The Trend of Horticulture.

Untamed nature thinks only of the
perpetuation of it's species. The wild
plants of field and forest, luxuriating in
the warming rays Of the summer sun,
extract from the soil the nOurishment
and vitality essential to the completion
Of their little round of life; and then,
having passed through their short cycle
of existence, from the bursting bud to
the ripened fruit, they drOop and die
The mysterious operation of growth and
death is repeated season by season, and
one generation is but a TedupliCatiOn of
all others, modified slightly by peculiar
conditions of soil and climate. The pat
tern Of nature is spread out with glorious
possibilities, but the individual efforts Of
the plants to raise themselves above
their kind are abOrtiVe. Their hopes
are blasted in the bud, flower or fruit;
the limitations imposed upon them prove
insuTmOuntable barriers
Improvement and progressive devel-
opment begin with man. The struggling
plant that has outstTipped it's kind and
stands on the verge of decay, knowing
that 1t will be replaced the following
season by another whose feeble growth
may neutralize all the good that it has
accomplished, suddenly finds itself lifted
to more Congenial surroundings. The
mere struggle for precariOus existence
instantly ceases to absorb all it's strength
and powers The arbitrary laws of ma,
tUre can no longer limit development
and expansion, and the plant has leisure
and opportunity to cultivate the beau
ties and reflnements Of new life.
The flowers take on a fairer and more
delicate hue, improving in size and
beauty by slow magical processes; the
foliage intensifies in strength and color
to form fitting background for the
blossoms; and the maturing fruits de-
velop a sweetness and lusciOusness here
tofore existent only in potential state.
The plants slowly differentiate from
their kind, assuming the appearances
and characteristics of new order, re-
tanning, however, enough of the blood OF
their ancestors to drag them down to
the level of their old primal stock if
once freed from mans control and left
to their mutual selection. George Eth

The Key to the Cattle Situation.

The cattle-growers of the corn belt
have an almost unerring barometer as
to impending changes in their business
in the state of trade on the Western
ranges. The great plains and mountain
valleys, where cattle are counted by tens
of thousands, naturally afford capital the
broadest of all fields for speculation in
cattle values. Men who are trained in
all the arts of finance and who are in
close touch with all the markets Of the
world, when disposed to engage in the
cattle busines for investment purposes,
make their deals in Western ranges.
1t so transpires, therefore, that the West
is the Wall street of the American cattle
trade. 1t follows that any marked
change of sentiment in respect to the
probable trend of cattle values finds its
first and most pronounced expression,
not in the stock yard markets, not on the
farms Of the older States, nor yet in the
feed lot, but rather on the great grazing
grounds Of the boundless West. AS goes
the range, so goes all else in the beef
cattle trade.
Somewhere about 1888, when we used
to hear so much about the cattle bar
The advocate., 1897-09-08
SubsOiling.

Professor King, of the Wisconsin
Experiment Station, says that subsOil-
ing to be most effective should be done
in such way as to leave the soil loose,
much as the stubble plow leaves it. To
accomplish this much will depend upon
the character of the tool and more upon
the condition of the soil when the work
is done. If the soil is so wet as to be
plastic when the plowing is done, then
the effect of the subsoil plOw will be to
wedge the portions of the soil which
are heavily pressed into an even more
compact and close texture than before,
and thus develop a condition the OppO-
site of that sought. To simply form
long groove or channel in the subsOil
by wedging the dirt aside gives little
aid in the direction sought. Such work,
then, If done at all, should be done
when the subsoil itself is dry enough,
and this is most likely to occur in the
fall after the crop of the season has
withdrawn the moisture from it. Sub
soiling late, too, leaves no time for the
soil lose it's open texture before the
rains to be stored reach 1t.

is forty miles long, and for thirty miles
of this distance there were breaks

the snow to fall twelve feet in a single

uncommon for the shed in many places
to be covered for months with snow to
