The Woodmen Log Rolling.

It's n memory nova memory
that will live in the minds of the
Woodmen of the World of the
Pacific jurisdiction ms long as that
jurisdiction exists. The first an
nual log rolling of the Eighteenth
district has passed into history and
with it goes pleasing recollections
of one Of the greatest, if not in
fact the greatest demonstration,
ever held by fraternal order in
southern Colorado. There are
more than 300 more Woodmen as
a result of the days doings in Pu-
eblo, and some 5000 old Woodmen
are very, very tired today. They
are happy, however, and certainly
have a right to be. Thus does the
Pueblo Chieftain begin its exten-
sive report of the great doings of
yesterday, when the Woodmen
owned the city of Pueblo.
The morning was devoted to the
reception of incoming Woodmen.
In the afternoon the Mineral Pal
ace was crowded even as sardine
box. There was music. speeches,
drills, and the wood saving contest.
Among the 33S new members init
lated in the evening was Gov.
Orman. The parade in the eve
ming was one of the largest ever
seen in Pueblo.
The Women of Woodcraft initi-
ated So new members.
Rocky Ford sent very large
delegation, quite a number of
whom missed the special train and
came home this morning.

The fnmc OF Rocky Ford's can

town, nor even to the limits Of
Colorado. 1t extends all over tho
east, and these melons are con-
sidcrcd delicncy wherever they

need be told that the best water.
melons in this section OF the
country are grown near Rocky

The inhabitants of Rocky Ford
are not novices in entertaining
visitors upon occasions like this,
and their reputation for hospital

doubt that it will be well sustain.

REMARKABLE PAT HANDS.
Five p.Ii Ones That Contained =
Wonderful Combination
of Numbers.

Inner club circles have been RECALLED
with story Of recent sitting at
draw poker, in which five well-known
clubmen took part, says the Baltimore
Sun.
1t was at the home Of one Of the
members. Two new packs OF cards
we're brought out, the seal of one was
cut and the cards shuffled. From this
pack cards we're dealt around to Sc
Iect the dealer for the opening hand.
This done, the second pack OF cards
was opened and shuffied by one OF the
party, who handed IL to the dealer,
who also shuffied. The pack was then
rendered for the usual cut, which was
done. A round Of jackpots had been
agreed upon.
The player who had first say was an
insurance man, and he promptly
opened. Next was a grain merchant.
who raised the opener. A member or
the stock exchange came next and he
saw the raise and went the limit bet
ter. A merchant well known for his
aggressive spirit sat next in line and
he quietly met all that had been bet
and raised the limit. 1t was no"
around to a railroadman. who was the
dealer. There was pause, and each
player inspected his cards with self
satisfied air. The railroad man broke
the silence by meeting all bets and
raising them the limit. Every body
stayed in the game. The dealer asked
how many cards were wanted and each
player in turn said none. The dealer
took none. He made a nominal betand
the call was passed all around.
A. the showdown the hand in each
case was full house and. beginning
with the first to the left Of the dealer,
as follows: Sevens and deuces. eights
and treys, nines and fours. tens and
nves, aces and hves. The railroad man
ves the winner. He has had the cards

A WORD OF CAUTION.
Think Twice Before You Buy "Nevv
and Remarkable Plants" from
StrOlIiHG Agents.

Much good money is wasted every
year in the purchase of nursery stock
that is ''the greatest wonder of the
age" People keep on buying this sort
of things and probably will continue
TO do so. Some enterprising man, out
Of job, perhaps, or possibly because
there is money to be made at it, ar
ranges with some grower of nursery
stock to fill his orders with the cheap
est sort of Seeding apple trees. The
agent starts out and names it "the
everbearing pumpkin apple" Trees
are sold for so cents or ST each, and
the purchaser plants "the ever bear
ing pumpkin apple tree,1 watches it
closely for four or six years, and at
last there are a few blossoms. What
delicious pumpkin apples Will be
his! When fall arrives and few sour
apples are all that are secured, there
is considerable disappointment, but
usually further hopes for future de-
velopment. If plain, reliable trees of
Missouri Pippin, Ben Davis, Winesap,
Jonathan, Arkansas Black, Maiden
Blush, or any other standard varieties
had been planted good fruit would
have been secured instead of nothing.
This is but anillustration The prin-
ciple holds good in the purchase of
seeds and plants Of every sort. Pur-
chasing seeds and plants from we'll
known nurserymen and seedsmen is
the best and safest plan. Expectations
Of great deal for nothing, or of Sc
curing something unusually profitable
will not be realized. Fruits are men
toned particularly because of the fre-
quency of deception in tree-selling and
of the ease with which profitable,
thrifty, reliable nursery stock may be
seeured.-National Rural.

HOW TO PLANT A GARDEN.

horse work almost entirely. Early in

narrowed until in the best of order.
1t is furTowed out by horse and the
only hand labor required is occasion
ally with the wheel hoe, although this
is not necessary where weeds are not
bad. 1 leave a space of sod at each
end to turn on. An hour or so every
week is sufficient for the cultiVating,
which should be shallow and level.

bottom. The hopper, b, for peas, is
made of leather OF tin, and of any size
to suit, but convenient size is one
that will hold about one quart. The
piston rod, b, is ~ inches square, to
fit inside the box, a, and one-half-
inch hardwood pin, d, is made to serve
as handle. At c is half-inch pin eX-
tending through the slot, g, which is
one-half by three inches. This is
placed 12 inches from the bottom, and
when the piston, b, is raised, it brings
the notch, f, just opposite the hole at
the bottom of the hopper. This notch
is about three-quarters inch deep, and
is made to hold, measure and convey
the peas from the hopper to the ground
beneath. The size of it is governed to
suit the number of peas wanted.
To work the planter, put the ma
chine down in the place for planting,
bear down on the piston rod, which
takes the peas down to the bevel on the
inside of the box and drops them on
the ground-Orange Judd Farmer.

