Complicated Leases.

The lease system in vogue in Indian
Territory is one of the most complex
that the officials have had to handle.
One of the most remarkable leases
yet seen is one which was filed for
record recently, ~ which the grantor
agrees to lease the land for five years
for twenty-five cents per acre for each
year. The grantor further agrees to
put the lessee in possession by a
stated time or forfeit S5 er acre.
Another remarkable provision in this
lease is that the grantor agrees that
if any stone. gravel or slate is found
within ten feet of the surface the en-.
tire rental price on such land will be
forfeited. Three leases on the same
tract of land were filed for record.
One lease is for five years, one for
seven years and one for ninety-nine
years. All three leases are made by
the same parties and all are overlap
ping from date of contract.-Kansas
City Journal.

Moscow and DaIny.

The destruction, of Dalny. however,
is rather different matter from the
destruction of Moscow. The latter act
left the great Napoleon, in the midst
of an enemy's country, far from
home with nothing to relieve the dis
tress of his army Here the condi-
tions are reversed. 1t is the Russians
who are far from home while the
enemy is comparatively near its base
of operations. Its policy is also diff
ferent from that of it's huge antago-
mist. Up to date it has shown no dis
position to burn it's bridges. Making
Dalny useless for its immediate pur-
pose may be temporary obstruction
and embarrassment, but hardly a Sc
rious discouragement. The quick
moving and resourceful Jap il he can
not find way generally makes one.
If docks and piers are denied him he
can wade ashore through the eel
grass almost anywhere along the
coast.-Boston Transcript.

The Feminine Lanauaae.

You may talk to a woman for an
hour or more and understand every
word she says. Meat, bread, money
motor cars, drains, the ace of trumps
there is really no space at my dis,
posal TO give list of the words that
are common to both languages. In
fact, most of the solid, concrete things
of life may be left out of the ques
ton. 1t is wnen we pass beyond the
concrete that the real misunderstood.
ing arises. Take a couple of very
common words used equally by both
sexes. A man will say that So and
So is a mice" girl. should know
what he meant. A woman will reply
that the girl is pretty, agreeable and
all that sort of thing-but that she
is mot quite nice" The two are using
the same word to express different
ideas, and they will never agree as to
whether that girl is nice or otherwise
until they can talk the same language.
Again, in the feminine dictionary
the opposite of nice" is 'horrid." A
man will talk of a mice scoundrel"
and "horrid bore" and can under.
stand him. But when woman tells
me that a man is wealthy and clever
and good looking-"but I'm sure he's
horrid"-she has dropped into her for.
eign language. l can only be sure
ttat she does not mean what mean
when speak of "horrid girl."-Lon-

TREATMENT OF MEADOWS.

The constant moving of the mead.
ows sooner or later causes them to
fail. 1t is seldom that a farmer will
spread the manure on the meadow as
long as his corn land needs it. 1t is
surprising how some meadows have
been capable of providing grass and
hay for many years with the treat
ment received, bus it is safe to say
that the meadow pays as well as any
other land on the farm. 1t depends
upon the kind of soil, however, but
meadows are usually in the valley,
where the land receives the washings
of the uplands, and where moisture is
more plentiful than on other locations.
The meadow deserves treatment pc
culiar to itself. 1t is the result of the
adaptation of grasses to the soil, for
the varieties best suited will crowd
out the others and usurp the land.
which is one of the reasons why the
meadows do not run out" as soon as
special grasses that are seeded down
occasionally.

PROFIT IN LIMA BEANS.

Lima beans are very profitable, if
picked green and sold in the general
market by commission merchants
They are then sold in the hulls
though some shell them. They re
quire considerable labor, as the daily
picking and shelling are items o.,
heavy expense, while the cost of poles
and cultivation add largely to the
outlay. There are "poleless," OF
dwarf, varieties, however. If sold dry
they are failed, the yield being from
Is to 80 bushels per acre, according
to the variety and the fertility of the
soil. They are greatly reduced in
yield should dry weather occur. The
most profit is made by selling them
in the green condition. Under ia,
vorable conditions as much as 5000
per acre can be cleared, but $10O is
above the average for an acre of
green beans. Potash fertilizers are
preferred. A mixture of $50 pounds
of nitrate of soda, 200 pounds acidu.
lated phosphate rock and $50 pounds
sulphate of potash per acre would be
a proper application on many soils.

HINTS ABOUT BEES.

