There is one class in the community
one patient, hardworking, long suffer
fng and accomplishing class-who never
strike for their rights. concerning whom
little is said, and yet who demand our
sympathy and our concern. We refer to
fathers. Mothers are adored in art ex-
plotted in literature, heralded in song and
embalmed in memory. If boy goes
safely through humps, measles and ma
ara, his mother Is commended for her
care of his physical life. If he does well
at school, the teachers are sure that he
has a sympathetic and judicious mother,
who spurs him on and keeps him to the
mark. If he becomes great man-great
anywhere, in politics craftsmanship, war
or engineering, no matter what-we are
told that his mother was an eminent wom-
an, and that he derived his intellectual
acumen and his moral balance from her.

There are new varieties OF border
plants introduced every year by florist ard
seedsmen. and some OF them are well
worthy OF trial. The variegated -leaved
coels has become very popular Tor this
purpose within the last few years, but
there is an old plant, recently introduced
for this purpose, that in some localities
has supplanted all other border plants,
and il is the white-leaved geranlum, Nine.
Salleroi 1t is one of the finest plants for
the border that one can plant The
habits of this geranium are different from
any other variety. 1t sends out innumer-
able little shoots from both root and
branch, forming itself into a beautiful com
pact little bushes, making il very deslr-
able border plant. They root easily from
cuttings, and besides separating each
branch they can be cut into two-inch
lengths, and planted in the border and
every slip will grow and form Symmetrical
clumps, the whole border averaging about
six inches high with nothing visible but
the deep green, whte-edged leaves. They
will stand hard wind, heavy rain and eN-
lremes OF temperature better than the
tender coleus. and retain their foliage un.
til late fall then lit the plants ana crowd
into boxes with a little more soil than Will
adhere to the roots, and store in the Gel
lar until spring, watering two or three
times during the winter, so the roots will
not dry out A few OF them potted make
very desirable window plants in winter
the foliage presenting more desirable
appearance on account OF luXuriance than
the scragy stemmed specimens one often
sees displayed in windows, of the coarser
varieties OF the geranium.
A beginner can start with one or TWO
small plants any time during the summer
keeping them in pots until the following
spring, when they can be divided and
planted in the border, making large
beautiful border with very little cost.
This variety never blossoms, or at least
never has for me: therefor all the plants

Farmers often undervalue the impor
lance of keeping the machinery they use
in their work in good condition. 1t should
be carefully housed under tight root
and parts which are liable to rust should
be given good coat Of oil. 1t is fact
that more machinery is rusted out on the
farms of the country than is worn out :;
and the item of loss from this scource Is
one of no small magnitude. A little care
in this direction will result in a consider
able annual saving where the farmers en-
ploy any considerable amount of machln-
cry in carrying on their work.

Protecting ROsebushes.

While the hardy, perpetual roses usually
endure our winters pretty well, they do
not always do so, especially when the
wood is not ri 1ened. 1t is a good plan
to prune the new wood rather severely at
this time Of the year and to shelter the
bushes by sticking evergreen boughs into
the ground around them so as to shelter
them from the wind and sun; this is bet
ter than trying to cover with earth, which
is not easily done when the bushes are
stiff. The same sort of covering is also
well adapted to Rhododendrons and other
half hardy shrubs that are sometimes IN
iured by our winters.

November is the month when the rush
of surplus poultry is made into mar ket.
This is due to desire to get rid of as
many fowls as possible before the winter
sets in, so as to save cost of food and
shelter, and also because it is an excellent
month for shipping, being neither too
cool or warm. Oicourse prices are lower
ed as a natural result of an overstocked
market, but there is one way to escape
low prices, which is to make your fowls
very fat, as the best is always sought first.

Dairy products, DIES 9ite all commercial
panics have held their price better than
any others This is partly, perhaps,
because the drouth in many sections les
sened the.production of milk. butter and
cheese. But it is true, also, that taking a
series of years together, dairy products
vary in price less than any others that the
farmer can produce, and the business is,
therefore, safer than most kinds of farm
ing. The product can be cheapened by
selecting the best dairy stock, and weeo-
ing out animals that prove inferior.

NEW YORK, April ia Washington
correspondent telegraphs the Evening
Post that as soon as Mr.. EckelS, the
Democratic comptroller of the currency,
assumes his duties. Secretary Carlisle
intends to reorganiZe the system of eX-
amining natiOaal banks. The secretary
has expressed the belief that there are
too many banks for the examiners to
look into, and, it is said. he has decided
to reduce their number. Banks are sup
posed to be examined annually, but un-
der the circumstances it is sometimes
more than year before an eXamln
alton of the books can be made. 1t is
probable that the states will be redis.
tricted, and the banks evenly divided
among the examiners. 1t is thought
that the secretary will not appoint any
examiners before June, and then the
appointees will be practical bankers.
He desires to prevent such dishonesty
as shown in the affairs of the banks
which recently failed in Boston, Phlla-
delphia and Nashville, and for that pur
pose, after making the redistricting,
will ask congress to enact a law giving
the examiners more power in looking
out for the perpetrators of frauds.
