Summer-Set Strawberries,

Strawberry beds may be prepared at
almost any time of year, as new beds
can be set from early spring to early
fall. 1t is we'll to begin the work a
considerable time before the\ plants
nre to be set, that the ground may be
worked and reworked before the plants
ire put in. In month or two the
weed should have been thoroughly
killed and the ground ready to receive
the plants. Many growers put in a
bed in June as soon as the berries are
picked and new plants have begun to
form rapidly. The best method Of
planting at that time is to use a
spade, pushing it deeply into the
ground and working it back and forth.
In the opening thus made spread the
roots in the shape Of a fan, and pack
the soil firmly about them with the
foot. When the bed is set the soil
should be well cultivated throughout
the season. The ground should not be-
allowed to form crust at any time.
The runners should not be permitted
to occupy the space between the rows.
This may. be kept clear of runners
and. of plants as we'll as of weeds by
cultivation.

Strength of FormaIdehyde.

A report from North Dakota shows
that much of the formaldehyde sold in
that state has been under strength and
that the farmers have in the last few
years lost many thousands of dollars
in the way Of paying for what they
did not get. Formalin is supposed to
exist in formaldehyde to the extent
of 40 per cent, the rest being water
When the strength falls below this,
the treatment of the various grains
with it for the prevention of smut is
not effective and the losses from the
continuance of the smut in the fields
are very great. The state experiment
station has taken up the matter and
has made some analyses which showed
that some of the formaldehyde sold
contained only about 26 per cent of
pure formalin. What is true in North
Dakota is doubtless true in other
states and the matter should be looked
into by our other experiment stations.
AS they are recommending the forma-
lin treatment for the prevention of
smut, it is to the interest of the
recommenders to know that the for
malin is in proper abundance to do
the work. If a large amount of the
formaldehyde sold is too weak to be
effective, the farmers will declare that
the professors did not know what
they were talking about when they
recommended the formalin treatment
for the prevention of smut. There is
\another phase of this matter that will
bear looking into in all the states and
that is the giving of short measure by
the druggists. One Dakota druggist
declares that in many instances only
ten ounces of formaldehyde are sold
for pound, but as the liquid is in
bottle the farmers do not find it out
and do not reweigh it. This further
reduces the chance of the treatment
with formaldehyde being effective.

President Receives About $50. GOO

The president receives salary Of
$4,000 year, his house free, and this
includes the heating and lighting. The
grounds are cared for, his conserva-
tory is filled with flowers, and the
gardener who cares for it is paid by
the government. The only servants
whose wages the president is called
upon to pay are his own personal ones.
for. the doormen, messengers, clerks,
and, in fact, every one connected d.
rectly or indirectly with the executive
department are, of course, government
employees. He receives, also, as the
head of the army, fodder for his hors-
es and his stable is the property of
the government. There are other al
lowances and, taken all in all, it is
estimated that the president receives
in various ways between $4,000 and
100000 a year, or it's equivalent.

ENGLISH TIPTOPPERS' Paw.

What the Leading Mon OF All Profes-
sions Earn in England.
It pays to be at the top of things.
Money is always attendant upon repu-
tation, for nowadays the successful
man is we'll rewarded for his ability.
Diplomacy seems to be one of the most
paying professions to follow. '.The
salary of an ambassador" is a we'll
known saying when any one wishes to
indicate that such and such person is
possessed of great wealth. Sir E. J.
Monon, our ambassador at Paris. is
the most highly paid Of all those vigi-
liant gentlemen who guard our inter-
ests abroad. He receives for his SER
vices the princely income of $4,000
year. After him comes Sir H. Rumbold
at Vienna, with $4,000; Sir F. C. Las
celles, at Berlin, with the same yearly
sum, and Sir Charles Stewart Scott.
who draws 1880 from the public
purse to represent us in St. Peters,
burg. All the English diplomats are
we'll paid. Here is list of some of
them, giving the place at which they
reside and the income that comes to
them for it: Washington, 26500;
Rome, $1,000; Turkey, $4,000; Toxic,
$4,000; Egypt, $4,000; Teheran,
G5,000-a list taken at random, which
serves to show the large earnings of
our representatives. The English
church is still a paying profession for
the men at the head of it. The arch
bishop of Canterbury, DR.. Temple, en-
joys, and indeed earns, the nice little
sum of &15,000 year, while his COL
league of York is, like the bishop of
London, paid 10000 for his arduous
and never-ending labors. The earl Of
Mimic, the governor of Canada, heads
the list of governors with $4,000, and
after him comes Sir Alfred Miner of
Cape Town with $4,000. Lord Beau
champ of New South Wales gets e.
900, as also does Gen. Grenfell, who
looks after that island fort, Malta.
Sums of $4,000, $4,000, and $4,000
are common salaries. Consul-generals
are muniflcently paid. Two of them
Viscount Cromer of Cairo and Sir H.
M. Durand of Teheran-each receive
$4,000 year. For being first lord Of
the admiralty Mr.. Goschen draws Ca
500, while Sir Richard Webster, until
the last few days, enjoyed as attorney
general $1,000. Mr.. Chamberlain has.
besides his own large private fortune,
$4,000 as his official salary, while for
commanding the army Lord Wolseley
gets 94,500. The home secretary, Sir
Matthew White Ridley, has e. 5000 in
salary. Despite the large figures given
above, no one, not even the archbishop
himself, can compare in his earnings
with those of a successful barrster.
Of all "tip-top' men, your leading
counsel is the most fortunate. Lord
Russell of Killowen as barrister
made something like 100000 year,

