A Yankee and His Tiny Garden

One Of The most interested men
connected with the agricultural
press IS our friend, A. w.
Cheever, who does the "Familiar
Talks" for the New England
Farmer. IN d recent issue of
that paper, Mr.. Cheever tells
about his operations on his little
acre'and q half farm, located at
Dndham, Mass. Our folks with
more acres will be Interested in
his story.
A large part Of the one and q
half acres is used as lawn and
walks, and the parts IN crops are
irregular in shape. The poultry
yard contains about eighteen
square rods which is cultivated
only for the fruit trees-five ap-
pies, one pea ch and eight plums.
One of the apple trees Is mostly
covered by IL Concord grapevine
which produces double the fruit
of tie tree that supports it Ten
peach trees and thir3y-two pears
~ bearing, besides several peach
trees too young to fruit, are
scattered over two-thirdS of the
area under cultivation. But lit
tie over thirty rods are free from
the shade of fruit or ornamental
trees. The buildings cover a
strip 1l5 feet long and part Of the
way over forty feet wide. Among
the fruit trees are planted cur
rant, gooseberry, raspberry,
blackberry and ounce bushes,
also quite an area in Strawberries.
Over dozen grapevines in bear
ing climb over trellises or up the
sides of buildings.
The entire area was worked by
hand implements, and but little
help was hired.
In early spring we had an
abundance of lettuce and radishes
from the hotbod, also tomato
plants for setting and tor sale.
Three plants of rhubarb gave
more than supply. The aspara-
gus was attacked by the new
disease last year, which threat
ened to destroy the business of
growing it, but it was no worse
this year, and we had full sup
ply and a promise of good yield
next year. Cultivated dande-
lions III an out-ol-way corner
yielded hountifully.
The strawberry bed was small
or than usual, but there were
enough for home use and for can-
ming. besides rot Il few to GIVE
away. Nearly ~ bushel was
sold. OF raSpoerries and black
berries ther" WAS II small surplus.
\ few cucumber plants started III
Il cold frame gave an abundance
through the season. 4 row OF
parSnips two RODS long, and three
paintings OF turnip blood beets
give supply that will last
through the winter with an &C.
casional treat Of beet-root for the
laying hens, which is always ap.

scourge OF the world Offensive, painful,
facilitating, stubborn and well nigh

Outward applications DO not cure, they
only drive the difficulty to new quarters.
Emollieats may paliiate, they cannot
abolish the evil. There is but one sure
way out, and that is to eliminate the
faint from tie blood.
There is one remedy that can effect this,
and it is the only one that, 50 far as we
know, has almost invariably succeeded
even where the system has been poisoned
by long years Of taint, end the ravages to
be repaired are tremendous. That remedy
is Hoods Sarsaparilta. Read this:
"My daughter was afflicted with i'm
pure blood. There were running sores
all over her body ard they caused her
much suffering. We tried medicines that
were recommended as blood purifiers,
bat could not see that they did any good.
& friend told me about Hoods Sarsapa-
rilia and began giving the girl this med
icinc. Tho result was that she was per-
fcctiy cured eftcr taking q few bottles.
She has had TO symptoms OF sc-ofula

ARMY PROMOTIONS,
Chnnges Caused by the Death or I'm,
Glen.

The death of Col. Geo z. Glenn resulted
III the promotion Of Lieut. Col Alfred E,
Bates to be colonel and assistant paymastcr
general, and of Maj Culver Sniffen to ba
lieutenant colonel and deputy payma ster
general Col. Bates is now the military at
tache of the United States embassy at
London
He will be recalled home at once and as
signed to duty in this city His successor
at London has not yet been selected. Lieut..
Col. Sniffen was one of President Grants
private secretaries. He is now on duty at
the war Department Paymaster General
carey retires next July, and it is probable
that Col. Bates will be promoted to the
vacancy.
The President today appointed Webster
with the rank of major. The vacancy was
caused by promotions resulting from the
death of Col. Glenn. Major Vinson is
half brother of Capt. Allyn Capron of the
lst Artillery, who died of disease contract
ed In Cuba. and an uncle of Capt. ALVIN
Capron. jr.. of the Rough Riders who wa G
Killed IN the charge of La Guaslmas Cuba.
Maj. Vinson is the sole support of the
widows of the Caprons. When his case
was presented to the President last fall he
said he would make the appointment when
opportunity offered, as it is a part of his
policy to make provision wherever possible
lives in the war.
Maj. Nfnson is about thirty-seven wears
old. and has for many years been con-
nected with the War Department in a cler-
ioal capacity. He is now living near Fort

DIR, SOLF'S ARRIVAL.
New President of the Municipality of |
Samoa.


