Stats General Opened by the Queen
of The Netherlnnds.

THE HAGUE, Sept. 16.-Queen Wilhelm
ina opened the Stats General in person
to-day. She appeared TO have completely
recovered from her illness. She was &C
companied by her husband. Prince Henry.
and the queen mother. The Queens refer
ence to the foreign affairs in the speech
from the throne was confined TO the state
ment that the relations of The Netherlands
with foreign powers continued very friend
ly. The rest of the speech was devoted
TO domestic affairs. The Queen said that
although the Dutch shipping trade had
been affected by the crisis which has
arisen elsewhere. the condition OF the CON-
merce and industry of The Netherlands re-
manned satisfactory and that of agriculture
was not unfavorable. Labor conditions
were improving, but there was much room
for betterment. Among the bills announced
We're measures increasing educational
facilities, restricting compulsory vacclna-
ton, pensioning teachers. regulating lot
teries, abolishing the state lottery and
amending the sugar law.
The Queen mother this afternoon visited

SETBACK FOR ALTERNATIVES.

Several recent events must give the DEM
ocratic leaders who are in the anti-Bryan
reorganization movement subjects for very
serious consideration. One of these was the
practical announcement of a concert of ac-
ton during the next two years between
Mr.. Bryan and Mayor Tom L. Johnson.
Not only does Mr.. Bryan devote a page of
his paper to extolling Mr.. Johnson, but he
journeys all the way from Nebraska to
Ohio to take part in the Johnson campaign
in that State. Should the Johnson ticket
poll the usual Democratic vote in Ohio for
an off year and Mr.. Bryan hold the fusion
vote In Nebraska, this announcement means
that the Johnson-Bryan combination will
begin the year in which a campaign is to
be made for the control of the Democratic
organization in the national contest of 1901
with a nucleus which the reorganizers will
not have. 1t will be a powerful organiza-
ton to unite and make effective the scat
tered but determined elements of the Dem
ocratic rank and file which yet hold Mr..
Bryan in admiration as the peerless
leader" AS the months pass the careful
looker-on must realize that the Bryan ele-
ment in all the States west of the Allie
gheny mountains is much larger and more
persistent than 1t appeared some time since.
In the Democratic convention in this State
the voice of the rank and file was silenced
by the leaders, but the only enthusiastic
shout in the convention was called out by
mention Of Mr.. Bryan's name. Since thai
time county conventions nave been declar-
ing for the Kansas City platform. and it
is reported that Representative Miers, in
the Second district, would like Mr.. Bryan's
assistance. The same condition exists in
Illinois. The Democratic State convention
rejected the Kansas City platform. but
county conventions in the Democratic
~strongholds are approving it. The anti
Bryan Democrats are pointing TO the re-
lection of the Kansas City platform by the
Iowa Democratic convention. What did the
| victory of the anticipates show? Simply
| that in a convention OF zoo delegates, largely
controlled by the anti-Bryan leaders, the
Kansas City platform was rejected by q
majority of forty votes. In Ohio, a veal

after a sharp fight. What does its cordia

Water for Sheep.

The idea which sheep owners used TO
have that sheep required no water, or
none when in pasture. probably arose IN
Uart from the fact that they will not drink
OF impure or ST lie water unless absolutely
obliged TO do so. 1t is true that the hsb-
its of sheep to ca, early in the morning
when the dew is on the grasses serves in
part to lessen their desire for water later
in the day. but when yarded in the winter
or when IN pasture during the dry devices
nights there are not many animals that are
to be seen at the brook or the trough Of
clean cold water more than the sheep, and
they usually prefer the trough to the brook
possibly because they may have unpleasant
recolections OF the days when they were
washed in it. but more likely because /; is
not as pure in some cases as the water
from the we'll. We have known sheep to
return from pasture On the borders of a
pond to drink heartily al trough or tub
which had water from the well and we
supposed that it was because the latter
was either pure or was cooler than the
pond water But we do know that if
sheep are given pure and fresh water they
will drink many times day, while they
will often pass by tub or trough tina, has

Deep Boringsin United States

The deep well borings of the United
States. made for water. oil, and gas, are
the subject of a statistical report by N.
II. Dartou, in the series of Water Supply
and Irrigation Papers of the United States
Geological Survey. The list of deep wells
is arranged bv States, in alphabetical order,
and appears in two pamphlets known as
Water-Supply Papers Nos. 81 and o. All
wells 400 feet or over 10 depth are Care
fully listed Depth diameter, yield per
m mute, and other Characteristic data are
given, and many instructive details are
noted indicating for what pupose the Dor
ings were originally made, the character
OF the product obtained, and whether the
wells are in use or abandoned. For the
benefit of persons desiring more detailed
information concerning wells in any parti-
cular region, references are given TO the
literature or other sources from which the
data were obtained. The large product Of
natural gas in the East and the West, the
enormous output from the oil fields in Cal
ifornia, Texas, and the East, and the con
siderable and indispensable water supply
furnished by the deep wells on the plains
and in the arid and humid States, make
concise and accessible information of this
nature valuable for economic and sCienti-
fic purposes.

POTATO CULTURE.

Intensive TfIlapr way Ec overdone.
The Use of Bordeunv Cc-,i ,cnded.
The experiments OF several years in
the culture of potatoes bH the Cornell
IN. " station, cooperating with farm
ers in different parts Of the state, were
continued along the same lines last
year and have given additional re-
suits of practical value. These results
emphasize the importance of maintain
ing sufficient supply Of humus In the
soil to conserve moisture. ION soil
well supplied with humus the moisture
may be conserved even through a Sc
we're drought and fair crop of pota
toes produced" The great importance
of thorough tillage has been very clear
~ brought out In these experiments,
but 1t has also been shown that "inten-
siye tillage alone is not sufficient to
produce large yield Of potatoes. In
tensive tillage may be overdone. Dur
ing a drought only so much tillage is
necessary as shall keep the surface
mulch loose and thoroughly dry. The
drier the surface layer of soil the more
from the layers of subsurface soil"
Narrowing potato land before the
plants appear above the ground is con-
sidered wise practice. The use Of
bordeaux mixture in nearly every case
resulted In an increased yield, even
when blight was not prevalent, and
thorough spraying with this material Is
therefore recommended as N
practice Pruning potato vines ne
main stem was not beneficial.
Potato machinery, while not yet =
fected, has reached such a degree Of
perfection that where potatoes are
grown upon any considerable area spe-
ca! potato machinery should be pro-
vided Implements should be purchased
which are found adapted to the local
conditions.
There is no royal road to success
with potatoes. Methods of procedure
which are applicable during one season
must be modified to meet the require
ments of another season. Treatment Of
one soil might be radically wrong when
applied to another soil.
