Dear Sir
Please allow me space in the columns of
your Bulletin, to congratulate the Odd
Fellows on the event of their gathering on
the evening of the 26th September. The
addresses delivered by the different speak
ers l found very interesting. More so
when a Bro. present when thrown on a
land amongst strangers could declare that
he still felt himself at home, which fact
went far to prove the grand object of the
Association whose basis they declare to be
Friendship, Love, and Truth.
We wish them God speed and an
increase of Members.

Beet Sugar Banks.

A cable despatch from Europe informs

that they can no longer look to the Mag

Cided to found IA syndicate bank at Brus-
sells with a capital Of $l5 100000 and agen
cirS in every part of the world. It is SAID
the bank will not speculate, but sell sugar
on commission and make loans 10 manufac-
turerS. The latter are said to be full of
confidence that the position is radically
strong. They and many well posted men
on this side of the Atlantic admit that it
has been taken advantage of by the Specu-
latOrs who have perhaps put prices up
higher than they can be sustained on their
merits. They say the worlds supply of
sugar is really short, being 100000 tons,
or nearly One-third less than at this time
last year, and that the recent decline in
prices has no significance, as it leaves the
matter of supply entirely unchanged,
though it tends to diminish the demand for
refined for extra carrying stock. The
price of beet sugar, which is the specula-
tive sugar of Europe, has recently declined
about II cents per pound, while raw and
unrefined cane sugar has only declined d
cent. The last, named is that which is
principally produced on this side Of the
Atlantic.

Stra wberry Plants i'm August,

There is one advantage in setting out
strawberry plants at this time, and that
is, if care is taken to secure a good
thrifty start to grow in the fall, the
plants will bear the next spring, writes
N. J. Shepherd in the Nebraska Farmer.
But in dry or rather sandy soil, it is
sometimes rather difficult to get the
plants we'll started in growing.
The soil should be in good till at the
start. This is important SO that i'll set
ting out the plants, very little work will
be required to have the soil come in
close contact with the plants. OF the
different plans usually followed in set
ting out cut plants, prefer to puddle
them. Take loamy soil, good rich soil
is always the best, put u quantity in a
shallow pan or vessel and add water un-
til it is almost the consistency of cream.
Do not take up too many plants at
once; keep roots shaded. Put them in
this mud and work them around it until
there is as much as possible adhering
to it. A garden trowel is good i'm
plement to use in setting out the plants.
Have the rows already worked out and
then make the place for the plant,
spread out the root carefully and put
the soil around carefully and press
down so that the roots will come in
close contact with the soil. If the
weather Is very dry and warm con-
slider it best to water two or three times
at least until the plants start to grow.
But in what may be considered an
ordinary season, this may not be neces-
sary and they will be able to make n
good growth before cold weather sets
in. Less cultivation will be required
by this plan, than by spring or fall set

Clubs. ....
Omaha &. pes NIoines a.

Omaha won its third consecutive game
from Des Moines yesterday afternoon In the
presence of at least 300 people who could not
get inside the big tent at Forepaugh's circus.
They were satisfied at their good fortune,
however, as instead of seeing four elephants
they had an opportunity OF looking at nine.
The geological aggregation referred to, for
want of q better name, is yclept Des Moines.
Ted Kennedy, gentleman who. mas won
undying fame in the world of base ball by in
venting brass knobs for catchers' gloves, and
by helping Kearney build cotton mill, was
IN the box, and with the assistance OF his
eight associates pitched good game for the
visitors, barring the sending of six men to
bases on balls at critical points in the game
The contest opened with two cyphers,
one for each club, but in the sec
ond Omaha scored four times. Walsh got
a base on balls and on hit by Andrews
went to third Wally then stole second, and
on three sacker by Messitt both scored.
The cheers of small boy on the bleaching
boards at this juncture were thrilling.
On Canavan's hit Andrews scored. Jimmie
afterward stole second and crossed the plate
after Kennedy had filled all the bases by
giving men balls they could not reach by tel
ephone, all because there was no base for
him to rest upon. But finally the Omahas
were retired, and then Des Moines added an
other gooseberry to their side of the tabu-
lated result.
Omaha made q run in the sixth. Andrews
got base on balls, stole second, and after
getting third on Messitts out at second,
scored ON an error of Connell. That ended
Omaha's run getting.
Des Moines made two runs In the eighth
after struggle.
Here is the score of the exhibition:

Trunk. Blight i'm Annie Trees.

