Transplanting Shrubs in August.

To provide site for the new Wo-
mans Building at the State University
it was necessary to remove number of
Towering shrubs and evergreens, and
as work on the building could not be
delayed, the plants had to be trans
planted during severe drouth in the
hottest Of August weather. The work
has been done a month. All the how-
ering shrubs have begun a new growth
which, while it will probably interfere
with their blossoming next year, prac-
tically insures their recovery from the
transplanting; and the evergreens,
Judging by the appearance Of their fiol-
age are also safe.
The operation OF transplanting was
as follows: The new site for the plants
are in reach Of Eydrant, making daily
spraying possible. Extra large holes
were dug, some of them six feet in di-
ameter and three feet deep, and as the
ground was powder-dry at the time, the
holes were filed to the top with water
the day before the shrubs we're trans-
planted. By morning the water had
soaked into the ground. Each plant
was taken up with ball of earth about
four feet in diameter. and in most cases
the roots were kept covered with this
earth-ball; though occasionally all the
soil fell from the roots in spite Of the
greatest care. Not more than three
plants were removed1at a time, in order
to prevent the drying of the roots
Great care was exercised in getting
good soil well among the roots, and as
the holes were large the roots were
full room. The soil was frmed thor
oughly, the poorest soil being placed al
the top and the best in contact with the
roots. Every day for two weeks the
tops of the transplanted shrubs and
trees were sprayed, and thereafter
three times weekly, while at no time
has the soil about the roots been per
mitted. to dry. The conifers were
sheared of most of their new growtl

Cold Frames for Fall Gardens.

In few weeks, frost will kill oil out

for growing plants is provided the long
season Of winter vegetables will have
begun. The growing season can be
prolonged easily until December /, OF
even later, by the use of simple cold

provide for two crops of radish and one

beds duridg the winter, will enable the

The frames are made of any desired
shape and size, but the market gard
ners usually make them six feet wide
and as long as they may have sash to
fit. The regular hotbed sash are three
by six feet, so the frames should be al
exact multiple of three. 1t is usually
made of inch boards, 18 inches high a

pine strips connecting front and back
three feet apart on centers, and the ends
sloping on the same angle, so that thu

The First Pruning of Apple Trees.

Apple trees as usually set in orchard
are two or three years old. Sometimes
very strong one year old trees can be
secured, and these are the best of all
for planting. Iperfer whips to formed
trees; that is, trees consisting Of main
stem, with few or no branches, and the
branches to be pruned off when the
trees are planted. Such trees, if cut
back to length of thirty inches, will
push into vigorous growth, and by mid
summer will be ready for their first
pruning,
During the past week the apple trees
in the University fruit farm, planted
last April, have been carefully studied
preparatory to pruning. There are ten
trees of each variety and after carefully
measureing the growth, and determin-
ing the direction of each limb, / find
that each tree presents a separate and
distinct problem-no two trees grow
alike. The Jonathans as whole are
the most spreading in habit, but each
of the ten Jonathan trees differs widely
from its fellows, so no two can be treat
ed the same in the first pruning.
What can be done? The grower
should bear constantly in mind that
during the first year of his orchard the
shape of the trees are determined, and
all the subsequent growth emphasizes
the work of the first season SO the
first pruning of all must have for its
purpose the removal of limbs that are
growing in the wrong place, and the
encouragement of shoots where they
are needed to give symetry to the tree.
The removal is easily accomplished by
cutting out with pocket knife, leav-
ing not the least stump behind. New
shoots will be made to start from dor
mant buds if the more vigorous growths
are pinched at their ends; indeed, the
best pruning machines ever made are
the thumb and fingers, when iudicious-
ly used. A..
In the first pruning see that the
branches retained have a good strong
union with the main stem, avoiding
forks, and also that they are we'll spac-
ed along the stem, rather than group
ing closely together. Ipaefer an ap-
pie tree with center stem from root
to top of bud, and hence in the first
pruning endeaver to make the top
most shoot leader; but many very
successful growers train their trees tc
open heads from the first. Both sys.
tens are good if we'll cared for, and nc
system of pruning is good If it is moi
given continuous attention.

Twelve Summer Roses.

There are so many valuable roses
that bloom we'll in the cool weather of
early summer and fall that it is hard to
restrict ones list, especially as the rose
catalogues deal only in superlatives.
But comparatively few roses bloom
well during the hot weather of July
and August, Among the eighty va
rieties growing IN the University
grounds at Knoxville, the following
are the best summer bloomers. 1t is
not to be supposed that these are at
their best during the hottest weather,
for, while the rose revels in full sun
shine, it does not like extreme heat any
better than its gardener, and the
drought that usually accompanies high
heat is most unfavorable to roses.
Grand Duchess Victoria Meleta is a
splendid white tea, giving large buds
even at midsummer. Cornelia Cook is
also large, but its white buds some
times are green tinted and malformed.
Mad Abel Chatenay is hybrid tea of
usual color, the inside of the petals
deep flesh and the outside pink. Alex
ander Bernaix is hybrid tea of very
free Towering habit, flowers medium
to small, deep rose color. The nearest
approach to yellow rose in the Uni
veasity is Coquette de Lyon, tea, lemon
yellow at center, fading to white at
margin of petals-small but very free
bloomer. Ellie Lambert is white with
clear pink margins to all the petals
tea, free bloomer, rather small. Sa-
franc is a fayorite old tea, fawn or deep
cream color. It's small buds are very
perfect. Chlotilde Soupert and Mosel-
la, the best of the polyantha type, are
both good summer bloomers-the
former more free, but the latter more
perfect in shapd. Soupert is white
with pink center, Mosella is deep cream
color, but not at all yellow as described
in the catalogues. Clara Watson is a
hybrid tea of unusual excellence, Civ
ing very fine buds on long stems, deer
cream tinged with pink. Mad Mason
is the most perpetual bloomer of the 50.
called hybrid perpetuals-rosy red,
very fine when full blown. Meteor,
hybrid tea, is the best of all bright red
roses. The climbing form is quite as
good as the standard, but neither is
quite as free blooming as the remain.

