THE GARDEN

BY Ferdinand Wiener

June, the month of the splendor
Of the rose, the peony, and the iris
Is here again. Irises are earlier this
year, week or two, with me at
least. More kinds have begun to
open their regal blooms at the
same time. Some will be more flori-
ferrous than last year, but the
stalks will not be quite so tall with
most varieties. Last year there was
a nice rain just before the plants
began to bloom, which probably ac-
counts for the full height the flow
err stalks grew the preceding year.
Varieties that opened the past
few days are: Walhalla, Katherine
Fryer, Sherwin-Wright, Dejah,
Germanica, Princess Victoria
Louise (taller this season., Nine.
Chereau, Rose Unique, Prospero
Lohengrin, Princess Royal Mauve,
Eduard Michel, Queen Of May,
Mongolica, and L. A. Williamson,
which blooms for me the first time
this year A very fine iris.
Other varieties which are OPEN
ing now, or will soon do so, for the
first time for me, are Wyomissing,
Darius, Dazet, Isoline, Arnois,
Pare de Neiully, Caprice, Fairy,
Mother of Pearl, Annie Laurie,
Roseway, Eldorado, and Shekinah.
These were bought late last sum-
mer and planted in September. OF
course, the stalks and flowers on
some of these will not reach nor
NAL size, but one has the SatiSfac-
ton of seeing what they will look
like. L. A. Williamson has large
flowers on quite tall stalks, so it is
doing nicely for the first season.
Many other varieties will also be
open soon, and perhaps a few may
not bloom at all, on account of the
many divisions that were taken
from the plants last season.
Iris for best results, should be
planted a few weeks after bloom
ing. In this way, they establish
themselves more solidly for the
next season. If one expects any
bloom from divisions this year,
planting must be done not much
later than the first part of Aug
ust. OF course, once in while
they will surprise one, even with
late planting.
Everyone is invited to come and
see the irises while they are in
bloom.

Questions Pertaining To
Agriculture and Home
Problems Confronting Farmers and
H0memakers Answered BY
University Farm

Can sweet potatoes be grown In
Minnesota?
Sweet potatoes can be raised
fairly successfully as home gar
den crop. However, due to the diff
ficulties involved they are grown
only to a very limited extent as Il
commercial crop. The season here
is usually rather short for them to
make the best development. If
grown here they should be planted
on a light, sandy, fairly fertile loan
and on a south or southeast slope
to give as long growing season
as possible.-A. e. Hutchins, Divi-
sion of Horticulture.
Since moving to our present farm
March 1, our chickens have kept
getting sick with sores on the eyes,
wattles, mouth and some times In
the windpipe. Can you tell us how
to cure them. We have 500 4-weeks
old chicks that we are keeping
away from the old flock. Is there
danger that the chicks will take
this disease?
Undoubtedly your chickens have
roup which Is rather common and
very serious disease among poul-
try. There is no cure for roup. The
best thing is prevention. Under
separate cover, / am sending you
Minnesota Special Bulletin 154 on
poultry diseases in which you will
find fairly complete information.
Young chicks do not "catch" this
disease as readily as full-grown
birds, but there is some danger of
their becoming infected.-C. P.
Fitch, Division of Veterinary Medi-
cine.
If I should plant rhubarb seeds,
would my plants come true to var
iety?
The chances are that many types
of plants showing considerable var
iation would be obtained although
a fairly large number of plants diff
fer only slightly from the variety
might possibly be selected out Of
such a population. Since rhubarb
is propagated almost entirely by
division of the crown, very little
attempt has been made to purify
varieties so that they might be
grown from seeds. Practically all
varieties break up when grown in
that manner.-A e. Hutchins, Div.
ision of Horticulture.
Can parsnip seed left over from
my last years planting be used
this year?
The use of such seed would not
he advisable. Parsnip, leek, onions,
and satisfy seed lose their vitality
rapidly ana it is advisable with
these crops to purchase new seed
each year.-A. E. Hutchins, Divis-
ion of Horticulture.
One of our horses has a wire cut
on the side of its foot. The cut
healed, but afterwards q growth
appeared which has become quite
large, is very unsightly, and has a
decided odor. We have not been
able to help this with alum or blue
vitriol. Can you suggest a treat
ment?
The growth from the wire cut IS
known as a fibroma, often called
granulation tissue. The only cure
Is surgical removal by competent
veterinarian. Unless such tumors
are taken care of rather early, they
will grow and make the animal en-
tirely useless. Therefore, you should
not delay having the operation per-
formed if the horse is worth it

Medicine.

