says lie will return the coin to the sub

it is not accepted lie will have justice
if lie has to carry the case to the high

The election in this precinct passed
off quietly. Every voter got down to
hard work. Partyism was set aside
and each one voted for the best men.
in their own estimation. suppose it
is not generally known that this is IN
open vote precinct-or what amounts
to the same thing. For the past two
elections it has been known to all who
cared to know. ssOn rs the votes were
counted, how each man voted. At the
last election two hoodlums were in the
voting room. near the judges. and took
down the number ;,s each man voted
and when the votes were counted they
they were close behind the judges and
saw how each mans ticket read, and
before morning each mans vote was
rs good as published. Now good
many voters had rather every brat in
the precinct would not he talking
about how so and 50 voted and If the
high and mighty judges Of election are

around begets in him desire to utilize

that fact. The county attorney, on the

make an efficient officer.

~ tue AAeSeTSatAsiss~
M. Preside Ladies ss,id Gentlemen:
In taking up tlis,subject l will say
that with the short experience we
have had here. in the cultivation of
fruit. i would consider myself. or any
other man rather presumptious who
would get up here to-day and say that
this or that variety of apple was the
only sort we could plant with success.
While there may he some who have
planted tender or southern varieties
through ignorance OF that fact.
That that home had failures do not
pretend to question. Tnt such fail
ures if there las been any have new
er come to my knowledge. With all
the varieties have growing,of plnms.

as "a half-inch of any of the tip ends OF
the smallest limbs or twigs. killed by
frost or bad weather. But have al.
ways exercised my best judgment.
which was partly guess work and
partly die, to my consulting the best
authority obtailable us to what was
the best.
That it. will take years of experience
and toll to fully determine the best
varieties to plant We must all admit;
and while these years Of experience
and toll are rolling past l would ad-
monish every horticulluralist to watch
carefully every variety lie las. and
give all the same care, and report to
this saciety all such Gf any that prove
TO be failure. 1t is conceded by the
best authority that where tree will
thrive and grow vigorously until it
has attained II proper age, without ever
having been killed back in winter.
sucli a tree will bear fruit. Allowing
this to be the case we have this much
OH which to base an opinion.
While we might try some of the
| chnice tender varieties in very small
numbers would recommend planting
largely of the hardest American and
Russian varieties-lmrticular the
Russian-they appear to be especially
adapted to our climate. they start off
and make strong. vigorous growth.

rieties in forming line. large. well
shaped tops.
l think we will do well to plant lib
orally of the Syberian llibreds. So far
rs my experience goes they have prov
ell 10 be nearly as hardy as our native
cottonwood. 1t seems like mOnOpOliZ-
ing too much time to enter into detail
and naming the hardy American, Rus
sian and Syherian varieties. as any of
you who do not know exactly what
| you want. will do well to leave the se-
lection nf the best variety to the nilrs-
eryman Of whom yon purchase your
stock-prvide you buy of II man
in whom you have confidence. There
is one thing more that wish to speak
of, and that is this: see by the re-
port of an experiment on the agricultu-
raj grounds in Denver, that they claim
that one yearling, native-grown apple
tree. is worth two or three two year
I.0lds shipped into the state from east
er,i nurseries and will bear fruit as
soon if not sooner. and will thrive and
grow and make II better tree in the
end. In this opinion coincide.

The Cultivation and Propagation
Of Currants.

The currant. although one of the
smallest of traits. is by no means tU
he despised. 1t has always been a
favOrite fruit of ours since our earliest
recollection. 1t ills IL place Oh account
of its acidity not filled by any other
fruit, and its c0oIing and lealthful in
fuence upon the system is beyond
question. Our experience in raising
and prOIngating the currlnt has been
rather limited. but the results have
Isbeen very salts factory. and We contem-
plate planting largely in the near fu-
ture. There arc several varieties Of
currants growing wild in our state and
We have seen some of them cultivated
with good results. There is no doubt
that all the tame varieties will do re-
lnarkably we'll and in fact prove pro-
life.
The ciIrrant possesses many advan-
tages over other varieties of small
fruits. II ean he used in !. green state

sought after and commands Il good
price. 1t is a splendid fruit dried. and
for jelly it is unsurpassed. In regard
to varieties, the Fays Prolific stailds ut

the white varieties the White Grape is |
the best. at least with me it las proved |

black varieties are Of much value for
making jam and jrllies.
There are no fruits that are more
readily or easily prolaGitrd than the
currants. They grow readily from the
cutting Of the last years growth wMsl.
The cuttings can be.i,ia'le either In tile
