Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, and
the residence of the king, has a population
Of 10000 inhabitants and is a most at
tractive and beautiful city in many respects;
its streets, boulevards, promenades and
parks, its many canals and picturesque
waterways, and its very many public and
private buildings, including the royal palace,
an immense structure, almost covering the
island on which it stands.
There are many old and noted churches.
OF these l will mention, first, the Klara
church. one of the oldest, in a district of the
city called, from the church. Klara; 1t has
the highest tower and is now undergoing
repairs. Second the Riddarholms church,
an old church in which are the monuments

church. Before It stands the statue of

I visited the following principal cities in the
order given: Gutenberg, Sweden; Copen-
hagen, Denmark, and Malmo, Stockholm and
Upsala, Sweden. On my way to Norway,
however, spent considerable time in Copen-
hagen and Stockholm Besides these large
places passed through many small places in
Sweden and came in contact with representa-
uves Of the smaller towns and villages.
Sweden and Denmark are exceedingly in
teresting countries to visit. With the other
Scandinavian countries, they occupy the
most northern part of Europe and are &C
cordingly in marked contrast with the most
southern countries of Europe. The whole
population are hardy, of light complexion,
blue eyes, intelligent industrious, econom-
ical and self-respecting, practically no beg
ging. They are Protestant in religion, al
most wholly Evangelical Lutheran.
They make the best use of their lands for
cultivation, their waters for fishing and
transportation and their other limited means
of livelihood are we'll husbanded in the short
seasons for labor. In morality and Chris
uan integrity the Scandinavian countries
rank higher than other nations in the world.
The great mystery to me about the Scandi-
navian countries is that, with practically one
language, one Protestant church, and noted
as they are for intelligence, morality, indus
try and economy, they are so widely sepa-
rated into small kingdoms at a great disad-
vantage to each and all of them, instead Of
being united as one strong Scandinavian peo-
pie for their highest development and de-
tense. This, however, will doubtless coma
as a natural result Of the greater things In
which they agree. No people come to Amer
lea that are more welcome and appreciated,
as citizens, than the SCandinavians. They
have given the world some of its best men,
Christian teachers, scientists, artists. pa
triOts etc.
Gutenberg has a population OF 1870, 900
Inhabitants and is said to be the largest
commercial city OF Sweden, through which
trade for all parts OF Sweden passes. It Is
a well-planned, well-built and well-adapted

SEED BED FOR THE GARDEN
Preparation of the Soil Determines
What the Success Will Be
with Plants.

With view OF preparing the mos.
suitable seed bed possible for our gar
den, which is too often neglected upon
many farms, we first went over 1t twice
with a sharp disk harrow, the same
day II was plowe1 to a depth of be-
tween six and seven inches.
One days sun was allowed in which
TO dry off the surface of the soil so
that 1t would not pack under the
horses feet. Then a float was run
over 1t several times, and again twice
disked, and again the float until the
surface was level and perfectly fine.
This manner of working has given a
fine loose seed bed the depth of the
plowing, which will retain moisture
better, cause the plant food to be avail
able TO the plants, and will be espe-
cially favorable to strong rapid ger
mination of all garden seeds.
BY this method, says the Prairie
Farmer, the plant requires the least
possible effort upon the part of the
young plants to send out roots and az
ford connection with the soil. With
this preparation we can reasonably ex-
pect cultivation to be more effectively
and quickly done than If the under soil
was full OF large clods.

