PEOPLE OF THE DAY
Th« New King of Portugal-
With the accession of King Manuel
11. to the throne of Portugal,' the
•youngest reigning monarch of them
all took his place among the crowned
heads of Europe. The new king was
the second son of the murdered Carlos
and heir to the throne through the as
sassination of his elder and only broth
er, Crown Trince I-utz.
The youthful king was born in Lis
bon on Nov. 15, 1889, and is therefore
but a few months past his eighteenth
KINO MANTEL 11.
birthday. Before the tragedy that
placed h ' m 0,1 'he throne he wus
known as the Duke of Beja. lie was
educated by tutors until he was four
teen, when he entered the Portuguese
navy as n midshipman. He won many
friends in the service, in which he at
tained the rank of lieutenant.
King Manuel Is said to lie well liked
by the people, and Jhe revulsion caused
by the murder of his father and broth
er has aroused popular' sympathy.
Things, however, have been in a bad
way in Portugal for many years. The
government has been honeycombed l»y
corruption, and the nation is practical
ly bankrupt. The new. king has u big
task ahead of him In the rehabilitation
of hU unhappy kingdom.
Timber A-plenty In Illinois.
Governor Hoke Smith of Georgia
dropped in to see T.'ncle Joe Cannon at
the capUol the other day to try to urge
him to l»e friendly to the forest re
serve bill. He described the inroads
the lumbermen are making in the for
ests and said th> bill of Representative
Currier for the preservation of the
White mountains and the southern Ap
palachians should be permitted to pass.
The speaker was not inclined to be
enthusiastic. He couldn't see that the
forests were disappearing so rapidly
as be bad been told. . j
"Why," said lie, banging the table
with his fist, "there is more timber out
in Illinois today than there was thirty
years ago." ' ' ,
"Yes," replied the Georgian execu
tive, "but'you refer to presidential tim
ber,'' And the speaker blushed.—Bos

The Grand American Handicap thoot-
Soihe idea of the Interest which has
grown of late years In trap shooting
may l>e gathered from the number of
applications for hotel reservations
which have, already been received by
Secretary Fred Shattuck of the Co
lumbus (O.) Gun clnb from mnrksmen
who desire to participate in the grand
American handicap shoot which is to
lie held under the allspices of that club
next June. It Is said that there will
lie at least 500 entries for this shoot
and that it will undoubtedly l>e the
largest affair of its kind ever held in
this country. This is the greatest of
all annual trap shooting events held
In America and was first held at Dex
ter Park, N. Y., April I to 7, 1M9.'1.
From that date It yearly grew in the
east an event of importance and
gradually spread westward, until it
was held In Kansas City In 190*2,' when
there were 450 entrants. After an ex
istence of only three years the Colum
bus Gun clnb was honored with the
award of the shoot by the interstate

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Johnson Grass In the South.
Johnson grass Is by far the most pop
ular grass for hay with feeders
throughout this and adjoining states,
writes c£dwln Montgomery of Missis
sippi. There is always a ready market
for tho hay at good prices. It will sell
where Bermuda Will not. It will sell
where even alfalfa will not. Johnson
grass hay is well known. Alfalfa is
not. It has taken long years to Intro
duce and build up a reputation fpr
Johnson grnss hay.
For a -l«n»g time handlers of hny In
our cities and their patrons were Igno
rant of the value of this grass ns a hay
and were prejudiced against it. Horse
men would buy nothing but northern
timothy. Not so now. The day was,
and not very long ago, when
preferred the coarse, wiry prairie grass
of the west to any distinctive southern
hay grass.- Of course that was Igno
rance, and gross ignorance. They had
to l>o educated out of their ignorance
and prejudices.
The Ewe Flock. - v
Cleanliness Ih a great factor In tfrt
sheep business and nowliero more than
with the ewe flock. Clean drinking
water and clean yards are absolutely
essential. Given dirty, filthy drinking
water and you have a ewe thin and
out of condition and her offspring will
foe likewise, if she has any.. As to tin
yard where the feed is placed, it must
Is; clean. In cold dry weather this
no trick, but In those warm, wet, mud
dv soells which we have in sqme ell
rfiaffcs plenty of* BedJlHg In the shape
of straw or cornstalk* Is necessary.
The penalty for muddy yards Is sore
feet, and when you hav# once battled
with them you may be more careful
•bout budding that yard. American

As a rule, strawberry plants do not
winter kill If not covered, but they are
more likely to spring kill, owing to late
J frosts. The purpose of the covering,
which should be applied after the
ground is well frozen. Is to retnrd the
spring growth so that the vines will
®ot be far enough advanced for the
buds to foe Injured by probably late
frosts, this precaution being necessary
becanso the strawberry Is nn early
riser In spring.
The covering also modifies the alter
nate freezing and thawing in the early
■prftig, which are often very damaging.
As soon as that kind of weather ceases
the covering should Ik> removed.
