For several weeks past the animal has spent all his
time In the fields and woods. hunting and killing

When Dan spies n snak. he dashes round ard

Propagating Roses.

Almost every one who cares for
flowers at all loves roses. But per-
haps every one does not know how
easily they may be propagated. Let
us plan for a bed of ever-blooming
roses next summer. Begin by Dig
ging the soil to depth of fifteen or
eighteen inches in q sunny, we'll
drained spot. Work in quantity Of
well-rotted manure-that from the
cow stable preferable. Cut or break
branch five or six inches long from
the rose, choosing wood grown in the
early part of the season, which is now
ripened. Plant three or four inches
deep, pressing the soil firmly about
the cutting. Invert glass fruit jar
over each one, burying the top Of the
jar deeply enough to keep it steady.
The cracked jars which every house
keeper has left over from the canning
time will answer for this purpose.
This planting may be done any time
in November or even in December, If
the earth is not frozen. When the
first warm days come in spring lift the
jars off and begin to harden the
plants, being careful to replace them
at night if there is danger OF frost.
Very probably there will be, even in
April, times when it will be best to
keep them covered both day and
night. The uncovering may be de-
ferred until settled warm weather. In
this case it will be necessary to shade
the plants from the midday sun for a
time.
Plants thus started are on their
own roots, and do not need to be dis
turbed by transplauting. 1t is sur
prising how much bloom they will
give, even the first summer. By ex-
changing cuttings with friends one
100 .~~~ have a good collection of
4ooos Va. expense. Endeavor to
obtain Varieties which. while hardy,
will flower at Intervals during the
summer and fall. There are many
such. hope in the future to give a
list of the best of this class.
have suggested placing the cut
tings in bed rather than scattering
them on the lawn, because with ;his
arrangement they can more easily be
given the cultivation which is essen
tial to the best success. New York

Political Uses of Tin.

"An ordinary political campaign
said novelty manufacturer rs not
an unmitigatcd evil to all branches Of
trade. Among those that profit by it
are the tin can manufacturers. Most
of the campaign buttons are made of
tin; and when & big political struggle
is expected the makers send out
agents through the tin factories Of the
South to buy up AL the waste tin and
useless cans they can find TO make
their buttons with. Most of the cam
paign buttons are made in Newark,
and the amount paid by the makers
to the can factories. particularly those
of Baltimore. is considerable. even
though the tin is waste. if anything
can be called waste nowadays. Nor is
the tin waste useless, even when no
political excitement is on. | know a
man who visits Baltimore at regular
intervals and buys all the scrap tin
he can find and sells it to the button
