Why Kentucky Women Want To

get in Tue DEI.INEATSk for November
And coincidentslly with the educational
awakening, another u bespeaks legis-
lative notice The women who gave
Kentucky its new schools want the ba%
lot. They say that it took u long time
to accomplish what they did. Next time
they would like to be in position where
they will not have to beg for what they
want. They would like the ballot 8
they can demand 1t.
When the County School District bill
was prepared it contained a clause pro-
viding for school suffrage for women.
Heroically the women submitted to its
elimination lest their insistence OH the
ballot should j-opardize the whole school
movement. Af.erward they got a speci-
al bill prepared to grant school suffrage
to women. The gallant legislators side
stepped it by getting it politely smoth.
cred in committee. This year the wom-
Ell will ask again for school suffrage.
They have All idea that Kentucky needs
them to help in the direction of it's
school affairs. Kentucky men, on the
other hand, have old fashioned notions
that women aren't qualified to vote.
Still, you see, there are those sixty-ivc
thousand male voters who can neither
read or write, and there are the five
thousand illite-ate school trustees. It's
very awkward. So Southern chivairy
usually says No to the women asking for
a vote, by urging that they ought to stay
at home and be sheltered.
Kentucky women are replying that
they've been out a good deal i'll all kinds
of weather the past few years on this
school question. They say, i'll fact, that
if only they had the ballot, it would save
them a lot Of this going out and about
and up and down the land. The state
doesn't yet seem to see the obligation.
But one would think that Kentucky
had done enough for the public
good, so that the men should hand them
OF a plate anything they ask for even
TO a bali of the kingdom through The
forbidden ballot.

Improving the Missouri.

1t is almost incredible that a great
stream like the Missouri River, run

the gres1rs. states in this Union, has
been practically idle as a highway of

Il century. while railroads parallelling
it between the chief market centers
of this state have carried the freight

profitable navigation of the broad

''1f your business is not worth adj

''you would better advertise It for
sale and get into something else"
Says Ewing Herbert: "There is
not SO very much difference in the in
telligence of people, after all. The
great-man is not SO great as folks
think, and the dun man is not quite
SO stupid as he seems. The differ
ence in our estimates of men lies in
the fact that one man is able to get
his goods into the show window
quickly and the other is not aware
that he has either show window or
goods"

w1sTAR1A MuLTIJuGA ALBA.

AS companion plant for the well
known Wistaria chincnsis no more
appropriate subject could be chosen
than Wistaria multijuga alba, while
for covering the roof of a pergola it
would be difficult to think of better
climber. Although it has not the
long infiorescences of w. multijuga,
it possesses its free-fowering peculi-
arities, and the pendulous racemes,
six inches to nine inches in length, of
white flowers are extremely beautiful.
w. multijuga is Chinese species,
and the white variety is also of Chi
nese origin. 1t can be propagated by
layers or it may be grated on to
roots of W. chinensis. The plants
may be supported by iron stakes, and
the side branches kept spurred back.
On the spurs that are formed in this
manner flowers are borne with great
freedom. Grown on a pergola, this
plant and the better known w. chin
ensis are even more beautiful than
when grown on stakes, as the racemes
can be seen from below. When, how
ever, stakes have to be employed the
great point to note is to keep the side
branches spurred back regularly so
that they do not become entangled,
which takes away the eject of the
flowers. A good method of growing
this or any other wistaria is to let it
ramble at will over a somewhat thin
headed tree, such as laburnum.
Grown in this manner it is very beau.

WINTER BLOOMING BULBS.

Last October we planted two Ro-
man hyacinths, both white, both
equally fine bulbs, one in tin quart
can, the other in an earthen pot,
glazed, holding about pint, on the
same day and in the same kind Of
soil.
Both came into bloom during the
holidays; while the one in the can is
almost a perfect specimen, the other
is about half as nice; also the one in
the can was perfect until after the
18th of January. while the other was
almost gone
Both were given the same treat
ment, kept in the dark and cool, mod
erately wet, until the sprout showed;
then gradually brought to the full
light from a west window Hereafter
the bulbs shall have the quart can
home. The longer root growth and
also larger roots. that the can al
lowed, was responsible for the finer
bloom, longer period of blossoming.
and the two bloom stalks, to a great
extent, at least, but the rust from
the tin can seems to impart extra
vigor of growth and bloom. e. c.,

EFFECT OF COLOR on GRAPES.

EFFECT OF COLOR ON GRAPES.
A most interesting experiment is
reported from France, where an att.
tempt was made to ascertain the in
fuence of color of the soil on the
growth and fruit production of
grapes. An experimental plat con-
tanning ninety-nine vines was covered
with concrete made up of lime,
water and basic Stag from one and
half to two and half inches in depth,
base of each plant to insure the
pentration of rain water. The COW
cred portion was colored, one-third
being white, one-third red and one
third black, to correspond with differ
ent types of vineyard soils. The
check plat in each case was a grayish
soil cultivated in the usual manner.
The data secured show the vine
growth to have been greatest on the
black plat and least on the white plat.
The growth started at the same time
on all of the plats, but, the growth on
the red and black plats quickly sur
passed that on the check plats. The
growth on the white plat was slower
than on the other coIored plats and
continued throughout a longer period.
Measured by the yield of fruit, how
ever, the white plat was first and the
black plat third. The white plat APP
peared to have suffered least from a
prevailing drought and the soil was
found to contain a greater moisture
