The July Garden.

July is not an easy month IN the flower
garden, for the reason that the heat and
dryness of the weather make watering
mulching, and stirring of the top soil
quite essential to the steady growth of
the plants. If one stirs the soil around
the plants, and then covers it with mulch
of grass, many steps will be saved in
watering them. The plants respond quick
ly to such treatment, and it is better for
them than to receive watering every day
OF two for it.induces them to send their
roots deeper into the soil.
The seeds of few plants should be
put ill cool, moist bed this month, or in
boxes with freshly prepared soil. Seeds
of the pansies, carnations, and hollyhocks
should be sown now, either for next
spring or late fall use. Pansies started
now can be made to blossom late in the
autumn, and carnations grown from seed
this month will produce flowers late next
winter in the house. Although not very
good house plants, fair success can be
had with them Those left out of doors,
and heavily protected through the winter
will make a fine show next spring and
summer.
A good idea is to start many quickly
blooming plants from seed now, so
they can be taken up in the fall and
kept in the house. The seeds of
candytuft, sweet alyssum, and mignon-
cite sown in boxes or pots will
bloom late in the autumn, and keep
up their beauty in the house until nearly
Thanksgiving day. Other plants that can
be treated in the same way are rocket,
sweet william, pansies and verbena. A
spring flower garden late in autumn is a
novelty that recommends itself to all.

Items of Interest to Farmers.

This is great year Tor, the manufacture
ers of haying tools, especially moving
machines. There has hardly been a paral-
lei for a good many years.
\ dairy lecturer declares, with consid-
cradle truth, that if one-haf the COWS
now giving milk were carefully weeded
out and slaughtered within week, the
remaining half would net a greater profit
than is now realized from the whole. His
idea is that at least half the cattle do not
pay for board and labor, and whatever
they fall short comes out of the profits of
the good cows.

Sunset From Shore.

White sails turned pink, and prows grew
gold,
And spars We're made of light
On seas whose molten sapphire rolled
Far out to meet the night.
The mountains caught on crested crown
Pale amethyst and blue;
And deep in hollows gray and brown
The mist-veiled shadows grew.
Through long ravines the scarlet fire
Burnt like ruby red.
And famed on crimson wings still higher
The cloud host overhead.
Far to the east faint green in bars
Edged the seas mystery
And in the amber sky the stars
Awaked to ecstasy

Miss Clara J. Fisher is said to be the
first woman ever chosen to act as arbitra-
tor in labor dispute in this country by a
regularly constituted State board of arbi-
tration Miss Fisher was employed as
overseer for nine years with the B. Fl.
Spaulding Company at Milford, Mass.
Two years ago she left them, but when a
strike broke out recently over the ques-
ton what number of yards of straw sew
ed should constitute the unit of payment,
Miss Fisher was chosen by her former fell
low mployes as their representative. To-
gether with a man chosen by the State
board to represent the Spaulding COM
pany, she visited similar mills in the
neig hborhood, and in two weeks the re-
port was ready, which furnished the basis
of a satisfactory agreement.

Proposed Labor Commission.

The Senate has passed bill to create a
mixed commission for Investigating social
and industrial conditions in the United
States: a commission which is to consist
of five Senators, to be selected by the Vice
President; five Representatives to be Sc
lected by the speaker of the House, and
ten representatives. of various trades and
industries, to be nominated by the Pres-
dent, the commission to continue in ex-
istence for two years. During that time
there is no doubt that such a commission
will be able to collect most valuable ma
Cerials for the guidance of Congress in
future legislation upon industrial and
commercial questions. But experience
shows that Congress gives too little heed
to the reports of such commissions, too
little heed to the messages of the Pres-
dent of the United States. Sixteen years
ago commission selected by President
Arthur was appointed to revise the tariff.
That commission reported recommending
a reduction in the tariff of 20 per cent.
Congress did not see fit, at that time, to
follow the recommendation of the com
mission, and as the sequel proved, Con
gress was right. But it does not follow
that because Congress did not follow the
recommendations of the commission it
would not follow the recommendations of
the commission to be created by this bill.
President Arthur's commission had only
the tariff to deal with; not so this COM
mission Then the tariff was still a moot
ed question; to-day that question is set
tied. Vital questions concerning the
industrial and commercial interests of this
country are still to be settled, and as they
are settled wisely or the reverse will de-
pend the future progress of the industrial
and commercial interests of this country.
