Hort,cu,tur., Observations.

Prof. E. S. Goff says: The Wiscon-
sin oar crop of 1898 was estimated by
the United States Department of Ag-
ricuIture at 100000 bushels, valued
at s15, 500, 900. Allowing an average of
five per cent, which is probably not
an excessive estimate. the smut tax Of
1898 in our state amounted to about
S775, 900.
In plants like the apple, which are
widely dispersed by means of graftage,
there is more or less departure from
the original type. The Newtown Pip
pin, which originated in Long Island, |,
has varied in Virginia into the Abe
marie Pippin, poorer keeper than the
original. In the Northwest it has va
ried into a form which has five ridges
at the apex, while in Australia it is SO
different as to have been renamed the
Five Crowned Pippin
All plants are made up of a success
sion or colony OF shoots, originating in
buds. These shoots show as much
tendency to vary as do seedlings. The
degree of variation is not usually as
great, since the latter unite the quail
ties of two parents, while the former
are the product of one parent Never
theless, sudden and marked bud varia-
tions are not uncommon AS a mat
ter of fact, many of our cultivated va
rieties have originated from bud
sports. The nectarine came from a
branch OF the peach A French horti-
culturist gave, in 1865. list of 15a
commercial varieties which had origi-
mated by bud variation. white Prof
Bailey estimates that there are over
300 such sorts grown at present in our
own country.

THE lot should be inclosed with a
substantial fence, so it will be impos-

be one of the restless sort he will not

and the boar that does not eat well

The OratOD That Has
Stirred All Europe.
Delivered by Secretary John
Hay at the New York
Chamber of Commerce
Banquet on Nov. 10.


Mr.. Hay began by explaining how he had
been asked to fill the vacancy in the list OF
speakers caused by the death OF President
Mckinley, and of the universal sorrow the
event caused.
Gone simple reason why the millions OF
this country m9urned him as if they had
buried brother, and why all the nations Of
the earth felt that his death was loss
to humanity at large,n said Mr. Hay, s'was
that he loved his follow men. There were
literally no bounds to his lavish good will.
In political genius, in wisdom for government,
in power of controlling men, he was one OF
the elect of the earth, there were few like
hlm-but in sentiment and feeling he was
the most perfect democrat ever met.
"He never knew what it meant to regard
another man as his inferior or superior
Nothing human was alien to m. Even
his death was in that sense significant. He
was slain In the moment when, with that
delightful smile we knew SO well-which
seemed like the very sunshine OF the spirit
he was stretching forth a generous hand to
greet the lowest and meanest unit, and in
that crowd of many thousands he made no
demagogical parade of his sympathy with
the masses, but his sympathy was part OF
his life. he kneac no interest in which was
not theirs; their welfare was as dear to him
as the blood in his own veins, and in spite
of calumny and falsehood the people knew
it and they loved him in return.
"Others will rise and labor and do good
service to the Republic We shall never
lack good men when the emergency calls
for them, thank Got! We do not lack them
now. But itmay be we'll doubted if in any
century of the glorious future there will ever
appear taco such sincere, high minded, self

fifty years have shown us in Abraham Lin.

my profession wrong in the minds Of those
who have been IN the habit of considering
| diplomacy an occult science as mysterious
as alchemy and as dangerous to the morals
as municipal politics. 1t must be admitted
that the conception of the diplomatic func.
tiOn is not without certain historical foun-
dation.
Straight forwardness.
"In my experience of diplomatic life,
which noac covers more year than / like to
look back upon, and ia the far greater rec.
ord Of American diplomacy which / have
read and discovered, can say without he.
sitation that we have generally told squarely
what We wanted, announced early in negot.
iation what we we're willing to give, and
allowed the other side to accept or reject
our terms. During the time in which /
have been prominently concerned in our
foreign relations can also say that we have
been met b. the spirit of frankness and sin
cerity. You, as men of large affairs, will
bear me out in saying there is no'hing like
straigbtforwardness to beget its like.
"The comparative simplicity of our diplo.
matte methods would be matter of neces-
slty if it were not of choice. Secret treaties,
reserved clauses, private understandings,
are impossible to US, No treaty has any va.
lidity until ratified by the Senate; many
require the action of both houses of Con.
gress to be carried into effect. They must,
therefore be in harmony with public opin-
ion. The Executive could not change this
system, even if he should ever desire to. 1t
must be accepted, with all its difficulties and
all its advantages, and it has been approved
by the experience of u hundred years.
GAS to the measure of success which our
recent diplomacy has met with, it is diff.
cult, if not impossible, for ne to speak.
There are two important lines of bumal
endeavor in which men are forbidden even
to allude to their success affairs of the
heart and diplomatic affairs In doing SO,
one not only commits a vulgarity which
tranScends all questions of taste, but makes
all future SUCCESS impossible. For this reas.
on the diplomatic representatives of the
government must frequently suffer in sllen
ce the most outrageous imputations upon
their patriotism, their intelligence, and
their common honesty. To justify themsel.

have to place In jeopardy the interests OF
