Mr.. Taft is to. go on the stump.
Why? His managers have told him
that the West today is for Bryan and
will vote for him unless the tide is
turned. Suddenly the Republican
papers, which have been prating about
it being "undignifed" for presidential
candidates to go about speaking, now
think it. is the very thing. They say
''me too to everything Bryan does,

PLANTING THE PEONY.

The very best time of the year to
plant the peony is in the fall, but
when the planting has been neglected
they may be started with nearly as
successful results in the spring after
the ground has become dry enough to
work up in mellow condition. While
the ground is yet frozen it is an eX-
cellent plan to give it a covering of
well rotted manure. When the spring
thaws come and the spring rains de-
scend much Of the soluble elements
which form the manure will be car
ried into the ground. AS soon as it is
time to clear the ground of trash re-
move the remaining material and
burn it.
If the soil needs enriching, select
some we'll rotted manure that is well
pulverized and work this into the sur
face layer. A little sand also shows
beneficial results, but too much Of this
should not be added because sand con-
tains no plant food whatever, and the
more sand there Is mixed with the soil
the less number of units there Is OF
plant food. The peony Is a gross feeder
and anything that decreases the supply
Of plant food works an injury to the
plant. Simply add enough Of the sand
to insure a mellowness of the bed.
The roots should be planted deep
enough 80 the crowns will be from one
to two inches below the surface. Best
results are shown when a little coarse
litter such as finely chopped straw
free from weed seed, is thrown over
the beds or the parts of the beds
where the roots are planted. This,
however, should not be done unless
there is danger of the ground drying
out after the roots have been planted.
In sections where the ground contains
an excessive amount Of moisture the
covering will prevent drying of the
soil. --I 49,.

One agricultural writer of promi-
hence says to cut the burdock off at
the crown and pour on some kerosene
and time will do the rest This Is
without doubt effective, but the use of
little more elbow grease and the
sending of the spade through the root
about three inches below the surface
will do the business just as well with
out having to pay tribute to the kero-
sene oil trust.

One of the most successful corn
growers we know takes little stock in
thoroughbred seed corn, for in his crib
after the husking is done may be found
white and yellow as well as lots Of red
and calico ears. While this farmer
would hardly be able to get prize at
a corn show, it is a noteworthy fact
that his stand Of corn is always good
and the yield seldom below fifty-five
bushels to the acre.

First thought might lead one to sup
pose that land that was equipped with
good system of draintiling might be-.
come too dry in an especially dry time
when drainage Of any kind would seem
to be superfuous. Such, however. is
not the case, as the draining of nat
urally low piece of ground enables it
to dry off quickly after rain without
baking, which results in looser con-
dition of soil, through which the air
and moisture circulate freely q 81.

A careful examination of the heads
of clover in the fields intended for
seed purposes will indicate usually
whether it will be worth while to
make this use Of it. If the matured
heads contain on an average sixty or
seventy good seed it will be worth
while; if but seven or eight it will be
better to cut the field for hay.

A good work has been done the past
summer by DR.. T. e. Will of Washing
ton, who is secretary Of the American
Forestry association. In numerous
Chautauqua addresses in several Mis-
sissippi valley states he has laid stress
upon the wisdom of forest planting
not only because the land will give
satisfactory annual money return, but
that timber lots, acting as conservators
Of the moisture which they receive,
are definite preventive of flood dam
age in that the flow of water from
them is gradual and even, with the
possible exception Of the season of
melting snow in the spring. Dr. Will
contends that, since the railroads Of
the country are unable to cope with
and handle in a satisfactory manner
the transportation problem which they
have on their hands, the Mississippi
and Missouri rivers should be brought
to a higher state of development as
commercial waterways, and it is his
further opinion that some tributaries
Of these streams could be utilized in
the same way

Many families, largely as result of
habit, confine themselves to one or two
varieties of vegetables for their win

is this true in cities and towns where

GOOD ROADS
FOR THE SOUTH
NEW YORK SUN BELIEVES THAT
TO WORK COUNTY AND STATE
CONVICTS ON THEM is THE
ONLY SOLUTION, AND SHOULD
BE ADOPTED.

The New York Sun recently con
tanned the following regarding con-
victs and good roads in the south:
There is one thing the southern
states need, and to this conSummation
their convicts could be applied with
benefic al results all around. The
south needs good country roads. Save
in rare instances it has none. 1t is
with very rare exceptions an agricul-
tural region. Long distances intervene
and, especially in winter and early
spr ng, the roads are almost impass-
able To overcome thes conditions
VIII be the work of many years, al
though all. the convicts should be ap-
piled to ii. To keep the roads, once
constructed, in good order would fur
nish constant occupation for all the
a5le-bodied convicts. Moreover, there
is a great difference between working
for the state and being farmed out to
greedy and inSiStent contractors en-
gagged in private enterprises. In the
former case the control would be di-
rect. The cOnvicts need not be driven
to the pO mt of exhaustion. There
would be no premium on the exces-
Sive exploitation of flesh and blood,
and nothing connected with the ad-
judstment to lead to callous inhuman-
ity on the one hand or despairing sur
render ON the other Under such con-
ditionS the prisoners would enjoy
open ar, Wholesome labor without the
sting of immediate oppression, and
the attendant officials, exempted from
all pressure toward extravaganza of
action, would grow milder, more mer-
ciful and more humane. Meanwhile
the south would be Invested of a thou
sand abOminable scandals. Even or
Sanized labor could not object to the
and slowly but surely the
southern states would beg II to acquire
a system of good country roads, prac-
ticable throughout the year. Rural life
would become more tolerable, values
would increase and the whole indus
trial situation be transformed.
