HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

prune of all dead or weak
branches. Thin out the roots to let
the sun In.
Fruit trees are slow.growing plants
and therefore do not need Quick.acting
fertilizers as a rule.
It is Just as necessary to have the
soil In a state OF high fertility for tree
planting as It is for corn planting.
Tho following formula for grating
wax 10 recommended: resin. four
parts by weight: beeswax. two parts:

Don't neglect the strawberry patch

Run a little light wire fence around
the orchard, particularly the plum or
chard, and turn the chickens in: they
will destroy thousands Of insects.
When planting. never let the roots
get dry by leaving them In the sun or

tricts was scarcely noticeable. The
total vote was the heaviest In years.

Roosevelt carried Pennsylvania by
plurality of about $1,000. Taft was a

based on returns from the city Of
Philadelphia, but when the outside
towns were heard from 1t was seen
that Roosevelt was booming along at
rate that would wipe out completely
what advantage the vote Of the Qua
ker city was giving the president.
Iowa has moved over into the Dem
ocratic column. Wilson will carry the
state by safe margin. The early re-
turns indicated victory for Roose-
welt, but the complete figures wiped
out his plurality)and gave the states

New York.-A Democratic landslide.
That tells the story Of Tuesdays cleo
ton. Wilson and Marshall won a
sweeping victory and carried with
them the state, congressional and leg
islative tickets in many Of the states.
Col. Theodore Roosevelt and the
Progressive ticket ran second and
President William Howard Taft land
ed in third place in the presidential
race.
Wilson carried practically all but ten
states. Four and possibly five of these
go to Taft and the rest to Roosevelt.
The colonel came out ahead in Penn
sylvania with margin Of about 49,
900, and the SO electoral votes of that
state will be cast for him. Illinois con-
tributed its 29 votes by a plurality of
approximately 1000. Michigan, Iowa
and Vermont are also in the Roosevelt
column. ..,r
Wilson's Triumph.
Wilson's victory in New York state
was most complete. His plurality may
exceed 100000. Taft had slight lead
over Roosevelt on the total vote. Sui
ger, the Democratic candidate for gov
ernor, ran close to Wilson and carried
with him the entire state ticket.

Some Interesting Results.


The fights in some of the districts
represented by legislators just men
toned were hot and fierce. Represent
alive Payne, for instance, was OPP
posed in the new Thirty-sixth district
by r. C. Drummond, Democrat, and
Wilson NJ. Gould, Progressive. 1t was
one Of the liveliest political scrim-
images the experienced Auburn legis-
lator ever enjoyed. Mr.. Payne is one
of the old-timers in the house, having
served, with the single exception OF
the Fiftieth congress, during all SEES
sions since the Forty-eighth. or nearly
thirty years. He has been prominent
in Republican national conventions
every four years since 1892. Mr.. Payne
was member of the American-British
joint high commission in 1899.
Mr.. Cannon's battle was given him
principally through the hard work Of
his Democratic opponent. Frank T.
OHair, who tried to turn the Eigh-
teenth Illinois district topsy-turvy. Mr..
O'TIair had the able assistance Of E..
F. Royce, Progressive candidate.
Another feature of the COMPRESSION
al elections was the return to the
house of Richmond P. Hobson, Sixth
Alabama, who helped sink the coaler
Merrimac in Santiago harbor, and thus
blockaded the port. Mr.. Hobson, ex-
cepting the tour Of the country which
was so sweetly punctuated by girlish
smacks on lip and cheek. has attract
ed more attention since the Merrimac
Incident by his continuous pessimism
relative to an impending war with
Japan. In the house he always has
been handing out solemn warnings Of
the yellow peril.
In the Tenth Indiana district 1t was
another story. Here Edgar D. Crum-
packer was fought to a standstill by
John B. Peterson, Democrat, and John
O. Bowers, Progressive. Mr.. Crum-
packer was the only Republican mem
Der of the Indiana delegation in the
Sixty-second congress. Beginning in
the Fifty-ffth congress, he had served
continuously for 16 years. He had
been considered for many years as
one of the strong men Of the lower
body at the national capital. ~
