vent to their approval by shrieks and
vociferous yells. He said he knew his
honorable opponent would attempt to
defend his party when 1t came his
turn to speak. The audience was
then and there warned that his op-
ponent was entirely ignorant of the
.subject-so ignorant that he could not
name ten out of the thousand or
islands constituting the Philippine
archipelago. Hogg repeated the as

TIPS FOR LOVER OF FLOWERS
Plant Sweet Peas In Trenches Six
Inches Deep-Chrysanthemums
Grow From Seed or Cuttings.

Plant the sweet peas early IN
trenches fully six inches deep, v
ing but lightly at first. drawing the
soil around the plants as they
up.
This will give better roots by which
to w%ithstanding the dry heat by and
by. Plant as soon as possible.
Root room In fair soil Is all the
beautiful white Day Lily asks. 1t Is

but will do with little water. A plant
for the busy housewife.
Chrysanthemums may be raised
from seeds or from cuttings and
sprouts from old roots. II the SEEDS
are sown early in boxes and trans
planted the plants will bloom the nrst
year. There may be many poor ones
from seed.
Do not forget the hardy everbloom'
ing roses when ordering. Include
some hardy Towering vines for
screens for the porches, back FENCES
and summe arbors. Prairie roses
evergreen honeysuckles, woodbines,
clematis in variety, wistarias, bitter
sweet, trumpet vine and the harmless
wood ivies are all fine.

How Governor Hogg was Once Tricked

".All this time the Republican had
been doing some quick thinking. He
did not, as a matter of fact, know the
name Of a single island in the Philip
pines, except, perhaps, Luzon, but he
was also satisfied that Jim Hogg was
no whit better informed. At that time
the conquest of the Philippines was
new and hardly anybody was enlight-
ened regarding them. Thinking this
over, our Republican orator had an in
spiration. He didn't know the names,
but neither did his challenger, and
therefore, a bluff might go. The names
Of the islands were unquestionably
Spanish. What was to hinder him
from enumerating the names Of GER
tain brands of imported cigars that
came ready to memory,
Thus it was that when his turn
came to speak he net the def of his
foe with absolute serenity. Governor
Hogg was the most astonished man in
the big audience, while he listened to
the other man rattle off, not ten, but
twenty, fine-sounding Spanish words
which were given as names of islands,
but were in reality only brands Of
cigars. Being a fair and honest cftt-
zen, when the speaker finished, the
governor arose. and, making a.courtly
bow, apologized for his mistake. I
am sorry to have misrepresented my
friend said Hogg. He has far more
knowledge of the Philippines than l
supposed, and 1 ask his pardon"

vXYASHINGTON.-A remarkable TOM
w cat belonging to Joseph Brown,
proprietor of a small merchandise
store. routed a burglar from the place
early n morning recently after a nov

himself fortunate, at that, and gives

Mr.. Brown, his wife and several chill

They retired before midnight, and about
half-past three the next morning, when
all the occupants were asleep, some
body cut several Stats out of a shutter
at the rear of the house and climbed
through the window. The cat was
downstairs and heard the noise. 1t

MULCHING FOR FRUIT VINES
Practice Prevents Growth Of Weeds,
Retains Moisture and Adds
Needed Humus to Soil.

A successful West Virginia raspber.
~ grower gives the following reasons
for mulching:
1t prevents the growth Of weeds.
It retains moisture in the soil.
It adds humus, one Of the necessary
elements.
1t keeps the fruit clean and pre-
vents mud at picking time.
1t saves labor, the cost Of mulching
an acre with forest leaves or straw
not exceeding SIS.
1t prevents deep freezing.
1t makes the fruit more solid for
cultivation and better for shipping
purposes.
1t prevents the baking of the soil
aused by tramping at picking time
1t has the disadvantage of encourag
ing mice and establishing a surface
root system. However, we have not
noticed any serious damage from eli
Their Of these effects.
The cost of growing raspberries by
natures method, as l like to call it
is not very great. Picking is a nice
job where there is no mud, no weeds
and where the canes have been prop
erly pruned. &
Don't leave any old canes standing
in the field.

