Science of Seed Sowing.

1t should not be forgotten in sowing
vegetable seeds, and, for the matter Of
that, all seeds, that they must have air,
moisture and darkness in order to
sprout properly. If sown deeper than
they desire they rot; IL too shallow,
the light is too intense or they do not
get moisture enough. As rule they
should be as near the surface as poo
sible, with the rather dry earth packed
around them a. firmly as possible. The
surface earth should be rather dry or
it will not powder well-and this 10
important in connection with air.
There is no air In a soil pressed when
wet-but the more dry earth is pressed
and pounded the finer and more porous
1t becomes. There Is great art in get
ting seed 10 grow properly-and yet
the art Is very simple when the prin-
ciples are understood. - Meehan's

Cement Floors for Dairies.

In the creamery and in the dairy
the old wooden floor should give way
to the cement floor of the best quail
ity. The movement in this direction
is already on and the cement floor
has become very general. Especially
in the creameres is this the case.
The wooden floor absorbed moisture
and odors and gave out the latter

has been found impossible to keep
clean. 1t is so constantly wet that
it has no chance to be purified by the
air. The same is largely true of the
floor in the private dairy. In the
largest milk selling establishments in
Chicago the cement floor is consid-
cred an essential, as large quantity
of water is daily used in flooding the
floors to insure cleanliness. In the
long run the cement floor is cheapest,
for it will outlivs several wood floors

OF the territory through which the
roads pass probably greater than could
have beer secured by any other expend-

The Spaniards did not seem to regard
road az necessary or even desirable
unless It would serve a military pur-
pose. The railway from Manila to Dag
upan gave them ample means of trans
porting troops, ammunition and stores
between those places, and beyond Dag
upan they built a fine. broad macadam-
lied boulevard as far as Vigan. There
is similar highway across the island
near its southern extremity. General
ly speaking, however, Luzon has no
roads, except these two, that can be
Travelled by vehicle in the rainy sea-

onstitute u reigning family, though
their prncipality is small.
Queen Wilhelmina celebrated the
twentieth anniversary of her birth
day on August 81, and it was then
expected that she would announce
her choice at the banquet given in her
honor at Amsterdam. She only prom
ised that she would do so before
Christmas.
Not since Queen Victoria assembled
England's throne, 62 years ago, have
so many princes sued for one lady's
hand.
1t is absolutely imperative that the
queen should marry without delay.
The security of Holland, the perma-
nence Of the dynasty and the contin-
uance of the country in quiet, mon
archical ways depend upon this event.
She Is the last representative in Hol-
land OF the ancient and illustrious
house Of Orange, which is forever en-
deared to the Dutch people by the
services OF William the Silent. All
her near relatives are descended on
the paternal side from some German
house and there is nothing the Dutch
fear more than absorption into the
German empire.
The young queen early showed
symptoms Of independence in the
matter OF choosing husband. She
rejected her cousin, Prince Bernard
of Saxe-Weimar, because he was so
ugly. Nevertheless, 1t was confidently
expected that she would finally marry
man indicated to her for reasons of
state.
1t was reported some time ago that
she would certainly accept the suit
of the German crown prince. 1t is
an open secret in court circles that
she was deeply in love with Frederick
William, n fact which was substan-
tiated during her recent visit to Ber-
lin, where they were always together.
When Kaiser Wilhelm stopped at
Schweringen after his visit to Queen
Victoria it wus rumored that q match
had been arranged. I1 is believed
that the queen declined on account of
the deep-rooted antipathy of her sub
jects to the Germans and their fear
of being absorbed in the German en-
pire.

town afforded.