A WOMAN'S HEART.
Mrs. Samuel G. Dyer Tells Harrow
ing Take of Suffering.

McCarron, Mich, April (SpeciaD
Mrs. Samuel G. Dyer, of this place,
has given the following interesting
letter for publication:
For years, [ suffered intense pain
in the region of the heart. l doctored
with the best. physicians. Some of
them would relieve me for a short
time, but the pain always returned.
My heart was so bad that [ would have
to sit up in bed for hours to get relief.
! would lie awake almost all night. I
am 81 years of age, and no one can un-
derstand how much I suffered with
this Heart Trouble.
About year ago, I heard of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, and commenced to use
them. From the first my condition i'm
proved. The pain in my heart gradual
ly grew less, and my general health
much better, and now [ can say posi-
lively that [ am entirely cured. I can
sleep all night, and enjoy almost per-
feet health. I thank God for the cure
that has come to me through the use
of Dodds Kidney Pills.
Il have thought long over the mat
ter of giving this letter for publica-
tion, and am now doing so without any
solicitation whatever, and simply be-
cause feel it to be my duty to express
the profound gratitude feel for my
recovery, and to let others who may
be suffering as I was know how they
may find cure. I know that nothing
else but Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me,
because [ have taken no other med
lcine for over year. Ifeel better now
than [ have for many years, and it is
all due to the use of Dodd's Kidney
Pills" ....
Mrs. Dyer's case and it's cure has at
tracted a. great deal of attention, and
her letter is splendid tribute to the
curative properties of Dodd's Kidney
Pills.

THE FLOWER GARDEN.
A List of Desirable Outdoor Plants
for People whose Time Is oc-
cupied by Other Work.

Those who love flowers, and 81 find
their time so fully occupied that they
cannot bother with ANNALS or seed of
any kind, can have brilliant display
all summer with perennials. First of
these is perennial phlox; our grand
mothers used to call it Jerusalem
pink 1t can be purchased in all COLI
ors, and if the long tresses of flow
ers are kept cut they are kept in bloom
a long time. Some of the catalogues
advertise to send them by mail for
five cents apiece. They can be planted
out at any time until the first of June.
A round bed bordered with these, with
Madame Crozy, and Florence Vaughan
cannas in the center, makes one of the
grandest displays that one would wish
to see. Care must be exercised in plant-
ing out, not to set the young plants too
close, as they grow very fast, blossom
ing the first season, and begin to
crowd each other. Every year the
roots must be divided.
Next on the list will be the peren-
NAL larl1spur. The o1d-fashioned
name was bee larkspur or monlSshood.
These, too, must be given plenty of
room, and their long tresses of s'heav-
enly blue" must be cut when faded, to
prolong their period of bloom.
For yellow display nothing will
compare with the golden glow rud-
beclSia. 1t sends out it's double yellow
blossoms for a week, and like The rest,
is perfectly hardy. For display of
white flowers standing alone on the
lawn, few flowers give better satisfac-
ton than the hyacinthus Candicans.
They are bulbs, and as hardy as an
oak. Each bulb will send up two or
three stems two or three feet tall, and
these stems are filed with innumer-
able pure white bells, that are very
pleasing to the eyes; but they are
lacking in fragrance.
Now we will name one vine, the
japonica, or hardy moon flower. In
ordering, be sure you call for the hardy
variety. The tuber resembles a sweet
potato. You can purchase large
blooming tuber for 25 cents. The
blossoms of this variety are white and
very large, and stay out nearly all day.
Plant the tuber deep in good rich soil.
whereit can remain. All plants named
here, except cannas, require no care
and are not troubled by insects. Mrs.
John Gaillard, in Ohio Farmer.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Dig out or burn the whole orchard
or get rid Of the sod, one or. the other
Plant trees just as soon as the frost
gets out and the ground gets fit tc
work.
Grating may be done, even if the
trees are in bloom, provided the scions
are dormant.
Well shaken when taken applies
with full force to spraying with fungi
cides and insecticides.
Don'tbe afraid of the San Jose scale:
that won't hurt you. But fight shy OF
the louise that builds the scale.
Hill up around young apple and
peach trees, not to keep the borers out.
but SO that if they get in YOU can
readily dig them out.
Mind you don't use crude petroleum
on a tree except when the buds are dor
mant; if you do you will kill the tree.
After uhe buds begin to swell is too
late.
Getthe sprayer at work at once. For
fungi and peach curl use Bordeaux
mixtures: for insect pests use Paris
green. For San Jose scale and other
scale lice, use crude petroleum that
tests above 43 degrees. Select a clear
day for petroleum spray. Go over the
fruit trees once before the leaves
show. once after the fruit sets. and
once or twice afterwards from three
to four weeks apart. Farm Journal.
