The Radish Worm.

A Cuztivotor correspondent says: 'It
is we'll known that the radish, when set
in old cultivated land, or in soil that is
compact or in any way heavy, is invari-
ably attacked by wcrm which renders
the vegetable worthless. Sandy soil, or
such as is made light by sand, is par
TALLY preventive. Coal ashes are also
recommended. From three years ex-
perience in the matter, I find that sui
phur is a specific for the radish worm.
After making the s!ighU furrow for the
seed, sprinkle liberal covering of
sulphur in it. Next SOW the seed upon
it, cover and press the earth over the
seed, finally applying another sprinkling
of sui phur over the spot where the seed
is sown. With this preparation, I have
found that the worm will not attack the
radish. I wish many of our readers
would try this same experiment and re-
port results at the end of the season."

Grating Stone Fruit.

The cherry and plum, and even the
peach, can be grated with success, if the
work be done early in the season; but ii
left until the buds begin to break, it is
much more difficult to make the cions
live in either of these trees than in the
apple or pear Just why this is so is not
fully understood, but the fact is we'll
known. In grating trees that produce
stone fruit, the work should be done
early in April; for if left until the last of
the month the result will rarely be salts
factory. In grating the peach the work
should not only be done early in the
season, but it should be done on young
trees; for to set cions in the branches Of
old peach trees is not usually attended
with success The best time to graft
peach tree is when it is young and has a
Stone not much more than an inch in di-
ameter. The top should be cut off level
with the ground. After the cion is set,
draw the earth up around it so as to
leave but two buds above ground; cion
thus set will rarely fail to grow; but as a
rule it is not necessary to graft the peach.
because they can be as easily budded, and
the buds can BIZ set the first year after
the tree comes from the seed, when the
tree is too small to graft; but sometimes
the bud fails to grow, and the tree makes
such rapid growth that it is too large to
re-bud in the autumn; then it is desirable
to graftin the following spring.
1t is often found desirable to graft both
the plum and the cherry when the trees
are nearly full grown, and fortunately the
work can be done on large tree almost
as successfully rs on a small one, provld-
ING the work be done at the right season
by one who understands it. In grating
full grown tree the work should be
commenced at the top, and the whole cen.
ter of the tree cut off and grated; and if
the cions all grow we'll, the next year the
lower limbs may be grated; but, as a
rule, it is best to be three years in chang:
ing the top of large tree. One mistake
is often made that should be avoided,
which is in setting cions of too great
length; two good buds are sufficient.
There are several advantages in having
short cions; first, there is not so much
danger OF Inelr QrylNg ups seCouu, III le
auires less force to start two buds than a
half dozen, some of which are consid-
erabe distance from the growing tree;
third, there is not the danger of short
cion being started as there'is long one.
Many cions are broken off, or started out
of place by the birds, therefore, when the
whole top Of tree is grated, some pro-
vision should be made for the birds, that
they may not rest on the cions; this can
be done by fastening firmly to the tree
some of the severed limbs, so they will be
higher than the cions. Unless some pro-
vision of this kind be made, the early
grated trees will be very likely to have
many cions displaced by the birds.-Aas-

II have been in poor health several years,

MRS. q. D. WISANs, 20 East Mason Street,

Now is the Time
To take Hoods Sarsaparilla, the popular spring
medicine and blood purifier. Why?
Because the body is now more susceptible to
the beneficial effects of this peculiar medicine
than at any other season.
Because the i'm purities in the blood should
be expelled and that tired feeling overcome
before the additional debilitating effects OF
warm weather are felt.
Because the thousands Of people who have
tried it pronounce Hoods Sarsaparilla the
very best medicine to take in the spring.

