Work for the Experiment Stations.
Prof. Baily in american Garden says:
1t may be a surprise to many to learn that
the world still possesses great numbers of
wholly wild species of plants which give
promise OF yielding important edible parts
II once brought under the hand of the cul-
tlvator. In fact. there is every reason to
believe that more edible fruits and kitchen
vegetables are still unknown to cultivation
than are now grown by man. DIR. Masters
declares that There are more vegetables to
be had for the search than are at presentin
USE" The difficulty is rather in overcoming
the prejudice against new edibles and in
getting them cultivated, than in discover
ing them" There are only about $50
species Of plants cultivated for food for
man among civilized peoples, yet the
United States possesses within its borders
certainly IS wild species worthy of cultiva-
ton and Improvement. In truth, America
has SO many wild plants of economic
promise, that it appears to be safe to say
that if the cradle of the race had been
rocked in the Mississippi valley the world
would now have been far richer than it is
in edible plants. Already our own woods
have given US great treasure All our
grapes of outdoor culture, all our raspber-
ries, blackberres, cranberries, best goo ,eber-
ries, and possibly our strawberries, have
been improved from wild plants of our
woods and fields. A new race of plUms and
of currauts, indigenous to our soil, are now
gaining prominence. And the untried re-
sources in the way of wild grapes, plums,
cherries, wortleberries, currants, goose
berries, and other things, are numerous. 1t
is certainly not bold prophecy to say that
another century will bring many species of
fruits into common use of which we now
know nothing. The last half century of
progress in American horticulture is of it
self sufficient warrant for such statement.
One of the best measures of the status of
a science is to be found in its vocabulary.
Judged by this measure, the science of hor-
ticulture is yet in first Infancy. Its terms
are for the most part vague and inadequate,
ations, capable of expression in substant-
| i've, must be conveyed in a bungling
phrase. 1t is not to be supposed that this
meager vocabulary means that the laws of
| horticulture are past finding out, or that
ability is lacking to discern them. 1t only
| illustrates the fact, patent in so many direc-
tions, that the best talent has given tc
agricultural professions less freely than to

Northern Farmers on Southern Farms.

Northern Farmers on Southern Farms.
What odd and unexpected changes time
produces! Years ago, for example, says the
New York Herald, the New Hampshire
and Vermont farmers were among the
most independent and thrifty folks on the
continent Farming in New England now
adays, however, is a constant source of
grind and encouragement. The soil has
grown stubborn and the mortgage has
increased. If the grandfathers of the
present generation in Vermont and New
Hampshire had been told that their chill
dren's children would pull up stakes and
colonize in different parts of the south they
would have raised their hands in horror
But the war is over, we are one people, and
our young men receive an equal welcome in
all parts of the country. There is some diff
ference between blowing round the rocks on
a New England farm with a pair of oxen
and turning up the rich soil on a Mississippi
plantation with couple of mules So the
south invites colonists, AID good many
farmers sons are leaving the north with
the hope of making their fortunes.

Planting Grape Vines.

When II grape vine is to be planted the
ground should be dug. or spaded up to the
depth of eighteen inches and at least three
feet in di ameter, says writer in the Rural
Home. If the soil is not OF the proper ma
ture, it is best to remove it and refill the ex-
cavation with mixture of one-half light
turty soil from which sods have been re-
moved, one-fourth we'll rotted stable
manure, and the remainder of lime rub
bish; to this may be added quart of bone
dust. The vine should be set no deeper than
it originally grew ana the roots spread in a
natural position. The grape will take con-
siderable water when i'll a growing state,
but it must pass off quickly or the growth
will be retarted by the tendency of the
feeding roots to water-rot. 1t is imperative
that the position where the vine is planted
be such as will enable it to get sunlight for
the most part of the day. Grape vines
having northern exposure, where little if
any sunshipe reaches. do not have suf-
ticient light penetrating the foliage to
mature the fruit and prevent diseased Incl
dent to grapes in damp situations.
There is much misconception on The part
of amateurs as to what should be the age
of grape vine when pla lated. Many per-
sons when purchasing order vines three or
four years old, thinking thereby to obtain a
crop of fruit sooner than by taking younger
plants. In this they will find themselves
mistaken. If vine of that age could be
properly lifted with all the roots unbroken,
then there might be some advantage in its
otan. - L.
grown in the nurseries closely together,
with roots interlaced, large plants can
rarely be got with roots enough to support
the vine and maintain its vigor after trans
painting. AS rule, it is better to plant one
or two-year old vines, which can usually be
bought at half the price of those of three
OF tour years growth, and which, in all
probability, will give crop quite as soon
as the large ones, if not sooner.
On securing the vine from the nursery it
may consist of one or more shoots, but on
planting these should all be cut back, leaving
only two buds or eyes. When the plant
starts but one shoot should be allowed to
grow; by leaving but one the whole
strength Of the vine will be directed to the
support of it, and the result will be fine
thrifty vine which will arrive at function
much earlier than if several others we're al
lowed to grow beside it.
Train this shoot to an upright stake the
nrst year. The next year, when the leaves
lalI, cut it back to foot in hight. When
Vhe next spring growth starts, rub off all
Cne eyes but two, and train the shoots grow
tng therefrom to stakes as before. Vines
mus treated will bear fruit the third year,
uut should not be allowed to mature more
man three punches each at this age.
Il heavy top dressing of stable manure
should be applied to grape vines in the fall,

Spoiled tl,e Fisl,ing.

