Tlm nppn titlio system Is regnuled nn one
of lb best features of the navy, nnd in
thut connection runs thus; "The crews trf
our ships nro geuvially made up of sailors
from every part of the world, but uiontlv
of the Scandinavian mce, good lellnble
men lu time of pence, who care little
under what Itag they sail. They imim
nnd enlist in our navy; softened In
character. It In true, but they are tlm miiiii
ft ee lances an of old. They ship for
money. They have no sentiment for our
dag or nationality, and oeslbly If It came
to action with a ship of their own or a
iielghlKiiing nation thev would haul down
the Ainerlian colors and hoist their own.
This is a uintingeticy against which we
should piov ide, nud we hnve tbe means of
doing so through tlm vast nuiuW'r of
American Ihvis who are I miming the

t)n the ntitiject of toriMMlovn the Admiral
ra)n; 'Tho torn do, no doubt, can l
made a powerful adjunct to othei naval
appliances, Imt an, matters now stand, tlm
torpedo would be ciitnpatatlvely useless,
against heavily armed nhlpn with power
guns, which would hold their own, not
withstanding they might be hatnered
with nets enough to keep out a whole
torjiedo. tlrcat ships with great guns wilt
command the situation and having once
effected an entrance Into the harbor, can,
by aid of electric lights, send party of
divers to the bottom aud cut
tbe wires connecting submerges! mines.
Our country more than any other
stands In ned or torpedo vessels
or from I "l to :!,nl tons displacement
until we can get our navy rairly started.
This class of vessels could tie built much
more rapidly than the cruiser or iron ctait
their batteries to be not larger than six
Inch rifles and fitted with machln and
rapid tiring guns. No matter whether we
briug dynamite shells and torpedo vessels
to perfection or not, our policy lies in
building fast cruiser nnd heavy armor
rlads like the Puritan, Maine aud Texas.
The ar the heavy artillery which in all
battles have decided the contest and will
continue to do so, for the ingenuity of man
will always contrive some plan to protect
th prime factors the great ships from

AUike clover I -a is Itn need in tlm hay

as is aeon on red clover. Tlmn'udnf ulslke
Is often worth nearly an much ns tlm hay,
so It pa) n better to let It get nearly ripe
le-fore cutting.
If there be nny place In your garden
where the soil In poor and in which noth
ing steins to thrive, plant It out thickly
with petunias. Themiwill thrive through
any drought and produce nu endleis sup
ply of beautiful tlowrrn throughout that
season . )
In a small patch of cabbage the la) Ing
of the eggs which produce the enhhuge
worms Is done by only a half n dozen of
the white butterflies, and they should I
captured nud killed, which Is not dlltlcult,
and much better than attempting to dv
sttoy the worms in the cabbage.
I'lnntn sometimes need a varinty of f.
an well an animals. Varinty gives 'them
all that may bo n coded. A plant wilt not j
tin Ivo if given an excess of one kind of
food and stinted In another. Inapplvlug
fertilisers tho object should lie to on ub-
tiiuins that aro lacking, to a certain ex
tent, in the noil.
Now ft the proer time to select the set d
potatoes for next year. They must l,c
inrefully handled and stotedneparatel)
from the crop. Select those that are well
matured, even aud smooth, and partial
I irly those that ere free from all kinds ot
disease, an disease is easily communicated
by seed. Ihe small jiotaUs may In
cooked nnd fed to stock.
It Is U'tter to make your land produce
mote rather than to attempt to cultivate
mors land. Thn larger the area cultivated
the greater the prutortionate excuse
Kven the matter of simply traveling to
tbe distant end ot a larg "farm Itecomts
quite an Item of ripens ta th course of a
yer. Th work should lie concetitieted
on the smallest space that permits of
profit.
The garden plot should now be cleaned
up and all material raked and burnt. A
heavy plow should I used and tbe soil
turned over to that the frost can pene
trate, which will kill cutworm and many
Insects, n well as render the plot more
easily cultivated In the spring. All the
clods and Iubi will be pulverised by th
frost, and If cross-plowed earlv in the
spring It will be an additional advantage.
If the plow cannot be ated stiade It up. A
light application of lime will also be found
benettciaL

The scarcity ot reed lu the fall in often
