HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

The gooseberry Is closely related
to the currant.
Thin the apples and plums If too
heavily loaded.
Keep the cultivator going through
both orchard and garden.
For jelly, currants are picked about
half ripe or. when partly colored.
Raspberries are progagated by
seeds. sucker plants and tip plants.
= The currant must not be cultivated
deeply, for 1t is a shallow-rooted
plant.
Pick the pansies and nasturtiums
every day if you want to have plenty
Of bloom.
Do not plant Strawberries in a
field troubled with couch grass or
chickweed.
All plants that are intended for
winter boomers should have the bud
pinched of now.
II the seed Ia allowed to develop
on the lilac 1t generally has few
flowers. except every other year.
The strawberry is the king of small
fruits for house use and is easily
grown over a very large territory.
When buying a sprayer get one
that throws a mist spray, as no other
will get the solution uniformly dis
trfbuted over all parts of the plant.
The strawberry succeeds best in a
loamy soil that holds moisture we'll.
To succeed with Strawberries we
must spare no pains on little things.
Where orchard trees have been
heavily pruned early In the season,
many water sprouts Or suckers" VIII
be apt to: grow in tho center Of TIE

Pure-8red Colts Paw,

G2od, pure-bred colts are worth at q
very Conservative estimate at least
5000 per head as yearlings. The cost
of raising them is but little greater
than that Of raising good grade colts,
aside from the greater initial cost Of
the mares. When we take into consid.
Grafton the fact that pure-bred mares
are sold at from $500 to $500 per head,
while good grade mares are worth
from $3.50 to $3.50 per head, 1t may be
readily seen that the mature mares
will sell much closer to grade mares
than pure-bred colts will to grade
colts .Pure-bred yearlings that !
brought along in hrst-class shape very
frequently sell at from $500 to $500
per head.

FARM WORK FoR SEPTEMBER
Many Little Things to 30 Done Dur.
Ing This Month In Preparation for
the Coming Winter.

About the first thing to do is to

Give the lambs for fall market all
the good feed they can take care Of
now.
Weed out the flock. Sell of the old

POPULAR FARMER
DIED SUDDENLY.
JACOB LANZ FOUND DEAD BY SON
UPON RETURNING HOME
SATURDAY NIGHT.

Hedrick, July 31.-Upon returning
home after the chautauqua late Sat
urday night. Henry LAM, young
farmer residing southeast Of Hedrick,
found his father, Jacob LAM. lying
across the bed dead. Death apparently
had taken place some little time
previous to his arrival and supposedly
from heart failure. The suddenness
of the death and the popularity OF Mr..
LAM has made the news spread Win
rapidity and it has been received with
a shock by his large circle OF friends
and acquaintances hereabout.
Jacob LAM has resided IN this
vicinity for some time and was well
known throughout the county and a
prominent worker among the German
Lutherans of this section. He was %
years old and leaves a wife and three
sons, Charles, Henry and William, to
mourn his death. E*
Saturday afternoon he attended the
chautauqua and complained OF not
feeling well. He was alone at home
during the evening as his wife was at
the home of one of the sons who Is
married. Neighbors passing the LAM
place about 1890 Saturday night saw
Mr. LAM standing in the doorway and
this Is the last seen Of him alive.
When found by his son, he was dressed
and apparently had fallen across the
bed.
The funeral Is being held this after
noon from the family home and is be-
ing conducted by Rev. F. w. Land
deck of the German Lutheran church.
Interment is in Raben cemetery.
Coroner A. w. Slaught of Ottumwa
was called to the LAM home but did
not go, believing that no suspicious
circumstances were revealed In the
sudden death of Mr.. LAM.

The Real Article. Ridden by Genuine
COWBOYS viii be Seen With the
Wild West ard Far East.
Tot M of,e fear that there will not
he nlenty of excitement with the Wild
West and Far East when it exhibits
in this city. There will be an abundance
iof the genuine sort, and not the least
will be furnished by the roughriders
who constitute an important element
Of the entertainment. These horsemen.
drafted from the equestrian nations OF
the world. will furnish wide variety
of daring feats. ranging from the reck-
less riding Of the Russian Cossacks to
the daredevil saddle work of our own
American cowboys.
Aside from displays of general adj
aptability to a life in the saddle, the
cowboys will give a practical demon
stration Of "broncho busting" which Is
sure to arouse great enthusiasm. It
: should he remembered that the
| broncho OF to-day is direct descend
ant of the wild horse of the west which
served as the American Indians best
friend during the. time his happy hunt
ling-ground comprised what Is now a
white mans continental paradise.
What is 'bucking horse;" why
does he buck; how does he buck. and
what does the rider do are questions
which will all be answered With prac-
tical demonstrations during the forth
coming visit Of the Wild West. Az
least insofar as the aid and consent OF
the broncho can be enlisted. these
questions will be answered. Just why
a hroncho bucks may never be known,
unless the fact shall be accepted that he
objects to anybody riding him, due
probably to his membranes OF the
times when his ancestors or himself
ran wild and untrammeled upon the
prairies.
There are several varieties of buck
ing. and it seems that some OF the
hronchos invent new ideas as they go
along. The goat-buck is very popu-
lar, as we'll as the most unpleasant
stvle of bucking affected by the
broncho. In this style Of deviltry the
horse lifts himself in the air and
comes down on oil fours. feet striking
the ground stiff-legged and admins
tering by this method about twenty
iolts a minute. If this method fails
to dislodge the hateful rider, the
hroncho then starts upon the varia-
tons
He will drop his head between his
legs. arch his back into curve and do
some fancy bucking. acting on the de-
sire to throw the rider over his head.
Suddenly be will leap to the right. and
then as quickly to the left, and, TO fur
Their unbalance his burden, he is apt
to put in few sidewise twists in mid
air. Next follows combination Of
the various movements, bucks, twists,
turns and kicks dashing madly for
ward then sidewise and then up and
down. This Is about as near to writ
ten description Of the broncho's dex-
terity as ore can supply.
