FAV0RITE ROSES
BY ELIZABETH VAN eENTHUYsEN.

BY ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYsEN.
There is absolutely nothing in the
realm of esthetic culture that is so
thoroughly dominated by personal ia
vor as the selection of pet rose.
Every lover of the garden and of the
home beautiful selects a favorite rose
almost as soon as the interest of flower
culture is born.
[ have been much interested in the
seasons favorites and the reasons
given by rose enthusiasts for their
likes and dlslikes. They offer to the
student and the culturist valuable
hints in the care and selection of any
fayorite, because what one may find as
an argument for his pet blossom may
me equally true in any number of cases
and many of my readers may be able
readily to meet the claims advanced by
others and find equal merit for their
own selections.
The delicate formation, coloring and
perfume of the rose all combine to
make its study especially worth while.
Intelligent choice of a favorite often
marks the fiower-lover as gifted-and
Il selection that does not follow popular
fancy always reveals an amateur who
is not superficial. For instance, the
enthusiasts are now experimenting
with the Gruss aus Teplitz, love-
ly hybrid tea, to find out how well
1t, will stand the winter in northern
climates. Personally, 1 think that the
rose is sufficiently hardy to stand any
thing save an unusually cold zone. 1t
has the advantage, too, of being pro-
life producer of blooms. From May
until November the raiser of the pretty
tea rose is rarely without some sweet
evidence of the possession.
1t can be planted in the sunshine or
in the shade. under hanging trees or
in the open, and little severe pruning
In the early spring is about all that
the delicate rose demands. There is
something in the rose that binds the
present to the past, and one feels like
the owner of rare old bit of period
furniture when 1t forms part of the
garden.
Those who do not believe the an
cicnt adage that every rose must have
its thorns are showing much partiality
this year for the Paul Neyron. Every
month 1t produces its flowers, with the
blossoms on long stems and leaves of
a beautiful dark green. If cut when
in bud, the flowers have remarkable
lasting quality. AS / said, 1t is almost
thornless, and its flower develops near

| ly every shade of pink. 1t needs little
save proper planting in soil free from
weeds and fertllizing with old manure.
Harrison's Yellow, an Austrian brier,
is also one of the favorite flowers of
this seasons culturists. 1t is sturdy
member of the rose family, possessing
the hardness that makes such an ap-
peal to the rose lover. Harrison's
Yellow is no pampered child of luxury.
1t lust grows up" like Topsy, If it
has the least chance. The buds of
clear, pure yellow begin to show in
May. The foliage is fine and small
with pleasing green. A lazy man or
woman ought to adore the type, for it
needs practically no pruning, unless
one wishes to limit the growth. The
| flowers are put forth on wood of the
previous season, so that if pruning is
to be done at all it ought to be done
only after Towering.
The Killarney rose is also being Civ
en- a prominent place in the years
planting. Its freedom from disease
and from insects commend it to many
of the best growers, and the pink-and-
white flowers have an odor of wonder
full character. They should be set
out in the spring as soon as the danger
of frost is over. Dig hole two feet
square by two feet deep, place a few
stones at the bottom for drainage, and
then fill with good soil, mixed with
well-rotted manure.
If large roses are wanted, cut the
buds so that only few remain. Cut
ting the long stems improves the plant.
After thorough blooming. prune back
freely, and the bush will remain
healthy and will increase in size. They
require covering before the frost ap-

DEVISE MACHINE TO TEST
THE STRENGTH OF BOXES
Uncle Sans Forestry Engineers Seek
Means of Decreasing Damage to
Shipments in Transit.

Uncle Sam is endeavoring to estab-
lish g standard of strength for boxes
in order to reduce the damage caused
pieces and scattering their contents as
result of rough handling in transit.
A machine for testing the strength
of boxes has been devised by engi-
neers of the forest service and is in
use at the forest products laboratory
at Madison, Wis. The machine is the
result of experiments made to deter
mine fair test for all types of boxes.
Big losses are caused by the breakage
of boxes in transit, and all parties con-
cerned are said to be anxious to de-
termine the best kind of box.
The machine consists of hexagonal
drum with 31a foot sides, which is
lined with thin steel sheets. Pieces
of scantling bolted to the bottom form
what are known as "hazards."
In making the tests boxes filled with
cans containing water are placed in
the drum, which is then rotated. The
hazards" cause the boxes to be car
ried part way around and then