Question Answered.

. Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale OF any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard Of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostration or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system, and stop fermentation of undi-
gested food, regulate the action OF the
liver. stimulate the nerves and organic
action of the system, and that is all
they took when feeling dull and bad

Remembered by Thousands at Sycamore
Shoals.
The celebration at the Sycamore
Shoals Tuesday, Sept. 95th, was a
grand success. The day was perfect,
and the people appreciating this fact,
fiocked from all points Of the compass
to participate in the patriotic COM
memoration of the 12Oth anniversary
of the assembling of the heroes of
Kings Mountain upon this historic
spot. The crowd which assembled
upon the ground was estimated at one
thousand people.
The Junior Order U. A. NJ. marched
from Elizabethton to the Shoals in or
derby procession, headed by a gaily-
bedecked wagon containing thirteen
lovely young girls representing the
thirteen original colonies.
The Gap Creek Lodge Of Odd Eel
lows also marched from their place Of
meeting to the point where the celebra-
tion took place.
The progrm was carried out with the
exception that A. H. Upton and Judge
Kirkpatrick were not present to speak.

Hon. Samuel Arnell then delivered an
eloquent address in behalf Of the

which concluded the exercises of the
morning. After dinner brief, but
earnest and interesting addresses were
delivered by Rev. ]. A. Nugent, OF
Knoxville, Judge Bowman, of Bakers

nell's address; also one in the form of 0
memorial to congress, requesting thai
body to erect suitable monument o.
Sycamore Shoals to perpetuate The
memory of the men who fought the
battle which turned the tide of the
revolutionary war. Both Of these reso
lutions were unanimously carried.
The celebration will serve to inspire

New Jersey in the Balance.

NSW OOAoOy 10 OhS Va VIZ luAilJ uO-
batable states in the present national
contest, with chances much in favor of
the democrats, if they shall be equal to
their great opportunity. The state is
naturally democratic, but was swung
from her long invincible moorings by
the political confusion of 1896, after
nearly quarter of a century of un-
broken democratic victories,
The state gave the democrats 10, 445
majority for president in 1876; 2,O10 for
president in 1880; 4, ,4l2 for president in
1884; 7,149 for president in 1888, and
IA, 974 for president in 1892. In the po-
litical hurricanse of 1896, Mckinley
carried the state by S7,609 plurality;
but in the contest of 1898 for governor,
in which the democrats were yet dis
cordant and half hearted, the republi-
cans were successful by only 5,490 ma
jority.
There has been nothing III republican
rule in New Jersey to commend it to
political favor beyond strict party lines.
The present state administration har
been Justly and severely criticised, not
only by the democrats, but by large
number of the more intelligent and con-
siderate republicans; and the democrats
have every incentive to unity and earn
est effort to redeem the state. They
certainly can do it if they will; and
with an overshadowing issue, involving
every cherished attribute of popular
government to inspire them to enthusi-
astic unity, they should rally in every
county and election district to give the
electoral vote of New Jersey to Bryan
for president.
The tariff question, once so vital in
New Jersey, has ceased to be an issue
OF moment. The industries of the state
under the new and swift advancement
in business conditions, with vastly en-
larged foreign markets, have very gen.
orally ceased to be in any degree de-
pendent upon the paternalism of the
government, and the supreme issue
that now confronts them is that of
naked Imperialism, that makes war re-
gardless of the constitutional war max
ing power, and that seeks to blend the
Capitalization of political and financial
affairs in the interests of the few at the
cost Of the many,
The Capitalization of political power
on an Imperial basis is the logical
foundation of the Capitalization of the
money interests, which today control
almost the entire industries of the ma.
ton despotic trusts, that arbitrarily
contrsl production, cost to consumers
and wages to workingmen. If this
policy shall be ratified by the nation on
the 9th of November, the people must
bow in abject submission to Imperial
mandates in politics and trade until
they shall be forcen to rescue them
selves by revolutionary political action.
New Jersey is a democratic state; the
lines which so sharply divided demo.
cratic effort four years ago have wholly
perished, and the demand for demo
cratic effort was never so imperative as
it is today. Let the democrats of New
Jersey organize their lines as they have
done in the past, and speak in thunder
tones at the next election in favor Of
government of the people, by the peo
pie and for the people. ."-Philadelphif
