TIE EASTERN WAY.

An eastern farmer was lately on his
first visit west at the home of farm
er friend in North Dakota. 1t was
thrashing time, and large field of
fax was being thrashed in the Dakota
way-by hauling the crop from the
gavels in the field direct to the ma
chine. The men who gathered the flax
In the field were careless and wasteful,
this also in the Dakota way, and left
many scattered punches here and there
in the field. When the job was COM
pleted, our eastern friend asked his
host when he was going to clean up
that field and was told that it was
cleaned up SO far as he was concerned;
that up in Dakota they did not bother
with pickings and rakings This as
tonished the eastern man, who was a
past master in all the petty economies
compelled by eastern farm conditions,
and he felt sorely grieved over such
wanton waste, and so he asked his
friend If he could have team and
wagon the next day and gather. up
and save some of the waste, which
was laughingly assented to, with the
remark that he might have all he could
make out of his rakings. The team
and wagon and the eastern man went
to work the next morning. and in
very short time full load of the scat
tered fax was gathered up, which was
hauled over to the field where the ma
chine was at work The load was run
through the machine and gave him
thirteen bushels of clean fax. which
he sold for S1.45 per bushel, thus re-
ceiving $23.S5 for his two hours work.
Dakota farmers will do things different
from this before long.

arc purple with blush tinge and seat

stalk rises three TO six inches above
the ground, and the richness of the
color of the flower is one that is much
appreciated at this early season of the
year. says American Gardening in il

How to Glenn Painted Doors.

White painted doors, skirtings, ETC.,
should not be washed with strong
soap or, in fact, any soap at all, as it
is likely to remove the gloss Of the
paint. The best treatment for such
delicate woodwork is to dip a wet
flannel in bran and rub it over the
surface of the wood.

Potash Masterfu1 In Plant Life.

The best and cheapest potash ma
nure is that neglected home product
wood ashes. These contain an average
of 5 per cent of potash besides sensi-
BILE amount of phosphate and very
large amount of carbonates of lime and
magnesia. They are an all round
plant manure so far as mineral matter
is concerned, supplying each ash ele-
ment.
Unless the farmer can bring into ac-
tive form the great store of potash in
his soil, he will then have to buy the
German potash salts, the muriate or
sulphate. These salts are yearly COM
ing into greater prominence as potash
fertilizers.
The influence of potash on plant life
is masterful. No plant can grow with
out it, and its influence in developing
the carbohydrates and maturing fruits
is marked and apparently controlling.

Black Knot of Plum

Black Knot of Plum and Cherry.
The treatment generally recommend
ed is to cut off the knots and burn
them, which is a good thing to do if it
is done before the winter spores have
been distributed. If not, then some
additional treatment will be necessary.
1t is recommended, therefore, that all
knots be cut off and burned, and, in ad-
dition to this. spray the trees with a
strong solution of bordeaux mixture
during the first warm days of spring.
About the time that buds start spray
again with the ordinary strength bor-
deaux mixture. This ought to destroy
all of the winter spores. Then, in
case the branches may have been al
ready infected the previous year, they
should be sprayed again during the
latter part Of May and the 1st of June.
The young knots may be destroyed by
painting them with chloronaphtholeum
or with pure kerosene DILL. Troop,

IN A ROSE GARDEN.
How to Make and Plant a Fine Ro

How to Make and Plant a Fine Rose
Bed-Advice For the Amateur.
To make a good rose bed the soil
should be trenched at least twenty
four to thirty inches deep. The best
method for doing this is to remove the
top soil to the depth of fifteen or six
teen inches. then break up the subsoil
fifteen inches deeper, thoroughly in
cooperating at least one-third as much
good strong manure as soil through the
whole When this is done, return the
top soil, adding one-fourth as much
manure as soil, thoroughly mixing it
in the operation. When complete, this
will leave the bed six or eight inches
higher than it originally was, but in
the course of few weeks, if done in
the very early spring, or in the fall
preferably. it will have settled down
very considerably by the time the
bushes are ready to plant.
When practicable, it is much better
to prepare a bed as above during the
fall and allow it to lie all winter. This
settles it down quite solid by spring.
Then all that will be necessary will be
to stir the surface over to make it fine
enough to cover the roots well at plant
ing time. Another advantage gained
by preparing the bed in the fall is that
the winter rains and thawing snow will
have largely decomposed the manure
and impregnated the ammonia from it
all through the SOIL leaving it in the
best possible condition for the roots to
commence feeding on it as soon as
planted Thus we have got the prep.
aratiOn all in shape.
The next thing to consider is the class
of roses to plant. If extra large. hand.
some roses are the desideratum, the
hybrid remontant class is the best OF
these the most desirable for the anna
teur are Paul Neyron, bright rose: Gen
eral Jacqueminot deep crimson; Anna
de Diesbach, bright rose pink; Clio,
blush; Mrs. John Laing, clear pink;
Nine. Gabriel LuiZet, silvery pink; AL

