ERADlcATIkG THE MOLE,
Various Ways Of Circumventinx This
Small, Sly Pest,

Various Ways Of Circumventine This
Small. Sly Pest.
As to how gardeners shall be entirely
rid OF moles in lawns and gardens re-
mains an unsolved question. Here are,
however, some helpful hints on the sub
ject from The American Agriculturist:
Moles do not like to be disturbed in
their operations, and If their runways
are destroyed or closed up by tramping
the ground above the runways they will
change their quarters. The mole goes
along four or five times day to catch
the insects that have dropped in his
path. Moles live mostly on grubs and
worms, yet are fond of various forms of
vegetable matter. Those who have tried
poisoned corn say that twill effectual-
~ rid place Of moles. Soak the ker.
nels in arsenic water and place them in
the runways. In soil that is not too DOR
ous moles and other vermin can some
times be drowned out much more easily
than dug out, and if there is a large
supply OF water this method of destroy
ing the pests may be practicable in al
most any soil.
What seems to be the safest and surest
method Of mole determination, in the
west at least, is the planting of castor
BEANS Says horticultural authority:
1.-The castor oil plant seems to be rank
poison to all the animal world; no sort
OF bird, beast or creeping thing will
touch it. Even goat will starve before
biting of a leaf, and insects that will
eat every other green thing in sight pass
that by. There is hardly another in
stance in natural history Of a plant be-
ing SO universally detested by the ami
NAL world as the castor oil plant" The
castor plant may have such effects in
the west, but in the east similar results
are not obtainable. as several trials have
conclusively proved. But in the west
the case of Eleanor M. Lucas of Cali.
fornia speaks for itself. She writes:
"Moles dislike castor beans, as do
gophers. and they have both given my
garden wide berth since castor beans
were planted, although they had pre-
viously destroyed many valuable bulbs
and plants. In 1898 moles were unusu-
ally troublesome. A few beans were
tucked in my bulb bed, favorite haunt
for moles, others in the rose border,
some near the violet bed and wherever
the pests were most troublesome. A few
moles had runs here and there, and at
once dropped bean in their path. Last
year planted only few beans to keep
them at bay, and not mole has been
seen. My moss roses were being laid in
a state of devastation by the red spider,
but since the castor vines have overshad-
owed the bushes this tiny pest has also
absented itself; therefore I believe it
detests the castor beans as all the ami
NAL world seems to do"

New System of Tree Planting.

A new system of tree planting is in
vogue in Nebraska, called the Leonard
system. 1t consists Of digging hold
six or eight feet square and as many
deep or below the hardpan, or ''tena-
cious subsoil," as it is politely called
there. The hole is then filled with sur
face soil. Trees are planted upon the spot
and are said to do better than if planted
on ordinary plowed ground without
other preparation. The Iowa Homestead
in this connection remarks: 'The Leon
ard system would be good anywhere,
but why not use dynamite to make the
holes? Dead carcasses dropped into the
hole would also help the future of the
tree.

 The destruction to the village was complete, barely dozen houses in the suburbs remains standing. The on slaught of the flames was so sudden that barely in 20 succeeded in saving any of their effects The heat from the burning mills and lumber was so in- tense that people were compelled to seek shelter under trees and driftwood along the lakeshore.

5SHERMAN,S WEALTH.


 The people of the United States know a great deal about John Sher- man. He has been q public man for over forty years and he is recognized as one of the leading goldbugs in the Republican party. John Sher- man has been charged with being largely responsible for the commis- sion of tbe crime Of 1873, when silver was demonetized. He has held public office for years and his sole income has been his salary. Yet Sherman is millionaire today. Where did this money come from and how was it gained? This ques- tion has been asked repeatedly but has never been answered. The latest seeker for information is ". o. Manson, one of the prominent Republicans of Ohio. Mir. Munson has addressed the following open letter to Senator Sherman:
 Your close political associates and distinguished men in the Republi- can party take delight in saying that the Hon. w J. Bryan is in the employ, at salary of $6, GOO a year, of the silver millionares of theWest. This Mr. Bryan denies, and as he is an honorable man I believe him.
 And now, Senator Sherman, a few words to you. For years I have watched your career, and am aware that you once carried a chain for the surveyors on the Muskingum river improvements, and honor you, for that was honest toll. You have been before the public in various capacities for four dozen years. In that time, you have held office con- stantly. It is presumed that you had but little, if any, time for any thing else. We have heard you say that accepting office was a sacrifice, for you could not live on the salary of 50, 900 year, paid members ot the United States Senate, and yet, after four dozen years of selfsacrific- ing for your country, living Q ten thousand-dollar rate on i've thous- and-dollar salary, you are rated as a millionaire from four to eight times over.
 You often in your speeches chal- lenge your political opponents to answer close questions. Can and will you, before retiring to private life, tell the dear people, who SC long have supported you. the secret of serving your country forty years on a five thousand dollar salary, at the same time liyinga ten-thousand- dollar rate, and retiring a multi millionaire? It would be interest ing information for the rising gen. eration-eyen your young friend, W. ], Bryan, might profit by it. and be an incentive for others to emulate your career. The plain people have for years been wonder ing how their self-sacrifcing public servant, John Sherman, could accumulate wealth so rapidly, while they, his costituents, grow poorer each year.
