READY FOR BUSINESS.
The Farmer Who Succeeds IL He who
Thinks and i. Prepared II ei
mt n Moments NOTICE.

While the farmer can do much IN n.
ready Tor the cropping season of the
regular crops grown, yet weather con-
oltlons may be such that different
methods of seeding and culture may
be required, and even other crops have
20 be grown than those contemplated
early In the season. The planning
even Tor 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-
mltted To grow up To weeds all sum-
mer because a wet spring prevented
the planting until too late TO make
what the owner thought profitable
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
10 manage existing conditions. though
these be adverse to earlier plans.
Farming is a gigantic operation. and
when farmers accede 10 this fact and
prepare for il accordingly the success |
so desired will he much more likely TO |
be attained. The days of tickling the /
soil and gathering a harvest are with |
the past. And though agriculture has |
not attained the place even among !
farmers themselves that it's i'm
portance demands. yet up-to-date in
telligent methods are being more gen
orally 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 supple
mentarN crop is part of this prepare
ton. Farmers should post themselves
as 10 where seed Of the various crops
can be obtained. and as 10 the farmers

Germans Continue Preparations For
Their Expedition-Ex In-

Some Trouble In the Future.
PEKING, Feb. 20-Noon. The foreign
ENJOYS this morning received an official
communication from the Chinese pleni-
potentiaries, offering to agree to all the
terms of the powers. The Chinese de-
sired, however, to save the lives of Chao
Shu Chiao and Ying Men, but they
were informed that the ministers in.
sisted on the former demands. A COM
plete surrender is expected tomorrow.
Meanwhile extensive preparations are
being made for the expedition planned
by Count Won Waldersee. The Ger.
mans have purchased 1860 camels for
transport purposes.
A representative of the Associated
Press was informed by the foreign min
listers today that they think the gravity
OF the situation is over; but it is expected
that difficulties will now arise among
themselves when some Of the govern.
ments send their indemnity claims.
Particularly is there uneasiness regard
ing the attitude of Germany that her
claims must be paid in cash before the
evacuation Of that place. The ministers
resent this, saying it will be impossible
for China to pay, as China has not
large reserve and the customs receipts
go to pay dividends on former loans;
and it is improbable that she could bor-
row sum of any magnitude. United
States Minister Conger estimates the
total demand upon China at $400 900, 900.

King Edwards Trip Abroad.

LONDON, Feb. 20.-The announcement
of the date Saturday of King Edwards q
departure for Friedrichsoff, near Cron-
berg, has revived the stories that his
trip will extend to Berlin to repay EN-
peror Williams visit to England at the
time Of Queen Victoria's death, and
that he will go thence to Denmark. At
present, however, his majesty has no
intention of so doing. He will pay
strictly private visit of few days to
the Dowager Empress Frederick. He
will not be accompanied by the queen.
1t is expected that at the end of March
King Edward and his Queen Alexandra
will go to Copenhagen, whence King
Edward will visit Prince Henry of
Prussia at Kiel.
