He Will Take A Loug walk.

Chris Miller, known to the
sporting world as the "Hobo
ken Chicken" a smart little
bit of a man who despite his
German label halls rom the
Emerald isle, has conceived
a startling idea which he in
tends to carry out with two
weeks notice. Chris is fit-
ting up for a ranhle around
the confines the U. 8. He has
studied all the latest maps,
familiarizing himself with the
lay of the land, and in a few
days he will leave for New Or
leans to set ont upon his
journey, accompanied only
by q colored boy, a lot of his
own photographs, a mackin-
tosh, a pipe and some smok-
ing tobacco. Leaving New
Orleans about Nov. 1st, he
will strike out along the gulf
coast, the Rio Grande river,
and the United States boun-
Diary to the Pacific coa s t
which he will follow to Cali
fornia, to Portland, and to
the forty-ninth parallel Of lat
itude. Thence he will W a | k
to the head OF the greatlakes
and 80 on until his journey
is completed at the starting
point, New Orleans.
Miller figures that the walk
will occupy two years of his
valuable time, as he will av.
erage in fair country twenty
miles a day. No wager d e :
pends upon the time, and he
is not-ambitious to make a
record. His baggage will con.
sist of a knapsack contain.
ing the articles named. He
will not burden himself with

lay in a fresh supply at ev.

novice as a traveller, as he
has beer over the best part
of the world and he trusts to
his ability as a fluent talkeI

Effect Of Frost on Plants.


1t is not intense cold that
Injuries a plant. If a compar
atively tender kind could be
frozen up in autumn and con-
tinue in that condition until
spring had come, 30 t h a t
there would be no change of
condition during all OF that
time, it would be pretty like
ly to come through all right.
This uniformity of condi-
tiOn cannot be maintained
unless great pains are taken
to give protection before the
actual setting in OF cold
weather, and then not as per
tectly as we would be glad to
have it; but by shading and
breaking the effect of the sun
we can in a measure control
conditions, and this is what
we must aim at.
By keeping the sun fir o m
thawing out a frozen plant
we prevent the rupture of
cells which takes place when
conditions of cold and
warmth alternate in great
extremes. 1t will therefore be
readily understood that IN
protecting a plant we are not
trying to keep the frost from
it, for this cannot be done,
but we are trying to keep the
sun from undoing the work
that the frost has already
done.
Plants in the house are Of
ten frozen; but by thawing
them out gra lually t h ey
are often saved, and frequent
ly no great damage seems to
have been done. But if they
are Obliged to 20 through
this ordeal much in rapid sue
cess;on they are sure to die.
If outdoor plants can be
saved from the repetition of
a similar ordeal it is possible
to winter quite tender kinds
satisfactorily. If kinds whose
cells are strong enough t o
withstand the influence of al
ternate periods of cold and
warmth can be 80 protected
as to prevent them from be-
ing subjected to unnecessary
experience OF this kind, it
quite naturally follows that
they will confe through the
winter in a much stronger
condition than where they
are left exposed to our sud-
den ard frequent changes of
weather.
because OF this, | am an ad
vocate of protection for all
plants. 1t is absolutely nee
essary for tender kinds, and
advisable for the hardest

Mr.. Hall has had this idea in

years. The first long-distance
communication was effected
between Philadelphia and N.
Y. in 1855. 1t was shortly
after extended to New Eng
land States and then to Alba
ny and Buffalo. The ne K t
step was the construction OF
the line between Chicago and
Milwaukee. The work of ex-
tension was then carried east
through Eastern Pennsylva-
MIA, and a line was built from
Buffalo by way Of Erie to
Pittsburg. The extension to
Chicago followed. The diff

In making the baskets two or three

Immediately succeeding the bearing of a

plants do well if the work of transplant

the spade, shake off the earth without
pulling or tearing them, cut off such of
the roots as are over three or four inches

in diameter, spread these in setting

If the soil is dry, add an inch or two of
crumbled earth, and another inch or
two of fine manure. If necessary drench

Successful Strawberry Culture.

