The HorserndishCron,

In growing horseradish the land
should be rich. well MANFRED, plowed
deep, narrowed and free from Jumps.
AS it is a great vegetable to spread,
plant each root in roomy space by it
self. Make rows Is inches apart and
set plants IL inches from each other.
Plant shoots about five inches long,
making holes for them with stick, and
set them about two inches under the
soil. Have the shoots cut squareIy
across the bottom, but cut slanting at
the top in order that one side may be a
little longer than the other. Keep free
from weeds for the first and second
seasons, after which the horseradish
will take care OF itself Dakota Field

FIRE BLIGHT IN PEARS.
A Disease That Has Done More Dam.
age to Growers Than All other
Affections Combined.

Bulletin 145, Cornell university ex-
pertinent station, Ithica, n. Y, gives
some valuable information concerning
that most pestilent disease, fire blight
in pears, which has done more damage
to pear growers than all the other af-
hictions combined.
Fire blight has been known in this
country for century, but was ascribed
to great many different causes until
Prof. J. T. Burrill. of the University of
Illinois, took the matteDup and discov-
cred that it was due to the work of bac-
terra, whichreproduce themselves in the
cambium Or new wood growth that
forms between the bark and wool each
year. This growth is soft and fun of
sap, and is exactly adapted to the re-
production of the bacteria ucing
the blight. Here it increases very rap
idly, extending it's field from cell to cell
and absorbing the nutrient juices Of
the tree to such an extent that the
branches infected finally succumb to
their attacks, the foliage showing this
condition by turning brown as if burned
by intense heat.
The only remedy is the heroic one Of
excision, and the knife and saw should
be used at any time when the disease
manifests itself. Cut. the affected
branches off and burn them, and BE- sure
to cut them far enough below the Wis
ible effects to cut out any part that
may be infected in the slightest de-
gree.
It has been found that no pear tree is
safe from the attacks of these bacteria,
although some are sold as blight proof.
IF the affected branches are cut away as
soon as the disease shows and careful
watch is kept all through the summer
to keep the disease from spreading. it
will often be stamped out in a single
season.

About Our Gore.
We have been asked by several pa
triots If we wanted to enlist and shed
our gore in behalf of this glorious old
republic. We answer that we do not
intend to-not at first. We have en-
couraged our marine. our agricultural
and our horse editors to enlist, and
two of the printers are going with 'em.
Inside of a month we expect to send
nine men from this Office. That means
we must take off our coat and become
typesetter and help about the press
work and put in about 16 hours a day.
We hope to do better work by staying
at home than by going to the front,
but if Spain gets our old Uncle Sam
down on his back he has only to give
one yell to bring our personal services.
We are getting along in years and we
are fat and subject to asthma; but let
the word come to US and we'll 90
marching through Cuba if we have to
take bellows along to furnish wind
to keep up with the boys.
Go Ahead, Boys.
Just as we go to press we learn that
there is move on foot to organize
company of 100 men in this town and
name them the Hellso rangers. There
is abundant material in Giveadam
Gulch for such an organization, and
when they get to work with their Win
chesters and revolvers the Spaniards
will wonder what arsenal has broken
loose. If we are honored by having
company named after US We'll send
every man to the front with all the
tobacco he can chew and all the whis-
ky he may want for month. But
whether named the Hellso rangers,
after US, or the Giveadamers, after the
Gulch, we say to 'em go ahead and
fill up the ranks and take whirl at
war. Cowpunching, broncho riding
and street affairs keep the blood in cir
cuIation and timber up the joints, but
for downright fun a man wants to
stand up in battle line. The expert
ence will be something to brag about
in the years to come, and every man
who goes to the front will feel that he
owns a larger slice of this country
than he did before.

UNCLE SANS RELICS.

viduai Omcers Had 60 Give Up Cap
turcd BattIeHaHs.
Somewhat late in the day, but with
much zeal and unrivaled resources, the
federal government has begun to make
a collection of Spanish war relics. Uncle
Sam isn't looking for stray shells or
battered Mauser rifles, so individual
collectors need not worry for the safety
Of their minor mementos. He is after
bigger game. Thirteen inch guns are
not apt to be lugged away even by the
most enthusiastic relic hunters, and
these are the kind Of keepsakes the old
fellow means to preserve.
At the various navy yards there have
already been collected a great quantity
Of salvage from Cervera's feet, but the
bulk Of it is being carried to the Wash
ington navy yard and ordnance factory
on the Potomac. The other day the
United States collier Leonidas put
ashore there several thousand tons Of
bulky war trophies which had been
taken from the wrecks Of Cervera's fleet
as they lay beached along the Cuban
coast.
The relics some Of which are massive
in proportions and in fair state Of
preservation, considering that they were
exposed to the confsgrations which
swept the Spanish ships and to the ao-
tion of sea water for nearly two months,
will be put into thoroughly effective
condition as far as possible in the ord
nance shops and will probably be dis.

try for exhibition, the majority Of them
being destined to ornament the Naval
academy grounds at Annapolis.
Among the trophies are four 8 y inch
guns, with their mounts and shields,
taken from the Infanta Maria Teresa
and the Almirante Oquendo, and ten
guns of various calibers from the Cris-
total Colon. The breeoh plugs of all
the high power rifles were not recover
ed, but they can be duplicated in the
gun factory from working drawings
which the naval attaches long ago Sc
cured abroad.
Much of the salvage, notably the gun
shields, shows the results of the terrific
fusillade maintained by the rapid fire
weapons of the Brooklyn and other
American ships during the stern chase
of July 3.
Among the other articles saved by
the wrecking company and brought to
Washington in the Leonidas was a
large quantity Of shells of all calibers,
including 100 of 10 inch diameter, an
anchor and lot Of chain, 40 barrels of
wine and the safe of the Cristobal Co
