horticultural BrevitieS.

American Gardening tells Of the pro-
duction Of a remarkable new race Of
hardy evergreen roses by W. A. Manda
of New Jersey. The seed parent is Rosa
wichuriana.
There is nothing worse in the culti-
vation of fine specimens Of chrysanthe-
mum than to let pottsd plant get
thoroughly dry.
Palms, some Of the ferns and some
grasses are now treated in such a way
with chemicals that they retain their
natural texture, shape and color indefi-
nitely. They are prepared by dealers for
decorative use in houses in place Of the
living plants.
A gardener advises in American Gar
dening that in growing calceolariss the
little seedlings should be pricked off as
soon as they are large enough to handle,
especially if damping off should make
it's appearance.
Gardening says the easiest way to
catch the blister beetle that devours
asters and some varieties of clematis is
to take tin pan eight or ten inches in
diameter, pour in an inch or so Of water
and then little kerosene oil. Hold the
pan under the plants and shake them,
and Mr.. Beetle will drop into the oil.
1t is said that the clematis as bed
ding plant, pegged down as are verbenas,
will in light soil give mass Of the
richest bloom from July until fEOstS
make an end to it. ~

News and Notes.

The statistician Of the department Of
agriculture, from preliminary returns
on the acreage Of corn, estimates re.
duction of 3 per cent from the area har-
vested last year. There is decrease Of
602, 900 acres in Illinois, Of 309, 900 III
Iowa, Of 66l, 900 in Missouri, Of 1872, =
900 in Kansas, and Of $4,000 in Ne
braska.
A beekeeper says that those beekeep-
ers living in or near town would do
we'll to exert themselves in inducing
the town people to plant Eastwood trees
in preference to other kinds.
American Cultivator says that when
there is a fair set of fruit on trees or
vines, If the fruit continues green longer
than it should, a quantity of nitrate of
potash very largely diluted with water
will have most extraordinary effect in
Fastening its ripening.

AWNLEss BRONZE GRASS.
Valuable and Remarkable CharaoSeristiGs
Observed In Testa.

OUaSANgW Al AgnN3s
Two notable claims advanced for
Bromus inermis, commonly known as
smooth, armless or Hungarian bronze
grass, are its excellent endurance Of
summer heat and drought and its ability
to grow on comparatively poor and hard
soil.
This is q perennial grass with creep.
ing root stalks that send up erect,
strong, smooth stems from Is to 4 feet
high. with q free growth Of leaves, and
bears an abundance Of seed. 1t has been
well recommended for light soils in re-
giOns subject to extremes of temperature
or long periods Of drought, where the
finer grasses do not thrive. Some years
ago the South Dakota station said Of
smooth bronze grass that it was the best
grass yet tried at that station, catching
well where properly sown, giving %
good sod the first year and fair yield
of hay in favorable seasons TIL, for
age, though coarse, was considered OF
excellent quality and under ordinary
circumstances large amount of early
spring and fall feed could be obtained
in addition to a good yield Of hay.
Awnless bronze grass is reported as
remaining green in winter in the south,
where it is esteemed for grazing. 1t
grows we'll in cold climates, and Ca
madam reports speak very highly Of it,
both for nutritive qualities and luxuri-
ant habit of growth.
In the report of tests with this grass
under the direction Of DR.. Saunders Of
the Canadian experiment stations it is
mentioned as doing we'll on alkaline
soil. The report further says: "Not only
does awnless bronze grass thrive in the
rich, moist soil of the eastern provinces,
but its growth and productiveness are
so wonderful even in the dry plains {
the west that its cultivation may he
said without exaggeration to have
solved the problem Of fodder production

Little Horses Not Wanted.

For years the standard Of the market
for horses has been steadily advancing.
It takes better horse nowadays to be
called a good one than ever before. He
must have more quality, more style
and, above all, more size than ever.
The last is especially important. A
horse must be Of good size for his class
to bring q good price. A little draft
horse is chunk and maybe poor one
at that. A small driver is not wanted
by men who can afford to pay good
prices for driving horses and is too
small to work. If a man is breeding
drivers to sell, he must get the size.
He cannot afford to risk getting ex.
treme speed one time and losing the
other things nine times. He must breed
for quality, style and size, and all the
speed he can add thereto will profit
him. But farmer cannot afford to
breed small horses on the chance of get
ting speed, for too often he doesn't get
it or doesn't know when he has it. Get
them good and big, and they will sell

