SUMNER BoARDERs.
Farmers who Keep Them Should Re.
member That They Are In the
Country for Pleasure.

Remember that the boarders are
with you in the country for their own
pleasure, and not fer yours. and try
to adapt yourself to them. rather
than demand that they should adapt
themselves to you, writes Caroline
Benedict Burrell, on keeping Sum-
mer Boarders with Success" in Ladies'
Home Journal. One of the simplest
ways of making them comfortable 10
to give them their meals by them
selves and at their own hours. As
your family is accustomed to early ris-
ing YOU can have an early breakfast
and have it all over before the guests
will wish to rise. So with the dinner
and supper. This may seem to entail
a great deal of trouble on the farmers
wife; yet trial will convince her that
it is the most satisfactory arrangement
all around, the extra trouble not worth
considering. AS to the food, city peo-
ple expect certain things on farm.

good drinking water. plenty OF milk

SEEDS AND CHEMICALS.
Why Commercial Fertilizers shovlA
BE Applied with Discretion ana
in Moderate Quantities Only.

II nitrate of soda, muriate of potash
and superphosphate are applied in
somewhat heavy doses in the hill or
Grill, and the seed is dropped directly
upon the fertilizer before it has been
mixed with the soil, there is very great
danger that the germ Of the seed will
be destroyed. We have many times
killed the germs Of seeds in this way.
But if the fertilizer is applied with the
drill, and mixed with the soil, there il
no danger whatever that the ordinary
application of fertilizer will in any
way injure the seed or plant. Should
fertilizer be applied in extra large
doses, say 500 to 1000 pounds per acre,
and should the season following be
very dry. it is entirely probable that
the plants might be injured by the
heavy application Of fertilizer. The
reason for this is that the plant food
Is too concentrated, and there is not
enough moisture present to sufficient
ly dilute it. Nitrogen is especially
caustic in its action, and for the source
OF nitrogen, If it is to be drilled in al
the time Of drilling in the seed, we
recommend that dried blood or am
monium sulphate be used as a source
OF nitrogen instead OF nitrate Of soda.
Where nitrate of soda is used, it is al
ways best to apply it as top-dressing
where plants are growing upon the
land, SO that they can make use of it at
once. One man in Michigan was told
to apply nitrate Of soda to the growing
plants, and he fertilized his cucumber
vines by dropping a handful of nitrate
OF soda on each hill. AS q result, the
cucumber vines receiving the nitrate
Of soda were completely destroyed.
He should have applied it to the soil
and mixed it with the soil near the hill.

EDWARDS FAvORITE CLUB.
Il Was the MaulborOaEh, Which Eng
lands King Founded ~ Prince
OF Wales.

King Edward VII. may like being
king; but he must sigh secretly
over some of the good things from
which his added dignity cuts him off,
says the New York Sun.
Some unwritten law makes a comb.
nation king and clubman an offense
against the proprieties, but in the
good days when King Edward was
prince of Wales he was one of the
most popular clubmen in London, and
20 ordinary man was more devoted
than he to his clubs.
The Royal Yacht club, the Jockey
club, Whites and several others had
the prince among their members; but
of late years he has been seen most
often at the Marlborough club, OF
which he was the instigator and in
which he was prime mover.
The club has only about 600 mem
bers; and. as the prince himself was
chairman of the executive committee
and always presided, and one black
ball would exclude, there was abso.
lutely no chance Of a member whom
membership was not controlled by
snobbishness. Monarchs and royal per
sonages like Oscar H., King George OF
Greece, Leopold of Belgium, the duke
Of York and the duke of Connaught
are among the members; but popular
professional men have been welcomed
quite as warmly as royalty, and the
club represents, perhaps, the best
brains as we'll as best blood of Eng
land.
Studied comfort and simplicity are
the keynote of the club. Any touch
Of ostentation is avoided. The
lounge, billiard room and morning
room are models Of quiet comfort

fious, the walls being covered with
fine old engravings and the mahogany
furniture being modelled on the most
severe lines. The service is unim.
best in London.
It was thoroughly understood that
the prince frequented the club for
the sake of absolute freedom from GER
emony, and that he would resent any
special attention or recognition of his
rank. Whenever he was in London
he dropped in at the club late in the
afternoon and usually after the the
ater, and took a cue at billiards OF
chatted with friends. If he spoke to
a club member while passing through
a room the man probably looked up,
nodded. and let it 60 at that.
Various startling stories have been
told about high gaming at the princes
favorite club. but have been vigorous
" denied. The rules of the club lay
down limit for card games, and no
other forms of gambling are al
lowed, although ticker in the Office
gives the results of the races and a
great many turf and sporting wagers
are laid in the clubroom.

BIRDS HELP FARMERS.

The bulletins on birds and mann
mails published by the biological sur
vey Of Washington correct widely
prevalent errors as to the economic
status Of species that affect. agricul-
tural interests and demonstrate the
inehRciency and wastefulness of boun-
ty laws, under which millions Of dol

Birds are the farmers most val

the insects that prey on his crops.
How important, therefore, that he
should not destroy them that do him

hawks and owls the division has
shown, by the examination Of the

n..tr-et,.. Of Ant Colonies.

As : general rule, ants do not in
lure vegetables. They are no doubt
attracted to trees on account OF the
presence of colonies of plant lice.
Ants feed upon the honey dew ex-
creted by these insects. A thorough
spraying of the trees with q ten or
twelve per cent. kerosene emulsion
win destroy the lice. A small guam
tity OF bisulphide Of carbon poured in

KINGS IN DANGER.
Means Employed tn Prevent the As
sasslnatiOn Of the M0narchs
Of Europe.

Police prevention is not perfect,
though it does much, for if it were per-
feet there would be no assassinations.
and there are. The problem is. there
fore. to prevent man in the street
from reaching the king either by
bombshell, bullet or knife, and expert
ence shows that it is nearly, if not
quite, insoluble, says the London Spec
tator. BuIlet-proof carriages are Of no
avail against dynamite cartridges, nor
can the king be deprived entirely
either of air or light. One would have
thought an escort which rode close
would be a sufficient security, but
either it is not, or the kings find such
escorts on all occasions wearisome
and hampering beyond endurance.
Disguise is out of the question. for
reasons Of dignity. The use of the
dagger can, we think, be prevented
either by extreme watchfulness on
the part of the kings companions, or
by setting orderlies to ride close up to
the carriage steps, or by Cromwelfs
levice, the wearing of a shirt of mail,
which can now be constructed of
aluminium rings, and need not. there
fore, be intolerably heavy. The best
precaution of all, however, is perhaps
very rapid travelling, as not one man in
fifty can so measure pace as to be sure
OF hitting a mark that moves at u
miles an hour. This was Napoleon S
device, and he kept his life, though
whole groups of men were eager to as
sassinate him, and laid with that end
the most elaborate plots. 1t was be-
cause he suspected the Bourbon prin--
ces of paying for such plots that he
murdered the Due d'Enghein "in re-
prisal." Swift driving is said to be the
device also of William H., and if it
protects him he is clearly bound to
continue it. A king in a modern state
has no more right to defy assassina-
ton than he has to inflict any other
useless misfortune on his people. He
must not shrink in battle, because that
dispirits his armies, but for man in
his position facing assassins is not
courage but foolhardiness. A king,
however, cannot always be galloping;
he has his work to do outside as we'll
as indoors, and there will always re-
main an element Of danger in his posi-
ton. which is best minimized by avail
ing himself of the special liability Of
all intending assassins to be betrayed.
