1t will not do to rely upon the po-
litical complexion of the United States
Senate to save us from tariff agitation
Should Messrs. Parker and Davis be
elected in November and Democratic
House of Representatives, we should
have a tariff law framed within
twelve months and the business inter-
ests of the country would feel the
effects Immediately even If it was
impossible to repeal the present law.
So great is the fear of Democratic
tariff tinkering that the smallest cloud
on the horizon would bring a storm of
commercial disaster long before any
tariff law could be enacted.

There is not a single act In the ad-
ministration of Theodore Roosevelt,
there is not one single act in his pub
lie or private record for which he
needs to apologize. On the other
hand the editorial columns of the
Democratic papers now supporting
Judge Parker are filled with apologies
and explanations of the inconsistent
course of not only the candidates but
the party which they are indorsing.

How Is 1t with the Democratic party?
Our political history has never seen a
situation so ludicrous as that which
the national Democracy now holds. |
can understand how the citizen can
work for the Republican party and
vote It's ticket with enthusiastic zeal.
II the Republican party represents
his ideals of government, then he is
justly proud of it, can justly contide
in 1t, for 1t has stood by his principles
through storm as we'll as sunshine;
and no matter how bad you and
may think its creed Is, we are bound
to admit that the Republican party
has creed, is willing to fight for 1t,
Is willing to cling to 1t in defeat, and
continue to struggle for 1t until VIC
tory comes again. But why any
human being should, in the year 1904,
vote the national Democratic ticket is
something that passes my untutored
comprehension.
l can understand why the citizen
could vote local Democratic ticket;
| can understand how in some cities
and in some states that party may be
struggling to do some distinct thing,
which he believes ought to be done;
but in the name of common sense tell
me why any sane and sober citizen
chould in this campaign vote the
national democratic ticket.

The Republican party is divided
upon no great policy because the doc
trines of of that party command the
admiration and respect Of all law
lowing citizens. The Democrat party
is divided upon almost every great
issue which it has advanced because
these issues cannot command the re-
spect of the voters to whom they would
appeal for support.

PRUNING GRAPE VINES.

Grape vines may be pruned at any
time after the leaves fail until the sap
begins to rise, as indicated by bleeding
when the vine is cut. 1t is perhaps
better to prune early and to cut bark
close. Keep tho bearing canes as near
the base of the vine rs convenient;
not right on the ground, as in South.
ern California, but not more than two
feet from it. Keep in mind two things
when you prune: That the last years
buds throw out the finest spurs upon
which the grapes are to grow; that is.
the wood that grew in 1904 will put
out the fruit spurs for grapes in 1905.
The wood OF 1904 and 1905 will not
bear grape. Now in pruning, leave
two and sometimes three buds on as
many OF these new canes (canes OF
1904 as you think you will need, re-
mcmberlng that each bud will throw
out spur with two or three punches
on il; hence IL you leave three buds
on n cane you will have six to nine
punches, so II great number OF canes
are left the chances are you will over
load your vines. Better clip Off a
lot of the smaller canes and OCCASION
ally cut out an entire vine, back 70
the ground, or as near as you can, so
es to induce new vino for future use.
The other thing to bear in mind is,
when the fruit bearing vines are to
be propagated for the next year 1t
will not do to keep on lcngthening out
the vine from year to year, as after
while your fruit would be too far
removed from the base. SO it is I'M
portant to keep raising new shoots and
new vines from as near the ground as
you can and us the new ones come into
bearing cut away the old ones.-E. Il.

Robbery of Banks.

Reports made to the recent con-
vention of the American Bankers
Association show that there were
fifty successful bank burglaries In the
United States and Canada during the
year ended September / last. Our
Western States lead In this record.
Nine of these burglaries took place in
Nebraska and six in Iowa-the two
States having nearly one-third of the
total number of successful bank burg
laries placed to their account. II is
to the small towns of the West that
this somewhat old-fashioned crime is
now mainly confined. The small
towns of the Eastern States have fire.

