The Binghamton Chronicle, successor
pcarancc cn Saturday last and created
favorable impression. y departure
from The usual form Of printing has
been made by the publisher and the
paper makes a handsome appearance
in its new dress. The Chronicle is
carefully edited. bright and newsy and
bids fair to become one of the most
welcome OF The Tribunes exchanges.
The recent violent sermon Of Rev.
Thomas Dixon OF New York predicting
revolution in case Bryan is elected is
generally condenrcd. Rev. Mr.. Dixon
not only misinterprets the functions OF
his calling but he also misjudges the
patriotism of the people. Fortunately,
Bryan will not be elected.
1t is a superficial reply to charges Of
election frauds in Arkansas to ask if
there were no frauds In Vermont. The
character of elections in Vermont chal-
lcnges searching comparison with the
character of elections in Arkansas.

MUTUAL DISTRUST.
The Young nan Thought Himself in
Luck to Wake First.

This is a story once told a few conf
| Dental friends by a strapping six-foot,
broad-shouldered statesman from one
of the Southern States:
Il was making my first trip to Wash
ington as Congressman. The weather
in our section of the country was de-
hghtful and so long as it remained SO
along my route I Travelled on horse
| back. One night I put up at an old
tavern near which they were having a
country fair, and found such rush Of
business at the hostelry that two of us
We're assigned to the same bed. My
roommate was a nice looking young
fellow, but not talkative, so I was soon
asleep. Later I awakened suddenly to
see him dressed and helping himself to
my valuables. Springing between him
| and the door, expressed surprise that
he was a thief. The fellow was cool,
sharp and had the airs of gentleman.
What are your he asked.
A lawyer and Congressman
Heavens he chuckled, I guess
| was lucky to wake first
Il had to laugh, despite myself, and
asked if he had any proposition to
make.

tense, he said slowly. That means

have. Just my luck
he had me in a good humor, and
gradually I drew his story from him
and believed 1T. l was not as skeptical

perience. agreed to call 1t all off. gave

The Root Crop.

Mangels, sugar beets and carrots,
when properly stored, may be kept un-
til late spring the following season,
but the former should not be exposed
to the early frosts of autumn or they
will not keep so well. Our machines
for saving these crops are not by any
means what we want at the present
time. The standing objection to the
growing of field roots is the labor in
volved; but think of the Offset to this
labor in the streams of milk which the
roots generate, and in the beneficial
influence which they exert on the
health of the cattle. Unnecessary la
Dor may in sense be grievous, but not
so the labor involved in growing field
roots. For nearly 5000 years men
have found that it is not such bad
thing, after all, for man to earn his
bread by the sweat of his brow, and
growing field roots has more salutary
influence even on the health of a lazy
man than the consumption of the roots
has upon the health of the cattle to
which they are fed.-Ex..
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1896-08-25

every case the effect was soon shown
by the renewed vigor of our evergreens.
But as this must be repeated every few
years. 1t is a question why not put in
a permanent concrete wall between,
or dispense altogether with the fast
growing deciduous trees? l am of the
opinion that we have too many of these
rapid growing naples, and the sooner
they are dispensed with the better for
our beautiful evergreens. l have for
many years been in the practice of cut
ting the surface roots of grass and
shrubs around our lawn trees by SHOW
ing the spade it's full depth in cir
cular cut as far from the base Of the
tree as its branches project, and the
same treatment for the rose bed, or
any of the choice plants which are bor-
dered by grass, and in all cases with
excellent and immediate effect. OF the
miles of evergreen hedges we have
planted but few will be left at the end
OF another series of dry years, unless
protection is afforded same from robber
roots OF more vigorous trees.

Killing Weeds.

Weeds are easily killed just when
they begin to grow. If the ground IL
then stirred they will be very readily
put out of the way. When those lit
tie tender white roots which they hrst
put out are turned up to the light and
sun, they soon vanish. But once allow
them to get a good hold upon the soil
and it is quite different thing to re-
move them. Let the harrow for in
stance stir the surface of corn field
just when the weeds are starting, and
they will be destroyed in myriads. But
let the narrowing be delayed for two
or three weeks and comparatively few
of the weeds will be killed with one
narrowing. In growing crop of man.
gels, if the edges of the raised drill are
hOed down just as soon as the mangels
appear, this work may be quickly done
without disturbing the mangels, but
once let those weeds get firmly rooted
and the difficulty of the work will be
greatly increased. The rootlets from
Of the mangels, so that when the for
mer are being uprooted the latter may
also be pulled out. The true plan is
to SO arrange that the roots of the
weeds will not make any considerable
Roadway before they are destroyed
Then the work is easily done, and the
farmer should be careful not to grow
more of crop than he can take care
of in good form. This is particularly
true of crops that require summer cul-
tivation.-Ex.
