Pruning the Rose.

Pruning is an important matter in
rose growing. Climbing and pillar
roses need only the weak branches and
the tips shortened in. Other hardy
kinds will usually need cutting back
about one-fourth or one-third. accord
ing to the vigor of the branches, either
in the spring or fall. A slight cutting
back also after their June towering in
the case of the remontants will en-
courage more flowers. Severe pruning,
however. will only induce the growth
Of vigorous leafy shoots without flow
ers. The ever blooming roses will need
to have all dead wood removed at the
time of uncovering them in spring.
Some pruning during the summer Is
also useful in encouraging growth and
flowers. The stronger branches which

or more The rule in trimming roses is
cut back weak growing kinds severely,
strong growers moderately.

while she got an excellent hatch after
the eggs had been shipped many hun

because the turkeys were too small,
and demands were made which were
far in excess of the price paid for the
eggs. The shipper wrote polite let.

plant had been sent to the publisher
and said, II will send you sitting OF
eggs as a matter of courtesy" This Of.
fer was accepted, and the next year a
letter was sent to the shipper saying

eggs and those from the last and must
say we like yours better than any 9th

HOW TO PACK TRUNKS.
Some Valuable Pointers by an Ex-
pert Packer.

pert AASAcEs
Packing a trunk is one of those
things that each and every woman is
confident she knows how to do better
than any one else, but the truth Is
there are good packers and very bad
packers, though no one will own that
she packs badly.
In packing many people make the
mistake of putting the garments that
are easiest mussed on top, but an ex-
pert packer puts them at the bottom
Of the trunk, where they are held firm
ly, for tight packing is the secret Of
good packing, says a writer in the
Washington Star. Many persons when
packing seem to lose sight altogether
they are to do the unpacking, and yet
this is an important consideration
when comfort is taken into account.
The things that will be first needed
should of course go into the trunk last,
such as the garments to sleep in and
the toilet articles, as the destination is
usually reached pretty late in the day.
Few persons are silly enough to carry
shoe polish or a bottle of ink in a
trunk and thus risk their whole outfit
for a trifiing convenience that may be
had even at village shop in the far
away country no less than at any sea-
side or mountain resort to which one
may be going.
Some kind hearted country friend
may urge you to carry home in your
trunk jar of the delicious preserved
ounces that you have been enjoying
during your stay, but be sure to forego
the pleasure of the preserves in favor
of your best gowns or you will rue the
day you transport it subject to the
baggage smasher's gentle handling.
Most trunks have separate compart-
ments for crushable bonnets, but the
fiat hats of this season may easily be
laid on top of the dresses and their
bows and flowers Strengthened out if
they should get bit pressed down.
Good travellers see to it that their
trunks have the hasps, locks and buc-
kles in good order before packing, as
that is the time to have them repaired
if needing it. They also have a long,
broad strap to buckle round the trunk
as a final security against bursting
open, which carelessly packed trunks
have been known to do.

spirmas Bloom From June to Sep
tember-Varieties New and Old.
1t would be very hard to get along
without spir9as. One of the very first
flowers of spring in the shrubbery is
Spiraa thunbergil, the one with will
lowlike leaves and small white flowers.
Following this is the famous old bridal
wreath (Spirea reevesiD, and after this,
if one has collection of dozen vari-
cites, he need not be without spirRa
flowers from early spring till October.
A lovely one for summer Towering
(Spir9a bumalda) is Japanese spe-
cieS and much to be recommended. Its
first crop Of flowers is produced in late
June. They are in almost fiat heads,
rose or deep pink i'll color and usually
are in such profusion as almost to hide
the foliage. 1t is more than usually
valuable because there is no other spe-
cies of the same habit and color, and
for the additional reason that if the
flowers are cut off as they fade a new
crop will come In fact, with care to
cut off dead blooms, there need be not
a day from the advent of the first bios
som to October without flower.
Anthony Waterer, bearing almost
crimson flowers, is distinct and beau
tiful kind.
Mentioning the cutting away of the
dead flowers of these spirRas reminds
me to say that there are two or three
sorts of this genus with handsome, up
right, ingerlike spikes Of pink flowers,
and these are mainly summer boomers.
Paniculata, nobleana, douglassi and
lindleyana are some of them. These
flower from July till September, and
when properly understood blooming
may be prolonged by a little pruning,
performed as soon as the first flowers
fade. The cutting back of about half
of the shoot will cause strong ones to
break from near the base, and from
these good flowers come late in the sea-
son.
While mentioning kinds I would say
that the old sort reevesii, especially in
it's double form is still indispensable.
The double flowers are much more last
ing than the single ones and are more
called for for decorating purposes. But
for gracefulness of habit there is one
(Van HoutteD very much superior to
it. The branches droop gracefully,
which when loaded with their white
flowers make the bush that bears
them one of the very prettiest of the
season. - Joseph Meehan in Country

Hou to wiring Clothes.

In using the wringer it saves both
the wash and the washerwoman to
fold the clothes to an even thickness
and exactly the breadth of the wringer
rolls. Sending things through in Jumps
and punches strains the springs and
brings them quickly to the breaking
point. 1t is much the same with turn
ing the crank. One vicious jerk does
more harm than steady rolling on a
whole wash. AS soon as washing is
over use clear, warm water over the
wringer, first removing it from the
tub and standing it on end; then wipe
it dry, put little fresh oil in the bear
ings to guard against rust and set it
away in a dry place, cool enough to
prevent all danger of warping.

