plants you should grow. 1t Is we'll
known that Begonias are especially
suitable for culture in partial shade.
Many overlook the fact that the ma
jority of the sm~ooth-leaved varieties
that bloom abundantly, appreciate
bright sunshine for a portion of the
day. They are handsome in foliage
and flower, and are usually free from
insect pests.
The old favorite known as the Ru-
bra Begonia will produce darker
flowers and stronger growth in full
sunlight. The p~rofuse blooming Yer
mons also prefer abundant sunlight,
while the variety known as Argentia

The Gala lily is a satisfactory plant
for the window, but many amateurs
make the mistake OF keeping it grow
ing throughout the year. l receive
quite a number of letters every year
asking why their Callas do not bloom
but upon further inquiry find that
they keep them growing throughout
the year. Gala lilies need a rest
once each year and as Towering
plants in the house are most desirable
in the winter, 1t is essential that
Callas be given their rest during the
summer months. The best way to
do this is to put the Callas in a dry
celler or building, laying the pots so
in case water should accidentally
reach them, it will not penetrate
deeply into the soil Of the pot. AL
low the pot to remain six weeks or
two months. It will not hurt the
roots at all for the soil to become dust
dry. About the first of September re-
move the old soil from the tubers,
off the dead tops and repot using
a good, rich loamy soil and allow
ample drainage in the bottom. Give
plenty of water and as soon as the
new growth begins to appear set
the pots in the %sunniest location pos
sible. The Gala lily is a rank feeder
and thrives best when given plenty
of water. Many people have trouble
with Callas as house plants because
the leaves become little, spindling
and the plants never flower,
however, when given plenty of mois-
and plenty of liquid fertilizer
will grow quickly and are eX-
cellent Towering plants.
Palms enjoy either sunlight or par

The Chrysanthemum is the most
popular flowers of the autumn and

Towering varieties are made to pro-
duce gigantic blossoms by pinching
off the side buds as they appear in
the fall, leaving only one bud to
bloom on a branch. They require rich
soil and liberal watering until the
flowers are open. If allowed to wilt,
they will lose their lower leaves and
the blossoms become stunted.
Azaleas are imported from Holland
with the Towering buds already
formed. They require an abundance
OF water at all times but need very
little heat. BY moving them into a
warm temperature they may be
brought into bloom at any desired
time in the winter. After the flowers
are open, keep them cool and they
will last several months. Their large
double and semi-double flowers in
various shades of red, pink, varigated
and white literally V the bushes.
Among other dependable window
plants are the various primroses,
Cinerarias and Cyclamen. For sum-
mer blooming it is best to plant the
seeds of Begonias, G%loxineus, COleus,
double Petunias and Geraniums dur
ing January so that the young plants
will be the right size for transplant
ing. Chinese primroses, Fuschias and
Carnations for winter blooming should
be planted in February or March.
Cineraria seed should be sown in May.
The seed of Cyclamen for winter
blooming should be sown as early
as January in order to obtain thrifty
plants the following winter. There
are a number of rare plants for sum-
mer blooming which you usually OBJ
tain from the florist, may be raised
from seed with a little extra care
such as Asters, single Petunia, Tin
mia, early Cosmos, Pansies and
Phloxs.
The ANIMALS I have mentioned are
SO easily grown there is no reason
why any person cannot have them.
The seed should be planted in the
house the middle of March or first of
April in boxes. The soil should be
especially prepared by mixing one
third soil, one half leaf mould and one
third sharp sand. After mixing
thoroughly sift into boxes or trays
about fifteen inches long and four in
ches deep, in which holes have been
bored for drainage. Procure the best
seeds ~obtainable and after leveling
and settling the soil, scatter them
evenly and thinly ver the surface.
Cover the seeds slightly with soil and
then sprinkle.
Coming to the territory of Dakota
in the spring of 1880, from a fruit
district in Eastern Canada, l settled
on a homestead in the southern part
of Brookings county. Treeless and
bare as this part of South Dakota
was at that time, l made up my mind
that if apples and p1ums could be
raised here I was going to do it or
at least try it, so l laid out the place
where l expected to build about 80
rods from each corner so that we
could have trees On both sides. Then
| broke the prairie which was a light
sandy loan with pure sand subsoil.
l consider this soil a good one for
growing trees on account of the loose
of the soil enabling the roots to
penetrate more deeply than in a clay
soil, at least l found it to be an ideal
soil in my case.
In the spring of 1882, 1 planted
quite a number Of such trees as were

HORTICULTURALISTS IN
GREAT MEETING
Continued from first page.)

