American Girl, wives Of Germans.

American Girls, Wives OF Germans
It Is worthy of note that not only
was the wife Of the Baron Won Kettel-
er, the German minister who was muir
dered in Pekin, an American, Miss
Ledyard, of Detroit, but the wife of
the German minister appointed to sue
ceed Won Ketteler, the Baron Won
SchWarzenstein, is an American, Maud
Roosevelt La ~vinsen, and the wife of
the onicer sent out to command the
allied armies, the Count Won Valdez
see, is an American, Miss Lee of New
York. The Baroness Won Schwarzen-
stein is a second cousin of Colonel
Roosevelt, and was a belle in Wash
ington two years ago. She met there
the Baron Mumm Won S-chwarzenstein,
who was attached to the German lega-
ton. Miss La Vinsen was stopping
with her mothers sister, the Baroness
Won O%rendorff. The baroness took her
niece to Europe, whittier the attache
followed, and the marriage took place
in Berlin. The bride had no fortune
OF any amount, and the marriage was
one of pure affection on both sides.
The Baron Schwartzenstein, although
only forty years old, has had a long
experience in statecraft, and is consid-
cred an able diplomat.-New York

Abandoned Farms.

Every once in a while we notice re-
ports of what certain men have done
on so-called abandoned farms. Often
the returns from the land are quite
phenomenal. The explanation is that
some man with both brains and money
has taken hold and put into practice
business methods. Had these been
put into operation from the first there
would have been no abandoned farms.
Men that have investigated the condi-
tons in localities where such lands
have been thrown out of cultivation
have found that the lands had become
run down through constant cropping
without putting back the manure
necessary to keep up the fertility.
What is true of the East is equally

The success of smokeless powder in
modern warfare has been such as to
prompt a man of an inventive turn of
mind to manufacture a powder which
is said to be also noiseless. 1t is the
invention of a German workman who
studied chemistry of explosives in this
country. He has already given a pri-
vate exhibition of the ~practicability of
MS discovery with considerable sue
cess. A shell loaded with his powder
was fired at a target fifty yards away
and the only sound indicating the ex-
plosion was the falling of the plunger
OF the shell. Bohnengal, which is the
name of the inventor, has not, it is
said, yet sold the secret Of the process.
but is still in treaty with different
governments for it's purchase.

agriculture, says: Figure No. /
shows the position and distribution OF
the corr roots in the soil to a depth
of AZ feet, and indicates the office of
each class, and their orderly arrange
ment and development at a certain
time for a certain work. The seed
roots sustain the hnd until the first
green leaf appears. The first roots
then follow and seek the surface soil,
which first feels the suns warmth.
These are in turn supplanted by the
first circle roots that radiate from
the butt end of the stalk like the ribs
of an umbrella from the shaft, and
spread out on a lower level, usually
five to ten inches below the surface,
and often exceed eight feet in length.
These first circle roots are the main
food CATERERS, and send out numerous
ibrous branches in the direction
where water and food are most album
dant and temperature most favorable.
The second and subsequent circle roots
developing n after another as the
plant increases In height and the soil
is warmed to greater depth, seek the
subsoil and rarely spread out on the
surface. Figures 3, 3, 4 and 5 show
such roots, which were followed to a
depth of Az feet with no terminal
point in sight.

those of u own quick-witted volun-
teers, have their good side. The Rus
sian soldiers patience is boundless;
his endurance, his good-humor under
hardship, his capacity for fighting on
an empty stomach and under difficult
ties, are beyond all praise, and will
enable a general who appreciates these
qualities to work wonders with them;
and he is probably the steadiest of all
soldiers under defeat and adversely.

Hugh John Macdonald, who sue

sentative leader in Canada, is the son
of Sir Charles old leader and a fam

significant nickname of Man Who

Ordinarily the larva works in the
woody parts Of the stem, boring in
both directions and appearing to pre-
fer the portion near the roots.
Ordinary insecticides are of no value
against this insect. When once it has
entered the vines, and repellants are
practically useless. The measures
n a have been found of greatest value
are not to plant on infested ground,
to plant early varieties for the pro-
lection of late squashes; to harrow in
tested fields late in the fall and p4oH
deeply in spring, or reverse the pre-
ess to prevent the moths from issuing,
to encourage the growth OF secondary
roots by covering the vines at the
joints with earth; to destroy dead
vines and old plants as soon as the
crop is made; to keep the plants in
vigorous condition, free from ether in
sects and diseases; to cut Il such
borers as may succeed in entering the
vines; and to capture the moths early

Hog Weed for Fodder.

We notice in an exchange the ex-
periences of some farmers that were
short of hay and cured the hog weeds
for fodder. They claim that their stock
readily eat these weeds when cured
and the weeds do not seem to mind
drouth. If they can be used for hay
they might become very valuable in
stead of a nuisance on the farm. If
any of our readers have had experience
in this matter we would like to hear
from them.

An English horticulturist, speaking
on what to do with inferior apples and
how to dispose of them without injur-
ing the market, says that the best way
is not to grow them. The answer is
n of those sayings that attempts to
answer a question without answering
it. We do not intend to grow inferior
apples, but we do grow them in spite
of ourselves, and the problem arises
of how to dispose of them without
loss. Feeding to cattle is one way sug-
gested, as apples have the same feed
ing value as turnips. This is a good
way to get rid of them if getting rid
of them is the principal object.
A man in South Haven, Michigan,
has brought suit for 5000 against an
other man for damage done to his
peaches by bees belonging to the man
sued. The first man CLAIMS that his
neighbor keeps 60 hives of bees and
that they come into his peach orchard
and bite through his peaches, thus
rendering them unmarketable. It is
the old question of whether or not bees
can injure peaches. The question has
generally been answered in the mega
tive.
It is said that at Sault ote. Marie
there is a pulp mill that is turning out
$50 tons of wood pulp in a single day.
To supply this mill twenty-five acres
of the best spruce land is cleared each
day. 1t is a destroyer of future for
ests, for all kinds " tire S can be- used
the little as veil as the big. The trees
that are to make the lumber of the
future are thus prevented from grow,
ing. The system is n that tends tt
devastation rather than to increase O
production.

A factory is being constructed in

is said that over-ripe apples ana small

a success it will help at least to settle
the question of disposal of unmarked
