stagnant, closing at the lowest. with the
losses at fractions in the railways, but

important factor today, as il has been

be more delay in dealing with the Cuban

that quarter were largely in excess of
yesterdays purchases.

The census of 1871 disclosed the fact
that the women in the United King
dom outnumbered the males by no
fewer than s93, 1875. In 1851 this de-
plorable disparity in numbers had

fair column would carry the tale of its
grievances from London right across
the border beyond Carlisle, and even
there they would find no redress.
The census figures prove that in Ire
land a woman's chances Of finding her
mate are better than in any other part
of the United Kingdom. For every
1000 males, Ireland IS blessed with l =
029 females, a disparity which need
not make any Irish girl despair. Eng
land ranks next as a matrimonial
market; as for every 200 men there
are only CT females to spare. Scotland
has 1912 females for every 1000 males,
and must be content to be stunned of
marrying girls.
The islands adjacent to our shores
are the least promising as matrimonial
hunting grounds; for no fewer than
1926 females have to be apportioned
among 1000 males. Throughout the
United Kingdom there are approx
mateIy 900 females TO attract every

The problem of the sexes assumes
startling proportions when we consid-
er that the females in the United King
dom alone, if placed in single file at
intervals of little over six feet, could
whisper a secret entirely round the
earth at the equator.

A LADY OF THE GARTER.
Hollands Young Queen VIII Wear
the Royal Decoration
the Left Arm.

If, as is suggested, Queen Victoria
confers upon Queen Wilhelmina the
Order of the Garter, the young queen
of Holland will be the first lady to re-
ceive that decoration from her ma
jesty's hands.
The comforting of the Order of the
Garter upon ladies was common
enough prior to the reign of Henry
VI The order was confined mainly
to the wives or near relatives of men
who had rendered the state some sig
nal service or were held in high favor
at court.
Ladies of the Order" as they were
styled, were as numerous in those
days as knights of the Garter are at
present, and a lady decked out in all
the insignia of the order was only less
picturesque in appearance than the
reigning sovereign herself. She wore
the George, the star, the mantle. the
hood, the collar and other decorations,
while the garter itself. a beautiful and
costly jewel bearing the motto "Honi
soft qui nal Y pense"-encircled the
left arm.
The order for ladies was allowed to
'
made to re-establish it. The country.
however, was in the throes of a great
upheaval. wild war" broke the CON
verse of the wise" People thought,
and wrote, and read of nothing but
battle, defeat, and victory; and the
peaceful advocates of the restoration
of the honor of the order for ladies
met with but a lukewarm reception.
So discouraging, indeed, was this that
no further attempt was made to OBJ
tain the royal assent, and Ladies OF
the Order" became Il memory.
1t is, of course, within the power
of Queen Victoria, as sovereign of the
order, to confer the garter upon any
lady whom she may wish TO honor
in that way. Her ma iesty has already
instituted the following orders for
ladies: The Royal Order of Victoria
and Albert. the Imperial Order of the
Crown of India, and the Order of the
Royal Red Cross.
No more beautiful or impressive
decoration could the girl queen OF
wear on her coronation day
than the Order of the Garter-London

each rain, but be careful not to work the field when the plants are very wet from rain or dew. As a rule, this crop requires smaller amount of cul- tivation than corn.
 The time of harvesting will depend upon the use for which the crop is in- tended. From feeding experiments it appears that the plant will be eaten best and give the most satisfactory results if cut just as the pods are form ing. If to be used for soiling purposes. cutting can begin when the plants are in early bloom and can be kept up un- til the pods begin to ripen. If desired for hay, cut when in full bloom, but this will also vary with the variety, since some kinds will drop their leaves much earlier than others, and it is quite important that as many leaves bo secured as possible. When the crop is preserved in the silo cut in the same stages as when for hay. However, late cuttings will be preserved in a more palatable condition in the silo than aA dry forage The bean is rather diff cult to cure as hay, especially in moist climates. A good plain to follow is to allow the plants to lie in the swath or windrow until wilted and then gather into small piles. Care should be taken that these piles are so constructed as to admit of thorough ventilation to the very center. The hay should be han dled as little as possible in curing and carrying to the barn.

that district and it is only question of time when they will yield him rich return for his labor.
 The Bulletin reports that the Spen- ezuma Mining company already has thirty men at work on it's mines near Black Rock, fifteen miles from Fort Thomas. The company has eight claims, carrying gold, copper and sil- yer, and it is said to have already or dered 40 tons of mill machinery. Fort Thomas will be the supply point of the company.
 In 1897 one-tenth of the 11,678, ,000 ounces of gold produced was due to the cyanide process. Only within the last ten years has the knowledge been utilized that gold is soluble in a solu- ton of cyanide of potassium. Gold bearing ore and screenings of low average can be profitably worked by this process alone and the increasing yield of the metal is in part due to the fact.
 At Nacossari the Copper Queen com pany is prosecuting vigorously the con- struction work of the buildings at their reduction works, at the river about six miles from the mine, and the locality is described by recent visitor as "as- suming the appearance of a young Pullmah," says the Oasis. All the struc- lures are of stone and brick, and are building on scale of colossal dimen- sions. The mine, which will rival in it's output the greatest copper mines in the world, has on the 500-foot level a ledge 1855 feet wide in its narrowest part, all in good ore. Seven hundred feet below this tunnel 5000 feet long follows the vein through the mountain, and a railroad from the reduction works six miles away will traverse this tunnel, taking ore from the ledge to the ore bins at the smelters.