The Duck,. Annette

The factories may shut down. the
whistles cease to blow, the clocks may
stop and clouds obscure the sun. but
the ducks know when mealtime comes,
and they never miss the correct time
by five minutes.
The noise sets in promptly at feed
ing time and bushes as promptly as the
food appears. and no more is heard
until another mealtime.
The oft repeated assertion that a
duck eats more than chicken is not,
all things considered. strictly true.
Granted that duck can eat twice as
fast as hen and four times as much
at feed. then she goes quietly off into
the shade and is not heard from until
the next mealtime, whereas chickens
gullet is like Tennyson's brook-"Men
may come and men may go. but it goes
on forever" have never yet seen
chicken stuffed to repletion during
its life. Then. too. ducks mature much
earlier and more uniformly than chick
ems. weigh much more and give quick
er and larger proportionate returns

SHADY TOBACCO FARMING.
A Connecticut Man Talks of the New
Phase of Tobacco Growing.

"A OOuACct1COt u0hh <AAAS VI tAAC w w
Phase of Tobacco Growing.
Under the title of shady tobacco
farming S. B. Reach gives in Country
Gentleman his impressions of the new
phase of tobacco growing now on
trial in Connecticut:
The unavoidable expense incidental
to the shade growing method in excess
of that required to produce an equal
quantity of tobacco in the open field
and to cure it in the ordinary way is
largely Independent of the cost of
building and covering the framework
and is made necessary by different
processes of harvesting and curing.
The process of fermenting shade
grown leaf in bulk should be carried
on in room in which the air may be
kept moist and a uniform temperature
maintained whatever outside condi-
tons may be. Few farmers, however
well equipped for curing tobacco in
the old way, are possessed of the ia
cilities indispensable to curing it in
the new way. To produce and cure
shade grown tobacco successfully re-
quires knowledge and skill on the part
of the grower and the employment of
skilled labor to some extent, and
skilled labor in this line, even if OBJ
tainable. is expensive.
Many practical farmers stoutly insist
that tobacco is not a plant that needs
protection from the sun, at least in
GOonoctionf bouox-ar ~ ,,oov 10 Jo..,,,
toward the equator. They have OBJ
served for years that tobacco in the
open field makes it's best and most
rapid growth under the direct sun rays
of the hottest August, and if the island
Of Sumatra, with its tropical heat, is
dotted all over with tobacco tents they
have never heard of it.
While 1t has been demonstrated that
tobacco may grow well and ripen well
under thin covering in a compare
lively dry season, many doubt if the
results would be encouraging in very
wet season. During a period of long
continued hot, moist, muggy weather,
with frequent rains in the dogdays, to-
bacco sometimes molds and rots in the
open field. AT such times plants need
all the sunshine and sun treated air
that nature affords without the OBJ
struction of a cheesecloth tent
The results of experiments with
shade grown tobacco thus far are by
no means conclusive. and those who
are conducting the experiments do not
claim that they are. Green colors were
prominent in the leaf of 1900 and al
most entirely wanting in the leaf of
1901. The leaf of one crop is less ''pa-
perry" and has much more body" elias
ITCHY or ''life" than that of the other.

THE YOUNG CORN ROOTS.

was confined to a piece of ground
about as large as the hill. use level
cultivation and just stir the top of the
ground to keep down weeds. After
corn is planted I find the ground is all
full of corn roots, even running from
one hill to another, says Maine cor
respondent of American Agriculturist
The best time to york the ground is
before the corn is planted, using the
spring tooth and disk harrow. This
can be done to perfection If we go over
the land times enough, always in an
opposite direction from the last time
we went over the ground. Then we can
get a good seed bed on every foot of
ground.
When corn sprouts, the first sprout
is straight taproot going down one or
two inches before the stalk starts, as
shown at No. 1. AS soon as the stalk
begins to grow the root puts out its
feeders no. p just beneath the sur
face, and these develop, as shown at
No. 8 and No. 4. No. 5 shows where
the roots have been cut off by deep cul-
tiyation. The plant stands still for
about a week after cultivation. when
it heals and puts out more little root

Effect of OIeo Bill.

Some dairymen are inclined to be-
lieve that the passage of the oleo bill
means a permanent heavy advance i'll
the price of products, particularly but
ter, and are banking the future Of the
dairy interests along these lines as be-
ing very promising. The best intent
of the oleo bill is the suppression Of
fraud, and it is doubtful whether
prices advance as much as some seem
to think. Yet a national law forcing
bogus butter to sell for just what it is
must exert a salutary influence on the
market for butter. Dairymen should
keep up the high standard of the pure
product and see that the oleo bill is
strictly enforced.-Farm and Home.

fected plants may be stimulated with
light dressings of nitrate of soda. The
diseased leaves should be removed and
the plants sprayed with bordeaux mix

part of the season. so that in case the
disease appears preventive steps may
be promptly instituted. Bordeaux mix
ture is a tried and proved remedy.
Spraying should begin about the mid
die of July and be continued at inter-
walls of ten days as long as necessary.

now peep to plant Asparagus.

DR.. Hexamer in his recent work on
asparagus growing explains that shall
low planted asparagus sprouts earlier,
but soon eXhausts itself, sending up
spindling, tough shoots, while deeper
planted crowns produce large and sue
culent shoots throughout the season.
When green asparagus is desired and
there is no danger of beetles eating the
sprouts before they are fit for use, a
depth of two or three inches is suffi-
cient, but for white or blanched aspar-
agus depth of from eight to ten inch
es is necessary. Heavy manuring, care
full cultivation and plenty of space
