This will be discovered on the tips
Of the bushes and also upon the buds

suck the sap from these tender parts

How to Grow Cuttings.


How can you root summer cuttings:

branch that is coming into bloom, OF

Put them in the window and keep con.
stantly damp until they root, which
should be in from 3 to weeks. Teas
root easily by this method.
To root from semi-dormant wood /:
About the beginning of autumn, Sep
TENDER in the North, October in the
South, take your cuttings. Several
may be made from one cane, as pretty
we'll ripened wood roots after this
method as well as any. Make the cut
tings about 6 inches long. Cut Just be-

handful of sand at the bottom if you

the earth very solidly about them.
Only about an inch of the upper stem
should project above the ground Put
glass fruit jar over the cuttings,
sinking the jar well into the ground,
then bank up the earth a couple Of
inches around the can. Let the cut
tings, jar and all, rigidly alone until
spring Is well advanced. 1t will be
found then that nearly every cutting
has rooted. This plan seems to be a
success wherever 1t is tried, North,
South, East or West. Nearly all hybrid
teas and perpetuals root well in this
way. So do moss, memorial and ram
bier roses.
In the culture of roses the greatest
trials and disappointments are met
with in the insects that persistently at
tack them and of which there are
many. One of the first in the early
summer is the green fly or aphis.

A. Hall of this city, who had been cor
oner for years, was this year candi-
date for representative. The office
of coroner was overlooked and no one
filed for it In time to get on the ticket.
Hence this place on the ballot was left
blank and the name of the person vot-
ed for had to be written in. None OF
the doctors made fight for the place,
and hence in over 3,100 votes less than
400 voters expressed preference for
coroner
Doctors W. w. Wyatt of kamrar.
and C. |. Eberle Of this city, received
the most votes. Dr. Wyatt was nom
mated. receiving 2S3 votes to some-
thing over 100 for DIR. Eberle
It turns out now however, that In lnde-
pendence township, where all the vote
for DR.. Wyatt was cast, all ballots
were counted for him where his name
was written regardless of whether the
voter placed the usual square ana
cross in front Of the name or not.
