HORTICULTURE.

Few people have any conception Of
the proportions 10 which Horticulture has
grown in this country. Not many
houses in this country, whether in the
city, town or in the rural districts, but
that are in some WAY and TO some ex-
tent adorned with flowers during the
floral period. and in many they are
permanent feature. The taste for flow
ers, while inherent with most persons.
Is yet developed by associations and edu-
cation. And to such an extent has this
been carried that the cultivation of
flowers as an industry of profit has
grown and developed until it has become
an important one, so much so that the
census bureau found it worthy of .
place in its collections Of industrial data.
From bulletin No. 90 it is learned that
while Horticulture has been carried on as
a business In this country for upward OF
one hundred years. it is only within the
past twenty-five years that il has as
stunned large proportions. Out OF total
of 4 ,65a establishments :. .95 were started
between 1870 and 1890, and of these

Among civilized nations the wearing
OF earrings by men has been by 10 means

any way offensive even by suggestion
The New York Story club, to which
credit is due for these excellent selec-

FARMING IN THE FUTURE
From the Sumner County Press.


Mr.. G. Wood Davis, of Sedgwick
county. has another very able article in
the arena, on "The Wheat Supply of
Europe and America" He asserts that
there can be no material additions to
the acreage from the development of
new lands, while continuous and rapid
decrease is certain in the older districts.
The conclusion urged by Mr.. Davis is
that the era of cheap bread and world
wide agricultural depression will end
and the price of wheat and all other
farm products reach a higher level than
that known during and Immediately
after the civil war; land, with the
advent of such prices. the many millions
of people employed or supported on the
farms of the United States, now buying
so little of the products of shop, mill and
factory, will have the means of increas-
ing their purchases many fold, giving
business of all kinds an impetus not
known since the close of such period of
high prices, and cause an activity in the
exchange of products the younger half
of the business community has little con-
ception Of"

Almost from the day he assumed the
reins of government the young emperor
of Germany has manifested disposition
to be dogmatic, but it was generally
credited to the idea Of heredity. 1t has
become an open secret now, however,
that the real cause of his eccentricities
is mainly altogether different: that in
fact, to be plain, he is in danger of
dying drunkard's death. His drinking
habits are attracting attention, and at a
recent banquet he drank ten toasts, and
talked incoherently. His actions are
unaccountable at times. He will soon
go to Wartburg to shut himself up in
the room in which Luther saw the devil.
Whether he wants to see the ghost of
Luther or the devil, or whether he
simply wants to sober off, nobody can
