SENATE MAKES PROGRESS .ON
 TARIFF
SEVERAL PARAGRAPHS PASSED WILL ASK SENATE TO FIX DAY FOR VOTING ON
 THE BILL
By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, May 2l-Despite fire, quent oratorical squalls in which sen ators "called things by their proper names," the tariff made some progress in the senate today. A number of par agraphs were passed, while in most in- stances it is understood that the senate might return to them. The house rates were retained on polished plate glass, but that paragraph will probably have some alternations when the bill is taken up in the senate proper.
 Aldrich stated that tomorrow he would ask the senate to fix a day for voting upon the bill.

Budding Fruit Trees.

At what time should trees be budded,
is a common question a nurseryman is
asked. There can only be answers given
in general way, because the date de-
pends on the growth of stocks, and
growth depends on climate In a gen
eral way it may be said budding may be
done whenever the bark can be opened
to receive the bud. This must be at
some time while the shoot is still grow
ing, for when growth of the stock
ceases the bark tightens and cannot be
lifted to receive the bud. But besides
that it has been found that, as rule,
buds take better in the later stages of
the growth than they do in the earlier
ones. Hence nurserymen prefer to bud
when they see the stocks are nearing the
end of their growth, surer "taking"
of the buds resulting from work done
then. 1t will be seen from this that no
set date for budding can be named. In
the same nursery block of stocks may
be in low situation, another in a high
er one. In this case the stock on higher
ground would be in condition for bud
ding some time before the other
AS these notes will show, budding de-
pending on the growth, the months for
the work are likely to be August and
September.
Budding of roses is not followed here
to the extent it is in England, but where
it 'is the same rules apply as for fruits.
But it should be said that English peri
odicals advise the budding of roses early
rather than late. Further, they insist
on the extraction of the little piece of
wood from the buds, something never
practiced here.
Practically all fruits are increased
mainly by budding, if we except apples.
Apples graft SO easily on roots that bud
ding them is rarely thought of.
The Florida agriculturist., 1909-10-01

It is gratifying to note the growing
sentiment being manifested throughout
the South, and especially in Florida, in
favor of better roads. The farmers
more than any other class will be bene
flied by such improvement, for with
good roads they are enabled to market
their crops more cheaply and with less
labor, to say nothing of the pleasure
they will enjoy in driving over them.
Then the making of good roads is al
most invariably followed by free mail
delivery and other convenienccs that
cannot be had without.

Why the Chaplain Ban.

A good many veterans of the civil
war remember the story OF the days
when the Rev. John Pierpont, mater
nal grandfather of j. Pierpont Morgan,
was an army chaplain-and good one
too. He was under IRE many times
and never hunked. But on one occa-
sion the Confederate fire was coming
in SO hot that the boys in blue were
falling In windrows. A mimic bali hit
the hand of the Rev John. who was In
full fuss and feather. with black beaver
hat, broadcloth froek coat and high,
choking dicky and black neckcloth In
a broiling August sun. He clapped
his handkerchief on the wound and
started for the rear on a lively run.
''Why are you running, Parson
John?s said one of the boys.
Because cannot fly, answered the
Rev. john Portland (Me.l Argus.

Solid embroidery is still trailing over
