We are in receipt this week of cop
les of the publications issued by the
Liter day Saints university, consisting
of the quarterly bulletin and two
other booklets. both of which bear
the name of The Gold and Blue, pub
lished by the students of that institu-
tion semi-monthly. Both are nicely
illustrate, one being devoted to Civ
ing a description of the college and
its facilities for the imparting of
knowledge, and the other being a
school magazine, in which the stu
dents get the current news of the
school, and to which they contribute
articles of their own composition.
This latter is adorned by the portraits
of large number of the students,
including the editorial staff. The
mechanical work on these publica-
tions is good and the news matter
and literary work is all right. What s
the matter with the Branch Normal
publishing neat little weekly or
semi monthly next winterY With
our present good equipment The
Record could handle the work nicely
for them, and it would add much to
the prestige of the school and the
culture of the students.

Mr. Henry Leigh is being talked of
by the republicans of this city for
member of the Legislature, and it is
quite probable that he will receive
the nomination if he will accept it.
MIR. Leigh is no office seeker. and
il he consents to serve his constitu-
ents in this capacity, it will undoubt-
eddy be more from sense of duty
than from desire for either the
glory or the emoluments of the office.
The gentleman is one of our most
capable citizens, and would make a
very worthy representative.

Girdling OF Grapevines.

The girdling or ringing OF grapevines
is done to increase the size of each clus-
ter. It is not practiced exclusively,
however, although some find the method
profitable. The bark is entirely re-
moved below the fruit cluster about a
month before the period of ripening,
which hastens ripening about a week
or two in advance, and enlarges the
bunch and berries. The sap ascends
through the pores of the wood to ssus-
tain growth. but the elaborated rap de-
sscends through the wood and the bark,
and can go no lower than the point at
which the girdle is made, where 1t stops
and is utilized In feeding the grapes.
Some injury ise done the vine below the
gtrdle, and it may not pay to girdle on
an extensive scale. zE.1 II

dals, expose more rottenness and involve
many much higher In authority than the
legal proceedings indicate. In their re-
port they denounce Perry Heath, tho
secretary Of the republican national

say that Charles Emory Smith, ex-post-
master general; Robert Tracewell,
comptroller Of the treasury; Henry A.
Castle, auditor forthe post Office depart
ment, and the late and present postmas-
ters OF Washington, D. c., all appear to
have shared in the responsibility for the
acts Of the minor officials that have
been indicted. They also say that the
Tulloch charges" have never been
properly investigated. The far-reach-
Ing grab game of the minor officials has
been described by the Kansas City Jour-
nal in a way that will bring the mat
ter home to the voters:
whenever within the last ten years
anyone In America mailed a letter. the
chances were that he deposited it in q
letter box which was bought by graft,
painted by graft and attached to the
lamp post by graft. He found what time
the letter would be collected by reading
time card put on the letter box by
graft. The mailcarrier who took up the
letter, if he lived in the east, perhaps
paid bribe to get his job or to get an
increase of salary. The postman placed
the letter in pouch suspended from q
shoulder strap, both of which were sold
to the government by fraud, and carried
1t to the post Office, where, perhaps.
some favored or mulcted clerk Cancelled
the stamp with ink and a machine fraud
ulently foisted upon the post depart
ment. The letter was then bundled up
with other mail matter tied together
with a piece of twine or leather thong
which the government was swindled in
to buying, and thereupon thrown into a
railroad mail bag; and this bag, it's fas-
tener, its locks, its keys, became public
property by three distinct and separate
gratis. Finally, the laden bag was sent
of to the train according to the time
told out by peculiar clock, during every
tick of which Uncle Sam was being out
rageously robbed and swindled."
1t might be added that the greatest
graft has not been included, the rail-
roads every time a wheel goes round
charge Uncle Sam more than twice as
much for carrying pound of mail as
they charge the express companies. The

RASPBERRIES IN HILLS.
Not = Common Method OF Planting
But q Very Profitable and
Satisfactory One.

A correspondent asks whether any
one has tried raising raspberries in hills,
so as to allow cross-cpltivation and to
eliminate the necessity Of hand hoeing.
l have. and consider 1t a perfect sue
cess, although little hard work around
the hills will be necessary If no weeds
or grass are allowed to make seed.
have always used a stake at each
hill and tied up the vines for part of the
year at least. When first trimmed.
like to tie them up fairly close until
thoroughly cultivated; then loosen the
string and let them spread. but not fall
This l regard as the ideal treatment. but
it makes two tyings Of each hill necessary.
Still if such yields could be had as we
used to get from patch Of Kirkland red
raspberries grown in hills between
grapes which were on stakes eight feet
both ways, almost any amount of care
would be justified. l have picked three
pints of berries from a single hill at a
single picking when the patch was be-
ing picked twice each week. and a
quart per hill per picking was not un-
common from the best parts ofthe patch.
These berries were grown with from
three to six canes let in each hill, and
loosely tied about two and one-half or
three feet from the ground. The tops,
when fruit laden and fully spread, occu-
pied space of possibly three and one
half feet in diameter. OF course, ber-
ries thus grown can be allowed to at
tain a much greater height than when
no support is given.
The Kirkland was a fairly vigorous
grower, berries of only medium size,
and soft, but in yield and flavor l have
never seen them excelled. With the
introduction of better shipping berries,
we lost the stock, and l have not seen
them advertised for years. l should be
glad to learn If anyone still has this va
riety in cultivation.
am now growing only small patches,
but they are all staked and cross-culti-
waited, the labor being no greater than

