Entered at the Post Office at Belleville, as second class matter. ssociated Press News It is barely possible, young man, that some day you will called upon to realize that the end all flesh is at ore hand. You may be able to rapidly recall the various deals by which you have accumulated a fortune, you may recite to yourself the divers offices of honor and trust to which you have been elected. But remember this, gold will not heal the wound, honor will not assuage the pain caused by infidelity and disloyalty to your own ideals. It is really disgusting to hear a presumably intelligent man talk about the honesty of 2 certain political the dishonesty of another.

Knowing him to be the monstrous thief he is. No they wouldn't believe it. that is where the trouble came. You can rest assured that whenever vou get 100,000 voters together the bulk of them are honest. The leaders may be rotten but the people are all right.

We think considerable of the Kansas City Journal, but its constant henpecking at Gov. Folk shows that you can't expect much of a strong partisan paper no matter what the merits of the case' may be. A man who has fought boodlers, grafters, bribers, rings, thieves, gamblers, thugs and every manner of crook that thrives in the fertile soil of Missouri, and even made the saloon gang and race-track gamblers obey the law, ought to have the support of every paper in the state that stands for decency, even if such a man is a Democrat: so much more the credit to him for setting a new pace for his own party. We are getting so we do not have much use for a manor paper that has nothing but laudation for his own party brand and condemnation for everything that doesn't wear it. When a paper jumps onto such a man as Folk it ought to look around and see what kind of company it is -Jewell Republican.

Spring and summer -that is, cutting out the flowering sprays and misplaced and superfluous growths of shrubs such as the forsythias, ninebark, Japan quince, bridal wreath, Spiraea thunbergi, S. lanceolata and S. Van Houttei, lilacs, deutzias, diervillas and philadelphuses when they are done blooming is good cultural practice if thoroughly understands the operation. It is well understood that summer pruning has a more or less weakening effect on woody plants, so that if severe thinning of the branches should be resorted to among the last named subjects in the growing season it will certainly impair vitality. Our advice is to cut very moderately the flowering sprays that plainly impede and prevent the development of the young growths, and, if a mass of congested shoots are being projected where they are plainly thick, of too thin some them out.

The completion of the work can intelligently be prosecuted in winter and all flowering sprays, gnarled, and sprouts easel thinned out. being careful the natural outthe free and flowering. lines shrubs, Shrubs branching habits like the euonymuses, oxochordas, bush honeysuckles, buckthorns, barberries and caraganas, that do not produce large flowering sprays, require a little thinning out of the branches where they are dense and thick and where they rub and cross A HANDSOME BLACKBERRY. Of Excellent Quality and a Favorite Market Berry. Points of superiority of the Mersereau blackberry are claimed to be as a follows: Extreme hardiness, larger size and greater productiveness, less tendency to turn red after being picked than Snyder and delicious quality.

The Mersereau was named by Professor I L. MERSEREAU BLACKBERRY. HI. Bailey of Cornell university, who describes it as variety resembling Snyder and derived from it." This blackberry has been fruited since 1892 and been tested through all kinds of climatic conditions and has proved extremely hardy and unusually productive. Its large size and handsome appearance and excellent quality make it a universal favorite on all markets, selling from 2 to 3 cents per quart more than other Cultivator.

Landscape Gardeuing. To harmoniously arrange trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants and at the same time adjust them to the contour of the place, to the architecture of the buildings and to the convenience of the walks and drives, is the aim of the landscape gardener. Every successful attempt to adorn a city lot, a suburban place or a park has a valuable induence upon the community in which it is situated. It furnishes an object lesson which others will attempt to follow. CUTTINGS AND GRAFTS If you wish to succeed nothing is too much trouble.

Small fruits have a way of adapting themselves to almost every soll provided it is not too rocky, too shallow or too wet. Borders of irregular outlines around the margins of grounds should be so made as to be agreeable from every point of view. It will not usually pay to keep the strawberry bed after it has borne two good crops. Better plow It up and plant cabbage or something else. Doubtless after the rose the carnation is the most useful of flowers, its keeping qualities and the low price for which it can be bought bringing it in contact with the greatest number of people.

Black rot of the grape is difficult to control. Spray with copper sulphate or strong bordeaux before the buds open and again just before and after blossoming. In the later sprayings of the peach for leaf curl use diluted bordeaux mixture. Whale oil or common Jaundry soap dissolved in water (a pound to six to ten gallons) may be used as a contact insecticide against plant lice and 8 number of other soft insects. AND FLOWERS THE BIG GLADIOLUS.

