The KING and the Peasant

Here is little story about the young
king of Italy which is being printed in
the Italian papers, and which Is worth
reproducing. The king was staying
in the country at his place in Raccor-
rigi He is little known to the people
there, for in his walks about the neigh
borhood he always strives to preserve
his incognito. Hence come some curl
GUS adventures. One day, while out
tramping, he got very thirsty, and see
ing a woman milking q COW In a field
near by, he went up to her and asked
her for glass of milk.
"I can't give you any of this" said
the woman, "but If you'll mind the COW
III go to the house and get you some"
So the king minded the cow till the
woman returned with a glass Of cool
milk. Then he asked her where all the
farm hands had gone.
"Oh, they're always running away

Putting in cases the fragile winged,
Others he placed in sacks.

Then, smiling, he viewed that bright ar
ray
Before to bed he went,
Though nary wink of sleep got he,
His mind so bug intent.
He tried to doze, but vain attempt,
1t wouldn't succeed at all,
For all at once the pins dropped out,
And the bugs crawled down the wall.
Willie Bewise's poor eyes popped out
His blood froze at the thought
OF the silent horde Of punctured things
Creeping around his cot.
Then 10, behold! as quick as a wink
They swarmed upon the bed,
While Willie Bewise had scarcely time
To hide his throbbing head.
They tackled him through the counter
pane,
They pinched him through his gown;
Procuring a pin they spitted him,
Which firmly held him down.
The soldier bug then said to the bee
Il can't remember when
I've seen such rara avis,
Or such fine specimen"
This set the other bugs wild with mirth,
They held their sides for joy.

Varieties of Garden Plants.


In the year book for 1901, issued by
the Department Of Agriculture, 1t II
stated that there were catalogued in
1900 no less than 6S5 nominal varieties
of cabbage, $50 Of lettuce, 500 of bush
beans, $40 of sweet corn, 800 each of
cucumbers and table beets, 255 Of pole
beans and almost as many others of
other vegetables. OF course this in
cludes many varieties which differ from
others only by having the addition of a
growers name or some designation In
tended to be descriptive, as 'improv-
ed" "early," ''late." large" or other
addition which Is intended to show q
difference from the others under the
old name. The department lately IS
sued as bulletin "A List of American
Peppers" which enumerates 124 yarie-
ties. Among so many how may one
learn to choose the best? Undoubte0-
ly many of them differ In name only.
and perhaps some growers use more
care In selecting the seed stock or In
keeping varieties pure than do others,
and by the use of their name may de-
sire to gain a reputation, but the above
list might we'll be divided by ten, and
still show all the different types, and
probably all really desirable varieties.

What Scott Did for Scotland.

'The people Of Scotland said John
O. Miller, of Edinburgh, never cease
to bless the memory of Sir Walter
Scott. To the Wizard of the North is
due mainly the credit Of spreading his
country's fame to all parts of the
world, and that is the reason that with
each recurring summer vast numbers
of American tourists pour into our
country. The best part Of their vista
ton, from a practical point of view, is
the good American dollars they dis
pense with no niggardly hand. If it
hadn't been for Sir Walter, they would
have probably never thought to come
our way, and that is why we revere his

Summer Soil Cultivation,

The n thod Of summer soil cultiva-
t1on for conserving the moisture in the
soil brings results that are profitable.
AS a rule, such cultivation should be
Of the surface soil only, rarely more
than two inches deep; but 1t should be
remembered that this applies only to
soils that have been well worked and
plowed to good depth before the seed
was sown. A shallow plowed soil, or
field that Is inclined to bake after
heavy rains, needs more than the shall
low soil cultivation. at least for a num-
Der of times after each rain. This plan
may destroy some Of the roots Of the
plants growing near the surface, but
this Is better than to permit the soil
to remain hard for any considerable
depth. Whenever the soil has been
sufficiently loosened after it has become
hard, then the shallow cultivation
should be put in practice again. On
the other hand, as first stated, the
deeper cultivation should not be done
unless the condition Of the soil requires
it

