Governor Russell Reelected by . Hand
some Majority.
Boston, Nov. 3.-On account of the
new law requiring the votes to be
counted by two different officials, re-
turns are coming slowly. Returns from
fifty country towns show net Repub-
lican gain OF 70S. On this basis the
Republican gain in the state will be
4,942. Last year Governor Russell's
pluralities in the state was 9058.
Indications so far from the large cities
are that he has held his pluralities of
last year and is elected by at least 1000
plurality. The balance OF the Repub-
lican state ticket is undoubtedly elected.
1t is impossible to give an idea of the
complexion of the legislature.
Governor Russell (Dem.) estimates
his majority at 5000. Corcoran Dem }
for lieutenant-governor is confident of
his own election. The Journal and Ad-
vertiser. both Republican, concede Rms
sells election.

School Election in St. Louis.

ST.. LOUIS, Nov. 3.-The only feature
OF general interest in the election today
for school board was charges of gross
corruption, and hot campaign was
elected last fall. The board was charged
with misusing school funds, and in some
instances expending money to pay off
private debts. No state officers were
elected. At o'clock returns point to
the defeat of the old board.

Five Tickets in the Field-No Definite
Returns.


DENVER, Nov. 3.-.!The election was
the most peaceful ever held in Denver.
Five tickets were in the field, Demo
cratic, Republican, Prohibition, Peo-
ple's party, Peoples non-partisan, the
first two polling most of the
votes. No state officers were
voted for except chief justice
of the supreme court. Reports from
various parts of the state indicate that
the election passed off quietly. In many
places mixed tickets were chosen. 1t
will be very late before definite returns
are in. There is, however, no doubt Of
the election of Judge Helen (Republican)
to the chief justiceship. The Republican
central committee claim the county by
$500. 1t is impossible to get any state
returns tonight.

Culture For Corn.

Corn roots do not run deeply and can
not be made to by any way of cultiyating.
The plant loves the warmth, and so the
whole tendency of cultivation is to keep as
near the surface as possible and destroy
the weeds. The old-fashiOned practice of
running a common pillow, turning furrow
from the middle to the rows, was injurious
in two ways. 1t left the centre of the rows
bare, where more of the feeding roots are
found, and piled earth against the stalks,
rotting the brace roots on which they de
pend for support against winds. Even If
only two or three inches of earth are
thrown against the stalks it is injurious.
1t is more i'm proportion to the size OF the
plant than the two or three feet of earth
piled around large fruit trees, which al
most invariably kills them. Besides, the
fruit tree roots are often found two or
three feet below the surface, showing that
it is not the depth of earth that Kills the
tree, but its inability to suddenly adapt
itself to new conditions. 1t is certain that
corn. which makes its entire growth, in
GLIDING ripening in hundred days, or lit
tie more, cannot adapt itself to new con-
ditions so readily as can trees that have re-
NAMED in the same position several years.
Hence, in cultivating corn, especially after
midsummer, scratch the surface rather
than dig deeply, and leave the surface as
nearly level as possible.-Amertcdn Cutt-

mnrvestIng the Forest.

Never before have the forests in this
part of the state suffered so severely from
the mbermans axe as during the past fall
and winter, and the work is still in pro-
greSs in almost every neighborhOod where
there is valuable timber left. The woods
are full of steam saw-mills and teams are
busy hauling logs to them or conveying the
lumber to the depOts. The cars go daily
heavily loaded with boards, timber, bark,
pulp-wood and various products of the for
est At the ordinary rate at which the
lumber used to be cut, our forests were
Well-nigh ineXhaustible; contrary to the
common belief that this would soon result
IN their final destruction, the forests
seemed to be hardly diminished by the de-
mand made upon them for 80 years. The
supply from the new growth was nearly or
quite equal-in some towns more than
equal-to what was removed; but with the
present extent of forest raiding it is only a
question of how long a time it will take to
exhaust the supply of valuable timber.

Weather Reports and Crop Cor

Weather Reports and Crop Conditions.
The report of the New England MeteOro-
logical society for the week ending June
) shows that the temperature during the
week was about normal. With one eX-
ception the nights were cool, and on the
morning of the 9TH a slight frost occurred
over nearly all New England. Very little
damage is reported from it, however, be-
cause the valleys, where the temperatures
were lowest and where the frost would
have been the most severe. were generally
covered with fog. In places the tempera-
ture went below the freezing point of
water. The precipitation was about nor
NAL, except in Maine, southeastern Massa-
chusetts, Rhode Island and eastern Con-
necticut. 1t has been the most favorable
Week of the season for crops. Grass has
taken wonderful start, and if the weather
Is not unfayorabe during the remainder of
the month good hay crop will be secured.
The observer at Brattleboro states: "a

Is well up and being hoed; garden truck,

report from Burlington is that the cOntn-

The passion for flowers fourishes ia
mously in this country, according to the
statistics of Horticulture furnished by the
census bureau. 1t appears that there are
about 5000 establishments in the United
states engaged in raising plants and flow
cr,. and of these upward of 300 are owned
and conducted by women. Forty million
dollars are invested in the industry, and
nearly 10000 persons employed in it. The
products during the census year were val
ucd at 5000, 000-S12, 100000 for shrubs
and plants and $4,000, 900 for cut flowers.
Among the products were nearly $4,000, 600
roses The fact that four-ffths of all this
business has been developed within the last
20 years, and that the number of estab-
lishments has nearly doubled within the
past 10 years, indicate that the flower trade
is experiencing remarkable growth, and
and that it finds ample support among our
people.

Professor Munson of the Maine expert
ment station is engaged in experiments on
an extensive scale for the prevention of
scab on apples. His work is being done in
the large orchards of the state, those being
selected that have been frequently and seri-
ously affected by this trouble. Spraying
the trees with different mixtures for the
destruction of the fungus is the course pur-
sued. Different sections of the orchard are
treated with the different mixtures believed
to be etficacious in killing the fungus spores
that are supposed to find Judgment on the
trees. The first application was made
when the leaf buds first showed signs of
breaking into growth, and the spraying is
to be repeated several times during the
summer. This course of treatment has been
very effective in destroying the mildew of
the grape in the vineyards of New York
and other grape producing sections of the
country, and much is expected from it with
the tree fruits when the proper mixtures
and methods called for are fully learned.
Later in the season similar experiments
will be undertaken for the destruction of
insects which prey on the fruit.

More and more emphasis is being laid
among good farmers on the necessity of
keeping the weeds down, and the ground
well stirred among all growing crops. This
fits the land to absorb all the fertilizng ele-
mcnts in the air, the rainfall and the dew.
The experiment stations are teaching us
that soil made light absorbs large amounts
OF nitrogen, which is the most expensive
element that farmers have to pay for when
they buy commercial fertilizers. Not only
does it help in that way to promote the
growth of the crop, but there is another
important point. The earth beneath three
or four inches of well-stirred soil will con-
tain more moisture in a season of drought
or wet weather than it would if the surface
We're left unstirred. The warmth of the
surface soil seems to draw up moisture
from below, even as the lighting of the
lamp draws the oil up through the wick.
And where there are no weeds to deprive
the crop of moisture or fertility, the injury
from dry weather is much less than it would
be if weeds were growing.
