Months prior TO the war her b.
trothal to Prince Henry Of Bavaria de-

since both the royalties are fervently
Roman Catholic and Luxemburg has
been ravaged by anti-clericalism. Now
what has happened to this romance?
The last that was heard Of Duchess
Marie was a story cabled from Geneva
shortly after the kaiser's birthday. 1t
said that on that day Emperor William
sent one Of his generals to her with an
invitation to visit him and share in the
birthday celebration. According to the
cabled story. Marie Adelaide sent her
kind wishes 10 the kaiser. but refused
to leave her palace.
So strong is the veil Of secrecy that
now enshrouds the royal castle none
knows whether or not the duchess has
carried out the wedding which had
been arranged. Marie has a will Of her
own and may have married despite the
terrors of the war and her voluntary
imprisonment on her royal domain
But. IL so, what has become Of the
Bavarian consort. II, in truth, he is
consort at all? This is equally a part
Of the mystery. Prince Henry, II is
thought. is fighting with one OF the
kaiser's armies. But even that much
is not known.
This situation has inspired all sorts
OF inconceivably fantastic rumors. One
Of these is, that the grand duchess, who
is twenty years old. is to become the
bride OF Prince Joachim. the kaiser's
youngest son.

No one has been able to learn anything
one way or another.
To add to all this. history affords a.

from the grand duchy Of Luxemburg
came Godfrey de Bouillon, leader of
valiant crusaders and founder OF the

Few had more IN the world than they
carried. The sufferings OF long intern

all had acquired a habit of obedience
which was painful to the Swiss. Weary

burden of whimperfng babies.

But nothing could drive back those

stolen between the feet of man to get

burrowed under the old bulls body

a time Kazan realized this, and flung

PEACH CROP Is SAFE, HE SAYS

]. Kelley Wright, lecturer for the
State Board of Agriculture, has re-

Missouri. Thursday Mr.. Wright lee
tured at Urich. Afterwards he ad-
dressed farmers meetings in Greene
County, cooperating with E. A. Cooke
fair, county farm agent, who is a
graduate of the College of Agriculture
of the University.
Mr.. Wright is of the opinion that
the recent storm in the Ozark region
has not damaged the peach crop to
any great extent. In Greene County,
Mr.. Wright says, the crop has suf-
fered little damage, but it may be that
in Arkansas and regions farther south
the crop has been damaged to a great
er extent. More damage has been
done to the corn crop, by the wind
blowing the corn down, than to the
fruit of the section, according to Mr.

high officials that Germany will mod

Safety for neutrals on passenger
vessels is promised. The German Am

A CHANCE FOR LOWER RATES.

Columbia business men now have
the opportunity of learning the why"
OF their fire insurance rates. The in
spector from the Missouri Inspection
Bureau explained many things to
those who were interested enough to
attend the meeting at the Commercial
Club Friday night. According to a
law passed during the last Legislature,
the St Louis bureau has the only legal
right to fix the rates. While the in
spector is here the merchants should
take advantage of their opportunity.
Each one should find out just what
things raise his rate. just what defects
he can remedy to lower his rate
But he should not stop with merely
finding out what is wrong. He should
remedy the defect; he should make

book, made by one Of whom we nave

Then there were the kings cups,
almost as blue as the larkspurs, ana
with hooded flowers. The catalogues
list them as Aconitum, or monks
hood; and the perennial, now rarely
seen, is worthy of perpetuating.
There is no more favorable time for
esta blishing some Of these treasures,

they are to come from seed. the lark

With a background of shrubbery

The double varieties are like great

delight to cluster about the blossoms,
too.
The colors vary In the improved
sorts from clear white and yellow
through the various shades of pink,

The aquilegia or columbine, Is easily

If the hens have the run Of an or

service in protecting the trees from
Injurious insects as they will If con-
fined in yards around the trees. While
the orchard should be utilized, 1t gives
much opportunity to the fowls to work
over a large surface, which may to a
certain extent lessen their vigilance
around the trees. The old maxim is,
Bring your chickens to your tree,
keep them there, and they Will de-
stroy more insects than In any other

A BEAUTY SPOT.

A gentleman from Michigan once
visiting in California, says that in one
town he visited, there was a. deep
ravine running through the town, into
which, seemingly, all the rubbish of
the town was thrown.
A young school teacher devised a
plan by which this might be remedied.
Her pupils were all requested to bring
all the nasturtium seeds they could
get, and when the rainy season COM
menced they went down into the
ravine and all up and down its sides
they planted their nasturtium seeds.
The gentleman said they were in
blossom when he was there and that
it was the prettiest sight he saw in
all California.

WHEN TO CUT ALFALFA.

For all classes of animals except
horses, alfalfa should be cut for hay
when the new shoots or stems begin
to appear at the crown. These are
easily seen just as they come up
among the old stems at about the be-
ginning Of poisoning time. Cut
ting earlier than this Is not desirable
or profitable, since the yield will be
smaller and the hay will be more diff
ficult to cure. 1t should not be al
lowed to get much beyond this stage
for two reasons: G) Although a
somewhat heavier first cutting of hay
can be secured by allowing it to stand
longer than the time recommended,
the hay is neither as palatable, nor as
nutritious. (2) Leaving the first crop
after 1t is at the proper stage to cut
delays and reduces the second crop,
since the new shoots coming from the
crown are cut off with the first crop.
When alfalfa is to be fed to horses.
it may be allowed to grow slightly
longer than when 1t Is to be fed to
cattle, but it should never be left I'M
til the second crop is injured in cut
ting the first crop.-A. c.. Army.

narrowing a small number Of scrawny
pigs.
I I once took large sow to fatten
for one-half the pork. I did not
know she was with pig and fed her
all the cornmeal and wheat middlings
she would eat
Imagine my establishment and vexa-
ton when she had three little
dwarfed pigs--not only smaller than
pigs usually ere when first narrowed.
but emaciated.
Sows for breeding should not be al
lowed to run with the fattening hogs
fed on corn. but kept in a pasture by
themselves and given plentiful
supply of slop, made of equal parts
of wheat shorts, cornmeal and wheat
bran.
Most young sows will breed when
three months old, If allowed to run
with boar, but eight or twelve
months Is as young as it Is judicious
to breed them.
The pigs from large bodied, old
sows will be more in number, and
frequently double the size of pigs
from young sows when farrowed-
and this with the same feed and care
and will frequently weigh SO per
cent more at year old.
Not only this, but it stunts or
dwarfs the growth of such young
things permanently, and they never
attain good size. t
