Reconstructing the House.

Whether it was the prospective
increase in it's membership or a be-
lated recognition of the eternal fit
ness of things which prompted its
action, the appropriation of a sum
sufficient to remodel the hall of the
House of Representatives at Wash
ington marks the first step in an i'm
provement in legislative methods
which should rebound to the eff
cheney of the popular branch of the
Congress. 1t will at all events re-
move, or it is to be hoped that it
will, a reproach upon the reputation
of the American people for decorum
and common sense. The view of the
House at work, as it is seen from the
galleries to-day, conveys little idea
to the average observer beyond hope
less confusion, inattention and up
roar, and the contrast between that
body and the British House of Com
mons, for example, is one often quot
ed to the grave disparagement of the
American institution.
With the reduction in the area of
the hall and the substitution of seats
for present cumbersome desks, it is
expected that the business of the
House can be conducted with some
measure of decorum and order, and
the traditions of the House as a de-
Lucrative body can be in some meas
ure restored. 1t is not to be expect
ed that a mere physical change in
its meeting hall is going to work a
revolution in the legislative methods
of body of 443 members, or that
less work will be done in committee
and more in open session of the en-
tire body, but there will be certain
definite advantages to be gained by
the contemplated changes. On the
rare occasions when there is a genu-
inc debate in the House the speakers
will have some hope of making them
selves heard The removal of the
desks will compel some measure OF
attention on the part of members to
| the proceedings of the House, and
the dispatch of business ought
| thereby to be expedited. There
should then be more genuine oratory
in the House, and it's debates should
definitely reflect the opinion and the
! desires of the nation.-[ Public Led.

THE FIRST SINGER.

We heard a bluebird singing, the
song was magic-sweet;
He swung upon the lilac, the snow
was round his feet;
The wind blew roughly DER him,
the sky was steely-gray,
But yet he perched there, singing
the chilling gloom away.
Brave traveller from the southland,
perhaps you came too soon;
For ice still binds the streamlets,
the sun is wan at noon;
The violets are sleeping close in
their earthly bed,
And not a greening blade of grass
has dared to show it's head.
But, oh, we're glad to greet you,
sweet harbinger of spring;
No sound was e'er so welcome as
your gay caroling;
Courageous little songster upon the
leafless spray,
A-singing and a-singing our weari-
ness away!

for remedial measures and host of
economic conditions which can hard

There must be more cooperation
on the part of the departments con-
cerned, principally those of educa-
tion, agriculture and forestry.
School gardens, elementary agricul-
ture, agricultural clubs, Arbor day
and so on must be gotten into the
schools. The school buildings
should be the social centers OF the
communities and, if necessary, the
government must send out social
settlement workers. Agriculture
and forestry must no longer be left
out of county and local teachers in
stitutes, nor should a consideration
of the schools and forestry be left
out of farmers institutes. There are
no forestry institutes, but lectures,
bulletins, sample paintings and all

dian products that are likely to be
sent into the United States will not
be a drop in the bucket compared
with the American production.
The Canadian agreement was neg
otiated by Republicans, and the DEM
ocrats regard it as imperfect and in
complete. The Democratic party al
ways has been close to the farmer
and has looked out for the agricul-
tural interests. When the Demo-
Gratis come into power the farmers
may rest assured that every effort
will be made to give them square
deal' not only in connection with
Canadian trade but in every feature
of the tariff. The Canadian pact is
accomplishing one good thing-it is
exposing to the Northern and West
ern farmers, who have often voted
blindly for high tariff, the fallacy of
protection" which protects" one
interest but leaves another to open
competition. With all its faults,
however, the treaty is long step in
the right direction, and no Demo-
crat can afford to oppose it.-[Balti-

so, don't try to keep 1900. Or

PRUNE NOW.


During the dormant season is the
time to prune your trees if you wish
to promote their growth" says Prof.
Surface, State zoologist of Pennsyl
vania. He further adds that the first
treatment of a tree infested with San
Jose scale, or any other serious pest,
should be to prune in accordance
with the severity of the injury. 1T
makes no difference what has caused
the damage to the tree, it should be
laid down to the general rule to
prune back the top in accordance
with the amount of injury from
which the tree has suffered. When
a tree has been attacked by scale
it is injured worse than it's outward
appearance would indicate, and the
pruning should consequently be very
severe
Among the purposes of pruning
are to get rid of superfluous limbs,
twigs and brush, to shape the top
of the tree, to open the head in order
to let in the heat, light and air, and
thus ripen perfect fruit in the inter-
ior, to bring down, or lower, the
top of the tree by cutting away the
superfluous upper stories, to prune
away all dead and dying parts, and
get rid of pests by pruning off and
burning to promote the growth in
certain desired directions by severe
cutting in others, to get rid of
branches that are too long to be
reached by the spray pump, to take
out branches that would cover 9TH
ers and thus prevent perfect spray
ing. to thin the fruit and prevent the
weakening of the tree by overbear-
ing, to insure the growth and life of
recently planted trees, and to invig-
crate feeble trees by leaving but a
few buds to be pushed into active
growth instead of many developed
but partially.
To insure best results from prun-
ing branch it should always be cut
Just above a living branch that is to
remain, and with the slope of the
cut in the same direction as the
surface of the remaining branch.
The surface of the cut stub can then
be painted with ordinary oil paint.
The best material to use is pure
white lead and raw linseed oil The
pruning can be done at any time dur
ing the dormant season or before the
buds burst. For the purpose of
economy of spraying material, and
thoroughness of work, it is imnort-
ant for the pruning to be completed
before the spraying is undertaken.
Grape vines should be pruned very
closely leaving many short stubs.
This should be done soon, or before
the sap starts to flow, but pruning
after the sap starts, causing the vines
to "bleed, is not such serious mat
ter as one would suppose. 1t really
results in no serious injury. All old
raspberry and blackberry canes
should be cut out and burned.
Gooseberry and currant stalks over
three years old should be pruned out.
The cuttings from grape, gooseber-
ries, currants, and ounce can be
planted in the ground, and used to
grow others if desired. To do this
they should be well cultivated, in
moist fertile soil.
