Because frost has destroyed most of
the flowers and the tender vegetables,
it does not follow that all garden work
for the season is ended. There is yet
much to do; in fact, there are but few
days in the year that some work in
the garden cannot be proftably done.
We do not always work for the pres
emit only, and quite as much depends
upon our preparations as upon making
of our gardens. To be ready when the
time come with all our plans and ap-
planes is to find the garden nearly
completed. The first garden requisite
is manure, which should be furnished
with liberal hand and long before
wanted. in order that it may become
thoroughly composted. In this state
too much cannot well be employed,
and in this state it must be for root
crops in order to have them smooth al

About the Osier willow.

We do not doubt that the willow
crop can be grown successfully and
with profit, though prices of willow
have greatly declined within the past
ten years. 1t is important to get the
right kind of willow. The true osier
makes very long, slender shoots in
single season and without branches.
A willow plantation in moist ground
will last for years, but care must be
taken to cut SO as to leave six to eight
or ten buds for next years growth. If
not cut down in the fall each bud on
the whole length of last years shoot
will make short shoot and the plan
tation will be ruined. No matter how
low the price, the crop must be cut
and disposed of. 1t is likely that on
account of low prices year ago some
plantations will be given up. The
willow is very bulky crop and should
be grown near where it is to be manu-

Sure to Make an Annual Increnss in the
Price OF thu Farm.
Plant first an abundant and diverse
supply of fruit trees for home use, for
there is as much profit in this as in
those planted for sale, but plant
neither unless you intend to cultivate
and feed them. 1t is useless and
wasteful to do otherwise When about
to put out fruit trees do not wait for
some lying agent to come along and
tell you what you want and ask you a
high price for them. but study trust
worthy catalogues and search out the
best varieties and send for them.
Neither is it policy ever to buy sec
onds, even for the sake of saving a
few cents. They take up as much
room, grow more slowly and amount
to less in the end.
The city fathers provide shady parks
and sheltered streets, but many a
farmer plants his house in the open
field and gives his wife and children
not single tree. Does he never long
for the shade and the grass himself
after his long stay in the sunny field?
Let there be thought of the beauty
of it. If there is no signing for comfort.
Oaks are hard to transplant, but the
pin oak and the swamp oak are ex-
ceptions. Nearly all birches and ma
pies are easily removed. Set them
about the dooryard and for shade IL
the barnyard, that they may lend an
air of thrift and foresight to the home.
While at it, place some of them that
they may grow in convenient place

You may not live to cut the wood,
but plant an acre or more of timber on
your farm every year, anyway. They
will make an annual increase il the

years an acre of tim Der. if of the right
varie ties, can be made to equal in

The Hor.eradish Crop.

The horseradish crop starts new
growth with the first warm days, and
if the crop was not fully harvested in
the fall it should be got out in early
spring. There is a necessity for har-
vesting all the horseradish, for if left
the second year the roots lose their
flavor and become tough aud stringy.
1t is not necessary, however, where
there is permanent horseradish bed
to get out all the small roots deep in
the soil. These are already planted.
and if the land is rich enough will
make a good crop for next year.

richer the better-though it had bet

SUGAR TRUST SCHEMES.
contradictory Statements of Conscience
less Republican Reneficiaries.


less Republican Beneficiaries.
Nr, H. o. Havemeyer, president OF
the sugar trust, has renewed his at
tacks on the new tariff law. He is
| shutting down refueries, and explains
his action by saying that the refining
business is suffering from the blight
OF free trade. He adds that If sugar
is put on the free list the business viii
be ruined entirely.
We are afraid Mr. Havemeyer is put
ting Our republican friends into an
| embarrassing position. They like 10
hear people prating of the blight OF
free trade. and the temptation is
strong to agree with them. They like
to hear it said that the German tariff
is wrecking industries and throwing
| laborers out of employment 1t is
| their business to encourage such talk,
and to give it circulation, even when
they have every reason to believe it
| wholly untrue.
In this case. however. there are some
circumstances that render it inconven-
| lent to assent to Mr.. Havemeyer's as
sertions- They have for months been
denOuncing the new tariff law as a
| trust bill, and with special reference
! to the sugar trust. They have affirmed
| over and over again that the sugar
trust dictated the sugar schedule
When it was pointed out that the new
law, while conceding too much to
| the trust, was far less favorable to
it than the Mckinley bill, they made
feeble efforts to dery it or else re-
sorted to silence on that point and to
| a reitern zion of the statement that the
German bill was a trust bill. They
| predicted that sugar would go up. and
when it went down they said that the
trust was keeping down the price in
| order to help the democrats
Now, if our repu bllcan friends agree
| with Mr.. Havemeyer that the sugar re-
| tining business is feeling the blight of
| free trade, how will they explain to
| their readers the miles of labored ed
| itorials in which they affirmed that the
sugar trust dictated d tariff for it's own
| benefit? If. on the other hand, they
| refuse to believe what MIR. Havemeyer
says of the blight of free trade, they
discredit the whole class of their
| proteges, who insist that the reduced
tariff is injuring their business. MIR.
| Havemeyer is just as credible as the
| why should we credit similar state
| Inents from other sources?
The shutting down of the refneries
| is timed to take place just as congress
| reassembles. Congress has before it a
| bill to put sugar on the free list.
While this may not pass. owing to the
| requirements of the revenue, there is
| a proposition to amend it by striking
| out the differential tax of one-eighth
of a cent a pound, imposed for the
protection of the trust. There is rea-
son to suspect that Mr.. Havemeyer de-
sires to impress upon congress the
idea that the trust is in hard lines and
| will be ruined by the removal of the
differential tax. This theory is at
| least a great deal more probable than
| the assumption that the trust is SUIT
