Many of our common Towering
plants are not sufficiently priced.
The Iris, or flag, as it is usually
called, is o beautiful, hardy plant,
and the varieties now are quite
numerous. One kind after another,
they bloom for from two to three
months.
The large scarlet blossoms of the
trumpet vine are a great attraction
to flower lovers in midsummer. 1t
is too coarse grower for the walls
of dwelling house, but for other
walls, posts or fences it is a good
one. Unsightly places can be made
beautiful to look upon.
Although it is not universally the
custom, deciduous trees should be
planted before the leaves expand,
and evergreens before the young
growth puts forth. With all trees
the early paintings usually do the
best; and yet shade trees may be
transplanted at almost any season
of the year.
Plant English ivy and anything
else which is doubtfully hardy on
the north side of buildings. 1t is
the winters sun which hurts them,
and not the cold. The tying up of
roses and such plants with straw is
on the same principle, that the light
may be excluded.
There are lighter colOrs as we'll as
the darker ones among the Persian
lilacs, just as there are of the COM
mons sorts. This does not grow to
be so large bush as the familiar
lilac, but it is a sure and a protuse
bloomer, and quite fragrant;it is a
little later in Towering.
Dark manures draw the heat and
are not so good for mulching goose
berries. Freshly cut grass makes a
good and lasting summer mulch
The English variety, and our own
for that matter, seem grateful for d
supply of some such kind about theil
roots in warm weather.
The large, pinkish white flower;
of the crab apple tree in early spring
and its beautiful fruit later in the
sea son, entitle it to distinction, and
then its small growth permits of its
use where there would not be room
for tree of ordinary size. 1t is as
often planted for ornament as for it:
| fruit.

Agriculture.

The value of the corn fodder is
fully equal to half the crop of corn
which it has borne; that is, when it
is properly cared for. The day for
whole acres of standing woody
stalks is past; but it all depends up
on the method of handling whether
they are good for much or good for
nothing.
1t is not easy to see why starch
factories are not more numerous.
Where the business of making
starch from potatoes has been car
ried on, it has proved to be profit
able industry, and has increased the
value of farm land devoted to pota-
toes. Few are in our Western
country.
Protracted heat makes turnips
pithy, and liable to be worm eaten.
For this reason the colder climate of
England and Canada is better adapt
ed to the growing of this vegetable,
and a. low temperature increases
them in size and flavor.
While the soil may be full of fer
tility, tiliage only will not supply
the elements of nutrition. If con-
tlnuouS cropping, by the machine or
animal, is to be practiced, the ma
nure must not be withheld, however
good the tillage may be. Fertiliza-
ton and tillage together make the
large crops.
Grain shocks standing late in the
field where there Is young clover
often kill the plants they cover, and
leave bare spots. A full stand is one
of the requisites toward full crop,
and anything short of full crop in
evitably discounts the chance for a
profit.
If we could control drouths, and
thus make our crops a certain thing
and fix the earning power and value
of our land, farming would become
one of the exact sciences. Irriga-
ton is accomplishing this more than
any one thing in the West; subsoil-
ing is the chief refuge in the East.

grow so short that there is not an

Horses.

