The Duchess de Tallyrand ct Sagan
has had quite a series of difficulties in
clothing her son for his marriage to
Miss Morton, and has twice been
obliged to invoke the courts to her aid
Owing to the condition of the Duke de
Tallyrand ct Sagan the duchess was
forced to attend to all the legal fea-
lures of the marriage. In order to
avoid family complications she ad-
dressed herself to the courts for per-
mission to give her son a wedding dot
of $3.50, 600. The courts granted the
request, particularly as the duchess de-
clared she had every right to dispose
of such sum of money, as her own dot
had been 5 $4,000. 900. At the last min
ute, however, there was a complica-
ton in the matter. 1t is said the
brides father did not find $780, 900 suf-
ficient. Whatever the real reason, Just
before the marriage the duchess has
tened to Paris from London and again
asked the courts to allow her to add
her superb residence and gardens to
the dot. A day or two before the cere-
mony the courts granted the duchess
request. and Miss Morton, now Count
ess Bosom de Perigord, will in conse-
quence preside over as its absolute mis-
tress one of the most beautiful homes

Adolph Nathan, formerly president
of the Chicago Civic Federation. is in
Europe investigating the methods of
taxation and municipal government in
different countries of that continent.
In a recent interview in Berlin he said:
THE taxing methods of Europe ap-
proach much nearer to fairness,
justice and equity han do American
methods. Broadly expressed, it is the
European theory that the support of
government, both national and local,
should be derived from rents, interest,
dividends and profits. No tax is con
templated on means of production. but
only on results of production, provided
1t is profitable. This may have its
drawbacks, but to my mind it is a
thoroughly r and wise principle"

Sow Some Beard1ess Barley

I have sown the beardless barley for several seas ons. With me it pays better than oats, because it yields as many bushels to the acre, or more if sown on good ground; besides, it weighs more to the bushel. It makes a splendid dairy feed ground with equal parts of corn and oats, also for fattening hogs. It is considered an- excellent feed for laying hens. In the winter, when eggs are bringing 25 cents dozen or more, I like to % every week to market with a good sized basket. But it does not pay to SOW spring beardless barley on poor soil, because it grows and ripens in so short a time. It ripens three or four weeks before oats. If sown early it ripens before wheat.-Rural New Yorker.

NOTES FROM THE FIELD.

The rail fence is a curiosity in some parts of central Illinois.
 Everything has it's day, but it is not likely that the Belgian hare will cele- brate it's day in this country.
 This is the time to test seeds. Don't plant or SOW any kind of seeds without testing them for germinatin power or vitality.
 Lots of beautiful seed catalogues free for the asking. Many of them are gorgeous1y illustrated and itho- graphed. Look over them.
 Complete fertilizer is one which con- tains the three essential fertilizing constituents, namely, nitrogen, phos- phoric acid and potash. Barnyard ma- nure is an example of a complete fer tilizer since it contains all three of these constituents.
 It is time to be testing the clover seed. There is but little economy in getting clover seed 75 cents bushel cheaper than the market price and having one-fourth of the sowing fail of germination. Moreover, unless you test the seed you never will know where the fault lay that the stand of clover was poor.-Farmers' Voice.

