Questions Thrown at Roosevelt
at his New York Meetings.

AT his meetings through the state of
New York. printed slips are presented
to Governor Roosevelt containing
questions which he declines to answer,
and these slips are distributed by the
tens of thousands among the people
so that every man has copy. Every
one of the questions pertains to a
neglected duty Or wrong that he has
omitted to have corrected, though
pleged thereto before his election as
governor.
Here are the questions that were
asked the governor:
II. Why did you not prosecute the
canal thieves as you promised when
you were candidate for governor?
20. Why did you not commence ac-
ton before the claims were barred?
's3. Why don't you have summons
issued against the ice trust? The only
way to commence an action is by sum.
mons. None has been served.
~. Why don't you remove the
mayor of New York for his connection
with the ice trust?
70. You have been only thirty-six
hours at the capitol attending to bust
ness since June 1. Do you think it
honest to take full pay during that
time?
'6. Don't you think candidate
for vice president should find courte.
GUS language to express his thoughts
and not call his questioners hood
lums, 'lshoboes, and 'drunks,' an6
without any knowledge on the subject
accusing them of working theil
mouths, standing against the flag,
and lacking patriotism

The contortions Of Hanna in I

the contortlons OF Hanna IN the
effort to extricate himself from bad
position are amusing. He denies hav-
ing said certain things in alleged inter-
views, but the fun begins when he at
tempts to explain just what he did
say. Hanna's revised logic finally Sits
itself down to the proposition that
there are no trusts. because the Sher-
man law and statutes in several states
prevent the existence of illegal trusts.
In other words, there are no trusts, be-
cause there are some legal ones. AS is
usually the case with orators who do
not weigh their words, Hanna gets
more and more muddled the more he
explains. boston Globe.

the people tired of Hannaism is the
fact that the glass trust is selling it's

it sells the same goods to the people

LEADS THE WORLD.
United States IL Now the Greatest
Producer of Iron, Steel and Coal,
as Well as Copper, Cotton, Etc.

The treasury bureau of statistics
has just issued commercial mono
graph on the iron and steel trade Of
the United States, treating of the re-
sources of this industry, its develop
ment, and its relations TO the domestic
and foreign markets. In this docu-
msnt the progress OF the iron and steel
trade is illustrated by maps and dia-
grams showing the distribution of iron
ores in Europe and North America, the
comparative development in the pro-
duction of pig iron by countries since
1878, the growth of the steel output
of the several leading nations, the
change in the relat ton of iron and steel
exports and imports, and the course
of prices for pig iron and steel rails IN
the United States.
The United States is now the worlds
greatest producer of iron and steel and
coal. as we'll as of copper, cotton, bread
stuffs, provisions and many other arti-
cles entering into the daily require
ments of man.
In a comparative survey Of the
worlds iron-ore situation, the remark
able fact is brought out that the Unit
ed States in 1899 produced 80 per cent.
of the worlds ore, or $4,000, 900 tons out
of total of s5,o0O.0Oo tons, in round
numbers. This quantity is somewhat
less than the combined ore output of
both Great Britain and Germany, In
Luxembourg, which produced
respectively IT and al per cent. of the
worlds ore supply. This alone gives
the United States the leadership among
the worlds great ore producers; but
this fact must be taken in connection
with GOAL production on which the
iron industry depends and Of which
this country produces 80 per cent. Of
the worlds output, while Great Brit
ain produces 80 and Germany 10 per
cent. With primacy in coal and iron
ore the position of the United States is
one of undisputed and permanent as
cendancy in her control of the raw
materials of iron and steel production.

