ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Dead wood may be cut out at any
time.
Lime broadcasted under the trees is
never wasted.
About the only objection to low
branching trees is that they largely
prevent cultivation.
The orange colored rust on raspberry
and blackberry bushes is fungus
which spreads rapidly if left undis-
turbed. Digging up and burning all
affected bushes is the only safe rene
dy.
Without the assistance of the friend
ly birds in the warfare against inju-
rious insects all efforts to raise good
fruits would end in failure. They are
needed to destroy pests that injure
fruits.
It is not best to cultivate the orchard
too late in summer. If necessary for
any reason to stir the soil, work only
the surface, as deep stirring at this
time aids to dry it out. The new
/, growth Of wood, too, must have time
to mature.-St. Louis Republic.

Rather Different.

The Haunted House.
Within haunted house man did dwell;
wot that he was very i'll at ease.
A grewsome tale OF terror did he tell
OF the fell thing that caused his blood to freeze;
OF how upon his threshold it did wait
And walled and grumbled like the wintry wind
In hopeless quest from early until late
! OF something it might never hope to find.
With querulous complainings as he safe
With chosen friends in mrth and gay carouse
The thing would manifest itself and rate
And gihber till it drove them from the house.
Withal it was no unsubstantial sprite,
Which, knowing not, all men would seek to
shun,
No airy, vaprous visitant at night;
The house was simply haunted by a dun.

Pierre, March S.-The last day OF the
session round the house with twenty
six and the senate with sixteen bills
on their calendars respectively, this
demonstrating for the first time in the
history of the state that il is possible
to dispense with a sitting committee.
The house held a brief session last
evening, the first for the winter, but
the senate. got through its calendar be-
fore 8 O'Clock.
The final adjournment could be
taken early tonight but for the neces-
sary delay in engrossing and sigma
lures
The apportionment was the only
cloud on the horizon and the only mat
ter on which an excuse for a fight
could be hung. The ants in the house
and senate made the most OF II, how
ever, urging TO keep the membership
of their combine in line.

SOME NEW LAWS.

state and making a recurrence OF scan
dals we'll nigh impossible.
Compelling all salaried state ofnclais

Remedying defects in the chattei

no provision for the continuation or
sales Of large stocks, but provided that
the sale could only be made on Satur-
day afternoons.
Many useful and economical amend
ment to the law of procedure:
Preventing lightning rod and other
swindlers from compelling an innocent
victim to pay his promissory, for when
he received no value, by threatening to
drag him to a remote corner OF the
state to answer the fraud being posi-

ALL WE'RE HELPED.

The public institutions, and especial
ly the educational institutions, in
which the people take such pride and
upon which they base their hopes for
the future, will receive an impetus
from the liberal yet strictly just treat
ment of this Legislature that will set
them firmly on their feet and have a
good influence for many years to come.
They had reached a critical period IN
their development and have been fur
nished with nourishment upon which
they will grow and thrive. Parsimony,
on the other hand, would have stunted
them to such an extent hat they might
never fully recover from the baleful
effects.
No deserving object was overlooked
or sighted through a false fear of
making decent appropriations. The
best interests of the public and of the
whole state were considered. No at
tempt was made to gather cheap fame
by the practice Of false economy. En-
ormous deficiencies were cared for be-
sides. and by wise legislation in an
other direction il was so arranged that
this vampire will trouble no future ses-
sion.

On one Of the rural free delivery
routes in Maryland the other day a
strange man was noticed riding with
the regular driver. 1t was the assist
ant postmaster at Toronto, who had
been sent here by the Canadian post
master general to investigate our new
ly inaugurated but rapidly extending
rural delivery system. The promptness
with which enterprising men jump
from one country to another in search
Of improvements when they hear OF
them is notable. Nova Scotia already
has some rural delivery routes, and II
would not be surprising If a United
States official appeared there before
long to look them over. The inter
change OF ideas, helpful to both coun-
tries, was never SO popular as 1t Is
now. Far away Australia has given
us ballot reforms. and-for some OF our
states-a new system of land transfer.
New Zealand has also made its con-
tributions.

BEST ON RECORD.

Mistakes were made, of course, but
as a whole the record Is the best in the
history of the state. Nothing worse de-
vehoped during the session than a fac
tional fight that was inevitable with
SO large a majority, but with the single
exception of the failure to enact a new
apportionment law the fight resulted
in good in several ways that could be
enumerated,
For one thing it Embossed the purse
strings and provided for the public in
situations in a manner that will be
commended by all who do not want to
make cheap political capital by the
cry of large appropriations. Had there
been a few active populists in each
house to drive the republicans together
not a sound of internecine strife would
have been heard. Without this incen-
tive to common action it was natural
that that surplus leadership should
find a vent.
1t is also a rule Of nature that in
such a large flock OF the anne sort
there are some of peculiar tempera-
ment.

Rare Developments Predicted I'm the

The prospect is that the season in
the Black Hills will open early. For
the past few days a chinook wind has
been blowing, which has removed
practically all the snow. There is a
feeling that this will be a propitious
year for the entire Black Hills. There
are a good many new mining compa-
MES in h field with stock to sell, Gre
ating a lively interest in the stock
market. Nearly every company is
figuring on the erection of cyanide
plants for the treatment of their ore.
This process is doing wonderful work
in the Black Hills.
There will be an unusually large
amount of building in all parts Of the
country. At Spearfish there is not a
single house empty In the residence
portion, n the same condition exists
In Custer, Lead and other cities. Lead
Will need 200 more dwelling houses this
year TO accommodate the increase in
population. Deadwood is to have a
building boom OF cyanide plants. In
the first ward there are to be three
new plants, with a total capacity of
400 tons per day.
There will be several new mining
districts thrown open, and several OF
the old producers, such as Two-Bit.
strawberry n Galena, will come tn
the front. Thus early there are no
less than eight new cyanide plants ar
ranged for.