porting.-Country Gentleman.

MORE BIRD EXPERIENCE,

1t was kind-hearted farmer in the
Michigan fruit belt who turned the noz-
zle of the insect spraying hose away
from a plum tree in which a robin with
an appealing eye had it's nest. The hus-
bandman used the hose on all his other
plum trees, but when he came to pick
his crop, 10. the robin tree yielded four
fold that of the others. The kindly
farmer saw a great light, and now says
it would be we'll II every plum tree bore
a robins nest.
The cold scientist will tell the farmer
that the robins did not eat largely Of the
pests which preyed on his plums, for
the robin CLEANS mostly from the
ground. but the scientist will add that
the sparing of the tree from the poison
spray made it the dining-table of hun

PRESS COMMENTS.

Senator Hanna's friends at least
seem positive that he will not make any
of those familiar feints at retiring from

ing what he is going to DO without po-

There can be no doubt that the re-
publican party, or a respectable element
in it, is sore on Roosevelt and his spec
tacular methods. Many conservative
men in the party devoutly wish they
might be happily rid of him, but, like
the man holding the bear by the tail,
they are afraid to turn loose.-Augusta

position, will not Roosevelt's nomina-
ton in 1904 become not only an uncer-
tainty, but of doubtful practcability
from a party point of view? Events
seem to be tending toward a crisis in
which the party may be compelled to cut
loose from both Roosevelt and Hanna
and take up some new man for its pres;-
Dental candidate next year. Should this
happen, the leaders will probably be
compelled to turn to Speaker Cannon as

Mr.. Cannon is free from any of the en-

APPLES FOR EXPORT.
American Fruit Industry Expandlng
In = Way That II Gixing Gen-
eral Satis1aCtion. sz

In consequence Of poor apple crop
In 1902 and nearly q failure this year In
France, large quantities OF American
dried apples are being imported into tho
republic. The American apples are be-
ing used for cider making and culinary
purposes. The imports Of chopped ap-
pies for cider in 1902 totaled 3,071 tons.
against 1868 tons in 1901. The imports
OF evaporated American apples in 1902
were 241 tons. against 194 tons in 1901
and 402 tons in 1900. There has been ar
enormous increase the current year, AZ
the bureau of statistics shows that for
the first eight months of 1903 the i'm
ports Of chopped apples reached the
grand proportions of 5000 tons against
!, 300 tons in 1901. The imports Of evap-
Grated apples for the same period ag-
gregated 480 tons, as against 1874 tons for
the corresponding dates in 1901. Owing
to the partial failure of apples in France
this season the American evaporated
apples have found ready sale, being
widely distributed in new foreign mar
kets.
The short apple harvest In France, al
we'll as short grape crop, make green
apples extraordinarily high and wine
also dearer than it has been in many sea-
sons. For this reason large export Of
chopped apples and evaporated fruit has
been contracted for by French importers.
All indications warrant large export
Of American fruit to France, particularly
apples. The chopped apples will be made
into cider to supply the deficit in the
wine output of 1903.
American producers are offered the
opportunity of enlarging the export Of
chopped apples, and shippers should
take the precaution to see that the fruit
is thoroughly dried before putting into
packages for export. The quality of
American apples received at Havre has
been good and gave excellent .satisfac-
tfon to consumers.
The American fruit industry is ex-
panding rapidly as large tracts of land
especially adapted to orcharding are now
being cultivated by system of scien-
tiflc irrigation. The United States ex-
cells all other countries in the excellence
of her apples. and with the increased
acreage of archards is now raising more
than enough of this fruit to supply do
mestic consumption. For several sea-
sons England has been liberal GUS
toner for American apples, and it is to
be regretted that greater efforts have
not been made to export fresh apples
to France. Conditions are particularly
favorable the present season to establish
a reputation for American apples
abroad, and for the advantage Of the
future fruit industry producers should
enlarge their exports this season. There
is a large crop of choice commercial ap-
pies this year, and II a portion Of tho
surplus was exported to France It would
contribute largely in establishing sta
