The company was ousted from Wash

tried to bar it here on the ground
that its assets were not in such shape

Treating Wounds Of Trees.

The Ohio station reports that two
steps in pruning wound treatment of
trees may be found necessary. One Is
the sterilization of the surface OF a
wound by the use of a torch or the
application of an antiseptic or spore
destroying substance. The other is
the application of dressings to prevent
the entrance of harmful spores or bac-
terra. One such dressing is generally
sufficient There are large number
Of effective germicides, such as cor
rosive sublimate. gasoline. kerosene,
carbolic acid. petroleum., copper sui
phate and formaldehyde. The availa =
bility of any depends largely upon the
nature Of the wound Protective
paints have usually been applied as
dressings, but. rs Il rule. these are very
ineffective. Far better are prepare
tons of asphaltum and residual tars.

TO CONGRESS LAST MONDAY MORNING

view. There will follow a period Of
expansion and new enterprise,
freshly conceived. 1t is for us to de-
termine now whether it shall be
rapid and facile and Of easy accom-
plishment.
This it cannot be unless the re-
sourceful business men who are to
deal with the new circumstances are
to have in hand and ready for use
the instrumentalities and conven-
fences of free enterprise which indie
pendent men need when acting on
their own initiative.
1t is not enough to strike the
shackles from business. The duty
of craftsmanship is not negative
merely 1t is constructive also. We
must show that we understand what
business needs and that we know
how to supply it. No man, however
casual and superficial his observation
of the conditions now prevailing in
the country can fail to see that one
of the chief things business needs
now and will need increasingly as it
gains in scope and in vigor in the
years Immediately ahead Of us. is the
proper means by which readily to
vitalize its credit, corporate and in
dividual, and its originative brains.
What will it profit us to be quit OF
one kind of monopoly If we are to
remain in the grip of another and
more effective kind? How are we
to gain and keep the confidence Of
the business community unless we
show that we know how both to aid
and to protect it? What shall We
say if we make fresh enterprise nee
essary and also make 1t very diff
cult by leaving all else except the
tariff just as we found it? The
tyrannies of business, big and little,
lie within the field of credit. We
know that Shall we not act upon
the knowledge? Do we not know
how to act upon it? If man can
not make his assets available at
pleasure. his assets of capacity and
character and Of resource, what sat-
sfaction is to him to see opportun-
ity reckoning to him on every hand,
when others have the keys of credit
in their pockets and treat them as
all but their own private posses
sions? 1t is perfectly clear that it is
our duty to supply the new banking
and currency system the country
needs. and that it will Immediately
need it more than ever.
The only question is, when shall
we supply it-now or later. after the
demands shall have become re-
preached that we were so dull and
so slow Shall we hasten to change
the tariff laws and then be laggards

WALNUT TREES CAN
NOW Be BUDDED

A new method of budding walnuts
has been developed by +. J. kraus of
the Oregon agricultural experiment
station. Buds one year old are used.
those found just below the current
years growth. Only plump buds that
have remained dormant are employed.
1t is also possible to use buds from
scion wood cut during the winter or
very early spring. when it Is in II per
fectly dormant condition. If such
scions are placed in moist sand for
couple of weeks before the budding is
done the buds may be removed quite
easily.
In making the hinge bud trans
verse incision about half an inch long
is made about one inch above the sur
face of the soil and a similar one
about three-fourths of an inch above
the other. The two are then connected
with a longitudinal incsion which
forms the completed a. cut on the
stock
The bud, which is rectangular and of
lance between the two transverse cuts
on the stock. is removed from the bud
stick by first making two transverse
cuts Of the proper distance apart to
give the correct length to the bud and
then connecting these two by longitu-
dina cuts about half an inch apart.

meal and clover hay. These steers
were purchased at $685. per hundred
pounds, and they We're sold for 1925,
but in spite Of this good spread in
value the net profit per steer was
1897. 1t cost $14,23 to make hundred
pounds Of gain on these steers, COM
putting the feed at regular market
prices. In an adjoining feed lot a
similar number Of steers We're fed the
same length Of time, but in this case
corn silage was used in place Of clover
hay. These steers were bought at the
same price-namely, $3.50 per hundred
pounds-and they sold 10 cents per
pound higher than the steers fed on
hay, or for 1885 per hundred pounds.
Their gains We're made at cost of
$0SS per hundred pounds, and the net
profit per steer in this case was $2096.
These results are worth bordering
over by those who propose to follow
along the same old fashioned route in
feeding cattle. The cheap gains in this
case We're due to the fact that a given
acreage produces larger amount of
good fattening food in the form of en-
silage than can be produced In any
other way. The man who tries to finish
cattle on dry feed alone must in the
future compete with those who take
this short cut to cheap gains. There
can be only one outcome of situation
like this-namely, that the practice Of
those who use the cheapest meat max
Ing foods will be the basis Of cost in
the future. Those who cannot bring
the cost down to this minimum point
by the use of this comparatively mex
pensive food will be eliminated from
the business or they must continue to
carry it on at loss, relying wholly for
their profit upon the effect Of feeding
operations on the productiveness of
their land AS said before. this profit
will not suffice in the case Of the aver
age man. If dry feed cannot be fed at
a profit then quit feeding dry feed. If
ensilage reduces the cost Of making
gains anywhere from 2 to 4 cents a
pound. then how is this competition to
be met by those who do not feed en-
silage?