they are rarely successful, and the
thieves hardly ever get away with
their swag when they have succeeded
in breaking into the vaults. These
Western States claim. however, that

a bank from the inside is less pre-
valent there than In the East

Some years ago popular illustra ted
magazine published some highly imag.
NATIVE articles describing how every
thing would burn mp when the farmers,
through the cultivation Of legumes, had
drawn all the nitrogen from the air.
+. G. s., in Hoard's Dairyman, says:
ITS going to be many years before
what is known now will diffuse through
the mass of ignorance that prevails.
and consequently II will be long time
before there will be less nitrogen in
the air because II has been stored up in
the soil for mans benefit, and longer
still before we shall have replaced the
stores that nature had accumulated
through long centuries" The fact il
ject leave out Of view the fnct that no
matter how much nitrogen we may
capture from the air we cannot keep 1t,
for IL is ever returning thither, and the
supply in the air can never grow less.
Every chimney in the land is sending
ii back TO the air, every neglected ma
nure pile is doing the same thing, and
the old rule In nature that everything
must be used over and over again will
prevent any diminution in the supply.
We may get nitrogen in various combi-
nations, but ere long It becomes free
gas and returns TO Its source for some
one to combine and use over again.
The combined forms that exist in ma
ture In the shape of nitrate of soda
may be used up. and the nitrogen that
we get MS a by-product in the manu-
fncture of gas from coal may become
totally inadequate for the purpose OF
making fertilizers. but so long as the
legumes are intelligently cultivated
and used i'm proper rotation, there
will always be nitrogen enough for
great crops and the supply In the air
will he kept good by its fleetlng nature.
We may locate It In crops. but the con-
sumption OF the crops sends 1t back to
the air. and the bacteria work over the
ofral of all sorts, releasing IL as nitrate
TO be washed away if not used by
plants. And IL IL is washed into the
sea we can get back large part of it

Forcing Hhubarb.

Usually only crowns from three to
live years old are used for forcing. In
the present experiment seedlings. OBJ
tained by sowing seeds in April in drills
twenty-four inches apart. were used.
The seedlings made remarkably good
growth during the summer, many
leaves attaining foot across, with
stalks fifteen TO twenty inches long and
an inch thick
After the ground had been frozen and
thawed out once in the fall, the roots
were plowed out and placed in dark
cellar. They were packed closely to-
gether, with the crowns up and soil
slfted between until the roots were
covered two or three inches deep. They
were then thoroughly soaked with
water and the room made perfectly
dark. The stalks pushed rapidly into
growth and within four weeks an ex-
cellent growth of rhubarb was secured.
These Seeding roots furnished two
pullings of first-class stalks, two more
Of fair stalks, and two or three more
small pullings of rather small and
splnuIy StuikS.
In all the one crop lasted about four
weeks. The exhausted roots were then
removed and the new supply grown in
like manner. 1t is stated that in this
work the temperature shonld never be
allowed to be above sixty degrees Fab
rerheit, unless quick results are
wanted at the expense of quality and
quantity The crop grown in this ex-
pertinent sold for from sixty to seventy
tive cents per dozen punches, and there
were from four to six stalks in each
bunch. From an area of $40 square
feet of cellar space, rhubarb to the
amount of $3j.55 was sold. and it is be-
lieyeG that the yield obtained in this
experiment can be materially increased
when more attention Is given TO the
growing of the seedlings.
Special mention is made of the desir-
ability of growing the roots in absolute
darkness. since by this method the
strength of the root Is directed into the
| stem of the rhubarb rather than into
the production Of foliage. by planting
the seed on heavily manured loan sol!
ana thinning the plants TO distance
OF one foot in the rows. with proper
cultivation and mulching. If need be-
we believe roots can be grown in n sin
gle season which will give twice the
yield received from our experiment. II
it can be done with certainty from year
to year the question of obtaining
crowns for forcing purposes will be
solved.--V. II. Davis, in American Cul

Mr.. Gobbler's Real Name.

The original name of the turkey
was Oocoocoo, by which 1t was known
by the native Cherokee Indians. II
Is supposed that our Pilgrim Fathers,
roaming through the woods in search
of game for their first Thanksgiving
spread, heard the Oocoocoo calling in
familiar tones of our domesticated
fowl. Turk, turk, turk" These first
Yankee huntsmen, mistaking this
frightened cry of the bird for its real
song. Immediately labeled 1t turkey"
and turkey 1t is to this day. Much
more beautiful and musical was the
Indian name "Oocoo-coo," the notes
peculiar to the flock when summing
themselves in perfect content on the
river beaches.
