THE ROSE.

Roses will do we'll in any ordinary gar
den soil that is free from standing water
and well drained. When there is too
much clay the soil can easily be made suf-
ticiently friable bv the application of
wood and coal ashes. lime, stable manure,
etc When on the other hand a soil is
sandy or too light. we need to bring clay.
leaf mold, etc, TO give sufficient body
Pruning is best done in November or
March. though, TO secure n good crop of
flowers in the autumn, il is necessary tn
prune Immediately after the first flower
ing is over. In regard TO manuring we
would say that there must be generous
application if we expect generous y'eid
of flowers. When roses are planted in
the spring, it is better not to dig in much
manure about the roots, but rather apply
as surface dressing. This will at once
be nourishing, keeping the roots cool. and
prevent suffering from the drouths of sum-
mer. The following autumn or fall after
the roses have been planted. there should
be again applied as mulching. a free ap-
plication of stable manure, which may he
dug in the next March. We find COW
manure the best fertilizer on the whole
that we have tried. though all kinds ot
farm manure are good, rs are also bone
dust. SCOT, guano, &c. We know some
amateur florists who complain that they
are always unsuccessful in the culture oil
roses This may be partly owing to want
OF sufficient attention to manur,g, prun-
inc and cultivation at the proper time.
Another cause of failure is, that instead
of planting the common, harier varieties.
they select such as require the care and
attention of professional florists

ment

There is great interest among the farmers
over the trial on the farm of Engineer
Riggs of the Suflield branch road, Mass,
of new process for the preservation of
iorag crops in their green state" which
was experimental with for over 20 wears
by NJ. Gofiart OF Salome, France. who half
a dozen years ago perfected it. This is
the only trial OF the process in Connecticut,
and, with a single exception, the only one
in New England. The first test was made
Thursday. one-horse-power engine is
used to run the cutter, which somewhat
resembles a hay-cutter. Into this are run
three or four and even half a dozen corn
stalks at time, which are cut into very
small pieces. Afterward they fall into II
slide, which takes them to a vault II by
26 feet and 10 deep, which has thick con-
crete walls, and is capable OF holding 81
tons of this feed The engine with 60
pounds of steam can put up four tons an
hour, or half fill the vault in a day When
the vault is filled and closely packed
down, 80 tons of stone are placed on top.
IL is claimed that the .iodder' will
keep green and retain its sweetness rs
long as it is kept covered. thus making il
one of the best as well as the cheapest
kinds of feeds obtainablc for cattle the
year round. 1t isn't intended, however,
that this feed shall be sold as other kinds,
and. indeed, it couldn't be. as after "a
hours exposure fermentation would set
in, which of course would ruin it, II can,
of course, be taken out only little mt a
time, as it is need, for use.

very common error i'm window -garden-
ing is that OF attempting too much. Too
many plants are crowded into the little
space at command, so that it is impossible
to give each the air and light il should have.

MEAL FOR A POUND OF PORK.

To make a pound of pork requires,
theoretically, four pounds of corn, allow
ing for waste, undigested matter, and for
the sustenance of life. 1t is scarcely pos
sible that pound of pork can be produced
on less than this. In practice the best re-
suits attained have approached this very
closely and four and half pounds Of
corn have produced pound of pork. But
as mixed food is more healthful than all
corn, there is economy in feeding waste
milk, boiled small potatoes, cut clover,
and other such food. Pork. at the worst,
can be made for the piece Of four and "a
half pounds of corn.-N. +. Farmcr.

Journalistic Honesty. :,

The Era asked us some weeks ago if
we would vote for Col. Savage for Gov.
ernor before the convention and after
the convention and ,citho,h the conven-
ton, and we answered the questions
fully and respectfully. We then asked
the Era if it would support certain dis
tinguished gentlemen of our county
who had done as much for the people
as ever Col. S. had done, and here is
the answer it contains this week.
"Keep it before the people that when
A. M. Burney asks d. F. Wallace if
he would support Asa Faulkner, H. l..
w. Hill, G. M. Smart and Gen. Dib.
rell for Governor aoe ans,cer that 1t Is

25 years Journalistic honesty!p
Very good David, if you can stand
such answers we can. These distin.
guished gentlemen are not candidates
for Governor nor do we mention
them as such, but they are men Of
mark, and you will feel it some day
whether it is our business or not. We
think it will be yours then.

Wallace asks us; l If we voted for the

Alabama vs.. Tennessee Politics.

1t is really soul-cheering and hopeful
to see from the papers how harmonious
and buoyant the democracy of our sister
State Alabama are. Weclip the follow
ing from the Scottsboro Citizen. "Col.
J.B. Moore, Of Tuscumbia, madea patri-
Otto speech in the court house last Mon.
day, which did every true democra,
good who heard it." This speech was
delivered to united and harmoni
9ps democracy who are daily organ
izing for the greatest contest ever known
to our country, while the same party in
Tennessee is almost hopelessly di
xided, and no man can come before
the democrats Of Tennessee and ad
dress them as unit, as did
Col. Moore on this occasion. W.
mention this fact not to criminate an,
one but to stimulate every one to for
get ali minor differences and unite a
one man against the hydraheaded mon
ster OF radical Imperialism which threat
ems the very existence of the republic
and the destruction of our free institu
tons. Alabama settled her State deb
last year by compromise and is to-da,
at peace with herself, honored and re
spected abroad and the democrats ar
united and harmonjous-ready for tn
great contest of 1850.

What About High Tax Now

David F. Wallace after grave ST.
lence of four weeks comes out in the
Era this week and says that he not only
signed the 50-4 measure, and told j.
g. Biles and Sam L. Colville that he
was going to vote for it, but that 500
others knew he was in favor of it and
the only reason he did not vote for it
was the bondholders would not accept
it. Mark you he did not object to the
h,gh taS nor the fraudulent bonds
which that measure involved, and
which he now charges upon every
body who voted for it. He says in an
editorial which you will find quoted in
the STANDARD this week that Col.
Savage said he was ready TO vote so
cents tas on the 500 to pay the 5O-4
Indebtedness.
Neither D. F. Wallace nor Col. Saw
age was opposed to 80 cents ta1 on the
500. Yet the Era says we are high
tax organ because we voted for that
same measure that Col. Savage has the
honor of as a "grand victory" and
which the Era signed and pledged il
self to vote for.
How will 80 cents on the 500 do
for high tax, Mr.. Era, for you and Col.
Savage?
Keep it before the people that Meth.
er Col. Savage nor "his boy Dave
ever opposed the 5o-4 measure on the
grounds of high taxes-for the Ero
says they are for 30 cents tao on tn
500 to pay the debt at 5O-4 whenever
the bondholders say so!
