shade For evergreen. In winter.


A consideration of the effect of win
ter sunshine on trees and shrubs has
led a Country Gentleman writer. to re-
mark how much better evergreens get
through winter if sheltered from the
sun. He says: | have seen gardeners
erect board fences on the north side of
rhododandron beds to keep off the blus-
tering Winds This is all right, but it
would be better TO put them up on the
southern side. am sure they would
co more good there. Rhododendron
leaves have the power of curling up in
cold weather. lessening their surface
of foliage. a wise provision of nature
to prevent the loss of moisture. Bright
sunlight causes them to unfold. which
is against their well doing. strongly
advise the shading Of shrubs and trees
which Rave been injured in former win
ters or which are suspected of being
tender
The evergreen magnolia. rhododen-
drons. kalmias and evergreens Of a
coniferous character. even if usually
hardy. will have much brighter looking
foliage when winter is over If they can
be kept shaded. partially at least. When
in BEDS as many of these subjects of
ten are. it is not hard to shade them by
placing evergreen boughs over them
and even single specimens on u lawn
can often be benefited in the same way

HoG cHoLERA INSURANCE.

We offer the suggestion. one which
we have never seen advocated. that it
might prove feasible and practical to
organize hog cholera mutual insurance
companies. The record of this disease
covering a period of twenty-five years
shows that it is seldom if ever general
in its visitations so far MS state is
concerned. even in the worst years
many localities being entirely exempt.
1t is not likely that any method of alb
solute prevention or cure will eyer be
found. and it is absolutely certain that
SO long as hogs are raised as at the
present time the liability to the disease
will always be present. Men who are
engaged in the hog business would. we
think. gladly meet the assessments II
they could be assured of indemnity for
their own losses when visited by the
disease. The same uncertain elements
and destructive results obtain in Wis
itations of hog cholera which are asso-
ciated with fire and hailstorms. tie
losses by which are now well guarded
against by reliable mutual Insurance.
We should like to have this thing talk
ed up in the farm Institutes this win
ter.

To those who are considering new ap-

comments of a pomologist. H. E. Van

A correspondent in the west asks
whether the new apple called Ideal is

those who are pushing it. They say it

statements of the introducers. If l.. is
as hardy as Oldenburg it will surely be
great boon to the apple growers of the
cold northwest. and ii 1t bears as well
as Ben Davis that is surely a great
point in its favor From the condition
of the specimens would judge that it
is not so good keeper as Willow.
Willow will keep until June and is one
of the very latest of all apples.

TWELVE MONTHS FOR sSS.OOo
A SACRED TRUST.

The responsibility resting upon
the officers and managers Of Life In
surance Company is not different from
that which is assumed by the trustees
of individual estates. 1t has always
been the aim Of the Mutual Benent
Life Insurance Company Of Newark,
N. j., to conduct its business In ac-
cordance with this conception of the
sacred character Of the work and the
solemn responsibility imposed thereby.
It best manifests its fidelity In keeping
steadily before 1t as the true object
i've. the maintenance of the highest Sc
curity, 80 that policy maturing thir-
ty or forty years hence will be as GER
tain Of payment as one falling Que
tomorrow; and to endeavor by all
proper means to tighten the burden OF
Insurance, by making the cost as
small as is consistent with security.
Evidence Of the skilful and faithful
MANAGEMENT Of the Mutual Benefit Is
found in its exceedingly low expense
rate, and remarkably favorable NOR
tality rate extending over the whole
period Of its existence-nearly Sixty
years.
1t Is all right to listen to the other
fellows stories and examine their con-
tracts; but you will be doing yourself
an injustice II you sign an application
or accept and pay for their policies
before you know about the Mutuai
Benefit and what 1t can and Will

Edward Brazwell and Thomas

the result Of a falling out about a well
in which both were interested.
Spartanburg special to News and
Courier: Early last spring the First
National bank Of Spartanburg or
fered premium Of 500 In gold to
the farmer that made the most seed
cotton from one acre. The con-
testants met and adopted rules by
which they should be governed.
About twenty or more farmers en-
tered the contest. Some. Of them
dropped out soon after. 1t Is probable
that the winner may gather 4,5O0
pounds of cotton. One farmer had
weighed 5000 pounds up to last Sat
urday and he had a considerable
number Of bolls to open. Some good
farmers entered this contest and the
result will show what thorough prep
aration, high manuring and good cul-
tivation will do. There are four or
five different varieties Of seed tried,

Columbia State, Thursday: The
representatives of fertilizer mills who
were here yesterday seem to be very
much pleased with the outlook. 1t was
reported unofficially last night that
suits now pending in the courts will
be suspended pending definite action by
the fertilizer board which Is to meet
here in November and will then give
the mills another hearing. The law re-
quires the fertilizers to have certain
definite quantities Of chemicals. In
some parts Of the state the board has
found fertilizers which fall below the
requirements and the sellers have
been made the defendants in legal ac-
tion. The matter was argued before
representatives Of the board yester-
day and the mill managers were told
that there would be another meeting
Of the board. The fertilizer mills dis
avow any intention to sell impure or
worthless fertilizers and declare that
they want the law enforced, but they
argue that the law Is imperfect.
