GERMANY OUTLAWS STOCK GAMBLING.

The proposal in congress TO abolish
stock gambling would be no innoNa-
i,on in the German empire. Long ago
the German farmer discovered that the
gamblers in the grain pits of Ger
many's seven bourses would sell snort
and depress grain prices at the time OF
year when the farmers had crops to
SELL While letting prices rise again at
about seeding time. When they ap-
peared in their reichstag for law -
abolish speculation in grain futures,
they We're joined by the men Interested
in coal and iron mines and manufac-
turing. with the result that the Ger
man law forbids speculation in grain
futures or on margin in mining or
factory stocks, grain or mill products.
The penalty is Imprisonment.
The German law then went farther
and put all bourses or stock exchanges
under government supervision, With
government committees permanently
established to list stocks and an
nounce the official prices. Tips on the
market were forbidden. penalties OF;
imprisonment provided tor false state
ments as to financial status of COM
pany, and all debts in the course of
gambling in the forbidden class of Sc
curities were outlaMed the same as the
bookmakers' and poker players con-
tracts are outlawed in this country
No restriction is placed upon people
who buy outright and carry away any
stock or security. but a further unique
provision reaches the local merchant
and business man who would take
flyer on the quiet. Every man Who
speculates on the bourse in the legit-
innate securities is required to register
and do his gambling in the open or else
his contract is outlawed.
Imagine the effect upon the patron
age OF bucket shop in the small town
if those who play the market were
required to register in public. The
German law has worked well. and
many of the evils which beset this
country in its grain and stock gam
bling mania are overcome by the more
experienced nations The United
States must come 10 it as one of the
first steps in the reform of its system
OF banking and currency.

Deem and Shallow Plowinq.

As a rule. deep plowing is preferable
to shallow blowing. Deep and shallow
blowing are relative terms. Shallow
blowing in Tennessee would be deep
blowing in the northwest. Shallow
plowing on heavy soils would probably
be deep blowing on sandy soils and
soils that lift easily with the wind
In the Red river valley, deep blowing
has proved the best. This. at least
is the result of experimentation
conducted at Fargo. The experiment
station found that land plowed to the
depth of II TO inches have better
crops of grain than land plowed more
shallow. The same depth of plowing
in many parts OF these states would
be much better than the 3 to inches
to which the lands are more commonly
plowed This conclusion may be con-
trary to the opinion of many. How
ever. it is my opinion and II | am in
error I hold myself open to conviction.
believe that better crops Will be
raised in these states if the average of
blowing is from > to inches instead
of from three to four inches Heavy
lands should get the deeper plowing
especially when plowed in the fall and
light land the shallower blowing The
former should De plowed the deeper to
enable the roots of grain to penetrate
the soil more easily, and the latter
should be plowed shallow to retard
the abundant teaching that follows
the deep blowing Of sandy soils.
When sod land is plowed in the fall
It should be powed more deeply than
when plowed IN the spring. When
thus plowed in the fall. the grass roots
have sufficient time to decay in the
soil to feed the roots of grain crops
sown over them. When plowed deeply
in the spring decay is slower. the
farther the grass roots are buried.
When the roots of the grain commingle
with those of the buried grass. they
hasten their decay and consequently
the plants are better fed than If the
roots had to go deeper for food that
was more difficult to obtain This may
not apply equally to all plants. but. as
a rule. it will hold gocd--Dakota

PLANTING Raspberries.

A common and serious mistake quite
generally made by planters Is in set
ting raepberries and backberries too
close between the rows. often allowing
the rows, with the result that the sec
ond year after planting there is no
room to work among the plants or for
cultivation. They will soon run togeth-
er in a mass of canes and suckers
making it very difficult to pick what
fruit there is and impossible to han
die them satisfactorily thereafter.
These fruits should be set in rows from
six to seven feet apart and from three
to four feet between the plants in the
row. The red varieties of raspberry
multiply commonly by suckers. which
sprout out from the roots of the moth
er plant These new plants formed In
this way are generally the best for
transplaming and they are the ones
most commonly used for this purpose.

THE FORTUNES OF WAR.

The death in London of General
Sir Redvers Butler, of the English
army, recalls not only the memorable
struggle of the mighty power of
Great Britain against the South At
rican Beers, but the sad fate of a
brave and competent soldier, who, de-
serving of better things, fell vic
tim to his own country's unprepared-
ness for war.
Before the war in the Transvaal in
1900, no man stood higher in the
English army than General Butler.
Without the aristocratic connections
of Lord Kelsey and Lord Roberts he
had slowly won his way up from the
grade of subaltern to that of fun
general He served with distinction
in Egypt, India and Africa.
When the war with the BoerS
came on, in the early months of
1900, the English people insisted
upon taking 1t as a small affair. Cen
eral Butler, because of his reputa-
tion, was made commander in chief
but the force put under his command
was, as events proved, totally made
quate.
General Butler made a gallant eff
fort. In true English fashion he
gathered the comparatively small
force of troops at his command to-