pretty fair imitation of the probable
treatment it would receive in ship

fully, and notes are taken on the man.
ner in which they give way and the
number of falls required to break them
in pieces.
The tests also show the best meth
ods of box construction. The experts
say that one of the most striking
things brought out was the made
quacy of the ordinary methods of nall
ing up boxes. The number of nails
used and the way they are put in are
important. One nail more to the side
of box will give it a great deal more
strength than might be thought. The
nails should not be driven too deep
into the wood. In many cases, 1t is
said, proper mailing will allow a reduc-
tion of the amount of lumber used
without any decrease in the value Of
the box Boxes with cleated ends were
found to be much stronger than those
without cleats.

WAR EATS UP TIMBER SUPPLY
Uncle Same Will Aid American Pro.
ducers in Obtaining Business of
World When HostiIities End.

Uncle Sam will cooperate with the
lumber manufacturers of the United
States in sending abroad corps of ex-
perts to study the condition of Euro
pean lumber markets with view to a
great expansion Of the field of the
American producer. This action was
determined upon not only in anticipa-
tion of u great demand which is ex-
oected to be created when the time for
rebuilding Europe comes, at the close
of the great war. But in order that
proper advantage may be taken by
American manufacturers of the de-
mand that it is believed will be evil
dent even before the war ends.
Reports presented at conference
between representatives of the govern
ment and of the manufacturers and
lumber organizations, showed that the
Belgian forests have been entirely de-
stroyed, that the forests of England
and Scotland have been denuded and
imported lumber will be needed for all
future building, until new forests grow
to take the place of the timber cut, for
war purposes, that Italy's supply of
timber has been used for war opera
tions, and that the greater part of the
Spanish forests have been cut and sold
to warning nations. Germany's need
is only less than the allies, it was re-
ported, in proportion to the extent to
which the German government had
foreseen the future and prepared to
meet the emergency by the holding of
great tracts as public forest. Russia
has great supplies of standing timber,
but it was declared that this will not
be available to the other allies during
the war at least, and even after peace
is declared will not be suited to the
demand, owing to its lower quality.
In view of these conditions, it was
the belief of the manufacturers and the
government experts that the American
lumber industry is destined to secure
a vast volume of foreign business DUR
ing the next few years.

THE BIGGEST GERMAN TREE

The German empire has produced
many things that have held records
for magnitude but none of them hold
more interest than the empires big
gest tree. 1t is huge linden located
on the outskirts of the village of Stat
felstein, in Bavaria. The folklore and
history of the region say that the tree
is five hundred years old.
The authorities have filled the hol-
low interior with cement to strengthen
and preserve the landmark. 1t is 80
feet in circumference.
During the Napoleonic invasion of
Germany it is related that the French
Marshal Berthier rode his horse into
the hollow of the tree and turned the
animal around there.

INDIAN is BIG CARE
Uncle Sam Spends Much Time
and Money on Wards.
Work of Handling 100000 Red Men
Owning Property Worth Hundreds
of Millions, Is No Child's Play.

A tremendous amount of time,
money and attention is spent by Uncle
| Sam upon his Indians. The official
care of more than 100000 Indians is
something more than mere child's
play, especially when it is remembered
that hundreds of millions of dollars
worth of property are owned by the
red men.
During the past three years under
the administration of Secretary Lane
more than $6S7, 900 has been collected
as tribal royalties on coal and as
phalt lands belonging to the Choctaw
and Chickasaw tribe; for the years
1913, 1914 and 1915, restrictions on
alienation of 1854 acres Of land
were removed, of which 10000 acres
were sold for the benefit of allOttees,
the amount derived from the sale be-
ing 81 1,56S,000.
For the past three years there was
collected, as royalties of individual
Indians from oil produced on restrict
ed allotted lands, the total sum of So
563 900, the highest returns being for
the year 1914, which was 81, l13,000.
OF the original area allotted to men-
bers of the Five Civilized Tribes,
amounting to over 100000 acres, re-
strictions on alienation have been re
moved by operation of law, by the
secretary of the interior, on over r.
100000 acres, leaving 3,31S,000 acres
retained by only 32,540 restricted In
dians of a total number of 10, ,521 en-
rolled members of the Five Civilized
Tribes.
Aggressive work has been carried
on during the same three years in all
other departments of the Indian Of
flee. In that time 1900 allotments
of land have been made, embracing
more than 2,2S4,000 acres; the Fort
Peck reservation in Montana has been
opened to settlement and the Colville
reservation in the state of Wash
ington has been opened, making avail
able for homestead entry 100000
acres.
There has also been the withdrawal
of lands in Arizona for the Papago
Indians; the granting of new oil and
gas leases in the Usage reservation,
Oklahoma, on the expiration of the
Foster lease, procuring as bonus
value for the tribe Sc, ,232, 900, an in
crease in royalty from 1919 per
cent to 16 % per cent and 20 per
cent on OIL and an estimated in
crease in royalty on gas from 600 to
700 per cent over the amount paid
on the old form of lease, which ex-
pired March 16, 1915.
Competency commissions have been
appointed to pass on qualifications
of Indians to individually handle
their affairs and these commissions
are at work in the Southwest, their
recommendations so far having result
ed in the fee patenting of over 1872
600 acres, thereby placing within the
taxing power of the states of Idaho,
Montana, Oregon, Nebraska, North
Dakota and South Dakota, consider
ably over two and one-half millions
of dollars worth of property.