Except in the case Of small fields I'M

little of the hay crop which goes into

CORN SILAGE PAYS WELL.
Experiments Prove Its Great Worth az
Feed For Stock.

The South Carolina experiment sta
ton recently published bulletin by
Archibald Smith giving the results OF
tests to ascertain the value of different
kinds of forage crops fed with cotton
seed meal. The main findings are or
especial value to the farmers or the
south and of great value to farmers In
any section of the country. The bulle-
tin demonstrates anew the economy
of corn silagc as beef producing feed.
In this test silage, corn slower and
cottonseed bulls were compared The
test demonstrated:
That corn silage gave by far the
best returns not only In economic pro-
duction Of beef, but also in the quality
Of beef and the shape in which it
reached the market.
That silage fed steers produced peer
from 10 to 20 per cent cheaper than the
other feeds
That silage fed beef lost less In ship
ping to market. This Is test which
some shippers have disputed in the
past. declaring silage fed beef lost Sc
verely in the shipping process.
That the silage fed group produced
gains that would warrant a value on
the silage of $3.50 per ton-this earn
ing on very poor market, as the steers
sold for only $3.50 per hundred. Had
they been sold on good market the
gain might have been increased 20 per
cent
That with a cost Of So per ton for the
production Of corn silage a fair aver
age good corn should be made to earn
from $50 to $40 per acre.

FOR GROWERS OF TOMATOES.
Stalking Is Necessary il Finish OF
Early Fruit Is a sideration.

carry FFOit 10 q SoUoioof at'oU'
Whether to stake or not to stake
tomatoes is much debated subject.
says correspondent Of Gardening
Like good many others, this one will
never be settled to the satisfaction of
all. Where it pays one man to stake
and sucker part or all OF his crop an
other would lose money by doing so.
Many experiments are misleading
because they lack the practical side.
BY this we mean the ability to take
the crop to market and bring home the
money.
We find that for the early trade it Is
absolutely necessary to stake our to-
matoes, as we cannot sell the product
from PROSTATE vines. 1t lacks the fin
ish which is so necessary for table
fruit There are other considerations.
During rainy spells the trained vine
will set fruit where the other will not,
and when it comes to picking the crop
we gain all the time and labor lost for
stalking.
To us it is more a matter how to
stake than any other. We have had
very good results by transferring the
greenhouse system outdoors. This Is
simply setting stakes about ten feet
apart and stretching wire over these
to which the vertical strings are tied
upon which the vines are hoisted. We
generally have four plants between the
stakes and use American Irvine fax.
We used to stretch bottom wire, but
found it very much In the way for box
ing, hence quit it and get along just as
we'll by simply tying the Irvine loosely
to the tomato plants near the ground.

1t is under the compulsion Of what
seems to me a clear and imperative
duty that I have a second time this
session sought the privilege Of adj

every consideration of personal con-
venience and personal comfort per-
haps in the cases of some Of us, con-
siderations of personal health even
dictate an early conclusion Of the
deliberations OF the session; but
there are occasions OF public duty
when these things which touch US
privately seem very small; when the
work to be done is so pressing and so
fraught with big consequences, that
we know that we are not at liberty
to weigh against it any point of per-
sonal sacrifice. We are now in the
presence of such an occasion. 1t is
absolutely imperative that we should
give the business men of this coun-
try a banking and currency system
by means of which they can make
use of the freedom of enterprise and
of individual initiative which we are
about to bestow upon them.
We are about to set them free; we
must not leave them without the
tools of action when they are free.
We are about to set them free by
removing the trammels of the pro-
tective tariff Ever since the civil
war they have waited for this
emancipation and for the free oppor-
tunities it will bring with it. 1t has
been reserved for us to give it to
them. Some fell in love, indeed,
with the slothful security of their
dependence upon the government;
some took advantage of the shelter
