SUGGESTIONS MADE
FOR JuDEs AND TIME OF GAR
 DEN CONTEST.
Some Contestants Troubled by False Rumor That Contest Has AL ready Been Decided-No
 Truth in 1t. M

The request for hints and suggestions from contestants who have entered The Advertisers Amateur Gardeners Contest for the improvement of front and back yards upon the question of the time for inspection of yards and judges to conduct the inspection has received several re- sponses. However. there are many more to hear from. A suggestion along these lines from each one would be appreciated. as in that way the management will be much more able to select. not only the most desirable time for inspecting inn proved yards. but satisfactory judges as well.
 The report has been circulated recently that prizes for the pest improved front and back yards had already been award ed by The Advertiser. This evidently Is desires to disturb others in the work of improvement. The report has had the effect of exciting more or less anxiety among contestants as to the truthtu!nass dies to call upon the Garden Editor for information. Each was assured. of course. that such a report Was erroneous as due notice will be published in The and who receives Ire prizes.
 The following letters have been re. ceived recently from interested persons concerning the contest:

I just won't see her. Think o being loved to such an extent! Let tho judges be men.

A BARBECUE.
The Opening of the Soldiers Home to
 Be Celebrated.

Colonel Jefferson M. Falkner recently remarked to a number of his friends that he was going to celebrate the opening of the Soldiers Home at Mountain Creek with a barcebue and make the old soldiers who enter the home there feel at home once more.
 The Colonel takes a great pride in the splendid undertaking and that he has made it so successful and has progressed with the work so rapidly no one who knows him is at all surprised for what ever he does he does we'll and iwth his whole heart. It is very proper that such an event should be so celebrated and he will make the opening of the home an event in the lives of the old soldiers who are so fortunate as to get in at the begin ming and to all who are so fortunate as to be among the invited guests.

The richest portion of the milk
is that drawn from the udder at
the last. In experiments made to
test the matter it was found that
the difference was so great that
with some cows the strippings con-
sisted almost entirely Of butter fat &.
1t is important, therefore, that
milking the COWS be done in a
thorough manner, leaving nothing
in the udder. If this is doEe the
COW will not be so liable to become
dry as soon as when the milk is
not entirely removed at each milk
ing. The practice of carefully strip
ping also serves as a check upon
careless mixers, as the farmer can,
and should, examine each cow af-
ter she is MIXED in order to OBJ
serve if the milking has been done
thoroughly. Where there is no
supervision the milking is some
times performed carelessIy and at
loss to the farmer.
When putting cuttings in the
ground leave as few buds as pos
sible above the ground. When the
rOotletS are thrown out below the
surface of the ground they begin
to supply food to the buds above,
and the more buds the greater the
work placed upon the rootlets, in
many cases the cuttings dying be-
cause the buds cannot be nouriSh-
ed. The entire effort of the roots
should be concentrated upon one
bud, or not over two. The soil
should also be mellow, as the stick
ing of emitting into hard and
compact soil is to rob the roots of
food and moisture. Plant the cut
tings deep in fine, rich soil, and
should it be necessary water them
until they are we'll started in
growth.
The object in pruning grapes is
to get welI-formed vine and large
yield of fruit. Two-thirds of the
years growth should be cut away,
for if not severely pruned more
fruit will be grown than can be
matured. Grapes grow upon the
new wood, aud this years branches
will perform service next year.
The winter season is the time to
prune grapes. If deferred until
spring the vines may be injured. |
Grapes require both manure and
fertilizer, and should be sprayed
with Bordeaux mixture as a pre-
ventive of disease.
1t has long been claimed that the
best way to grow onions is to put
them on the same ground every |
year, manuring heavily, but it is
now known that it is better to
change to a new location every
year in order to escape the onion
mangot. In this section sets are
preferred to seed, and the crop
should have an abundance Of fertil-
izer.
Wood ashes or potash salts may
be applied to all kinds of fruits
with advantage, and it may be done
early 10 the season. Potash not
only promotes the growth of wood, /
but also increases the proportion
Of sugar in fruits.

BRIHTS DIsEsE.

The largest sum ever paid for a
prescription, changed hands in
San Francisco, Aug. 80, 1901.
The transfer involved in coin and
stock SIP, 10000 aud was paid by
a party of business men for a
specific for Bright's disease aud
Diabetes, hereto incurable diseas-
es.
They commenced the serious in
vessigatIOn of the specific Nov. 10,
1901. They interviewed scores
of the cured and tried it out on its
merits by putting over three dozen
cases on the treatment aud watch
ing them. They also got phySi-
clans to name chrome, incurable
eases, and administered it with
the physicians for judges. Up. to
Aug. %, eighty-SeveH per cent of
the test eases were either well or
progressing favorably.
There being but thirteen per
cent of failures, the parties were
satisfied and closed the transaction.

