INCOME TAX REVIVING

One of their organs remarks with

Let the People Buy Bonds
A New York bank president is quoted
-as saying that the government could
readily obtain from the great financial
interests of the country all the funds
it needed if bonds were issued This is
true no doubt But the biggest finan
cial interests of this continent are the
interests of the masses of American
citizens who create the wealth of the
nation They are the ones who should
lirst be considered if bonds are put on
the market If these Government se
curities backed by the superb credit
of the United States are excellent iri
vestments for the bankers they are
equally good investments for the wage
earners and the farmers It is the peo

Taxation to Make Up Deficit
Whether we have war or peace with
Spain we shall have to pay the cost of
trotting ready for Avar and suggestions
for internal taxes are heard here and
there But it is misleading in the pres
ent condition of the national income to
call these proposed taxes war taxes
Why should not the ruling political par
ty in Congress face the fact that its rev
enue laws do not bring in enough iu
come to meet the expenditures of the
Government on a peace footing There
should be no humbug about increasing
taxation because of making war or
- making ready for war What the treas

THngleyism produces whether for war
or for peace Boston Tost

Varieties of Potatoes for Seed
The Walking Horse
We hear a great deal about the run
foot- for stcVjk Dairymen have less la
I bor to perform in spring and cummer
i as the cows can be put on pasture and
consequently feed themselves Never
theless there are many points from
which the matter of producing milk
and butter at the lowest cost may be
viewed Every dairyman should first
know the characteristics of the cows
in the herd With the aid of the scales
he should be able to estimate the
amount of food consumed by each in
dividual and by the use of the milk
tester he can keep himself informed of
what each cow is doing Unless he uses
ning horse and nearly as much abouithese precautious he Avill be opera tin
the trotting horse but very little about
the walking horse The first two are
valuable in their way but neither o
them is as much needed in this coun
try as the last A slow walking team
makes work drag iu spite of every ef
fort of the driver Farm work must
be done Avith the horses at a walk and
a slight difference in the rate at which
the team gets over ground makes a
great difference in the amount of work
accomplished
The great trouble with most farm
teams is that they are allowed to get
into the habit of dragging along at the
rate of about two miles an hour even
when going unloaded and this habit
becomes fixed and impossible to rem
edy for the farm horse that gets in the
notion of going slowly will poke along
in spite of any urging that may be
used There is much farm work that
is very light on the team Cultivation
is not heavy work and drawing a mow
ing machine does not call for more
than a small fraction of the power a
horse may exert without injury Haul
ing loads to market is not heavy work
when the roads are good and all these
kinds of work should be done with the
team walking at a rate that would keep
a man on a comfortable dog trot all the
time
The fast walking horse is made in
breaking the colt He usually wants
to go too fast and is held down until
he comes to believe that his gait is to
be a dragging walk If the colt is
trained to walk up briskly but not
trot if he is never allowed to trot uu
til he Is thoroughly trained to walk is
fast as he can without trotting there
will be no trouble about his walking
in after life When the colt that is be
ing trained begins to lag touch him
geutly with the whip to let him know
that he must move up a little more
briskly but do not strike him bawl
enough to hurt and excite him Make
him keep on walking as fast as he can
and the habit will soon become a fixed
one and his value will be increased
Farmers Voice
Green Crops
Farmers should give some attention
to green crops whether they use the
entire pasture or not Green crops af
ford a large variety and cost less than
any other foods giving large amounts
of forage and assisting in keeping the
land in good condition Rye crimson
clover red clover cow peas green
corn rape and oats are all suitable for
producing green food in abundance
and as rye and crimson clover give a
supply in the spring before grass has
made growth of any consequence they
should always be in the line of rotation
Oats and peas broadcasted together
may be seeded now if the ground is not
frozen and they will give a larger
amount of green food on the acre than
can be secured from three or four
times that area of pasture and the
forage may be cut off and given to the
animals at the barn When the green
food is no longer suitable for cutting
sheep may be turned on the remainder
and will find a fair proportion of food
Later cow peas may be sown and
they will leave the land in better con
dition than before It is not too soon
to sow Essex rape and as many farm
ers have not given it a trial those who
will make the experiment with rape as
green forage will not fail to give it a
place on the farm hereafter It can be
cut or eaten off several times during
the year and yields enormously sheep
being very fond of it while cattle and
hogs also relish it highly Philadelphia