Before the mice rifle them, the
sheaf oats might be cut up now, and,
with an occasional bran mash, be
fed to the horses; they will carry
the teams through the fall blowing
in good shape. They will be IN no
more real demand at any time of the
year.
Do not use either the check rein
or the binder when you begin to
break and train the colt this fall.
You can get along just as well with
out them, and if you do not use
them on the colt you will never need
them for the horse. They are both
out-of-date appliances.
We do not sufficiently appreciate
the value and capability of good,
walk steadily four miles an hour
will cover the same ground in a day
with much less fatigue than one
which trots half the time. Such a
one would be profitable in the corn
field.
We see many old grays and roans,
but seldom an old cream-colOred
horse; the latter seems to have not
much staying power, and succumbs
quickly to very hot weather. OF all
the varieties, the grays are the long
est lived, and the roans come next in
order.
1t requires less time to grow and
finish good draft horse for market
than it does for either a coach horse
or roadster, and the chances are
ten to one that it will bring more
money. Farmers who are breeding
good animals of this variety usually
find that it pays, though they can
not say so much for any other kind.
Do not keep your poorer horses for
the general work upon the farm. 1t
will pay you quite as we'll as it will
anyone else to have a team which
will do your work thoroughly and
speedily. Good horses will be worth
more to you than the interest on the
money that you might sell them for.
A horse does not like to be handi-
capped by adverse conditions any
more than does a man. Unkempt
horses, which have a weary and
dispirited air as they haul half
loaded wagons to market, strikingly
prove the effect of bad roads. They
seem consciously proud when they
are doing good work.
While performance only is con-
elusive test, pedigree is the only
presumptive test in a horse. A
horse of good ancestry may deceive
us, but pedigree points to the
possession of the qualities desired,
and these qualities are never found
outside. That is why failure is sure
to come for the grower of scrubs.
A little tar, with a few drops of
carbolic acid added, rubbed beneath
the under jaw and upon the breasts
of colts which run in swampy or
woody pastures, will prevent much
annoyance from mosquitoes and
flies, which sometimes bite them
until they are solid blotch of
small sores.
Wrongly educate the colt, or stunt
what little intelligence he has by
maltreatment or by neglect, and it
will cause condition which can
never be remedied. 1t is as i'm
portant not to stunt the body as the
Intelligence, for vigor of Intelligence
depends very much upon vigor of
body, whether it be in man or in
beast.

abundance of wood for all needs of
the owner, the market value of that
farm suffers at once. The very fear
of this should be a suggestion to
plant little timber at once.
Some men remain renters all their
lives because they say it is cheaper
to rent land than to pay taxes. It is
readily observed that the land does
not improve much under the man
agement of such men; they are sell
dom progressive farmers, and rarely
obtain competence from their
methods.
We should have less trouble in
getting desirable farm hands if we
could give them steady employment
throughout the year. A good man
does not need TO be idle one-third of
his time. There should be some way
to manage his work profitably to
yourself in such way that he need
not leave you in the fall.
Be on helpful terms with your
neighbors. If you have found some
crop which is money maker, it is
suicidal to keep such knowledge to
yourself; and so with any method or
practice which will help to better
profit on the farm. The golden rule
is good one, even in farming, and
an exchange of experiences with
onc's neighbors is one way to fulfill

Swine.

swine,
Raw potatoes are not fully digesti-
BILE, and the best advantage will &C
crue from feeding them. If one can
fit up an apparatus easily for doing
the work, it will pay to cook the
small potatoes before feeding them
to the hogs; the hogs will thrive bet
ter, and the potatoes go further.
1t is well to have some pigs to sell
at different times of the year. Sell
early, for often the quick growing,
early maturing pigs pay better than
to feed longer. Sell them to get the
money, and start to feed up small
pigs again. Let the money earn its
profit twice in the year.
Feed variety to produce the best
meat. All corn fed hogs are not the
best for choice meat. The hog pro-
ducts which command the highest
prices in English markets come from
countries which are not noted for the
production of corn-England, Ire
land, Denmark.
If there is benefit in pure breeds,
why not get this benefit to the full?
Hogs, like chickens, multiply and
breed up so fast that we cannot af-
ford to raise, feed or fatten any but
the very best. A pure bred boar
will soon grade up the herd; but, if
possible, have one or two pure bred
sows.
Take good care that the pigs have
a sufficient supply of salt, ashes and
charcoal; keep 1t in a box under
shelter, where they can help them
selves, and never let the supply en-
tirely run out. There is no danger
of them eating too much, for their
own cravings will measure that.
1t is well to have the young stock
intended for sale in splendid condi-
ton, and, of course, all show ami
mails, but the sows will have more
pigs and do better if kept thin
About two weeks before they far
row give plenty of milk producing
food, and feed them well while suck
ling.
There are many little things in
management that the average man
never thinks of sufficient Importance
to make note Of. For instance, pigs
can be better fed, handled and dis.
posed of to better advantage if the
filters from the sows come about the
same time. 1t is best 70 have them
uniform in size and also IN growth.

