A GLIMPSE OF BROWNING.
Air of Boorecolt Dignity aad Fleataat
Ronhomln.
I never saw Robert Browning in his
cwn home but I know well from several
of his worshipers who wero familiar
with his house in Warwick Crescent
and later with the hmjse in De Vero
Gardene that he was sometimes the vic
tim of an almost indiscreet enthusiasm,
says Scribner's. The members of
Urowning societies besieged him; ladies
brought offerings of flowers; moun
tains of cards were heaped upon his
table and he had so much to do in
answering the letters which accumu
lated that he had scarcely time to write
a line for himself. I am glad, after all.
to have met him outside tie circle of
adulation and in a very different sur
rounding, at Xeuilly, in the pretty sub
urb of Paris, where his friend Milsand
lived. As I entered the parlor of Mme.
Tdilsand one day t saw, comfortably
seated near the fireplace, a square,
eolidly built man with white hair and
beard, dressed in rough gray cloth and
wearing an air of bourgeois dignity and
pleasant bonhomie which betrayed
nothing to me at urst sight of the au
thor of the "Ring ana the Book." Whe
we were introduced to each other my
heart leaped and it is useless to add
that my imagination helped me to re
cognize immediately the signs of genius
in the broad forehead and penetrating
eyes under the heavy brows. But what
leally impressed me in Browning's look
and in his talk was kindness simple,
open and buoyant kindness. All tht
chords of sympathy vibrated in his
clrong voice. What touched me mora
than anything was the relation between
the two friends and the deference o!
the greater man toward one whose
moral energy he so much respected.
lucreane of Japanese Commerce.
An Indian journal sas that the fig
ures of foer exports modestly offered by
Japan in 1885, and again ten years
later, speak "with a voice that drowns
all sneers at the output of a people
who wear grass clothing and use paper
handkerchiefs. Her total exports and
imports for 3885 came to 177,300,000.
In 1S9.T they reached $296,000,000. Tho
increase, $218,700,000, is about three
fold in the ten years. The contrast
offered by some of the figures for ex
ports alone is almost dramatic. Tex
tiles rose from $511,900 to $22,177,620;
matting from 35 to $3,461,309. In
ten years the export of cotton um
brellas was multiplied by 410, and the
total value of the "SaLsunia" and Kaga
xascs and other cheap curios went up
from o'er two million to over eleven
million doliars. The secret of Japan's
enormous strides in textiles has been
that the great proportion of the work
is domestic Last year's returns show
over 1,000,000 w ravers, among the peo
ple, a large proportion of whom aro
women, who work at home at what is
their traditionally natural occupation.
The employment of children has
hitherto been winked at, and the little
ones are taken from school to earn two
sen a day at rug and mat making.

A Small Coal Mine.
The smallest coal mine in the world
is in the southern province of New
Zealand, where, according to the re
ports of the inspectors of mines for tho
colony, the Murray creek colliery is
worked by one man, T. Bolitho, a Chi
naman, who owns, manages and works
this small, but to him valuable, coal
mine. There is another small colliery
in the same province worked by one
man with the assistance of a donkey.
The next fimallest colliery is in Eng
land, in the village of Nelson, in Lan
cashire. It is situated near the Col
liers' Arms, and affords employment
for two miners, father and son, who
combine in themselves the positions of
ptoprietors, managers, miners and
haulers of the undertaking. They have
the assistance of a donkey, and all the
output of the mine is sold to the house
holders who live in the village or its
immediate vicinity.

