cronberg. Hesss-Nassau. Prussia. Aug l5.--Kine Edward arrived here on special train from Frankfort at s45 a. nn.. today
 Emperor William and Prince and Princess Frederick Charles of Hesse- Nassau. met him at the railroad sta- tion. The emperor assisted the king in alfghting and then they kissed each other on both cheeks.
 The meeting was very cordial The king wore black Prince Albert coat and silk hat. The emperor had on the uniform Of the Posenjaeger regiment. with a steel helmet.
 King Edward was accompanied by Charles Hardings, permanent under secretary of the foreign office; Ma jor-Generai Sir Stanley Clarke, chief equerry and Major Frederick F. G. Ponscnby, eauerry to his majesty.
 Sir Frank Lasceiles. the British arr1- bassador to Germany, and the British consul general. Francis Oppsnheimer. joined the royal party at Frankfort. After introductions had been exchang- ed, the royal party and their follow ing proceeded to Freiderichshof, in au- tomobiies. the emperor. King Edward and Prince and Princess Frederick Charles occupying the fret machine. E The streets WcTe pfu&MSeAy uoCoId~ ted with evergreens, flags and stream CTS. The sovereigns were heartily cheered by the crowds and school chill dran, who were firled up all along the route Many Engiishmen from sur rounding watering places were also present.
 After reaching Friederichshof. the royal party breakfasted and then the emperor and king spent some time to- gether.
 At about eleven o'clock. they with Prince and Princess Frederick Charles. went sightseeing and after luncheon at the Kings wish. a visit was made to Homburg and Roman camp at Seal burg.
 The king on this occasion wore a gray suit It is understood that bis appearance in civilian clothes corres- ponds with the request of the emperor. 4 program of assidnous sightseeing and drives has created the impression among those surrounding their majes- ties that they wish to averd prolonged political discussions
 King Edward and the emperor re- turned to the castle from an excur- sion to Homburg and Sealsburg late this afternoon and had dinner which was followed by a concert. After lun- cheon the emperor and King Edward conversed for an hour on the Castle terrace.

eign office, he is really the man who carries on the foreign affairs of the country and the fact that he is attend ing King Edward leads to the belief here that the discussion between their majesties will be of the widest range, taking in all questions outstanding be- tween the two countries and those likely to come up in the future.
 Germany at present is more directly interested in Persia than any other country and 1t Is believed here that her aim is to secure a port on the Persian gulf as a terminus for the Bagdad Railway.
 "Grear Britain,'' said an official to the Associated Press today. does not oppose the acquisition by Germany of a commercial port on the Persian gulf, foreign ministers. the establishment of a naval or military base on the gulf such as Kiachao in China would be considered a menace to Great Britain.
 It is a very simple matter to settle. Though the concession of the Bagdad Railway Is held by the German bank, 1t has been stated that they have not sufficient capital to complete 1t.
 If they were to apply for foreign capital. the question would be in a position to be taken between the two governments. As to the suggestion that Germany would agree to settle the Egyptian question. giving Great Britain her own way in the Nile valley, Great Britain declines to admit that there Is any Egyptian question, at any rate she could not consent to treat Egypt as an object of common interest with Germany. whose interests are small compared with those of France
 There seems to be nothing further open between the two nations, but 1t Is likely that the monarchs will talk over Russian affairs and undoubtedly they will try to remove the i'll feeling between the two peoples So manifest for the last few years.
 Before it was known that Sir Charles Hardinge was accompanying the King, 1t was felt that his maJesty's visit 10 Emperor William was simply one of Friendship and made with the hope of establishing a better feeling, but the presence of the under secretary makes 1t evident that more important ques- lions will come up at the meeting

IMPROVED RELATIONS.
German Press Hopeful of Results From
 Royal Visit.


 Royal Visit.
 Berlin. Aug. I5.-The press of all secttons treats King Edwards visit to Emperor William from the stand point of being a sign of improved re- iations between him and the emperor and the belief and hope are generally exnressed that the visit will have a beneficial effect on the peoples of both. countries, besides putting their politi- cal relations on a better footing.
 The papers however, avoid al ex- travaaant hop sin this direction, evil denty tying to keep within the safe minimum of practical results. Nobody expects positive political arrange rneTlts, but the Cologne Gazette. which usually reflects the views of the for feign ofice, poets the rulers fully to discuss all political questions com corning Germany and Great Britain, besides the general position of Euro pean politics.
 The Post which also maintains close connection with the foreign off, flee cherishes the glad expectation that much of the ill-feeling and many os inc misunderstanding may be re- moved by frank face to face talk"

