the news OF what it had cost made their

A Denver Sensation.

hcNcIcuu Ilcu'y "ySiS VI ouC
Broadway temple of Denver preached
a sermon last Sunday, which he said
would start "every little country
editor to grinding his scissors and
dipping his pen to give me smell of
some Of his theological fire and brim-
stone"
Mr.. Myers is the successor to Myron
Reed who preached charity and took
the Kelley cure himself. Mr.. Myers
has evidently not gone back on the
traditions Of that pulpit for among
other things he is reported to have
said that "a city is safe when
gambling and rum-selling and sport.
ing, with all concOmitant associations
are localized and restricted, but it is
dangerous place when all those un.
avOidable and indestructible forms of
evil are forced by law to hide in some
dark and dismal subterraneOus den.
Let them (the religious peOple) go as
did to the Overland Driving park,
or to the gambling houses of Denver,
and they will be convinced that the
gamblers Of this city can give them
some practical points in ethics and
honor. They will be satisfied that
the horse racers, and prize fighters.
and rumsellers, are not the most
dangerous men in the world. What l
thought would choke me to death
twenty-five years ago, l can swallow
now with comfort and ease"
Doubtless the Rev. Meyers has be-
come so familiar with the bad men
whom he says he loves, that their
assaults upon society seem justitiable,
and society for abhorring them for
the evil they do to others seems
pharaisaical.
There has always been good deal
Of talk about the squareness OF
gamblers. But strictly speaking, a
man who makes his living by quilting
other people is SO crooked that no
just and generous dealing in other
matters outside of his business can
make him worthy OF respect. Mr..
Myers has too high an opinion Of the
gambler and too low an opinion of the
average man. For instance, he says
that scatter the gambling houses and
the saloons and you will have a
gambler in every ward, and a dis
tillery and brewery and saloon in
nearly all homes Every one
familiar with Denver can recall at
least twenty homes which would turn
into neither a distillery, nor into a
brewery, nor into a saloon II COlOradn
should adopt prohibition regime.
These lists would not overlap enough
to make the number of temperate
people in Denver incOnsiderable.
Yet the statement Of the man, who
claims to be a preacher, reads: "And
you will have brewery, a distillery
and a saloon in nearly all homes"
NEARLY ALL" means very many more
homes containing a distillery, brewery
and saloon than the homes without
these household cOnveniences. This
is Islander on Denver and the decent
people there doubtless repudiate the
Rev. Myers-his words and works.

THE CELERY cRop.
II the Plants Are Thrifty sna vigsss

Late as August.

In growing a good crop of celery .
supply Of thrifty, vigorous plants IL es-
sential. These may be grown in seed
bed. In order to have thrifty. vigor-
ous plants, the soil should be rich and
thoroughly prepared in good hills.
The plants must have plenty of room
to grow, and if they come up too quick
~ 1t will pay to thin out.
In many cases good top dressing
of wood ashes after the seed is sown
will be beneficial. Make the rows in the
seed bed about q foot apart. The seed
need very little covering, and it will pay
to firm the soil well after sowing the
seed; but il there is sufficient moist
ure in the soil 10 induce good ger
mination this is not necessary.
1t is quite an item to have short,
stocky plants, and II this is done the
plants must have plenty of room to
grow. Give cultivation to keep down
the weeds and the soil in good tilth.
Some celery growers prefer to trans
plant twice, cutting back the tops
slightly at the first transplanting. It
is claimed that by this plan more and
better roots may be secured.
After the plants have made sufficient
growth they may be transplanted where
they are to grow and mature.
In many cases celery may be grown
where an early crop has been grown.
The middle or latter part of July is q
good time to set out the plants, though
it may be done as late as August. AS
the transplanting is usually done at a
dry time, it will nearly always be good
plan to water the plants well an hour
before taking them up. Use water
enough to soften the ground, SO that
the plants will come up readily, and
without injury to the roots.
Work the soil deep and thoroughly,
and then mark out the rows four feet
apart, with the plants ten to twelve
inches apart in the rows. Water two or
three times until the plants start to
grow. Clean, thorough cultivation il
necessary in order to secure thrifty.

The Life Of Peach rree..

There is no reason for peach trees
dying out in ten years, "bearing them
selves out" some farmers will say.
What they mean is "being starved out"
A peach tree, barring accidents, should
be good for 25 years. 1t should, how
ever, have as good cultivation, liberal
feeding. and as much general atten-
tion as an annual crop. 1t should be
examined twice year for borers, and
when its limbs begin to die out and
look straggly-so that people ordinari-
ly will say it is played Quit should
be pruned back severely-cut way back
when new vigorous shoots with dark
green leaves will put forth, and the
second year after good crop may be
looked for. There are many 3o-year-old
peach trees in the country.-Journal Of

There are farmers who attach little
or no importance to the bones that
are thrown away and made no use of.
This is great mistake. They can be
utilized in many ways. They are an
excellent thing to make poultry lay, if
fresh and crushed fine with bone mill.
You can get mill for five dollars and
ifyou cannot conveniently purchase ono
at present, just crush them with
sledge or an ax. If you get mill you
can make bone meal, which is an excel
lent thing to feed to young chicks. They
can be placed around the roots Of
grape vines and fruit trees, to make
them yield better fruit. They also
make an excellent fcrtilizer.-Prairis