Said to Be Largest, Best Shaped, Most Graceful and Brilliant. It is claimed for Gladiolus princeps that it is the largest, best shaped, most brilliant and most graceful gladiolus in existence. De Vilmorin, the French authority, says: Gladiolus princeps is the latest acquisition among garden bybrids of this genus. Four species have helped in its production. The honor of producing this bybrid belongs to an American, Dr.

Van Fleet of Little Silver. It is now more than twenty-five years ago since Gladiolus cruentus, originally from South Africa, was sent to William Bull by a Swiss 5 10 172 DA G. GLADIOLUS PRINCEPS. living in the Drakensberg, in Natal. But the specimens sent did badly, and M.

Max Leichtlin (from whom I obtained these details), who was the only one to have the plant in its full beauty, gave it to Dr. Van Fleet. The latter, under the propitious climate of North America, obtained excellent results with it and crossed it with G. childsii. I am sure he himself must have been astonished at the result.

The hybrid gladiolus, to which he has given th very appropriate name of princeps, is remarkable for the rich scarlet red of its flowers, by their size and by their beautiful form, surpassing any with which we are at present acquainted. The petals are very large, and their bright coloring is intensified by slight white spots, often accompanied by 2 median line of the same color on the inferior and lateral divisions. These latter are larger and not so spreading as in G. nanceianus. Gladiolus princeps does not bloom until August and September, in this respect resembling G.

cruentus-that is to say, it is at its best when other gladioli are almost or entirely passed. This is another point in its favor. On the other hand, its flowering is on continuous, and it never has more than three or four blossoms open at the same time. But what does it matter if quality compensates for quantity? Burbank's Wonders. The women of Santa Rosa and Sonoma county will most likely make a floral exhibit at the Portland exposition with the other products from Sonoma county, and it will be up for the most part of Luther Burbank's floral creations.

If enough can be secured that will stand the shipment to Portland the display will be entirely of his flowers, as the women of the city and county are anxious to show Mr. Burbank how greatly they appreciate what he has done. Mr. Burbank has promised to send his picture exhibit of many of his creations to Portland, and the ladies will endeavor to have the natural flowers there to show what can be done. Many noted people have been here to see the horticultural wizard.

Last year Burbank had more than 7.000 callers, and it is expected that this year he will have more than 10,000. There nerer was a time when more interest was taken in his wonderful -San Francisco Examiner. CHipping and Watering the Lawn. Newly established lawns should never be allowed to mature seed. Frequent clipping with the lawn mower, if not made too close, tends to stimulate the stooling of the plants rather than to interfere with their growth.

If the lawn is located in a dry section or one subject to long periods of drought it will be necessary to irrigate or sprinkle. A little water is an injury rather than a benefit. If watering is begun it should be done at night rather than during the day and sufficient water given to thoroughly wet the soil. Two Good Apples. The McIntosh Red and Lawver apples are good sized red apples and are perfectly hardy at Ottawa, being also annual, though not heavy, bearers.

The McIntosh Red apple is probably unsurpassed in quality by any apple of its season. The Lawver apple is best keeping apple yet fruited at the central experimental farm, it having been kept in good condition in an 01- dinary cellar for over a -W. T. Macoun, Canada. Coarse Grass In the Lawn.

Coarse grasses unfit for lawns sometimes start up from seeds carried by the wind, and these should be treated like any other weeds- dug out and holes filled with soil, over which the grass will soon spread.

One is to trade off the faithful old family horse to a horse trader; another, to get all the eggs possible out of an old hen and then eat her up in a July potpie, and the other to sell the old family cow for beef. Of course, we do all these things on the plea of necessity and economy.

Still, in a sentimental way it is unadulterated barbarism. The farmer of the near future will be making his own draintile, fence posts, water troughs and barn floors from cement. Cement posts are now on the market at lower prices than those of red cedar. Draintile of six inches and up is being very successfully made and used. Watering troughs of any dimensions, and Indestructible, are easily made, while cement is displacing planks for floors for the hogpens and stables.

Four years of country telephone and rural mail service have revolutionized American farm life. The improvement of the country highways is now the chief center of attraction and bids fair to do more for the country resident than either of the other things named. More men are desiring a country home than ever before. After awhile the farm automobile will still further add to the pleasure of country living..