The Sank Centre StOclzade
BY John Whitson

This Stoohade was erected by the
pioneer settlers, in August, 1862 for
the defense against the Sioux In
dams. It was located at the corner
of Birth and Seventh. The United
States soldiers were stationed in
this stocade until the close of the
Civil war. From this stockade the
Government sent engineers into
western Minnesota and the Dako-
tas, mapping out town sites.
Stage coaches also operated out
of the stockada on regular sched-
ules. It was necessary that armed
guards accompany the stage coach
due to the hostile Indians. These
stage coaches were drawn by six
horses. Change of horses was made
about every fifty miles. Govern
ment mail was also carried on the
stage. 1t took about three days to
go to Fargo, where as now days
mail may be carried from here to
Fargo in a little more than one
hours time.
The late Jim Hill laid steel rails
first from st. Paul to st. Cloud,
and about a year later extended
the line from st. Cloud to Sank
Centre. The next spring the line
pushed on west eventually supple
menting the stage coach. Much
could be written of the history of
the stockade and the hardy pion-
GERS working from this point that
opened up the vast country to the
west of us.
Many thrilling encounters with
the Red Men by the soldiers from
the stockade are of deep interest to
students of history of Minnesota.
r. was these pioneers and soldiers
who have made it possible for us
today to enjoy the privileges Of our
generation.

Pike Rapids
E1aopor CopLo1y


Five or six miles down the Mis-
sissippi River from Little Falls is
a marker called Pike Rapids. This
spot is the place where Zeberlon
Pike, an American explorer and
soldier, crossed the Mississippi Ri
yer and camped on its banks while
going on the Pike expedition.
On the 9th Of August, 1905, he
started with twenty men to explore
the headwaters of the Mississippi.
At the Falls of st. Anthony he
bought a tract nine miles square
for a fort. He continued up the
river going through what is now
called Little Falls. He stopped not
more than six miles down the Mis-
sissippi from here where he made
his camp site, later called Pike
Rapids.
He spent some time here estab-
fishing his camp, then started
again on his journey after leaving
seven men to look after the camp.
He reached Leach Lake which he
supposed was the source of the
Mississippi River. He did not re-
main but later returned to st. Louis
on April Both, the following year.
When we were living in Little
Falls we would often drive down to
Pike Rapids and have picnic.
There we could see the fire place
used by Pike himself. There was al
so a bed of flint rocks which are
not native to the surrounding
country. It was assumed that they
were brought to the spot by Pike
and the Indians from further away
fol- making arrow heads.
A few years ago the large Blan-
chard Dam was built few miles
down the river from Pixies camp.
The lake thus formed above the
dam has now completely submerg-
ed the sight of Pixies camp but a
marker has been erected on dry
land to indicate the spot.

that point. To him should be cred
tied the establishment of the lum-
Der business in Minnesota. He was
a wealthy man who could have
been weather., but for his gifts to
his state. He gave much Of his
land to the State University and
was a member of its board of re-
gents for years. In later years he
promoted public enterprises on a
large scale. Untimely death stopped
short further advancement Of his
undertakings.
These four men all coming here
young, with a future before them
saw this wild region organized into
a territory; helped to form the
state and saw that state grow until
the close of the century.

We do not know the whole
story of Edwards abdication yet.
So much has been guessed and re-
ported for fact that until the
smoke clears it is hardly safe to
say he gave up his throne for love
alone. Perhaps he never really
wanted to be king? At least, the
loss will not break him as it might
had he, like Bonaparte, carved out
an empire with his own hands. AS
a private citizen, Mr.. Windsor Cor
whatever name he selects) will be
target for all the social and
petty cranks that hound the ia
nous. His very presence, as a
man in history, will dramatic
whatever he does. AS the man
who wouldn't be- king, he will find
it difficult to conceal himself

from the public eye. But, for
Edward, life will begin, in a new
sense, at 40 He has, 'tlike the
wild elephant, broken through the
creepers," and whether his motive
is love, or freedom, or sacrifice,
he has made his own choice and we
know that it required more
strength of will than is possible in
a shirk OR a coward.

Today indicates a socialistic
temperament, and literary ac-
tivity. The disposition is inclin-
ed to be jealous and dissatisfied ;
the affections insecure, and very
liable to be given to the wrong
person who will not return them.
Do not allow the iron of disap-
pointment to enter the soul, but
turn the abilities to the improve
ment OF the social conditions of
others.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 23.-Italian is
cues slumped in the bond market to-
day for losses of point or more, while
Trench loans gained.
Selling of Italian obligations was
said in banking circles to have been
profit taking following last weeks swift
run-up. A background for the liquida-
ton, they said, was the statement of
the British foreign secretary that the
government will not recognize Italy's
annexation of Ethiopia.
Losers were Italian public utility
credit rs, Italian Is, Milan 6ll2s and
Rome 6l2s. Italian credit consortium
IS dropped about points on small
volume.
On the apparent lessening of tension
over the French political and financial
situation and the Bank of France dis
count rate cut, French issues gained
about Q to points.
Allis Chalmers As ran up more than
a point, but lost their gain under late
pressure. Gould Coupler IS were up
more than point.
Rail liens were mixed with fractional
gains and losses about evenly divided.
United States Governments were mar
row and mixed.