DR.. Wilhelm Solf, the newly appointed
president of the municipality of Samoa, ar
rived here today He came at the request
of the German ambassador, DR.. Won HoIle-
ben, to talk over Samoan affairs and TO be
presented to Secretary Hay. He is quite a
young man, thirty-five years of age, and as
he has been stationed in South Africa for
some time, he has no direct knowledge of
Samoa.
His new post gives him the opportunity
however. of reconciing some of the differ
ences which arose among the officials when
DR.. Raffel was president of the municipal
ity.
Much of the trouble has been attributed
to DIR. Raffel, and his successor, DR.. Solf,
is relied on to exercise greater tact in
avoiding trouble. Under the treaty of Ber-
lin his duties do not extend beyond the
municipal district of Apia and the harbor
although as the chief officer of the capital
city he eXerts considerable indirect infiu-
ence on the general political conditions of
the whole island group.
DR.. Solf was appointed before the high
commission was proposed, SO that its estab-
nshment with supreme power may consid-
erabiy curtail his authority as we'll as that
OF the consuis, chief Justice and all others.
In 1888 DIR. Solf went to Calcutta to act
as interpreter for the German embassy
there, and in 1890 returned to Germany and
took up the study of law. He applied him
SELF specially to international law and
taking civil service examinations succeeded
in obtaining place In the consular service
He was sent to the German colony in east
Africa, which post has been the most i'm
Portant he has hitherto filled. 1t is thought
that he will sail from San Francisco on
April II.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS
Special Dispatch 10 The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch 20 The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. April 3.-opening prices
were generally irregular this morning and
realizing took the place OF a predicted de-
mand In certain Of the specialties. The un-
uertone was strong. however. and prices
held well, although no particular Improve
ment was recorded in the standard shares.
Missouri Pacific was bought i'm round
amounts as the result OF rather couspicu-
Gus prelimlnaries on the part Of an interest
known to favor higher prices. The buying
Of these shares resulted In advancing the
price about 2Il per cent, and forced a SYM
pathetic movement in other Gould proper
ties.
The proposed closer relationship with
Kansas and Texas brought the latter
shares TO the front at advancing prices.
Inc neglect OF Western Union. which has
been noticeable for months gave way to-
DAY to sudden spasmodic advance. hut
failed to inspire enthusiasm. traders put
ing out moderate lines of short stock at
the advance.
Atchison issues were taken up FOR a time
ana round amounts were frequent al ad-
Vancing prices. but the public demand was
not equal to sustaining the new level In
similar manner Union Pacific and. others Of
the better known issues were given over
20 alternating movements OF buying and
proit-taking. The effort to make high
prices today in the hope Of inspiring new
days was not wholly satisfactory.
The Federal Steel issues were sensihly
allowed to test their strength without
further manipulation. The Common stock
ruled under Saturdays prices during -
greater part of the day, and was only sup
ported to the extent of a few thousand
shares around the low level International
Paper, about which much favorable COM
ment has been made Of late. was advanced
10 per cent under a relatively small out
side demand.
A reaction of per cent was recorded
during the first hour, but the price held
very well at the middle distance. The
overcoming OF certain hostile criticisms on
the part of consumers has given the com
pany clear field and should result in in
creasing confidence on the part of shaus-
holders.
The surface railway and traction stocks
attracted the usual volume of business. hut
fluctuations We're less radical than for
merly.
The new stock issue and dividends on
Brooklyn Rapid Transit was variously con-
strued, but inside interests evidently con-
slider pending Developments being favor
able. However this may be. there was
some liquidation inspired by the belief that
the mysterious sources of good news must
be approaching the exhaustion point.
An active and higher money market Is
predicted during the week. but the hest in
formation is opposed to the belief In any
permanent monetary concern. Conservative
commission houses admit the situation and
counsel purchases Of only such issues as
are acceptable as collaierals

What is Likely to prove to be an import
ant transaction in E street property will.
it is understood. be closed in the near
future. Mr.. FIjW'. Andrews has decided to
buy the property known as 1909 F street
from the owner, Mt. William Gait. Mr.
Andrews now owns the adjoining property
on the west 1@l1 and 1913 F street. The
latter has ffontagh of 30 feet 4 inches.
while the frontage aof 1909 is 26 feet. so
that this purchase will give Mr. Andrews
a total frontage of over SO feet 1t is stated
to be his intention awhen he gets possess
sion of the neM pieee of property to inn
prove his entire holdings there by the erec-
tion of an office building. The new struc-
ture will adjoin on the east the Sun build
ing. and will be some ten stories in height.
The Let is of irregular depth, the longest
line being 1i3 feet. One portion of the rear
line forms an l. fronting on an alley thirty
feet wide. The entire property, with the
exception of about half of the Gait lot. ex-
tends back to this wide alley
1t is understood the price paid was about
S60.000, and as the ground contains some
2 100 square feet the price per SQUARE foot
Is about S2s. For the adjoining property
which Mr.. Andrews bought about a yea
ago. he paid s59, ,500 but as the lot contains
2.9I9 square feet the price per foot was
about SO In the transaction Mr. Andrews
was represented by Wescott and story.
