H.wrHoRx SEEDS AND HEDGES.

hedge.
No method has been discovered by |
which these seeds can be made to vege-
tate with any certainty the first season.
The common practice is, to mix the
berries or seeds with sand, in box or
bed Of earth, In autumn, and let them
remain, exposed to frost and moisture
but not standing water, for an entire
wear. then sow in rows In garden earth,
the same as apple or pear seeds, in fall
or early spring.
But our advice is. to let the seeds and
plants entirely alone; for all experience
with hawthorn hedges In this country
forbids the expectation of any benefit
from further experiments 10 that line.
Borers at the root and blight at the Top,
are sure to cause gaps and failures IN
the hedge, after years of care and wait
ing. The Usage Orange is the only kind
of effective hedge for this country. It's
of quicker growth, and more reliable in
every way, and the cost of starting Is
not one-quarter as great as that OF haw-
thorn.
tsMoNoPoLIEs AND THE PEOPLE"
All who wish to understand the real
basis and aim of the ssFarmers' Move
ment.'' which is spreading so wonder
fully over the West and South, and
..cailsing such. surprise to politicians,
should procure and read the book en-
titled ssMonopolies and the People," by
Hon. D. C. CLOUD Of Iowa, just publish
ed .by ALLEN rBroomhall of. Museatine.
II is Written with candof and fairness,
ahd presents an array of facts and argu-
ments which cannot fail to convince the
masses of the people that the railroad
and ether mofl0polles are at this time
the most injurious and dangerous orga-
nizations in this country, and are not
only defrauding and depressing the peo-
pie, but also endangerlng the very exis-
tence OF our republican Institutions.
with the facts presented in this book
before the mind, no one will be surpris-
ed at the general awakening of the
minds Of the Western farmers and pro-
ducers, and their determination to cast
OF all former party allegiance, and unite
their strength to check, as far as posi-
BILE these giant evils. And readers Of
this book will not wonder when they
learn that Oranges and other forms of
ORGANIzAT1oN are adopted not only In
the West and South, but all over Ohio
and the Eastern States. as fast as the
people become enlightened in regard to
the nature and magnitude of the evils.
The wonder will rather be, that resis-
tence has not sooner been made to the
aggressive movements which these giant
monopolies have made upon the
rights and liberties OF the people, and
the integrity Of our courts and govern
ment.

After spending couple Of days al
Cincinnati, as stated last week, we went
to Indianapolis and visited the Exposi.
ton at that place. 1t is of the same
style as that of Cincinnati, but this be-
ing its first season, and the advantages
of wealth and population so much less.
of course u is somewhat inferior In ex-
-. tent and attractiveness and will not be
sogreat pecuniary success; still it Is g
very large and creditable exhibition.
and must prove exceedingly beneficial
in making known to visitors the resour-
ces and progress of the State and pro.
moting improvements among the peo.
pie.
This Exposition is managed by the In.
diana State Board of Agriculture and 8
committee of citizens of indianapolis
The erection of buildings was not begun
until the past spring, so of course tits
new business to them all, and not a fail
test of what may be done hereafter
The main building is an elegant and
spacious brick structure, 30S feet in
length and $50 in width, two stories o
20 feet each in height, and affordins
100000 feet of exhibition space. Th'
corners are capped with towers and ont
over the main entrance has an observa
tory overlooking the city and wide ex
panse of country. It Is located TIVE
miles from the heart of the city on tn
, grounds of the State Board of Agrieul
ture and is reached by street cars. 1t /
plentifuliy supplied with water for foun
tains, etc., and is brilliantly lighte'
with gas at evening. The Exposition
had besn open a couple of weeks at tn
time of our visit, and was to close tn
following week with the annual exhibl
tion of farm stock, etc., of the Stat
Board of Agriculture, on the ground
adjoining. The attendance was quit
fair, when we were there, though 1t wa
well known that the mass of the peopl
were holding back for the State Fair c
the following week; and we learn fror
the papers that the crowds of visitors {
that time were immense. ~
We have not space to speak Of th
different departments of this Expos
ton, nor Of the numerous other ma
ters that interested US In Indiana W
feel special interest in the experimeI
there because 1t has been stated that tt
citizens of Columbus and our Ohio Sta
Board have some thoughts of attemp
}pU an a1tarnrfsa of the kind If IL
