HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

Potash applied to fruit trees wiz
have a marked effect 1t is claimed
that it will decrease the acid in the
fruit.
If your trees do not grow, before you
blame the nurseryman be sure that
you are not at fault IN the manner of
planting them.
THERE is now a waterproof bag,
with instantaneous attachment, for
covering grapes to protect them from
birds, blight, insects and mildew.
REMEMBER that London purple or
paris green in solution may be used
with good effect upon the apple trees
Spray first just as the fruit is forming
and perhaps a couple of weeks later
Butter Pays Better Than Cheese
A creamery can be established and
carried on at much less cost and with
fewer cows than is necessary to mako
cheese making profitable, and again
the process of butter-making is much
simpler and more easily acquired than
that of cheese making. The butter
made and packed is ready for market.
while cheese requires weeks and
months of careful handling and mani
agement before it can be put on tho
market and command a remuneratiSe
price. The season for cheese-making Is
limited, while butter can be made dur
ing nine months of the year In tho
creameries- Rural Canadian.

page Of history; and Grant is there. a
shadowy picture in the background at
first, but soon to take the leadership of
that vast array. Like two huge. angry
monsters, those great armies lie. but
thirty miles apart.
On a plateau, two miles from the
Landing. stood log Westinghouse
known as Shiloh Church. which has
given its name to the bloody battle
fought near its peaceful walls.
Smith was in the throes Of death. and
Grant was in command, with Sherman
for his staunch right hand, while on the
other side of the river Buell. with forty
thousand men was but a few miles dis
tant.
And Beauregard and Johnston at
Corinth knew that their only hope was
to crush Grants army before Buell.
could reach it.
On the third of April the Southern
host stole noiselessly from their strong
hold, and on the fifth campcd on the
wet gound, without fires, at q spot
scarce a mile from the Federal pickets.
At dawn on Sunday morning. while
Grant. little suspecting the danger that
threatened him, had crossed the river to
consult Buell.. the storm burst; for
hardly had the pail of night lifted than
from the woods poured forth the South
ern hosts on the astounded pickets.
At eight o'clock Grant returned to
gaze with sadness on a battle almost
lost, and which. but for Sherman's gal
liant bearing, would have been an alb
sOlute rOut.
At noon the entire Federal army had
been driven from their camp. and were
crowded into space of little more than
four hundred acres on the verge of the
bluff overlooking the Landing. towards
which they were rushing in wild con-
fusion

CAMPBELL TO MCKINLEY.

Gov. Campbell, in his debate with Mckinley, at Ada, Ohio, said; "I want Major Mckinley, when he re- plies, to tell this audience where those workingmen are who have got better wages under his tariff. In this country there have been more than 800 great manufacturing estab- lishments which have reduced wages since the passage of the Mckinley bill, and don't know one that has increased them. In the iron indus try we have had more strikes which were unsuccessful since the passage of that bull than in three years be- fore. l hold in my hand list of thirty establishments, including Car negie's, working iG, 300 men, in which organized labor has been ban ished. will ask the ma jor if he fa- Vors the hanlshmeht or organized la hor from the great factories of the country. l have said before that the United States Glass Company organ ized since the passage of the Me Kinley bill, and which has thrown out of employment already 300 men, is a trust say now that they are a trust by their own confessions.

To control the product was what they organized for, and they don't like to he called trust, because trust is an unpopular word in this

"Free Sugar" :"

At Bowling Green, Wood county, Ohio, the other day, Gov. Campbell was interrupted in speech by re- quest for something about free sugar, of which he had in another speech spoke as humbug. Gov. Camp bell never lodges, and he replied as follows: Il did say free sugar is a humbug, and Pll tell you why. They took thet ttariff off of sugar, and sugar went down. That proves, l suppose, that the tariff isn't tax Laugh ter So far free sugar is good thing. It's pity they hadn't car ried the idea further. Applause. But they didn't reduce the expenses of the government any, and they had to raise the tariff on other things to make up the deficiency, so that while you are saving S55, ,00O,- oOo per year al tne sugar counter you walk across the store and pay it all out again, and more too, in in creased prices of woolens, glass, china, tin, Tiaughter and other things, More than that, they pay the American sugar growers a , cent bounty on every pound of sugar they raise, and there's an entirely new expenditure of l2,000,0 ,000 you have got to meet. How is that for humbug?" Laughter and applause. Nobody desired any more informa- ten on free sugar. "-ArkanSas G. Zpttp

A Point for Wage Workers.

The National Provisioner, noting the increase of immigration since the Mckinley bill went into effect, says {: 1t proves signally the fallacy of protection and high wages. It will result in more competition to the manual laborer, who while he cannot make a hving on the European soil. owing to the starvation wages which are neccssitated by sharp competi- ton, can, however, work for less money than the American workman since he is accustomed to live cheap CT, eat less meat, etc. We are fast drifting towards starvation wages and pauper labor! Not owing to free trade, however, but to 'protec- ton. "
 There is great deal in this for workingmcn who vote to sustain high protection to think of. The condi- ton of wage workers in the protect ed industries is growing worse and worse. Yet, "American industry has been protected" up to an aver age of 51 per cent. on dutiable arti- cles. What does the wage worker get out of it but increased poverty = Exchange.

Alliance Lecturer Bryan.

Few persons in the large audience present at the speaking last Thurs day who heard Alliance Lecturer Bryan refer so feelingly to Jefferson, Benton and other Democratic heroes, imagined for a moment that the speaker was an old abolitionist, a North Methodist preacher, and a supporter of Harrison and protection as late as 1888. Such is understood to he part of hia political history by reputable citizens living in Wash ington county, the home of Bryan, where within seven miles of Fay ettvile he owns and operates saw mill, It will be sorry day for the Democracy when such men as he in duces the rank and file of the party to desert their standard and espouse the cause which he represents. His object is to divide the Democracy that Republicans may profit by their administration. Watch Mir. Bryan. - Russelville Democrat.

