The New Horticulture.
1.-THE Stra Nberry.l


Horticulturists who for years have
heard vague and unsatisfactory discus
sion of the "Stringfellow method of
closet root pruning of orchard trees,
will be glad to learn that H. NJ. String
fellow has put his method, as we'll as
the results he has achieved, into book
that all may read. The title of the
book is The New Horticulture" 1t is
published by Farm and Ranch publish
ing company, Dallar. Tex, and is fine
addition to horticultural literature.
Whatever the merits, or dement's of
Mr.. Stringfellow's methods, he has his
say in the book, and it is an interesting
and, hopeful word he brings to those who
grow fruit trees for market. The ex-
periences he relates have abundant
proofs of their authenticity. and none
may be harmed by reading them and
the conclusions Mr.. s;tringfellow draws,
No man ever met Mr.. Stringfellow who,
after the meeting, doubted either his
intelligence or his sincerity. When
such man speaks the world owes him
a hearing, no matter if he runs counter
to our accepted theories of horticulture
and destroys many orthodox beliefs.

To Check swarmina.

If the bees did not persist in dividing
their forces so frequently, much more
surplus honey could be obtained, and
the beekeeper himself would feel more
easy about his bees. In producing
comb honey in one-pound boxes, it is
necessary to actually crowd the bees
into the section boxes, for they seem
to begin work in such small divisions,
and this crowding is one of the incen-
tives which creates the swarming fever.
When producing extracted honey,
abundant room can be given, and the
swarming impulse is greatly checked.
Therefore, if bees are to be kept far
from the house, and can not be given
much attention, it is advisable to pro-
duce only extracted honey, which is
done by giving the bees large combs
and plenty of room, for it matters not
whether the combs are entirely COM
pleted or not, as the honey is taken
from them and the combs retained to
be used.

ALFALFA IN IOWA.

From the experiment station at the
Iowa Agricultural College comes an
announcement full of interest and the
promise Of future profit to Iowa farm
ers. The college is behind the posi-
tive statement that alfalfa can be suc-
cessfully grown in all parts of Iowa,
and is certain to become ore of the
common crops of the. state. In this
statement the college takes open issue
with John Cownie who has convinced
himself and many others that this wall
liable crop cannot be grown in Iowa.
Most farmers having ordinary ac-
quaintance with the school and knowl-
edge of its methods of reaching con-
clusions, will accept it's dictum on all
falfa over that of Mr.. Cownie. Older
farmers well remember that it was once
generally admitted that apple orchards
could not be grown north of central

Iowa counties were not considered as

Points About Sage.

| Here are some Of the points about
Sage and his career which will give a
better understanding of the man:
He was worth between $1O0,000,O0C
and s150,000,000.
He would argue about the price OF
two apples or quarrel about the cost
of hair cut.
He was saved from bankruptcy by
Jay Gould.
He returned the compliment by saw
ing Gould from financial ruin.
He narrowly escaped Imprisonment,
for usury.
He began making money at the age
of 10.
He had made $4,000 when he was
25.
He served in congress between 1852
and 1856.
EARLY in his career he was a rum
seller
His word was as good as most mems
bonds.
He went to church every Sunday.
He gave scarcely anything for public
or charitable purposes.
He appeared almost absolutely to
lack nerves.
He wore the cheapest clothes and
his tastes were of the plainest.

The state committee which meets
at Des Moines Monday next has a
momentous task before it. If it will
undertake to assume some of the re-
sponsibility for arranging the pre-con-
ventfon caucuses and the temporary
organization, not in any spirit of par
tisanship as between candidates, but
as a result of honest consideration OF
the practical merits of the several con-
tests, being content to do approximate
justice without thought of trying to
pack the convention, it will do much
toward avoiding trouble.
But in addition to that work the
central committee and several leading
Perkins and Cummins men ought TO
have conference with the temper
airy chairman and get a pledge from
him that as presiding officer of til.
temporary organization he will hon
estly and justly used his authority and
his position to the advantage OF
neither faction. 1t probably would
be well to agree to vote by ballot
on all questions coming before the
temporary organization. This dec
laration on the part of the temporary
chairman and the central committee,
pledging themselves as men to be
fair and just in all instances, would
do more to prevent trouble than any
thing else that now can be done.
Unless such assurances are forth
coming from the proposed temporary
chairman the state convention may
be a repetition on a large scale of
many of the county conventions-a
fight the minute the convention is
called to order Every republican who
has the interest of the party deeply at
heart hopes that this may not be the
case and yet there is no need of being
blind to what is likely to happen.

Root PRUNING of Corn.

Deep blowing among the growing

rows, may cause harm: root pruning
is mistake; to break the roots checks

corn to curl, showing injury, while
shallow working will keep it fresh and
green. AS soon as crust is formed on
the soil it should be broken up. to adj
nit both moisture and air. for the one
dissolves the fertilizing matter which
is In the soil, and the other affects its
decomposition and renders 1t soluble.
SO that after rain which has crusted
the surface, the cultivator should be
started as soon as the soil is dry
enough. This tends to hold the mois-
ture and prevents its speedy evapora
