The Congressional Record shows
that members of Congress, having in
charge claims of veterans of the
Civil War, are fully mindful of their
duty to the men who wore the blue;
and as a result, a great volume of

of the Record is filed with the titles
of bills to grant pensions and in

the family are evidently not due to
any bad habits or vices on the part

the entire subject as soon as the

and in Rhode Island the percentage
of mortality is likewise high. Duluth,
Minnesota, shows 29% of deaths

ADOPT HANSEN'S HYBRiDS.

At the annual meeting of the Min

just closed at Minneapolis, three of
the new Hybrid plums originated by
Prof. y. Z. Hansen of the State Col
lese were placed on the list of fruits
recommended for trial in all parts of
Minnesota. Last ear the sunbeam
raspberry, also originated by Profess
Sor Hansen, was placed on the list of
~respberries recommended for plant
ing in Minnesota. The three hybrid
plums placed on the fruit list are
Hanska, Opata and Sapa. The Han

native plum with the Chinese apricot,

ted the superiority in flavor of this
variety to the California plumb in
the market at that time, owing to it's
remarkable aroma and excellent quail
ity derived from the Chinese apricot.
The trees are hardy and bear early.
Opata and Sapa were developed from
native sand cherry of South Dakota
a favorite fruit of the Sioux Indians
along the Cheyenne river and other
parts of the state, and are remarkable
for early bearing-one year trees hav-
ing borne in many places in Mime
sofa and Dakotas the year after plant
ing. The sire of the Opata is the
Gold plum, a large yellow Japanese
plum. and that of the Sapa Is the
Sultan, a purple fleshed Japanese
plum. The Sapa is remarkable for
the rich purple JUICE and flesh which
it inherits from its Japanese ancestor.
The Sunbeam Raspberry was derived
from the wild raspberry of Cavalier
County, N. d., being crossed with the
Skaters Colossal, a large purple red
variety from New York. 1t Is a note
worthy achievement to get four va
rieties on the recommended fruit list
in two years, as no variety is put on
the recommended fruit list of the
Minnesota State Horticultural Society
until 1t has yielded satisfactory crops
in many parts of the state.