DROP in DEATH RATE
Decrease of 10 Per Cent Shown
Within Ten Years.
Uncle Sam Estimates 10000 Lives
Were Saved in 1915 BY Progress
in Medicine and Sanitation.

Approximately 10000 lives were
saved in the United States in 1915,
Uncle Sam estimates, as a result of
the great progress made during recent
years in the sciences of medicine and
sanitation, together with the wide
spread awakening of the people
throughout the country to the impor-
tance of supporting the public health
authorities. Uncle Sans estimate is
based upon figures showing the death
rates in the various states and cities
in what is known as the registration
area of the United States.
The death rate for 1915, 1875 per
1000 population, is the lowest ever re-
corded, the most favorable year prior
to 1915 having been 1914, for which
the rate was 1875. 1t Is markedly
lower than the average rate for the
ffve-year period 1901 to 1905, which
was 1862. The decrease thus amounts
to 1851 per cent, or almost exactly one
sixth, during little more than dec
aGe. When due allowance is made for
the addition cf many new states to
the registration area between 1905
and 1915, and the comparison is con-
fined to the group of registration
states as constituted during the period
19O1-5-the present population of
which is about one-fourth of the total
for the cOuntry-there is still shown
very considerable decrease, from
15.9 to 14.3 per 1000 population, or
10.1 per cent. This decrease, on the
basis of the present, population,
would amount to 42,7S6 deaths. On
the assumption that a corresponding
reduction has taken place throughout
the entire country, this would indicate
saving of approximately 10000
lives in 1915 for the United States as
whole.
In the states for which death rates
for 1901-1905 are given, the greatest
proportional decrease between that
period and 1915 is shown for Rhode
Island, 16.9 per cent. Next in order
are New York, with n decrease of
14.6 per cent; New Jersey, 14.3 per
cent; Massachusetts, 12.7 per cent
Vermont, 9.3 per cent; Connecticut,
81 per cent; Indiana, 3.S per cent
ANc" l1aihpShlic, per Ceul, anu
Maine, 10 per cent. Michigan alone
showed slight increase, eight-tenths
of 1 per cent.
Among the cities having 100000 or
more inhabitants in 1910 the tendency
is toward a still greater reduction in
mortality. The .following-named cities
show, for 1915, decreases of 20 per
cent or more as compared with the
five-year period 1901-1905: Newark,
N. j., 29.9 per cent; Atlanta, 2S.4 per
cent; New York city, 2e.S per cent
Los Angeles, % per cent; Jersey City,
300 per cent; Pittsburgh, 23.9 per
cent; st. Louis, 22.9 per cent; Denver,
22.7 per cent; Providence, 22.3 per
cent; Paterson, 21.9 per cent; San
Francisco, 21.7 per cent; Fall River,
21.7 per cent; Louisville, 21.1 per
cent; Nashville, 20 per cent.

While the number of establish
ments engaged in the manufacture. of
electrical machinery and supplies in
the United States has decreased from
1.151 in 1909 to 1,121 In 1914, accord
ing to Uncle Sans census figures, the
value of the output increased from
$240,037, 40 in 1909 to $3.50, ,412,6 ,678 In
1914, gain Of 49.7 per cent.
