Some People
Buy advertising apace because rates are
low generally the circulation is a nitlit
loiver Circulation determines lite value
of aiXvertis ng; there in no other standard.
The Gazette is willing to abide by it.
CIRCULATION MAKES
The Paper. Without it advertisers get
nothing for their money. The Gazttte,
with one exception, has the largest circula
tion of any paper in Eastern Oregon.
Therefore it ranks hiqh as an advertising
medium.

Many second-class brands of baking powder
are urged upon consumers at the price of the
high-cost, first-class Royal.
These powders, because of the inferior quality
of their ingredients, cost much less than the

ROSES FOR PLEASURE.
A List of Hybrid I'erpetunla That Will
epuy Auiuteurs.
The amateur is often handicapped ns
to a knowledge of varieties, and a little
judicious advice from Orchard and Gar
den is therefore given in tho matter of
roses. The inexperienced, for instance,
tre frequently led astray in regard to
Uybrid lleinontants, or Hybrid Perpetu-
TIIE DINSUIORE.
als, aa they are more commonly called.
Most of this class of rosc3 may bo said
to be ban except at tho extreme
north, where they will need sonio pro
tection: but they do uot bloom all tho
time by uny means. As a rulo, nearly
all of them bloom abundantly in the
primr or early summer, and many of
them (not all) again iu the autumn with
moro or less profusion, often less. LTy-
brid lieinontauts is a niuci better desig
nation for this di ss than Hybrid Per
petual. The real perpetual bloomers
are to be found chiefly among the tea
roses. The different classes cf voses,
however, are being so mixed up by
crossing that it ij becoming didcult to
classify the results.
Following is a list of a dozen Hybrid
Remontants, which combine to a iroo.l
degree vigorous growth, abundant early
bloom, handsome flowers, fragrance
and tjnito a generous bloom in autumn:
Barouno Prevost, bright roso color, very
large and full, but somewhat flat in
form: T.ev. J. D. McCamm, carmine
rose, medium size and globular form;
Anne do Diesbach. dark rose, very large
and full; Dinstuore, scarlet crimson,
large and fall, very free: Mis. John
Laing. pale pink, large, fine form, free
and constant; Alfred Colomb, bright
carmine crimson, very large, full globu
lar form; Marie Datunan, bright carmine
crimson, large, full, line form; Pierre
Notting, darlc maroon tinged with
bright cri;son, largo, globular form,
pointed buds; Annie Wood, bright ver
milion, large, fine form: Francois
Micbolon, dark carmine rose, very large,
full globular form; Abel Urand, silvery
pink, largo, full, fine form; Marshall
P. Wilder, cherry carmine, large, full
semiglobular form. All these roses are
fragrant, many of them delicioiisly so.
The preceding twelve Hybrid Remon
tants may be increased to a "baker's
dozen" by adding that excellent all
around hybrid China rose, Magna Char

NEURALGIA.
CEDDING WITH FOLIAGE PLANTS.
A Style of Garden Adornment Suited to
City anil VUlago Lawns.
The garden shown in the accompK-iy-j:ig
cut illustrates the fine effects pro
duced with foliage of plants. This
view was photographed last August and
recently appeared in American Garden
ing, which says of it:
One ornamental bed, prominent by its
graceful curves and points, was filled
with Ccheveria secunda glaucain the
central parts, Alternanthera versicolor
for dark foliage and A. aurea nana, the
well known variety of golden hue. A
large four pointed bed was filled with
the two brilliant coleuses, Golden Bed-
CARPET DEDDINO.
der and Verschaffeltii. The other plants
toward the edges were Alleranthera ne
gro, A. paryehoides and Bantolina argy
rioa. The center plant was a good sized
specimen of Draeama brasilieusis. The
same classes of plants in very different
varieties and colors were used for the
other foliage beds.
These and other instances of fine but
unpretentious carpet bedding furnish a
style of garden adornment suited to city
lawns and plats. The neatness of the
design and the brightngss of tho colors
nsed in snch work remain with us at
the height of beauty longer and give
more pleasure for the outlay than the
same amount spent for coarse growui,'?
annuals and other plants that lock neat
ness of appearance.
Ueraniums, coleuses, etc., look well
planted around the piazza and fences.
For the small plat especially are rnnom
mended boxes filled with vines and flow
ering plantB displayed to suit the inui
vidual Uiate. Rustic tubs or vases filled
111 like manner add charms to the place.
Wistarias, honeysuckles and clematises
should be more used in beautifying the
home.
A Test with Watermelons.
In an experiment with reference to
the relative productiveness of seeds
from different parts of the watermelon
by Messrs. Newman and Clayton, agri
culturists of the Alabama station, tlie
seeds from the stem and blossom ends
produced in each case 4 M merchantable
melons per acre, while tlie seeds from
the middle produced 507 per acre, weigh-
i iug over two tons more than those from
the ends. Six-sevenths or tlie melons
from the "middle" seed were ripe Aug.
4, while only one-half of those from the
"stem end" teed were ripe Aug. 11. Tab
ulated data are given for nineteen va
rieties in IS'Jl. The greatest variation
in the ripening of theae varieties was
only six days. The seed of a number of
i varietic.i which had been kept since 1888
! f..tilu,l ti i.nrniinnU. As a coinoinulirra
variety for home use and market the
Jones melon ranks first. It is not so
good for shipping as the Kolb (Jem, but
superior in quality, iiie bugarioar
gives greatest satiaf action for home con
sumption. Of twenty-five varieties of
cantaloupes those reported as beat in
flavor are Atlantic City, (iolden Jenny,
Improved Pineapple, Netted Gem and
Netted Nutmeg.
. Tlie I'hlos Drutnmondt.
Inexpensive packets of seeds yield
flowers of various colors, that with very
little care in cultivation will repay bet
ter than most annuals. Peter Hender
son nsed to say that the plants should be
thinned to a foot apart for best results.
The phlox should be well watered in
dry weather. Any slight shading, if at
hand, will benefit newly set plants.
When established, a little good soil can
with advantage bo drawn around the
base of the stem and the leader nipped
out. thus iuducing a more robust and
branching growth than will generally
be found in annuals.

