CARING FOR THE ROSES
BY sBEN z. REXFORD.


Shower, spray, dip wash, scrub; do
any and all these things to keep down
the insect enemies. Don't let bugs
pasture on your plants.
There are several methods of pro-
tecting roses at the north. One is to
draw the bush together into as small
space as possible, and wind it with
straw.
This is very good method when
the work is well done, but, unfortu-
nately, few persons are able to do it
well, therefore / advise that it be
not done by an amateur.
One objection that can be urged
against it, even when the work is done
TO perfection, is that the straw is like
ly to attract the attention of mice, and
IL they make 1t their nesting place.
they are pretty sure to gnaw all the
bark off thu bushes.
All thirps considered, laying the
plants down fiat on the ground and
covering them with dry earth or leaves
seem to be the best ard safest plan
for the amateur to follow. 1t is GER
tainiy the easiest one.
The bushes should not be laid down
until the cold weather seems likely
to set in. have known great injury
done by covering them too early in
the season.
II the bushes are old, and have stiff
canes, it will be difficult matter to
bend them fiat without breaking, or,
at least, cracking them. To facilitate
this part of the work, and make it
possible to do it safely, would advise
digging out some of the soil on the
side of the plant toward which it is
to be bent This will allow you to tip
the bush over without making any
abrupt bends in it.
Such large growing varieties as
the climbers, like Queen of the Prairie,
Baltimore Belle, and the RambleIs,
with canes half an inch or more
through, cannot be handled with safe
ty. slight bend makes fracture in
them. and this 1t is advisable to avoid
These sorts | would make into as
compact bundles as possible, leaving
them in an upright position, and either
wind with straw or protect with corn
stalks.
Tea roses and the Bengal and Chi
nese varieties, comprising the so-called
ever-blooming class, can be wintered
out of doors, at the north, if given the
very best of protection, but nine times
out of ten they fail us. These l would
take UP, and pack in boxes of earth,
precisely as the farmer heels in" late
purchased fruit trees.
Then set them in the cellar where
the temperature is so low that growth
will not be encouraged Here they
can generally be safely wintered.
Keep them quite dry. Generally they
will not need watering after going into
cold storage. If the place in which
you put them is dark, all the better.
Take no chances in fighting insects.

PLANTING OF TREES

Before planting a plan is necessary.
Have some idea of the result you hope
to achieve. and stick to that idea.
1t is a mistake to plant too thickly,
as rank-growing shrubs have to be cut
out next season. 1t is better to plant
small. well-grown nursery specimens
in the places where large trees are
permanently desired than to try to
plant full-sized trees. Some trees can
be successfully transplanted if they
have been properly prepared by root
pruning. But it is the work of spe-
cialists, not for the amateur.
Evergreens ought always to be
PLANTED around a permanent home.

Eleven employees of the National City Bank of New York left that city on the 9th for De Janeiro to establish the second South Ameri- can branch of the National City Bank. Permission for such estab- lishment was given by the Federal Reserve Bank. The two major reasons why the great and growing trade of South America has here tofore been handled by European countries has been due to the sat isfactory financial arrangements between the two continents, and the merchant marine of the old na- tions. Now we are getting lined up on the financial arrangements. we need only the shipping facilities to be a strong bidder for South American commerce.

and yet he lost no time.
 Starch him for weepins!" A second man stopped forward and passed his hand over the man in the chair, but found nothing.
 What does this mean, Bill?" asked the landlord finding his voice at last.
 "Waal, this ere is Tenderfoot Char. lie," was the reply, "the feller that killed Abe Shotwell over at St. Claire last week.
 Sure of it?"
 "Sartin sure.'
 And what are you goin' to do with him?"
 Hang him to limb! The boys will be we're purity quick"
 The man in the chair lowered his hands and searched for a match to light his pipe. All looked at him, but he hadn't a word to say. He smoked and looked around in a careless way, and finally Bill remarked:
 Hey yo' nuthin' to say. Charlie?"
 "Nuthin'. 'cept thar won't be any hangin',' was the answer
 But you bet thar will be! There's the boys with the rope! Stranger, thar's goin' to be leetle exhibishun out on the squar', and it's free to all. Cum along, prisoner. and If ye try any tricks on me it'll be death by shoot in'!"

 NOW, then, hey you any remarks to make before the bar'l is kicked away?"

 Time and Method of Seeding. Sudan grass may be sowed in April, May or June, either broadcast or in rows of 21a to 3 feet apart. Broad cast seeding requires Is to 20 pounds per acre. while row planting requires only two to four pounds per acre Pre- pare land as for any other crops and have ground smooth and as level as possible. Peas or soy beans may be mixed with sudan grass to make hay.
 Yield and Quality.
 The yield of this grass Is high. Nearly five tons per acre have been obtained where conditions favored, and it rarely ever falls as low as one ton per acre of cured hay. Analyses have not yet been made or. at least reported. but 1t has proved palatable and probably has about the same feed ing value as Johnson grass or a little better as 1t is more leafy.

A majority of the Senate favor the Ship Bill, but the minority" who are the tools of the wealthy corpo- rations are filibustering against the bill, thus preventing it coming to a vote. The country demands a change in those rules so that the Senate can limit debate, and thus become a business body, instead of an old fogy club. It should follow the lead of the Arkansas State Senate when it wanted to pass the Racing Bill and limit debates to ten minutes.

POISON FOR THE CUT WORM
Expert Gives Formulae Found Effect
 i've in Destroying the Pest.

Cut worms are the stout-bodied, soft brown, black or gray cater pillars which come out early in the spring and eat off the plants just at or near the surface of the ground They will attack any kind of plants.
 Control.
 Fall breaking is of great importance, cleaning up the fence rows and weedy fields where they are spending the winter, is another thing which ought to be looked to at this very time These insects are largely to be con. trolled by preventive measures. Where they come out and attack the crop in the spring of the year there can be poison bait made according to this formulae:
 Wheat bran. 20 pounds.
 Paris green, l pound
 Syrup, 2 quarts.
 Orange or lemons, B.
 Water, gallons and one-half.
 Mix the Paris green and bran to gether quite thoroughly while they are still dry, dissolve the syrup in the wa ter. squeeze the juice of the lemons oi organes in this solution. and then chop up the rinds and pulp, and add 1t to the sweetened juice Now mix the poison bran and the solution to gether and the material will be ready to use
 This poison bait is scattered out along the fence row or the edge of a weedy field from which cut worms

 Rains are an agency for the spread of infectious diseases. They wash polluted material into wells, contami- hating water used for household pur- poses. Continued loss of fiocks and herds is often due to carelessness in disposing of the dead animals. All such material should be burned at once, as 1t not only kills the infec- tion. but prevents spread of dis ease.
 A furnace for burning the carcasses of small animals, such as hogs, chick ems and others, can be constructed very easily with brick or stone. For burning larger animals two ditches should be dug in the shape of cross, so the fire will always have sufficient draught. Much difficulty is often ex. perienced in burning large carcasses because the fuel is placed around and over the carcass, when 1t should be placed directly under it.

During the course of year it is usually necessary to dispose of many dead animals on the average farm
 Especially is this true on poultry and stock farm. There is always more or less loss among poultry and hogs, and an occasional loss among cattle and horses, besides trimmings and offals from birds and animals that are being dressed for table use
 Many times this material is simply removed some distance from the buildings and there allowed to decay. If the material contains anything of an infectious nature, such as tuber- culosis, hog cholera. chicken cholera
