healthy plants. Too often when the breaking is done it is with a big blow, and then the ground Is narrowed with V-shaped har- row, once or twice This leaves the ground smOOth'on top Some times a disc harrow is used and followed by the V-shaped. This also leaves the ground smooth, &ul apparently in good conditi- ion to plant. However, we must remember that in winter and spring breaking the land is more compact, and in blowing the top Is turned to the bottom. The ground is full of moisture, and ds the top is turned over it breaks in clods, large. and small. When the harrow is run over 1t the sur face may be pulverized, but how about the clods that fell in the bottom of the furrow? They should be pulverized, too. If they are not there will be spaces between for air and water, and that will interfere with the seed coming up'good. Some will come up and do well. others will fall down among the clods or put out roots down there, and make weak plants or not come up at all. The best way is to run a disc over the ground first, and then cross disc it. Then use the blow. and the loose dirt will fill the bottom of the ,furrow. After breaking use the disc again. and if needs he peg tooth harrow. By this means a seed-bed is made. IL will hold moisture, and will give freedom for the roots to move around and feed. Study the root system of what you grow. and re- member that plants feed and drink with the intelligence that nature gives them. Place the plant-food and moisture in their reach, and prepare the soil so they can get about. They will do their part, even better than you can do yours. Prepare your seed-bed so the roots will have free access and will be healthy and vigorous to carry on their work. and you have gone a long ways toward making a good crop.

as a guarantee and that the proceeds
of the loan will be used in settlement

It is believed that the French and
British treasury departments Will md
it possible to acquire sufficient amount
of American securities by exchanging
for them treasury bills or national
bonds on the basis of realizing prices
in New York. or by simply borrowing
them from European holders.
The opinion is held here that Ameri
can financiers would prefer to advance
money on American securities rather
than have the securities sold in the
open market. Sales of American obli-
cations in the United States in this
manner would constitute an obvious
means of paying American bills, and
1t is believed the depreciation on ac-
count of heavy sales would be less than
the losses now incurred in exchange
transa ctions.
Paris banks recently arranged among
themselves to place in New York $780,
100000 in American stocks and bonds,
to be sold for credit account.
U. S. Exports May Drop.
Among bankers of this city the opin-
ion is expressed that unless effective
measures are taken quickly to stabilize
the exchange market. importations
from the United States to Europe must
fall off to such a point that only war
materials will be brought in. The
French will prefer to do without these
importations rather than pay six francs
to the dollar.
The exchange of gold for paper at the
Bank of France from the beginning of
the movement until today amounts to
600. 10000 francs .(s120. 900, ,O00). A great

Distinguished as Patriot.
Gen. Lii Yuen Heng has been dis
tinguished among Chinese officials as a
patriot. When the revolution broke
out in 1911 he took command of a bril-
gade at Wuchang. 1t is understood he
was coerced by revolutionary leaders
into taking part in the rebellion, but
later entered whole -heartedly into the
movement.
Although he was elected vice presi-
dent of the republic after the Manchus
had abdicated he remained in command
of the military forces on the Yang-tse-
rising against Yuan Shi Kai eighteen
months after the establishment of the
republic.
Arrival at Peking a Mystery.
His arrival at Peking in 1914 was
shrouded in mystery. When he reached
the city he was taken to the winter
palace. where Yuan Shi Kai lives. In
this inclosure are many palaces, and
Gen. Lii was given as his residence the
one in which Emperor Koang Hsu was
incarcerated by the empress dowager,
who usurped the throne. The vice
presidents friends asserted he had
been kidnapped
Since that time he never has EMERGED
from the palace grounds, except when
guarded by soldiers. This guard was
said to be for his protection, but it has
been believed in Peking that should he
attempt to leave he would be forcibly
detained. The explanation offered for
this situation has been that the vice
president was not whole-hearted sup
