A Small Flower Garden.


A writer in the Western Farm Jour
nal recommends for small flower
garden the following list, as they do not
require treatment, are good sturdy
varieties, will sta4d neglect, yet do well:
Asters, balsams, dianthus, petuuias,
phlox, calliopsis, verbenas, sweet peas,
miginonette, cinnias, maTgolds, and
portulacas. The same writer again SAYS
''The plants have named will afford a
profusion of flowers from June to
October. PhloX win be the first to bios
som, and then petunias win come on,
and both of these flowers continue TO
increase in beauty until hard frosts
come. Asters viii be in perfection in
August and September. Calliopsis be-
gins to blossom in July, and nearly all
the Others come on early in thSt month.
If old flowers are removed and not
allowed to go to seed, you will have
much greater profusion of bloom. If
you do not remove faded flowers, but
allow them to perfect seed, you will soon
see that your plants are losing large
share Of their former glory. You can't
expect plant to ripen seed and blossom
profusely at the same time"

Sowing Seeds.

The spring Is about on us, and seed
sowing in the garden and on the farm
will soon be here. AS myriads of seeds
are wasted every year, few hints may
be seasenable and serviceable.
The most successful sower we ever
knew lets his garden ground get little
dry before sowing. Then he stretches
the line along where the seeds are to go,
sows the seeds on the surface, and then
walks sideways along the line, pressing
the seeds with his "flat FOOT He says
he never has seed to miss, and so
sows them thinly just where every
plant is to grow. Thereis not only no
waste OF seed but no waste in thinning.
There is llo raking in of the seed and
the whole is as simple as possible. His
wife is good flower gardener. Her
mignienette and phloxes always grow,
and ten cent paper is enough for the
whole garden. She sows on the surface
"pats" down, as she says, the earth with
the back of her cast-steel trowel, puts
the stick with the name in the centre
of the little patch. aud they sprout at
once.
Now this is all reasonable enough
when we think of it. There are lots of
people who believe that rag-weed and
other rubbish will keep seed fresh for
years when bat plowed down a few
inches. Whether this is SO or not, deep
sowing is known to be unfavorable to
termination. Seed like to be near the
air, but near the moisture too, and all
that is necessary to this is that they be
pressed firmly in the ground OF course
the seed need not be "tramped'' in
There are ways enough of covering
seed properly with implements. We
only refer to our friends experience
for the lesson it teaehes.s

Fruit

A bill has been presented TO the Ver-
mont legislature, on petition of S. w.
Jewettand Others, TO protect fruit growers
by compelling people to take proper
care OF their trees, on penalty of fine if
found guilty of wanton neglect. We
know of many cases where such law,
il enforced, would be of great benefit to
communities. A single tree sometimes
becomes the pest distributor of q large
neighborhood, which if attended to in
season might be wholly prevented

Base Ball between Lancaster and
PlattevIlle.

week ago last Saturday a game of base
ball was to have been played at Platteville
between the Lancaster club and a Georgetown
club. The Lancaster club went down for that
purpose but the Georgetown club did not put
IN an appearance. A game was made between
the Lancaster boys and a Platteville club in
time to play three innings before dark. The
innings resulted in 4 to IL runs in favor of
the Lancaster club. These clubs then ar
ranged for a matched game to be played at
Lancaster last Saturday. The Platteville boys
came up promptly, some of them uniformed,
and looking in fine trim and good spirits. The
clubs met on Willis field at O'Clock. The
catcher and pitcher of the Lancaster club,
Foster and Henry Englebach, were absent
They are well known to be the best players
in Lancaster, and our boys therefore went in
to the gene with some misgiyings Dr.Barber
was chosen Umpire but during the game was
called away and Mr.. z. J. Bently umpired till
the game was out. The boys played with
great energy and made the game very inter-
esting to spectators as well as to themselves
Darkness cut them off at the seventh inning.
The score was then counted and found to be
as follows:
Lancaster. 0III3i3ITI2I2l-l

Astonishing Success.

1t is the duty of every person who has used
Boschee's German Syrup to let its wonderful
qualities be known to their friends in curing
consumption, severe coughs, Group, Asthma,
Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and lung
diseases. No person can use it without inn
mediate relief. Three doses will relieve
any case, and we consider it the duty of all
Druggists to recommend it to the poor dying
consump.ive, at least to try one bottle, as
40, 900 dozen bottles were sold last year,
and no one case where it failed was reported
Such q medicine as the German Syrup cannot
be too widely known Ask your Druggist
about it. Sample bottles to try sold at 10
cents Regular size Is cents. For sale by

by using HIGGINS GERMAN LAUNDRY Soar

LAST year the HERALD knocked the so-called
greenback party's brains out the moment it be,
gan 10 show life and attempt to form a county
organization. This year the HERALD has seen
fit to pander to the greenbaek party,-to pat
it on the back and to call its leaders good
fellows, etc, etc.-and the result is ''party"
which will leave the Republican party of Grant
County several hundred in the minority at the
polls next Tuesday. That's what comes of
having newspaper which finds it necessary
every now and then, to inform the public that
it 'has the heart and the nerve to do right"
BY their fruits We shall know them, etc 1--WE
forgot to say that the HERALD has changed
editors since last year. Poor Griefstack.
The HERALD has pursued the very same
course toward the Greenback party this year
that it did last. except that it has denounced
its "leaderso in terms much more severe than
last year, and it has said great deal more
against the Greenback County organization
this year than last. fright here we will add
that every word that appeared editorially in
the HERALD against the Greenbackers last
year, was written by the same hand that
writes the editorials for the HERALD this yearl

Cheap Like Niger"

The following spicy anecdote is told of
the late John B. Floyd, Secretary of War
in President Buchanan's Cabinet:
His complexion was dark, and his hair,
although of fine texture, very curly,
clustering in close ringlets all over his
head. He always dressed in exceedingly
good taste, and sported the best of broad
cloth, so that he presented an exception
ally fine appearance. During the ad-
ministration of Mr.. Buchanan, a recep-
ton was given at the White House to a
delegation of Indians from the Plains,
and Gov. Floyd attended, as Secretary
of War, to receive the gentle savages and
present them to the President. He was
arrayed in full evening costume, swallow
tail, choker and white kinds, in order
that the occasion might be as impress
sive as possible. The Aborigines were
gotten up in most extravagant display of
paint, feathers and gew-gaws. After the
ceremony had been concluded, Gov.
Floyd, by way of advertisement, proudly
touched his own manly breast and re-
marked to one of the chiefs, in the usual
vernacular:
"Me Indian-Virginia blood-Poca-
hontas!"
The chief gazed at him from head to
foot, looking very doubling, and then
putting his hand on the Governors head,
and feeling his curls, gravely answered.
mo Indian-no Indianl Hair heap
like niger"
President Buchanan roared at the
sally, in which Gov. Floyd, who loved a
joke even at his own expense, heartily
Joined. But historians say he never sub
seauently claimed Indian blood.
