About Roses.

All roses flower more profusely if Wig
orously pruned. 1t is best TO cut the
old wood with an unsparing hand, for
the handsomest blossoms viii spring
from fresh growth and young shoots
from the roots will bear the largest
cluster of buds. Hybrid perpetuals re-
quire to be pruned as soon as their first
flowers have faded so as to produce
good display of buds and blossoms in
September. They have no claims to the
title ''perpetuap' as they never bloom
but twice in the year and rarely that,
unless they are highly fertlized and
closely cut back when they have ceased
TO bloom in early summer. They are
the most desirable of summer roses be-
cause they have so luxuriant q growth
and possess the charms of brilliant cob
orings anu fragrance. Great advance
has been made during the past few
years in their varieties, which are now
numbered by hundreds in the English
! and French floral catalogues, and our
own florists offer them in large numbers
and at very low prices. Ten cents will
often buy furnishing young plant
which, in two or three years if properly
treated, will become large bush.

bushes of roses should be tied up. to
stakes made either of small pine trees
or of wood painted green. Watering

beauty of roses at this season. That

other. Do, not put it. on too strong,
else it will do more harm than good. II

Do Your Own Repairing.

We think that almost every farmer

should have its own workshop, and ev-
cry cultivator of the land should under

when he first enters upon farming on
coming of age; but after a yearor two
of what we should call apprenticeship,
when he finds that to knew how to do

How to Train Tomato Vines.

Z In my experience and observation in
the cultivation IF the tomato plant
have novor seen So profitable a way as
is practiced bymy next neighbor. When
his ground is made ready, he sets the
plants in rows, about four feet apart and
three feet in the row. When about a
foot high, he places stake, about six
feet long, firmly driven into the ground,
leaving about four and half feet above
ground. To these stakes the stalks are
tied, pains being taken as the plants
grow to have p crotch at or near the
ground. As these two branches grow,
he entwines them about the stake
When any branches start out of the
main stalk, they are allowed to grow
only few inches long, then headed in
by taking off the terminal buds. In that
way many side branches are furnished
for bearing. s-'. r. 7.e"
When planted in this way, the plants
are easily cultivated; light and air free
~ circulating In every part. The to-
matoes, being thus favored, grow very
large, and, being so far above the
ground, are free from dirt and all wash
ing and cleaning are avoided. They are
ready for market when picked. Where
there is not a suitable branch formed
near the ground, one stalk is wound
around the stake and does very well
When the stalks reach the top of the
stake, they are not allowed to go higher
On plants set out in this climate about
the last Of April or first of May the first
ripe fruit appears about the middle of
July and growth of vine and yield of
fruit continues until frost kills the
leaves-usually three months Of ripen-
ing. SO, g essss aa...., -. j.. j..
My neighbor tells me that in good
growing season he has picked from half
a bushel to three pecks from each aver
age stake, and no larger or smoother
tomatoes than his appeared in market.
He also tells me that he would rather
have the stalks. taller than shorter. In
this way of training the stalks the fruit
is ripe two weeks earlier than by the
low way of training. The object Of this
training is to induce growth of fruit, in
stead of unnecessary branches. Il When
the stalks are in rapid growth, trimming
is needed once in ten or twelve days.
In this way he has raised at the rate Of
1920 or |, 500 bushels per cre.- Couas-

/, Egyptian q and Hindoo Musicians.