Than RadlnG.
The Horseman has gone to q great deal
Of expense Of late to secure information
which would tend to show the charao-
ter Of horse that sells ON the open
market for other purposes than racing.
Every breeder is anxious TO possess this
knowledge because no matter how sue
Cessful he may be in breeding reliable
race horses he is sure to have some that
are not suitable for this use or he may
be fortunate enough TO raise an animal
that will bring more In the market for
carriage or coach purposes than 1t could
earn ON the track In the horse that is
disposed Of in the general market breed
ing goes for but little as Il general
thing, for tho reason that the buyers
look to the individual rather than the
breeding The Horseman makes 1t a
point to ascertain the breeding as far as
possible, however, of the horCes which
sell for good price, so that owners and
breeders can profit by the experience Of
others and learn the lines that produced
the salable horse
In an illustration is reproduced q pho
tograph Of horse that sold ON the open
market recently at Kansas City for
$3.50. This is not a sensational price,
but itrepresents figure at which breed
ers can afford to raise horse and sell
him at a profit. It should be borne in
mind, too, that this price represents the
figure paid by u dealer who bought the
horse as an investment and who in turn

doubtless turned him over at a respect
able advance as soon as he found one Of
the many buyers who are always look
ing for a we'll turned animal. This
horse came into the market with his
breeding absolutely unknown, and nei-
ther the consignor nor consignee cared
rap how he was bred, They were
practical enough to see at q glance that
he had the style, conformation and fin
ish of horse that could be sold on any
market at a good figure, and his breed
ing was not matter for consideration,
1t is unfortunate, however, that his
blood lines are mystery, because IL it
was known what happy Cross produced
such satisfactory results others could
follow these same lines with profit.
Haphazard breeding Of horses for car
riage and coach purposes will result as
disastrously as the same method applied
to breeding for speed.

on large scale in the arid western Sec
tions. Under irrigation bronze grass
has given On 200 acres of land the enor-
nous yield Of Az tons per acre. One
notable feature which distinguishes this
grass is that, while most grasses, after
the Towering period, deteriorate rapid
ly while the seeds ripen, awnless
bronze grass can be left standing until
the seeds are fully ripe, yet the hay
crop will be heavier without being
poorer than if it had been cut while in
flower, as should be done generally for
all other hay grasses in order TO get the
best value. This remarkable character.
istic of this grass is due to the fact
that after the seed bearing stem has
grown up great number Of leafy shoots
spring up from its base"

A RUBBER BACK.
Phoenix, March 10th, 1898.

"A cat will fall on it's feet always, while a coon will always land on it's back" commented an old hunter as We galloped through enc of the mountain hOllows in southwestern Missouri. "I s'pose the reason is obvious. A coon has an Inje rubber back
 "A rubber back ?' incredulously.
 "Sure's you're born. A coon'n fall from the topmost branch of the tallest tree on it's back every time. The fall would kill any other animal. How about the coon? He just punches up in the air about 25 feet like a rubber ball and comes down on a dogs neck. Why, I've seen a coon bound like ba- by's rubber ball.
 "I have been told-I've never seen it that the coon's favorite amusement is bouncing. One'll drop from trec and bounce; then another'il ,lrop and bounce, and they'll keep that up by the hour. So I say a coon has real rubber back" (All of which will not be found in any book on natural history. )-De- troit Free Press.

quired, whether words of encourage ment or substantial aid. ' And what of him as friend-was he loyal and faithful there? A multitude will testify to the abundance of time he found, even when his great, generous heart was throbing low, to devote to their inter- est. Truly sacrifice for them largely contributed to his death, and suggests the lines (with slight paraphrase) to the eulogy to the poet White, whose youthful end was attributed to too jealous application to his studies: When life was in it's spring,
 And thy young muse just waved
 her joyous wing, The spoiler swept the soaring Tyre
 away,
 Which else had sounded an im-
 mortal lay Oh! What a noble heart was here un-
 done,
 When science, self destroyed her
 favorite son! Yes, she too much indulged thy fond
 pursuit;
 She sow'd the seed, but death has
 reaped the fruit Twas thine own genius gave the final
 blow,
 And helped to plant the wound
 that laid thee low: So the struck eagle, stretched upon the
 plain,
 No more through rolling clouds to
 soar again, Viewed his own feather on the fatal
 dart,
 And winged the shaft that quiver-
 ed in his heart; While the same plumage that had
 warm'd his nest,
 Drank the last life-drop of his
 bleeding breast Keen were his bangs, but keener far
 to feel,
 He nursed the pinion which im-
 pelled the steel. But the last two lines do not apply to Joe, for there is reason to believe that one of his best cancellations was that he had been useful to others, and during the last few weeks of his ill., ness he was more than once heard re- peat: Greater love than this hath no man, that he lay down his life for his friends"