COST OF paopvol,osA
The Way the Farmer Can Lsaxa
Which Department Il Paying
Him Profit

Before any man engaged in business
his business is paying him a profit
above the cost of production, he mus;
determine what is the cost of produc-
ton. This is always done by mer-
chants and manufacturers, and rarely
done by farmers. Yet there is no class
of business men who need careful &C.
counts more than the farmer II he
wishes to prosper and not merely drift.
For the farmer. who is In reality con-
ducting several businesses at once.
may be losing In one department what
he is making in another. He depends
upon the size of his bank account or
the condition of the family mortgage
to measure his success. One man who
had been keeping his books on the
barn door plan for number OF years
was induced to make accurate account
of every kind of work done on his
farm. He found that his beef cattle,
his hogs and his wheat field were all
losing ventures; that the dairy paid a
fair profit, and that the poultry de-
partment was the most profitable OF
all. Who can deny in the face OF such
a revelation that knowledge is power?
A great many farmers would like to
know what a bushel of corn costs, OF a
gallon of milk, or pound OF live pork.
but they are either too indolent or too
ignorant to get down to business and
find out.
Take first an inventory of all prop
erty; then record cost of articles 3ur-
chased and the price received for every
species of produce sold. II then re-
quires an estimate, based upon market
values, of every item produced upon
the farm. II means proper valuation
being placed upon ones own labor; an
estimate for rent or interest; insur-
ance; depreciation In value OF stock
and merchandise; wear and tear. After
some study Of the matter every man
will evolve a scheme which seems best
suited TO his own needs.
Mr. F. II. Scribner of Rosendale,
Wis, is business farmer, says the
Farmers Voice He has a herd OF 65
beautiful Jerseys, all registered and
many of them prize winners. He has
80 acres of land which at one time
wouldn't grow weeds, but now is near
the top notch of fertility. At our re-
quest he has furnished few figures
which will be of interest, both as to
their absolute value to the farmer and
stockman and also as showing how
careful business methods are rewarded
by satisfactory ledger balance.

Drains in Barnyards.

Drains in barnyards should not be
sub-earth drains unless tie soil of the
rarnyard is of soft, loose texture.
Wherever the barnyard is composed OF
q compacting soil, such as ordinary soil
suitable for tillage purposes, the drain
laid two or three feet under the sur
face will quickly become useless. The
stock soon tramp the ground into such
a hard mass that 1t becomes imper-
vious to water, and the latter cannot
get down to the drain. II drain IN
to be laid under the surface 1t should
be run so close TO the fence or the
buildings that the stock cannot walk
GIN top OF 1t. The rest of the land
should slope In the direction of he
drain. Surface drains. says the Farm
'er's Review, are always adapted to
barnyards, but these also should bs
run near the fences or barns.

ROTATION OF CROPS.
Conditions Which Determine Some
what the Kind and Order in
Which They Come.

AS to my own practice in the rota-
to be governed much by circum-
stances. One of the largest circum-
stances is the chance of getting the
land seeded at every course of rota-
tion. However, we have overcome
those chances by our present system
ent of the Farmers Review. Then we
expect to commence our rotation with
our land seeded in pasture or meadow.
Our pasture or meadow is broken in
early spring with a sod plow that turns
the burrows fiat and smooth, and we
plant to corn. We plant to corn the
second year and after without plowing.
Pulverize or disk thoroughly and plant.
This is on condition that we cut up
the corn, which we always do, and also
that the corn has been/ thoroughly
tended. Then the third/year we SOW
oats after land has been thoroughly
disked and dried with a disk drill.
Then the fourth year our crop is rye,
for the purpose of seeding down, which
we p!ow in early fall and At to the best
of our ability, and SOW one bushel and
a peck with disk drill. Then we SOW
in early March timothy and clover Ia
equal parts, with sometimes varied
preparations. With this plan we have
made seeding much more successful
than seeding with oats. We have
adopted the plan of clipping the
clover and rye stubble about the first
of September, which we think has q
double advantage of mulching the seed
ing and keeping the weeds from going
TO seed We sometimes make the
fourth crop a second crop of oats, and
shove the rye crop along to the fifth
crop. We now our new seeding not
less than two years before pasturing.
We always draw all of our manure
with manure spreader on our mead
ows and pastures. never on plowed
land. We are in dairy and stock dis
trict, where we make much manure,
and there is a variety Of rotations as
varied as the days of the week. A
very large part of the grain raised in
the county Is used for feed, with much
bran purchased from the northwest.
