In the five states of Alabama. Arkan-
sas, California, Colorado and Connect
cut the foreign popula ton is 10000
larger than it was in 1890, while in the
same states the inhabitants of native
birth have increased 100000 in the
same time. Foreign immigration is
large, but the native element gains
upon it steadily.

Consul Mahin, of Reichenberg, says
that, according to report from Brus-

of Tobiansky has discovered method
by which smoke can be turned into

1t seems to be settled that Rear Ad-

for age, which is October 9. Some of
the friends of Admiral Schley have
urged that he be detailed to prominent
shore duty to round out his career, but
the navy department has no place to
which he could be assigned, and he is

Stands by Protection.

Ohio republicanism stands by pro-
lection These are the convincing
words uttered by the republicans of
that state at their recent conven-
ton:
1.-THE principle of protection has achieved
its most signal triumph in the results of
the Dingley tariff law. 1t has given us
marked prosperity at home and a rapidly
growing export trade, which the envy
of the world. The republican tariff policy
has made the farmer and laborer more
prosperous than ever, and no legislation
should be permitted which will imperil the
interests Of either. Tariff schedules which
will protect American labor against the
low wages paid foreign labor must be main
tanned. We reaffirm all declara tions here
tofore made by the republican party in
favor of reciprocity, and urge the making
of such additional treaties based on the
protective principle as will further extend
our commerce"

was the forerunner of the Mckinley
prosperity which is now the wonder
of the world.-Troy Times.
UIn view of the statement of Chair
man Jones, of the democratic national
committee, that Bryan will not be
renominated by his own party in 1904,

shelf, it would not be surprising to
see the Nebraskan at the head of a
party of "reformers" three years
hence. If the democratic party is re-
organized, as has been suggested by

ers in the east, Mr.. Bryan may be glad

WILHELMINA'S HUSBAND.
He Owes 100000, and His Wife Won't
Help Him Out by Paying
His Debts,

The Hamburg papers are full-but
on what authority 1 know not-of
the position taken up by Queen Will
helmina in regard to the debts of her
prince consort, says the correspond
ent of the London Truth. She thinks
she has done enough in granting him
C 10000 year. That was what the
late inestimable prince consort was
valued at by the house of commons
in 1889. 1t ought to be enough in all
reason for a Mecklenberg, the fifth
son of poor house.
So says the Hamburg News, which
also states that the debts amount to
$4,000, that the creditors have clam
ored round the queens palace, and
that their threats were the cause of
much disturbance there.
Prince Henry's pay in the Prussian
army was very small, and his private
income probably no greater, if so
great. He is a judge of horses and
was one of the best-mounted officers
of the Household guard. The ex-
penses of the officers of that corps
have become heavy since the present
kaiser mounted the throne. His
majesty likes show everywhere near
him. His harshest look of surprise
would chill any officer whose style of
living was a confession of poverty.
In Prussian regiment the unit must
follow the general scale of expendi-
ture, and yet more in the guards
than elsewhere. Officers enter a
regiment as they enter club, by the
general consent of those already in
it. They must be clubable in the
social side of regimental life and at
concert pitch. But, even admitting
the largest estimate of the debts,
they can be cleared off in five or six
years out of the annuity of Pyiuce
Henry.

while the slower bluegrass is get

good pasturage between the two
growths of bluegrass, which is at its
best only in spring, early summer and
fall. The timothy will give way when
the bluegrass becomes we'll rooted,
and the rcdtop will do so more or less
on land that is not naturally moist;
but these three grasses should be
used in the formation of a permanent
pasture wherever they thrive.

pe.truct,on OF Amt COLONIES.

AS general rule, ants do not in
jure 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 ten or
twelve per cent. kerosene emulsion
will destroy the lice. A small guam
tityof bisulphide Of carbon poured in-
to the opening. of the ants run, at
the base of the tree, will destroy
them. If the plant lice are destroyed.
however, there will be no difficulty
arising from the presence of ants on

Preparing soil for Satisfy.

The soils for satisfy should be rich,
but with well-rotted manure worked
deep and thoroughly. Upon the per-
feet condition of the soil depend the
straightness and smoothness of the
roots, there being tendency to
branch where fresh manure is applied.
The plants should be cultivated as
parsnips are. They are very hardy,
are not affected by frost, and may be
left in the ground all winter without
harm. But to have the roots ready for
use they should be dug in the fall and
stored away in soil or sand where the
temperature is low. II exposed to the
air the roots become shriveled and
tasteless, and are without value.

SEEDS AND CHEMICALS.
De Applied with Discretion and
In Moderate ouantitles Only.

II nitrate of soda, muriate of potash
and superphosphate are applied in
somewhat heavy doses in the hill or
drill, 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 is
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
~ dilute it. Nitrogen is especially
caustic in its action, and for the source
of nitrogen, if it is to be drilled in at
inc tlme Oh orllllng IN the SEED, we
recommend that dried blood or am.
monium sulphate be used as 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 fortified his cucumber
vines by dropping handful of nitrate
OF soda on each hill. AS 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.
