would be well to use either lime or plaster in adj
dition to the fertilizer given above. If the land
is sufficiently fertile to produce large growth of
peanut tops vines, the cottonseed meal may be
omitted from the formula entirely. The meal
contains, mainly, nitrogen, which produces vines,
and if the land already produces good medium
growth of vines the meal may bring about one
sided growth by the production of vines at the

THIS WEEKS PAPER-SOME RANDOM
COMMENTS.

The Progressive Farmer Family are folks worth
being proud divide awake, well informed, eager
for improvements. This is illustrated by the large
number of inquiries sent advertisers and cor
respondents. An advertiser wrote us last week
that we had more answers to his ad. than he knew
what to do with Our Poultry Editor writes that
his better, seven-eighths is much dismayed by his
having to sit up at night to answer letters from
men and maidens who want poultry information
And Secretary Parker's alfalfa articles have
brought food of inquiries in regard to this i'm
portant crop Some of these he answers in this
number.
Entomologist Sherman gives us most valuable
spraying article this week. We hope that the i'm
portance of spraying has been so effectively drill
ed into our readers by the many articles we have
printed that they only need to decide now on the
kind of apparatus needed and go to work. When
writing any manufacturer named by Mr.. Sher-
man, please mention The Progressive Farmer.
Nobody interested in cheap pork production
should overlook Mr. Bachelors letter on chufas.
1t is model article-brief, simple, explicit prac-
tical. If more of our plain farmers understood
that this is what we want-not fine writing nor
eloquent language-our paper would be better
Our Corn and Poultry Talks are both good this
week; but the Corn Growing Talk is especially
valuable Every farmer ought to study what is
said to shape of ears and kernels.
Ordinarily we do not care to print such long
article as that page 6, Japan and the jap
anese;" but when the subject is of such absorb
ing interest this the longer the article the bet
ter it is.
And if anybody thinks that the farmers wives,
sons, and daughters can't equal their city-bred
contemporaries in writing thoughtful and inspir
ing miscellaneous articles just let him look at
Our Social Chat. When we said moment ago
that The Progressive Farmer Family is worth be-
ing proud of, we meant all the women and young
people as well the farmers themselves They
prove it in the Chat.
There are a goodly number of teachers in the
Family, too; and they will find this week the
first of wellwritten series of articles on Thomas
Jefferson and Mature Study Suggestions for
Late March" by DIR. Stevens. The progress the
Nature Study idea is making is good to see.
Everybody living on R. F. D. mail route
ought to adopt the "Good Idea" mentioned on
page II. 1t is worth while.

Emerson on Walking.

Few men know how to take walk. The quail
fcations of professor endurance, plain
clothes, old shoes, eye for nature, good humor,
vast curiosity, good sneech, good silence, and
nothing too much. IF man tells me that he has
an intense love of nature, know, of course, that
he has none. Good observers have the manners
of trees and animals, their patient good sense,
and if they add words It is only when words are
better than silence. But loud singer, or story
teller, or a vain talker profanes the river and the
forest, and is nothing like so good company as
a dog.
When Nero advertised for a new luxury, walk
in the woods should have been offered. IT'S one
of the secrets for lodging old age; for Nature
makes like impression age on youth.
Then I recommend it to people who growing
old against their will. A man in that predica-
ment, if he stands before mirror, among
young people, is made quite too sensible of the
fact; but the forest awakes in his mind the same
feeling it did when he boy, and he may draw
moral from the fact that It is the old trees that
have all the beauty and grandeur. [ admire the
taste which makes the to a house, were
the house never so small, through a wood; besides
the beauty, it has positive effect manners,
as it disposes the mind of the inhabitant and of
his guests to the Difference due to each. Some
English reformer thought the cattle made all this
wide space necessary between house and house,
and that, if there COWS to pasture, less
land would suffice But does not need so
much land as the owners eyes require between
him and his neighbor.-Ralph Waldo Emerson.

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.

In the gingham mill broken thread or
shred spoils the web through piece of hundred
yards and is traced back to the girl that wove it
and lessons her wages The stockholder on being
shown this rubs his hands with delight. Are you
cunning, Mr. Proftloss and do you expect to
swindle your Master and Employer in the web
you weave? A day is a more significant cloth
infinitely cunninger; and you shall not conceal
the sleezy, fraudulent, rotten hours you have
slipped into the piece, fear that any honest
thread or straighter steel or more inexible shaft
will not testify in the web.-From Emerson's
Essay on "Power"
The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1905-03-21

When a Christian is at peace with any sin in
his own life, when he is reconciled to any evil
habit, or becomes Indifferent to anything in his
own character which renders him unlike Christ,
he is disloyal to his Master In like manner, when
a citizen of the Kingdom of God is at peace with
any sin of society, becomes reconciled to any
evil habits of the community or Indifferent to any
thing that is inconsistent with the full coming
of Gods Kingdom on earth, he is disloyal to the
kingdom.-Jo Josiah Strong, d. d.

FERTILIZER FOR PEANUTS.

In reply to this inquiry, / would suggest that
the corn stalks be cut up with disk harrow. It
is best not to burn corn stalks any other vege-
table matter, as it helps to improve the soil and
make it more productive. The land for peanuts
may be prepared as for cotton. The following

The Coming Empress of Germany

The London World, a paper that
poses as a sort of censor for the mat
rimonial affairs of the ruling families
of the great dynasties of Europe, is
terribly shocked and displeased with
the announcement that the crown
prince of Germany is TO marry Princess
Cecilia of Mecklenburg 1t objects be-
cause Cecelia's mother is gay widow
of AZ, and a real, rollicking. happy-go-
lucky Bohemian, who cares so little for
court prOprieties that she has really
dared to snub the kaiser. Then Cece-
las blood does not suit the London
censor. 1t declares she is only one
remove from a peasant and her chill
dren may be more like peasants than
she and her mother are
According to the snobbish World,
the crown princes bride is to be an
other nobody. like the present empress.
How could the kaiser have done it
after his own experience, too? Is the
German court never to have a kaiserin
who is fitted for her position? Such
are the questions, says the World, that
German court ladies are asking.
The Worlds peasant point against
Cecilia will not stick. On the contra
~, the fact that her grandmother was
a peasant should serve as a recommen-
dalton for her. She will probably COM
pare very favorably as to character,
intelligence and true worth with any
of the royal thoroughbreds. On the
other hand. the experiences of Austria
and Saxony with women who are of
the imperial blood. and also rather
hoity-toity as to their manners, does
not encourage the German kaiser to
seek the very Hottest alliances for his
sons.
Commenting on this subject. the
Rockford Star remarks: 1.-The kaiser
apparently believes in the Cinderella
idea. His empress has been highly do
nestle in her tastes, and has helped to
people the world with HohenZOllerns
II she has not made her boudoir the
center of social and political power,
neither has she made it a seat of in
trigue and scandal No royal person
age in Europe is more highly esteemed
and respected by both royalty and peas
antry.
n SuaiH Vi stuIuS, vigorous peasant
blood will not hurt any of the royal or
imperial families. AS a matter of fact
u has saved several of them from ex-
tinction or race suicide" 1t has re-
newed the strength of more than one
great house. Many of them have been
benefited wonderfully by alliances with
the family of King Christian of Den
mark and he was far from being a
thoroughbred blueblood."
