A Curious Storyl

A curious story is going the rounds
at Cape Town. It is said that owing
to some unpleasantness, the cause of
which is secret, the Russian and
Dutch attaches were ordered to leave
Cape Town Castle, the British military
headquarters, few nights ago. Col.
Gourko, the Russian, declined to leave
unless force were used, but the queen
OF Hollands representative was less
fiery, and was on the point of leaving
when secretary came rushing in from
Sir A. Miner, with gracious apology
and an assurance that the whole affair
was mistake. Mutual handshakes.
SO the story goes, ended an incident
which might have assumed an inter.
national character. 80

hen that is laying. Should a hen be
weighed and then weighed again after
having laid an egg each day for about a
month She Will be found to have fallen
off a pound or more IN weight. This is
one reason why a rest should be given her
to bring her back to her original weight.
and this rest should be not less than two
weeks. A hen that lays an egg every
day must assimilate enough food to keep
up the waste of the body and enough
more to form the substances, Including
the shell, represented by the egg.
A friend of the writer has studied this
question and has ascertained that to as
simulate enough food to do this will re-
Quire an equivalent of twelve ounces Of
corn or wheat per day and there are very
few focks that consume that much. In
a talk with him, he says: Just think Of
a flock Of thirty hens (the number of
the writer happens TO have at this time)
consuming twenty-five pounds of grain
per day! Yet this is what they would
have to do to lay thirty eggs a day. Well.
1 don't get thirty eggs per day, nor 40

of grain per day, either; but I have sew

how they are able to do 1t. And, what

RURAL MAIL DELIVERY.

Farmers who desire to secure rural fre4
delivery Of mail will be interested in the
following directions for securing 1t, as
published by the postoff1ce department:
Present a petition addressed to the first
assistant postmaster general and signed
by all those who desire the service. The
petition should only be signed b. head:
of families. and should state the number
in each family. 1t should set forth tie
nature of the country, whether densely
or sparsely populated, the character of
the roads, and should be accompanied,
wherever possible, with a rough map Of
the country.
This petition should be sent to your
congressman, or to one of your senators
with a request that he indorse the peti-
ton and send it to the postal department.
The Idea is not to establish suburban de-
liYeries, but to give free delivery to per-
sons in remote districts where they would
have to travel from two to twelve miles
to get their mail. -n
The roads must be good. This is an es-
sential prerequisite. No route can be es-
tablished less than twenty miles long, nor
which serves less than 100, families. The
route must be SO arranged that the car
rier shall not have to travel over the
same route twice in the same day. Those
along the route must put up their own
mail boxes convenient to the road AS
q sample peutlcn the following Is given
where rural delivery was recently grant
ed to q section In Indiana:
The undersigned petitioners would show
that they are residents OF Whitley coun-
ty, Indiana. south of the town of Whit
ley. in a thickly settled farming commu-
nifty. That farming is the leading avoca-
ton Of the residents; that the roads are
graveled and In good condition, and that
they ask for rural free delivery of mails
over the following described route:
Then the route Is carefully described
and map of 1t enclosed showing houses
along the route, nature of country, etc
This being sent to Congressman Robin
son and Senator Fairbanks, received their
Endorsement. and, upon investigation of
the postal department, the request was
granted.
Upon receipt of the petition a special
agent Is sent out to examine the section
in detail. In all such cases the advice of
the local congressman or senator Is sought
as to the advisa bilIty of granting the re-
quest. If the request is granted the spe-
cial agent Immediately appoints carriers
and substitutes, placing them under 800
bonds. All rural carriers are under the
control of the local postmaster from
where the mail is delivered.

STRAWBERRIES.

No matter how often one succeeds or
fails in getting a good crop there IS al
ways abundant reward to be hoped for
from the strawberry. Soil we'll stored
With fertility should be selected. and it
should be deeply stirred for a season or
two while In some vegetable crop not
too eXhausting. A good corner in the
garden or potato field, or one that has
been used for pasture or a feed lot the
previous year is a good location for the
strawberry patch. Good plants with plen-
ty of roots should be used. They need
to be set a little deeper than the center
Of the crown, and the roots spread out
fan-shaped downward. They should re-
ceiVe cultivation all through the summer,
and especially after each rain, and pur-
slane and other weeds should be remov-
ed as fast as they appear. Fall mulching,
not took thick on the plants. but more
heavily between the rows, is necessary.
The plot should stand, if possible, on the
south or east side of grove protection,
and where there Is a possibility of snow
drifts lodging. Do not uncover too early,
and then only enough for the plants to
easily get through th1 mulch. Don't have
any variety craze or experiments In the
main planting; use standard sorts These
are few of the many points to be kept
in mind IN strawberry planting. Reading
catalogues while toasting the feet at the
base burner, and pondering over distant
strawberry lore is one way to grow them.
Another and better way is to plant a
good patch on the farm and give 1t the
attention necessary to make it a success.

