Care of Plants In Spring

''In the springtime when plants ara
making strong and rapid growth. par
ticular attention must be given TO
training them" writes Eben f. Rex
ford, in the Ladies' Home Journal.
If neglected in this respect they soon
get beyond control, and the only way
10 bring them into subjection then is
by sacrificing a good deal Of the
growth they have made. This there
is no need Of doing If the training is
begun in the right way and at the right
time. If n branch is inclined TO out
grow others pinch off the end Of II. and
keep all such branches from growing
by pinching until other branches have
had a chance to catch up. If a plant
is not bushy and compact make 1t so
by pinching off the end Of all its
branches. Keep up this treatment un-
I'll as many branches have started as
you think the plant ought 10 have. II
you desire a plant TO grow in tree form
rain il to one stalk until 1t reaches
the height you desire, and then nip off
its top and force ii TO branch. Save
the branches at the top TO form the
head of the tree. If you want q shrub
by plant begin the pinching process
when it is small, thus forcing IL TO
branch close TO the pot The old say
ing of as the twig is bent the tree in
clines' applies pertinently TO the train
ing of plants when in their early
stages of development"

Carriers of Poison.

The Surgeon-General OF the War De.
partment has given his official sane
ton TO the medical dogma that ma
larial fever and yellow fever Are spread
abroad by poison bearing mosquitoes.
and has sent out instructions which
will be followed in every military post
Of the United States Army. Many q
layman who has not made himself
familiar with this matter will be
amazed to learn that the wisest physi.
clans have become convinced that the
infection of yellow fever is not con-
veyed by bedding or clothing, by con-
tact by the atmosphere of sickrooms,
but solely by certain insects. 1t is be-
yond question an astonishing scientific
discovery that yellow fever and ma
larial fever, two among the most trou-
blesome Affections of humanity, can
be not only kept in check, but abso-
lutely extirpated, if particular kind
Of mosquitoes can be wholly destroyed.
What persistent warfare against
these pests should now be entered
upon!
Japan is calling upon all civilized
nations TO eXtirpate rats. II Is ad-
mitted by the experts that the bubonic
plague is diffused largely through
these vermin. If the multitudinous
tribes of rats can be wiped out, es-
pecially in warm climates and in
countries like India, there can be no
doubt that an alarming agent of infec-
ton will be done away with. The un.
dertaking is a vast one, and the ex-
tirpation of these creatures may re-
quire years of concerted. unremitting
labor. But the gain TO the race IL
rats and mosquitoes were extinct
would be incalculable.-New York

Use strawberry plants that are strong
and have plenty Of roots. Do not use
the runners from old beds, but select
those from beds that have never borne
fruit When a plant has reduced fruit
its energies are partially exhausted
hence old plants should never be used

To secure the control of one OF the lnoe-
rerdent liI.es between here ana chicago
Is the question that is causing no little
cnmment among railroad officials OF the
Western ROADS.
There have been rumors in railroad cir
Giles for some time that in view OF the
recent developments in the Northwest
the "Pennsy'' was looking for a feeder to
its Eastern business, and the rumor mas
taken strong hold some of the officials
even saving that they look for such a
move shortly.
The Erie road is, of course, provided
for for its through freight business from
the Pacific coast. The Vanderbilt sys-
tenn. including the North Western line,
and its traffic with the Union Pacific, is
also in a fair way to keep its end of the
business.
The Pennsylvania, however, has no ALI
ance and controls no trackage west OIL
Chicago, and inasmuch as st. Paul is
probably the greatest gateway for freight
from the West to the East, and vice
versa, it behooves the Pennsylvania to
set about getting some OF the business
one way or the other.
Dame Rumor has it that the Milwaukee
may be absorbed by this line, as the
Pennsylvania would not care to enter into
a freight alliance, as that has never been
its policy.
If the Pennsylvania takes the Milwau-
kee there is no doubt at all that it will
extend the system to the Pacific coast,
thus making another through freight line
between the East and West. The Mil
waukee road is practically an Independent
institution and is in position to accom-
plish what the Eastern road desires.