Senator ArneSOn was snOW-DOunu
for some days, but arrived the last
day in time to address the Society.
Emil Sahler of Waseca, Mimi, dele
gate from the Minnesota society, gave
an address and a practical demon
stration of tree-pruning.
f. D. Cowles of Vermillion, for
many years, librarian of the Society,
brought with him the collection OF
apples from this state that took sec
ond prize at the Interstate Apple
show at Sioux City. The states OF
Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota and
Nebraska competed at the show. Mr..
Cowles is an effective speaker and is
called on frequently on the spur of
the moment when needed to round
out a discussion.
The dry farming phase of horticul-
ture was presented by J. G. Jeffries
of Stanley county in an interesting
talk. Mr.. Jeffries while here arranged
for tests of Prof. Hansen's Russian
and Siberian alfalfas.
Thos. w. Hobert of Sioux Falls, was
the special lecturer on market gard
ening. Mr.. Hobart has plenty of
original ideas and has had years of
experience in the work.
Prof. Hansen attempted to enter
tain all of the visiting delegates at
dinner but did not get anywhere near
around. He had ten or twelve as his
guests each day and the fortunate
ones enjoyed to the fullest the we'll
known hospitality of the Hansen
home.
One OF the resolutions that is sus-
pected had something of a barb in it
was the commentator of the state
board of agriculture for keeping all
fakirs out of Horticultural Hall at the
state fair grounds"
Several of the State college faculty
members gave excellent addresses be-
fore the Society.
Prof. Hansen in one of his talks
presented reports from a great many
people from different parts of the
Northwest who have had favorable
experience with the new fruits origin
ated at the college. He also display
ed a picture Of the "Opate" plum sent
him from Kenmare, n. d. The photo
showed a branch loaded down with
the fruit.
The Society in its resolutions thank
ed Landlord Conklin of the Leon for
excellent treatment.
X. Borgondien of Holland, gave an
excellent address or landscape gard
II. c. Warner OF Mitchell, one of the
members of the Society, was
made an honorary life member.
Fred S~toltenberg, the college florist,
had an unusually fine display Of
flowers. The display called forth
many compliments from the visitors.
The Society perfected a plan where
by they hope to send out in a few
packages of one hundred seeds
Of the new alfalfas.

We have selected two papers for
publication in the Register this week,
and We are only sorry that we are not
able to present them all. Both of
these are by Brookings people, F. c.
Stoltenberg and j.. H. Biggar. Mr..
Stoltenberg, who is florist at the col
lege, writes of Home Flowers All the
Year." and is should be of especial
interest to the ladies. Mr.. Biggar's
subject is "My Experience in Farm
Orcharding." Mr.. Stoltenberg's paper
Is as follows:
The are Of house plants should
properly begin in the spring at the
time the old plants are put into sum-
mer quarters or new one are started
from cuttings or seeds. Plants of
vigorous constitution that will keep
healthy under many adverse circum-
stances are the ones to choose for
indoor cultivation. Many people are
inclined to think that Geraniums can
be depended upon for brilliant and
constant bloom under all circum-
stances, however, this is a mistake,
though there are few plants that
flourish more satisfactorily, with as
little care as the Geranium. They
must have the proper culture from the
start. II We wish our house plants
to do well in winter WI must, as far
as possible, duplicate summer condi-
tions. This does not mean, however,
that We must give them a summer
atmosphere. for it is a mistake to give
plants a much higher temperature
than they require.
One Of the first things we should
learn Is to supply an even tempera-
ture, c%ongenial to the class Of plants
we would cultivate. Failure often
results from trying to grow to many
different varieties in the same de-
gree of heat. You can not grow sue
cessfully, Begonias and Violets In the
same temperature; the latter requires
ten or fifteen degrees more heat than
the former. Plants suitable for the
window garden win grow in Q night

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local apprcauIuus, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There Is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caus-
ed by an infiamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when 1t is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out
OF ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but an infiamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case OF Deafness (causs
ed by catarrh) that cannot be cured
by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for
circulars, free.

Death Caused by StranguIation, Says
Doctor-Witness Saw Struggle.

Goshen. n. Y, Nov. 2l.-Tempered
with the mildness and merriment of

have made out the strongest possible
case of circumstantial evidence against
the accused.

This testimony followed a demon
stration by John Minturn, storekeeper.
of Sterling Forest, who told how he
saw Gibson struggling with the SZabo
woman in the boat on the day the wo
|
scribed in some detail what he saw on
the day.
Minturn's narrative evidently upset
the defendant and his wife. Both were
very pale, and Gibson twisted his fin
gers and rubbed his hands nervously.
When he put his hand to his face the
wife took hold of his fingers and pulled
it down, looking into his eyes. Then
she turned to Attorney Elder and
watched his grueling cross examina-
ton.
DR.. Kings testimony was next In i'm

The motive for the murder was es-
tablished by Mr.. Wassergoyel by show