OLD MONEY.
1agged Bills ana smooth Coins Put
1nto Circulation st the Pam
American Fair.

There are more ragged old bank
bills, government notes and ancient
silver coin that have been put into
circulation in Buffalo during the Pam
American exposition than have been
seen for quarter of century, says
the New York Times. A searcher
after the cause found many cashiers
of shows and other places who could
give explanations. One money taker
OF midway performance said: Its
simple enough. Farmers from the
interior of New York state, Pennsyl-
Nania and Ohio have been attracted
TO the exposition because they could
see a big show cheap. They take
their hoard of old silver coins and
small bills, which have been out of
circulation and in their stockings and
teapots for years, and turn them
loose here. 1t is hard on the city
folks, but the farmers would be in
suited If you refused their old coin"
A cashier of German resort said:
"There are thousands Of Germans
who came to this country and work.
ed hard for years, saving their small
change. They come here and spend
old dimes and quarters saved on the
farm as If they were fve-dollar bills"
Another shrewd observer said:
''You see, there are thousands of
people who come to the exposition
who do not fully know the value of
coins. Many unscrupulous people are
making it a business to collect all
the battered coin which would be re-
fused in New York and send it here
TO be aplmed off on the 'hayseeds'
and foreigners. Plugged coins which
would be refused in New York and
which would have to be sold for a
large discount find their way here
and pass at full face value. Then,
again, there are many Canadian peo-
pie who have battered United States
currency which they want to get rid
of. 1t seems as If all the old garrets
of this state had been racked to find
old bills and coin to be put in circu'
lation during the exposition" The
custom is established at the exposi'
tion not to refuse battered coin, be-
cause it is so easy to pass it through
the cash drawer to the next unsus
pecting visitor.

A RANCH DINNER.
The Names OF the various Dishes
Would Probably BE Foreign to
One Fastidious.

The "chuck wagon under the su.
pervision of the "wagon-boss," had
early in the day conveyed the camp
outfit to a cool spot under clump
of eottonwoods. A clear little stream
flowed lazily along between the cot
eonwoods and the box-elders, which,
with the fresh, fower-laden breath
sf the plains in their faces, and the
inspiring works of nature about
them. caused the guests of the cow
punchers to forget for the time the
dust and heat and turmoil of the
town, says writer in Criterion.
And such dinner! Ranchers
know a good thing and name it ac-
eordingly, though the result is often
Q fearful and wonderful commingling
of slang. localisms, and foreign
words. There was spread, picnic
fashion, a menu which If writ upon
the regulation card would appall the
fastidious and tax the knowledge of
the most learned college professor.
There were "frijoles," (beans), and
only such beans as one gets at a
ranch; there were "fry" and its in
evitable dope" which translated
mean bacon and gravy, and there
were "spuds," or, in palmer English,
potatoes. The biscuits were real
works of art-as the ambitious
sslush" intended them to be-great
fiaky mounds quite the size of an or
dinary saucer, so that the hungry
cow-punchers would not be compelled
to stop very often to say Pass the
bread, please" Last on the list came
coffee, strong as hate and black as
despair-three cups to the man.

A $1,000, 900 BABY.
Nine-Year-Oid hoy Inherits Estate Of
Lady william Beresford's
First Husband.

James Hooker Hamersley, for
many years a prominent figure in the
fashionable life of the city, died OF
heart failure few days ago at his
country home at Garrison's-on-t
Hudson.
Mr.. Hamersley was the cousin OF
Louis c. Hamersley, the first hus-
band of Lady William Beresford. Lady
Beresford's second husband was the
late duke of Marlborough, says the
New York World.
Louis C. Hamersley left an ex-
traordinary will when he died in Feb
ruary, 1888. He provided that his
widow should have the income of his
estate during her life, but upon her
death the whole property, valued at
$7,000,000, was to go to the male is
sue of his cousin. j. Hooker Ham,
mersley. In event Of the latter leav-
ing no male issue, the estate was to
go to such charities as his widow
should name in her will.
At the time of Louis C. Hamers-
ley's death ]. Hooker Hamersley
was regarded as a confirmed bache-
lor. But soon after he married Miss
Katherine Chisholm, a noted south
ern beauty.
One baby daughter and then anoth-
er baby daughter were born to the
couple. But on July 2, 1892, baby
boy was born, and since then he has
been called "the $7,O00,O00 Hamers-
ley baby" although he is now q
sturdy boy of nine years.
The boy is named Louis Gordon
Hamersley, and his health has been
guarded as carefully as ii he were
the heir to a kingdom.
