HORTICULTURAL HINTS.

The English ivy does not harm a tree
on which it grows.
See if a little less water on irrigated
land will not be better.
Fruit when placed in cold storage
should be firm and hard.
SpriGkling plants with water, when
frost is expected will protect them
Pears TO be put in cold storage should
be picked before they begin to ripen.
Watermelons ought not to be grown
on the same ground oftener than three
years
The grape vine trained TO a single
stake has never done its best in our sx-
perience.
Tomatoes are SO hardy that they may
be transplanted even after the fruit
begins to set.
If grapes have been planted too close
~ and become too thick, better take
out every other vine.
The man who gives plants of all
kinds plenty of room and heroically
thins his fruit, will get the best re-
sults.-Western Plowman.

DIED AT HIS POST.
A Reporter Who Was Faithful in
His Work,

Matthew Donzelot is still remembered
i'll Paris as one of the most faithful and
courageous men who ever served a paper
as reporter. His last assignment and
what came of it is told by NJ. Trimm in
the Petit Journal.
One day riot was apprehended, and
DonzeEot was sent to the Pantheon to
report the events in that quarter. AL
ready the stones were flying. and the
lawless mob had begun to tear up the
streets and barricade them.
One of Donzelot's friends saw him as
he was running by. and said to him:
What are you doing here? Run and
save YOURSELF"
Donzelot made no reply. and again his
friend urged him to leave so dangerous
a spot.
Il am not going to move" he said;
''but as you are going. kindly take this
copy along with you to the paper; you
will save me time"
An hour passed, and the disorder was
at its height. The mob had already be-
gun to clash seriously with the authori-
ties. Suddenly the garde rationale fired
volIey, and Donzelot fell, his breast
pierced by a bullet. A surgeon rushed
UP to him.
You are hurt?" he asked.
YES" replied Donzelot. seriously.

''Never mind your pencil" returned
the surgeon, sharply. The question is
to save your life
Don't be in hurry" returned Don
zclot, quietly. ITO each man his own
duty. Mine is to get the story, and you
must help me. Here, write at the foot
of this page this postscript: 1920 p. m.
At the fire of the troops three men fell
wounded, and one was killed."

fell back dead.-Youth's Companion.

CELLAR ROOT BINS.
When Constructed Properly They Are
of Immense Value to Garden
erS and Stockmea.

Roots stored in large bulk exclude
air, and this condition promotes decay,
especially when they are gathered hur-
riedly and not properly cleaned; the
fall isoftentimeswet, and roots gathered
in such weather have to be rehandled
or sorted during the winter. Some
years ago, the writer had occasion to
refit an old cellar for large crop of
roots-carrots, mangels, potatoes and
turnips. This was done by placing two
by four hemlock studs about three feet
apart up and down against the ends
and sides of the cellar; one by two
Turing strips were nailed to the stud
ding, spacing the Turing about one
inch between the Stats. Then, at inter
walls of 80 inches, upright studs were

CULTURE OF PLUMS.
How 40 Fight and Destroy the Worse
Enemy of This Fruit, the
Insect Curculio.

The signs of attack OF the curculio
and the course to be pursued for its
radiance are well known, but continued
inquiries as to the cause of decay of i'm
mature plum fruit show the necessity
for repetition. The chief enemy of the
plum is the insect curculio, and its raw
ages for awhile caused a cessation of
plan ting this fruit in many sections, but
with little attention, such as all fruits
will require, serious trouble can be
avoided and perfect fruit had. Perhaps
the oldest plan for Kidding the trees CT
the pest is to violently jar the trees
with a small padded log from time to
time after the leaves have appeared.
when the insects would first appear. A
sheet arranged beneath the trees
catches the insects that fall by the
Earring. and they are thus collected and
destroyed. At this period the mature
insect, in the form of beetle, is at
work feeding on the leaves. If let alone
the real destruction is begun as the
fruit is set, when eggs are deposited
therein in great numbers-it is said at
the rate of ten a day by each female.
Even in small private orchards it is now
being found advantageous to resort to
trees. anu pY
many it will be found equally con-
venient to use this method of destroy
ing these insects. A solution of the
well-known Bordeaux mixture and d.
luted paris green would be effective
in this case, and would at the same
time act upon any fungus that might
be present. Many of our private gar
dens lack the plum, one of the most de-
licious family fruits, merely because of
this little difficulty, which is really not
as great as is usually considered. The
advent of the japanese varieties, switch
have not thus far been found out by
the curculio, has, to a degree, lent en-
couragement to the planter; but there
are some of the old varieties that could
not we'll be replaced, and it Will be
found profitable to give n little care to
them rather than sacrifice their good
qualities.-Meehan's Monthly.

PRESERVING FLAVOR.
Come Points to Be Considered and
Precautions to BE Taken In the
Evaporation of Fruit.

In evaporating fruit TO develop fruit
sugar fruit cells must be kept whole
and for this purpose it is necessary
that the tempera ture should not be too
high at first, as excessive heat bursts
the cells. which prevents the proper
chemical change taking place, says the
Northwest Horticuiturist. If circula-
ton is sufficient the heat should be
increased during the curing process.
This will develop fruit sugar while the
moisture is being carried off in the
best possible manner, and the fruit will
be sweeter, heavier and have its nat
ural flavor preserved better than if a
high heat is used at the beginning.
Fruit not properly ripened is insipid
or tasteless. The saccharine ferment
that is necessary in all fruit to change
the different properties into fruit su-
gar has not taken place. Now if this
agent is allowed to con tinue a certain
length Of time it will carry out the
natural law in ripening up the fruit.
The value of heat, if properly applied,
- TO coagulate albumen, drive out eX-
cess of moisture, to prevent fermenta-
ton. Fruit properly cured is sweet,
heavy, wholesome and will keep longer
than if cooked" by too high heat, es-
peciaily at the beginning and by hay-
ing insufficient circulation of air. It

at less expense than by the former i'm

to inaugurate the attack upon
Bryan and the things Bryan
represents is w. r Hearst, who
was western man until he
went to New York and became
inoculated with the virus of
Wall street. Hearst supported
Bryan in the last campaign,
but since then the evidences
are that he has been "con-
verted."
The daily press of the coun-
try recently contained tele-
graphic dispatches, bearing
excerps from an editorial in
the Journal, which was signed
by Arthur McEwan, it's chief
editorial writer. It called for
the demolition of Bryan and
the selection of another leader.
McEwan, of course, is of i'm
portance only as the hired
hand and mouthpiece of
Hearst, and Hearst is of i'm
portance only as the mouth
piece of the eastern gang.
McEwan is best remembered
upon the Pacific coast, where
he lived and worked for many
years, as journalist who,
when drunk would stuff his
trousers into his boots, put on
a pair of spurs, stagger into
the editorial room of the Ex-
aminer and lie down on the

things considered, an admir-
able selection, most fitting
