The Man of the Hour.

He stood in the hall at midnight,
But the clock was not striking the
hour,
For his careful touch had stilled it,
Ere the storm had time to lower.
He said, as the stairs he climbed softly
"A hero of labor I'm like
For surely this night I've averted
A most disastrous strike"

b regard to luxuries as to neces-
es. and especially apropos is its

y. For some years efforts have been
de to cultivate successfully the
ster lily in the Southeastern States,
it has been found that the climate
that section is not as favorable for
lily bulbs as it is in the Bermudas
d Japan.
Experiments have demonstrated that
lbs of the Easter lily can be carried
err a season in cold storage, with a
suit that they are benefited very
aterially as it subjects them to a
ndition approaching that existing in
lpan, the native country of the spe.
es, where the bulbs are heavily COW
ed with snow during the resting
sriod. This discovery has opened
ew possibilities in the cultivation OF
le lily. Heretofore, bulbs have been
lanted in some parts of the South

For the best results fruit and other
trees should be cultivated early and
often during the spring and early sum-
mer, as that is the time when most
growth is made. When the fruit is
small there is plenty of sap for vigor.

approaches maturity the wood growth

As the warmth of spring approaches
the system Graves some fresh acid, and
nothing is more grateful than rhubarb
A most satisfactory practice is to cover
a couple of thrifty stools of rhubart
with an old half-barrel, inverted, and
pile around it green manure. This will
force it into quick growth.

Planting overgrown nursery stock
because it can be secured cheaper than
young stock is a serious mistake. In
the first place the handling is much
greater, and, again, such trees will
never make the sturdy and vigorous
growth of the younger ones. To use
them at any price is poor economy.

proved methods of selection and cul-
tivation, would undoubtedly be eventu-
ally a good policy for the growers to
pursue, yet, except in the case OF the
more progressive growers, there Is lit
tie likelihood of this being done, as it
would materially decrease the revenue
from lily farming for the time being.
This will readily be understood when
it is stated that an acre of lilies will
bring from $1,000 to $4,000. Some
growers on the islands who thoroughly
appreciate the Importance OF careful
methods are using small bulbs in
preference to scales, and are selecting
and fertilizing carefully, but they are
heavily handicapped by the many
small growers who cultivate their
crops according to old methods; and
in these cases there is no selection
with a view to producing and perpetu-
ating good types. Little manure Is
used. The methods Of propagation are
very faulty and they have not been
changed since the beginning of the in
dustry in the islands. For instance
in the growing of the bulbs for Amer
lean markets the smaller sizes are
planted in the fall and harvested IN
July, or before the bulbs have thorough.
" ripened. In the process of handling,
many of the immature scales drop
from the bulbs. These are not thrown
away, as they ought to be, but are
carefully saved and planted with a view
to raising small bulbs. These bulbs
ultimately form a large part OF the
general crop.
AS a result Of all these conditions
the bulbs marketed by Bermuda have
become ~impregnated with disease, SC
that, at the present time it is almost
impossible to secure a bulb or plant
which does not show some trace OF d.
sease.
The American Method.
Investigations made by the Depart
ment Of Agriculture have shown thai
by the use of seeds instead OF scales
larger bulbs can be secured in a much
shorter time than can be produced by
the scale method. Moreover, 1t has

Orchard Notes.

Soon is the time when the apple Dor
er will emerge from the trunk of the
tree in the shape of a fly and look
about for crevices in the tree trunks
in which to deposit her eggs. A way
often recommended is to take a hoe
and hill up each tree about six inches.
This will necessitate the laying OF the
eggs on the trunk where they can be
easily gotten at and destroyed later.
May will be a good time to walk
rapidly through the orchard and rub
off the new shoots, or water sprouts,
on the trunks of the trees. If much
pruning has been done these will be
found in abundance. When soft and
green, as they are during this month,
they can be easily removed, pulled out
by the roots, as it were, whereas later
they will have to be cut OF, causing
a liability to sprout again.

all other boys. they like TO ash and swim.
When my boys go of for . swim in the
lake OF river. my heart is in my mouth un-
I'll see them coming back, for fear that
something will happen them. Every day or
80 one reads In the paper OF a boy being
drowned in the lake or river and especially
the river. A public bath house on the
lake with proper safeguards for the little
ones who go there to battle will be bless
ing to the mother Of boys who are bent on
swimming and will take a great load on
her mind Public swimming holes are a
blessing to any community and Omaha is
away behind our sister cities in this re-
spect. BY all means improve the lake and
give to us a public bath house. Cut-On
lake Is the only body OF water near Omaha
and II can be made blessing to every clti-
zen in the city by very little expense.
In these few remarks I am only voicing

A remarkable advantage In this engine
Is that the car speed is almost entirely
controlled by the throttle, the same as a
locomotive; even on grades the speed Of
the car can be varied from three 10 sew

and spark levers only. or It can be started
on what Is known as high speed. The en-

the speed Of the car entirely controlled by
the speed OF the engine. This makes the
operation OF the car very simple and the
economy In the consumption Of gasoline
and reduced duty on the Transmission is
/ such that the practicabiIity Of these ears
for everyday heavy service is certainly
demonstrated.

Of air Intake and the Cottier exhaust ven

The car weighs $1,000 pounds, but this

pounds in subsequent cars.

OMAHA, Sept. 15.-To the Editor Of The
Bee: When the Dodge primary law was
passed at the last session of the legislature
II was the boast of its author and sup
porters that II would permit Douglas
county to select candidates for ONCE un-
influenced by corporations. and 1t would
prevent ballot box stuffing. slate making,
etc.
A few days ago a slate was formed and
we find upon the SLATE" the following. who
were members of the last legislature:
Charles j. Anderson, 8. C. Barnes, Henry
T. Clark. ir., N. p. Dodge. jr., Michael Lee
and r. s. Tucker for representatives. They
ought to be willing to allow the voters to
do their own thinking and vote according
to their own conscience. Strange that at
the first opportunity we find the men who
passed the Dodge bill for its grandeur and
purity In politics forming a slate. and men
will be stationed at every voting precinct
next Tuesday handing out slate tickets.
There ia a disposition all over the county
to down the slate" What interest have
the corporation slate makers in framing
up this trust slate? Are they afraid to
! trust the people? 1 am willing to take my
chances with the other thirty-five at the
polls and let the people select their own
representatives to Offices A slate always
means that some very undesirable men are
selected. WILLIAM r. wAPPICH.
