Lord Bryce Makes

LONDON, Aug, S-The mantle OF the
public orator has fallen ON Visoount
Bryce. former ambassador 70 the United
States
Lord Roseberry. Lord Bryce's successor
In this unofficial position. has, through
illness. been compelled TO decline many
Invitations to speak on public occasions,
and these have been taken up by the
former ambassador TO Washington, to-
gether with many others. Not since the
days OF MT Gladstone has there been
such an indefatigShle veteran az Lord
Bryce. and hardly day passes that he
does not deliver speech, while he always
has book in hand. and much time must
be taken up with his correspondence with
the leaders OF thought In all parts OF the
world
At the Fourth OF July dinner OF the
American society he remarked that he
had lost count OF the number OF times
that he had spoken Of President Wilson
since his return to England, and Il
might be added that his speeches on this
subject are always euolistic. University
lectures are weekly occurrences, while
the Balkan committee. the British
academy. and speeches and addresses on
innumerable and varied questions are
always being demanded and granted; and
then there are the sessions OF the House
of Lords to be attended, With the ex-
ception OF Mr.. Asduith, he must be the
busiest man in England, and although
now 76 years Of age he brings to each
one of the functions he attends'a fresh

each tractor man entered his machine as

judges were appointed to decide on the

contests usually wound up In row: en-

mad and wouldn't speak" TO the other
half. and the man who wanted to know
what machine was best suited TO his needs
hadn't learned much Of anything about
the matter, because each tractor man was
too busy trying to win to pay any atten-

SWISS EMBROIDERY EXPORTS
TO NEW YORK DECREASING

ST. GALL, Switzerland, Aug. S.-The
exports OF Swiss embroidery to the United
States were less last June by about 500. 900
than during June, 1873 This enormous re-
duction is attributed to what are called
inquisitorial methods OF which France is
now complaining. Swiss firms refuse to
show their books TO the American COM
mission which was sent to Switzerland
by the Treasury department In Washing
ton a few months ago. Therefore. it Is
affirmed here that unreasonably high
valuations are placed upon Swiss em-
broideries entering New York.

TIME TO CUT SWEET CLOVER
Much Depends on Whether Crop Is In
First or Second Year-Avoid
Coarse and WoolIy Stems.

The time to cut sweet clover for
hay will depend largely upon whether
the crop is in its first or second year
of growth. Generally speaking, only
one crop can be obtained the first
year, and this should not be cut until
the crown sprouts begin to show.
This cutting may be close, as the plant
will have sufficient time to obtain a
certain amount of growth ere the cold
weather arrives and thus be able to
withstand the winter.
During the second year of growth
two or three crops of hay may be
obtained If the proper precautions are
exercised. The first cutting should be
made just previous to the time that
the plant begins to bloom and should
be done so as to leave a few branches
and leaves on each plant. II cut close
at this time the majority OF the cut
plants will be killed. The second cut
ting should be done in exactly the
same manner as the first, while the
third and last cutting may be made
close to the ground.
1t is somewhat difficult to say lust
when the second and third cuttings
should be made, owing to the varia-
ton in the plant growth, but as a
rale the crop should be cut sufficiently
early in order to avoid coarse and
woody stems.

As between France and Germany
apart from the latter's superior war
footing. the total OF the fully trained
reserves In the Fatherland would be
the most potent factor in q prolonged
struggle and also the Justification for
vigorous initiative despite early
heavy losses. Both Germany and
France have In the last two years in
creased the period OF service from
two to three years. In France this
lengthening OF the term with the col
ors aroused great deal OF opposition.

Immediately back OF these soldiers

recently have finished their full tours
OF active service and of course are
familiar with the latest practices. Now
look at the foregoing figures. Ger

men stronger than that of France. but
upon the tirst call to arms this moder-
ate superiority Immediately jumps to
the greater figure Of IA, 203, giving the
kaiS II an advantage Of nearly 81 per
cent. But this Is only the beginning
of the difference.
Germany's total reserve OF fully
trained reserves-men trained with
peculiar thoroughness--is today quite
100000, while the admittedly less ex-
actingly drilled reserves of France
number but 3.25O.O00 rank and file.
Here, as can plainly be seen, the Fa-
therland leads by 750.O00--two and a
half times the war footing OF France,
while still having in reserve as many

Every farmer, however small his
possessions may be, who lives within
the apple-growing districts OF the
United States, should have an apple
orchard, the product of which should

the United States department OF agri-
culture. Perhaps two-thirds of the

or less adapted to the production of
apples. The apple is prominently
useful in the household economy and

sert fruit, few are It's equal and none

tories for the manufacture OF these
goods have not only created demand
for second and third grade apples,
but also for by-products resulting from

then sealing 1t up tight In bottles or
