They have so notified Commissioner Macfarland.

In the opinion of Engineer Commissioner Major W. V.Jud8on, U. S. A., Washington's river front "would be a disgrace to a small town," and, remarking recently on the present of the Potomac's banks, the commissioner added that "altogether, the spectacle ' on the river is one which, to a person acquainted with the trim and often elegant quays of the capitals of Europe, can not fail to arouse some measure of surprise."

The Spanish court, 'o which Count Casslnl was accredited as minister, failed, to pay her proper honors as the chief lady of the legation. At the snme time the czarina of Russia treated her with marked neglect. In consequence of these slights tho countess has definitely announced her Intention of going on the stage, and her adopted father.

Frequently the seed is planted on freshly turned sod, and the crop 1b allowed to mature without receiving a single cultivation. Although broom corn will make a fair record, even In the face of unfavorable conditions the yield will be raised several hundred pounds per acre by better cultivation. Liberal tillage brings the soil Into good physical form; It facilitates the storage and conservation of moisture; It admits air to the soil and thus gives encouragement to the life processes which are so essential. Fields to be devoted to the culture of broom corn should be given timely cultivation. The broom corn plant may be grown on the same kind of soil, and It requires about the same early treatment as kaflr corn. Generally speaking, the Boll should he plowed during , the fall and winter months, or very early In the spring. A broken surface will certainly absorb more rain or snow ' than a smooth, hard soil. This plan gives the grower an opportunity to collect practically all of the moisture falling upon the field throughout this period, and In seasons where the precipitation is light, plowing, with proper cultivation, will lessen the amount of moisture. Early plowing also gives the boII time to settle, and after It is worked down In the spring, a much better seed corn be obtained than by plowing late and giving late cultivation. , Some seasons very dry weather prevails during the winter. Under such conditions It may be advisable to pulverize the surface with a smoothing harrow In order to keep the soli from blowing to an excessive degree. Two weeks prior to seeding, the Held should be given a stroke with a disk which harrow, or some Implement will break the upper layer of soil effectively. The seeds of broom corn are rather small and the young plants make a very Blow growth early in the season; hence It is desirable to get s the soil Into tilth .before planting season. After the ground has been broken with the disk harrow, a smoothing harrow will assist in getting the surface Into the proper first-clas- form. i Broom corn, like other plants in tho same group, , makes its most rapid growth In warm weather. The seed should not be placed In the soil until the ground is warm enough to bring and pre about rapid germination sent favorable growing conditions The suggestion has been made that tho seeding period may be extended until the first of June. Owing to the fact that the brush deteriorates rapidly In market value after Jt passes the blooming stage, and since laborers cannot be secured at will in many parts of the country, It has been thought to bo an excellent practce to plant the field at different dates. This Is true more particularly on farms where several acres are to be planted. Six to eight acres make a good-sizefield to, be harvested within a few days. There are two methods of planting which may be followed., viz., surface planting and listing. Either of these methods, if carefully followed, will give good results. In sections where listing la practiced the soil should receive some previous preparation, and the listed rows need not be more than three or four Inches deep. This Is plenty deep enough to secure all the advantages of this system, and there will be little danger of covering the young plants at the time of the first cultivation. The broom corn sed can be planted with an ordinary corn planter which Is provided with kaflr corn plates, or It may be put In with an ordinary grain drill by blocking tho proper number of feed holes, so that the rows may be given the correct and will probably retire from the diplomatic service.