HIS is one of the
iTVkjri' pro'blcms that
-v'.'m-B'r comes up reguiariy
i'.'fi""?Ef' nt thla timi. nf
year, says Wallace's
Fanner. It may he
stated thus: Where
farmers wish to sell
their wheat or oats
in the near future,
is it cheapest and
best to thrash from
the stack or the sheck? There ib
a good deal to be said on both sides,
and, after all. the question Is one that
must be determined by circumstances.
If the grain can be cut In good time,
well shocked, the weather settled, and
the machine and help available when
wanted, we believe it Is best to thrash
direct from the shock. This, however,
occurs only once in a while. The
weather east of the Missouri cannot be
depended upon, neither can thrashing
machines nor help at this season of the
year. Even when help can be obtained
it is higher priced than later. The
farmers by stacking their grain and
letting it go through the sweat can
change work and get through with very
little outside labor. The probability Is
that the wheat will be put in the mar
ket in better condition and bring as
good or better price. Forty years ago
the man who was near the mill had
an early variety of grain, and thrashed
from the shock in nine cases out of
ten got a better market than if he
stacked and thrashed later. The price
of wheat now is not determined by the
local mill, but by the general market,
and this again is determined not by the
supply in the county or state, or even
the United States, but by the markets
of the world. Before any Iowa farmer
can thrash his grain now, grain will
be pouring in from Texas, Kentucky,
Kansas and Missouri: in fact it is be
ginning to come into market already.
Our conclusion, therefore, is that ex
cept in exceptional circumstances it Is
best to stack and begin thrashing as
soon as the grain is in the right con
dition. A'paracuw.

is large the rows should be at least 2
feet apart. Put the plants 12 inches
apart. The roots of the plant must be
spread out equally in all directions.
This is best attained by constructing a
small mound of earth in the center
of the hole, place the plant upon the (
top of the mound and let the roots
extend down the sides. Cover with
earth and firm with the foot. The
crown of the plant should be two
inches under ground. During the grow
ing season cultivate and keep down
all weeds. At end of season cut off
the tops and cover the bed with coarse
manure. Remove the litter in early
spring. Cut the young shoots at the
turf ace of the ground using a strong
bladed knife.
The Creamery a Harden Lifter.
I am aware that the creamery is be
ing discussed on every hand, but per
haps my little mite may not come
amiss, for it is with this as with every
other new enterprise. Nothing can be
accomplished except by "precept upon
precept, line upon line, here a little
and there a little," writes Elenora E.
Reber in Dakota Farmer. Communi
ties that are so fortunate as to possess
a creamery are indeed to be congratu
lated, but it seems to me that it is
farmers' wives and daughters to whom
the most benefit comes. For, verily,
the creamery is a great burden lifter
to them. Our creamery is but one year
old and at present has over 90 patrons,
who furnish from 16,000 to 18.000
pounds of milk daily. This represents
an immense amount of work if cared
for at home, and without the aid of
steam and machinery. And it is upon
the "wimin folks" that this labor de
volves. Taking 16,000 pounds of milk
to ninety patrons gives on an average
177 pounds to each, which in the mere
lifting alone represents a heavy load.
Each 177 pounds must be handled twice,
once in setting it in place for the cream
to rise, and again In skimming, mak
ing a daily weight of 354 pounds. In
one week each woman has lifted 2,784
pounds, or nearly a ton and a quarter.
In a month it amounts to 10,620 pounds
or over five tons and a half. This is
the milk alone, to say nothing of the
churning, working of butter, washing
pails, pans, crocks, etc., which more
than doubles the work. To realize how
much this really amounts to one need
but take their milk to the creamery
one week, and they are sure to think,
as I heard one woman say not lone
since, and she hauls eight and one-half
miles, that she did not see how she
could ever do the work again. And
then the occasional change they have
in themselves hauling the milk when
the men folks are too busy, is a real
benefit to them. Going to town means
a great deal more to one who lives in
the country where neighbors are few
and far between, than many can im
agine. The new faces she sees, and
acquaintances she is sure to make
serve to brighten the dull monotony of
her life. The time thus gained (for
the change makes a difference of sev
iral hours in her favor) can be used
in doing those thousand and one
things every women likes to do Then
Bhe has time. It may be spent In tend
ing a flower garden, doing some piece
t i
jsm
J tLJl -rl-
of fancy work she has Ions wanted ts
do, or perhaps read some book that
there never seemed time to vead. The3
things are all beneficial, for in change
there is rest. South Dakota women,
as a rule, are hard worked, the inevit
able result of settling a new country.
Many of them help with out door work
until they are almost ready to break
down, and if the creamery will lighten
their "burdens and give them a bright
er life, then we say, give us the
creamery! Herald its advantages all
over our fair state until every com
munity can boast of and glory in an
institution that is as truly a "burden
lifter" as it is a "mortgage lifter."

