Street Ethics In Chlcaao.

A law has been enacted in Prussia
which makes it prison offense for
any one to fail to answer a cry for
help or to go to the rescue of per
son in danger when it is possible to
do so without endangering ones own
life. Such a law would not be amiss
in Chicago. Not only ethics, but or
binary decency and manliness are too
frequently forgotten here. Let thug
assault a person in the street and the
majority of men who happen along,
instead of going to the assistance of
the person assaulted, will scurry away
so as not to be dragged into the affair
Let a person be injured by a street
car half the people who witnessed the
accident will refuse to give their
names to be called upon as witnesses
by the victim.
Whether all the ethics of citizenship
can be enforced effectively through
laws and ordinances may be doubted,
yet the legal declaration of some pri-
mary duties would help to develop a
conscience in such matters now appar-
emily sadly lacking.-Chicago Tribune

ESSENTIALS IN
ROSE PLANTING
First Point of Importance Is Soil
Observation-Disclosures Should
Be Added.
CBv w r. CELEBRITY


The planting Of roses can hardly be
undertaken at a better period of the
year than now.
The first question is the soil, and
here the rose is really very accommo-
dating. There are few soils in which
Roses will not grow. The ideal rose
soil is a yellow clayey loan of silky
texture Heavy clay soils are i'm
proved by the addition Of road grit,
leaf mold, old potting soil, burnt earth,
and horse manure Light soils should
have pig or COW manure added also
clay or heavy loan. The latter should
not be added in large Jumps, but in a

In preparing the soil dig or trench

ing manure with the lower spit None
should be mixed with the upper soil
as the roots do not want to be in con
tact with the manure when planted A
mulch car be added on top when
planting is finished. When single
trees are being planted, as, say, stand
ards in round beds on the lawn edge,
a site four feet across should be pre-
pared as above. Where quite insult
able soil exists, eXcavate it and re-
place with heavy loamy material.
The actual operation of planting
consists of making a hole in the pre-
pared ground is inches square, and
about inches deep. Carefully spread
out the rose roots, covering them
quickly with a little fine soil, and
spread the upper ones thereon. Do
not crowd the roots together for want
of space. Make the hole of ample
size to take the roots laid out fiat
Give the stem a gentle shake to set
tie the soil between the roots, then
cover with more soil, nd gently tread,
adding more soil. to make all level and

Mixed Stock Earn,in0

AS rule, on the average farm at
least, it will be better to have a few
cattle, some horses, a score of swine
and small flock of sheep, than to have
the same amount of money invested
in either cattle or hogs alone. There
is greater safety in such distribution
of capital inasmuch as the different
kinds of stock subsist somewhat on
different kinds of food, and If on ac-
count of drouth or for some other
reason one kind of food fails, others
may be made available to carry
through in good condition at least one
or more Of the classes of animals kept.

Hay Should Not Sunbur,

The feeding value, as well as the
market value, and palatability of hav
is lowered by being sunburned. The
feeding value is probably hurt most
by the loss of leaves. Sunburned
clover and alfalfa lose a large part of
the leaves in handling, and this is the
best part of the crop.
When the sun is shining very
brightly the alfalfa or grass should
not be left in the swath long. A large
part Of the curing should be done in
the windrow and the cock Most of
the hay is then shaded and so the
damaging effect of intense sunshine is
reduced to the exposed portion. And
stock cover will still further lessen
the injury from the sun as well as
from rain.
