ton, every acre. of good small fruits,
well set, missing hills filled in and
brought to bearing age, will cost from
$12O to S150 in well earned dollars or
their equivalent in honest work at Sl.26
per day.

Orchard GrnsL

The orchard grass has many good
qualities, boath rs n grass to cut for
hay and as n pasture grass. 1t Is rather
coarse, II sown thin. 1t must be cut
early. or you lose great deal Of value.
It will usually blossom about the mid
die Of June. and ought TO be cut at that
time. Some complain that 1t does not
hold in the soil rs well as some other
grasses; but this depends upon the
quality OF the land. and whether 1t Is
well adapted to 1t or not. 1t has the
quality OF starting earlier, after being
cut or grazed off by cattle, than most OF
our other grasses. 1t is apt to grow In
clusters; but this can be avoided, to n
very great extent, by good cultivation
Of the land, and by sowing 1t thicllly.
1t requires to be sown thickly-two or
three bushels Of seed to the acre. II
sown alone; but n liberal mixture Cf
other species will give better result.

pl,ti.la.o anil stnmlnnte Grasses.

The grasses differ in their floral
structure. They are not all uniform in
their mode OF growth. We have n
class that may be called dioecious
grasses; that is, grasses in which the
male and the female, or the staminato
and pistillatc, organs of the flower are
arranged on entirely distinct plants.
That is the case with only very lin
tied number of species. What is called
the buffalo grass which grows in the
South, and in Colorado, and generally
on the plains, Is one of that kind. l
have seen patches of buffalo grass in
Colorado, composed entirely Of stam-
mate, or male plants; and ether patches
composed entirely Of pistillate, or fe-
male plants. Now, the pistiilate plants
must get their pollen from the etaIn-
mate plants, which may be at some dis
tance off. 1t was at first supposed that
they were different species, until the
fact was discovered that one grass was
simply a staminate, or male plant; and
tho other pistillate, or female plant,
both belonging to the same species. or
course, the seed is produced only on
the pistiiiate plants.
Another Class OIL grasses Hluy pe
called the monoecious grasses; that is,
where the staminatc and pistillate flow
ers are on the same plant, but in dis
tinct positions, separated from each
other. The most familiar example OF
that is our common Indian-corn. Every
farmer knows that the Gtaminate flow
ers of Indian-corn come on the top,
called the "tassels;" while the pistil-
late flowers are arranged on an axis
along the main stalk, called the ear"
and that the pollen from the staminato
flowers must find it's way through the
pistils, which are the silks attached
to the ears. as everybody knows, before
fertilization can take place.-Fiint.

zone to prevent the growth OF trees.
However, these forests are broken nero

steppes of Russia, the prairies OF tho
United States, and the pampas OF the
Argentine Confederation. There arc
also the great plains of Australia, the
desert of Sahara, the sandy plains of

how to dress for the Philadelphia mar

II ia not an easy matter to fattcn
broilers. as the food rather makes them
grow instead of fattening. Then,
again, to force them, may result IN leg
weakness, bowel disease, etc. Do not
begin to fatten until they are eight
weeks old, and then allow two weeks
for them to fattcn. Feed three times
a day and scatter gill Of millet seed
between meals. Here is an excellent
fattening food: Melt one pound CT

Boundry creek, British Columbia, where
there ares 10 men to one woman, want
wives Steady work, with good pay,
with the fact that British Columbia law
frowns severely on gambling and drink
ing. have made the miners prosperous.
The question Of getting wives was raised
as joke, but the outcome has been to
thoroughly advertise the fact that a
large number OF manageable girls can
find good husbands by emigrating to the
mining districts OF British Columbia. j..
g. Devlin, a miner, who went east re-
Gently to sell mining property, discussed
the matter and got the newspapers to
discuss it. He said that If they would
send 1900 good girls out to Rossland
alone, every one would get a good hus-
band. Reports show that already the
girls are talking up the matter seriously.
The miners are willing, and the first lot
ofwould be wives will be arranged for
next spring.
