PHILLIPsBURG, KANs., Apr. 10, 10.
EDITOR HERALD:
clip the following from the Dis
patch of last week:
The HERALD is not only the largest
paper in the county, but 1t gives It's
readers the advantage OF the latest
Geographic news service, the pest
Kansas news paragraphed-Hef
We suppose we ought not TO Ind
fault if Mr.. TadlOck can satisfy MINI
self that the above statement Is true,
but as a matter of fact it is not true,
nor is any part of it true. The HERALD
is not the largest paper in the county;
nor does it give the latest news, ana
to show that Mr.. TadlOck'S statement
is false in both particulars we ask any
reader in the county to take the TWO
papers issued today and compare them.
If the Dispatch has not the latest
news in it then we will confess that
the gentleman is correct. Just make
the comparison for fun anyway.
And now 1 may say that ''just for
fun" I made the comparisons which
are suggested. If you wish to print
them 1 give herein the results of my
experiments.
First as to size. I measured the
columns of the Dispatch and find
them 49, inches long. There being
printed advertisements, plates and all
48 columns each week, the Dispatch
prints total of 936 inches. The HER
AID columns are 21a inches in length.
There being printed each week 56 col
umns, 1 find the total for the HERALD
1918 inches of reading and advertising
matter 1t does not take a mathema'
tician to determine which prints the
largest paper each week.
Next as to latest news. find by
reference to the plate side of the Dis
patch that the news columns put III
at Kansas City are dated April 4, I, 8
9 and II. The first named date being
more than week old. In the Fri
days HERALD 1 found the paten+
news columns dated April 10 and II
while those of Tuesdays HERALD ar
dated April 5, 6, 7 and s. Thus it i
plain that the Dispatch, issued Fri
day, contained news matter one da
older than the HERALD of the Tues
day before.
AS to the quantity of telegraph
and state news, the Dispatch ha
about columns of 49, inches in length
while the HERALD has IA columns q
inches in length. On the local pag
of the Dispatch [ find, exclusive O
advertisements, just "a local new
items. OF this 81 items, 10 are almos
verbatim in Tuesdays HERALD. 1
the Tuesdays edition of the HERAL
1 find 80 local items; in the Frida
edition 38, or total of 68 local item
for the week.

COMFORT IN GARDENS.
Should Appeal to Every Parent
Fond of His Children,

I was born and brought up in the
city, but my folks had quite largo
garden just outside the city. walls,
and little bit of a garden back of
the dwelling house, and our neigh
bors had gardens and yards of their
own, too, and in every one of these
gardens, large and small, there was
at least one summer house, vine-clad
and shrpb-surrounded. These sum-
mer houses; were in most cases con-
structed of latticework, in simple
and cheap manner, with an open roof,

about two inches above the bud; and
when it has made a new shoot tie it to
this old stump to make it grow
straight. Buds of different roses,
crimson, white, red, etc., may be insert
ed in single stalk, threby producing a
rose tree of many colors. It is not nee
essary to bud on the wild rose only, but
if you have some other single rose you
wish to improve, insert a bud or buds of
some nice variety, and I think you will
be pleased with the result.
I hope every lady reader of this pa
per will try this method of propagat-
ing, for it is very, simple and easily
done, and you can have rose ready
for bloom in the same length of time it
would take a cutting to form roots.
Ana by using early and late varieties
on the same bush one can have a sue
cession of bloom on the same plant,
which is quite an item when one is
crowded for room.-Geneva March, in
Agricultural Epitomist.

A STORM.

Athwart the sky gruesome fleet Of murky
clouds Is sailing;
Among the leafless boughs the wind Is
ominously Wailing.
LoW-1ying In the western skies,
The moon, silver shallop plies.
Beneath, a crimson thread is spun
The parting glory of the sun.
Dark grows the sky and darker yet while
evening shades descending,
Obscure the landscape and l feel the chill
of storms impending.
Borne on the ever-strengthening breeze
l hear the soughing Of the trees;
And sounding from the rocky roar.
The angry oceans Sullen roar.
With curtains drawn and bolted door, /
mock the tempest's raving:
Tho all without Is cold and dark, sweet
peace my soul is LAYING.
l hear the fusillade Of leaves.
Hurled upward to my cottage caves:
Then loud against the lattice pane,
The fury OF the driving rain.
Serene lay me down to sleep-lulled by
the oceans surges;
The sounds that are my lullabys may be
another'S dirges.
Tho Death and Peril walk abroad,
l fear them not, but trust in God.
| care not for the Storm Kings wrath,
Safe sheltered by my cottage hearth.

