The utmost good feeling prevails re-.
garding the result of the convention,
and delegates from no gathering in the
political history of the territory have
gone home with less soreness. Dele
gates from every section publicly and
earnestly declared determination to
go home and roll up such votes for Gift
ford as shall show that notwithstanding
public patronage is dispensed by the
opposition, there are still superabun-
dance OF republicans in the territory who
are not republicans for revenue only.
Every where there !s congratulation that
Dakota has decided to adopt different
rule and reward faithfulness IN her dele
gate by sending him back.
Thus writes q. w. Caldwell IN Yank-
ton special to the Sioux Falls Press CIV
in Y the result of the late convention. 1t
is probable that no Dakota convention
ever left behind it less bitterness than
the one which convened IN Yankton this
week. 1t was so nearly unanimous that
there IS little room for disappointment.
The few of the north who failed in the
accomplishment of their purposes carry
away with them the sting of defeat, but
in the hour of humiliation they should
not forget that in their past triumphs,
though they have overturned the desires
OF much larger proportion of the re-
publican party, the disappointed ones
have stood loyalty in support of con.
vention action and rallied at the polls in
behalf of republicanism at ensuing eiec-
tions. II happens this time that the
many have triumphed over the few and
those few can show no truer return for
the fealty of the past than by falling
INTO line alongside those who won in the
convention

Hanging Baskets.

| recommend that the pots and
baskets purchased are chosen of
clay or porous ware, which may be
placed inside wooden or iron frames,
or glazed vessels. When the bask-
cts have been selected, cover the
bottom to the depth of two inches
with little pieces Of charcoal which
serve threefold purpose,-that OF
fertilizer, purifier and drainage.
The dust Of charcoal is excellent,
beside, to mix with the earth for
growing plants. 1t is a very good
plan to place among the charcoal
bits in the basket a coarse sponge.

this will absorb all moisture not

Grating Trees.

\ statement was recently made
that the American Pathological Soci-
ETY., since its organization had ruled
out some six hundred varieties Of
fruit as being unworthy of place
in the list of fruits desirable for cul-
tivatioD. The list might be reduc-
ed still more, but the Improbable
trees would still remain to bear oc.
casional crops of inferior fruit unless
tree owners saw fit to abide by the
Judgment OF the fruit committee,
and improve their trees by re graft
ing to better varieties. Time and
money may be wasted or ioolishly
spent in grating old trees. 1t Is
often better to cut down or dig out
and begin anew on fresh land with
young trees of the most desirable
sorts But there are many young
healthy trees recently come into
bearing which are not true to the
name given them by the nurserymen
or their agents, and which it may
pay to graft over to better yarities
Any thrifty, vigorous tree that Is
not too large, will pay for grating
if the present variety is unworthy
of cultivation, and the tree is want
ed at all. Old wornout trees if al
lowed to stand are sure to make a
breeding ground for injurious in
sccts whose progeny will prey upon
the fruits of better trees. In these
days Of harmful insects, never let
tree stand because it is not
thought worth cutting down. 1t is
worth destroying if for no other OBJ
ject than to check the increase of
borers, caterpillars and other creep
ing and flying things. Having
cleaned out everything not worthy
of keeping, then graft the inferior
varieties to the best kinds known.
Grating is a very simple opera.

Farm Notes.

Much time on every farm is spent
in doing small jobs, and if proper
convenienceS for these are not turn.
ished, the time wasted Is so much
clear loss. A good farmer will try
to have stock, grain, hay and roots,
with water, all under one roof.
This enables him to do the work
with the least needless labor, and
gives more time for necessary i'm
proyementS.
One thousand pounds of dry corn
cobs will burn down to four and Il
half pounds of ash, and of this two
and half pounds will be pure pot
ash. The fact that COWS often like
corn cobs may be due to the potash
they contain, and which may serve
to correct disordered digestion.
Corn cobs also contain about two
pounds of nitrogen to thousand of
dry cobs, but this is, of course, lost
by burning.
A few years ago setting hedge
fences was popular mania in many
parts of the West. There is less of
this now, and many old hedges
would be gladly COTTON rid of if it
did not involve so much labor.
The hedge fence kills out in spots
during severe Winters, its roots fill
the ground for some distance on
either side, and it requires too much
labor to keep it in good condition.
After calves get so they will eat
hay give them what they will eat
clean of this and about one quart
of oats daily. Without the grain,
the hay will only keep them in store
condition and worth little more at
Il year old than now. All the profit
will come from the grain, and the
farmer who sees this point will in.
crease the grain feed all the animals
will bear.
No pruning at all is safer prac-
ticc than the putting sharp knife
into the hands of an ignoramuS. 1t
requires skill and knowledge of var
ieties and their pecullaritieS, which
few possess, to prnne apple and
pear trees properly. What would
be good treatment for one variety
would be ruinous to others.
