CHINA MAKING PROGRESS.
Industrial and Comm rcial Growth
of Asia's Greatest Country In
an Assured Thing.

Europeans and Americans who have
lived long in China are quite unani-
nous in the opinion that the greatest
country of Asia, taking account of
area, population and natural resources,
is making steady progress Industrial:
ly and commercially. and the general
belief is that more rapid gains are as
sured for the next few years. Statis-
tics of exports and imports tell the
same story. So does the development
of railways. and telegraph lines. The
worldwide Importance of this progress
is not easily exaggerated. 1t promises
to insure the existence of the Chinese
empire as an immense Independent
state, for it lessons the force of such
pretexts as might have been discovered
or invented for dividing or Selling the
country. It also makes the interna-
tional Importance of China so evident
and so great that no one European
power is likely. to find the way open for
the absorption of SO rich an empire,
while the more progressive the Chi
nese become the less chance there will
be for an agreement between the lead
ing nations of the west as to the terms
OF a possible partitioning of the mid
die kingdom. -. " =.

The prince is the son of the late
duke of Teck and, incidentally, the
brother of the princess of Wales,
who, in ali probability, some day will
be queen of England.
The firm of Gordon, Hill & Co. of
fered his highness $4,000 a year for
his services. Then several other
houses made still higher offers, and
it began to look as if the prince
could get about any salary he
pleased if only he played the differ
emit bidders against each other skill
fully enough. At this point. how
ever, the king stepped In with the
remark that Prince Francis going
on change was out of the question.
His highness' position as the close
relative of one Of the most promi-
nent members of the royal family
would, Edward VII. pointed out, be
a delicate one as matters stand at
present; while, in the event of the
princess of Wales becoming queen,
It would be impossible. So the prince
will not go into the city-which is
rough luck. for he gets no appropri-
alton from the royal TILL and is Q
bit hard up. as his father was be-
fore him. His highness, who is now
80, has had a military career thus
far, being now major of the First
dragons. He was educated at Sand
hurst, and has served in India, Egypt
and ireland. He saw part of the
South African campaign as captain

SIXTEEN YEARS OF CATARRH
Well Known Massachusetts, Woman Cured
by Hyomei.

How to cure catarrh has been a
problem in medicine for many years
that was not solved until the discoy-
cry of Hyomei. This remarkable treat
ment makes it possible for any one to
breathe an air at home which is al
most identical with that of the Adj
rondacks, the Carolinas or other
health resorts where the air is inn
pregnated with healing balsams from
health-giying trees and plants.
Mrs. Elvira L. A. Gibson, who holds
a responsible position in the great dry
goods store of Jordan, Marsh Go,
of Boston, wrote in April: Il had ca
tarrh for twenty years, and the last
ten years (all of which time has been
passed in this great establishment |
suffered fearfully. One half dozen
handkerchiefs per day would be used.

my tongue was badly affected. ! con-
stant4y kept in my mouth cardamon

Der. and in two weeks was entirely
and now, after four months, and no
return of the disease, can say say,
acknowledgement. The head of this
firm, Mr.. Jordan, endorses this state
ment."
FeIdmeyer Brothers have sold hun
dreds of Hyomei outfits, consisting OF
an inhaler, medicine dropper, and
bottle of Hyomei, and with every pur-
chase have given their personal guar
antee to refund the money if Hyomei
did not cure. They will still sell the
treatment on that plan, and every ca
tarrh sufferer ought to take advan-
tage of their fair proposition.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

1t has been demonstrated that alfalfa
can be successfully grown in nearly
all the northern states
Thousands of head of cattle are now
saved from death from blackleg by a
vaccine distributed by the government.
Government inspectors passed upon
59.I5s,649 live animals last year at a
cost of a little more than one cent
each.
The percentage of loss in ocean
transit of live stock in 1902 was: 0.13 for
cattle, 0s9 for sheep, and 0.e5 for
horses, which was considerably less
than for the previous year-a condition
due to the increased exports of cattle
and horses.
The agricultural department is now
developing in the south a system of
"one-man farms" These are small
areas of land in the pine woods, upon
which a system Of farming is being de-
veloped of such a nature as to appeal
directly to the class of farmers who
must necessarily handle such land.

