Leaflrs, and Triumph Radishcs.
The Rural New Yorker recently made
comparison between the two unique

varieties Of radlsh-viz., Triumph and
I4eafiess. This showed that both kinds
are early and that there is but little
difference between them, the Leafless
being about three days earlier Now
the Rural illustrates the two, showing
little bunch of the triumph and a
single specimen of the Leafiess. The
quality is much the same, the keafiess
being rich, darkish crimson, the Trl-

splashed and dotted. The latter is

Horses that are idle in the stable or
that have only light work may be fed
few green oats without injury. But
they should on no account be given to
horses that have much work to do.
Green oats will give a horse the scours
more quickly than any other feed. The
soat hull initiates the intestines at its
best, and 1t therefore needs to be thor
oughly dried out before being fed. If
given 1t should have some old timothy
or meadow grass fed with 1t.

The prevalence OF yellows among
peaches makes their propagation by
budding danger in spreading the dis
ease. 1t is in the sap, and if any tree
which the knife cuts into to make a
place for the bud is affected with vel
lows, the faint will be retained by the
knife, and spread the yellows to all
the trees inoculated. 1t Is quite easy to
be sure that a rich, luscious peach is
not affected with yellows, especially if
gathered from the tree. The pit from
such peach ought to produce valu-
able Seeding and free from disease.
The low repute of Seeding peaches
dates from the time when the natural
fruit was about the only kind grown.
But even then some valuable seedlings
were found in every Seeding produced.

The Path. OF Destiny.


Go your own way; let me so mine:
For us the differing day-stars shine
Across the shifting waterway
That links to-day with yesterday
And kisses with regretful lips
The sands and the departing ships,
Whose top-masts, sinking in the sea,
Return no more to you and me.
Go your own way; each has his own
For us the differing day-stars shone
Above the hills that hurry down
The valley from the inland town,
Where bOyhood's changeful VOWS were
traced
In drifting sand, thus here effaced.
Go your. way; let each mans soul
Maintain its purpose and its goal.
The times are dead that called us
friends;
Our lives have different aims and ends.
Careers which satisfy like thine
Were never made for hearts like mine
That ache, that break, yet still afar
Pursue fame's fair, elusive star,
Until, beyond the realms of night,
Toll rises, star-like, avatar.
A god incarnate from each line
Where pain makes human thought di-
vine.
3 Across the understanding lakes
Whose low, recurrent thunder shakes
the sand whereon our pathways part
Mine to the height, yours to her heart
For us the differing day-stars slime:
Go your own way; let me go mine.

TO WORK WITH DEMOCRATS
National silver Republicans VIII
Probably Decide to Repeat the
Performance of 1890.

CHICAGO, Nov. 29.-The subcommittee
of the national silver republican ex-
ecutive committee appointed yesterday to
decide on the time and place for holding the
national convention next year and on some
questions affecting party organization handed
in it's report to the full meeting of the eX-
ccutive committee at its session at the
Auditorium annex today. Considerable time
was spent in executive session in discussing
the report which will be made public late
this afternoon. Chairman Corser of the
subcommittee said that the report would
recommend that the date and place of the
national silver republican convention be left
to the decision of the national committee
and that the question Of appointment of dele
gates to the convention be also left to that
body. AS the sentiment of the members Of
the committee Is apparently unanimously in
favor OF fusion with the democratic party
and the Endorsement of its platform and
candidates, it is probable that the national
committee will meet soon after the meeting
of the democratic national committee has
decided on the date Of the democratic con-
ventlon and will issue the call for the .con-
Yention to be held en- the same date and in
the same city as the democratic convention.
