Horticultural Notes.

Always puddle the roots of trees be.
fore planting.
prune the currants every year, cut
ting ont the old wood.
In storing beets for winter be care
full not to cut or bruise them.
The peach tree should be grown on n
wel-dralned, moderately rich soil,
Gooseberries and currants planted In
partial shade are less liable TO mildew.
Keep the asparagus bed clear of
weeds and do not cut over before the
third year.
The time will come when nut trees
will be commonly grown for CONNER
clal purposes.
Summer pears should be gathered Il
| week before they are ripe and autumn
about two weeks.
The ounce makes the best preserve
of any fruit, we think, and 1t will grow
In any mellow, rich soil.
Rich soil, deep blowing, high manur-
| Ing and thorough cultivation win pro
duce good cabbage crop.
The soil In which fruit trees are to be
planted ought to be pulverized twelve
| to eighteen inches deep.
| 1t Is now that the flowers you have
taken so much pains with laugh you a
| welcome when you enter the garden.
In planting fruit trees cut off all bro
| ken OF bruised roots. Do not shorten
the tops. however, in fall planting.
When near a market the dandeliol

prefer 1t 10 any other kind of green's.
Nangel wurzels Yield immense crops
and perhaps are the very best root for
sheep, but they draw heavily on the
| soil.
Chlcory roots are dug about the same
time as carrots, and should be washed
sliced each way and thoroughly dried
by artificial heat.

Making Cabbages Head.

Every year about heading time the
grower of cabbages finds his crop def

by extra fertilizing not likely to make
a marketable head. Now a cabbage
that does not head Is merely bunch
of loose leaves that cannot be sold at
ALL 1t does not matter what the cause
of failure may be. Possibly the plant
was originally weakling. and with
ordinary care and rich soil could not
amount to anything. Or 1t may be- that
lack of cultivation or natural poverty
of the soil Is the cause of the failure
to head. Either way the duty of the
cabbage grower Is plain. He should
thoroughly cultivate the soil around
the cabbage, and then apply very
weak solution of heterogeneous and min
eral plant food, the latter in the form
Of phosphate. If this is done at once
the cabbages will start into growth sc
quickly and also so strongly that, be

grower will probably be obliged to par

WHY SUNDAY is CHOSEN.
Most Royal Assassinations Have DC
Cured ON the Sabbath.

Most Royal Assassinations Have Oc-
Cured ON the Sabbath.
Sunday seems to be fayorite day for
political assassinations of Europe. The
death of Canovas on this day recalls
the long list of rulers who have eSeher
met death or but narrowly escaped 1t
on the Sabbath at the hands of an
archsts, communists or nihillsts. The
fact that in the old world Sunday Is the
great festival day, when the rulers go
around and give their subjects an OPP
portunity to look upon and get near
them, is perhaps sufficient explana-
ton.
Alexander H., the Russian car, was
returning to els palace on the afternoon
of Sunday, March -, 1881, when
dynamite bomb was thrown at his car
rlage. The carriage was blown to
pieces and Alexander died within a
few hours.
President Carnot, of France, was at
Lyons attending an industrial and art
exhibition on Sunday, June "a, 1894.
That night as he drove TO theater,
Sesare Giovanni Sarilo, young Ital-
| ian anarchist, sprang upon the step Of
| the Presidents carriage and plunged a
knife into his abdomen. Carnot died
within a few hours.
President Faure narrowly escaped
death on Sunday, June Is, last. He
was driving on the Bots de Boulogne
to witness the Grand Prix at the Long
| champs race course, when a bomb was
exploded near his carriage. 1t was Of
faulty construction and hurt no one.
Two attempts have been made on the
| life of King Humbert of Italy on Sun
| days. On Sunday, March II, 1878, Clio
yanni Pasanante climbed into the
Kings carriage In the streets of Naples
and stabbed him In the thigh with a
sword. The King fought back, cut his
assailant on the arm and held him at
bay until the police took charge of HIM
| On Sunday, March 26, 1893, religious
! fanatic named Beradi attacked King
Humbert in the streets of Rome, but
was captured before he did any harm.
William L. of Germany, grandfather
| Of the present Emperor, was twice at.

Pumpkins a wing Crop.

There is no corp requiring so little
labor that pays so well as pumpkins.
There is always market for them in
city or village at prices much higher
than pumpkins are worth for feeding
to stock Yet it is bulky crop to han
die, and unless there is near market
it may pay better to cut them up and
feed the crop to stock. Remove the
seeds always, as they are a powerful
diuretic, and when fed to cows will ex-
cite the urinary organs far too much.
Boiled pumpkins, with little corn
meal or whole corn boiled with them,
make much better feed for fattening
hogs than will whole corn. Finally the
old-fashioned pumpkin pie, which the
sons of New England have made fam
Gus throughout the land, Is an institu-
ton for which nothing can be success
fully substituted. Some may say that
squash pie is richer; but 1t lacks the
distinctive pumpkin flavor, and cannot
replace 1t to any one who was brought
up to like pumpkin pie.

Small Farms the Best.


Farmers are beginning to SEQ that a
less acreage of land, free from the OPP
presslve mortgage, Is more 10 be de-
sired than a burden of debt. Intensive
farming is the basis of argument upon
which our learned and scientific agri-
culturists build their estimates of rapid
development and future permanent
wealth. The increasing number of small
farms, with better cultivation and bet
ter improvements, Is certain to be fol-
lowed by an increased production, an
Increased number of manufacturing ia
dustries, an increased population and
greatly increased wealth of the States
resources.
Economy on the farm may be made
to mean more than the saving of the
little things. The reducing of the
mortgage debt by reducing the acreage
Of the farm to the actual capacity 20
TIL and make productive will be in the
line of economy. The changing o. con
ditions whereby 100 bushels of grain i
made TO grow where formerly fifty
grew Is economy; the building of bet.
ter homes and the enjoyment of better
home comforts by the family on the
farm Is economy; the independence OF
actual ownership in business which