Preparing for Alfalfa.

Preparing for Alfalfa. ~
AS drouth resisting plant alfalfa
is one OF the best, and it sometimes
does exceedingly we'll in a year when
the season is too dry for any other
clover to do we'll. This was shown
in 1902, when alfalfa in Wisconsin,
illinois and other neighboring states
did exceptionally we'll and re-estab-
lished itself in the confidence of the
farming population. The field for the
growing of alfalfa should be carefully
selected, especially in states where
the conditions are not naturally those
chosen by this plant The ground
should be porous and the elevation
should be such that water will not
stand upon it at any time. The land
will be the better suited for the grow.
ing of alfalfa if it slopes so much that
it will be impossible for the water to
stand on it at any time ,of year. Al
falfa likes water, but it likes it at the
end OF its tap root and not around it's
shoulders. Growers of alfalfa say
that water standing on an alfalfa field
only a few hours will often kill the
plants. In this part of the country
the ground for the alfalfa seed should
be very perfectly prepared, as it is
difficult for the seed to get a start.
This is the more important, as the
field, if successful, will not be re-
plowed for long term of years and
the first preparation should therefore
be very perfect. We can hardly hope
to have our alfalfa fields last as long
as do those in South America, under
conditions Of eternal sunshine. Some
OF the alfalfa meadows in Peru are
said to be 200 years old. At least
their existence runs back so far that
the memory of man runneth not to the
contrary"
Selection of the field for alfalfa
growing should be made this summer
and plowed early in the fall to a
depth of about nine inches. In the
spring it should be disked as early as
it is possible to get onto the ground.
Then should begin a series of cultiva-
tons that should last till the soil is
pulverized to a fineness suitable for
the growing of onions At the Wis
consin station it has been found best
to grow a nurse crop with it and three
pecks of barley or one bushel of oats
are sown with the 20 pounds of alfalfa
seed.

SUPPLY OF IRON.
World Consumes About 9O,OOO,O0O Tons
B Year.

A good deal of anxiety has been felt
during the last two years as to the
available supplies Of iron ore and fuel.
The total worlds consumption Of iron
ores in 1899 was probably more than
90,000,O0 tons. OF this quantity the
United States contributed more than
22,000,000. But in all countries alike
exceptional efforts were made to in
crease the output so as to overtake the
greatly stimulated demand. These eff
forts are still being continued, says the
Engineering Magazine. Spain has
been ransacked from one end to the
other, in order to increase the avail
able supplies. France is opening up
new sources Of supply in Greece, North
Africa and elsewhere. The Germans
have sought to acquire almost mon
opoly of the supply Of Swedish lap
land-within the Arctic circle-for a
number Of years to come, and have
concluded arrangements which point
to their belief that iron ores are likely
to become increasingly scarce. This is
a general apprehension, and if it is
justified by the facts. then it seems to
be probable that this condition may
mainly determine future supremacy.
Nine. de Stael once observed that
providence fights on the side of the
biggest battalions" In the war of COM
merce and industry it is conceivable
that Providence may in future seem to
interpose on behalf Of the nation that
has the largest available supplies Of
cheap iron ores.-Chicago Record.

The Camel Raid.

