horticulture in Europe.

Horticulture in Europe is much more
intensive than with us, says Prof. N.
c. Hansen in Iowa State Register.
Land is very valuable and labor cheap:
with us the conditions are reversed.
Hence this materially changes meth
DDS, and labor saving machinery is
the means by which we solve the prob
lem. Fruit trees in European nurser-
les are planted close together both
ways so that cultivation by horse pow
er is impossible. Tree diggers are un-
known. Everything, except blowing
is done by hand. On some plots even
the horse is banished and the ground
Is prepared with spade. Such meth
DDS of cultivation would of course be
Improbable on our cheaper lands in
America. However, there is a great
deal of value to be learned in Europe
in the horticultural lines. Extreme
competition has weeded out inferior
methods and appliances. and necessi-
tates a wide awake spirit everywhere.
Centuries of accumulated experience
under the same conditions have set
tied host of their horticultural prob
lens, and the beginner finds the path
well marked and mapped out by his
predecessors. Here on our fertile
prairies of the northwest the condi-
tions of the soil and climate are new
to us, and more problems confront us
in all lines. But these very problems
make horticulture fascinating study.

~sqsirsments That WAL Be Ecssd
Indispensable.
Inc universal article OF diet In that
country, depended upon and indispens-
able, is bread or biscuit. And to make
the bread and biscuit. either In the
camp or upon the trail yeast cannot be
usea-it must be baking powder; and
Inc powder manufactured by the pro-
eesses OF the Royal Baking Powder
company, miners and prospectors have
learned, Is the only one which will
stand In that peculiar climate of cold
anu dampness and raise the bread and
biscuit satisfactorily.
fhese facts are very important for
every one proposing to 60 to Alaska

VINO have gone through similar expert
ence. Mr.. McQuesten, who is called
the father OF Alaska" after an expert
ence OF years upon the trail, in the
camp. and in the use OF every kind of
supply, says: I'VE find in Alaska that
the importance OF proper kind Of
baking powder cannot be overesti-
mated. A miner with a can OF bad
baking powder is almost helpless in
Alaska. We have tried all sorts, and
have been Obliged 10 settle down to use
nothing but the Royal. II is stronger
and carries further at first, but above
all things. II Is the only powder that

OF the arctic region"
II is for the same reasons that the
United States government in its RELIEF
expeditions. and Peary, the famous
arctic traveller, have carried the Royal
Baking Powder exclusively.
The Royal Baking Powder will not
cake nor lose its strength either on
board ship or in damp climates. and is
the most highly concentrated and eff
Client OF leavening agents. Hence It is
indispensable TO every Alaskan outfit.
II can be had OF any OF the trading
companies in Alaska. but should the
miner procure his supplies before leav-
ing. he should resist every attempt Of

OF the other brands of baking pow
der. for they will spoil and prove the

Close application is one of the things
necessary for success in the poultry
yard. Indeed, in this it is not much
different from any other kind of bust
ness Even the great fortunes had
their beginnings with men that gave
close application to small things and
watched every detail. Caesar was said
to know every soldier of his legions.
and spent much of his time in a study
of the details of the work he had to do.
Then can we expect any less in the
poultry business? The Almighty in
His wisdom has placed around us all
kinds of obstacles that we might not
succeed in anything except at the price
of vigilance and labor. Every kind OF
life, whether plant or animal, has its
deadly enemies. The farmer that sows
his seed in the ground knows that he
must fight weeds, insects and often
birds. The poultryman knows or
should know that he must fight lice,
disease germs, bad systems of feeding,
prowling animals, hawks and even the
chicken thief. The price of success is
not low and never falls. But when
success comes it is worth all that has
been paid for it.

ITO be out of fashion is to be out OF
the world is saying which it is diff
cult to overcome, to the satisfaction Of
the girl who wishes to preserve an up

our girls for having a desire to be apace

ever, we regret that the ladies of the
present time are obliged to festoon their
heads with such an abundance of dec

his attempts at distinguishing the
handiwork of nature among the pro-
fusion of millinery. 1t seems to us that
this artificial array is a piece of use
less extravaganza; and we would ask
the fair sex to consider how impossible
it is for them to add anything that can
be ornamental to what is already the
masterpiece of nature. The head has
the most beautiful appearance, as wei
as the highest station in a human fig
ure. Nature has laid out all her art ir
identifying the face; she has touched
it with vermillion, planted in it
double row of ivory, made it the seat
of smiles and bushes, lighted it up and
enlivened it with the brightness of the
eyes, given it airs and graces that can
not be described, and surrounded ii
with such a flowing shade of hair
as sets all it's beauties in the most
agreeable light. In short, she seems
to have designed the head as the cupo-
la to the most glorious of her works;

of supernumerary ornaments, we de-
stroy the symmetry o. the human fig