The EstrmvaBBne of Mod.
We have in the United States some
thing like 1 0.000, OOOof horses and mule
above the age of 2 years upon our farm,
and at Uie moderate estimate of twenty
five cents as the cost of feed and care of
each of these animals, we see at a glance
that the aggregate expense of maintain
ing them is about 14,000,000 per day. If
by a similarly moderate estimate we say
that they are kept in the stable in a con
dition of enforced idleness by the deep
mud of spring and fall for a period av
eraging twenty days In each year, we
may easily compute that the loss in this
respect alone will amount to $80,000,000
per year, a sum sufficient to build 10,000
miles of excellent highway.
Of course, considering the great va
riety of conditions and the consequent
number of factors to be regarded, it is
impossible by mathematical formula to
compute the loss entailed on any com
munity by the continued toleration of
these dirt roads in their present con
dition; but the error in the resnlt of any
computation is more likely to show a
loss smaller thau actually exists, and in
whatever way the matter be regarded
it is certain that with the imposed bur
den of extra help and extra draft ani
mals, loss of time, wefland trVaof
wafons. and ,haxne-, tA ' w jB-if
light loads and the deprelM'W vi '
farm lands, we are pursuing a short
sighted policy in permitting the present
system to continue. Besides the actual
loss, which a moment's reflection will
serve to show, we are gaining nothing
and saving nothing in that great depart
ment of agricultural industry to which
the condition of the dirt road is of such
marked importance. Isaac B. Potter In
Century, -
Should Insist on Good Itnarf..
How to make a good road depends on
tho locality and the materials most eas
ily and cheaply procured, but the farm
ers in each community are in duty
bound to take the matter into their own
hands by refusing to elect any one to
the position of road manager unless he
is capable, and they should not only
agitate the subject, but Insist on good
toads.
White Grapes.
The Niagara, all things considered, is
perhaps the most valuable white grape
in cultivation. Vine vigorous, healthy
and productive, of medium sized bunches
of fruit, The berries are large, pulpy
and sweet. Moore's Diamond is a pure
native. Vine vigorous and productive.
Berry about the size of Concord and
greenish white in color. Martha is of
medium quality as regards fruit; tlie
vine is hardy and vigorous. Pocklington
is a large showy grape. Lady Washing
ton requires a long season. Rebecca is
a delicious grape; vine a moderate grow
er. Empire Blate ripens with Concord;
vine vigorous, fruit tender, juicy and of
Rood quality. Duchess ripens before
Concord; medium sized berry and of ex
cellent quality. Winchell, a new grape
of promise, seems destined to become
valuable on account of earlincss, fine
quality, productiveness and vigor of the
vine.
Vera, aad Wild Flowers.
Perns and wild flowers are excellent
material for brightening shady and dingy
corners. Give them a light and well
drained soil. Many native ferns are
highly ornamental and require only a
little care in watering In the dry season,
slight protection in winter and an occa
sional light top dressing of manure.
What Horticulturists Say.
The Centennial cherry is a new and
promisiug vanety.
Snow White is a superior variety of
white gladiolus.
An announcement comes from the
West Virginia agricultural station of
the discovery of a perfectly thornless
raspberry.