Mr.. William Saunders, superintend-
ent Of the gardens and grounds of the
agricultural department at Washington,
submitted, with some other papers on
horticultural subjects, the following to
the secretary Of agriculture:
The principal points involved in the
successful culture of the strawberry
are:
l. Prepare the ground by deep plow-
ing and subsoiling; apply a dressing
of rotted manure, equal to twenty cords
per acre; spread it over the surface,
and mix it with the soil by repeat
ed disintegration with harrow. The
best crops are produced on strong,
loamy soils. II somewhat clayey it will
be all the better, provided it is drained.
2. Allow the plants plenty of space,
the rows thirty inches apart and the
plants about half that distance between
each other in the rows.
3. Remove all runners as they appear,
and keep the surface pulverized and
clean. If young plants are wanted,
keep portion of the plantation for that
purpose.
4. Cover the plants in winter in all
localities where the thermometer may
run down to 10 dogs. Fahrenheit; this to
be done after the first frost, using straw,
leaves or other similar materials as a
partial protection.
8. Do not disturb the roots by any
process Of cultivation from the month
of September until after the crop has
been gathered the following summer.
6. Destroy the plantation after it has
produced its second crop, new ones be-
ing planted to succeed those that are
abandoned.

BUDDING.

The Process Plainly Described with the
Assistance of Appropriate illustrations.
The conditions of success are: i.
Healthy stock and scion free from in
Bects, and growing so that the bark will
peel easily. 2. The buds well matured.
8. The knife sharp. 4, The work done
rapidly. 5. The buds firmly and evenly
bound into place. No wax is needed.
Prepare lot of bud sticks as shown at

inch of the leaf stock. They should be
shoots of the seasons growth that are
not too succulent. The buds about
midway the length Of shoot are gen.
orally the best. Garry to the field
wrapped in moist cloth or oiled paper.
To insert the bud select n smooth
place ION the small stocks about two
inches from the ground) on the north
side. Make cross cut at this point,
and from it a longitudinal cut about 4
inches long; at the same time the bark
should be raised, as shown in Fig. 2. A
bud stick is then taken, and with the
sharp knife a cut is made Just through
the bark about one-half inch above the
bud, taking out a thin piece of wood
with the bark and bud, as shown in
Fig. A. For peaches, the whole bud
need not exceed one-half inch, while for
apples, ETC., the bud should be at least
one inch long.
After the bud is cut off the lower
point is inserted under the back at the
cross cut and gently pushed down by
the leaf stock.
After the bud is in place it should be
wrapped firmly and evenly into place.
One end of the tying material is held
below the bud with the left hand, and
the long end is wrapped, first upward
and then downward, over the bud, as
shown in Fig. 3, drawing it into place:
the ends are then tied together below
the bud. The bands should be watched,
and when they draw too tight loosened.
When the bud is united the bands
should be removed altogether. The buds
should remain dormant until the fol-
lowing spring, when the part of the
stock above the bud should be cut off
and the bud thus forced into growth.
Nothing is gained by budding plants
in June, for plant budded in August
will have made as large, if not larger,
growth in one year than June budded
plant Of the same season, and it will
make a straighter tree, says Samuel B.
Green in The Farm and Fireside, from
which the foregoing print and descrip-
ton are reproduced.

lican plurality of Sc, 900, cut down to
%, 900 in 1888. Two years ago it gave
democratic plurality of 10. 600. Iowa.
for three years in succession, has given
democratic pluralities. Wisconsin and
Michigan have democratic governors
and democratic legislatures, and the
success of the party in those two states
is well-nigh certain to give the denoc
racy control of the United States SEN
ate, and with it control of both
branches of congress and the executive
departm ent of government.
But these four states do not measure
the decadence of western republican,
ism, although they may be the limit of
the endeavors of the national democrat
ic organization. In Kansas, Nebraska,
Minnesota and North Dakota the repub-
ican party has been split in two by the
hostility of the farmers to class legisla-
ton with which republicanism is iden-
titled. It is doubtful in sthe three cor
uered struggle in progress in some of
these states whether republicanism can
maintain its hold upon all. The party
of the whole union proposes to make
the endeavor to bring all sections of
the country into accord with its great
purposes.
This new step does not involve any
impairment of energy in the state of
New York. This state gave over so, 900
democratic majority two years ago On
the national issues involved in the pres
ent ampaign. and it gave so, 600 demo
cratic maj ority last year, when the re-
publican candidates especially sought
to save themselves by evading national
issues, which they wisely foresaw
would heap up even higher,if discussed,
the democratic majority of the state.
New York is democratic, so strongly
and overpoweringly democratic, that
it reaches out the hand of aid to the
party in the west which has won pro-
portionately greater victories even
than those which give the absolute as
surance of success in New York.-Al-
bany Argus.
