CHECKING THE cUTWoRMS.
It Is a Task Requiring a Lot Of Sys-
tematic Work and Consider
able Patience.

In all gardening operations more or
less trouble is experienced from the
attacks of cutworms. Sometimes .
good many plants are cut off in q
single night. This trouble Is made
worse by the use of barnyard manure,
which is later found to have con.
tanned the eggs that Matched into cut
worms. The use of this manure can.
not be avoided very well. At least 1t
Is easier to fight the cutworms than
to disarrange the methods Of doing
the garden work. The worms gener-
ally feed near the top of the ground
and near the moisture line. In wet
weather they crawl about from one
plant to the other, put during ordinary
weather their attacks are usually de-
livered under the surface Of the soil.
One way of protecting the plants
against the attacks Of these worms is
to wrap paper loosely about them at
setting time, having the paper reach
at least an inch below the ground
IWO Inc w
not seem to know how to get under
or over such an obstruction. In a dry
time the wrapper should extend below
the moisture line In the soil, but be-
low that line the worms will not go.
Care should be taken to have 1t loose
enough about the stem to leave the
plant free to develop naturally. In
some cases gardeners that have many
plants to protect use tin protectors.
Strips Of tin about eight inches long
and three inches wide are used. Be-
fore the tin is bent into a circle the
ends for about one inch are folded
back to form two hooks that clasp into
each other and make the joint that
holds the cylinder together. When
the danger from worms is past these
cylinders are taken of and stored
away to be used in subsequent years.

IDIsINFEcT CABBAGE SEED.
Some Men Of Science Consider It the
Only Sure Way Of Prevent
ing Black Rot

Some cabbage growers believe that
cabbage black rot is transmitted ny
means of the seed. This belief Is based
upon their observation that plants
from one lot OF seed often rot worse than
plants from another lot Of seed OF the
same variety rnder similar conditions OF
soil and culture. Nm spite Of such EVIL
dence scientific investigators have
doubted that there could be any danger
In using infected seed. II seemed I'M
possible that the germs Of the disease
could live over winter on tne dry seed.
However, this being Joint OF great
practical importance, the New York Ag-
ricultural Experiment station decided to
investigate 1t. A quantity Of cabbage
seed was wet with water containing the
germs Of the disease, then dried and
stored in dry place. Once month the
seeds were tested for the presence OF liv-
ing germs. These experiments are still
in progress; but at the end OF ten months
some germs were found still alive, and
healthy cabbage plants inoculated with
these germs showed unmistakable
symptoms of black rot in from two tn
three weeks. Thus It seems to be con-
clusively proven that the germs OF
black rot can live on dry cabbage seed
for at least ten months, and perhaps
longer.
It has also been proven that tho
germs do actually occur on the seed.
Black rot is q common disease In seed

Holland and Denmark. AS q conse-

must be infested with black rot germs.
With these facts established. II Is
plain that some method Of seed disin-
lection should be employed as a safe
guard against this source of infection
1t is recommended that cabbage and
caulifower seeds be soaked for Is min
utes in one to 1000 solution Of corro-

dry. BY experiment It has been found

costing one cent. is sufficient to make
a pint of solution, which is about the
quantity required to treat one pound OF
cabbage seed.
1t is scarcely to be expected that the
above treatment will give complete
protection against black rot. The
benefit may be very small. But as the
treatment costs nothing except E:tle
bother. and no other remedy being
known, 1t is certainly advisable to dis
infect the seed and thereby avoid un-
necessary risk.-Detroit Free Press.

HARD TIMES IN GREAT BRITAIN

Reports from numerous sources are to the effect
that labor conditions in Great Britain are greatly
depressed United States Consul Boyle at Liverpool
reports that trade in Great Britain is not in as good
condition as it was last year, or for several years pre-
viously. Municipal and national statistics show an
ever-increasing number of men out Of employment; ;
the wages for skilled men show continual lowering
during the last IL months the savings in the banks
by working people have decreased; the popular re-
sorts where the British workmen are accustomed to
go by the hundreds of thousands during the summer
for holiday, show a marked diminution of visitors
and the shopkeepers, not only in London but in the
other large cities of the country, as well as in the
small towns and villages are complaining of the
slackness of business The outlook for the coming
winter is so bad that the local government board