How to Grow Celery
Dr S B Partridge of East Bloom
field N J is raising celery on a large
scale on the bed of a reclaimed swamp
He set 125000 plants last year of the
dwarf Golden Self Blanching and pro
duces from 1500 to 1800 dozen branch
es of celery per acre marketable at
from 20 cents to 30 cents per dozen
His celery kept for winter market is
placed in trenches made by means of
a crib 1G feet long and 14 inches wide
which is placed in the row and filled
with celery Then a deep bank of earth
is thrown up on either side to the top
of the celery after which the crib is
taken up and moved forward its length
and the same process is repeated The
trenches are left open at the top until
the approach of cold weather when
they are covered with straw and earth
New England Farmer
Selecting Potato Seed
In choosing varieties of potatoes for
spring planting it is advisable to select
those that have been recently produced
from seed provided of course that
their quality and productiveness have
been tested and are generally known
The variety that is newly produced
from seed is generally more vigorous
then than it is likely to be after a few
years contest with potato bugs and the
blight and rots which all help to de
crease potato vigor and produetiveness
But it is not advisable to plant pota
toes however good which are very un
like standard sorts and whose good
qualities are not generally known
There is so much difference in potatoes
that the mere fact that a potato is a
potato is not enough with most con
sumers to secure a market for it until
fter they have given it a trial
The Food of Dairy Cattle
With the advent of the growing sea
eon begins a lessening of the cost of
in the dark There is a wide difference
in the capacity of cows even when of
the same breed and this difference
may be suchas to cause a loss from one
cow while the other gives a profit In
a herd of from twenty to forty cows
there may be some excellent animals
and the entire herd may give a profit
yet among them may be some that en
tail a loss and at the- same time in
crease the cost for labor In a recent
test at the Pennsylvania Experiment
Station it was found that a cow in a
herd that produced 295 pounds of but
ter in a year only gave a profit of 30
while another cow that produced only
270 pounds in the same period gave a
profit of G0 The capacity of one cow
was to digesit and assimilate the food
better than the other The profit was
not in the quantity of butter produced
but in the reduction of the cost
Straw as Mutch
In grain growing localities farmers
have a cheap supply of excellent mulch
in the straw of the grain crops they
raise In most cases no better use can
be found for this than to use it as a
mulch for trees set recently If the
ground is plowed the soil under the
tree should be covered with at least
enough straw to keep the surface from
becoming compact By keeping the
surface soil loose and friable air is en
abled to enter it and this is absolutely
necessary to give vigorous growth to
the roots Quite often in planting trees
deep holes are dug iifto the subsoil
and earth without any vegetable mat
ter Is thrown to the surface Some
mulch around the tree so far as the
subsoil extends will prevent it from
becoming hardened and excluding air
Food for Young Chicks
It is useless to attempt to raise young
chicles on corn meal dough as such
food is mot sufficient Very young
chicks should be fed three times a dajr
and millet seed should be scattered so
as to induce them to exercise in seek
ing the seeds An excellent food for
young chicks is bread made of the fol
lowing substances Sifted ground oats
1 pound corn meal 1 pound bran
pound middlings pound ground
meat 1 pound ground clover 1 pound
salt 2 ounces bread soda 1 ounce The
bread should be crumbled given dry
and on clean boards allowing no food
to remain as it will become sour if un
eaten
The Cream Separator
Recent German trials indicate that
the separator removes from milk and
cream not only the dirt and slime which
pass through the strainer but the great
er portion of bacteria As cows are
usually cared for and handled there is
always some dirt and dandruff from
the cows ndder gets into the milk This
cannot always be caught in a strainer
but if any passes through it is included
with the slime which remains in the
separator bowl The German trials in
dicate that most of the bacteria remain
with it
Grape Vine Fertilizing
Grape vines usually need very little
manure other than mineral and that
chiefly potash In European coun
tries it is the habit of vineyardists to
burn the primings each year and apply
the ashes No other fertilizer is used
In fact stable manures are objected
to as they make the vines grow rank
and the fruit Avill lack the flavor that
belongs to fruits whose vines are only
manured with the ashes Much of the
excellence of French wines is possibly
due to this sparing use of manure
Productiveness of Strawberries
As many as 10000 quarts of straw
berries have been grown on an acre A
plot 50 feet square will produce over
GOO quarts in the same proportion It
is not every grower who receives 5000
quarts per acre but a garden plot can
be made to give larger proportionate
yield than a field
Hints to Beekeepers
Adjusting boards should be used in
hives of all weak stocks
Colonies having defective queens are
always the foundation of trouble
Colonies selected for breeding should
contain a good supply of drone comb
Little wooden troughs holding about
a pint of sirup are good for feeding
bees
The supply of drones depends entire
ly on the amount of drone comb fur
nished
Colonies selected for breeders should
be pushed by early feeding to their ut
most limit
Do not feed in the morning as it
tends to cause robbing and to make the
bees restless
It is just as necessary to select for
the production of drones as for the pro
duction of queens
Pollen is always stored in or near the
brood nest and here is the place where
the bees will cluster
Bees are not apt to attach comb to
cloth so cloth divisions between
frames serve as a guide
Queen cells should never be retained
in any colony except one that is in a
natural healthy condition
Be sure that the entrances to the
hives are kept open The bees want
good fresh air o breathe
Confine each colony to only as many
combs as the bees can conveniently
cover giving more combs as needed

