The kaiser,s Youngest Son.

Berlin. May 15.-The return of Prince
Joachim, Emperor Williams youngest
son. to activ, duty OF the fighting
line is one Of the interesting incidents
OF the war. The prince is N OF
the most popular officers of the Ger
man army and is beloved of the sol
diers in the ranks. Last September
Prince Joachim was severely wound
ed in the fighting in Alsace. having re-
ceived a piece of shrapnel in his thigh
while on the firing line.
On his recovery he was sent to the
eastern battle front, serving under
General Won Hindenburg with the rank
Of lieutenant. Illustrative of the
princes democracy, the following story
is told: One night while serving as
officer of the day of the outpost a cap
tain with dispatches motored into the
lines. Being stopped by the sentry.
he explained his mission and stated

Rule. In Pruning For Wood.

In pruning for wood the following
rules are Usually applicable. Weak
growing varieties may always be prun-
ed generously. strong growing kinds
lightly: varieties which branch freely
need little pruning, those having I'M
branching limbs should be pruned more
severely; rich. deep soils favor growth.
prune trees in such soils lightly: in
shallow, sandy soils trees produce
short shoots, and the wood should be
closely cut.

Use Found For Bear Grass.

Tucumcari, n. NJ, May 1S.-Gather-
ing the spearlike leaves of the wild
bear grass that grows profusely over
a large area of western Texas and
baling the fiber that is obtained there
from is a new industry for this part
of the country. A large plant for pre-
pairing the fiber for market has been
established here.
The product is shipped to Chicago,
where it is manufactured into rope,
cordage, mating and other products.
The available supply Of the raw ma
terial is said to be practically mex
haustible.
Up to the time it was discovered
that the leaves contain a valuable
fiber bear grass was considered worth
less by the ranchmen. 1t is now prov
ing a source of considerable revenue
for the landowners and the men who
are employed in marketing it.

that 1t was not necessary to call the
officer of the guard. The sentry said
his orders were imperative; that the
officer be called. Soon the prince APP
peared and welcomed the dispatch
bearer. Then he insisted that the cap
tain share his quarters. So contract
ed We're his apartments that a couch
prepared for the captain nearly filled
the little outer room and five times
that night the prince had to jump
across the sleeping captains body to
respond to calls for the officer of the
day. Recently Prince Joachim has
been promoted to the rank of colonel
and has been decorated with the iron
cross. He is now in his t%wenty-fifth
year and is a bachelor. In character
and in feature of face Prince Joachim
bears a strong resemblance to his old
est brother, the crown prince.

Fertilizinq Fruit Trees.

In some foreign experiments the use
OF stable manure is advocated when
the tree is first planted and the sub
sequent application of commercial fer
filters from year to year in a series Of
holes distributed around the tree about
on a line with the circumference of the
crown. The depth of the holes is to
be increased as the tree becomes older
and the fertilizer is to be well mixed
With soil or other material to prevent
burning the roots. 1t is desirable to
determine the depth of the feeding
roots for various trees in different soils
in order TO fix the optimum depth Of
the holes.-American Agriculturist.

er places over the state, according to
the entomology department of the col
lege. They have damaged other build
ings at the college in the past. Ander-
son hall, the administration building of
the college, was damaged last spring.
The termites work secretly. having a
strong aversion to light, and 1t Is not
easy to detect their work until too late.
They are normally most at home in
tropical climates, but are found dis
tributed over the United States as far
north as Nebraska.

Prizes In Ninety Day Air Races.

mental prize is among the inducements
proposed by the contest committee OF
the Aero Club of America for the ma.
tional ninety day aeroplane competi-
ton to be held beginning July 4. A
chain Of landing places and starting
places for the flights. where official OBJ
servers can be stationed. has been pre-
pared tentatively by the committee. II
will include three routes from coast to
coast.
The members of the club are en-
deavoring to raise $4,000 or more for
the national contests. The contest is
for the purposes of assisting the war
and navy departments In developing
aviation corps for the national guard
and naval militia. to demonstrate for
the p~ostoffice department the practica.
bility of carrying mail by aeroplane to
hundreds of isolated places to develop
the sports and TO demonstrate the
~practicability of using the aeroplane
for general purposes.
To carry the competition into ever
state the contest committee has out
lined three main transcontinental
routes. The committee believes that
there will be many ~aviators who in fly
ing for the cross country prizes for
500 a day will find themselves on the
way across the continent and then de-
eide to keep on in an effort to gain the
sea to sea prize.

