CHERRY CREEK IndrPendent: The
manner in which the United States
Government treats its witnesses, at least
in the stage robbery case.is very unjust,
drawing il as mild as possible. At best
the Witnesses received but half enough

that they were taken there by the Gov

poor men is great piece of injus tice.

CuItivatinx Roses.


1 have for several years cultivated few
choice roses. Last spring added twenty TO
the number, and nearly all of them set out
In three and four-inch pots. In June I
plunged these into the soil of my flower gar
den; two of my old roses and three of my
new ones, however, were planted directly in
the soil. All these roses were of the ever
blooming sort. One of the three new roses
that were set in The ground, and only one,
grew more luxuriantly and bloomed more
abundantly than those in the pots 1t was
that charming rose Bon Silene. 1t gave me
six roses in midsummer, and then new
shoot sprang up from the roots, grew very
rapidly, and put forth three buds, and
branch put forth two more, so in the autumn
l had five roses (eleven in ally on that tiny
bush. After potting and removing to the
house in October, let it rest a few weeks
and then cut off nearly all of its leaves; from
the shoot referred to I removed every one.
At this time, two weeks later, there are Wig
orous shoots more than an inch long, with
three buds already peeping forth, where cut
off the leaves.
Several years ago was forced to strip nay
bushes of their leaves, not knowing then how
otherwise to get rid of the aphs, though 1
have since proved the virtues of helIebore.
Soon after thus despoiling the plant, it would
repay my harshness by putting forth new
shoots at the leaf-joints, crowned with buds.
Some people are so careful of their barren
rose plants that not leaf must be cut of,
not branch pruned, so they have naught
but the unsightly bush to care for, whereas,
If they would cut down the old wood, they
might be rewarded by new growth. A
good rich soil is quite as essential as pruning !:
also moisture and sunshine. I have seen
people who became discouraged because
their new rose plants dropped their leaves.
No matter how green the stalk, they ex-
claim, "My rose bush is dead;' and by
neglect they soon kill it. Had I pursued the
same course, several OF my choice plants,
that have yielded lovely roses two months
after setting out, would have been failure
So long as there is life in the stalk there is
hope that it will put forth and bud.-M. d.

The Wood Pile.

Farmers do not need to be told that water
was not made to burn, or that attempting to
burn 1t must prove very Improbable and vex-
atious business, and yet few OF them act as
though they thought water, or sap, which, IN
this respect, is just the same, was about the
best fuel to be had. At any rate they go on
burning it in their stoves with a patience
and persistence which, if exhibited in some
sensible business, would make them indepen-
dent. Half of every pound of green elm
wood is water, and other kinds, though less
sappy, are largely made up of the same non
combustible liquid. A man, therefore, who
uses ton of green wood, gets half ton,
more or, less, of fuel, and uses good share
OF it in evaporatiDg half ton, more or less.
of water. This, OF course, is expensive and
all wrong. 1t is a piece of shiftlessness which
farmer with broad acres OF woodland and
long winters in which to cut and prepare it,
has no business to be guilty of. This is
free country to be sure, and man who lives
alone has perhaps right to burn ice or
water If he pleases, but before he does it he
ought to be compelled to furnish bonds that
he will not become town pauper, condi-
ton to which such improvidence naturally
tends, and man with a family certainly
ought to be prohibited from abusing the
members OF it by compelling them to burn
green wood.
Again, wood that is seasoned out OF doors
is never half seasoned, and in being half sea-
soned it is very often half spoiled. Wood is
only in its best estate when it dries under
cover.
The time to cut and draw wood is now,
and there isn't bit OF danger of getting too
large pile. Then as early in the winter as
may be it should be prepared for the stove,
not merely cut into cord-wood, or sawed into
stove lengths and left without being split, bat
every stick should be made ready to burn,
and then when the outside has been "seared
over" by exposure to the air and sun few
weeks, it should be packed under cover and
left TO become perfect fuel.
To maLy who have been accustomed to
keep on hand years stock of wood, and
who know how foolish it is to live from hand
to mouth, these suggestions will appear use
less; but there are those who, through force
of habit or some other cause, burn green
wood, or supply their stoves by hacking
pieces from sled-leDgth pile in the door
yard, and these certainly need to be told that
they are abusing themselves and their fami-
lies.-Mirror and Farmer.

Theological students reason that If there is
counterfeit money, there must be genuine; SO
II there be infdels there must also be
christians. If this be true of money and
religion. will not the same rule apply to "put
up medicines? Do not the cheap and worth
less nostrums prove that there are genuine and
meritorious "put up" medicines? The great
popularity OF DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery has resulted in the manufacture of
many shoddy Alternative and tonic remedies,
the proprietors having found that no matter
how loud they advertise, success depends upon
merit. In South America, as well as in this
