place i'll the open ground, being care
ful to firm the soil we'll around the
base OF the cutting when it is planted.
1t is a good plan to mulch the soil
about the cuttings with leaves or old
straw, SO that the ground will keep
cool and moist. This method can be
used from November to March. Take
cuttings from only healthy, vigorous
plants. Set them four to six inches
deep, depending on the length of the

DOUBLE YELLOW JEssANTINE.
(Ge1semium Sempervirens Flora
PIenO.)

Last fall we mentioned the fact that
this variety had bloomed in November.
This year it began to blossom in
October, and at this time it has quite
a number Of flowers out, though the
wild variety seldom or never opens a
flower until in January or February.
The double form does not bloom freely
until about the same time that the wild
species begins to flower. Although it
does not blossom SO profusely as the
single form, yet it is SO very beautiful
that we consider it a very desirable ad
dition to the list of hardy Towering
vines. The flowers are somewhat small
ler than those Of the single form, but
are as double as little roses, and very
fragrant We think that it should have
a place in every yard where flowers
are grown.

Unreasonable Growth.

The unusually dry season caused many
trees to shed their foliage much earlier
than usual Warm weather and some
rains have started some Of them into
growth again. A large Catalpa bigno-
nioideS which shed all its leaves very
early has now almost an entire set Of
new ones, not yet fully grown but quite
good size. The same is true Of a wild
persimmon tree in one Of the chicken
yards. But few of Our soft naples
(Acer rubrum), have shed their foliage,
but one near the house did so, and now
there are several shoots along the
trunk which are growing quite
vigorously. Have such unreasonable
growths been noticed in other parts Of
the state?

Beauty of Azalea Ca1endu1acea.

We have one native species Of
Azalea in Florida, Azalea nudihora,
which is one of the earliest shrubs to
open its blossoms in the spring. 1t is
often called swamp honeysuckle, and
has various other names in different
parts Of the country. 1t is usually
light pink in color, but varies in shades,
sometimes appearing almost white.
Mr.. Joseph Meehan describes another
native American species in the Florists
Exchange, which we think deserves to
have a place in our gardens in this
state:
Notwithstanding the great beauty Of
many of the hybrid or Client azaleas,
it is questionable if there is one in the
whole lot as worthy Of cultivation as
the North Carolina mountain A. calen-
dulacea. It is known to most Northern
cultivatOrs as the fame-colOred azalea,
but it's original common name was fiery
azalea. This name was given it by Bar
tram in his ''Travels, and what he says
of it and it's merits is we'll worth quot
ing. "Thls epithet, Fiery [ annex to
this most celebrated species Of azaleas,
as being expressive Of the appearance
of its flowers, which are in general Of
the finest red lead, orange and bright
gold, as we'll as yellow and cream color.
These various splendid colors are not
only in separate plants, but frequently
all the varieties and shades are seen in
different branches on the same plant
and the clusters of blossoms cover the
shrubs in such incredible profusion on
the hillsides that, suddenly opening to
view from dark shades, we are alarmed
with the apprehension Of the woods be-
ing set on fire. This is certainly the
most gay and brilliant Towering shrub
yet Known
This picture of the beauty of the
plant is by no means overdraWn, for,
as said, it is among the most worthy
of cultivation of all azaleas. The fact
Of it's existing in so many colors, as
instructed by Bartram, is unknown to
many, and it is not uncommon for those
who buy plant or two Of it to think
a mistake has been made when they
notice a difference in color, and perhaps
neither color just the same as they had
seen on other plants.
Collectors have done we'll in making

HON. WALTER I. SMITH

The reputation of Walter i. Smith,

suitable man to succeed Allison, in
case Allison decides not to be can

The Sentinel says: He is brilliant,
scholarly with a spotless personal
character and political record, young
and active and would promise a ser.
vice much like that of Allison. With
man of his caliber in the place, al
ready having national reputation
rs legislator and immensely popular
in Washington where his brilliant
wit and magnetic personality have
won for him most enviable reputa-
ton, the state would be able TO main.
tain its former prestige" All thatThe
Sentinel says of Walter |. Smith is
true. He is young and strong and as
u senator would be Woodworking,
able and faithful. He Is not quarrel
some yet has sufficient fight in him for
practical purposes. The next Iowa
senator will be chosen at q primary
election. Allison cannot take the
stump, and Notwithstanding his great
character and reputation would be al
disadvantage in the campaign. There
are interesting days ahead, and il
Smith enters the field he would prob
ably make a complete campaign OF

THE UNITED WORKMEN.
And their Friends Pleasantly Enter.
tanned BY the Howard Lecture.