Ready for YOUNG Trees.

While the stock Is coming, prepare
the ground. 1t will not be necessary
to add new soil as the trees have been
selected with reference to the kind
found where they are to be planted.
Dig very large holes and fill them In.
The trees always do better In filled
ground than they do In that which has
not been broken up. II the land is
sod, 1t would be well to pillow the en-
tire strip, as grass is a great enemy to
newly planted things. When the trees
arrive, take them at once to some
friable land near where they are to
be plante| and heel them in. Nursery
stock is often injured by being kept
too long in boxes. After the plants
are heeled in 1t will be safe to trans
plant them to permanent places any
time within a week or ten days from
the L4me of their arrival.

iNlNOTES&B

Evergreens ought to be planted as
early as possible.
The currant must not be cultivated
deeply, for 1t is a shallow-rooted plant.
When buds begin to swell the time
Is right to top-graft.
Prune sparingly and a little every
year, is the best plan.
Just as soon now as frost is out, the
ground will be ready for tree planting
It is BEST to do top grating On a
mild day, If possible, during showery
weather.
In that order for fruit trees. you
can't go wrong by putting in a few

Mrs. Clara Brown, his wife, blew a

Garden Cart and WheeIbarrow.

On an average fully one-half OF the
trees thai die the first summer could
have been saved had they been prop
erly mulched and given a little water
when needed.
Young trees planted in exposed po-
sitions, where they are liable to heavy
wind and transforms, should be staked
and the trees tied to h stakes with
a rye straw or n band. An old
sail cut into strips makes excellent
bands. To keep the roots from being
loosened, where ground is soft, place
four or five large stones on top OF the
mulch close up to the stem Of tree.
Two Of the most handy implements
on the farm for general. ~all-around
work, are the old-fashioned wheel
barrow and three-wheeled cart.

Starving Natives of Kiangsu Eat Bark

-FOUR men dead Of starvation in SIS
homes visited, only one family in
eight with any rice or grain, the rest
living on sweet potato leaves, carrot
tops and elm bark, n four months
yet to harvest-such Is the report Of
Earl H. Cressy, who was ent by the
Central China relief committee to as
certain present conditions in a portion
Of the famine area. His report in part
is as follows:
1T was thought best to Investigate
as closely as possible a limited area
which might be taken as typical, and
for this purpose the township of Lupi
was selected. 1t is SIS II north by
east from Esingkiangpu in the north
ern part of the province of Kiangsu.
The township of Lupi extends 16
Ii from north to south, is II Ii from
c-st to west. and thus contains rough
ly 25 English square miles. In it dwell
2,700 families, aggregating $4,000 indi-
viduals, so that the population is over
500 to the square mile. This sam
pie famine district contains about me
half Of one per cent. of the total area
and population TO- famine stricken
in China.
Several neighboring villages were
examined in each of two widely sepa-
rated groups, taking every house, large
or small, in all SIS homes, n there
is no reason to believe that they are
not representative of the township as
a whole. One of the local gentry, the
head man of the township, accompa-
MED me, and contributed much general
Information.
THE method followed was to as

anime every Dart of the house, look

Ground for Rose Bushes.

A heavy loan or clay and gravel
well drained, is suitable soil for rose
bushes. A trench at least three feet
deep should be dug and filed with al
ternate layers of manure and com
post and well worked up before the
roses are planted.
After the plants have become well
started they should still receive ma
nure, and this should be applied every
spring in liberal quantities.
Do not be afraid of giving you rose
bushes a soil too rich. The richer Il

PLANTING Orchards,

When planting an orchard we must
remember that it is a permanent In
vestment, and no pains in the prepare
ton of the land or reasonable expense
Of the purchase of good trees should
be spared. Never buy trees from a
travelling salesman unless he produces
credentials from a nursery that you
is all right.