Promising that n proper selection in
regard to hardness and local adaptation
is made, advise that when planting
out the little trunks be entirely shaded
from the rays of the sun, and that the
ground be we'll nulchcd for II good dis
tance beyond the extent of the roots,
says the Rural New Yorker. Two
quarts of good wood ashes and one quart
Of slaked lime, scattered beneath the
tree and beyond the spread OF the roots
at the end of the seasons growth, are
absolutely needed to supply the want Of
the plant food in these substances, in
old soils.
Do not prune at all while the tree is in
good health, but rub Off such shoots as
should not be allowed to grow, as, like
all other evils, they should be "nipped
in the bud" But it will be necessary
to prune when by accident, age or leaf
blight, some of the leaves commence to
decay. In such cases saw the affected
limbs rather close to the trunk pare the
whole surface of the wounds smoothly,
bevel the edges, and apply with an old
paint brush, some hot pine tar into
which one-half of it's bulk of fine sand
has been stirred. This preparation will
keep out the rain, and less of decay will
result than by any other method that /
have tried.
1 do not believe that nk-blight oc-
ours without good causes. Early in the
spring when the stronger-growing rays
of the sun fall upon the trunk of a tree
that has no shell bark to protect it. and
the head of which is not large enough
to shelter it, the bark with tempera-
turc of 49, to co. fah.. must expand,
while the rest of the trunk remains
frozen. A separation of the bark and
sap-wood is then inevitable, and trunk
blight has commenced.
Again, Il trunk ex posed to the fierce
rays of our July and August suns while
the tender sap for the season s sap-wood
is being deposited, and while tier
mometer placed there would Indicate
almost n scalding heat, would stand no
chance of escaping blight.
1t will be easily apparent that the
method OF treatment given above
would effectually prevent an evil SO di-
sastrous to orchards, and prove OF great
value in making healthy trees.

Better Culture OF Corn.

Old settlers comparing present meth
DDS of corn cultivation with those OF the
past can see great Improvement. The
land is much better prepared, writes
james Wilson in the Iowa Homestead.
The stand is far more uniform.
There is more narrowing done.
Plowlng is done earlier and the
crop is laid by sooner. The average
yield, consequently, is better, and with
our present machinery to tend the crop
is made more cheaply. Sloughs are be-
ing gradually drained, which adds to
the capacity of old corn fields, In east
ern and central Iowa old pastures are
plowed up for growing corn and greater
yields had than on the virgin prairie.
We sell abroad but IS 900 900 bushels of
the 1900, ,000,00 raised. We are greatly
extending our area in corn, as well as
greatly improving methods of culture.
The aggregates will undoubtedly
grow greater. There is little encour-
agement held out to devote any of our
corn land to anything else. The wheat
growers OF the new west and of the
new south cannot change to other
crops. Their poverty compels them to
grow the readiest crop or. new land, and
that is wheat. The wheat grown over
the new prairie will before many years,
exhaust what grows it, and then we can
consider growing wheat In the older
settled counties of Iowa. The cheap
grain era seems to be upon us. Cheap
production is our closest ally just now.

Small fruit can be profitably raised in

Most varieties OF raspberries will

as it is my time to plant Strawberries
now, and we have just had good rain,
l will not try to describe the manner
of preparing the soil at present. 1t is
well described in the reports of the
Nebraska horticultural society for
1888, page l6S.
"What varieties of strawberries, rasp-
berries and currants are besty" This is
the hardest question of all to answer, as
so much depends on soil, cultivation
and care. If for slipshot care, would
go back to the wild strawberries, or per-
haps the Colfax, and as l progressed in
the art of cultivation l would take
Hovey's Seeding and Wilson's, and
further on in preparing the ground and
giving good care In summer and winter,
i would select better varieties. MIR.
