SWEET CORN AND SNAP
BEANS.

We know OF no other crop that pays
better for labor bestowed than a good
large plat Of sweet corn and snap
beans. Last year we planted nearly
one-haf acre to sweet corn and
beans.
The earliest planting was made as
soon as the ground was warm enough
riety Of sweet corn was planted on a
part Of the first planting. then me-
dunn early variety was planted the
same day. This gave roasting ears
for a longer season than it only one
variety had been planted at this
planting.
Then part of the ground was re-
served for later planting SO that we
had plenty of sweet corn and snap
season until frost. Besides this there
was considerable corn dried for win
ter use and from $40 to $l2 worth OF
sweet corn and beans sold Off Of the
half acre plot.

The stover and bean vines were
worth from fifty cents to one dollar

thing the half acre planted to corn
and beans was worth not less than

GROWING CURRANTS.

Currants should be propagated by
division of the plant Where only a
few bushes are wanted they may be
obtained by separating rooted cones
from the mother plant, but in nurse
ry culture plants are propagated by
cuttings in the fan. They are made
about eight inches long and may be
set out in rows at once or tied up IN
bundles and stored in pit over win
ter. Make the pit in well drained
soil with the but ends up and about
six inches deep with earth. Set out
in the spring as early as the ground
can be worked The rows should be
six feet apart and the plants four
feet distant in the rows. Frequent
shah culture should be given dur
ing the early part Of the season.

OF Princess Victoria Louise, only

of Cumberland. will be proclaimed to-
morrow. according to statement
published by the official news agency

The marriage is expected to result
IN a reconciliation between the royal
houses of Hohenzollern and Cumber-
land.
Today's announcement followed the
emperor's sudden and unexpected de-
parture yesterday evening for Karls-
rune. He was accompanied by the
German empress. the Princess Vic
toria Louise and his fifth son. Prince
Oscar. The Duke of Cumberland and
his SON left Gmuend for Karlsruhe
last night.
The emperor broke an important
engagement in Berlin to make the trip
to Karlsruhe. The fact that he was
accompanied only by members of the
imperial family was promptly inter-
preted as meaning that the tourney
was connected with strictly family
matter.
1t is supposed that the proposed
marriage will solve the question Of the
succession of the throne of Brunswick.

Scenes in suffrage Campaign a
Washington.


Washington. Feb. 11.-No brick
throwing. no breaking of windows and
neads, no abuse of public officials by
the women Of America who want the
ballot: No. indeed! Those tactics
may be necessary to the success of
the suffrage movement In benighted
England. but the determined women
who are in charge Of the movement
here have decided upon an entirely
different course. They're going to
win by argument-good natured ar
gument at that, but earnest.
Just now all the suffrage artillery
is massed at Washington. Suffragists
from every part of the country are
pouring in; they are coming to take
part in the great suffrage parade on
March 3. They are coming early in
the hope that they may convert not
only the people Of Washington, but
the national legislators as well.
Certainly the fair crusaders are
ovcrrunning the capital. open AR
meetings are being held all the time.
and you can't go down the street
without meeting at least one suffra-
gist who wants to argue with you on
the suffrage question.