Winter Protection For Raspberries

Winter Protection For Raspberries.
Where the location of raspberries is not
very favorable they should be laid down
and covered with earth for winter protec-
tion. If the old canes have not been re-
moved they should be cut out before cover
ing them and the young vines trimmed
back to the proper size. Then thoroughly
cultivate the ground between the rows and
loosen it between the bushes. The Guilt
vation and loosening of the soil between
the bushes will make the laying down very
much easier, and the canes will not break
in laying down, as the GROUND is loose and
the cane has chance to bend down by
pressing into the ground.
The best covering is fresh earth, and in
laying them down commence at the north
end of the row, remove some of the soil
on the north side of the hills with garden
fork, gather the branches together with a
tined fork or take hold with the hands
and press them gently to the north; at the
same time place the foot firmly on the base
of the hill and press hard. IF the ground
is loose and we'll worked the latter may
not be necessary. The top Of each sue
ceeding hill will lie on the base of its pre-
decessor, making continuous covering.
After laying them all down turn the furrow
on each side of the rows, covering as much
as possible, and draw little earth over
any canes that may be left exposed. 1t is
only necessary to use soil enough to cover
the canes. In some very strong grown
varieties it is difficult to bend them to the
ground. Bend these as near to the ground
as possible without breaking the canes and
cover the tips sufficiently with dirt to hold
them down. Snow enough will collect be-
tween them to cover them until March.
IF the snow should disappear in March
cover the canes with straw, which can be
worked in aftefkard as mulch, and in
March there is no danger of mice getting
into the straw and destroying the canes.

Barnyard Notes.

Keep the floor of your cow barns clean !;
sweep them every day.
Milk is better if COWS are allowed to be
MIXED in shed away from their stalls.
In fly time care should be exercised not
to allow the animals to get too nervous over
this troublesome insect.
Insect bites should be cared for or else
sores are apt to come.
Let your cows come into the barn ear
lier these fall days.
Dampness is injurious to good milking
animal; many colds, etc., are the result.
Grooming is recognized by many to be
very beneficial to we'll kept COWS. Moth
ing is more helpful to their condition.
Too much care cannot be given to the
feed at this season. Be sureit is properly
prepared, being selected grains of the best.
Don't expect the best results unless you
use care and judgment in the management
of the cows.
If your water supply is low, look out
for the cows. 1t doesn't pay to give them
impure water.
Too cold water is bad in many cases for
drinking. Brooks where sun shines into
the water are desirable, or troughs that
are more or less sheltered.
Keep the COWS out of drafts.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1906-10-26
Storing Winter Vegetables.

The root crop in the vegetable garden
should be gathered and stored away by
October 20, as after that date it is not safe
to leave vegetables out of doors. Many
cellars are to dry and warm for storing vege-
tables. They dry up and shrivel SO that at
the latter part of winter they are worthless.
To avoid this put the carrots, beets and all
root vegetables in barrels or boxes and cover
with old carpets or blankets, which can be
moistened from time to time to keep the
vegetables fresh. Where roothouse can
be had on farm that is the best place to
keep such vegetables and also apples.
Cabbages should be taken up before
hard freezing; little freezing will not hurt
them, but when the stems are frozen they
are generally more or less ruined. When
packing cabbages break off the outer
leaves, wrap the heads in paper and
set them on shelves or at the bottom of the
cellar so that each head is single. They
will keep we'll this way, even if the cellar
is little dry. This protection is not
needed in roothouse. Never allow de-
cayed cabbage leaves to remain in the Gel
lar, as decaying cabbage or other vegetable
matter is dangerous material to leave in
the cellar under the living room and
should not be permitted under any circum-
stances. Rutabagas . and turnips stand
little more frost than carrots and beets,
and may be gathered last. Rutabagas
generally last all winter, but fiat turnips
will be good for table use only until Christ
mas, and should be disposed of by that time,
either for table use or stock feeding.
Onions should be kept in cold, dry
place over winter, as moisture and warmth
with start them to grow and they will be
worthless for use.
Parsnips and oyster plants may be dug
for the winter like carrots, leaving some in
the ground for spring use.
Parsley can be dug and planted in boxes
or kegs and will keep green all winter for
decorating purposes. A nailkeg may be
used, bored full of holes, and the plants
put into the holes with the crown inside,
and the keg filed with moist soil; hang it
up in room and it will make useful veg
etable for table decoration as well as for
havoring fruits.