QUEER SITUATION IN RUSSIA.

| The developments in Russia are being watched
with much interest all over the word but it is diff.
cult to arrive at any intelligent understanding of the
exact situation says the Post Intelgencer For the
first time in Russian history popular movement
has been permitted to formulate plan for
Ia change in the system OF government and
to submit its recommendations directly to the ear
The members of the zemstvos have done this thing
They have met in public and without the slightest
interference from the authorities they have dis
cussed publicly the necessity for the people of the
empire to have some part in the conduct of govern
ment; they have passed memorial resolutions favor
ing national parliament; and the memorial resou
tons which they have passed have been formally laid
before the ear. Not only this, but the newspapers
of Russia have been permitted to comment upon the
proceedings freely and the police have been forbten
to arrest newspaper for printing anything which
they might choose to say upon the subject.
Notwithstanding that this has been permitted to
go so far and that the people of Russia have been
given full opportunity to learn all about the move
ment, the announcement is also made that the family
council called by the ear and to which he has here
toIore submitted is UNANIMOUSLY against the grant.
ing of any concessions departing in the slightest
degree from the autocratc form Of government which
Russia has at present The zemstvoists are leaving
ST. Petersburg in high spirits, confident that con-
stituton is to be granted and that Russia is to have
parliamentary government. Yet it appears that the
for the moment has no intention of yielding an
iota
The puzzle is why he should have permitted the
meeting; why he should have allowed the widespread
publicity the full and free discussion if it was in
tended that nothing should come of it. Unless the
car is prepared to make some concessions to the
popular demand which he has permitted to be voiced
he has been playing with fire.

NEW YORK AND THE SOUTH.

From the close of the civil war until 1896 New
York state dominated the Democratic party, says TIN
Ledger The influence of the south and its potica
giants was destroyed by secession and the soutl
while furnishing the most reliable and substantial
support the Democratic party could command die
not venture to arouse sectional animosy by bringing
forward candidates for the presidency. The south
looked to New York for candidates and whenever q
man of conspicuous ability or prominence hailing
from that state sought the presidential nomination
the esouth readily supported him both in the conven
tion and at the polls Horatio Seymour, twice gov.
ernor of New York, but defeated for reelection in
1864 became the candidate for the presidency in
1868 the convention having taken u ballots without
result before Seymour's name was proposed Sey-
mour presided over the convention and was nomi-
mated by reclamation against his earnest protest.
Horace Greeley the leader of the liberal Republicans
and editor Of the New York Tribune, was nominated
by the Democrats the first ballot in the convention
at Baltimore in 1872 Governor Samuel j. Tilden,
of New York. was nominated on the second ballot
at the St. Louis convention in 1876 He refused to be
a candidate in $780, or he would certainly have been
the nominee that year instead of General Hancock.
Cleveland was nominated in 1884, 1888 and 1892.
Thus it appears that the Democracy looked to New
York for candidate at every election from the close
of the civil war until the rise of popuism and the
free silver agitation in the west between 1893 and
1896 The New York delegation retired from the
Chicago convention of that year before the adoption
of the platform and neither presented candidate
nor participated in the nomination.
1t was natural after the overwhelming defeats of
1896 and 1900 for the southern Democracy to turn
again to New York and indorse the candidacy of
Judge Parker this year. 1t is interesting, however
to note since election that southern Democratic
leaders express the opinion that New YOrks prestige
and influence in the party have been forfeited Sen
ator Bailey of Texas says: II fully agree with those
who hold that the result of the recent election must
destroy the overshadowng influence which New York
has heretofore sought to exercise in making Demo
cratic candidates do not suggest or encourage any
spirit of bitterness against the Democrats of New
York. but her leaders should be made to understand
that they must demonstrate willingness and an
ability to help elect our nominees before they are ever
again permitted to dictate them"
The south, however, is too timid to put forward
one of its own leaders as a candidate for the pres
dency and it is safe to predict that if New York
should happen to elect Democratic governor in 1906
would be the most likely nominee of the Demo
cracy for president in 1908
