In ST. Petersburg, corresponding for
the London press and taking part IN
some thrilling adventures, but the most
singular of the writer's experiences
happened in Chicago after the novel
had been brought out by a publisher of
that city. The book had been so sue
cessfui that the publisher decided to
give the author dinner, to which
q dozen of the leading men of letters
of the lake city were invited. The
guests had assembled when the author
was announced.

ABOUT THIN SEEDING.
Plants a Chance to Grow to Per-
feet Maturity.

A correspondent of the New York
Tribune writes that having been in
formed by one whom he knew to be
good farmer that he had planted
wheat 16 inches between the rows and
three inches apart In the rows, one
grain in place, and had harvested "a
bushels to the acre. he planted small
plot to wheat on September %, 1888,
on hard clay soil that was manured
in the spring and planted to straw
berries. The planting was six inches
apart in the row between the straw
berry rows. Two rows he planted one
grain to the hill; one row two grains
to the hill. He gave the wheat one
cultivation ON April N. The average
rows planted one grain to the hill was
IS large heads. The largest number
of heads to single grain was &c,
which gave yield of 2,097 grains. The
row with the two grains to the hill
gave an average Of 10 heads to the hill.
The greatest yield was Sc heads to the
hill, which gave yield of 2,0s5 grains
---62 less than the one grain hill. The
yield was at the rate of 106 bushels
to the acre, providing the planting was
IL by inches. I planted small plot
to oats on the same kind of soil on
April "a, planting six inches apart, one
grain to the hill, and cultivated four
times. The yield was at the rate of
175 bushels to the acre, providing the
planting was done IL by 6 inches.
He has raised as many as 45 large
heads from a single grain, when
planted six by six inches apart one
grain in hill, and in 1897 he had two
Sills OF rye, one of which yielded 1926
heads and the other 1877 heads, each
grown from a single grain. The plants
have more room for their roots and
are abundantly and constantly fed at
such distances while in close seeding
they have periods of starvation.

SUGAR BEET TROUBLES
Michigan Farmers Are Not as En-.
thusiastic About Growing Beeta
as They Were a Year Ago.

The farmers of Berrien county.
Mich. who have for several years
been growing sugar beets for the
wolverine Sugar company, whose
plant cost 100000, last year lost
money on their crop, and at farm
ers' institute recently. they did not
mince words in speaking of the mis-
fortune for which the factory seems
to be at least in part responsible.
They claim that the facts relating to
beet culture and the soils adapted to
the root were misrepresented to them
by their contract solicitors. The state
Inspector who assisted in making the
contracts believes the loss sustained
py the farmers due to an unfavorable
year and their inexperience as grow
ers. The farmers, however, are not
satisfied with this explanation, hav-
ing lost their time and summers
work, and demand assurance of pay
ing price, else no beets will be fur
nished the factory by them. The
factory has made some concessions,
but the farmers insist upon more be-
fore they will agree to grow more
beets.
This case is given to show that rosy
as sugar beet growing is represented
by some to be, it has the shady side,
and even with good season, large
yield and convenient transportation
facilities, there is plenty of room for
disappointment. Farmers, however,
have the success or failure of fac
tory in their own hands, for if satis-
factory prices are not received, they
can cease growing the beets, and the
factory will close. It may be that the
Michigan farmers loss is a result OF
"a bad year and their inexperience."
so that, even if alluring prices are Of
fered by factories for beets, farmers
inexperienced in growing them should
go slow and develop gradually as
growers, always taking into account
the uncertainty of seasons.-Farmers'
Voice.

vIRGINIA's BIG APPLE TREES.
Some Giants That Grow at the Feos
OF the Blue Ridge Noun
tains.

Near Stuart, Va, at the foot of a
spur of the Blue Ridge mountains,
there is an apple tree which measures
Zine feet and five inches around, says
the Philadelphia Record. Five feet
from the ground are four branches, the
largest being six feet around, the next
five feet'six inches, the next five feet,
the smalleDt four feet five inches. The
tree is 50 feet high and II feet broad.
Although it is about 70 years old it
/ bore this year very Mrge crop. It
has been known to produce 110 bushels
IN season, and, as might be supposed,
the soil in which it grows is exceeding
ly rich.
On a neighboring farm there is an
apple tree which is eight feet five
inches around In 1880 s5 bushels of
rice picked apples were gathered from
1t and sold at the apple house for 500.
The tree is Is years old and is still bear
ing.
Two miles from Stuart, on the farm
of J. w. Robertson, stands the famous
Robertson apple tree, the parent of all
the apple trees of that name in the
United States. It bears a large red ap-
pie, which keeps well, and it has pro-
duced at one bearing IS bushels, is
about 80 years old and is still in bear
ing.
A few years ago there was on farm
near Stuart an apple tree which pro.
duced at one bearing 100 bushels. It
shaded at meridian 80 feet of ground in
diameter. Apple trees grow very large
in Patrick county, and the flavor of the
fruit is unsurpassed.

1t will be employed to study the
tremors to which our newly-annexed
island group is subject. This under

Interested in .EettIement Work.

Buried in the daily life of the college
settlement is romance Of one Of the
resident workers which involves one Of
the heroes of the Spanish-American
war who was with Roosevelt's Rough
Riders. The girl, Miss Louise Younger,

nobleman and another is engaged to an
officer in the Austrian army. Miss
Louise, however, has dedicated her life

young woman gave up this winter a
brilliant social season in Vienna, and
now, SO absorbed is she in the settle
ment labors, she has broken her en-
gagement to the man who won fame
in the battle Of San Juan hill. The
break is so sudden that few of their
friends know of it.
The man is DR.. Robert Church, the
idol of an old Washington family, and
the man who conducted himself with
such bravery and did such efficient
work in rescuing wounded men under
fire that he won praise not only from
Col. Roosevelt but from all the writer's
who told of the bloody conflict. After
he came from Cuba he met and in two
weeks became engaged to Miss Yeun.
