per cent. of them never reach the eye
of either the chief executive nor his
private secretary. They are sorted by
the clerks under the direction Of Pri-

The largest proportion of the letters
ask for financial assistance. The next

For the Farmer.

If good celery is desired water the
plants with soapsuds and keep the
ground clean of grass and weeds. The
watering of a large crop with soapSuds
is impracticable. but where one has
small planting in garden and will give
five or ten minutes work to the plants
twice or three times week the results
will he very gratifying. as something
better than the average may be secured.
Soapsuds make IA special fertilizer for
celery.
If farmers will make it rule To send
only the best To market they will get
more money for one half their crops
when prices are low than for the whole
When the markets are well supplied
only the best will sell. Not only should
the articles be selected, but they should
be uniform-of the same quality at tn.
bottom of basket as at the top. InsteaSs
of reducing the prices of potatoes by
sending the very small ones To market
keep those that arr unstable and feed
them ON the farm and they will then
be more valuable.
The amount of water required for a
crop is enormous Ii is said that Il crop
of corn requires III inches of water
during the growing season, large
portion of which comes from below,
having been stored in the soil during
the winter and spring. Every pound of
dry matter i'll wheat requires 300 pounds
of water for its production. Corn re-
quires $50 pounds of water for every
pound of dry matter and oats 500 pounds.
But for the large amount of water
stored i'll the soil and made available
for plants during the growing season
there would be deficiency in the supply
if rains were the only source of obtain
ing moisture.
The local markets should receive more
attention. Produce is shipped to large
cities at a cost of transportation and
charges for selling by the commission
merchant, and sometimes only small
profit TO the producer, while better
prices can often be obtained nearer
home. This season it was noticed that
when strawberries were selling i'll New
York and Philadelphia AZ four cents per
box consumers in the towns nearest to
the strawberry beds We're paying eight
and ten cents. In one town store not
hundred yards from the depot from
which strawberries were being shipped
retailed the berries at ten cents. while
the same grower from whom they
were obtained received only three cents
from the commission merchant

Every farmer should have a hive of
bees on his farm, even if he attaches

arr excellent foragers and carry pollen

Browns point, Puget Sound, near

twelve passengers and the Kingston's
crew of seventy were saved through
the prompt action of officers of the
Glenogle and Kingston and two ships
lying in the harbor, which lowered
boats and assisted the people on the
Kingston to reach the Gienogle. The
Kingston is total loss and the Glen
ogle is damaged. The hull OF the
