We are inclined to think that the best
way in which to protect tender plants
and vines from the rigors of our north

cover with V shaped trough made of

stuff SO protected during the past Win

ton this spring

The tendency of graft is to grow

Instead of letting the rosebushes
grow straight up bend over the larger
canes and hold them down with hook
ed peg of wood. When so treated, new
shoots will start from the whole length

Illustrating the folly of legislation
when not backed up by healthy pub

certain western state the laws of
which require the planting of not less
than - trees upon the grounds of each

practically dead letter, for where an
attempt has been made to comply with
1t the trees planted have been so neg
lected and abused that they might as
well never have been planted.

The Sentinel does not care the snap

ing the state into congressional districts,
1t is not possible to gerrymander the

ley Towne from going to congress in
1902 if they should get the notion in
their head. AS regards the Second dis
trict if Blue Earth county is retained
Mankato will continue to hog the whole

democrats of Martin county are willing

One of two things is certain. Either
the oil inspector should be put on sal
airy and the fees turned in to the state
or the inspection should be abolished.
1t is quite enough for the consumers of
oil to enrich the Standard Oil company
without being compelled to feather the
nest of state official with no possible
chance Of receiving any of the benefits.
If the fees paid for inspection, and which
certainly come out of the pockets of the
people who use the oil, are just then the
whole people of the state should receive
their jast share of the benefits over and
above a fair compensation for the man
who does the work.

them to the editor, but the postmaster
is not to blame. For instance there is a

want it any longer. We wondered what
was the matter, Upon investigation of
our subscription list we found that Tim
was back $3.50. He had never paid a
cent and yet he had stopped his paper
as matter of economy to us. A few