White Clawson 1 24.06
Rudy 5 28.60 17.C5
Valley 8 19.71 10.C6
Average of 2 plats.
The two standard varieties, Velvet
Chaff and Michigan amber, which have
been grown at the Station 14 years, not
only maintain their previous record,
but add to it, as their yield in 1897 are
slightly greater than their average
yields. The other varieties, without
exception, show reduced yields in 1897
as compared with their average yiek's.
The test confirms two conclusions
reached in former experiments: 1.
Most of the new varieties do not prove
valuable, and hence the astonishing
claims of seedsmen that the new vari
eties will greatly increase yields and
profits, are well nigh groundless. 2.
The standard varieties will not "run
out" if proper care is regularly taken
to select plump heavy seed and sow the
same in good ground.
Wintei Oats For three years in suc
cession the Station has attempted to
grow winter Turf Oats. The results
were absolute failures in 1895 and 1897.
The crop of 1S9G yielded 28 and 37
bushels per acre, respectively, on two
plats with a fine showing of chess and
other weeds, while five plats of a stand
ard variety of spring oats, in the same
field and on like soil averaged over 73
bushels to the acre. Whatever seeds
men may say to the contrary, it is cer
tainly unwise to attempt to grow win
ter oats in the north half of the state.

Use or Bisulphide or Carbon.
It Is becoming quite common to use
bisulphide of carbon for the protection
of all grains which are liable to attacks
from weevil in storage. Many seeds
men, too. use it in order to protect
their stock of seeds from the work of
insects, after it has been stored for
sale. It becomes an important ques
tion, therefore, to know what effect, if
any, carbon bisulphide has on the ger
minating powers of the grain, and o
ascertain this the division of botany ot
the department of agriculture has made
a large number of experiments with
thirty-three different varieties of grain
and vegetables, five of cotton, two of
peas, three of Indian corn, two of rice,
two of common garden beans, two of
Kaffir corn, two of barley, two of
wheat and one of oats. The general
conclusion from the experiments was
that there was an appreciable difference
in the vitality of wheat, corn, barley
or rye, between seed that had been
treated and that which was untreated,
when the seed was treated in bulk for
twenty-four hours at the rate of one
pound of the chemical to 100 bushels
of the grain
Generally, the seeds of
cotton, peas, beans, buckwheat, oats
' and the cabbage family and cow peas
will endure very severe treatment with
the fumes of carbon bisulphide without
injury to their germination to any ap
preciable extent. On the other hand
corn, wheat, rye and other crops be
loncinc to the grass family, except
Kaffir corn and oats, should be trcateu
with caution, as serious deterioration
in vitality is likely to result from ex
cessive exposure to the gas.
TrellUlne Toniatot-n.
When we grow tomatoes for market
at ordinary prices we must economize
in cost of production in every way
possible, and trellising the plants
would be out of the question, but when
it comes to the home garden I regu
larly every season trellis at least a few
plants, as they can be made a great
ornamental feature of the grounds,
writes T. Grenier in exchange. A to
mato plant ladened with its glorsy.
high-colored fruit is a pretty object
anyway, and a row of them, well held
up, trimmed and tied, is really " a
sight." One of the easiest ways of
supporting a tomato plant for such ef
fect (and this is my favorite way) is to
simply stake it, and keep it trimmed to
a single stalk. The stake may consist
of a plain bean-pole, seven or eight
feet high, or of a sawed stick, say two

Characteristics are a long central stem
surmounted by an open head of leai es,
and numerous small heads ( inch, or
larger in diameter) arranged, around
the stem in the axils of the leaves.
These small heads are termed
"sprouts." The vegetable originated
in Belgium and has been cultivated ex
tensively around Brussels since the
thirteenth century. Requires the same
treatment as cabbage. Soil must be
rich. Requires considerable moisture.
The small sprouts must grow rapidly
or they will be tough. Sow seed in hot
bed and trasplant. or scatter seed in
hills and thin. Plants must have
plenty of room. Rows should be thir
ty inches apart and the plants not
closer than two feet. Ordinary culture
will suffice. Some authorities advise
that the sprouts should be frosted be

"Why, yes. you might call it a

'What was there to give away?"
"Oh. nothing much only he ha.l
