The digging of roots in southern West
Virginia is one of the most lively in

Hundreds of people can be seen from

speed along over the Norfolk and West

with the 'seng hoe and huge bundles
strapped about their backs. There is
but little seng to be found. but the
yellow root and dozen other kinds
are to be found in abundance, and
some diggers are making from So TO

the rich young queen, and quite recently
Henry made clean breast of the matter
to her.
Upon learning all the particulars Queen
Wilhelmina declined point blank to pay
her consort's debts, the result being that
a violent scene took place between them,
which ended in Henry rushing away to
Germany and Wilhelmina being taken ill.
1t is said that only the most imploring
kilograms sent to him by the queens
mother. Queen Emma. induced Henry to
return to Holland. The queens mother
is anxious to preserve appearances, at
least. Since his return to Holland Hen
ry has not been once to the palace where
his queen is.
The stories that the Prince Consort Is
inconsiderate and that his quarrel with
Queen Wilhelmina, which only the inter
vention of the Dowager Queen Emma
stopped. caused Wilhelmina's illness, con-
tinues to gain currency The Amsterdam
Volksdagblatt alleges that the couple are
now completely estrange. The people,
who are devoted TO the Queen, are be-
coming more and more alarmed by the
stories. ard should they prove true, the
people are prepared to wreak their indig-
nation upon the Prince Censort

About Selling Apple.

IL apples are sold to commission men
or fruit dealers it is best to consult
them as to the time and manner of
picking, grading and packing, says
Farmers Tribune They are familiar
with the wants of the trade and know
best how to meet its demands. n large
crop of good winter apples can some
times be disposed of TO the best advan-
tage by selling in the orchard for a
lump sum. This obviates the work and
worry of marketing. and holding such
perishable crop for higher prices is
risky business. 1t is not apt 10 pay
unless one is a good judge Of the mar
ket and the fruit is well stored. Where
the apples are sold on the trees one
should he able to correctly estimate the
quantity of apples on u tree and know
the highest price which they will com
nland on the market. But however the
crop is sold. It is well for the orchard
ist to have the picking under his con
troll. as trees are often injured. limbs
broken. etc.

As Winifred went on her way she was
terribly hurt at proposal so injurious
to her dignity; but it was impossible for
her to feel any annoyance with the man,
who had evidently spoken from sheer
goodwill and the wish to afford her a
pleasure But the idea Of her. Winffred

Thc- result of tests made by compe-
tent men with samples Of seeds sent
to the Buffalo Exposition proves two
things: First, the necessity for care on
the part of farmers in buying seeds
only from reputable Seedsmen, and,
second, the desirability of testing NIL
seeds during the winter, that the loss
of both seed and crop may be avoided.
In the test, referred to the. percentage
of good seed was very low IN the ma
