THE
new YORK WORLD
THRICE-A-WEEK EDITION.
Read Wherever the English Language
is spoken.

The Thr1ce-a-W Week World was a brilliant
success in the beginning and has been
steadily growing ever since. Time is the
test of all things, and has set its seal of APP
proval on the Thrice-a- Week World, which
is widely circulated in every State and Ter
ritory of the Union, and wherever there are
people who can read our mother tongue
This paper for the year 1903, will make
its news service, if possible, more extern
sive than ever. All events of importance,
no matter where they happen, are reported
accurately and promptly.
The subscriber, for only one dollar year
gets three papers every week and more
news and general reading than most great
dailies can furnish at five or six times the
price.
The Thrice-a- Week World is absolutely
fair in its political news. Partisan bias is
never allowed to affect its news columns,
and Democrat and Republican alike can
obtain in its pages truthful accounts of all
the great political campaigns.
In addition to all the news, the Thrice-a-
Week World furnishes the best serial fiction.
elaborate market reports and other features
of interest.
The Thrice-a- Week Worlds regular sub
scription price is only S1.OO per year and
this pays for 1856 papers. We offer this UNI
equaled newspaper and THE SMYRNA TINES
together one year for $1.75. The regular
subscription price of the two papers is $500

The Halberd.

The distinctive weapon of the Swiss
was the halberd, which was their prin-
cipal weapon at MOrgarten and Lau-
pen. 1t is curious to note how the leu
tonic nations, even to this day, prefer
the cut and the Latin nations the point.
We have been told by German officers
that when the German and French cav
airy met in the war of 1870 the Ger
man sword blades always flashed YER
tically over their heads, while the
French darted in and out horizontally
IN a succession of thrusts. Even the
German dead lay in whole ranks with
their swords at arms length. So the
English at Hastings worked havoc
with their battleaxes. The Netherland
mercenaries carried a hewing weapon
ut Bouvines. This Flemings at Courtrai
used their godendags fitted alike both
for cut and thrust, and finally the
Swiss made play with their halberds,
an improvement on the godendag.
The halberds had a point for thrust
ing a hook wherewith to pull men
from the saddle and above all broad,
heavy blade, "most terrific weapons
(valde terribilia), to use the words of
John of Winterthur, "cleaving men
asunder like a wedge and cutting them
into small pieces" One can imagine
how such a blade at the end of an
eight foot shaft must have surprised
galloping young gentlemen who thought
themselves invulnerable in their armor

FisI,ekin Lanterns.

The puffer or swell fish has the power
to distend itself with air into the shape
of globe. Japanese living i'll the ,Ha-
waiian Islands make of the skin of the
big puffer found in Hawaiian waters
an odd and grotesque lantern. When
the skin of the big puffer has been first
removed while it is still soft 1t is stuff
ed out to its full size in globe shape
and so left to dry. The skin is not
much thicker than paper and translu-
cent brown on the upper part and gray
below. The fins are preserved and dried
sticking out from the fish, the tail be-
ing perked up at an angle. A circular
opening is made in the back, through
which the light can be placed and in
which is set horizontally hoop or rim
by which the lantern can be suspended.
Such a lantern made of a big puffer's
skin may be a foot In diameter cross
wise and fifteen inches in length, and
what with the head of the fish appear
ing at one end and the perked up tail
at the other and the fins projecting at
the sides this fish skin lantern makes q
very curious object.-New York Her

PEDIGREE PLANTS.
Real Necessity of Pedigree-So Called
Pedigree Strn w berries.

Pedigree Straw berries.
w. j. GREEN and F. H. BALLOU, Ohio
experiment station.
The word pedigree has come to be
used with reference to plants in
sense which conveys a meaning that is
altogether untruthful. An animal with
a pedigree is one having known an
cestry The parentage on both sides
must be known for one or more gen.
erations. 1t has not been the custom
among plant breeders, however, to keep
a record of the parentage of plants
that is, pcdigrees have not been estab-
lished, except very rarely. A pedigree
in the case of a variety of plants propa-
gated from seeds, as in the case of veg
etables or grains, might have great
value because it is the aim of the grow
err of such plants to secure uniformity
in the product and to develop strain
which will come true from seeds.
Propagation by Division and Seed.
Any variety of plants which is prop
agated by means of cuttings, layers,
runners, CRAFTS or by any method OF
division may have a pedigree, but its
value would not be enhanced thereby.
Plants which are propagated by divi-
sion come just as nearly true-that is,
are not more inclined to vary or sport
with a poor as with good ancestry.
A seeding from Ben Davis would when
propagated by division hold its type
quite as well as one from Grimes
Golden. In the case of varieties of
plants which are prOpagated from seeds
the type is fixed and held by selection,
and the more careful the selection, or,
in other words, the better the pedigree,
tie more firmly the type becomes fixed
al the better the variety. With plants
which are propagated by division selec-
ton has nothing to do with the fixed
ness of the variety Plants of this
class are more firmly fixed by nature
as to type than are those which are
propagated from seeds.

Dairy Interests In New York.

l am sure the dairy interests in New
York are yet in their infancy. More
and more the growing of the rough
coarse, unskillful crops like hay and
grain for market is destined to pass,
and the finer arts of feeding cows and
manufacturing milk products are to be
the foundation of the agricultural pros

The Manure spreader.

The manure spreader affords the very
best method of applying manure. By
using the spreader the farmer can
spread manure quickly, easily and
evenly. The manure will be broken up
fine and humps will be torn to pieces,
thus facilitating the thorough mixing
Of the manure with the soil and an
even growth of subsequent crops.-J

To Secure Plant Pedigree.

To secure variety of strawberry
with a pedigree two varieties must be
crossed when in bloom. This process
may be continued with the progeny in
definitely, and if a record is kept of the
parentage the result is a variety with
a pedigree. The mere selection of
plants of variety, without regard to
both male and female parents, does
not establish a pedigree. A pedigree
variety can only be established by
growing plants from seed, and a seed
ling. with Il pedigree of the class of
plants which are prOpagated by divi-
sion is no better than one without, be-
cause the good qualities of the ances-
tors may or may not be transmitted
There is nothing in a pedigree of plants
of this class which will help to fix and
hold the type as with plants grown
from seed, nor does a pedigree in the
case of such plants insure better per-
