king of Portugal and Queen Victoria,
his wife, have suffered most severely
in pocket by the war. and the royal
residence at Twickenham has been
thrown into utter confusion.
The whole of the income of the
queen was derived from German
sources, and of course ceased but that
did not amount to very much, not
more than few hundreds a year But
King Manuel, who had invested very
largely lately in Russian and French
securities, on the advice of his banker
in Paris, has for the moment been de-
pTived of nearly the whole of a con
siderable income, excepting the inter
est on some of his holdings in British
industrial concerns, which have de
clined about 80 per cent in capital
value.

Queen Alexandra Feels Pinch.
Queen Alexandra has also felt the
results of the war severely. Her ma
jesty's extravaganza and carelessness
about her money affairs are matters
that have caused a good deal of talk
in the royal encourage of late.
During the last season Queen Alex
andra entertained in the most elabor-
ate and costly way at Marlborough
house, and as result piled up very
considerable liabilities; to pay these
it became necessary that she should
overdraw her banking account for a
sum of S250,000; while arrangements
were being made for this overdraft
the war broke out. and her majestv's
bankers would not entertain the idea
of the loan.
Hell majesty for some short time
was placed in the most embarrassed
position, for she could not obtain even
any ready money. a fairly plentiful
supply of which is necessary to keep
the establishments at Marlborough
house and Sandringham going, and
there were certain liabilities to trades
people which though there was no
actual legal obligation on the part of
Quene Alexandra to pay at once. pay
ment could not be withheld without
giving rise to unpleasant gossip.

VALUE OF THE COVER CROPS
Object Is to Add !1umus to Soil and
Turn 1t Sack to Farm as Nature
Prepared in Beginning.

Fall sowing of catch or cover crops
in the orchard and on ground that has
had a crop removed by the harvest is
q good plan in many instances. The
object is to add humus to the soil and
turn it back to the farm as nature pre-
pared the soil in the beginning In
many soils the mineral elements re-
main but the humus has been removed
by successive cropping of land.
The average soil of many orchards
show a considerable amount of potash,
phosphate and other necessary ele-
ments; by sowing of leguminous crops
nitrogen is added to the soil and a
large amount of cheap fertility OBJ
tanned.
Where cover crop, SUCH as Grim
son clover, hairy vetch, cowpeas. soy
beans, etc, are sowed on ground after
the last cultivation, and then turned
under in late fall or early spring, not
only is fertility increased, but this
green manure acts as a sponge, makes
soil more porous, and holds water
longer. 1t will tighten stiff clay soils,
which is often desired and makes the
soil darker. hence warmer in the early
spring.
A good plan to follow in the central
West in orchards is to provide clean
cultivation through the spring months
until the middle or latter part of June,
then seed to cowpeas or soy beans,
either broadcast or in drills. In lati'
tudes where crimson clover (annuaD

can be sown. In the spring after the

Where orchard land is subject to
washing of soil, cover crops should be
sown every fall before fall rains come.
In connection with cover crops. a
coating of well rotted manure applied
during winter or early spring, and
turned under with the cover crops. is
a good plan, and the time and money
spent in adding this necessary humus
and fertility to the soil will prove a
profitable investment

London.-All because of the war
which spares neither the high nor the

as result of having been deprived al
together of their incomes and several
of them actually would be in want but
for the fact that King George has
come to their assistance. Meanwhile
not only the king and queen them
selves but several of the other most
exalted members of the royal circle
have been hard hit in a financial way
and at least one of them has been
placed in a nightly embarrassing and
humiliating position.
Prince Christians Income Gone.

example, have had their entire private

prince. however, as the chief ranger
at Windsor, has a salary of $4,000 per

Cumberland Lodge one of the finest
residences at Windsor in the kings
gift, rent free.
1t is absolutely impossible for the
prince to keep up this establishment
on salary of only $4,000 a year,
which would not be sufficient to pay
the servants wages. The prince and
his family before the war had an in

in debt, refused to deliver the usual

King George came to his relatives

Queens Brother in Bad Way.
Prince and Princess Alexander of
Teck, who are VIGOROUSLY among the
most impecunious of royalties in Eng
land, have also lost practically all
their private means through the war
The prince, who is of course, Queen
Mary's brother, received an income of
about four thousand dollars per annum
from interest on mortgages on real
estate in North Germany, and the prin-
cess has about two thousand dollars
per annum from German government
annuities.
Queen Mary has had to come from
time to time to the aid of her brother
but her majesty now has to support
both him and the princess and their
family altogether. The prince was
appointed some little while back gov
ernor general of Canada, but it is I'M
likely that his royal highness will go
to Canada until the war is over.
The prince and princess with their
family are now occupying a few rooms
