The MadriuaI.

The word madriGal sounds very
formidable to beginner in music.
More than once have heard the ques-
ton. What is Il madrigal?' Strictly
speaking, a madrigal Is an elaborate
vocal composition in from three to six
parts, generally sung in chorus. The
melody should not be carried through
a single part, but should be dispersed
In phrases through the different voices
in the conversational manner peculiar
to the music of the sixteenth and sew
cnteenth centuries. The true madrigal
has no accompaniment. This form Of
song Is considered English, but Is
thought to have had Its origin in the
Netherlands. The exact derivation Of
the word IS not known. The first
madrigals are believed to have been
morning songs, shepherds lays or
songs in praise of the Virgin.-Circle

For the MuskmeIon Crop.
.N1inninnU In Eurone.

According to immemorlal usage, Eu-
ropean servants are entitled to tips as
an assured part of their income. Al
the hotels the theory is that the land
lord furnishes a guest private room
and the use Of the public rooms, heat
and light, food and dishes, but not
mental service. For convenience he
keeps at hand corps of servants VINO
will respond to the guests summons
but at his expense. In old times tray
elers were attended by their own serv-
ants to wait on them. The modern
custom echoes the ancient. The trav-
eler no longer carries with him a ret
inue Of servants, because he can hife
temporarily those of the landlord. Inc
customary fees are the payment. 10
avoid feeling Is really to cheat the serV-
ants, who need all they can get, heaV-
en- knows. A chambermaid at the pest
hotels receives as wages only about -
month. Tipping servants in America
Is regrettable imitation Of the Euro-
pean custom without its resting on the
reasonable basis Of the foreign instltu'
tlons.-Travel Magazine.

The Primitive Viol;n

IN its primitive form the violin WAS
a direct development of the lyre and
monochord-the strings from the for
mer and the elongated box. with its
sound holes, finger board and movable
bridge, from the latter. The history
OF the violin began with the invention
of the bow some time before the thir.
tenth century, when the voie. or yielle,
used by the troubadours, made its ap-
pearance. This instrument underwent
many changes until the middle of the
sixteenth century, when the true violin
model appeared. The primitive violin
had little or no contour. 1t was not
until the thirteenth century that the
vielle was SCooped out at the waist
The corner blocks We're added in the
fifteenth century and are attributed
to Germany. For nearly a century
the sound holes were shifted all over
the instrument before they were cut
IN their proper place and the bridge
fixed between them.-Circlc Magazine

Harrowino Wheat In Kansas.

Our plan has been to harrow once
or twice in the spring after the wheat
has started well. 1t Is not usually ad-
visable to harrow wheat In the fall,
and it is best not to harrow too early
in the spring. but when tie grain has
made some start and the roots Of the
plants are well established wheat may
be narrowed without injury and often
with much benefit. The narrowing
will not only loosen the soil, producing
the mulch which conserves the soil
moisture and preparing a favorable
surface to receive the rain, but the
narrowing also destroys the young
weeds and gives a cleaner crop Of
wheat than may be secured without
narrowing.
l question whether it is necessary to
continue the narrowing after the wheat
covers the ground we'll unless very
heavy rains firm and puddle the soil,
destroying the mulch Of mellow earth.
Usually this will not occur.-A. NJ. Ten

rimnnino the Peach Tree.

| Just open the branches as far as
possible to make them spread. think
it a mistake to trim out the center, to
slaughter 1t like a carpenter. Some
times your whole crop of buds is dam
aged except on these inside branches;
these being more dormant, you get
your crop there. If you have enough
potash in your soil, you will get just
as good colored fruit on those inside
branches as outside. The tree will get
the weight of the fruit on the branches
and begin to bend, then the sun gets
ut it, and if you have potash and iron
in the soil they have more to do with
colorng the fruit than the direct rays
Of the suns. A. Miller, New Jersey.

Don't Whisk Your Hat.

Never use Whisk broom to clean Il
hat, either stiff or soft, particularly
a soft hat, as it gradually removes the
fine surface originally on the hat. The
worst effect, however. is the wearing
away of the band and binding by such
rough usage. The effect Is more
quickly shown ON the best grades or
bands and binding. A fine hair brush,

A Magnificent Showing From Soil Once
Unproductive.
In describing some of the crops
grown on a 400 acre fruit and truck
farm in Maryland a writer in Nation
al Stockman and Farmer regards it as
one of the best examples of success
full farming that can be found any
where in the country. 1t makes a
magnificent showing. A soil once bar.
rem and unproductive Is veritable
garden. Costly and handsome new
buildings have been erected. About
100 acres are now in Strawberries.
Over 10000 peach trees have reached
the bearing age Large blocks of
pears, plums and dewberries have
been established, and vegetables are
shipped in immense quantities every
year.
Expensive Soil Building.
The soil needed humus as we'll as
plant food, and cash crops We're to be
grown on a poor soil How could it
be done? By bringing manure all the
way from New York and paying 50. -
per ton delivered on the siding in the
center Of the farm. This practice Is
still followed by the owner, and, as
nearly as we can estimate. he will use
during 1907 not less than 1900 tons OF
manure. Cowpeas are also grown ex
tensively for soil Improvement
Growing Strawberry Plants.
The most prominent feature of this
farm is the strawberry plant business.
Eixty-five acres are now well covered
with matted rows ready for spring
sales, and from 100000 to 100000
plants will be lifted from this acreage.
The transplantlng is done in the fall,
setting in rows three and a half feet
apart, spacing twenty to twentyfour
inches In the rows. After planting
eight tons Of manure per acre are dis
tributed over the rows. All hand hoe
ing is done by contract; pay, $50 per
acre for the season.
For the MuskmeIon Crop.
Seventy-fve acres will be planted
this year Of Eden Gem and Melted
Rock Rows five feet apart and plants
In the row. from eighteen to twenty
four inches apart. Before planting the
drills are enriched by the use of twelve
tons Of stable manure per acre and
500 pounds Of fertilizer containing g
per cent ammonia, 8 per cent phoS-
phorlc acid and per cent potash. All
Of the potash used is from sulphate.
The manure IS placed in the burrows
any time 1t IS convenient during the

Because OF tho rains OF the last

have been good and with the rains OF
the last few days little is left to be

Reports from Athena and other