a j4Fsse *
The Egyptian sings at his work. be II
at the water-wheei, maize hoeing, row.
ing or donkey-driving. He is always
droning out some chant; not without the
grace Of melody, though it is better
generally not to be aware Of the exact
meaning Of his lay. Like the j Persian,
the Syrian and the Arab, he, thinks high
" of the art of song. The .Shoara Of
the Nile are popular and well-paid mu-
sicians; and even the Almeh or Awalim
the girls who dance and sing are so
called as being learned women. " But
the Hindoo is not of himself a singer.
He likes to squat on the ground and
hear the nautch women 90 through
their prolonged performance to the
gourd drum and the sitar. Indian regi-
ments do not sing choruses ike our
own, nor do Indian crowds take up the
refrain of a song and repeat it vocifer-
ously as an English crowd Will do at the
theater or in a public place. They
shout few words sometimes like stJeyi
Jeyp' and a Mohammedan mob at such
a festival as the Mohurrum viii raise a
vast clamor with religious soutcries.
The airs which Hindoos know and APP
preciate are soft wailing winding mi
nors, full y of intervals, ornament and
half notes, very different in style from
the sort of Gregorian chant which is
our national anthem. Many of these,
like the Egyptian songs, have no tune
at all, but only a rhythm, dependent
on the text, which itself varies with the
temper or the circumstances of the
"Gooneen or 'sKunchenee.' s.ss
The orthodox Indian music is one of
the strangest systems extant, with six
master movements, each having five
''wivesn OF raginees, every one of these
producing eight. nelodious offspring,
thus making 240 Legitimate !! songs.
These are all personifed as deities in
such works as the. ..Ratna-mala,' and
belong to religious days and rites; and
a Sanskrit version of ssGod Save the
Queen" would be as strange among
them as . Dervish in a cathedral. The
Hindoos, however, have, no doubt,
other and popular songs; and many
beautiful airs might indeed be CLEANED
by q Western musician from the dhoor-
peeds of the Rajpoots, the ghuzuls and
rektahs of the Moguls, the dadras and
nuktas, the tuppas and teranas and pal
mas of the Bengalis. The major part of
these, also, are heard from the lips Of
some singer or dancer, who drones out
the long weird melody to the rising and
falling accompaniment of the drumskin
and the brass wires, and who would be
wonderfully puzzled to keep to the
regular and severe measure Of an Occi-
dental anthem 1t is characteristic OF
this Eastern habit of getting dancing
and singing done for hire, instead OF
joining in as Westerns do, that harmony
is almost unknown among Indian must
clans. The monotone of their, songs is
supported by simple Instrumentation,
which furnishes a kind of accompani-
ment, and by its excellent time pro-
duces good effect; but pert-singing" is
not understood.-Lcndon Telegraph.

Insects Going West.

The tide of travel with insects, as
with men. seems naturally to be from
east to west. With the noted exception
of the grape phylloXera and the Colo
RADIO potato beetle (as Miss Murthly
points out IN paper to the St. Louis
Academy, Europe has not received
from America any considerable pest,
while inuumerable noxious species have
crossed the Atlantic from Europe.
There is a comparative scarcity, too. of
Asiatic insect species on the western
seaboard of America, notwithstanding
the frequent ocean traffic. Spite Of
great arid plains and lofty mountains,
nearly all the insects of Eastern Ameri-
can States, including those from Europe,
have found their way to the fields, Or
chards, and vineyards of the Pacific
States. One of the latest insect in
vaders from Europe is the cabbage or
rape-butterhy (Pjegis 7Tspg, Schrank)
1t appeared about twelve years ago in
some northern seaports, and its range
now extends from far north in Canada
to the south of Georgia 1t attacks
every cruciferous garden vegetable, but
in the flower garden curiously rejects
plants of that family in favor of migno-
nette. Miss Murhly has noted large
amount OF premature emergenee from
the chrysalis, and consequent death :;
indicating imperfect adjustment of the
insect to the climate of its new habitat.
In Europe the insect is mainly kept IN
check by numerous parasites. For sew
erai years in America none such came
to the aid of the disheartened gardener.
but some have now appeared, the most
important being small metallic green
fly, which, though identical with the
most destructive European parasite, is
proved to be Indigenous on both sides of
the Atlantic. It laws its eggs IN or upon
the skin of the mature caterpillar, and
from these come small maggots. which
live on the fatty tissues of their victim
but do not touch its vital organ until the
chrysalis state is reached. Mature.
