The problem Before sara.tn.

To complete our picture OF Senior Sa-
Easta's difficulties we must remember
the history of Spain. Englishmen have
only begun fully to realize the pride OF
empire, but the Spaniard was full Of It
for centuries. For three hundred years
he was the master OF the vast New
World, of Kingdoms larger than any
European states, OF races counted by
millions. Of mines. forests, and planta-
lions which seemed sufficient, II only

lIcontlnuou, Session of tn, unlvsr.lty.

Continuous Session OF the UniVerhity.
Great interest is being manifested
throughout the state in the radical
change at the University. which con-
templates keeping the institution open all
the year. Until the experiment has had
a fair trial It Is impossible to say
whether the proposed continuous session
is a wise move or not, and in viewsof the
fact that 1t is move evidently intended
for the best interests OF the University,
and to benefit the hundreds of young
men and wumen Of the state who cannot
attend college in the winter, It would be
well to withhold criticism of the action
OF the regents until thorough test of the
plan is made.
II is well known that many who have
been ambitious to avail themselves Of the
advantages OF the University have been
deprived Of the privilege because in the
winter months they are obliged TO earn
their living at teaching or other winter
pursuits and that II they were permit
ted to enjoy the privilege of spending
their vacations from work in the manner
proposed they would eagerly grasp the
opportunity. It remains to be seen
whether the number OF such ambitious
young men and women Is sufficient to
warrant a permanent establishment Of
the new system. A year or two should
determine this point and the Intelligent
Ger hopes that the experiment win be
successful.

Fanny and Miss Poland were on good

Miss Poland thought she had loafed

quotes the Lexington (Ky.) Argonaut.
Fanny made regular visits to her
and seemed to take great interest in
the proceeding. The duck rarely left
her nest. After sitting for about a
week she sickened and died. Fanny
seemed almost heart-broken over the
untimely death of her friend. The

from her accustomed place in the yard
and began q search for her. l found
her in the ducks nest with the eggs
underneath her. The next morning l
visited the poultry house and found
Fanny still covering the eggs. 1 con-
cluded not to disturb her, but await re-
suits.
''This continued for some weeks, and
ct the end of the usual time allowed for
incubation found that six lively little
ducks had become citizens of the poul-
try yard. Fanny seemed very proud
of her success as an incubator. The
little ducks followed her, and seemed
to know no difference between Fanny
and a barnyard fowl.

Much of the cultivated land in the
great Mississippi valley is thoroughly
watersoaked. The season is several
weeks late, rain continues to fall and
with few exceptions but little farm
work has been done. Every grower
is anxious to get into his fields and
begin turning the soil, Of course it
is advisable to push blowing and plant
ing to the very limit, but great harm
can be done a clay soil or a'clay loan
by blowing and narrowing while wet,
this holding true of any section of the
country. 1t will require all the sea-
son and maybe two summers to get
the ground back to the best filth if it
is tramped or turned while it contains
sufficient water to cause caking when
exposed to the sun The Jumps OF
earth become almost rs hard as brick
and the whole field is apparently life
less, making after-culture difficult and
full crops an impossibility,
Where there is a large percentage
of sand in the soil, as is the case in
Kansas, Nebraska, the Dakotas and
other states further west, as we'll as
some of our middle and eastern states,
very little harm will be done; but on
the corn soils of the middle west, it
will pay to keep off the fields a few
days longer and avoid the danger.
Where land is well underdrained it
will dry out rapidly and a few days
delay at the beginning a more than
be made up by the greater ease in Gull
tivating, if plowed and narrowed when
it does not contain an excess of water.

A great deal has been said within
the last few years about jumping beans
and other seeds. Many of them have
been advertised as great curiosities,
and a great deal of money has been
made from their sale. Careful exam
nation of these jumping seeds has
proven that instead of jumping, as al
legged, they merely rolled about. This
is due to the presence of a grub, which,
crawling upon one side of the interior
of the seed, disturbs its equilibrium,
and causes it to readjust itself. In
this connection it is interesting to note
the fact that there are certain seed pods
that have the faculty of throwing their
contents to a considerable distance.
A lady gathered a quantity of pods of
the wisteria, and without any particu-
lar thought as to their disposition or
habits, placed them on the corner of
the mantel in the dining room. A few
nights afterward the house was dis
turbed by a series of reports that be-
came quite startling. There was a
sharp crack, then a rattling sound, for
which no n could account. Some of
the members of the family went down
stairs and looked all through the house
with mt results. They were barely
settled in their beds again when the
noise was repeated, II seemed to
proceed from the dining-room, and a
few minutes of waiting at the door of
that apartment revealed the fact that
a series Of minor commandments of
some sort was going on there. Strik-
ing a light the source of the racket
was traced by another explosion. In
the morning the wisteria seeds we're
swept up from all portions of the
room, some of them having struck on
the opposite wall and ratified down be-
hind the furniture. The pods were
damp when they were brought in, and
became very dry in the heat of the
apartment. The following year the
pods were gathered and placed on ex-
hibition, and excited considerable
comment among callers who had never
heard of these peculiarities.

Mayonnaise dressing is made by

Put the yolks of two eggs into a

at time, from a half to a pint of olive
oil, stirring rapidly and steadily oil

versing the motion may cause it to

occasionally, a few drops of lemon
juice or vinegar. Ii too thick when
finished, add vinegar OF lemon juice

should curdle, begin again with one
or two more yolks in another plate, and
after stirring well add one teaspoonful
at a time of the curdled mayonnaise,
and when all has been stirred i'll con-
tinue adding oil as before until the de-
sired amount is obtained. Everything
used in making the mayonnaise dress
ing, dish included, should be ice cold,

With the return of spring comes the
old argument that spraying kills the
bees in the neighborhood, and if the
bees are killed the fruit blossoms eau
not be fertilized and a failure of the
fruit crop will follow. Everyone who
has given any thought to the matter
knows the great Importance of bees to
horticulture, as it is solely through
their search for honey that the pollen
of fruit blossoms is carried from n
tree to another, and the flowers thus
fertilized for the production of fruit.
If the trees are sprayed just as they
are in fullest bloom many bees will be.
killed, and injury result to the bee
keepers of the n~eighdorhood.
l have sprayed trees year after year
with bees in the immediate vicinity of
the trees, without injury to a single
bee, because / never sprayed the trees
until the blossoms had dropped their
petals, and at that time the bees were
not working on the trees, the nectar
having all been taken out.
In my opinion there is nothing to
be gained by spraying the trees before
the blossoms have fallen. Before that
time the curculio or Goblin moths have
not begun their work, aud there is q
chance that spraying earlier will not
have a particle of effect, and very often
this is the case.
Many fruit growers are very mspS
preiudiced against bees, bat this is bA