An old man with a great deal of
straw hat and perseverance was
fishing from a wharf near tho foot
of Fourteenth street day or two
ago when a boy came along and
asked the usual question about luck.
"Nun yer bizncss!n growled the
old man. "You jest canter right
away from hercl / never git sot
down to fish that somebody don't
come along to spilc my luclll"
The boy moved off a few feet and
leaned against a timber, to whittle
a stick, and it wasn't five minutes
before some careless action on his
part landed him in the water with
a great splash. He hung TO a pile
and yelled, and the old man got a
long pole and pulled him up, but
the lad had only reached the wharf
when he was taken by the collar
and foot commenced to play on
him, and the old man shouted:

The Lesson of Vermont.

st. Louis Globe Democrat, Rep.
The returns from Vermont tell a
story to which the wise Republican
will be constrained to listen. 1t
would be useless as well as criminal
to deny that the situation through-
ont the country is as far from being
encouraging TO the Republicans.
In all the elections held within the
pastfew weeks the party lost ground.
All the Indications point to turn
ing of the tide against the Republic
cans. Whether this change is to
extend to the>November election or
not is a matter which is largely in
the power of the Republican leaders
in Congress to determine. The
prompt and effective correction of
the errors in the tariff measure and
the complete and honest relinquish-
ment Of any purpose 70 ever bring
up the election bill again would hold
the party in harmony with the
people. But in any case this is no
time for the Republican press to be
silent. Every Republican newspap-
er should talk plainly and fearlessly
and point out the actual situation
to its readers.

Then and Now.

When Grover Cleveland had been
President of the United States for a
short time, in the course of duty he
ordered certain rich corporations,
owning vast quantities of cattle,
trespassers upon the public domain,
to leare. A representative commit
tee of the corporations called on
him for a modification of the execu-
tive order, stating they represented
forty millions of capital that would
"suffer great losses, and they wished
TO have the time of removal extend
cd" The Presidents answer was.
"Gentlemen, you have lost two days
of valuable time" The cattle were
removed.
"Now, the same corporations are
ordered by Harrison to remove their
cattle from the ''Cherokee Strip" by
October 1. The representative OF
forty millions goes to Washington
and sees the President. Harrison,
himself a lifelong corporation law
yer, hears the statement of the forty
millions by the carrying out of his
order they would "suffer great loss
es, and they wished to have the
time of removal extended" The
President could not look forty mil
lions in the face without fiinching.
The order is half the
cattle are to be removed by Novem-
Der /, the remainder by December
/. Will not these corporations sub
nit to a great deal of fat frying in
return for SO valuable "modifica-
ton" of an executive order?

"Tom Reed is fraud and McKin-

quoting this; the Boston Herald, an
Independent Republican paper says:
"Rather emphatic, these words are.

ated if they came from Democrat,

publican. He wasn't little man,

than Mr.. Joseph A. Brown, of the

1t IS no longer denied-because It
cannot be-by even the most reclx-
less high tariff advocates, that Amer
lean manufactures of many kinds
are sold cheaper to foreigners than
to the people of the United States.
Further denial being hopeless in
the face of the foreign and homo
price lists of these manufacturers,
the high tariff men are now attempt-
ing TO defend this practice. The
compensation which the original
protectionists offered for the exclu-
sion of foreign goods and the rise
in the price of homemade goods was
that protection would ultimately
make homemade goods cheaper in
the home market than foreign goods
could be even if admitted free.

Huntington Advertiser.
The Republican majority in the
lower House of Congress have turn
ed out another Democrat and given
hts seat to Republican. This time
it is Col. Venable of the 4th Con-
gressional District of Virginia. and
the man seated was Langston, a
negro. The district is Republican,
but Langston ran as an independent
against the regular Republican
nominee, and there being two Re-
publicans in the field Venable was
elected. There was no pretense Of
fraud or intimidation, and Col. Ven
able had clear plurality of six
hundred over Langston, yet he was
unseated at the dictation of Reed
and his gang. This is one Of the
most shameful acts OF the entire ses-
sion, and G. Brooks Smith, who mis-
represents this district, was a party
to it. He voted to unseat yenable.
and the people will condemn him
for it at the polls in November by
voting for Farmer Capehart.

Mills, in his speech at Mexico,
Mo-, recently, grew vehement and
truly eloquent when he said: "a
bold wretch. occupying one of the
highest positions in the government,
who tramples under foot the rights
of minorities and thanks God for
the opportunity, has made of the
peoples representative body a mill
tary camp in which the subordina-

Saxon spirit which has dethroned
kings and broken scepters will teach
him the lesson which it has taught
every usurper who has attempted
to curb it."
