A recent conference in New York Of
national Republican leaders is said TO
have reached the conclusion that Nc
Kiney will in all probability be renomi-
mated by the Republicans next year, and
TO have thereupon proceeded TO discuss
the nomination for Nice-President. The
result was an agreement to the effect
that this nomination should go TO
Teddy" Roosevelt, In order TO make the
carrying Of New York by the Republicans
a certainty, if possible. Those who are
nearest TO Roosevelt however, do not
believe he would accept a vice-presidcn-
tial nomination, saying that vice-presi-
dents are not usually rewarded. with
presidential nominations. 1t is not at
all improbable that McKiney's friends
would be glad to have Roosevelt slated,
with Roosevelts assent for the second
place on the Republican ticket, as this
arrangement would remove the most for
midablc obstacle now in the way Of Nc
Kinlcy's denomination. Hence it looks
as if the New York conference. and the
suggestion emanating therefrom, were in
Mckinleys interest.

In the Setting mp" he gave the Presi-
dent on the Philippines situation. Sena-
tor Stewart declared that the hostile at
titude OF the Filipinos was due 10 the
acknowledgement and merciless severity Of
the United States military officials. Mr..
Stewart then went on TO charge that
General Otis had been as brutal in the
Philippines as Weyler had been in cuba,
ana asserted that evidence OF this was
officially on file in the War Department.
lie also said That he found a parallel
case TO Philippine management in the
horrible conduct Of many military COM
manders in the Southern States after the
civil war. who acted upon the theory
that military government OF communities
meant irresponsible despotism and the oX-
tinction of civil laws and private rights.
Truly this is a terrible showing for our
boosted civilization and humanitarianism
Bat bad as it u.s. we fear that the parallel
TO which Mr. Stewart refers is destined
to run further. After military despotism,

LARGE GAINS.

Wequite often see accounts of large
gains made on short feeds, and we all
want to know how this is done. Four
weeks ago the Experiment Station took
charge of four cows from the College
grade herd to fatten. The COWS were
being fed moderate milk ration, and
were In good shape. They were weigh.
ed three consecutive days, the average
of these three being taken as the be-
ginning weight. In the three days
weights there was variation, from
day to day, of from to 70 pounds
The cows were put on ration of / soy
bean meal and ( Kaffir meal, with corn
silage and Kaffir slower for roughage
ten days being taken to get them on
full feed. They were fed and watered
very carefully, and at the end of the
first week the four COWS showed a total
gain of 300 pounds, or 1917 ID. per
day. Here was the place to talk of
Large Gains. But the second week
showed loss Of nearly two poun ds
per cow per day, while the average
gain for the four weeks is little over
3 Id. per day. Moral Weigh m ore

TIE LOST CROP.

The losing of this years crop may
not be an unmltigP'ed Gala enity TO the
fruit grower. If he gives his orchard
the right kind of treatment, in a year
from now he will see that they will
be in better condition for further
bearing than they would have been
had they been allowed to 60 on and
bear their usual heavy crop. But
this will largely depend upon how
the orchard is managed, and there
are number of things that must be
attended to.
First, all the dead wood must be
cut away, and some that is not dead,
iu order that the remaining parts of
the tree may be able to make more
vigorous start 10 the spring.
Second, all the pruned-off wood,
whether IN the orchard or small fruit
plantation, should be burned to de-
stroy any insect or disease that may
infect it.
Third. the spraying must not be
abanded because the crop has failed
Begin in time and spray just as
faithfully as tho expecting big
crop of fruit. Spraying is likely to
be very effective this year, If the
directions on pruning and burning
are carried out, because the parts of
the tree carrying the disease and in.
sects have been largely destroyed.
There will be, consequently, fewer
enemies left to combat.
Fourth, the cultivation should be
thoro and good. This is necessary
in order that the tree may have
sufficient food supply for the vigor-
Gus growth which it should make.
These attentions are all necessary
to assist the tree in its recuperation.

THE ANNUAL FLOWER BED.

Give the water plenty of time tc
drain out of the soil before the flower
beds are made. It should be so dry
that when thrown from the spade it
will break apart readily. The soil
should be stirred to the depth of foot
at least; foot and half is better.
1t should be thrown up as loosely as
possible, and left exposed to the air
till it is in a condition to crumble
easily, before further work is done,
then some we'll rotted manure should
be added and mixed thoroly; this
should leave the light and mellow.
The ground should be good and
warm before the seeds are sown.
The design of the beds for Towering
plants should not be too elaborate, If
beds are wanted for producing strick-
ing efforts in outline or pattern work,
such foliage plants as Alternanthera
Coleus, and Tresines should be used
The beds should not be made SO
large or wide that they cannot be
worked without tramping over them.
1t is best not to have too many kinds,
If the space for growing them is small.
After the beds are made, smooth over,
and the seed is sown, the soil should
be frmed down, this brings the seed
in contact with the soil, and they are
less apt to dry out, and will germin-
ate more quickly. The soil should be
sprinkled at least once day; if the
weather is dry this should be done
either in the evening or early in the
morning. The plants from which cut
flowers are to be taken should be set
to one side or in corner of the flower
garden.
Plants for massing Plants which
produce bright colored flowers give
the best effect when massed together.
or these only few can be named
here: Petunia, Phlox, verbenas,
Carnations, Nasturtiums, and Bal
sans.
Plants for massing These can be
used along the borders of the beds,
and should all be low growing
plants, such as Candy -tuft, Sweet
Alyssum, and Lobella.
