A REMARKABLE ROSE TREE.
Measures Sixty Feet in Circumfer
ence and Is Still Growing.

Measures Sixty Feet in Circumfer-
ence and Is Still Growing.
A remarkable rose tree grows in the
garden of the Chateau Eleonore, in
Cannes, the summer residence of Lord
Brougham, a nephew Of the famous
chancellor. The plant is a variety Of
the tea rose known as Marie van
Houthe. Though only six years old, it
already measures sixty-seven feet in
circumference, and will, if permitted,
grow very much larger. Lord Brou-
CHAM attributes it's extraordinary d.
mansions principally to the soil, which
cosists of rich loan of great depth;
and also to the liberal way in which
it's appetite for manure is satisfied.
This tree is planted on the slope which
descends from the house to the main
road. 1t is Of interest to recall the
fact that the Chateau Eieonore was the
first winter residence built at Cannes,
which, it may indeed be said was lit
orally discovered" by Chancellor
Brougham, uncle of the present owner,
while In the beautiful garden not far
from the gigantic rose bush, is still to
be seen the tree beneath the shadow Of
which the great chancellor used to sit
toward the evening of his busy life.
The chateau itself remains much as it
was when he lived in it; but the gar
dens have been greatly extended and
improved, now containing a fine collec-
ton Of palms, cocos, shrubs and all
sorts Of flowers. The gardens are,
however, specially vamous for their
tea roses, of which $50 varieties are
grown, and are, beyond all question,
the finest in Europe. York Her

How Furs VIII Be Worn.


This season one has fine oppportu
nifty Of using advantageously all the
furs, new and old, in ones wardrobe,
for the fashion of combining two kinds
of fur on one garment, added to the
fact that many furs formerly out Of
sstyle are again In high favor, makes it
an easy matter for the maid who has
kept these valuable accessories Of win
ter toilets in some place where moths
did not corrupt. These may be gath
cred together, sent to a. fashionable
furrier and returned completely meta
morphosed into wraps both beautiful
and useful. a.'... ~ go
Persian lamb, chinchilla, sable, seal
skin and mounon, which is light gray
In color, are the most fashionable furs,
but all the cheaper varieties seem to
have their uses. Chinchilla is COM
bined with seal this season, and short
capes Of sable are used over longer
ones Of seal. The fur boleros will be
q useful fashion for those who have a
small amount Of fur to be transformed
into fashionable garment. These
are very becoming to slight figures and
very stylish with wide reNers. The
new fur COATS are rather short, not so
full In the basque as they were last
season, and have loose fronts.

Carrots for Live Stock

There can be no question as to the
descript classes are yet to be found at
great utility Of carrots as stock food
sure crop. They seem to agree well
with the climate, and excellently we'll
with the soil, at least with nearly all
varieties of the same. It is seldom in
deed that the crop fails with us if it is
given half chance. Carrots yield
enormously when we'll grown. They
produce in some instances at least
1000 bushels per acre. This, of course.
is above the average. But yields are
aftentimes obtained Of 500 to 800 bush
els per acre. The crop is good for al
most every kind of stock, and the
same is true Of the tops, and the tops
form a considerable item when soiling
is practiced. Carrots are pre- emi1entlN
useful for horses; they keep their di-
gestion in tone, and they are good for
the coat. They make an excellent food
for sheep, for mich COWS and for
young cattle, and there is no kind Of
field root that keeps SO well.-North-

The Name Montana"

It was the late James N. Ashley who
gave Montana its name, telling his fell
low congressman that it meant noun
famous country when they cautiously
said it was a mere onglomeration Of
letters constituting no word. Joaquin
Miller says that Montana has the only
classic name in the constellation of
states, but w. %. Sanders, librarian Of
the Montana Historical Society, thinks
this not strictly true, saying that all
though the word is originally derived
from a Latin root, it is really Spanish,
and pronounced Mon tah-nah." As to
the significance Of the word, Mr.. San
ders adds, no other one would so well
describe the Typographical charaeteris-
tics of the state, for, with the ranges
and spurs and isolated groups Of
mountains, the State Of Montana is in
deed a mountainous country Philadel.

The Fortunes of Actors.

The late James Lewis is said to have

fession. Besides, he was man Of
rather simple life and frugal habits,
and he was childless.s So there has
been some surprise expressed at the
fact that his estate is said to be under
$4,000, Of which a part comes from
his life insurance. The wealth, of
actors is a question about which it is
difficult to discover any real facts, and

BEWARE OF. STOCK HOGS.
Great Care Should Be Exercised In
Bringing Hogs on the Farm. =

Great Care Should BE Exercised In
bringing Hogs on the Farm.
The abundant corn crop will make
the search for stock TO which to feed
1T active this year, as it was last, and
the feeders of cattle will not only GO
abroad for steers, but, also, in many
instances, for stock hogs to follow. II
the lamp Of past experience is to guide
US ,tnls movement Of stock hogs is
almost certain to spread, in Il large per-
centage OF cases., serious attacks of
SWINE plague and hog cholera. Many
localities had this lesson last year and
tue year before, and will not bring
stockers from a distance on any
terms, at least, until they shall have
forgotten the lesson. Still. there will
be many who will again purchase
shoats to. meet their feeding wants,
and such persons, both for their own
sake and for the sake of the commune
ties in which they live, should sur
round their shipments with such rea-
sonable precautions as will tend to pre-
vent the shipment of disease along
with the hogs. 1t don't pay to buy on
speculation a lot of stock hogs from a
cholera district, no matter how low the
price. 1t don't pay to ship them in
cars that have been used for carrying
hogs, unless thorough disinfection has
been made in the interval, no matter
how low may be the freight. It don't
pay to Introduce such hogs upon the
farm and allow them to mingle indis-
crlminately with other swine, or to run
over the place SO, that if they are dis
eased, they may scatter the seeds Of
contaglon. Every farmer and feeder
who makes such purchases should es-
tablish rigid quarantine for at least
six or eight weeks. There need be no
red tape about it, as there is about so
many Of the official guarantees, but it
ought to be practically effective, so as
to minimize the danger. Indeed, no
stock should be introduced upon the
place without domestic quarantine pre-
cautions. Even additions of poultry
should be kept up for a time before
permitting the run Of the farm or to
mlngle with other poultry upon it.
This necessity for quarantine makes it
all the more necessary, in the case Of
swine, to buy breeding animals early.
They not only want to be accustomed
to the place before their use begins,
but they want to be Guaranteed on
the farm for an ample period before
such use commemorative Homestead.

Shed RoOst for Turkeys.

Turkeys will always seek q high
roost, and they resort to the tree limbs
instinctfvely to escape from enemies
that may reach them on the ground.
The limbs of trees, however, are. not
suitable roosting places, as the turkeys
are thus exposed to cold and driving
storms, frequently their feet becoming
frozen to the limbs. An open shed,
with roost as high as can be located, as
may be noticed in the illustration, will
serve as a. protection, and may be
made either of boards or by arranging
cornstalks on stakes and poles in some
manner so as to accomplish the plr.
pose.
