Horticulture.

The native asters of the woods are
of much beauty, and worthy a place
in the garden. If dug up with a
ball of earth they hardly know of
the transplanting; they will come
up strong in the spring and bloom
well in the fall.
Keeping the roots of the trees cool
in the spring by mulching and other
methods has no effect whatever in
retarding the growth. This has
been proved by careful experiment,
and establishes the theory that heat
above ground determines the mat
ter. Keeping the top cool will re-
tard growth.
To procure early blossoms from
our early Towering bulbs, the mid
die of August is none too soon to
give them their new quarters.
Place them in good garden soil, with
little sand at the bottom of the
crock, supply little warm water,
and put them in the dark until
leaves begin to show good growth.
If the runners upon the straw
berry plants have been pinched off
as fast as they appeared, every such
runner VIII nave produced new
crown, and the plants will now have
formed large bushes or stools, upon
which the finest of large, highly
favored berries may be looked for
in the spring.
By Sitting the shoots and keeping
constantly tied in wet moss, oleand-
ers, India rubber plants and many
similar ones are easily increased.
Roots are soon formed, when the
young plant can be cut off and
started in a pot upon its own
account.
A slight covering with litter OF
evergreen branches, where the win
tiers are severe, viii be of great SER
vice to the strawberries. This
should not be laid until November
or December, after the ground il
frozen. 1t is a common mistake Ia
put on too much or too early, and tC
leave too late in the spring.

for breeders as long as they are prof.
table. This quality of being "A good
mother is an important thing with
all sorts of stock.
Breechy cattle can often be re-
strained BY putting a single strand
of barbed wire along the top of the
fence. After getting a few scratches
they will keep carefully away from
1t. Even the bull may be kept in by
this means, for he does not like to
get hurt.
Oats are an expensive grain to use,
and about the only way farmercan
afford to employ them is in feeding
horses. For every other purpose for
which grain is needed it will pay
better to sell the oats and buy some
thing else. Feeding in the sheaf is
the only economical way that good
use may be made of the straw.
1t is said that sheaf oats sailed in
LAYERS are not likely to be troubled
by the mice. This also makes the
horse relish them the more. The
salt gathers moisture from the at
mosphere and makes the ripe straw
more palatable. Very few now fol-
low the old time practice of sailing
the hay.
Politics and legislation are poor
things for farmer to build his
hopes upon. The sheep raiser who
puts his trust in the best breed rather
than in the tariff, and goes ahead
to produce valuable mutton car
cass and good fleece of wool is pretty
sure to come out all right in the end.
AS the age of any animal increases,
the gain it will make from certain
amount of food decreases. Unless
one practices the methods to which
this fact points he can hardly hope
to make a success of stock raising.
Every farmer should have this les
son pat, for it is a valuable truth.
Do not imagine that you can not
grow stock because you can not do
it on large scale. Small farmers
and feeders excel in producing the
very best, for, having but few head,
each individual receives that per-
sonal care which is so important an
element, and which large operators
can not give.
In feeding and fattening cattle,
grow the crops needed for that pur-
pose on the farm, feed them on the
farm, and return the manurial pro-
duct to the farm. This means con-
stantly increasing ability to produce
but if sufficient diversity Of feed
ing stuffs are not grown, it is wiser
to buy them than not to feed well.
We are willing to accept without
question that there is but small
profit in cultivating poor land, but
why is it that most men are so re-
luctant to admit that the same rule
applies to stock? 1t is, indeed, very
bad economy to feed and care for
poor stock, because good stock. will
give a much better return.
1t is a very difficult matter t.
breed successfully for two qualities
in the same animal. If cow of the
best beef type turns out to be an eX'
ceptional mixer, it is more often &C.
cident than intention. One should
have a single and definite aim. Be
slow to buy of a man who advertise:
to breed equally for beef and dairy.

Agriculture.

So far as the grain is concerned the
corn crop permits us more leisure in
harvesting than does any other crop
which we grow; but if we intend to
save the fodder we must cut it when
it is just right, and that is when the
leaves are neither green nor brown.
Stacking hay out of door is not
good economy in any conditions, as
more or less of it is always damaged
by exposure, and the amount lost in
this way would more than repay the
interest upon the cost of more room
required to store it. Even a tempo
rary board roof will pay.
There is not much margin in wheat
at IL bushels to the acre, nor in pota-
toes at IS bushels, nor in cotton at
third of a bale. If the man who
grows average crops" will tell the
truth he will say that farming does
not pay; but why grow average
crops!
If you want the smaller children
to have a crop of their own to look
after, in which they will be sure to
take an interest, and which usually
pays a good profit, let them plant
some pop corn. Tell them before
hand that it can not be sold for a
year, as dealers will not buy it until
it has time to thoroughly dry.
Let the tiller of the soil visit some
prosperous manufacturing establish
ment and learn that success comes
because there is clock like regulari-
| ty--no hardness, no idling, no waste
OF material, and advantage taken OF
every new improvementand method
No leaks, no waste of power, nc
waste of floor room.
The profit from land is more than
doubled by doubling the product
The fixed charge for use of land and
a large part of the charge for labor
lie equally against the larger or the
smaller crop. Moreover, poor hue.
bandry is waste of ones investment:
in implements.
Instead of endeavoring to suit 6
crop to the soil, it is better farming
and better economy to suit the soil
to the crop. You are then more in
dependent and have wider range
from which to choose. Lacking ele
ments can be put in the soil, or, per.
haps, they but need development
Glover roots furnish some fertili
ger for the soil, but the greatest gooC
is procured only by pasturing off TIL,
first crop and blowing the second un
der when at its full growth. Its me
chanical action in loosening, drain
ing and @rating the ground is hardl!
less in value than the direct benefi
of the fertilizing properties.
Does it cost too much? Thorough
ly tile the drain the wetfest ant
.. heaviest acre on the farm; grow
crop of clover and follow with wheat
then decide if the increased yiel
does not pay back an astonishingl
large interest on the cost. Often
times the outlay will be all returne
in two or three years.

