Cumming of Trees.

There have been described eevero7
different conditions of disease ,,,,;oh
are accompanied by an emulation q,
gum, not only of the peach. but Of
other stone fruits. The emulation Of
gum from wounds is especially char
acteristic Of these fruits, in which
case under normal conditions the flow
OF gum is not great, but it is a protec.
ton against weathcring and invasion
by parasitic fungi, besides greatly as.
sisting the process of healing. It is
only when the flow of gum becomes
excessive or chronic that it assumes
the nature Of diseases, and then it is
due to some obscure cause of phys-
biological nature such as improner
soil or root conditions, or ANYTHING
which may interfere with the natural
functional activities of the tree. The
singing of the fruit by insects or the
operations OF the fruit bark beetle
talso called the pin borer) on the tree
always excites flow of gum. It is

This particular trouble has been re-
ported as being very injurious at
times in New York, Ohio. Illinois

The fruit bark beetle is a small black
insect one-twelfth to one-tenth inch
long, and the injury it causes consists
in the making of a great number of
small holes through the bark to. or
into, the sap wood, causing an extern
slVe gum flow and a deadening of the
bark Immediately around the uunc
lures, usually resulting fatally to the
tree. 1t is reported that the insect
more commonly visits sickly trees
than healthy ones, and that on such
trees the larvae can be found in num-
bers between the bark and wood

SAFEST FOOD
In Any Time of Trouble Is Grape-Nuts

Food to rebuild the strength and
that is pre- digested must be selected
when one is convalescent. At this
time there is nothing SO valuable as
Grape-Nuts for the reason that this
food is all nourishment and is also all
digestible nourishment. A woman
who used 1t says:
Some time ago l vas very i'll with
typhoid fever, so i'll everyone thought
l would die, even myself. 1t left nae
so weak l could not properly digest
food of any kind and l also had much
bowel trouble which left me a weak,
helpless wreck.
Il needed nourishment as badly as
anyone could, but none of the tonics
helped me until l finally tried Grape
Nuts food morning and evening. This
not only supplied food that l thought
delicious as could be but it also made
me perfectly well and strong again SO
l can do all my homework, sleep well,
can eat anything without any trace of
bowel trouble and for that reason
alone Grape-Nuts food Is worth its
weight in gold" Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Typhoid fever like some other dis
eases attacks the bowels and frequent
ly sets up bleeding and makes them
for months incapable Of digesting the
starcheS and therefore pre dipested
Grape-Nuts is invaluable for the we'll
known reason that in Grape-Nuts all
the starches have been transformed
into grape sugar. This means that the
first stage Of digestion has been me
chanically accomplished in Grape-Nuts
food at the factories and therefore
anyone, nc matter how weak the stom-
ach, can handle It and grow strong
for all the nourishment is still there.
There's a sound reason and 10 days
trial proves.

N IN
A Vegetable For Which There is Al
ways "a Market at Profitable
Prices.

Most farmers would think $45 an
acre for anu would be an extrava'
CANT outlay of money. But down in
New Jersey they spend that il for
stable manure at $3.50 a ton, and con-
slider it a good investment. Naturally
they do not raise corn or wheat or
oats on that sort of soil. They raise
asparagus and get from $500 to $460
per acre in return from 1t. Expert
ments from four different kinds OF
fertilizers show that stable manure
brings the largest returns. The dill
ferent fertilizers used We're as fol-
lows: Manure, $45 per acre; complete
fertilizer, bone and potash. 1882;
complete fertilizer, bone and potash
and nitrate of soda, $21.91. There is
a constantly increasing demand for
asparagus. the market holds good and
is likely to for years, yet hundreds OF
farmers who own good land near large
cities go on year after year raising
corn, pats and other crops which yieid
them a pare living. Asparagus Is a
sure crop, a sure sale and always
profitable.
The soil should be plowed in the
fall and subsoiled, then turned double
burrows five feet apart and place the
roots five inches below the surface.
Strew about one half the fertilizer in
the bottom of the furrow, mix it with
the soil and place the remainder ON
top after the roots are planted. Ma
nure can be applied after the plants
have started to grow with good ad-
vantage. Place the roots about thirty
inches apart in the rows. Before the
growth starts in the spring, work the
ground thoroughly with disc and har-
row, and then cover the rows slightly
with the single cultivator shovel set
to throw dirt outward. Cultivate every
ten days thereafter, and keep the soil
in fine condition.
If bleached asparagus Is desired,
throw a ridge OF soil over the row as
soon as growth is started and cut as
the shoots show through this ridge a
length of six or seven inches. If green
asparagus is wanted, cover with only
about three inches. From twenty-five

merly was, but the excitement and
served for the last few weeks or
days before the election. Twenty or
80 years ago, and even before the
war. there were months of campaign
excitement, and political gatherings
were held throughout the country,
sented and refuted. and the voters
talked to for the purpose Of CONVEX
sion.
So far this year it has been dem
onstrated that tho voters of the con"
try take little interest In the public
addresses, and in the eld-style Joint
Debates" by NEAR of which political
doctrines were formerly disseminated.
It has been demonstrated that these
only attended public meetings who
are interested in sending noted men.
and hearing the oratory OF noted
speakers. They do not attend to hear
arguments, and care little for what
Is presented on either side. They go
to public meetings to be entertained
and diverted. This change has been
fully grasped by the political man
ayers of the w great parties. and
they are directing their efforts to edu-
cate the people by other means. They
have not abandoned altogether the
public gatherings. the barbecues,
marching clubs and torch-light pro-
cessions. but provide for them o as
a means of exciting public interest
than making political converts.
Chairman Babcock. of the republic
an congressional campaign committee,
declares that the most effective work
is now done on election day, not He
gally. in the way of bribery or any
fraudulent work, but by persisten'

ual voters. "This will be an election
day campaign" he said the other day,
"and we propose TO devote our efforts
to getting out the vote in the close
cor grcssional districts"

The national managers have learned
that the establishment of rural free
delivery and the extension of sub
urban trolley systems have been the
greatest aids in the dissemination of
general knowledge in the past ten
years. They have aided in the polit-
ical education of the country by Civ
ing the rural population daily mails.
and of this the national committees
have taken due advantage. They send
out daily brief pamphlets on political
topics, which the farmer and work
men can read in a few minutes. They
have a corps of newspaper writer's at
headquarters. who furnish to the
smaller daily newspapers editorial
matter and news letters Of q political
character, so that the claims Of each
party are constantly before the eyes
of the public. The public is a closer
reader than ever before, and for this
a has about made up its mind
on political questions before the cam