In Omaha there has been talk of run

Kountze for the city council. 1t is to
be hoped that the effort to get these
men to be candidates will be successful.
In Lincoln there is the same necessity
for good men in the council that there
is in Omaha, and great stride will have
been taken in the direction of genuine
reform when some of the little men are
crowded out by good sized men. Sup
pose, for instance, the council contained
such men as l. NJ. Raymond, n. s. Har-
wood. N. G. Abbott, G. M. Lambertson,
}. E. Houtz. H. H. Wilson, and some of
the present incumbents. There would
be no further municipal extravagance.

they do run, and then elect them.

the Nebraska gold fields has died out,
and no one seems to know whether
there is any gold in the vicinity Of Mil

would like to know, and il is to be hoped
that Mr.. Graham will manifest the same
accommodating spirit that he did before
election. Mayor Graham's employers
would like to know the reason for his
paroxysm OF official zeal which lately
caused the sudden closing Of the gamb-
ling houses-for one night. This is a
very simple matter and the mayor ought
to be willing to tell his employers all
about il. They have right to know.
There is another thing 1t has been re-
ported for some months that there is
such thing as an assessment fund.
Now, Mayor Graham, what is the las
sessment fund.-" Is it fact, is cur
rently reported, that six or seven gamb-
ling houses pay 500 month each into
the hands of an officer OF the city. for
official protection? IL so. what becomes
OF tins money, amounting to 5000 or 500
q month? Is it correct that this sum is
further augmented each month by con-
tributions from certain resorts in the
reservation? Now there are good rea-
sons for believing that there is an as
eessment fund OF this sort, and the
people are genuinely interested in find.
ing out what becomes of it. II you are
turning 5000 or 500 month into the
city treasury you should not let your
excessive modesty prevent you from
making proper acknowledgment Of your
philanthropy. OF course it is not sup
posed that any improper use is made OF
the 1900 or 500. But the question is,
what is done with the money?
1t was not surprising that the city
council refused to hear the protest
against the electric light contract re-
Gently entered into. Members Of the
council. better than any one else, know
that the rate paid by the city under
this contract is excessive. Conscious
nees of the fact was manifested in the
peculiar manner in which the contract
was agreed to.
OF course the curfew ordinance is a
good thing. OF course it is good thing
to make the youth of the city get off
the streets after eight or nine o'clock.
OF course it is good thing to arrest
boys whenever and wherever found on
the streets unless they are accompanied
by either parent or guardian. By all
means let us have the curfew and when
the bell rings out let no presurar :uous
youth escape. But how did this whole
some measure come to be introduced? A
curfew ordinance seems so conspicuous
ly inconsistent with other explorations
Of the city council that one is bound to
wonder the reason for the sudden virtu-
GUS activity Of the councilmen. Those
persons who do not regard the council
with veneration will doubtless find much
amusement in the curfew ordinance.
Certainly it lie strange that municipal
administration that opens wide the
gates and doorways and byways of in
equity, and bids the gambler and varie-
gated outlaws warm welcome, should
exercise such sudden and remarkable
vigilance in protecting the youth of the
city. The explanation OF the introduc-
zion Of the curfew ordinance probably
lies in the intention OF the city officials
to still further "open" the town. so
that it will be positively dangerous for
youths to appear in the street at night

Importance of the Exchange Reader.

importance OF One Excn8nBS Re@0ers
The man who reads the exchanges Is
a very important man, and, let me say,
too, he is a pretty highly paid man He
has to read, we will say, 5000 papers
regularly. All the newspapers in the
country come into the Office, and he does
not do anything else. He sits at his desk
all day, and a pile of newspapers, or,
say, cord of newspapers, is laid before
him every morning. He starts to work
and turns them over and over to see
what is in them. He has to know what
it is that should be taken from them
and put into his paper. What is the in
teresting story? 1t requires Judgment to
know this. 1t requires knowledge and
experience as well as talent. 1t also re-
quires q sense of humor, because there
are great many things that are really
important that may not seem so at the
first glance, and the newspaper reader
has got to judge about that. He must
always be on hand and spend great
many hours at his desk, and he is pretty
tired when he gets through with his
day s task. 1t is hard duty, but he has
lots of amusement, and, as 1 said, he is
very well paid. So he is happy. y.-Charles