AN OLD SAW,


A dear little maid came skipping out
In the glad new day, with merry shout;
With dancing feet and flying hair,
She sang with joy in the morning air.
'Don't sing before breakfast; you'll cry
before nightr'
What croak to darken the child's de-
light
And the stupid old nurse, again and
again,
Repeated the ancient, dull refrain.
THE child passed, trying to understand,
But her eyes saw the great world rain
bow-spanned;
Her light little feet hardly touched the
earth,
And her soul brimmed over with innocent
mirth.
"Never mind; don't listen, o sweet little
maid!
Make sure of your morning song" said;
"And if pain must meet you, why, all the
more
Be glad of the rapture that came before.
"Oh, tears and sorrow are plenty enough!
Storms may be bitter and paths be rough,
But our tears should fall like the dear
Earth's showers,
That help to ripen the fruits and flowers.
$50 gladden. the day with your blissful
song;
Sing on while you may, dear, sweet and
strong!
Make sure Of your moments Of pure de-
light,
No matter what trials may come before

ENGLAND'S QUEEN.

Queen Alexandra Is 60 years old, and

There are very few women who can
cheat Father Time out of his due by as

looks no younger. Her baby" the
Princess Carl Of Denmark, aged 80, Is
about the same age in looks.
When Alexandra, the daughter Of the
Sea King. as old King Christian is
called, was born, she came into the
world the first daughter Of a family
that was destined to have many daugh-
ters and sons. Christian, then an insig-
nificant prince, reared a large family,
and his wife Louise looked after their
virtues and education. They grew up
beautiful, every one of them, from
Frederick, the Crown Prince, to the
three daughters and the younger sons,
George and Waldemar.

the Sea King sewed and painted, sang
and worked in the garden. They lived
not so much a rural as town life.

Value of Apple Pomace.

aluC OI apple O"aCCs
Apple pomace is usually held in light
esteem. Many think it not worth the
hauling. 1t is sometimes used as fer
tilizer, occasionally as feed for pigs
or cows, but it frequently goes to waste
behind the cider mill. A minor expert
ment made in 1889 at the Vermont Ex-
pertinent Station indicated that Its
feeding value was about equal to that
of good silage. Inasmuch as the meth
1t seemed worth while to repeat the
trial upon a more extended scale. Ac-
cordingly several tons Of pomace were
obtained from nearby cider mill and
ensiled for preservation. The results
secured were as follows: 1. From one
to three per cent less milk and butter
was made when the pomace was fed
than when corn silage was eaten 2.
The cows gave somewhat better milk
on pomace than on silage. The diff
ference amounted to about O.20 per
cent g. From three to four per cent
more product was made on the unit of
dry matter Of the pomace ration than
that of the si1age ration. There seem
ed to be no i'll effects arising from the
feeding Of fifteen pounds or less daily.
1t is but fair to say, however, that
the milk Of these seven cows was
merged with that of the entire herd.
Had pomace been fed to the entire herd
In these quantities, it might have af-
fected the quality Of the milk or the
butter The present experiment does
not afford data upon this point. 1t is
expected to make observations thereon
during the coming year.-New England

Pasture for Growing Hogs.


On every farm there is usually q
small piece of grass land which may
be fenced at small expense, and If It
can be shaded in some manner such a
plot will be just the place for the grow
ing pigs. A portion of an old orchard
may often be fixed in the manner sug-
gested. and the pigs will thrive in. such
place. If the grass growth Is scanty
try the plan Of cutting grass from 9th
er portions and throwing it to the pigs.
Keep them mainly on the usual sum-
mer rations given when in the pen and
furnish all the fresh clean water plac-
ed in such a manner that they cannot
get into it and wallow. This plan is q
simple one, and easily carried out and
will result In more thrifty pigs than
If kept In the pens during the warm
weather.
