NEW ZEALAND'S KING.
The Leading Man of That Country
and His Standing with the
People.

Richard J. Seldom, the premier of
New Zealand, now on visit to Eng
land, is popularity known at his
home as king Dick Seldom" Mr..
Seldom is in many respects a re-
markable man, says London paper.
He made a hit recently by giving, in
one of his speeches in South Africa,
where he stopped on his way to Eng
land, the first official hint that peace
actually was in sight, but what has
made his especially popular in Great
Britain is the part he played in sup
porting the empire during the war.
At the head of his colony's govern
ment he "came out strong" for the
mother country's side in the con-
troversy, and in the most hopeless
days of the campaign insisted that
the struggle must be fought out to
a finish. He headed the movement
to send contingent of New Zealand
troops to South Africa and promised
that men should be supplied until
there was no longer any necessity
for reenforcements. This attitude
won him as much applause in New
Zealand as it has done in England.
His recent journey along the south
ern coast of his country was such
succession of fetes and receptions
that it seemed like a royal progress,
and there is now a project on foot
to make him gift of a purse of
$4,000 in gold as a national testi-
monial.
Seldom is a type of man that is
much commoner in the United
States than in England-the sort of
a man that begins life with nothing
but his bare hands and comes out
on top by sheer force of bigness of
energy and purpose. A boy of IS,
he went out to New Zealand in 1867,
when the gold fever was on, and
during his first days there got his
bread and butter by washing bot
ties in a cheap tavern. He lived the
hard life of the mining camps and
then his rise began. At "a he went
to the New Zealand parliament, and
after that kept on up the ladder
until he got the premiership, with
which he now dovetails in few
other little posts, such as colonial
treasurer, minister of labor, minis
ter of defense and commissioner of
trades and customs. Like all men
who spend their lives in pushing on big
things perhaps he may have given some
of the qualities of the Juggernaught
to some of them. His success has
made him enemies. At any rate.
there is a section of New Zealand
| people to whom Mr.. Seldom is king
Dick derisively. and he has had to
fight through many bitter politi-
cal campaign. The best proof of his
popularity with the majority, how
ever, is that he has held the pre-
miership for II years.
The man who has risen from
''bottle-washer" to "chief cook" is
rugged and burly and looks rather
oddly in court dress. He is especial
| ly fond of telling how he owes his
| life to a brass band. Gas a boy"
he says, 81 once came very near
drowning. A passing bandsman no.

HINTS ABOUT HORSES.

Plaster scattered on the stable floor
keeps down bad doors and purifies the
air.
Don't put your horses feet in I'M
skilled hands. Good feet are spoiled
by bad shoeing.
Keep your horse feeling good by
proper food and care and he will more
than repay you for the little extra
time you give him.
You can influence the shape of a
colts legs by keeping the feet trimmed
in proper shape, the same as you can
trim growing twig.
Have your horses teeth dressed oc-
casionally. A little attention given
to this will prevent so-called "side
driver or ''puller." 1t prevents sore
mouth and assists mastication.
Tie your horse SO that he can lie
down comfortably at night. 1t is .
practice with some grooms to tie a
horse so he can't lie down, to save
work in cleaning him the next morn
ing.
Don't bring your horse in hot from a
drive if you can help it; if you do, rub
him thoroughly dry. A slow jog or
walk for a short distance before un-
hitching will cool him off quicker and
save much work-Green's Fruit Grow

feet above the surface. The arm is
of wood two by eight inches by four
feet. 1t is fastened to the pole by
a six-inch piece of pipe passing tight
ly through a hole in the middle of the
arm and fitting into the top of the
large pipe. The vines are cut back
to two main branches each winter,
The shoots which bear the fruit
start each spring and are allowed to
swing free, according to the principle
of the Knifin system, as in the illus
tration. The vines are cut back to
the two arms each winter, new
growth being substituted for the old
arms at the same time. Vines so
treated give a good crop, easily gath
cred and of very fine quality and ap-
pearance, and the training is less
work than by almost any other meth
cd. Another advantage is that the
vines may be cultivated in both di-
rections with no wires to interfere.
Iron posts, too, do not harbor in
sects and fungus growth.-Orange

HOW CORN ROOTS GROW.
study of the Subject Proves That All
Fertilization Should be Through
the Surface Soil.