AS TO CRIMSON CLOVER.
1t Il OF Value In Horticulture Be-
cause 1t Gives q Large Amount
OF HuMus and Nitrogen.

l want to speak good word for
this clover. For years it has been
considered an Experimental plant"
in northecn sections; for years farm
ers In Ohio and Michigan have taken
but slight stock in it's virtues, and
have been inclined to condemn rather
than praise it's use in practical way.
Now don't blame anyone for feeling
this way; was just as skeptical my
self not long ago. Until recently
crimson clover has certainly been a
doubtful experiment north of GER
tain point; until recently the seed OBJ
tainable was largely Of southern
growth and, on that account, some-
what unreliable when sown at the
north. And, too, it might be said
with truth that until of late years
the peculiar characteristics of this
clover have not been thoroughly I'M
derstood by northern farmers anil
fruit growers. Too much was expect
ed of it. It was not given a fair
chance; or it was sown at the wrong
time, or sown on unsuitable ground.
First and primarily, crimson clover
is a cover or manurial crop and not
a forage crop. 1t can, of course,
sometimes be fed to advantage in the
green state, but owing to it's season
of maturity, it is seldom practical
to cure it for hay. The time to SOW
it is in July or August, not in the
fall. The place TO sow it is in stand
ing corn, or in potatoes at the last
cultivation, or on the turned-under
strawberry bed, or in the orchard
in fact anywhere where a cover crop
is desirable or where the soil needs
enriching with humus and nitrogen.
The seed to SOW is the northern
grown seed which is now obtainabre
in some places. It is acclimated, to
a certain extent, to our cold climate;
it does well where the southern seed
will fail; it may cost little more and
be little harder to get than the or
binary seed, but the extra trouble
and expense will be we'll repaid.
I speak now from actual expert
ence, on my own farm in Van Buren,
county, Mich, from personal observa-
ton on surrounding farms, and from
the experience of brother farmers in
neighboring states whose observa-
tions have been set forth in the doz-
en- or more farm papers which I read.
Crimson clover is here to stay. It
may fail occasionally; but so does
ordinary clover. It won't grow on
land too poor to raise red clover; but
if you give it fair chance it will give
you a large amount of humus and
nitrogen to plow under in the early
spring.-W. E. Andrews, Brookdale
Fruit Farm, in Ohio Farmer.

PROPAGATING ROSES.
4 System of Budding by Which EARLY
and Late Varieties Are Grown
on the Same Bush.

One of the easiest and best ways to
propagate roses is by budding. The
process is the same as with the peach,
pear, apple, etc, but I will give short
description with an illustration to
make it a little palmer. Select bud
from the rose you wish to propagate,
and cut about one-fourth above and be-
low the bud, taking out an elliptical
piece with little wood beneath it, as
shown in Fig. 1. -.
For the stalk take any hardy or wild

plants climbing up on the sides and
over the roof. In an uncle's garden
the summer house was placed against
the wall on the north, or further,
end of the lot, and choicest grape
vines were trained along the walls
on both sides, and others covered the
summer house so completely that
there was a real coy retreat for any
member of the family looking for q
chance to rest, read or enjoy tho
luscious fruit of the vines. Many
happy hours of my early boyhood
have I spent in these summer houses.
In all of them we had table in the
center, with chairs or benches around
it, and here we would play, or enjoy
the fruits of the season, usually
standing in a Dig fruit dish in the
middle of the table, or read a paper
or book, or write letters, or take our
coffee and lunch. Old country peo-
pie, in short, take time for comfort
and for the enjoyment of the good
things of life. On this side of the big
water, in our anxiety to acquire the
means to live, we forget to live and
to enjoy life. I know that the sum-
mer house has added much to my
pleasures in early life and to my love
for home and family; and I believe
that it is worth while to make use of
so inexpensive means of adding 10
our children's pleasures and comforts
and to their appreciation of home.
This was the chief object I had in
view in making my plea for summer
houses.-Farm and Fireside.

BENEFITS OF PRUNING.
~ Adds Considerably to the Pro-
ceeds from the Orchard.

In my experience as a grower and
dealer in apples for more than so
years, I have found that the fruit that
was grown and ripened in the sunlight
was finer in flavor and worth in the
market from rs to 50 cents per barrel
more than if grown on trees of thick
foliage that shaded the fruit.
There is no fact more plainly visible
to an observing man, as he goes about
the country, than the shabby-looking
appearance of the orchards. Shoots
are allowed to grow until they are so
thic ok that in gathering the fruit it
has to be picked from the outside of
the trees, there being no good chance
to place a ladder inside. do not think
T have ever seen more than a dozen
properly shaped and pruned orchards,
if the trees, when planted, were grated
or budded. All varieties of apple trees
do not make the same excess of wood,
and neglect of pruning would not dam
age all the varieties alike, or to the
same extent. ... ~.:.--- ... -. 81.
My experience in growing pears is
the same as with apples. have in
creased the value of pears in the mar
ket 50 cents per bushel by thinning out
trees that had not been pruned from
the time they were first planted. Pears
are 80 cheap in our markets here that
it scarcely pays to market them, un-
less they are of good size and fine quail
ty. Pear trees will not grow good fruit
If the trees are neglected like the APP
pie trees.-Jonas H. Priest, in Country

Gallup. says:
The coal mine strikers at Gallup
have learned the sad lesson 80 often
taught others that the workingman,
although strongly organized, has no
chance OF winning out against the de-
mands OF labor. An employer will OF.
ten give in to the reasonable and
sometimes unreasonable demands Of
his employees rather than stand the
annoyance and the expense OF a strike
or change OF employees. but there is a
limit to everything, and when an I'm

will eat up his profits and cause him