In the Senate.

WASHINGTON. June Whether
the senate shall be able to conclude
the work of the session this week will
probably depend upon whether quo
rum can be maintained. Some senators
are opposed to the passage of the new
general deficiency bill with the French
spoliation clause, and the store and
supply claims allowed under the Bow
man act omitted. Senator Harris makes
no secret of his intention to demand
the restoration of these items to the
bill, and says that he will not consent
to its passage without them. except up
on yea and nay vote. If he insists
upon this, voting quorum will be
necessary. Several senators have an
nounced their purpose of leaving the
city early in the week, and many others
will depar; about the middle of the
week for ST. Louis. Under these cir
cumstances it is possible that adjourn
ment may be postponed until after the
Republican convention, although there
will be a very general effort to prevent
this The other appropriation bills
which have not been finally disposed
of are: The Indian, the District of Co
1umbia, the sundry civil, the naval and
| the pOStOffice.

CHICAGO, June 7.-Severe storms
prevailed throughout Wisconsin,
Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska,
South Dakota and Michigan today
with heavy rain and in several sec
lions with cyclonic manifestations
Three heat storms passed over this
city accompanied with heavy rains
and hail. Hail stones fell in some
places in this vicinity so thick they
could be taken up by the shoyelful.
After the rain in Hyde park nearly
a peck of shells and gravel were pick
ed up. In one place in this suburb
small fish and turtles were found in
large numbers. OF this remarkable
occurrence, Observer Cox states that
the transplanting of fish and shells
and water gravel from their original
resting places to points miles away
was due to the air vacuums, whirI-
winds and straight winds which have
prevailed throughout the west for a
week past. A sail boat was capsized
on the lake this afternoon by the high
wind and its four occupants barely
escaped drowning. Up to a late hour
tonight no fatalities had been reported.
At Peoria a heavy rain did consider
dUle OGHdSe. Al the Union STOCK
yards the storm played havoc Base
ments and first floors were flooded
and the big packing house firms were
heavy losers. Hundreds of windows
were blown in and the rain entering
spoiled tons of beef which had been
prepared for canning.
At Virgil, S. D., a cyclone leveled a
number of houses. Irwin DAILY was
seriously injured. From this point the

muda was in command of the largest
force at Sudrda. He was of the tribe
of Habbania and was well known TO
Slatin Pasha, while the latter was a
captive of the I&nalifa in the Soudan.
Slatin Pasha was a great favorite with
the Khalfa, who promoted him to the
rank of emir because he left his own
tribe when the insurrection first broke
out to serve the Khalifa personal'v
1t is believed the taking of Firket
was decided upon owing to the double
strength of AkaSheh as an outpost,
surrounded as it is by low hills, the
taking of which would make Akasheh
a death trap. The finishing of the rail-
road line from Arras has been rapidly
pushed since the expedition was de-
cided upon. By extending it to Firket,
the worst cataract will be turned and
early advantage can thus be taken of
the rise in the Nile at the end of July,
for water transport to Dongola.
The officers in command of the
Egyptian force express
GREAT QUALIFICATION

of the Egyptians, about whom soma

csc who have been depended on fol

ST. LOUIS; June IA good deal OF

departure of Richard c. kerens. OF
this city, Chauncey |. Filley's political
opponent, for Canton, O., last night 1t
is said he went on a telegraphic re-

gard to the matter, the Republic in
the morning will say:
'KerenS friends declare the object OF
his visit is to confer with McKinley's
lieutenants throughout the country who
are to be be assembled before Hanna
leaves for ST. Louis. The theory of the
F'illey men is that Mckinley proposes
to call Kerens off and insist that he
shall make no further warfare on the
regular Republican organization in
Missouri. While Filley is not in a po-
sition to throw the Missouri delegation
against Mckinley merely to get in a
personal point, there are so many COM

interest of the Ohio candidate to keep