1t is by looking closely, and so reach
ing all the facts-in short, getting a
scientific knowledge-that we make
real progress in agriculture, as, in
deed. in almost everything relating to
nature. On the subject of the roots of
corn writer in Up-to-Date evinces
such careful examination as we have
indicated. He directs attention to the
fine thread-like roots near the surface,
as near as they can find both heat and
moist soil. These roots, he says,
spread out horizontally and are almost
certain to be destroyed or pruned by
the cultivator shovels. AS the plant
develops and has more need for food
second set of horizontal roots are
formed, larger than the others. These
are the main feed roots of the plant,
and in loose soil they grow five to seven
feet long. If the condition of soil will
permit, these roots will develop at
such depth below the surface as to
be safe from the cultivator shovels,
but as they branch out into numerous
fine fibrous roots they actually fill the
fine, cultivated soil to draw food from
every particle, and only shallow culti-
walton will prevent injury to them.
Besides the two sets of horizontal
roots as described, there are usually
two or more sets, beginning at or near
the base of the stalk as brace roots
and go straight down into the sub
soil. They have been traced as deep as
four feet These vertical roots have
few fbrous roots attached, but serve
an important end in being able to
bring moisture from the deep soil, late
in the season, when droughts are likely
to prevail.
AS will be seen the roots of the corn
plant develop as the top grows; also
an understanding of the root develop
ment suggests the method of fertiliza-
ton which should be through all the
surface soil, and not in the hill nor in
the row only. The cultivation should
be done so as not to interfere with the
roots that want to occupy the ground
prepared for them, yet at the same
time prevent evaporation of the mois-
ture by maintaining surface mulch
of fine earth, by frequent shallow cul-
tivation.

TREATMENT FOR LICE.
To Keep Poultry Free from Vermin
Is as Essential to Success as
Good Feeding.

While the food is important, it is
not any more so than taking care to
keep the poultry free from vermin
This is not hard task if taken in
time. Any of the lice killers used
judiciously around the nests will kill
the lice on the hens, but be careful
not to use them too freely. Years
ago I killed some very fine turkey
hens by using too much. If you have
neglected to treat for lice before she
Matched, take the mother when she is
through and thoroughly dust her
with insect powder. Give her a
chance to shake the powder we'll out
of her feathers before giving her
the poults, for all vermin. powder in
jures the eyes of little ones if it gets
into them. If the weather is dry
and warm take each poult and rub
under the throat a little thick cream,
and if the wing feathers have started
out well, rub them also, and put the
poults back under the hen until
thoroughly dry. Now, don't put
much on each part. Don't grease
with anything else if you have the
cream, and that must be thick. If
you have none, then a very little
pure lard will do. Don't mix with
carbolic acid or anything else. A
few moth balls in the roosting places
is as good as anything to keep YER
min down after you once get rid of
them. Little turkeys must be kept
dry until they are well feathered.
After the wheat is harvested they
will take care of themselves, but
they should roost near the house. If
they roost out one night something
may catch them.-Mrs. B. G. Mackey,
in Reliable Poultry Journal.

From the last OF July to the mid

much better without males among

down in brine or some other preserv-

King Enjoys Fires.

King Edward, from childhood, has
always shown the keenest interest in
fires and fremen. Of all the enter
tainments provided for him by the
city of New York, he has most often
remembered, and says he most en-
ioyed, a parade of the volunteer fire
department in his honor. There were
5000 firemen in uniform, and all, Save
those in charge of ropes and tillers,
bore torches. 1t was great spec
tacle, and the prince, as he looked
at the brilliant display in Madison
square, cried repeatedly: ''This is
for me; this is all for mel" with I'M
affected glee. During many years of
his life, he used to be informed when
ever a really big blaze was signaled,

GRANDMA.

Grandma sits in her rocking chair
Watching the sun go down.
There s a yellow glow in her snow-white
hair
As she sits on the porch in the open air,
That seems like golden crown.
Watching the clouds with dreamy eyes
| wonder what Grandma sees?
Is she watching the picture in the skies,
That change and fade as the sunlight dies,
Above the distant trees?
All her life she has done her best
TO walk in the narrow path:
Which leads to the mansions of the blest,
Where longing hearts find peaceful rest,
In never-ending day.
And now she IS old and her work is done,
Her treasures safe on high;
The sands of her life are almost run;
Her earthly battles are fought and won,
Aid Heaven Graweth nigh
What does she see in the summer sky,
Watching the suns last ray?

That brighter grows as the days go by,
And ends in perfect day.
