UNIQUE FLOWER BOXES.


How to Make Ono from the Rough Branch
OF . Tree.
While house plants, if thrifty, green
and blooming, are charming, even if
they grow in such humble holders as
tin cans, no one will deny that they
are still more lovely if the box or pot
or vase be an attractive one. 1t should
not, however, be gaudy SO as to de-
tract from the plant and its blossom.
I saw the other day, at the window
of beautiful house in New York,
what seemed to me a very unique
flower pot. It consisted OF the rough
branch or trunk of tree about two
feet long and ten inches in diameter.
The bark, moss and rough knots were
left on, the inside followed out and
filed with rich earth, and In this,
evidently, seeds of quick-growingvines
had been planted; for as it hung in the
sunny bay window, suspended by gal.

vines twined upward and hung down
and sent out little shoots toward the
sun and rioted about in the most
charming confusion.

how the work is done. Blooming plants

A CHASTITY Find.

Close by j. j. Hills farm near st.
Paul two boys found the body Of . man
dangling from an oak tree, and they
ran to the adjoining farm, owned by 4
Mr.. Thompson, and notified him OF the
discovery, and the coroner, Dir. Whit
comb.
When DR.. Whitcomb arrived on the
scene the body was still warm, md the
subsequent inquiries developed that "
was case of deliberate suicide. The
name of the unfortunate is Charles
Swanson, about so years Of age. and
quite prosperous, having farm at Cen
.terville, where he leaves a wife and
three children.
When discovered his feet almost
touched the ground, and from the indi-
cations he tied the rope to the limb OF
the tree, and after fastening it around
his neck, jumped into the great here
after.
Recently Swanson had been stopping
with farmer named Peterson, and a
few days previous to the suicide he was
discovered hiding in the barn bleeding
from cut in the wrist. The suppose

This has yielded mo over 5000 from
less than two square rods Of ground in

season (lS94l from seven beds (3x16 feet

From these were taken out for replant-

also taken from the same beds, and are
not included in above figures. The
1924 roots had been under cultivation
In one bed five years and in the other
four years, and had produced during
the time at least $75 worth Of seed.

have at this writing December. '94) 35
beds in the garden stocked with roots
and seeds, 5000 Seeding roots in forest
nursery beds, $1,000 seeds sown in
forest, from which plants are expected
next spring, and this seasons crop of
seed, packed in loan in condition to
promote termination, ready to be sown
next season. I have also during the
past four years furnished the public
with over 10000 seeds and about 1900
roots for cultivation. / am aware of
the general impression that ginseng
culture is slow business, and that it
cannot be made profitable success. I
admit that it is slow starting and must
be worked up from small beginnings,
but when once fairly started can be
developed quite rapidly. But no one
need think he can rush into ginseng
culture and make a fortune in one or
two years. Setting few roots or sow
ing a few seeds, and giving it no turth-
err attention, will never develop
ginseng culture on paying basis. 1t
won't spread over your ground like
weeds.
To my mind the business is best
suited to the small farmer and market
gardener.
A Chinaman came to Boston few
years ago wanting Ave hundred tons of
ginseng-he succeeded in getting about
four hundred pounds. This is the way
we are supplying the demand. The ex-
ports of ginseng from the United
States during ten years, 1ss2-ls91,
amounted to nearly eight million dol
lars-an item of some Importance.
This valuable source of income will
soon be a thing of the past, unless an
effort is made to develop its cultiva-
ton, as the wild plant is fast being ex-
hausted in this country.
Ginseng is native in China, Tartary
and Korea. It has been cultivated in
Korea for hun dreds of years. It is a
royal monopoly, cultivated under IL
cense, and the value of the crop is esti-
mated at five hundred thousand dollars
year.
lam often asked how can we get
started in ginseng culture. My advice
to all is to go into the forest, gather
the wild roots and transplant them. A
few weeks devoted to this work each
year for few years will give good
start.

No Cap,tol Removed.

The judiciary committee of the house
of representatives settled the Capitol
removal question. Two propositions
were voted upon and both decided
against Minneapolis. The first PROPOSE
ton voted on was that the city OF Min
neapolis had no authority to convey
legal title to Loring park to the state
for capitol site. The committee were
unanimous in the opinion that the city
could not make this conveyance; This
has also been admitted by the attorneys
for Minneapolis in their briefs upon
the case.
The second proposition. upon which
the decision was also against Minnea-
polls, but not unanimous, was that it
was beyond the power of the legislature
to confer authority upon the city of
Minneapolis to make any such transfer.
The second proposition was upheld
by the Minneapolis men. who cited q
similar case in Ohio. However, the
burden Of decisions was Of the other
color, and the committee decided &C.
cordingly.

Killed.

A Swede at Sandstone, who runs q
waterwagon to supply villages with
drinking water, became engaged in a
quarrel with Hugh Glenn, and struck
him on the head with club. Glenn
was unconscious all day and died in the
evening. The quarrel was over the
possession of a pump which stands on
public property and from which water
was taken to supply the village.
Glenn's house was nearest to it and he
claimed possession and wanted the
waterman to desist from taking water,
as the well was drying up. He threat
ened the waterman and the latter
struck him. The only witnesses to the
fracas were Glenn's family. The de-
ceased win be remembered as the man
who was blown up by an explosion on
the Fourth of July, and who, with his
family. sought refuge in root house
during the time of the forest fires last
September.
