produce quick step at an carly
age, while we retain in some meas.
urc the long, Hambletonian stride.
Early maturity is an advantage to
the breeders, while it is no disad-
vantage to the buyer, provided it
does not prevent the attainment of
the highest rate of speed. This is
an illustration of the simplest pro-
cess that occupies the mind of the
breeder as he sits upon the fence
whiting single and looking at
his colts. 1t has been noticed that
Kirkwood heightened his stride. A
Logan colt one year older than Ba-
shaw, Jr., and Kirkwood was in
training in Muscatine at the same
time with them. He was long
stridcr, with gait, rs they say in
Orange county, Gas loose as 4 string
of suckers" His lungs were of
good capacity, but he lacked
strength, showed fatigue at a half
mile drive at slow gait, and was
driven beyond his capacity every
year for several years. At length
he disappeared. Now, when Ba-
shaw, Jr., has disappeared and
Kirkwood's reputation is waning,
this son of Logan and grand son of
Rysdyk's Hambletonian, suddenly
appears as an improving horse,
winning in 1928. He is now eleven
years old. 1t will be recollected
i that Goldsmith Maid was ten before
she reached $50, was distanced the
same season by Crazy Jane in 2:57.
Buyers are learning that the long,
oose-jointed Hambletonian colts
are more likely to come down to
the "teens" than the quick, short
steppers, so full of early promise.
And it is better economy to buy the
colt that will reach maturity at ten,
and be then worth thousands than
the colt that natures at five, which
at ten years old will only be worth
hundreds.

PLANT OFrEN-One Of the best
rules the farmer or gardener can
follow to insure success in getting
Il good stand of tender crops is too
plant often. Take for example mel
ons, squashes, cucumbers, and such
other products as may be desirable
to start early, and which often fail
when planted early, and apply the
rule at the head of this article, and
success is certain. Fit your ground
early; make broad, rich, flat hills,
slightly browning to insure dryness
and gain warmth. Then plant ear
~. in tie season, and one week later
put down few more seeds i'll the
hills with the thumb and fingers; II
week later repeat the planting, and
if the season be particularly cold
and back ward, and the first plant
ings do not appear, Il fourth may
be necessary. BY this method sue
cess is rendered certain; but little
time is lost, for the later paintings
will grow 50 fast rs TO oycrlake the
first. At the proper time thinning
must be done, anl the crop is hand
aomcly started on its jurney.-R"'

summer Pruning foc Currants.

Economy in time and favorable
results are strong points IN favor Of
summer pruning Of the currant. For
the past three or four years we have
watched closely experiments, insti-
tuted on a large scale, to test this
method, and each succeeding exrc-
rience is more convincing than the
previous one that summer is the
best time for doing the principal
pruning of the currant. a healthy
currant plant comes into leaf and
starts q growth of wood early in
April. 1t is fast grower, SO that
by the LIST Of August the young wood
is fully maturcd, and may, if want
ed, be cut off from the parent plant,
set in the ground, and it will in a
few weeks make roots that before
cold weather will be well establish
cd. Upon bearing, as well as young
bushes, the new growth is three
times as much as should be allowed
to remain. With the old method,
this surplus wood is left to mature,
and at the annual pruning, late in
winter, this unnecessary quantity Is
cut out and thrown away, for it sell
dom happens that those who grow
currants lor home use or market
can make use Of the currant cuttings.
The most tedious part of the labor
of raising curran,s is this annual
pruning, which is not only tircsome,
but also expensive. When summer
pruning is practiccd, at least three
quarters Of this labor and loss of
time is saved
During the first or second week in
June boy goes over the bushes,
pulling off such shoots as are not
needed on the bearing bush, and
with the thumb and finger pinching
off the ends of the shoots that are
left to mature. And one who has
not tried this method can form no
conception how rapidly a smart lad
will finish bed of currants. The
thinning out and shortening in
creases the size and vigor of the
bush in very striking manner
Try two rows, pruning one and let
ting the other run wild. In two
years the difference in favor of the
former will be. SO marked that Il
stranger would scarcely believe
that the rows were planted at the
same time, and cultivated and ma
nured alike. The size Of the bunch
es and berries will also give indis-
putable evidence that there is much
to be gained by following this prac-
tlce OF summer pruning.

The House Of Representatives, On Wednes-
day, by vote Of four to one, disposed OF tho
subsidy business to merchant ships engaged IN
foreign trade. The bill proposed to create de-
partment Of government, with several hlgh-sal-
aried officers, whose business it Vas to receive
applications for the payment Of subsidies ont OF
the National Treasury to every oWnar Of ship
or steamer engaged in foreign commerce. In
stead of taking the tax of steel, iron, and wood
and paint, oil, copper, cordage, and canvas, and
enabling our merchants to build ships and steam
era at home, it proposed to pay every man di-
rect sum out OF the Treasury who should build a
ship and run it. II that bill comos up again, it
should bo amended 30 as to provide for the pay

corn, in order to cover whatever losses he may

The taxpayers Of Chicago who arc inclined to
cru1nble at the high ratios OF taxes may thank
their blessed stars they do not live in the Island
OF Rhodes. The poor people Of that Island,
after having been afflicted with earthquakes,
bad harvests, and a general muddle IN the
administration OF public Affairs, have now had
tax Of 10 per cont upon landed property levied
upon them by frman issued at Constantinop1e.
There are Il villages in the island, and corre-
spondent Of tho Leyant Herald cites one Of theee
villages as an instance OF the manner
in which all of them have been taxed. In
this particular village there are 40 wrotched hov-
els. The property of the people occupying
them was, in the first instance, estimated at
$1,000 piastres. The authorities, dissatisfied
with this estimate, ordered second valuation,
which gave the e1travagant sum of 234, 900 pias-
tres. and the tax was levied Oh this estimate.
This ta1, added to the customary titho in harvest
returns, gives total Of somo 10000 piastres,
which, it is stated, would support the whole VII
lago comfortably for year. Those who have
not sold off the little property they possess are
in the Government jail. The Collector is al
lowed percentage On what he gets, and this &C.
counts for the high estimate Of valuation. There
is CLEAN Of comfort for Chicago Taxpayers in
the fact that they 90 not live in Rhodes.
