@r. Shanafelt who filled the Baptist
pulpit yesterday returned to Huron.
C. Schutz went to Intake Preston
this evening. He will return tomorrow.
The Rebeckahs will give a heart social

evening.
John C. Smith and L. J. Corcoran
-went north to canvass for Modern Wood
men insurance.
Ysflenry Euey and family departed for
LaCroese today where they expect to
make there home for the future.
The funeral of the late John H. Boyd
waa quite largely attended today, about
25 teams accompanying the remains
from the oountry home and joined as
they passed through the city by a large
procession of Odd Fellows. The latter
conducted the funeral rites at the grave,
Rev. W. J. Cleveland officiating at the
house.
TfvJbe legislative committee whioh has
been inspecting our Normal school re
turned to Pierre this evening well pleas
ed with their visit. They speak higlilY
of the condition of the buildings and
«verything connected therewith and feel
that the right kind of work is being done
for the good of the state. They will no
doubt make a favorable report.
^Yesterday was a spiritual harvest day
al the German Baptist church in this
city. Twenty-nine baptisms took place,
about three-fourths of them being men.
There has been no special revival effort
to any extent lately but there was a very
large attendance yesterday and under
the powerful ministrations of the Rev.
A. Tilgner, many of these were brought
to a saving knowledge of the truth. This
church organized about eight years ago
with eight members and now numbers
about ISO. $uch work is encouraging.
Considerable argument waa indulged
in last week on the occasion of Wash
ington's birthday as to whether it waa a
national holiday or not. The World al
manac and encyclopedia answers the
point aa follows: "There is po national
holiday, not even the Fourth of July.
Congress haa at various times appointed
special holidays and has recognized the
existence of certain days aa holidays, for
commercial purposes, in such legislation
is the Bankruptcy act, but there is ho
general statute on the subject. The
proclamation of the president designat
inga day of Thanksgiving only makes it
a holiday in those states whioh provide
by law for it."
•J^John Hall, who lives at the southeast
end of Lake Herman, illustrates in a
practical way how any man farming
properly can get a living in the winter
time without coming on the county for
aid. During the past four months Mr.
Hall has made his own butter and sold
from eight cows 1237.43 worth. This is
a nice product either from a bovine or a
financial standpoint and is a business
worth emulating by many of our farmers
who think there is no wealth in the soil
except it oome through wheat. Diver
sity of product in farming is the key to
•success in this county and Mr. Hall has
found the key. lie expectsj to $•*
or more cows during the summer.