Camels in Somaliland are kept in
great herds sometimes numbering 3d.
900. Such numbers involve wide areas
for grazing and consequent distances
from the few places where water may
be found. The ponies used by the So
mali can also manage without drink for
three or four days and when employed
for herding have, like their masters,
only camels' milk to quench their
thirst. These big herds offer, of course,
a tremendous temptation to the raider,
as many as 10000 camels being taken
at a time, and the excitement of driv-
ing off such a haul at full gallop for
forty or fifty miles, with the exasperat-
ed owner possibly hard in pursuit and
the chances of the raider finding his
own camp has fallen a prey to some
other tribal diversion, appeals irresist-
IDLY to the excitable Somali.

The most curious spire in England is
at Chesterfield, the leaning tower of
Pisa not being more interesting to
sightseerS than the queer kink in re-
spectacle church, which tradition says
was caused by the devil kicking out as
he passed the spire. The devil had just
had his hoofs shod by local black
smith, and his pain was so intense the
edifice was shaken out Of shape. An
other and wittier legend says the spire
was bowling to a lovely and virtuous
bride. Many noted persons have in
years gone visited Rowsley and quaint
Peacock inn and thence Travelled to
Chesterfield to gaze on this freak Of
nature, for natural causes are supposed
TO have bent the spire rather than an
irritable devil whose hoofs were not
shod to please him.

MILITARY STORIES.
A Soldier Who Was Punished and a
BuGIer Who Was Excused.

A Soldier Who Was Punished and a
Bugler Who Was Excused.
From one of the French naval ports
comes an interesting story of an Incl
dent which recently occurred there. A
general holding a high command made
his appearance suddenly at the bar
racks Of an infantry regiment, which,
in obedience to his orders, was prompt
" drawn up in the yard. Then he ex-
planned the reason in a brief address.
He said that as he was walking in
the town attired in multi on the pre-
vious day a man belonging to the
corps, who was the worse for liquor,
accosted him rudely and asked him to
stand him a drink. Let him step out
Of the ranks" he concluded. Immedi-
ately a bugler emerged and. saluting,
said, at is l, mon general"
The incident is characteristic, and
apropos of it we are reminded of such
an adventure which befell a certain
French marshal. A grenadier who was
eXasperated at some injustice that
had been done him pointed his pistol
, at the marshal and. pulled the trigger,
but it did not go off. Without moving
a muscle the veteran cried, -Four days
in the cells for keeping your arms in
a bad state!'
The buglers honesty can scarcely
have failed to be an eXtenuation of his
offense in the eyes of the general.

THE WORD "HUSSAR."
1t Is Hungarian and Originally
Meant a Freebooter.

III Is anu
Meant a Freebooter.
Hussar is a Hungarian word mean
ing originally a freebooter or free lance.
These men, strong, active, hardy. ac-
customed to capture and tame herds Of
wild horses, were brought into mill
tary service by Corvinus, the boy king.
in 1442 and became the finest body of
light cavalry in the world. The sug-
gested derivation from the Magyar
huzst, twenty, and ar, pay lone horse
man raised by twenty families)-is
only a fanciful one. The name spread
into all armies, and hussars of all ma
lions are distinguished by uniforms of
brilliant colors and elaborate orna-
ment. Two characteristics are the dol
man and the busby, with its scarlet
cloth attachment, a survival of the
narrow Magyar bag, which fell over
the left shoulder as protection against
sword cuts.
The word dragon was first used Of a
regiment of mounted infantry, so call
ed from the dragons or short muskets
with which they were armed. The
head of a dragon, wrought on the muz-
zle of the muskets, seemed to spit fire
and at one time was depicted on their
standard

Peculiar Land Tenure Custom.

At Chingford, in Essex, England, an
estate is held by a very strange con-
dition. Whenever it passes into new
hands the owner, with his wife, man.
servant and maidservant, comes on
horseback to the parsonage and pays
his homage by blowing three blasts
upon horn. He carries a hawk upon
his fist and his servant has a grey
hound in the slip, both for the use of
the rector for that day. He receives a
chicken for the hawk, a peck of oats
for his horse and a loaf of bread for
his greyhound. After dinner the own
with his party, withdraws from the
rectory.

TnIismnns In War.

1t was not at all unusual for soldiers
and others who were exposed to dam
ger to wear talismans by way of pro-
lection. A story which gained credence
is told of a soldier in the time of the
Prince of Orange. He was a Spanish
prisoner, and on being condemned to
be shot it was found that he was in
vulnerable. The soldiers stripped him
to see what kind of armor he wore,
but it was discovered that he was not
protected in that way, but an amulet
on which was the figure of a lamb was
found on his person. This was taken
away from him, and the shots took eff
feet
