Cultivate III. rr..s


The director of the Oklahoma sta
ton says: Many of the trees that were
planted for shade and fruit this spring
are already dead. Many more will die
before the summer is past. The chief
cause for this loss has been and will
be neglect. Assuming that the trees
have been planted properly and that
they were Of sorts adapted to Okla
bona conditions, at least IS per cent
OF those planted should live and thrive.
orchardtsts as a rule give their trees
every needed attention and lose but
few trees. The most notable example
OF intermittent enthusiasm may be
seen along the streets of towns and
cities. When spring comes, nearly
every one plants trees as matter of
course or to get rid of some tree agent.
100 often when the planting is done,
no further attention is given. After
planting, the dirt is often piled up in
nice mound about the base of the
trees, possibly with the notion that
this Will hold the tree in place. The
result is that what rain falls is drained
away from the roots Of the trees in
stead of toward them. Instead there
should be slight depression about the
trees so as to get little excess of wa
ter IT possible and let it soak in. Gull
tivatiion throughout the summer
should be given If trees are wanted.
The growth CT the trees will be better
If all the space between them is cul-
tivated after every rain. This is hard
ly desirable about the house and the
next best thing is to cultivate a space
about the trees. The soil should be
hoed and kept loose for space of
from three to five feet about the trees.
the larger the cultivated space, the
better. 1t isn't hard matter to grow
trees If one will give them little at
tention right along and will think of
them as a crop that should be cult
waited If good growth is expected. A
treeless town is always cherries to
the stranger, while streets bordered
with thrifty trees are attractive and
are appreciated by all. Cultivate the
trees every time it rains and some
times between times.

Speaking of Royalty.

Damocles had been invited to dine
with the King of Syracuse. On taking
his seat he instantly saw the sword
hanging by hair above his head.
II suppose" he said to the king, "you
call that the hair apparent" Dionysi-
us, pretending to see no humor in the
remark, replied:
II don't know about that, my boy;
but If it falls upon your head it will
make some crown prints"
This shows that the ancients were not
averse to joking, even under trying cir
cumstances.-New York Times.

Cucumbers.

Every farmers garden contains or
should contain a cucumber patch.
There IS no product that is grown
more easily or that gives better re-
turns for the work put upon it. The
soil that the cucumber likes best is a
warm, sandy, light soil. Any soil,
however, will do, If not exceedingly
heavy. The ground should be we'll
prepared, which Is the requisite for al
most any crop. The old way of pre-
pairing the ground was to burn over
a piece of ground, dig hole and put
in wheelbarrow load of manure. This
mode is still with us. The method
does not commend itself, especially
the part that requires a large pile of
manure in the hill. 1t is far better
to mix the manure with the soil. When
the manure is placed in the soil in a
mass the roots that penetrate it dry
out more quickly than do the same
roots If penetrating a firmer bed. It
is OF no use to plant cucumber seed
before the weather has settled down
and the ground has become warm.
O"eunpoAs ueeu 6oOu uedl VI room,
and the usual mistake is to get the
hills so close together that the vines
are numerous and picking is done
with difficulty. Hills should be not
closer to each other than four feet,
and when the plants are up they
should be thinned out to not more
than two or three in a hill. If the
ground has been worked deeply and
the manure we'll mixed with the soil,
no watering should be necessary in an
ordinarily dry time. Gather the Gu
cumbers as fast as they get large
enough to use, so that the vines will
continue to bear freely.

MONTANA TRAIN ROBBERY.
Between BermOunt and Drummond the
Northern PacIHc's Engineer Was Killed
and Registered Mail Stolen.

st. Paul, Mimi, Oct. 25.-WOrd was
received here of the robbery of a
Northern Pacific mail train between
Bermount and Drummond, Mont,
about midnight. The engineer was
killed, the mail car broken into and
robbed of all registered mail but no
other cars touched. The train was
due at Drummond at 1890, but it did
not come in. Investigation located
the train stalled.
The trainmen saw one man and
think the robbery may have been
committed by him without assist
ance. The robber shot Engineer
O'Neill, who died. soon afterwards.
The train was in charge of Conductor
Quinn. The combination baggage and
express car was blown to pieces and
all the registered mail was taken.
The Northern Pacific officials in ST.
Paul have posted reward of $4,000
for the delivery of the robber, dead
or alive. The posting of the reward
has started active pursuit of the rob-
Der, and it is believed he will be cap
tured. The Northern Pacific COM
pany has borrowed the blOOdhOunds
from the state penitentiary at Deer
Lodge, Mont, and has also started
out posses of men from Deer Lodge,
Missoula and Anaconda, fully armed
and prepared for a long search.