Ten, and half hours is the limit al
lowed by law for a-day's work in fac
tories, women and children, as well as
men, in France. Twelve hours is the

A new method of making alcohol by
synthesis from aeetylene has so
alarmed the society of agriculture of
the north of France that they have de-
manded that high tariff be placed on
the carburets which must be imported
TO make acetylene.
A man arrested for theft at Lyons,
France, was found to be tattooed in the

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Salt n n Fertilizer.

All soils capable Of producing crops
contain all the soda and chlorine that
ordinary plants require, so that salt
cannot be considered true or direct
fertilizer. 1t belongs to the class of
substances which benefit the crops by
the work they do in the soil rather
than by directly supplying plant food.
Several years ago we used to hear n
great deal as to the favorable results
obtained by the use of salt on grass
and grain crops. Nowadays we sell
dom hear of them. One reason for this
is that the potash salts-kainit and mu-
rlate-npw largely used, contain a con-
siderable amount of salt. AS they also
supply potash, they are more econom-
zeal than salt. On very rich land,
where grain crops frequently lodge"
or fall down, salt often prevents this
trouble. giving q shorter and harder
stem, delaying the ripening for time.
1t was first thought the salt set free
| certain minerals in the soil, like silica
and potash, which thus gave a harder
and sitter straw. To some extent this
| is probably true, but the chief effect
of the salt now appears to be the re-
tarding or choking of the nitrification
processes. We know we'll from OBJ
servation the tendency of plants when
grown in very rich soil is to make
very rapid and tender growth. When
we speak of rich soil we refer to one
containing n large quantity of soluble
nitrogen. Salt delays the formation Of
this soluble form of nitrogen, so that
the plant will make a slower but more
uniform and solid growth. Salt also
retards the formation of starch and
thus has bad influence on the flavor
of fruits For this reason it is likely
to make watery potatoes. Some plants,
like asparagus, can utilize far more
salt than others. Salt attracts and alb

To Fight the Borers.

1t is again time to examine every ap-
ple tree to see whether the borers are
working. In fact, if we would not lose
a tree occasionally we must make
good many annual inspections of the
trunks near the ground, and II there
are any traces of brownish sawdust
on the surface of the ground or slight
discolored dark spots in the bark II
means going through the orchard with
knife and wire. There are two borers,
the round headed and fiat headed, but
their habits in the main are similar,
and the eggs of moths are deposited
about the 1st of June. 1t is possibly
not a bad preventive method to hill up
the trees seven or eight inches during
May, when the earth is soft and 1t can
be nodded closely around the trunk.
This will keep the moth from laying
its eggs at the actual juncture of the
trunk with the roots, which is IA
vorite place, whence it is particularly
difficult to dig out the borers. Then,
little later. the hills can be pulled
down.-Guy z. Mitchell.

Corn Whenf.

The much talked of corn wheat by
brid is pronounced a new variety OF
Polish wheat by the department of ag-
ricuIture, which states that it might
prove Of some feeding value to western
farmers, but that it could not be made
a successful crop east of the MISSISSIPPI
nj. The editor was recently shown a
small handful sent as sample from
the state of Washington. 1t resembled
wheat, but was shaped like an oat and
was perhaps one-half larger than an
ordinary oat. The seed is scarce and
high, and we have our doubts as to its
present value.-Midland Farmer.

A point worth remembering in the
draining of land is that If the tiles are
laid in the near vicinity of willow trees
or hedges the fibrous roots of such
trees will seek the tile drain for the
moisture it contains and by filling 1t
with n mass of roots thus render the
