Care of Nursery Stock.

Whenever a farmer goes in for the
growing of nursery stock he need have
no lack of winter work. All the seed
lings have either to be grated or their
roots in many cases are made into
stocks, and scion inserted in each.
These roots and stocks with the scions
are put in cellars, where they are COW
cred with moist, not wet, earth, and
when the scion is inserted the future
tree is set up in unfrozen soil again, COW
cring it even to the top bud of the scion.
1t is long, wearisome job for one man,
or for two or three, to root graft young
trees enough to set an acre in nursery.
It also requires much care in handling,
to see that the scion is not loosened be-
fore it is made fast by growth in the
ground Cultivator.

Eirht Hours a Days Work.

The use of machinery on the farm il
very nearly reducing the hours of Ia
Dor to eight hours a day. Very few
ask hired help to work over ten hours
now, and when at work with horses
and machinery eight hours of labor is
as much as ought to be expected OF
the team, and the teamster expects to
do but little more excepting to give
the team the care it should have, and
to keep the machine in order. Even
this last is sometimes, delegated to
some other person, if there are knives
to sharpen, as on the. moving ma
chine and reaper, for not every good
teamster is handy at the grindstone
and some have but little mechanical
ingenuity, so that though they may
learn to run a machine while it is in
good order, they cannot put it in or.

Rotation of Garden Crops.

It is sometimes claimed that a garden
becomes too rich and that it produces
En- enormous growth of vine, with but
little seeds or fruit. The difficulty is
that the garden contains an excess of
some kind of plant food. Rotate the
crops or make garden in a new loca-
tion, growing corn, potatoes and cab
bage successiyely on the old location,
when it may be used as a garden plat
again. It is doubtful, however, if a gar

quently and more extensively than
ever before. Verdens Gang makes the
following comment on this phenome-
non: "The comradelike gatherings be-
tween Swedish and Norwegian officers
which have been cherished of late,
must be greeted with unmingled
delight. They have nothing to do with
the politics of the day. They have
this to do with politics, at the most:
They emphasize the fact that Norway
and Sweden must stand or fall togeth-
er IN the face of danger from COM
mon enemy, these gatherings tend to
develope mutual confidence, which is
very important in the hour of danger.
What makes these gatherings particu-
larly enjoyable at this time is the gen.
eral conviction that both countries
now are far better prepared against a
foreign foe than they have ever been
since the establishment of the union.
Both nations realize more wildly than
ever that they can defend themselves
effectively and profitably even against
a superior foe. Events all around us
prove this. The small nations are not
In such a hopeless predicament as
they have been supposed to be. They
can muster an incredible power of re-
sistance when they are imbued with
the right love for liberty and their ma

make proper use of the peculiar ad-
vantages of their country Each of the
two countries has greater self-confi-
dence than before. Each of them feels
that it is able to do something, that
1t is something. And last but not
least, it must be mentioned that we
have seen unmistakable tokens of the
existence of the old valor of our race.
Large numbers of Scandinavians have
fought as volunteers in different parts
of the world. They distinguished
themselves in Cuba. and on this very
day they are fighting in South Africa,
where their courage and contempt of
death have won for them the admira-
ton of the world. The old Norrona
stock is still in possession of it's power
and intrepidity. Side by side the
Mortimer have fought for the liberty
of the small natives. BY their blood
they have sanctified the brotherhood
of the North and vindicated the fame
of their race. This is what we wish to

DENMARK.

Miss Werick. a prominent society
lady, has entered a French nunnery.
Her relatives were strongly opposed
to this step, but she resolutely gave
up all the common enjoyments of the
world. During the initiation cere-
monies she wore a snow white silk
dress. Her hair had been cut, and a
crown of thorns adorned her head.
The dress was put aside for safe keep
ing, and will not be worn again until
she is buried. The rules of her nun
merry are quite severe. Her VOW is
binding for seven years, after which
period she may return to the world
if she desires to do so. Her time is
to be devoted to singing and praying
and to the education of poor children
in the neighborhood of the nunnery.
She is permitted to write to her rela-
tives once a month, but all her letters
must be read by her superiors.

said to have been wrecked in the

SWEDEN.

Are the Russian ''saw filers'' in
Sweden spies or bona fde saw flers?
That is the question still occupying
many minds in Sweden. The Swedish
government has declared in sort
of off-hand manner that the Russian
government has nothing to do with
the suspected parties, who are said to
be plain people eking out living by
means of their trade. This official
statement, however, has not stopped
the discussion of the matter. It is
limited that the government has made
but perfunctory Investigation before
committing itself, and that the "saw
filers' are a mixed crowd, some of
them being bona fde followers of the
trade, who serve to cover up the spies.
The political pessimists offer differ
ent explanation. About a year ago
the government wanted large appro-
priations for the defenses; but it was
uphill work in the riksdag. Just in
the nick of time it was flashed over
the telegraph wires that Norway had
spent millions of dollars in secretly
strengthening her Notifications.
There was nothing in the news. But
for the moment the Swedes were
somewhat alarmed, and in the midst
of the excitement the riksdag wanted
even more than the government had
asked for. The government again
needs large amounts of money for mil
itary purposes, and the Russian saw
flers come very handy. Those who
reason along these lines also recall
the fact that when Bismarck wanted
money for the defense there would be
strange rumors of spies in some part
of the country. Not even the lat
est unpleasantness between England
and Germany is left unmentioned.
The kaiser wants immense appropri-
ations for the navy. The German peo-
pie are heavily taxed already, and
somewhat disinclined to assume still
heavier burdens. But the kaiser
makes trip to England. Shortly af-
forwards several German ships are
captured by the British on the charge
of carrying contrabands of war. The
Germans get hopping mad, and it
looks as if the kaiser will have the
big navy of which he is dreaming. And
all this material is used to throw light
on the stories about the Russian saw
flers in Sweden.
