Would Be No Change.

During the presidential campaign
the question of woman suffrage was
much discussed among women pro and
con and at an afternoon tea the con-
versation turned that way between
the women guests.
"Are you woman suffragist?
asked the one who was not interested.
Indeed, am not, replied the other
most emphatically.
"Oh, that's too bad, but just suppos-
ing you were, whom would you sup
port in the present compaign?"
THE same man I've always support
ed, of course" was IT, apt reply
my husband"

The man who sells his crop at husk.
ing time will lose by it, just as he al.
ways does. The price, of late years,
has been about ten cents below the
late winter and all spring price, GER
tainly enough to wait for. The poor
man who must sell early is always the
one to bear the heaviest loss.

received frequent doses of water and
liquid manure to increase the size and
brilliancy of the flowers. No seed
pods were allowed to ripen on the
plants, as this would have shortened
the blooming season. During part OF
the remarkably long Towering period
we had only scattering bloom because
the plants were kept pruned in order
to give the best results during the
cool seasons. We gave the plants a
protection of manure and straw from
December to March.
At the end of the following Nav,
after the plants had lowered for two
months and the blossoms had begun
to run small, we removed all branches
as long as eight inches, and by June
26 the plants were again in full flower.
The next day they were picked clean
and slightly pruned, but in less than
week they were once more covered
with flowers. On July 8, during Sc.
verely hot weather, we pruned again,
taking off branches six inches or more
in length, and covering the plants
with loose hay to protect them from
the sun They sent up buds prompt
ly and continuously, but these were
nipped off in order to keep the
strength of the plants for fall bloom.
On August one plant had two dozen
buds. The following week the plants
came into full bloom, and in order to
still hold them in check until cool
weather it was necessary to prune
back once again.
The size and number of the flow
ers were as surprising as their
persistency One, picked after several
hot, dry days, was seven inches in
circumference. We had only about a
dozen plants, but they yielded thous-
ands of flowers. At the height of the

In most cases the ground is pre-
pared for willows exactly as for corn
or wheat and the work is generally
done in the fall. The sprouts are
planted at varying distances in the
rows and the rows are made 21% to
three feet apart. With the rows
planted this distance apart it is best

BULBS ARE EASILY GROWN
Timely Suggestions Regarding the
Forcing of Bulbs Either In
Water or Soil.
(EvA RYMAN-GAILoRD.)

Bulbs should be potted in fairly rich
soil that has been plilverized until
free from Jumps; be given good wa
tering: have the soil well firmed
around them, but not packed hard un-
der them, and be kept in cool, dark
place until root growth is well estab-
lished. Nothing is gained by bringing
bulbs to the light too soon, and often
the beauty of their flowers is sacri-
feed by so doing.
Leave them in their cool, dark quar-
ters until the roots show at the open

the light before the root growth is
well established means that much of
the top growth must be made from
the stored-up vitality.
Not all bulbs give as good results
when grown in water as when the soil
is used, but the Chinese sacred lilies
do If rightly treated What is meant
by rightly treated?" In the first
place examine the bulb and if there is
hard crust or scale over the base re-
move it.
Then peel off the outer layers of
brown skin and with a sharp knife
cut gashes from the top of the bulb
almost to the base and half way to
the heart.
Those who have never tried this
will feel sure they have ruined the
bulb, but they have simply put it in
such condition that the buds can
spread the layers and get out. When
the bulb is not gashed the buds that
form fail to get up through the neck
and die from compression.

PROFIT IN WILLOW INDUSTRY
Basket Making That Thrive Best
Where Not Shaded

The federal government has an ex-
pertinent farm near Arlington, Va.
where it is raising basket willows for
the purpose of distributing the cut
tings throughout the United States.
Ladysmith news-budget. [volume] (Ladysmith, Rusk County, Wis.) 1907-1927, 1909-11-25

This is not entirely new industry
but it has never received an impetus
until the government took hold of the
matter recently.
The demand for this product is
growing. There are number OF
varieties of willows, but those adapted
to. basket making thrive best where
they are not shaded. They do not
necessarily require marshy lands, but
because they need good, rich soil
and cannot tolerate shade, they are
generally found where other trees do
not exist
Rods grown on moist, rich, well
drained bottom land are more flexible.
tougher and less branchy than those
grown on undrained marshy land
These trees will thrive on land that
will produce very poor, quality OF

 D. IT. Harriman's method of directing the affairs of the 1S,0O0 miles of railways tenn and of organizing the S0.ooO men em- ployed on these lines was described Fri day night by Julius Kruttsohnitt, director of mainte nance and operation of the Har- riman lines. in an address delivered before tae New York Railroad club. The sys- tenn of control of this vast army of men, MT. Kruttschnitt said, while carried into effect as bold conception in the mind of E. H. Hartman, whose initiative in or ganization has made possible the co-ordi- nation of the many groups of railway which are today included in the Hartman system.
 Besides these rail lines the Hartman transportation system, including both the Atlantic and the Pacific steamship lines, he said, comprises 54,ooo miles of water transportation lines making a grand total of 72,0oo miles of transportation lines which are under the direction of Mir. Hartman. As Mr. Kruttschnitt put 1t Fri day evening, @ traveller start from New York and go as far as Hongkong, a distance of 1902 miles, without leaving the Hartman lines, and most of the re- turn Journey could be made travelling on still other Hartman lines, adding many thousand more miles to the total And when the Mexican lines. which are now building, are completed the Hartman lines will also extend from Seattle at the north to GuadalaJara at the south, a distance of 3169 miles.

Louisville, May s1.-Robert T. Lin coln, son of President Lincoln, was slightly stricken by the heat today to- ward De close of the ceremonies of the unveiling of his fathers statue in the emancipators native county seat of Hodgenville. Mir. Lincoln is 66 years old, and the fierce rays of the sun beat ing down upon the canvas over his head, the emotion incident to the me- morials and the fatigue of his journey almost unnerved him.
 He leaned heavily upon the arm of Henry Watterson, who spoke at the ex- ercises. and who escorted him to his car. After he had spent several Hours in his private car. MT. Lincoln was completely restored.
 His chief regret seemed to be that his illness had prevented him from talk ing the three-mile ride from Hodgen- vile to see the cabin wherein his father was born.
