to show little interest in party lines In

scratching is reported every where.
The fight against Cannon was one OF
the most interesting features in the
congressional fight. Though Cannon,
himself, not defeated the fight had an
influence in other states. Many can
G.dates were pledged against Cannon.
Many others We're fought because they
would not declare against him for

 Us Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys filter the blood They work night and day. WheH healthy they remove about 500 grains ot impure matter daily, when unhealthy some part of this impure matter is left in the blood. This brings on many diseases and symptoms-pain in the back, headache, nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout, gravel, disorders of the eyesight and hearing, dizziness. irregulars heart, debility, drowsiness. dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc. Bue if you keep the filters right you wih have no trouble. +1

When the Bowers are in bloom their effect may be noted. and the change to be wrought by new plants may be accurately cal. culated. That is the time to get out notebook and catalogue, figure out what your flower beds and shrubbery borders lack and decide what may best supply that lack.
 If a pink Towering shrub is needed at a certain point, make note of it ia your book: better still, stick up little stake in the exact spot where the shrub would look best, marking on the stake the specifications. whether the plan; should be tall or low growing, the sea son of towering, etc. Then when you order your shrubbery for fall planting your nurseryman can fill your specif- cations, and when the plant comes you will know the exact place to plant 1t.
 In grouping your plants take pains to make them fit in with the neighbor- ing architecture. The texture of the foliage, the color of the flowers, sea- son of bloom and the rapidity of growth should all be considered care fully. Do not plant shrubs so close together when they are young that when they attain a few years growth they will be crowded.

DWARF APPLES.
They Will Be Grown on Account of
 Their Convenienee.

lncy Wlli DC SToWn on ACCount or
 Their Convenience.
 c. T. Powell of Columbia county, N. T., has been conducting some interest ing experiments on the value of dwarf apple trees in business orchards. It is the idea of MT. Powell that trees of a low habit of growth will be required more and more because of the need of convenience for spraying and harvest ing. The scale insects make 1t almos; impossible to thoroughly treat larg, trees. and the cost of labor makes q! saving at harvesting time of great i'm. portance.
 Two styles of dwarf trees are under trial. The so called Paradise is very dwarf and Is short lived. The Doucin stock is half dwarf, making trees six teen to eighteen feet high. and prom ises good results in commercial or charding. The trees are planted tive or three inches below the union oI stock and top. In MT. Powelrs or chard the trees of Paradise stock are set as filters between those of the lar ger dwarf kind. The rows in the or chard are twenty feet apart and the trees ten in row. The wide spaces between the rows allow plenty of room for cultivation by horsepower, while the trees in the rows will be thinned out as soon as they become crowded. The dwarf trees give fruit in few years from planting. and the amount gradually increases. The small dwarf kind lasts six to eight years and the semidwarfs for about twenty years. For dwarf trees the Spitzenberg, Jona- than and Mcintosh are found success full. They produce fruit of very fine appearance and quality, suitable for packing fin boxes for the choicest trade. For the half dwarfs the Northern Spy. Roxbury Russet, Twenty Ounce. Astra- khan, Baldwin and Greening are satis- factory. .sE ...
 The dwarf trees must receive good culture, with plenty of plant food and careful cultivation. The soil is plowed and narrowed in the spring and Is kept in a cover crop of clover during the summer. Scale and other insects are easily treated in the dwarf orchards. The idea appears so promising to Mir. Powell that he Is pruning his larger trees on the dwarf plan, cutting back the tops of the standard trees in order to cause them to spread out and to re. move the high parts of the tree, which make so much difficulty In spraying old trees,
