Soil Should Be Kept Porus and Dying
Flowers Removed.

By the middle Of July you should
commence the practice Of going over
the bed and borders Of our flower
garden at least twice a week, and,
in addition, as COR after q rain as the
soil can be worked, make the soil fine
and porous. This keeps the roots in
good condition and makes the so-call-
ed dust mulch" which conserves the
moisture in the soil, SO that it will
matter less. how much rain YOU get.
Every plant should be gone over as
frequently as need be and the dying
flowers removed in the case of such
f wers as are grown fer their beauty
o. the stalk. In the case of those
grown for showing in the vase. see 10
it that when they are cut there will
be root stalk enough left to stimulate
them to further bloom. This applies
to such flowers as the annual phlox,
Sweet-William. ~petunias.- and similar
ones. Gull out the flowers for the
vase in such a that the re-
manning ones will still be placed
symmetrically on the stalks.

they were not cid enough to exercise
Judgment as to money or property,
they were properly credited on the
books. 1t is interesting to note how
the boys are getting on.
For example, last yea Fred and
John. having accumulated some capt.
tai, rented an adjoining forty acres.
They used the family teams to break
the ground. paying a stipulated sum
per day for their use. They bought
seed wheat and paid for the thresh-
ing.
The two boys made a profit Of four
hundred and fifty dollars on the Ven
ture. Next year they say they will do
better. This they accomplished with
out neglecting their home duties or
their schooling.
Then Chester. the little one of six
years, decided to get some property.
He bought with his savings a couple
orphan pigs-baby pigs. That was a
year ago. Twice daily he filled his
pal from the milk separator and fed
the orphans. The pigs thrived, and
a short time ago., when his father solo
a bunch of hogs, Chester's orphans
brought fifteen dollars. Every cent
went on Chester's bank account.

There is a possibility they will be

Spain and Her Navy.

The report that Spain is to spend a
large sum OF money strengthening her
navy is commented on as follows by the
Cleveland Plain Dealer:
1t would seem that very small
navy should suffice for the nation that
has practically no non-contiguous territory
10 defend and no reason to fear aggres-
sion. Her loss OF the West Indian is
lands and of the Philippines was a Cod
send not appreciated at the time, but in
creasingly apparent since. She was max
ing expensive failure of managing her
able to concentrate money and attention
on affairs at home. One of the results
has been that Spain is today among the
very few nations of the earth, II not the
only one, that shows surplus in her
current budget
We took over those possessions. and
YET when the fact is mentioned as one
reason why We should strengthen our
navy 1t is loftily pooh-poohed by the little
Americans. Better let the Philippines and
Porto hico go. and withdraw all interest
in Cuba, than spend any money for more
ships. The more ships the stronger we
shall be, and the stronger we become on
the water the greater the liability of our
Selling some small provocation for using
our strength.
But because Spain has no distant pos
sessions TO protect is no reason why she
should not have a navy. Her home coast
line is considerable and worth watching.

Bury All Wires!

Every great storm that demoralizeS
the wire service between cities empha-
sizes the urgent Importance Of telegraph,
telephone and railroad companies pro-
ceeding without further delay to bury
their wires. The cost Of interurban con-
duits would be comparatively small as
against that Of city wire burial. The
investment would soon be repaid in
terms Of prevention Of damage and traffic
blocks. 1t is impossible today to estimate
the cost Of the broken wire lines to the
transportation. telegraph and telephone
companies. Some Of the trunk lines will
have to be entirely rebuilt The wires
are not merely snapped or blown from
their fastenings, but the poles them
selves have been wrecked beyond the
possibility Of future use. 1t may be
that the damage done by the storm of
Wednesday night will alone amount to
more than would be required to bury
every wire between, here and Baltimore
In this city one line Of poles more
than a mile in length, stretching along
New York avenue. was totally wrecked.
Some Of these poles in falling crashed
into nearby houses. Serious damage was
done. Fortunately the disaster occur
red at such an hour that nobody was
killed. Today these poles and wires lie
in tangle Of wreckage that eloquently
attests to the folly OF further dalliance
on this point. The policy of the Dis
trict OF Columbia is to complete the bur-
ial Of all wires. The street car lines.
which otherwise might have been con-
structed and maintained on the abomi-
nable basis Of overhead condncfion are
all Of the underground type. The tele-
phone wires are practically all under
ground and likewise the electric light
lines. few telegraph wires alone re-
main overhead. and these have been
smashed to an extent that carries its
own punishment to the companies main

The Capitol Stand Object Lesson.

This year the argument for changing
the date Of the inauguration comes home
to Congress with exceptional force. Here
tofore, whatever the weather on the 4th
of March. the ceremonies at the Capitol
have proceeded according to program. The
President has taken the oath Of Office on
the stand erected In front Of the east en-
trance and has stood there in the presence
OF a great multitude Of people. An Inn
mense inaugural stand was this year
erected under the direction of Congress,
exceeding in size all that have been built
in the past. The preparations for the out
door program were unusually complete
and the expense was correspondingly
heavy.
Every dollar of that expenditure was
wasted. No use whatever was made OF
the great inaugural stand or of the
balcony stands built out on the side Of
the building. The hundreds of people in
vited by Congress as its guests to witness
the proceedings from these points of van
tage were left without accommodations
and were deeply disappointed in conse-
quence.
These facts must be borne in mind when
the House and Senate meet in extra ses-
sion and the change-of-date resolution Is
offered as an urgent item of business.
The folly of continuing to hold to the
dangerous schedule of national events be-
comes clearly apparent when that great
structure in front of the Capitol Is con-
templated. After this proof that all the
plans for outdoor ceremonials may be
rendered futile and all expenditures
wholly wasted by a burst Of strenuous
early March weather. such as that which
enveloped Washington Thursday, 1t Is DIFF
ficult to believe that Congress will persist
In postponing this reform further. The
reputation Of the House of Representa-
tives as the economical branch of the ma
tional legislature should guarantee ac-
ion to prevent such a lamentable use Of
public money without results hereafter.
The Senate is already on record in favor
Of the change.

neighbors, but that may not always last.
Better provide against emergencies. The
peace societies are busy, but So Is the
old Adam in man. and the old Adam is
not easily downed. He has weathered
many storms, and will weather many
more.
And another and very important thing
is the condition Of Spain's neighbors.
stronger. Great Britain is strongest OF
all. but Germany and France are high IN
the scale. Italy ranks we'll. and Russia
is coming again. Even Turkey has ships.
Europe now is a great sea dog.
Would Spain command any attention
II she permitted her navy longer to Ian
guish? Would she have any friends In
an hour Of trouble If she had nothing
with which to help herself? If she de-
cded to carry the banner of non-resist-
ance. and entered upon a policy Of dis
armament and then non-armament, would
any European power care a button for
her? Her friendship would be about as
valuable as moonshine. and her neigh
bors would forget her, unless tempted to
take possession OF her. And what
picture that would be! Spain. once SO
powerful at sea. now in the day of the
greatest sea ornaments unknown on the
sea.
Spain needs a navy, and should build
a good one. Her sovereign is allied by
marriage to the most powerful house
in Europe. He is a young man OF en-
terprise and ambition. If as robust
physically as the German emperor he
would probably be as strenuous. He Is
proud Of his country. and she Is Of him.
He is not grieving over split milk.
What Spain lost in her contest with the
United States is gone. and he has no
thought Of recovering 1T. But much re-
mains, and that he would safeguard, and
improve for all 1t is worth. May his
reign be prosperous, and his country re-
turn to her old place Of influence among
the nations.