Sherman Crawford. flesh pink; Baron
Bonstetten. deep maroon; Margaret
Dickson, white, flesh center; Victor

BENEFIT TO THE SCHOOLS.

The educators of New Jersey and of the
world agree that system Of retirement on
annuity Of aged and infirm teachers is a
necessary part of a public school system
Glasses should not be burdened with in
structors no longer able to render efficient
service, but the people will not tolerate the
dismissal into poverty of teachers who have
served long and worthily, and whose only
fault is failing strength. The retirement
fund solves this perplexing and often
pathetic question, but it cannot do its
work without adequate means. County
and city superintendent can aid greatly in
uphuildipg the fund by advocating it
with their principals and teachers.

This is utterly incorrect The fund is
plan of mutual old-age and invalid insur-
ance established by law and administered

by members. A mutual life or fire insur-

charity. So might fraternal societies such

who are retired on half-pay, do not con-
slider that they are receiving charity nor

may proclaim with no uncertain

The whole country looks to
Pennsylvania for help in doing so

The Soldiers Burial Veto.

The veteran soldiers of the Re
bellion are in arms against PattisOn,
and the "Boys in Blue" are de-
manding Pattison's defeat because
of his heartless veto of the act en-
titled: An act authorizing and re-
quiring the county commissioners
of each county in the State to ap-
point sufficient number ofsuitable
persons in each township and ward
of the county, at the expense of the
county, to look after, bury and pro-

the United States during the late

New York Tribune on Pennsylvania
Politics.

New YORK tribune on pennsylvania
Politics.
The appearance of the Grout bill
and its course through Congress
brought about a change which, even
had the contest been closer than it
is, would have resulted in the re-
election of Senator Penrose. Day
after day have been coming in in
dorsements by organizations of
farmers.
The Pennsylvania State Grange
has $50 local and more than fifty
county organization, with total
membership of 10000 or more,
chiefly heads of families. Col
lectively considered, they are a re-
preventative class of citizens, and
in rural communities, because of
the eminent responsibility of the
members, the grange eXerts decid-
ed influence. When the Grout bill,
which taxes uncolored oleomargar-
inc, when sold as oleomargarine,
one-quarter of one cent q pound,
and taxes oleomargaine, when color
ed to initiate butter, 10 cents a
pound. was under consideration,
more than a thousandpetitions and
eight thousand personal letters were
sent to Senators Quay and Penrose
urging the passage of the bill. In
addition to these appeals by mail
there were numerous personal visits
by delegations of grangers and
dairymen.
Senator Quay's vote in the Com
mittee on Agriculture of the bill by
a vote of 6 to 5, and when it reach
ed final passage Senator Penrose
made a strong speech in its favor.
The effect of these two incidents is
being felt now. The grangers and
dairymen have been gratified, and
more than four hundred of their
organizations have passed resolu-
tions indorsing Senator Penrose and
urging all persons interested in the
manufacture and consumption of
pure dairy products to support can
didates for the State Assembly who
will vote for Senator Penrose's re-
turn.
In several legislative districts in
the State wealthy oleomargarine
manufacturers and dealers have
shown their hands in fomenting
contests to elect anti-Penrose AS
semblymen. This has resulted in
positive activity by the oranges and
other allied farmer organizations in
selecting a local committee in each
agricultural county in the State and
establishing headquarters in Phila-
delphia, with the sole purpose of
electing members of the legislature
pledged to Penrose. The fact that
nearly every Democratic member
of the United States Senate voted
against the Grout bill had a tend
ency to prejudice Pennsylvania
farmers against running any5risk
by voting for Assemblymen who
would support Democrat or
Fusionist for the United States
Senate.
The Republican campaign mana
gers were never more hopeful of a
successful campaign, and they count
upon securing, through the farmer
influences, several legislative dis
tricts which in off years have sent
Democrats to the Assembly.