Because, as now is the time when you may
derive the greatest good, it is certainly econo-
my to take Hoods Sarsaparilla now.
Do Not be Imposed Upon
The great and increasing popularity of hoods
Sarsaparilla has led some unprincipled men to
use it as bait to draw customers to their stores,
and then by unfair representations endeavor
to sell other kinds. 1T unnecessary for US to
caution those who have tried Hoods Sarsapa'

who have never taken it we say, Don't be i'm

WTsCoNsIN's Eighth congressional district
is represented by William 7. Price, a Repub.
licsn, who has managed to attract to himself
some attention by his fierce opposition to
pensioning the widow of Gen. Hancock. Heis
quoted as saying that "the practice OF granting
large pensions to widows of men who have
been receiving big salaries and who died
poor is destructive of American manhood
The influence is to make men live up to the
last dollar of their salaries in pomp and ex-
travagance and champagne. 1t shakes every
principle of justice and creates privileged
class" In this Mr.. Price proves himself
low-priced statesman. He contends in effect
that those traits of generosity which charac-
terized the dead hero of Gettysburg which
made 1t impossible for him to turn deaf ear
TO the calls OF charity, were unworthy OF
him, and that more credit would have
attached to him had he boarded that salary
which the government gave him. This may
be Prices opinion, but the great body of
warm-hearted men and women of the
country will be glad that Hancock's failings
cleaned to virtues side" And, remember
ing his magnificent services to his country in
her hour OF greatest peril, his big generosity
to his poor comrades in arms in the days that
followed will forever prove him one of the
brayest and lenderest men of his time.

Something should Be Done.

The narrow escape of the New York and
Chicago limited express from terrible ao'
cident on the Pennsylvania railroad near
Elizabethtown, with the chances of a like
experience that have been demonstrated
before, must impress the management
with the necessity Of taking better precau-
tions against this danger. The roof
Of the tunnel was removed some years
ago because, we believe, the arch
was deemed insecure and occasionally
. stone dropped to the track. 1t is
apparent that the sides Of the cut were left
too precipitous from the frequent rock and
land slides which have occurred. We
should think the obstruction, delays and
labor already occasioned there were more
expensive than the repairs necessary to
give the sides greater slope would be.
All the through passenger trains of the
road are run over the single track passing
through this tunnel cut and its present
hazardous condition should not continue.

That marvellous field of drifted light

Whereof the one more bright, etc.
The verse is now correct, not only as to the

the great nebula in Orion. If Longfellow' s
verse could be revised with view to botani.

Gladstone and Parnell.

1t is significant of the close relations ex-
isting between Gladstone and Parnell that
the latter in recent interview declares
the most important factor towards the Sc
curing of home rule for Ireland is the
health of Mr.. Gladstone. The Irish leader
can conceive of 10 graver calamity to the
cause than that Mr.. Gladstone's voice
should fail him in the crisis that is at hand.
This frank expression of views from Mr..
Parnell should set at rest all the rumors
that himself and Mr.. Gladstone are work.
ing at cross purposes. There is no doubt that
they are in thorough unison on the Irish
programme, and no stronger pair of states
men ever stood together for an oppressed
country.
Mr.. Parnell sees many good reasons why
the land purchase bill of Mr.. Gladstone
should pass. The Irish landlords are natural
ly anxious for it, as they will get value for
property, the ownership of which has been
very annoying. As these are largely Tories,
they must have an important influence in
weakening Tory opposition to the bill. The
enemies of the scheme cannot help seeing
that the result of an appeal to the country,
the issue being home rule for Ireland,
would not place them in better position
than they now are. For seventy Conser-
vative seats were gained by the aid of the
Irish vote at the last election, and these
would naturally fall back to the Liberals
if the issue of Irish home rule was fairly
presented. What Liberal loss would be
otherwise incurred would in this manner
be made up, and the final result would
probably be a majority of 10 Liberals and
Nationalist combined over the Tories.
Surely the prospect for Ireland's auton-
omy was never more cheering, and feryent
wishes will go up everywhere that the Sage
of Hawarden's health may be spared at
this time of such urgent need for Erin.
