Forward SteDa.

While the advance in labor-saving
implements and machinery has been
marvellous, yet much greater progress
has been made in the growing Of crops.
Fifty years ago but few farmers knew
Of any fertilizer (other than barnyard
manure) outside Of bone meal, the
bones being pounded and sold at cost
of about $50 per ton. Then came Peru
Wan guano, which was largely used
alone, but which would have given
much better results had farmers then
understood that potash and phosphoric
acid were necessary adjuncts to the
guano, as the gQano would enable the
farmers to secure good crops for year
or two, but exhausted the soil of potash
and phosphates, which fact was not
fully understood for many years. With
the discovery that the refuse from gas
works contained valuable heterogeneous
fertilizer, and that there were mines Of
potash in Germany, a great advantage
resulted to farmers, followed by cheap
er phosphates from the rivers and rocks
of South Carolina Florida and Tennes-
see. Fertilizers became cheaper, farm
ers studied their composition, expert
ment stations grew into favor and ag'
riculture rose to be a science.

How BICYCLES XIII Sparrows.

Or almost every cycle path in Min
neapolis may be found the dead bodies
Of sparrows. To the greater number
of those who travel over the paths it
has always been a mystery why the
sparrows should be found on the path
instead of on the road. IL they had
been injured there We're plenty of 9TH
er places for the disposition of their
bodies. but for one found elsewhere
there were always four or i've on the
cycle paths. The secret of it is this,
vouched for by many cyclists: The
sparrows in flying close to the sraund
have occasion many times to dodge a
bicycle As the wheel revolves rap
idly they do not see the spokes and
make a dash to get through. The re-
suit is, of course, fatal in almost ev-
cry instance, and the body of the bird
is left lying on the cycle path.-Min-
neapolis Tribune.

knows the SORROWS of an attempt to

t.ommon-sense Bee-Keepine.

While working with bees the most
essential thing to do Is to prevent
waste. Waste in some form makes the
difference between poverty and COM
fort. Are any of your hives, boards,
feeders or others implements Of the
apiary unnecessarily exposed to the
weather? What becomes of your brok-
en- combs and pieces of wax? Do you
allow the moths to destroy your empty
combs? If SO, get your hand on the
stop that controls waste, and bear on;
get on it with both feet if necessary;
1t will improve your circumstances.
Don't waste time waiting for some
promising invention that is to work
wonders. Don't get discouraged; be
neither elated nor depressed; don't give
away your bees nor destroy them;
crowd them for all they are worth, but
go slow on increase. Add as few to the
number Of your colonies as possible;
feel your way until you know your
ground and stick close to your bust
ness. In beekeeping the work must be
done at the right time; to do otherwise
Is to give success away.

#nver the hills, where the sun went
down
In dying glory of red and gold,
Was a swath of crimson, where death
had mown
/, His grist in the chapparalstif and
cold
Grand physiques for the graves
dank mould
All, that the grave should such
enfold!
The reaper hath reaped what the
sword hath sown,
And will hold till the scroll of time
be rolled!
Over the hills that they stormed that
day,
Man and man like solid wall,
Knowing no thought but the one,
"oDey,"
Following orders, that is all
While the gaps close up as the
heroes fall
And the black smoke curls like a
funeral pail
Over the dead that shall live for aye,
Though they sleep till the reveille's
waking call.
Dotting the hills where the fight was
won,
Poor rude mounds where the dead
men sleep;
Hot is the glare of the tropic sun,
But cold they lie in their slumber
deep,
Knowing not of the ones who weep,
Needless of fame that their names
shall reap,
Resting awhile after work is done,
Till the sunbeams CLINT where the
shadows creep.

The small, soft-bodied, green or

in colonies on the leaves Of orchard
trees, commonly called the "aphis,' or

and need no further description. The

emulsion, to be effective, must be ap-
piled as a strong underspray.-Utah

most cases the weeds, if left undisturb-

made by previous working of the sur,

be gathered from the subsoil, the de-
struction Of weeds will do but little
good. The weeds have taken all the
moisture from the subsoil, and If the
field has been plowed shallow in spring,
that is all the moisture that there is.

Manure for Peach Trees.

One Of the difficulties in successful
peach growing is to get good land to
grow them on. The success of peaches
on poor, sandy soil when the country
was new, and when even this had plen
ty Of potash, has led to the belief that
sandy soil is always best. 1t re-
quires not only heavy potash ma
nuring to make long-cultivated sandy
soil fit to grow peaches, but also the
building up of humus in the soil so that
1t can be filed with carbolic acid gas
and make the potash effective.

Rest JJse for Clover Sod.

Very few farmers now plow under
clover sod to SOW for wheat. It is not
merely because the sod thus plowed
under cannot be put into condition for
q good seed bed for wheat. The land
pays much better to pillow next spring,
putting on all the coarse manure that
can be spared for crop Of corn or
potatoes, and then following the hoed
crop with winter wheat or spring grain,
and thus getting the land back into
clover seeding again with the least pos
sible delay.

RIOS ASKED Too MUCH,
Wanted Another Investigation of the
Blowing up OF the Name,

Paris, December l7'-Senor Nom
tero Rios, in an interview said that
what most chagrined the Spaniards
was the refusal of the United States
commissioners to appoint a com
mission to investigate the Maine
disaster. The Spanish commission
ers, he said, proposed that the
United States appoint an Ameri-
can, an Englishman, and a French
man and the Spaniards appoint a
Spaniard, an Englishman and a
Frenchu.an, the six to appoint a
German. The seven commissioners,
the Spanish commissioners suggest
ed, should investigate the loss OF
the Maine that Spanish honor
might be yindlcated. Should they
bring in a verdict that the govern
ment of Spain was not responsible
for the disaster the president OF
the United States should send a
message to cong; ess stating that
Spain had been wrongtullY accused.
If they decide that Spain was re-
sponslble then 4 Spanish war vessel
should sail to an American port,
salute the American flag and pay
the damages. The refusal of this
proposition, Senor Rios said, was
what caused the Spaniards to feel
downcast.
"Spain, said Rios, "has ceased
to be great Spain, but we shall
abide by our traditions of honor.
Perhaps by the time our Young
king, who has been brought up in
the school of adversely under the
eye of noble woman, attains his
majority we will see days of peace
and prosperity return.