HUMBUG OF RECIPROCITY.

The ways of Protectionism are very dark and devious, and there are many of them. For example, we find the following in the Chicago News:
 The most inconsistent feature of modern Democratic doctrine is that it condemns Mir. Blaine's reciprocity policy, and in the same breath de clares as Mir. Watterson has done, that the reciprocity policy is free trade in homeopathic doses. Would it not be we'll for MT. Watterson and his extreme free trade allies to stop reviling the Republicans for what the Democrats consider right? Or is this merely another instance of Democratic uncasiness be- cause its historic enemies have ven tured to do right without asking the permission of the Watterson- Carlisle clique?"
 Turning from this, we find the Chicago Inter Ocean repeating it and indorsing it as "a timely lecture" ;" yet quoting Mir. Gladstone as saying that "rcciprocity is protecting of virulent type.
 Next comes the Pittsburg Commer- cial Gazette, which describes Reci- procity as ''the free exchange of non competitive products, which at present constitute more than one half the total volume of American imports, adding that "reciprocity furthermore means duties on con- petitive goods and this is not free trade" Yet, in the face of all this halr- splitting these journals accuse us of inconsistency because we ven ture to look reciprocity in the mouth and decline to consider it gift horse. Indeed, the Commercial-G Ga zette, still harping on the same string with the Inter Ocean and News, goes on to say:
 "While Col Watterson was in Chi cago recently, he was quoted as say ing that 'Blaines' reciprocity scheme is only another name for free trade in homeopathic doses. But the New York Democratic platform calls it 'Blaine's reciprocity humbug.' These two high Democratic authorities do not agree. If reciprocity is free trade, even in small doses, how can it be humbug, since in the estima- ton of Democratic opinion free trade is the essence of economic wisdom :"
 There is no conflict among Demo- crats at all. Reciprocity is free trade Tn broken doses" and it is 'protection of virulent type" and because It is both, it is "humbug." It lets in certain objects privately agreed on, free. That is free trade. Then, by the high duties it imposes through tariff schedules on other ar ticles it is protection. In other words, to those who want free trade, it is a free traded, and to those who want protection, It is a protectionist. Thus to any gentleman up tree it is a "humbug." In other words it is a make believe, a sham, a double deal CT. But, all the same, it is an excel lent object lesson, showing on the one hand that the tariff is a tax, and on the other hand, revealing the value of free trade as far as it goes. -T Courier Journal

Love is utter folly,

 So the poets say. Loves an airy bubble,
 Loves a ficklc flame, But despite its trouble,

upon a tree, which as the driver as- sured him it was the only one within miles, showed that they had been travelling in circle. The cold night air and the sensation of being lost had overcome the young lady and she had become unconscious. The sound of the horn had reached much further than the dim light from the window, and following that, they had at last found their way to the mill.
 Teddy went with them as a guide to house about a mile away, where with a farmer and his wife the travellers found shelter for the night.
 The next morning Teddy called to inquire after the health of the young lady and found her quite re- covered and anxious to continue her journey.
 Judge Hart, for such was the gen. tleman's name, thanked his young friend for his kind services to him self and daughter, and after many good. byes and kind wishes they started on their way.
 That they reached home safely Teddy was assured by lengthy let ter from the judge, inviting him to visit them at their home in Chicago, and conveying very friendly mes sage from his daughter, Pauline.
 From this time Teddy began to grow restless; he lost all interest in cornet practice, and even his mill was an old story. We offered him what little consolation we could, but what comfort can lot of men be to a poor lad who is genuinely home sick?
 A month later when his time was out none of us were surprised, that instead of staying five years, he "proved up," sold his windmill and went ''back to civilization, as he expressed it.
 Six weeks later followed him, a gainer in health and strength if not in pocket and the first ceremony upon which l oiliciatcd upon my re- turn was wedding at tue beautiful home of Judge Hart. 1t was very grand affair assure you; there were six bridesmaids, and the groom'S fa- vors to them were tiny gold wind mills studded with little diamonds. "Such an odd concit," l heard one of the pretty bridesmaids say. There were many happy hearts and faces there, but l particularly recall the tender smile upon stern Deacon An drews' handsome face as his son sol emnly pronounced the words; "l Laurence, take thee, Pauline, to be my welded wife Pauline had been Teddv's mothers name.
 Ii is now five years in May since Teddy went to Dakota. Great changes have taken place there since then. Comfortable farm houses have replaced most of the shanties; good sized trees break the monotony of the once bare prairie, and the rank buffalo grass has given place to the finest wheat fields in the United States. Two, at least, of Teddy schemes have been carried into exc. cution; an artesian well, tales ol whose wonderful flow have given the newspapers many sensational item now waters the plain; and coa shaft, yielding an abundance of good bituminous coal, has really been sunk upon his claim. His coal mine ha, made for him thousands of dollars but he says no possession of his car ever bring him anything that vii compare in value with the treasure brought him by his windmill.

Bismarck Tribune: That the settlers of
North Dakota are taking advantage of the
tree bounty law is attested by the number
of trees and cuttings shipped from Bis
marck this season. James Holland, who
has been engaged in the tree business for
the past three years. states that thus far
this season he has shipped over 100000
trees and 100000 cuttings to different
points in the state, and that he has orders
for more than that amount to fill this fall.
He thinks that he will be able to double
his business next year. 1t is good in
dication, at least, that the people of this
state are becoming interested in the future,
and with few favorable seasons Dakota g
plains will have enough timber standing
to break the monotony of the landscape
and furnish fuel for her settlers.