thing else, most of the laborers are drawn. Among them, while it is hard to procure cup of the coffee which they are cultivating, one may easily obtain atole Gan Aztec drink), chocolate, or te de ojas (hot water poured on orange leaves).
 Coffee growing was first introduced into Mexico from the West Indies by a Spaniard. His successful expert ment induced other haciendados to follow his example, and now the in dustry is one of the most successful and profitable in the republic. In the extreme northern states of Chihua- hua, Coahuila and Nuevo Leon, it does not do we'll because of the occasional frosts, but further south, whether in different attitudes, varying climates, temperate, hot and dry, low and damp, at Vera Cruz, Oaxaca and even to the isthmus, it thrives. In the temperate table land, the ''caffea arabica," re-
 sembling mocha, grows. It is an ever green, shrubby and hardy, in height varying from five to seven feet. The hot, moist, country variety resembles Java coffee. The trees are higher.
 In order to go into the business of coffee raising 8. man must have a stock of patience and one of money sufficient to last him for five years at least, for that length of time must e1apse before he receives any appre- ciable returns from his investment. Seeds are put in and the plants raised in small beds, often in the shade of trees. The seedlings may be trans planted when about eight months old, at regular distances (a,bout six to ten feet apart) from each other, so that the full-grown trees will not interfere. They must then be kept free from weeds, shaded when they require it, from the too great heat of the sun, and topped, if necessary (many growers do not believe in the pruning processes). When about three or four years old the first blos- sons appear among the vivid, shin ing leaves. These and the subse- quent berries grow along the stem in clusters, sometimes singly. The fragrant blossoms first appear in the winter months, the green berries about July, and in October and No vember they are matured for pick ing. They must be taken from the tree, one at time, by hand, and placed in basket suspended around

READY FOR BUSINESS.
The Farmer Who Succeeds Is He Who Thinks and Is Prepared to Act
 at a Moments Notice.

While the farmer can do much to be ready for the cropping season of the regular crops grown, yet weather con aitions may be such that different methods of seeding and culture may be required, and even other crops have to be grown than those contemplated early in the season. The planning even for such emergencies is part of successful and paying farming.
 The writer has known, and so have our readers known, good farm land which was intended for corn to be per- mitted to grow up to weeds all sum mer because wet spring prevented the planting until too late to make what the owner thought profta ble crop of corn. Possibly wheat was sown on the land in the fall, but if some quick growing forage crop had been sown on this land, this farmer would not all the following winter have been so short on feed.
 Hence, readiness means not only having definite plans to be pursued if conditions are favorable, but even supplementary ones which can be made to manage existing conditions, though these be adverse to earlier plans. Farming is a gigantic operation, and when farmers accede to this fact and prepare for it accordingly the success so desired will be much more likely to be attained. The days of tickling the soil and gathering harvest are with the past. And though agriculture has not attained the place even among farmers themselves that it's inn portance demands, yet up-to-date in teIligent methods are being more gen. erally adopted and the results are be- Ing felt. And knowing that possible changes in plans may occur, how to meet them will prove one master of situations that will increase ones in- terest in farming. The knowing where to procure seed needed for a supple mentary crop is part of this prepara- tion. Farmers should post themselves as to where seed of the various crops can be obtained, and as to the farmers in their section having seed oats, corn, cowpeas, etc., for sale, and where can be purchased any and all farm sup plies. This knowledge enables farm CT to be ready.-Co1man's Rural World.

What Result to the so,1e

l would not seem to undervalue sta- ble manure, but it is mistake to suppose that land must grow poor when we cease to feed everythino upon the farm. It is not necessary to sacrifice all income for the sake of keeping up the soil. Now that we know more about the composition of the soil, we know that productiveness depends in great degree upon the presence of organic matter in it, and not solely upon stable manure or com mercial fertilizers. The ideal condi- tion would be one in which a goodlv number of live stock could be kept with profit on nearly every farm, but the cattle feeders of most fertile eastern valleys must give up a farm scheme that makes fat cattle and wheat the only cash products. The list of cash crops will be made longer and clover, peas and sods must be freely used to supplement the ma nure.-Farm and Preside.

when cultivated it's top is cut back. The white flowers resemble those of the jessamine. The ripe berry is red, like great cherry. Squirrels, rats and monkeys are dreaded enemies of the coffee planter. The. berries are transported by rail from the interior to the seaports of the countries men toned, thence shipped to the United States, while the product reaches us by the railroad direct from many parts of Mexico. That wonderland, lying so near us, which holds the relics of an advanced civilization, old when the nations of Europe were just emerging from barbarism, has proved very alluring to coffee planters. To visit this most grand and beautiful, rich and fertile land one should not
 confine himself to the railways or most frequently travelled routes. To fully appreciate Mexico one must
