The Closing Day.

Tie platform, after all the terrible
labor pains, was presented and adopted
in the forenoon. Its reading WAS fre-
quently interrupted with laundering
applause, especially over the Cuban
plank, when Fred Grant waved the Gu
ban flag, and the gold standard plank,
when delegates rose in a body and
checred. Teller offered his free coin
age substitute and il was voted down
S1S 1-2 to lO5 3 and the gold plank
then adopted Sl2 12 to ITO 1-2. The
whole platform was then adopted viva
voce. Then Teller impresslvely an
nounccd the bolt of the silver-men that
had been PREDETERMINED, saying the gold
standard would lower the price OF farm
products and that protective tariff
could not be maintained. And at l: 70
O'Clock he and the Colorado, Arizona,
Nevada. Montana and parts of the
Utah, South Dakota and North Caroli-
ma oelegations, Sc in all, left the hall
amid cheers and shouts Of good bye,
my lover, good bye.

AMONG THE MAGAZINES

The New Years number of
Frank LeslIe's Popular Month Y
abounds In excellent reading mat
ter and striking illustrations. Jan
uary Days IN Morocco" by A. b.
DeGucrville, is an article of much
interes'; also "EngI1sh Christmas
and Scntt,sh New Year" will be
much enjoyed.
The Scribner Magazine, always
good. excels itself in the January
number. One cannot fail to be
we'll informed on the topics of the
day who reads with care the arti-
cles contained in "The Point of
View" "The Field of Art" and
"About the World" departments
of this magazine
The Ladies Home Journal for
January is delightful from the ex-
quisite art cover by Albert Lynch
to its last page. "My Early Days
on the Stage" by Mary Anderson
de Navarro, shows the hard life of
an actress struggling for fame.
"Neigbborhood Types" "The
Widows Yarn" "Violet" and
William the Conqueror" are all
good fiction. The home, fashion
and society hints are up to date
and safe guides to follow.
The Cosmopolitan is one among
the cheapest and best magazines
published It's price is only 81 a
year and it is full of instructive
and entertaining reading. The
January number is out and worth
several times its price.

Growing Strawberries.

Mr.. J. Slough six years since in his
strawberry beds excavated the ground
in each alternate row two feet in depth,
and says that this year the vines are still
stronger and better in those rows and re-
sist the drouth and produce fruit much
longer and better than the rows that
only received ordinary cultivation. Mr..
Slough has an artesian we'll put down
and p1ped his strawberry beds, and finds
them much benefited by irrigation. He
now proposes providing frost protection
for his strawberry beds, so as to ripen
berries in time for the early market and
the big prlc-s that then prevail.
Is there not valuable hint for straw
berry growers in Mr.. Slough's expert
m ent IN deep preparation of the ground ?
This of course might depend much on
the character of the subsoil, which in
Mr.. Slough's case was hardpan, but we
believe in all cases deep excavation and
cultivation in aiding and raising Of W .ter
from below by capillary attraction on d
enable plants to much better resist our
spring drouths. Journal

Like all other crops Kaffir corn yields
best on rich land. 1t responds well to
GENEROUS treatment. Its culture, how
)ever, is not limited to soils of certain
classes and qualities. 1t may be grown
On stiff clays and ON light sand, In river
bottoms and ON poor uplands, and it will
yield profitable returns on soil too poor
for corn.
Perhaps the strongest recommends
Dtion of Kaffir corn lies in the fact that
lit will produce crop on less rain
Than is required for corn, and that it is
aot affected so disastro usly by hot winds
Ut is, therefore especially adapted to the
,emiarid west where corn succeeds only
)nce in five or six years because OF hot
Winds and drouth. 1t is owing chiefly
10 this quality that it's culture has spread
10 rapidly in Kansas and Oklahoma.
Hot winds are the main cause of the
allure of the corn crop in this region,
vI1d they are never more destructive
han when they happen to come when
he corn is tasseling. They cause the
pollen to dry up and the silk is not fer.
Sfiized. Even with a sufficient rainfall,
/ few days of these whitening blasts
rom the southwest at tasseling time
knay reduce the yield so per cent. KAT
I fr corn is not affected in the same way.
Fertilization takes place more readily