are used, fairly good crop of forage
 may be obtained, if planted after some
 of the earlier small grains, such as rye and barley, have been harvested. In
 this way, two crops may be secured
 from the same field in a single seasons
 one of small grain, and the other of soy beans Another practice is to drill
 the beans in between the rows of corn after the last cultivation. The method of seeding will depend, of course, upon the kind of crop which it is desired to
 harvest. If it is wanted for hay or
 green fodder, SOW either broadcast or
 with grain drill, but if beans are de- sired, plant in drills only, having the
 rows three or four feet apart.
 There is considerable variation as to
 the amount of seed sown per acre in
 the different parts of the country.
 Some farmers use only half bushel.
 while others prefer twice as much or
 even more. As a general rule, one half to three-fourths of a bushel per
 acre will be sufficient Enough beans should be sown to give an average of five or six plants per foot in the row. If nothing better is at hand, an ordi- nary grain drill, with enough holes stopped up to give the desired distance
 between the rows, may be used. When the seed has been drilled in rows close together or has been sown broadcast, very little cultivation will be neces-
 sary. It will sometimes be found ad- visable, however, to cultivate the
 drilled field soon after planting, in case the land is foul and the weeds get a start. Use a light harrow for this pur-
 pose and cultivate shallow and ire quently. The best results from culti- vation are obtained when the ground is inclined to pack slightly. Stir after

TREES CLOSE TO BUILDINGS.

While it is very desirable to have both fruit and ornamental trees about the house and farm buildings, yet their too close proximity is detrimental to health and comfort. as the trees that extend their branches or overhang the roof cause it to decay by preventing rapid evaporation and the portion thus affected will need replacing long be- fore the parts that have sun and air. The falling leaves will stop the gutters. rendering the cisterns Impure, If not filthy The dense foliage renders the rooms dark and damp. So many mis- takes are made in setting trees on new plantations. When setting trees for shade you want them near the buiId- ings, that you may be benefited by them quickly. As a consequence, you plant them close up to the building, say ten or fifteen feet In a few years they have grown to good size: then you wish you had them farther re- moved. You commence by cutting out every other one, in hope of undoing your mistake. In few years you find the trees are still too close and you top to remedy the evil. This destroys the beauty of the trees. We made this mistake and have been cutting out and cutting back, until now we almost wish there were no trees at all
 No trees for shade should be planted closer than forty feet of the house. If you do, our word for it, in ten or f1f- teen years you will regret it. Trees may sometimes be crowded on the lawn, but the buildings should have plenty of space for sunlight and air Western Fruit Grower

BROAD TIRES ON THE FARM.

My opinion has been asked as to the benefit which would be derived Dy the use of broad tires on country roads and on the fields. There is no ques' tion in my mind that on hard roads or solid ground broad tires are the best. The broad tire is also best on moderately soft ground, but on ground soft enough for the wheels to sink be- low the felloes the suction is so great that in some instances which have come under my observation it has re quired four horses to move an empty wagon. The lime carters in this sec tion have learned this fact, and when the mud is deep either use narrow tires or do not cart at all.
 If broad tires were used exclusively on the roads the ruts would be core. spondingly wide, but with part narrow

POOR SAND.

Several months ago local company bought a carload of crushed ore in Mexico. Advlces were duly and oni- cia1ly received that the ore had been shipped, twenty tons of it. Weeks slipped away, and the ore did not come. The smelting company polite ly asked the local agent of the rail- road company when it would be here. The local agent said he had never heard of it. The smelting company then appealed to the general agent The general agent gave it up-it was a conundrum. Along the line the question passed until it reached po- tent official, who started out a tracer for the carload of ore.
 A carload of crushed gold ore looks like lot of coarse yellow sand. and this particular carload had been knocked about and disrespected as a carload of common sand should be.

tires, the broad tires will sink in the ruts in case of freezing, and will pull hard. The tendency of broad tires to pick up dirt is a strong argument against the use of steel wheels. A neighbor purchased one of the low down steel wagons, and putting on a load of manure, drove to the field; the wagon felloes settled below the sur face, and four horses could not start it. With broad tires the wagon bodies must be set high, which will require more lifting to load it, for it must be made long and narrow. In my opin-