JOHNSON ATTACKS MCLEAN.
Tho Cincinnati Editor Not Only Challenged

Cincinnati, Oct. 24-Mayor Tom L.
Johnson, of Cleveland, who is recog-
nized as the democratic leader in
Ohio this year, and as the probable
opponent of Senator Hanna next year
and a candidate for the presidency
in 1904, created quite sensation here

John Il. Mclean, both individually
and as the proprietor of the Cincin-
natl Enquirer, and Louis G. Bernard,
as chairman of the democratic COM

Mayor Johnson discussed taxation
and other questions, but would re-
vert back at different times to the
Enquirer and Mr.. Mclean. He
charged the Enquirer with publishing
that he came to Cincinnati as a dis
tlIrbing agent. He said he pitched
his tent here to preach the gospel
of reform and cast out the money
changers. He had no doodle for any
body. He said he had reserved this

WORLDS GREATEST COMBINE.
International Harvester Company, with
S12O,oO,OOO Capital, Will Control En-

Chicago, Oct. 23.-The Internation-
al Harvester company, with capital
of $120,000,O 900, and which is intended
to control the worlds output of har-
vesting machines, is being put into
shape rapidly. All of the details
have been arranged, and all of the
various plants are now the property
of the International Harvester COM
pany. 1t is figured that the earn
ings of the new concern for the ini-
tial year ending September 1, 1908,
will be in excess of 40 per cent. on
the capital stock, taking the bust
ness of all companies for the previous
year as a basis. The intention at
present is to pay IL per cent. annu-
ally, and the balance over and above
dividends will go into the surplus.
In its financial aspect the company
is the strongest corporation in the
United States. Plans for conducting
the business on economical lines are
already under way. In its general
agents" department the force will
be reduced from 800 to rs, effecting
a saving of 100000 annually. The
new concern has little to fear in the
way of opposition. 1t controls the
right of harvesting patents, which
will not expire for many years. The
reason for acquisition of the Milwau-
kee plant was it's patents.

FUND IS ABOUT COMPLETE.
Trustees OF Mckinley Memorial AssocIa-

Over Half a Million.

Washington, Get. 25.-The trustees
of the William Mckinley National
Memorial fund will hold meeting
at Canton, O., to-day and hear the
report of the treasurer of the fund
as to the amount of subscription
raised for the Mckinley memorial.
The trustees set out to raise $780,
600 and the report will show that of
this amount more than $55O,OOO has
been subscribed and that the remain
der can be raised, so that practically
the work of raising the fund has
been completed The trustees can
now purchase the site for the me-
mortal and prepare plans for its erec-
ton. While site has been selected
in the cemetery at Canton where
President Mckinley is buried, the
ground has not been purchased nor
have the plans or designs for the
monument to be erected thereon been
selected. OF the states contributing
to the fund New York leads with
$150,OOO, the larger portion having
been raised in New York city. Ohio
promised to raise 100000 and has
not only kept its promise, but has
gone above that figure and stands
next to New York on the subscrip-
ton list. Pittsburg stands in the
front ranks of the cities, for citizens
subscribed $4,000. There is disap-
pointment in New England's contri-
button, for the entire six states in
that section, including the city of
Boston, did not subscribe more than
$4,000. Although the trustees have
nearly raised the amount required,
they do not intend to relax their eff
forts to raise the full amount, and
subscriptions will still be welcome.

IRON AND COAL ARE KINGS.
statistIcS Show Them to BE the Most I'M
portant of Our Mineral Products
for the Year

Washington, Oct. 23.-The annual
volume on the mineral resources of
the United States for 1901 prepared
by the geological survey, contains a
compilation of statistics showing the
number of working days lost in
strikes in the coal industry. These
figures include the present year. The
total number of days lost for the
present year is placed at 2O,OOO,OOO
days, as compared with 733,S02 days
in 1901, 4,s7S, 1O2 in 1900 and 2,124, 154
in 1899. The report places the total
mineral product of the country for
the year at S1,OS6, 529, 521, a gain of
little more than two per cent.
over the production of 1900. The gain
was made in the non-metallic prod
ucts and amounted to $55,065, SS2,
against a loss of $32, 156,9O9 in the
metallic products.
AS heretofore, iron and coal are
shown to be the most important of
our mineral products. The value of
iron in 1901 was $242, 174, 900, as COM
pared with $3.50, 944,OOO in 1900 and the
value of coal was S35S, 910,469, as COM
pared with $500, 1911, 364 in 1900.