If bees are kept from fruit bios.
SONS, by netting or other artificial
means, the amount Of fruit set is lit
tie or none. 1t not infrequently hap
pens that inclement weather prevents
or hinders the flying of bees during
the period when the flowers are recep-
tive. A fruit tree, half of which was
subjected to a continuous spray of
water during the Towering period,
produced no fruit upon the sprayed
portion, but an abundance upon the
other. A failure due to the above
mentioned cause cannot we'll be pre-.
vented, but may be modified by hav.
ing bees near at hand to utilize the
short favorable periods which do oc,
cur. An insufficient supply of bees
will hinder the setting of fruit. While
other insects may take part in the
carrying of pollen, the fruit raiser
must rely chiefly upon honey bees.
Experience shows that, though bees
may fly two or three miles, hives
should be within half mile of the
orchard or small fruit patch.

TREATMENT OF MARL.

Mari is common fertilizer in some
part on soils that are open or deficient
in potash and lime. When applied to
grass land it shows splendid effects
and it's benefits are lasting because il
is very slow in yielding up its ingre
dients for plant use. Applied to fruit
trees, especially when mixed with
good rich compost, it is one of the
best fertilizers known, and when add
ed to manure, for vegetables, it some.
times leaves the ground in as good
condition as before the crops were
taken off. If no appliances are handy
for so doing the better plan for reduc
ing mari is to mix it with equal parts
of good unfermented manure, half and
half, and keep the mixture saturated
with the liquids. If this is done from
time to time the whole heap will final
ly decompose, and as soon as com
pletely reduced the mass may be
mixed with more mari as an absorb
ent, little plaster being added from
time to time to arrest escaping gases
By treating mari in this way fer.
tilizer can be procured that will be
valuable for all kinds of crops. The
excellence comes from the disintegra,
tion of the mari, which is caused by
the action of the manure, for. while
the mari possesses but little value, az
stated before. for immediate use, it is
OF great value when changed in com
position. No ammonia exists in mari
though such claim has been made in
its favor; potash, phosphates and lime
are it's valuable fertilizing portions
and these mineral substances are rem.
dered more or less soluble when the
mari is composted with manure.

SOME ORCHARD HINTS.

A tough SOD ABOUT young lTcc 10
undoubtedly it's greatest enemy.
If the orchard has not yet been
trimmed, this should, if possible. be
done yet. AS a rule, orchards are not
pruned nearly enough. Where large
limbs are removed, the scar should
always be painted over, to prevent de-
cay entering at that point.
Trimmings should not be piled up
in the orchard to rot and to harbor
insects and mice. Draw all dead wood
from the orchard and burn it.
Now, as the trees start to grow, Is
the best time to insert gratis. The
scions should be entirely dormant,
however.
See to it that the orchard gets its
share of fertilizers.
Remove all nests of caterpillars and
other insects as soon as they can be
seen. Do not permit any one to shoot
or frighten the birds which nest in
the orchard.
If the trees are covered with moss
or lichens, which prevail much in
some places, try spraying with caus-
tic soda, twenty pounds to one hun
dred gallons of water.
If the mark on the trees is rough,
wash or spray with strong soapsuds or
with water containing one pound soft
soap to the gallon of water.
1t is a good plan to whitewash the
trunks of all fruit trees with lime
wash containing some paris green,
sulphur and crude carbolic acid. This
cleans the bark and keeps down in
sects.
If any trees seem to be infested
with scale lice, mark them for spray
ing as soon as possible. Whale oil
soap, two pounds to the gallon of
water, or caustic soda, one-fifth of
pound 20 the gallon of water or the
lime, salt and sulphur mixture will
kill scales.
If the young orchard is to make a
good growth this summer it must be
well cultivated, about like corn or po-
tatoes are managed, to get a good
crop.
Plant a half dozen cherry trees,
few ounce trees, half dozen plum
trees, among which let there be two
Japan and two American varieties. Do
not forget a few grapevine in addi-
tion.
All the small fruits. including
grapes, do their best if the plantations
are frequently renewed. Compare new
paintings of strawberry, raspberry and
blackberry with old paintings.
If any trees have died during the
winter, dig them out. This is easily
done while the top is in the air. 1t is
hard to dig a stump out but easy to
remove a whole tree.
Trees which do not thrive. but mere
" remain alive, had better s- dug
out and us~ z-ses set in their places.

GERMINATIoN or SEEDS.

