been very active in the past week or
so in the discharge OF the duties as
signed to him. He is engaged in plan
ming ways and means for caring for
the Confederate veterans when they

tions and II this should prove true they
will have to be cared for the same as IL
they were in actual service. again. but
with more care for their comfort. The
commissary committee Is to look after
these matters. Mr.. Langstaff announces
that 1t is the purpose Of the commit

do with the Nicaragua canal affair. To
quote from British official, The Mic
arasua controversy Is minor matter
compared with the present situation"
What Choate did was to receive from
Lord Lansdowne an important message
declaring that Great Britain was not
satisfied with Russia's declaration re-
garding Manchooria. as delivered to Sir
Charles Stewart Scott, British ambas-
sador at st. Petersburg, by Count
Lamsdorf, and asking the United States

action of such decisive nature that
Russia would have no alternative but
to recede from her position. Almost
simultaneously the United States gov

sailors TO take similar steps.
HAYS Answer Not Received.
The answer Of Secretary Hay has ap-
parently not yet been received in Lon
don, although the fact that almost con-
current Instructions were issued from
Washington is taken here to be suf-
fcient guarantee that Russia's action
in Manchooria will not be tolerated
by the United States. Japan is relied
upon to take line in harmony with
the United States and Great Britain.
Germany, in spite Of the Anglo German
compact, is regarded as rather doubt
full, owing to Emperor Williams

significance of the present phase can
be appreciated only by those eognizant

Russian action in China. Within the

What a week or two ago was pro-
nunced only in line with Russia's usual
policy is now termed "a grave and
serious state of affairs" Lord Lans-
downe is using every effort to bring
the powers into line, in order to pre-
sent to Russia such a menacing front
that, without any ambiguity regarding
temporary or other occupation, she
may give up all designs upon Man,
chooria. What prompts the British
foreign office to take such an alarm

looked upon as fatalistic sequences is
the apprehension that Russia, having

Tree-Sellers.

L. R. Taft, Professor of Horticulture
in the Michigan Agricultural College.
says: Farmers are frequently advised
not to buy their trees from travelling
agents or dealers. While this advice
can often be followed to advantage,
there are many agents who represent
reliable nurseries and, where the hon
esty Of the agent and the standing OF
the nursery can be depended upon, 1t
will be found that trees can be ordered
through the agents that will be fully
as reliable as those that would be OBJ
tanned directly from the nursery, and
the extra price OF the trees would be
but little If any more than the cost of
the package and express for small
order. We would, however, particular
ly caution against any persons who
make extravagant claims for the va
rieties they have for sale. While 1t is
always desirable to secure first-class,
well-grown stock, there will be no &C.
casion to pay an extra price for trees
grown by some special or secret meth
cd. Although there is some difference
between varieties in their suseepti-
btifty ~ attack by diseases and ineeees
no varieties have yet been obtained
which, under all conditions, are en-
tirely free, and no faith should be put
upon the claims Of agents who agree
to furnish trees blight or cureulio
proof for a price considerably higher
than is charged for other kinds.

Tho Weed Question.

Weeds are never of much concern to
the energetic farmer. He takes them
as a matter of course. He knows they
cannot stand the cultivation that his
hoed crops require, and are rendered
impotent by a well-managed rotation.
Men are constantly trying to find some
easy way of getting rid Of weeds.
chased will kill weeds, but the cost Of
the chemicals and the labor of apply
ing make the problem a big one. In
some cases we have known salt boun-
tifully sown along the roadways to kIii
weeds. The work was apparently ac-
complished, but proved to give only a
temporary advantage. The rains d.
luted the salt and the land again be-
came open to the reception Of weed
seeds.
In England and in France expert
ments have been carried forward to as
certain the effect Of spraying weeds
with certain chemicals, notably sui
phate Of iron solutions. The results
have been what might have been ex-
pected-partial success and partial
failure. II we could find some mex
pensive method by which to annihilate
all weeds it would not be to the ad-
vantage Of the farmer. The weed is
the thing that tends to make immense
farms Improbable and tends to en-
courage what we call small farming
The many small farms are of more
benefit to the nation than are the few
large ones. Abolish weeds and II
would be easy for the great combina-
tons Of capital to get control Of all
the farm lands. The army Of weeds is
a bulwark against such an invasion
Intensive farming destroys weeds.

The record made by the manufac-

most striking feature of the history OF
our foreign commerce during the pc
piod 1S90-1900. The treasury bureau

alysis of the record of our foreign COM
merce during the calendar year 1900,
and comparison Of the figures thus
presented with those of 1890 and the
intervening years discloses some in
teresting facts. 1t shows a remarkable
increase in the importation of manu-
facturers' materials and even greater
increase in the expectation Of manu-
featured goods, while in the importa-
ton Of manufactures there is q decided
decrease, showing that the manufac-
turers have not only increased their
expectations but also increased the
share which they are supplying OF the
manufactures consumed in the United
States. The importations OF foodstuffs
have also decreased while the exporta-
lions Of foodstuffs have materially in
creased.

1t is always difficult to keep sweet
potatoes. but 1t can be done. even out
side Of cold storage house. 1t is be-
lieved that SO degrees is the best tenn
perature for this kind of tuber. An
other requisite is dryness. Van Deman
says that in New Jersey the farmers
dig pits where they will remain dry
and store the tubers in these. The po-
tatoes are covered to depth Of sew
eral feet with pine needles, and these
in turn are covered with dirt. The

A tree planter says that the great
est enemy to newly-planted woody
plants is grass. When such plants and
trees are set in holes cut in the sod
they do, not generally do well. Keep
the sod away and give each tree ana
shrub chance to grow. The tree that
Is once established and can reach out
and get the food it needs will require
little attention from year to year. Care
should be used not to plant a tree too
low; 1t should be planted a little high
er than it stood before. Whether
trees or shrubs, they should be given
room in which to grow. When Large
trees are to be set out, especially large
forest trees, 1t Is advisable to steady
them with wire stays and cables The
stays should not be wound around the
trees. but should be fastened into wire
eyes screwed into the trees. These
stays will prevent the wind swaying
the trees, and loosening the roots.
while they are still loosely fxed In the