Naval Aviation School at Pensacola.

tNdNo
Washington, May 1.-THE navy de-
partment announced that a new class
of officers and men is to be organized
for instruction in aeronautics at the
naval flying station at Pensacola. 1t
will be composed of ten officers n
twenty enlisted men, eight officers from
the line of the navy and two from the
marine corps, two lieutenant command
ers, two lieutenants. two lieutenants
of Junior grade and two ensigns. They
are to be selected from officers who
have made application and who are
best technically and physically quail
fed for the work. The two marine Of
ficers will be below the rank of major.
Many applications have been received,
and 1t is believed that before the
class Is formed. in June, there will be
many other applications. Each student
aviator must spend six weeks at the
plant of some aeroplane manufacturer,
after which he will be trained at the
Pensacola station. When the officers
and men begin the work of actual fly
ing they will receive an increase OF
from 80 to so per cent in pay. When
the officers receive an air pilots license
they will be entitled to a so per cent
increase in pay.

A TRANSATLANTIC HINT.

Market gardeners who have occasion
to transplant many seedlings of lettuce
or beets to the open field, especially
when irrigation is not available, some
times experience considerable loss
from drying Of the young plants, says
American Agrieulturist. One cause of
this may be assigned to weak plants
with soft leaves and few roots. An
other frequent cause. according to OBJ
servers from the New Jersey station,
is the failure to reduce the leaf surface
before setting in the field.
Almost always when plants are pull
ed from the seed bed many roots are
lost, and to balance up the water sup
ply and demand in the plant parts of
the top should also be removed. In
many cases these tips or even the
whole leaves would dry up anyway,
and the grower may as well keep the
water they would have drawn from the
plant for the use Of stem and new
leaves.

THE DIS0WNED LAMB.
Patience Needed to Make Perverse Eve
Nurse Her Offspring.


The shepherd has his patience most
sorely tried with the eve that stub
bornly refuses to assume the proper
maternal relations toward her on
spring, and the man not well equipped
with Jobs browning virtue is not like
ly to become a successful shepherd.
writes f. p. Snyder in the National
Stockman. Usually IL the eve that re-
fuses to own her lamb Is kept in u
small pen with her lamb and made to
stand and let 1t suck she will after a
few days OWE it all right.
/ have sometimes induced the eve to
stand by the use of a sharp switch on
her nose. After a few days shaking
the switch at her was sufficient, and
finally my appearance would make her
tolerate the lamb. and all the time the
lamb was growing bigger and stronger
till he could help himself in spite of
her. 1t is well to keep them confined
given up, and after they are turned out
with the flock il is well to watch her,
for she may have a lapse of maternal
affection.
In aggravated cases | have some
times had TO keep a W confined for
two weeks before she would give up.
/ once had n tied out on the grass
for three weeks before she gave up. If
the eve has plenty of milk one can al
most invariably succeed. and 1t is won
derful what a display of motherly af-
lection they can give when they once
make up their minds to. The most
hopeless case is where a eve refuses
TO own one of a pair of twins.

The quality of your spring crop Of
pigs will be determined by the kind Of
care you are now giving your brood
sows. Don't keep them on dry feed.
They need mighty little corn. but lots
of roughage. Alfalfa or even clover
hay will be relished. Mangels or 9TH
err roots could not have a better use.
With this kind of feed the sows will
have plenty of milk and they will not
eat their pigs.

INVESTIGATION OF CROPS.

Diversification of crops mas
been agitated so much in the
south that its importance In
northern states has been over
looked. Farm surveys show,
however. that the farms In the
north yielding the highest net
profit are those that have a va
riety of sources of cash income
In a profitable section of centrai
New York we find that most
farmers produce hay. potatoes,
cabbage. beans, fruit and some
live stock for sale. This win
ter potatoes, fruit and cabbage
have all been low In price, but
because of their variety of prod
ucts these farmers have been in
sured against total failure. The
coming year n two is certain TO
be a period of fiuctuating prices.
Everything points at present to
high prices for such staples as
wheat. pork and beef, but there
is no assurance that there will be
any substantial Improvement In
the prices of potatoes, vegetables
or fruit. Therefore 1t will be
only an expression of foresight
edness for the farmer to throw
out a little anchor to windward
in the form of a few acres of a
staple that has a good local de-
mand.
Specialties are a good thing In
the long run. and the fellow who
has two or three is going to be
the one who will bridge the pc
RODS of price depression.-Coun-
try Gentleman.
