The Moon Flower.

The worldly worth of anything is
usually measured by the amount OF
qualification or pleasure it may afford.
Reasoning thus, the garden-lover will
find it worth his while to hunt place
to put root or two of Ipomoea Bona
noX, the well-known Moon flower,
next spring. 1t is only an annual; but
a plant raised from cutting during
the winter afforded great deal of
pleasure to the writer in its situation
on an arbor: The rapidity of it's
growth enables it to soon cover a
small arbor. Its large, clear white
flowers stand out from the back
ground of broad, green leaves making
it visible even in the darkness Of
night, at which time the flowers open.
1t is interesting to compare the times
of opening and closing. The closing
hours are from to a. M, and the
opening about to 8 p. M, the times
apparently depending on atmospheric

sets in the blooming is irregular. The
plant above mentioned omitted to
bloom one night, and several days af-
ter the flowers might be seen during
the day, and since at all times.
On the two vines, 200 of the i'm
mense flowers were recently counted
and this amount is not a limit. It's
great blooming ability is the more
pronounced when we learn the life of
flower is but the one night, and a
fresh set of flowers is produced con-
tinuously day after day.
The climbing is accomplished by the
twining of the young shoots. A wire

Some New Plants.

Solanum Azureum, also new to me,
began to bloom when not more than
two inches high, and is very thrifty
and pretty. I do like plant that does
not need coaXing for months before it

careful observation for years, and

Oxalis Ortgesi, which [ have never
cultivated until recently, is also most
satisfactory. The blossoms are not
large, but they are produced in great
abundance from the time the plant is
fairly settled in it's new quarters;
they are of bright, clear yellow col

Raising House Plants.

A writer of floral topics recently
said that ''the woman who complains
that she can't raise house plants is
simply negligent of them. She moves
heedful of their need of water, per-
mits the room they are in to become
very cold at night and then very hot
during the day.
Proba bly,, too, she does not cover
tect them from dust. Happily, where
SO many sins of omission and com
mission are committed, the poor
things die quickly and so escape their
wretched existence. If you intend to
keep plants, put them in a window
that has double sashes and where the
greatest amount of sunshine strikes
for longest time every day. Roll the
shades high and drape curtains back
far and only for the liveliest necessity
move the pots. Every day, at as near
ly the same hour as you can manage,
water these household pets. They
will be grateful for the regularity,
and unfailingly once week give
them a bath. That is, with a sponge
and clear tepid water gently pass over
the leaves. Use many basins of water
for this, and as far as you can pro-
tect them, don't let cold draft strike
through their foliage. A sudden chill
often blasts an otherwise healthy
plant and just as important is it 10
When cleaning day comes around,
throw big bags of old muslin or dim
ity over the green things, and as
plants are usually kept in a deep win
dow, be sure at night to draw down
the shades and over the portiers, when
the gas is lighted. The portieres
should be of some heavy dark stuff to
keep out the light, heat and possible
tobacco smoke. Before leaving the
room for the night one window, as
distant as possible from that in which
the plant sits, ought to be pulled down
al the top, to let in fresh air, while the
closed curtains will still keep them
warm enough. Then, not until she
has made fire, cleaned the CRATE and
done her busting for the day, should
the maid push back the portieres and
pull up the window shades. Ind.

Notes on Transplanting.


is great pleasure in trying different
plans with our plants and in setting
ourselves to overcome difficulties with
them.
Now there are few gardening oper-
ations more interesting than trans
planting, and [ have made good
many experiments in this department.
There are times when to transplant is
to kill, and indeed when the weather
is hot and dry during the summer
months it is better not to attempt it,
but OH cool, rainy days I have often
succeeded in moving plants from one
part of the garden to another with
perfect safety.
1t sometimes happens that there
are gaps to fill up or there is new
border to be planted and then it is
worth while to incur slight risk
Fortune favors the brave, and [ have
often coaXed plants to live when
transplanted which ought by all rules
to have died.
Though bulbs must not be disturb
ed from the time they are put into
the ground till they begin to grow, I
find that when they are a couple OF
inches above the ground they can be
moved quite safely, and bloom as well
as if they had never been touched.
discovered this last March. The gar
den was full of bulbs, and somehow
they all seemed to have got into the
wrong places, so I just put them
where | wanted them and the result
more becoming arrangement with my
Daffodills and Hyacinths, and to place
them in clumps near the house where
they could be seen to the best advan-
tage.
/ must not forget to say, however
that mere is one bulb which will not
stand being played tricks with. If the
roots of the white garden lily O.
Candidum) are disturbed at any peri.
cd of it's growth there is no blossom
All the lilies I moved failed, but every
thing else in the hardy bulb line did
very we'll.
Again, when the growth of a bulb
is completed it is generally safe to
dig it up and plant it wherever want
ed. Those which bloom before the
hot weather comes on can be moved
without difficulty, but to transplant
the ,renchleyensis Gladiolus, which
comes out in August when the ground
is dry and parched, requires little
care. I find it the best way to pot
them in the house so as to keep them
quite out of the sun, giving plenty
of air and water, then the next day to
plunge the pots in the borders so as
not to disturb the roots a second time.
This was done for Towering bulbs
taken up from neighboring nursery
ground; in simply shifting them from
one part of the garden to another
these precautions would not be neces-
sary.
Some plants move much more easily
than others so it is we'll to know
which are the most available for the
purpose. Many may be safely shifted

Railroad Ernnomr.