BIRDS VS.. CUTWORMS.
A Practical Horticultural Gives His Views Pc
sardins the Worm Pest
EDITOR STANDARD:

EDITOR STANDARD:
AS l am often asked Have the cut
worms come to stay" I thought it
were better to answer the question
through your valuable paper Now as
to their staying, there is no doubt in
my mind about that, as they have
been with us as long as I have been
digging in the ground, and that is
over fifty years, and judging from this
years experience they have no inten-
ton of leaving. The cutworm is the
caterpillar, or grub, of the Hart and
Dart moth, Noctug Erclamationis.
He is such pretty fellow one almost
hates to kill him, but it has to be
done, as he is the author of a great
deal of mischief. There have been a
great many suggestions as to the best
way Of fighting this pest, from men
supposed to know what they are talk
ing about. They all mean we'll. OF
course, but their methods are not
practicable. where the evil is so wide.
spread. To talk of spraying, busting
with paris green, ETC., is worse than
nonsense. Then you ask, What shall
we do? I'll tell you. If you have any
boys, be sure they don't carry sling
shots, or any of those harmless. look
ing little guns, or in fact anything
that will endanger the life of bird,
for every bird killed means more
grubs. We have to admit that the
birds take little of our fruit, but we
will see how it works. If I have a
garden and cannot work it myself, and
if let another man have it on shares.
he is to give me half the crop. am
half crop ahead. That is the
principle Mcintosh, in his Book of
the Garden" advocates. He says we
can protect ourselves against birds
better than We can against the subter-
ranean enemies. Again he says. any
body that will kill a bird is barbara
an; he might have used stronger
word.
/ have said for some years past that
unless there was something done to
stop this destruction OF the birds We
would not be able to grow any crops.
If you think this is not true, come
over here and let me take you into the
Chinamen's garden. I am sorry for
them. They deserve a better fate.
They have worked hard. They have
used the best means at hand for fight.
ing those pests, and what have they
gotf Why they have ruined crops,
and 1 am sorry for them. Slug snails,
cutworms and cabbage aphis has been
their ruin.
Ihave spoken OF birds, this week, as
being our best friends as insect de.
stroyers. and l would like to impress
on everybody the importance of pro-
tecting them by every possible means.
We ought to get very stringent law
through the next Legislature for their
protection:
There are other helps in this work
of insect killing that l will speak Of
when feel like writing again.

SOME FACTS
Ut Interest to Fruit Growers - Black Spot Is
Caused by Fungus. Which Should Be Killed
BY Spraying in September.

OF Interest to Fruit Growers - Black Spot Is
Caused by Fungus. Which Should Be Killed
BY Spraying in September.
How do we know that this disease is
produced by fungus? Spores were
grown in artificial cultures. Limbs in
oculated with this culture showed all
the characteristics of the disease as seen
in nature; having produced the disease
by inoculating with the fungus we are
justified in asserting that the FAMOUS is
the cause of the disease. ''-Pryf. A. y.
C0rdiey.
If black-spot of recent growth be ex-
amined carefully it will be seen to be
covered by minute projections. These
projections contain the seed. They
appear early in June, becoming more
and more abundant during July, Au-
gust and September. BY October LIST,
large proportion of them have burst
open and discharged their seed. In
June, this seed is not ripe enough
to terminate; in July, it can rarely be
induced to terminate; but in October,
seed or spores are ripe and grow read.
lily. If the roots of the fungus have
begun to grow within the bark, spray
ing will not stop their growth; but
when the tree is sprayed with Bordeau
mixture. if the seed or spore should
fall on the tree it will not grow, as the
spore will not terminate in contact
with bluestone. For the same purpose
bluestone is applied to seed wheat, viz
to kill smut or fungus.
These facts show clearly that spray
ing for this disease will be most effec.
tive if done during September, October
and November. In August the seed is
not generally ripe. During November
the fungus will be growing under the
bark where spray cannot reach it.
We advise spraying early in Septem-
Der and again in the middle or to the
last of October, with: Bluestone, g.
pounds; unslacked lime, 4 to 6 pounds
water, so gallons. Dissolve bluestone
in wooden vessel with boiling water.
Slack the lime and add when cool.
Where young trees cannot be sprayed
the trunks and larger branches can be
protected by Bordeau mixture, applied
as whitewash, using broom or brush.