The first essential for seed genera
lon is warmth. which is also neces-
ary in animal life Some seeds will
terminate in as cold soil as Al de-
grees, but feebly, while others exist
at as high a temperature as ll5 de-
grees, but between 80 and 80 degrees
is best suited for the majority OF the
different varieties of seeds. Moisture
is also necessary, as it is through the
medium of water that the young piant
derives it's food from the soil, and the
availability of the matter in the SOIL
is also an important factor in pushing
forward the plant as soon as it starts
from the seed. In early spring, wnen
the seed corn has been planted. 1t
sometimes fails to germinate, being
destroyed by the cold, but when plant
ed later, even if the earth is still
somewhat cold, it will sprout, but
grow slowly. 1t will not germinate,
however, until it absorbs sufficient
heat for that purpose, and will sim
ply remain in the ground until 1t Is
ready. Corn, however, when planted
in June, comes up in a few days. and
often overtakes that planted earlier,
as it is stronger and more vigorous at
the start.
There are other matters connected
with termination which should not be
overlooked, and among them is the
condition of the soil. To enable the
seeds to absorb heat and moisture the
soil must be very fine. The prepara-
tion at the beginning is more impor-
tant than any subsequent cultivation.
Even the placing of manure will have
its effect, as the decomposition of the
matter also generates more or less
heat. The depth at which the seed Is
covered influences termination. In
cold seasons the covering should be
very shallow, in order to bring the
seed as near the source of heat as
possible, and the same may be said
of damp season. In warm weather
the seeds may go in somewhat deeper,
as they will be partially protected
against drought There is no neces-
sity for the constant hurry noticeable
every spring in order to get crops
planted before the ground Is warm.
It is a loss of time, a waste of seed
and gives no advantages, but the seed
should go in early enough to derive
the benefit of the spring rains.
The hard-shell seeds should all be
soaked before being planted, which
will save time and assist them to
germinate. Seeds that germinate
slowly, such as carrot, parsnip and
parsley, should be sprouted before be-
ing planted, and but very little cover
ing is required for them. Beans and
plants that revel in warm soil should
ever be planted early.

THE JOY OF WORK.

THE JOY OF WORK.
Eet me work and be glad,
Oh, Lord, and ask no more:
With will to turn where the sunbeams
burn
At the sill Of my workshop door.
Aforetime prayed my prayer
For the glory and gain of earth.
But now grown wise and with opened
eyes
have seen what the prayer was
worth.
5ive me my work to do,
And peace of the task well done;
Youth of the spring and it's blossom
ing,
And the light of the moon and sun.
Pleasure of little things
That never pail or end,
And fast in my hold no lesser gold
Than the honest hand Of a friend.
Let nae forget in time
Folly of dreams that 1 had;
Give me nay share of world most
Let me work and be glad.

"You sit STILL" said Trask, taking up
his pencil, ''just as you are. Don't
move or breathe for Is minutes, and
I'll have you this time
The little Quakeress froze to a statue
while Trask worked away as if for his
life. He had shifted his position SO
that he faced the two girls. Lucy Ann
was looking away from him, but it
seemed to me that Miss Jones was
studying him closely every moment
and not for the sake of art.
Somehow she seemed to me then
higher type Of woman. There was an
earnestness in her face that had not
seen before. and it became her. Be-
yond question she was the most beau
tiful creature that / had ever beheld,
and the idea that Trask could pay his
court to her for any other cause than
her own obvious attractions fell away
from my mind. The thing simply
would not permit itself to be thought
Of in her presence.
Trask finished his sketch with en-
thusiasm, and Miss Jones and L were
permitted to see it as he was adding
the last strokes. 1t was a remarkable
study, very pleasing to the eye, but not
portrait. Miss Jones viewed it and
expressed her appreciation in technical
terms. And last of all it was exhibit
ed to Lucy Ann, who seemed to be
startled by this delicious fattery. She
glanced quickly at Trask and her
cheeks flushed
1T doesn't look like me-" she said.
II wish it did,
Trask took the sheet into his hands
and slowly tore it into strips while
Lucy Ann gazed up at him in a way
which, I grieve to say, reminded me
slightly of hungry little dog watching
his master eat up the last scrap of the
dinner
''The thing was total failure" he
said. II don't know W by. 1t seemed
all right while I was doing it, Did you

eyes," said she simply, and my nand
itched for a grip of the fellows collar.
How many have you already?" he
asked. with a laugh
"A few" said Lucy Ann
iii make you better one," said he,
"better than any of them, really good
one. You-just-wait'
He spoke the last words slowly and
shook his finger at her.
II don't want one that looks like me-"
said she. Il want one just like that"
She pointed downward at the white
fragments on the grass. So it pleased
the little girl to be localized by this
particular artist
Then and there made up my mind
to speak privately to Trask and tell
him gently to get out.

Lucy Ann, since she missed her happi-

not see what could do about it, un-