The Baltimore and Ohio South West
ern Railway has been experimenting
with electric motors on turntables.
Turning locomotives at divisional
points and terminals is a service Of
much annoyance and no little expense
to railroad companies. It generally
takes four men to turn q locomotive,
and while they are doing SO their reg
ular work is abandoned.
Experiments were made with an
electric motor on the 60-foot turn
table at Chillicothe with such success
that the Park Street turn table in
Cincinnati was similarly equipped. The
result has been rather astonishing in
the matter OF expense. The current
was purchased from the power plant,
and 1t cost on an average OF less than
onehalf n cent for each time the table
was turned. When this same table was

Resource. of tho ArLnn.n. VALLEY.

Paul Morton, third vice president of
the Santa Fc Railroad Company. has
written n letter to james a. Davis, the
Industrial commissioner of the line, IN
which he urges that every effort be
made by the company's officers to de.
vclop the great resources OF the Ar.
kansas valley In Colorado.
In connection with this valley and
Its future the following suggestions are
made:
First-Evcrytliing possible should be
done to still further encourage the
sheep feeding industry. The banks In
the valley are. ! am told. glad to lend
money mt reasonable rates to parties
owning alfalfa and other feed who
wish to buy sheep. If the sheep arc
cautiously bought, good profit can he
made In this branch of the business.
New Mexico and Arizona can supply
the sheep. and the Kansas City market
demands them after they are fattcncd.
Second-Thc melon production should
bc pushed. Nowhere In the United
States can melons he raised more sue.
ccssfully. and nowhere In the county
have the melons raised established
such reputation as from Rocky Ford
and other points In the valley. For
flavor and general superiority these
melons cannot he beaten. and the de-
mnnd for them will more than keep
pace with the supply.
Third-More vegetables of all kinds
should he raised In the valley. This il
especially true OF potatoes. onions and
celery.
Fourth-Thc cultivation of the sugar
beet should be carefully and intclli-
gently experimental with. There IL no
doubt I'm my mind that the Dcopic Of
the United States are going to keep ut
home the S1o000O.G 600 that we are now
annually rcmitting TO foreign countries,
for our sugar.

success in the valley. the excellence
and lusciousncss of the peaches mud

II for granted that in n horticultural
way there is nothing more to he said.
Bee culture also promises to be n
very rcmuncrntlve pursuit In the val
ley. and 1t should not he forgotten TINT

WAR in rHE NAVY.
Long sAadins Disputs Bstwssn Two setl
OF O@clnls

Secretary Long has determined to
settle the long-standing dispute be-.
tween the financiers OF the line and the
staff Of the navy II such a thing Is pos
sible, and has appointed q board for
that purpose. Although the officers of
the stan. such as engineers, paymas-
tiers, surgeons, ETC., receive larger pay
than those OF the line, they have no au-
thority or rank. For example, beard.
less midshipman Just out of the naval
academy, II he happens to be officer Of
the deck, can issue orders to a chief
engineer or pay inspector or a medi-
cal director who have been In the SER
vice for a generation, and they are re
quired to obey him. The representa-
tives OF these different branches of the
service on ship have no authority
outside their particular Jurisdiction.
The paymaster can handle his money,
the engineer can give directions In the
boiler room and the doctor in the sick
bay. but every one of them is under
the absolute control of the captain AMI
the officer of. the deck, who Is the cap
tain's representative for the time be
ing and must do what he commands
or be concentrated for insubordina-
ton and sentenced to dismissal. Be-
sides that an engineer can never be a
commodore or an admiral. he always
as an engineer and he has distinctive
uniform, which Is not SO fine as that Of
a lieutenant. There are several other
causes Of complaint and the officers Of
the stan have had bills In Congress
year after year giving them the same
rank and authority enjoyed by officers
Of the line Of equal length Of service.
The omcers of the line resist such an
innovation and declare that II engi-
neers ana paymasters are to be put on
an equality with them In other respects
demands are compiled with the pay Of
the stan must be cut down or the nay
OF the line must be increased. All
these problems, which have caused an
enormous amount of controversy and
Jealousy, are now submitted to q board