Something About Roads
A correspondent writes the Indiana
Farmer from Bicknell that State in
these words
While at the Worlds Fair in the
Transportation Building I noticed a
section of some foreign corduroy road
that was claimed to have been built
some years before Christ The cost of
building stone roads in many parts of
the State is bound to be large owing
to the lack of suitable material in
places Some of our people here think
that we have plenty of material in our
limestone hills to construct good stone
roads Others think it would be cheap
er to bring it by rail from the north and
east Be this as it may to build good
roads in this county will cost a good
deal Some think it would be best to
make a loan of long standiug and let
posterity help pay the debt In my opin
ion if some of the other callings would
pay as much taxes in proportion as the
farmers do the surplus would go a long
way toward making good roads I do
not think there are many farmers that
are willing to have their taxes enlarged
very much at this time
Doubtless there are more people here
interested at this time about dirt roads
than any other kind That our roads
have been abused is a fact known to
everyone As a general rule it appears
that our road supervisors sole object is
to splash over his work and receive
his ill gotten gain And on the other
hand the men that go on the road to
work are too apt to be watching the
sun and asking what time it is They
dont work like they do at home What
is the result The roads are washing
away bridges have broken through
culverts are filled fences thrown down
and people compelled to drive around
bad places
What is to be done In the first place
in certain places there are more roads
than men to work them I think the
law exempting men from work on the
roads on account of age or disability
if they possess property is not fair
Men usually use the roads more after
the age of 50 than they do while young
er because they are often worth more
and have more produce to haul and of
ten possess saw mills wheat thrashers
and other valuable property If not able
to work let them hire Who would think
of exempting one from taxation on ac
count of age or disability
Are the roads not as important as the
taxes
Where is the country that lias no
roads Take the roads from our coun
trj and the streets of our cities will
grow up with briars Farmers ought
not receive pay for cleaning their fence
corners next to the roads If the land
belongs to the road let the supervisor
work it and the briars will not grow
If it belongs to the farmer let him clean
them without pay Perhaps supervis
ors should receive more pay and then
be held strictly responsible for the
work they do They should make week
ly trips along the roads take out ob
structions turn water from roads fix
up bridges culverts etc
THE KAFFIR WHEN OFF DUTY
South African Mine Laborers Lead a
Monotonous Life
Life on a South African mining prop
erty can hardly be monotonous The
report of a traveler fresh from the cape
gives a curious insight into one phase
of labor on the Rand It used to be the
custom of the Kaffir on receiving his
salary usually 5 per week to salJj
forth and invest all his earnings in bot
tles of brand j He would theu return
to his hut squat down and drink it like
beer until he succumbed This went
on regularly among the mining staffs
of all the large companies until in or
der to prevent a weekly cessation of
labor the companies adopted the meth
od of inclosing all their native em
ployes inside a compound and spur
ting them in like prisoners until their
lime of service has elapsed
Visitors to the compounds often take
ir a pound or so of the native coarse to
bacco for a handful of which the
Kaffirs under stress of their depriva
tion of tobacco as well as liquor will
often gladly exchange fine old native
bracelets and knobkerries The native
method of smoking is peculiar Aftee
the pipe is filled several long pulls are
taken and the smoke swallowed The
bowl is then taken off the stem is in
serted in a bowl of water and the
water is sucked through it and swal
lowed also Then comes the tug of
war The man who can hold out long
est without coughing is considered a
hero After a short time the smoker
will convulsively cough for fifteen or
twenty minutes and one can quite un
derstand why the Kaffir is not allowed
out to buy tobacco In the case of the
traveler who gives these details the
mine manager asked him to cease bar
tering the vile stuff for native trinkets
otherwise the whole relay would be
unfit to go down when their time came
The Kaffir usually returns home after
six months or a year at the mines and
is considered a rich man He buys two
or more wives and takes his ease while
they do all the work Pittsburg Dis

Good Thing to Lose lonr Job
Many men who have fair salaried po
sitions are contented to thus go through
life having no higner hopes and alms
than simply to do their work well and
never expect to be anything more than
a clerk all their lives They thus be
come dwarfed in their mental capabili
ties and If they live to be old their ser
vices gradually become less and less
valuable to their employers Had some
men of this stamp lort their positions
early in life the struggle that they
would have lieen forced to make would
have tended to develop what was best
in them
Many of the most successful business
men of to day would not have achieved
their present financial positions had
they always remained clerks Had
they had their choice perhaps they
would always have been clerks but
many of them lost their situations ami
this very fact was the door which open
ed up the way to starting a business of
their own So should these words catch
the eye of any young man recently dis
charged let him take fresh hope and
courage and resolve to do something
for himself If he is made of the right
kind of stuff and is contented to start in
a small way and be satisfied with
slender wages for himself for a few
years his chances for whining a com
petency are good To such a man al
though the loss of his situation at lirst
seemed a misfortune in the end it will
prove one of the greatest benefits that
