Roses For Forcing.

Hybrid perpetual roses, whether in

until quite severe weather. They will
need no water except to kee; them

should be stood in cold pit, cellar or

The juvenile grange is fast becoming

work, particularly SO in Michigan and
in one or two of the New England
states There are now fifteen juvenile
oranges in Michigan, eight having been
organized since Jan. 1. Incidentally
we may add that the same state has or
and six Pomona oranges this year.
Miss Jennie Buell., secretary of the
Michigan state grange, writes that she
has been gradually converted to jul
yenile grange work by seeing it carried
on in several oranges for several years.
Where a good leader adapted to the
work of the children can be secured, "
she says, work of iaestimable value
may be done with the country children
through the juvenile grange" Ida L.
Chittenden, who has been in charge of
the juvenile grange work in Lansing,
Mich, says in a recent letter that many
Inquiries have been coming to the state
officers as to the best way of organic

A CONSIDERATE MAN.

On the second day of my stay with Uncle

we went up the side of the mountain for a
mile to inspect a big cave. When we had
looked about for time we came out and
sat down on rock and he began telling
me a story about the moonshners. I had
just become interested when bullet
struck a nearby tree with a 'spat,' and we
heard the report of rife not far away.
Wasn't that a bullet?" l asked
Il reckon 1t was he replied; but there
is no cause TO be skeered."
Ten minutes later a bullet hit the rock
between US, and as l leaped to my feet 1
exclaimed:
Uncle Ben, some one is surely shooting
at u.s.!
Yes, of co'se; but he haint gwine to hit
nobody inside of a week. It's that critter
Jim Hope, and he couldn't hit barn door
a hundred feet away.
But what's he shooting for?"
