TuN.-We are glad to know that
the anetIon concern which was here
last week did very thin business.
Onr people should give no encourage
ment 70 these rowing irresponsible sell
ers. While their goods may be cheap,
they are generally damaged, SO that
those who buy OF them generally get
blt. We have good merchants here in
all branches who are helping to bnild
up the town and the country. What
trey make hero they spend In improv-
ing, and thus give permanency to our
community. Every dollar spent at
home helps all classes of society, while
the money taken in by travelling auc-
eIOns Is all carried OF to benefit others.
Let us spend every eeat we can right
here at home, and thus encourage re-
liable business men to come here and
build up and strengthen ourselves nj

History OF the Apple by Prof. Chambers.
Society met November 22d, pursu-
ant to adjournment, in the secretary's
office in the court house, with presi-
dent Chambers in the chair.
The president read an address on
the history of the apple, in which he
suggested that it would be well to con-
time the discussion of the apple ques-
ton, and named the following topics
as good ones under which to treat the
subject: The uses of the apple, its
propagation, planting, culture, prun-
ing, valuable varieties, marketing, &c.
In the discussion of the subject of
the essay j. w. Trait thought the best
way to bring the matter before the So
ciety would be to assign each topic to
some member to elaborate and read
before the society at its meetings.
Rev. w. E. Copeland suggested that
the "uses of the apple" be assigned to
some lady member. Propagation was
assigned to j. w. Truitt, planting to
Prof. A. D. Chambers, and pruning to
Robert Milliken. The remaining
topics were left for future disposal.
Mr.. James Phenis thought one rea-
son why We have not more apples in
Lyon county is that we did not begin
planting soon enough. He thinks it
is eleven years since he set his ore hard.
Has 104 trees on tGo acres: put 75
bushels away for winter use.
With reference to the distance apart,
Prof. Chambers recommends 80 to 80
feet IS good distance; Phenis thinks
40 feet close enough; Robert Milliken
recommends 40 feet as good distance
for a mature orchard, but as q young
orchard will not occupy all the space
for twenty years, would fill up early
maturing kinds making an orchard
20 feet apart each way, and when the
Trees begin to crowd remove the tenn
porary ones.
Mr.. Copeland thought planting close
tended to protect the trees from the
high prairie winds.

the canker worm, which is quite de-
structive in his orchard; had tried tar
red paper and rags and found It diff
cult to keep the tar from coming in
contact with the bark of the tree and
injuring it. The only remedy to be
effectual in preventing their ravages
must be something to keep them from
ascending the body of the tree.
Chambers had used axle grease, such
rs is kept In the stores in small wood
en- boxes, as a preventive against the
rabbits gnaWing the trees, with per-
feet success, and thought it might keep
the canker worm from ascending the
trees. r.
Phenis thought they would stop at
nothing they could crawl over, how
ever nauseous.
On motion the reading OF the ad-
dresses on shade trees and flowers was
laid over until the next meeting.
The following is the program for the
meeting two weeks hence: Essay on
trees for shade and ornament by Robert
Milliken; essay on flowers adapted to
the soil and climate; essay on flowers
OF Kansas by w. E. Copeland: ques-
ton for discussion, "What apples shall
we plant"

ed to the State horticultural Society

LeoK Our.-Look on the third pagC
for Whitley & Henson's big advertise
ment. They mean business, and the
way they are scattering dry goods
through the country Is caution to the
men who make dry goods. whitley,
Henson, Hoover and Rowlands are
kept on the jump almost constantly
selling to the crowds who may be
found there every day. They are
pushing business and intend to contin-
ne to do so, and of course they know
that one OF the chief means is to u Sc
our columns. Their sales tor this year
will be almost double those OF any
former year. They have a big stock
constantly and we will wager that Ito
living man can under sell them. How's
that, boys?
