HoRsERAD1sH CULTURE.
in Places Where the Business
Is Not OverdOne.

Since the use of grinders. instead of
graters, for preparing horseradish for
the table has come into fashion, the
cultivation of that pungent plant for
market purposes is likely to be, or
has been. greatly accelerated. l have
been more or less familiar with it
from my boyhood, but it is only re-
Gently that | have learned how to
grow it. If grown merely for home
use, it can be made to occupy any
out of the way corner, but if grown
for market it can be planted between
rows of early cabbage or other first
crop and allowed to grow as a "fol-
lowing crop until wanted for use.
had always understood that the prop
er way to propagate it was to reset
the tops, when detached from the
roots. to form new roots; but / find
that those simply produce large
lunches of small roots, like the root
of tree, which. if cut off, will throw
out a bunch of small feeders, while
a long thin root stuck in the ground
will produce a new top and fine
large root for the next digging
Hence. | consider it good plan fol-
those who grow horseradish from
year to year to set the detached tops
in the ground one year. to raise large
numbers of small roots for AGAR

TALK ABOUT GRATING.
the Common Work Usually Done
ON the Farm.

There seems 20 be a tendency among
the so-caled professional erafters TO
convey the impression that grating is
an art requiring large amount of SIKH
and practice While 10 become an eN-
pert may require much practice. and
fair amount of mechanical ability. TO
become good CRATER requires less
practice than much of the common
work done on the farm such a digging
potatoes. etc. These are many reasons
why farmers and fruit growers should
learn TO do '.heir own grating, and es-
pecially the young people. profess
sional CRATER often cuts his scions in
large quantities. and have known
them to Gu, many hundreds from trees
whose variety l was sure they did not
know. often rel ing on their own over
estimated ability to Judge OF the vari-
ETY. by the looks of the tree. If the
owner does the work himself he is apt
to take more interest in the future care
| and if the tree is large the entire top
should not be changed at once.
Grating is one of the things that
should be taught in our rural schools.
and if properly done the children al
ways take a lively interest. 1t also

on large trees by inserting in a small

USEFUL WINTER WORK.
Should Engage the Attention
of Thrifty Orchnrdists.

Diseases sometimes almost imper-
ceptib.y spread in winter. No matter
how careful the grower may be he
will frequently leave fallen fruit. cead
grass. leaves or other refuse materials
around the trees in winter. They are
the vehicles of germs, and as the
winds scatter light substances to
other locations the failure to clean
away the refuse from Il single infect
ed tree may cause the spread OF dis
ease over the entire orchard. It. is
useless to cut away dead limbs and
burn them if the spores of fungus
diseases can be scattered broadcast
by materials that could easily be
cleared up and in short time. Work
during the winter can be done TO
good advantage in destroying the
borers, and the eggs of the millers
which produce worms can be cleared
from the trees: in fact. every tree
will be benefited by scraping and
washing with strong solution of I've.

Single Stem Tomato Vine.

Southern growers of tomatoes for
northern markets practice a peculiar
system of pruning. All the lateral
branches are pinched out as soon as
they appear, thus making a vine of a
single upright stem. When three or
four clusters of fruit have set the top
of the vine is also pinched out, thus
stopping growth entirely. 1t is claimed
for this rather drastic treatment that
it makes larger and earlier fruit, and
that it tendz ts' make the crop mature

Colonel Major Jeltz on the death
aLd burial of a good man:
Last Sunday was a memorial day
Tor the solemn occasion, being the fun
eral Of William Slaughter, who left us
on last Friday morning. William was
sick only four days. He came home
quite sick with a chill the early part
OF the week and from that he never re-
covered. No one at that time imagined
that he would soon lay his deathly
hands across his peaceful breast and
breathe his life out softly and sweetly,
but. alas, he is gone.
William was great favorite among
his parents, sisters and brothers, es-
pecially. William lived only a brief
period 1t seems he was plucked in the
prime of his life; whose mortal exist
ence promised to do great good in this
wide world of ours
William was born in the state of
Kentucky in 1865; he was in his 30th
year He was an Industrious young
man, who from duty never shirked: ne
was honest in his dealings, true and
noble. He was formerly married. but
lost his beloved wife last summer. of
whom he was much devoted He left
no children. but a kind mother and
sisters, brothers and other kindred re-
Iation, besides their intimate friends to
grieve their loss
No better tribute OF respect could
have been paid to any Of them than
was paid to the deceased or to the
members of this kind family. He was
an active worker in the Sunday schools.
and his former class presented the de-
ceased with many floral offerings TO
enliven the broken spirits and sallow
faces OF his parents, sisters, brothers
and his many friends. We are informed
that William professod a hope in Christ
and confessed his sins, which is the
greatest Of all. May he rest in peace:
may he rest from his labor.
THE Rev. Owens selected a very fav-
orite verse for the occasion. and what
he said on the many good customs and
traits of the deceased We're very touch
ing, with much sympathy for his be-
reaVed friends and parents When the
strong hand Of death lays the nnyster-
ious and heartfelt grip upon its vic
tim What is consolation? oh. death
where is thy sting? Grave. where is
thy victOry2' Then we read and think
again Of the sweet selections of the
once brave and jealous warrior who is
known in the battles of life as a SOL
dler. In the following lines we find
consolation:
Rest gallant soldier, thy warfare ell
soon be over,
And then, gallant soldier will sIeer
forever more. (Rest.)