On Tuesday evening the members of
the local lodge of the A. O. u. w.
with their families and friends assem-
hear an illustrated lecture given by
Deputy Grand Master Geo. O. How
ard of Des Moines.
The pictures presented by Mr.. How
ard representing scenes in all parts
of the world as he led his audience in
an imaginary journey, were very beau
tiful indeed; and his descriptions were
entertaining and instructive. The ex-
ercises were preceded and interpersed
with martial music by the Shelley
Bros. who deserve the thanks of the
order and the audience for their con-
tribution to the entertainment. The
music was especially helpful during
the long wait caused by the burning
out of a fuse. The object of Mr..
Howard's lecture is to arouse inter
est in the order he represents and 10
impress the men with the necessity OF
securing protection for their families
should they be called away. There
are Jew men too poor to carry some
insurance in fraternal society for
the benefit of their families. Mr..
Howard is doing a philanthropiC
work in going about the country pre-.
senting this important subject. After
the lecture the members of the order
with their families and lady friends
repaired to their hall where they en-
joyed good supper and social
dance

WHAT HAS AMEs DoNEq

No member of the state legislature
who wants to have regard for the ag-
ricultural interests of the state can
afford to take any risks with the col.
lege at Ames. What has that college
done that it should be taken out of
its own hands and placed in the man
agement of board. ia common with
other state institutions? has it failed
at any point? Has it been extrava-
giant? Has it lacked popularity? is
it not true, on the contrary, that it
has attained to a degree of usefulness
that reaches TO every point of the
state? Has it not built up reputa-
ton that has made it conspicuous "a
mong the industrial schools Of the
whole civilized world?
If it has accomplished all these
things under its present system and
under it's present management, why
tamper with them now, when it is in
the height of its prosperity and its
usefulness? Why not let something
that is we'll enough alone? Why this
unrest? Why this constant desire for
change? Why should its president be
pilloried because he is opposed 10
changes and has used some Of his in
fiuence against it? Why should its
professors be treated like so many
naughty school boys who do not know
what is best either for themselves or
for the school in whose cause they
have labored so faithfully? If they
built up such great school, as we
all believe, why is not their opinion
worth something more than the opin-
ions of politicians intent on creating
new boards and making new offices?

THE EXPRESS COMPANIES

One of the most meritorious bills in.
PRODUCED by the Iowa legislature this
winter is one by Senator Mates, OF
Sac county, declaring express com
panies common carriers and placing
them under the supervision of the rail
road commission whose duty it will
be, If the bill becomes law, TO es-
tablish maximum charges. There has
been a strong demand for legislation
of this kind, but heretofore the COM
panies have been able to shelve all
legislation looking toward the regula-
ton of their charges. 1t is hoped
that the present general assembly will
enact a law that will put this business
under proper control.

Where Reason Takes Water.

Mr.. Theodore ShOnts is practical
man, and his success has been on an
intensely practical system. 1t is not
strange, therefore, that he should have
something to say as to what ought TO
be the controlling considerations in
matrimonial alliances. He has not
ventuped to describe the kind of
woman man should marry, but he
has freely indicated the kind of man
a woman should or should not marry.
There is nothing new in this advice.
1t is old--vrry old. 1t has been proven
good, not through formal and know
ing acceptance, but through frequent
happy accidents of matrimony. But
Mr.. ShontS has yet to learn that mar
riagos of reason are irridesCcnt
dreams. He may also be unaware
that reason is not always the surest
GUIDE to happy marital existence.
