vICToRIAs LIMITED POWERS.
Things the English Queen Can DO
and Not DO
From the Home Journal.


From the Home Journal
Considerable as are the powers Of Queen
Victoria, they are not unlimited. There
are some very curious restrictions on the
royal prerogative. The Queen cannot, for
instance, communicate with her subjects
as can the most mental Of her servants;
nor can she receive presents from her
people save through officers of state or
friends personally known to her majesty.
The queen could sell or give away the
royal navy, or declare war with Russia,
but she could not spend a single farthing
of public money without the consent of
Parliament. The Queen has no power over
taxation, and could not create any new
office with fees attached to it. Neither
could she annex new fees to old offices.
She could not increase the wages Of one
of her footmen, unless she did IL out Of
her private funds, or without exceeding
the allowance made to her by Parliament.
A curious curtailment of the royal pre-
rogative IS effected by an act of Parla-
ment passed in the reign of George Ill.
This act deals with Sabbath breaking,
and In 1t IL Is distinctly stated that the
monarch cannot pardon offenders who
have been convicted Of a certain form OF
Sabbath breaking. Yet her majesty could
pardon 80 per cent. of all the prisoners in
the land.
Though no act Of Parliament Is complete

HOW THEY LOVE THEM.
Gov. Leedy's ADMINISTRATORS Wceps Ovso
the Coal Miners' Condi-
tlOO.

Some time ago the Arkansas City
Traveller published an interview with
j. Lea Simpson, of Leavenworth
county. at that time q member of the
populist state committee and an officer
at the state penitentiary. In the in
terview Mr.. Simpson predicted that
Leedy could not be elected because OF
the failure of his administration and
in answer to the question from the
Traveller reporter as to how he har.
monized his party's action in regard to
penitentiary coal with the Abilene
platform, Mr.. Simpson, said: II can't
harmonize the two inconsistencies,
and don't try to. certainly cam
not approve of the unprecedented out
put of coal at the penitentiary-an
output made possible by reason Of
having coal stored in the mine. that
was mined months before"
'Mr. Simpson," asked the reporter,
do you mean to say that the peniten-
tiary officials, Warden Lands and
Deputy Gable. representatives of Gov.
Leedy, mined coal with convicts,
stored it away in the mines with the
view of having it handy to throw
upon the market in the event of .
strike by free labor?"
MY word is not usually questioned
know whereof / speak. I was the
mine officer at the pcnitentiary about
a year ago in charge of . gang of con-
victs that started the storing Of lump
coal in the mine, and it was thrown
upon the open market during The
strike" /.
Do you know how much coal was in
store when the officers began to rush
it to market?
II do not, but we were storing coal
for weeks before l left the prison
there was a large quantity of it and 10
was the very best lump coal"

SCIENTIFIC CULTIVATION.
To Achieve Best Results tho Farmer Must
Keep Ioyed In the Most Ad-
vanc ed ideas.

Twenty years ago i worked for
practical old farmer who always had
a good reason for everything nc did.
When began blowing he said; IL
want to give you little instruction in
corn cultivating, and l want you 10
remember every word Of it, for you
know am getting along in years, and
if anything should happen to me you
will have the making OF this crop.
"This corn must be cultivated four
times. The first and second times you
must send the shovels of your cultiva-
tor well down. Go slow andcultivate
five to six inches deep. This will kill
the weeds and loosen up the soil, let
ting in air and sun-heat. and giving
the millions OF rootlets a chance to run
through every inch of the soil and get
the strength they need. The second
and third times you go over it drive
right along and set the shovels OF tho
cultivator to run not over three inches
deep At this time the soil will be
filled with the corn roots, and You
must be very careful not to cut or
break them. Do you understandP'
informed him that did, and tho
35-acre corn field was cultivated exact.
| ly as he had instructed me. The land
was good. black prairie, and the Jicld
of the entire field was an average of
| 73M bushels of first-class corn per acre.
That was 20 years ago, and it tau /
/ I stnI m
that has enabled me to grow some corn
as good us any that is found in my
neighborhood.
Last season the Illinois agricultural
experiment station made series of
exhaustive experiments IN corn culti-
vation, which proved that my old em-
ployers practice was correct in every
particular. The lesson, coming as II
does from an authoritative source,
will have more far-reaching effect
on the methods of cultivating
corn than the practice of one
or two farmers who are comparatively
unknown. Farmers will heed the in
structions of scientific experimenters
when they would not for moment
listen to one Of their own number who
had experimental merely for his own
benefit.
1t was formerly the practice in this
locality to ridge the corn rows up nj
least four inches high, and it was the
firm belief OF many that n fair cror
could be grown by no other method
But a man came in from the northern
part of the state with an outfit of shal
low running cultivators and smashed
the old ideas to atoms by growing
series OF crops averaging II, SO and Is
} bushels per acre, while the average II
: the neighborhood, grown on the ole
plan, was only about 80 bushels pc
: acre during the same years. FIRED

in the soil for the use OF the plants;
hence, aside from destroying weeds and
admitting atmospheric action, we stir
the soil to prevent evaporation of the
moisture arising from that stored be-
low.
So altogether we find that the process
of stirring the soil is very important,
doubtless far more so than the ma iori-
ty of cultiyators of the soil themselves
are aware.
WORKING OUT PLANT FOOD,
For this reason we are led TO add
few words on one of the most impor-
tant reasons for stirring the soil; this
is, to continue the elaboration of the
plant food in the soil, A growing crop
takes up rapidly the supply of availa'
BILE plant food in the soil, and, to Sc
cure good crop, it is important that
| it be replenished as fast as consumed.
The soil contains great deal of food
material in the shape of vegetable mat
ter and fragments of minerals, but it
is not available. Air and moisture are
the active agents in fitting this ma
terial for the growth of the plants; and
hence stirring the soil stimulates the
action of these agents, And not only
this, but the reshly-stirred soil nb'
serbs much valuable material from the
atmosphere, thus adding to its store