THE VALUE OF PRUNEs.

1t is we'll known that prunes are a
healthful, as well as pleasant article of
diet. Here IS what an expert says about
them:
People would be far more healthy If
they ate less meat and more fruit. and
of all the varieties of fruit grown in the
United States there is none more nutri-
tious or healthful than prunes. If the
fact were better known that cured
prunes take in a large measure the place
OF meat as body-builder, and that In
addition, they possess, remarkable medi
email properties, the consumption Of This
California product would be fmmeasur
ably increased and there would be no diff
hculty In disposing of every crop how
ever large, at prices much higher than
those which now obtain 1t Is true that
prunes make relishing dessert, but their
proper place on the table is as a part oP
the substantial dietary or. at least as a
regular side dish
cured prunes are relatively cheap and
they come within the means of every
family. They have a soothing effect upon
the nerves and nerve center, and also
great value as a corrective of stomach
disorders. Prunes will do wonders for
people who are depressed, irritable or
generally bad tempered, besides regulat-
Ing the system and correcting bad diges
ton"

the Changes. ,a@...z.t
Close Sat. Prey. Sat,

Grain markets show weakness wholly
unlocked for at the termination Of the
weeks business. AT the<close, of the pre-
Vious week there was every indication
that there would be q gain; rather than
a loss, in the wheat market, while corn
showed more strength than at any previ
GUS date in recent weeks. Weather Con-
ditions have had their effect upon wheat
prices, bat that explanation cannot be
offered for the decline in corn. Predic-
tions of dealers that wheat would GER
tainfy close higher lat the end OF the
month Of March than the figures prevail
ing at the opening of the month, We're
received with favor by the speculating
element, even the bears admitting that
their prospects were by no means bright.
Despite all that was claimed, however,
wheat is off about two cents at the lead
ing grain centers of the country, and
corn Is dull and tlifeless, rr.n - - . :, -,
The oats market has ATTRACTED little at
tentton during the. week. Trading has
been tight, and prices at the close Of
the weeks business showed no material
change. If there Is anything in the oats
market that is new, it is by no means
favorable to the bull element.
STOCKS CLOSED STRONG.
There has been a regular see-saw in the
stock market during the week On the
whole, however, the results are favorable,
and dealers are confident that the better
class of securities are going the right
way. Baltimore & Ohio has again been
center of attraction in stock dealings. On
days during the week when other securi-
ties were dropping, Baltimore & Ohio not
only held its own, but points were added
to the stocks price The better railroads
were all rather strong, despite the weak
ness that prevailed in the market during
a greater portion of the week. Industri-
ais were not so much IN evidence, attract
ing little attention. from either the bull
or bear elements. -

THE ALPHA CABBAGE,

The Alpha cabbage is new variety
described by the American Agricultul1st
Its general character is that of the Flat
Dutch, but it is earlier and remarkable
for its solidity and freedom from SUPER
Huous or waste leaves. The heads are
from six to eight inches in diameter and
arc rarely more than six or seven inches
from the ground Owing to the habit Of
compact growth, they may be planted as
close as ten inches apart in the row. and
the rows need not be more than two
feet apart. IL comparison with Jersey
Wakefield, sown and transplanted at the
same time, 1t produces heads fit for mar,
keting several days before this famous
early cabbage. In solidity it compares
favorably with the Danish Ball Head
Although the excessive drouth Of last
season was disastrous to the cabbage
crop. the Alpha was quite uniform as 10
maturity.

STRANGE. 1t is grand to think OF, for
whisky has kept our county seat back
fifty years. 1t would seem like a new
heaven and new earth, wherein dwelleth
righteousness If we do succeed. This
is more important to us than the war In
Africa"
Some readers may smile at so much en-
thusiasm over such a result, but 1t Is q
matter of greatest Importance to the peo-
pie IN the town ana township concern
ed, greater. as our friends say, than the
result Of the war in Africa, and he might
have added in the Philippines too. 1t is

of the prosperity and morals Of the COM
munity. Well may all the good people
rejoice over the downfall Of the saloons.