It is now' generally ko6Wn thttt the
plnms grown in the eastern states and
Europe, which belongs to the species
primus domestics, have not proved
adapted to the prairie states. In south
ern Iowa and Il'inois some Damsons
Lbmbards, etc. are raised, but the veri
ties relied on for fc crop are those native
to our section of the oountry (prumus
Americana) even in the New England
states in some localities, this class of
plums are being planted as the hardiest,
healthiest and most productive known.
Several varieities of the lately introduc
ed Russian plums all of the domestica
family, termed hardy by good authorities
have been on trial here for some time,
but are not equal to our coldest winters,
and give little hope of success.
Plums must be planted in well pre
pared rich ground, and kept well culti
vated, the fruit should also be thinned
out before half grown, as some varieties
like the DeSoto most always seta more
fruit than it can properly mature. A
wind break especially on the south side
is of great benefit. But as a rule the
plum is found growing in the1 tough sod
with all the suckers allowed to grow up
and the plums thinned only when it is
trying to ripen. Fruit trees in such a
location and under such treatment have
no chance and all to show its true value.
How can we expect a tree or shrub of
any kind to live, grow and produce
large lucioua fruit in ground wholly oc
cupied by weeds aud graasea of all de
scription which never fails to drain the
soil of every particle of moisture during
the dry spells,
Cultivation is the next best thing to
irrigation. It helps the soil to retain
moisture in a degree beyond th* con
ception of anybody that has not tried
it. The web worm, often so destructive
to plums, can be easily held in check
and exterminated by sitnply removing
the web as soon aa it shows in June at
the time it hatches. The trees should be
looked over every other day. This
method ia cheaper, quicker and better
than spraying.
Below I give my experience with some
varieties of plums in 1894. My traes
have had no irrigation, only clean cul
ture. The rainfall here at this place
from the middle of May to the 13th of
August did not amount to over 2 inches.
Most of my bearing trees are ou natur
ally dry ground with no protection from
the south to speak of—not
a
Knudoon's peach, brought to notice by
H. Knudson of Brown Co., Minn., com
menced ripening August 18. The trees
carried a good crop of very sweet excel
lent dessert plums, also good for cooking
It keeps well, in size it is only medium
measuring 1 inch in diameter. The tree
is one of the hardiest and finest grown
in my ooliection.
Marble, from the same source, ripens
about with the laat, fruit of good aver
age size, about 1% inchea in diameter
the shortest way, oolor a fine mottled
red and yellow, quality sweet and good
for any use. The tree is hardy, vigor
ous and wonderfully productive. In
1803 a single tree of the Marble, 7 feet
high with a trunk in diameter near
the ground yielded 18 quarts of fine
plums.
The Rockford was ripe August 25th
Fruit hardly as ripe aa the Knudson
peach, but of tine appearance, being
dark red overspread with heavy blue
bloom. Quality excellent for any use.
Origin Floyd Co., Iowa. The tree is
hardy and very prolific, surpassing in
this respect moat other plums. The
Rockford is the only variety effected by
the fungus known as scab, but apt far
not to any serious extent.
Cheney ripens about with the Rock
ford. The small trees carried a full
crop of fruit which averaged larger than
any other native plum raised here. The
best specimens measured inches in
diameter. It ia a nearly round plum of
fine red oolor and very good for canning
and cooking. It ia free from the objec
tionable acrid taate so familar to onr
native plums. The tree ia perfectly
hardy and a fine upright grower differ
ent in habit from other plume.
The Forest Garden mature with the
Cheney. It is a sure annual bearer
of plums about the size of the Marble.
They are better eating before cooked
The tree lacks hardiness.
On September 3 we gathered all onr
plums, including De Sota, Wolf, City,
Rollingstone, and several others which
bore for the first time. The De Soto
was one of the first native plums propa
gated and sold by nursery-men, and it is
yet one of the beet, if not the beet, plums
in its season. In average seasons it
ripens about the 20th of September in
this latitude, generally being ready to
gather before frost*. This variety needs
good bare and culture to bring out ite
good pointy its greatest fault ia it sett
too much fruit I have De Sotoaj
/•a
grown in Kingsbury
very good
site for a plum orchard.
The earliest plum so far fruited is the
Iowa, brought by us from Allmakee, Co.
Iowa. Last season it was ripe August
12th. The fruit is as large and good as
the Forest Garden. The tree is very
productive and beara young. The newly
formed fruit was tojwverely thinned by
late spring frost ao it did not mature a
full crop.
eonatyt
Rollingstone is generally well liked,
aud is a little earlier than the two last
named. Here it lacks productiveness
and is of small size than the majority
of those mentioned. Cityi (one of H.
Knudson's) is the only freestone plum I
have fruited, itjwill stand with the Wolf
in size and quality. The trees are hardy
and good bearers, well worth trying.
Hawkey, NewUlm, Old Gold, Caroline,
Meadow, Black Hawk, Pennings Peach
and Wyant fruited for the first time and
can not judge of their relative value, al
though the New Ulm, Wyant and
Hawkey are very hardy and promising
in every way. In my estiwatipo th§
moet valuable early plum is one
originated in Brookings, S. D., from pita
aent out from Minnesota, it haa been
named "Odegard." It is the best extra
early plum of whioh I have any knowl
edge. I have sent small trees of this
variety to several experiment stations.
It must be remembered that all the
measurements of plums given above
were taken last season. In more favor
able years they will of course grow con
siderably larger.
PURE
and to prevent exports of gold, the
transaction has indeed greatly changed
the financial situation in spite of the
fact that government revenues are still
deficient and that domestic trade shows
scarcely any gain as yet. The indus
tries are not enlarging production, nor
have prices of farm products improved.
But a very important source of appre
hension and hindrance has, far the Hma
at least, been removed.
Wheat fell to 56 cents Saturday last
and has recovered to 57, only a quarter
below the price a week ago, while corn,
cotton and pork are unchanged, and
hogs and lard are a shade lower.
Silver Men's Ttoket.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.—A number of

greatest secrecy was maintained. Gen

league, said that they had oome together
to talk over the situation and nothing
more. A rumor has been iif circulation

The tree is perfectly hardy and bears

The Rumor That Mr. Gladstone Waa About
to "Enter the Church.**
The story about Mr. Gladstone's sup
posed intention to enter the church at
the age of 85 might be said to exhaust
the utmost capacity of credulity. Mr.
Gladstone's renewed interest in theology
has been vigorously attested since his
retirement from public life by copious
writings on abstruse points of dootriuc,
but the rumor about his "taking o-
ders" is a little too grotesque even for
the contents bills of the evening papers.
There is a certain attraction, how
ever, In the idea of Mr. Gladstone as a
curate eclipsing his vicar and overaw
ing the bishop of his diocese. To him
preferment ought to bo rapid, and ei
ther Lord Rosebery or Lord Salisbury
would be only too glad io make him
archbishop of Canterbury at the earliest
possible moment.
Having been the most tremendous
personal force in polities for 30 years,
Mr. Gladstone might easily become thi
most formidable primate B?nce the days
of Becket. Nothing is impossible to
this marvelous man, but all the samo
we do not expect him to submit him
self to 6rdinatiou.—Loudon Illustrated
