Another Complaint.


he complaints OF British agri-
culturists against the injurious
effect upon their class interests ex-
ercised by the importation Of
American products have recently
found an echo in Germany, where
the farmers find it impossible to
sustain competition with the arti-
cles of food exported from the
United States, notwithstanding the
cost Of transportation. In comse-
Qnence. a clamor i being raised
for protection" But inasmuch aS
a cheap foreign food supply Is felt
as benefit by many classes, while
II is an injury to but one, 1t i
rot probable that further protective
measures will be resorted to. In
England such a remedy is no
longer dreamed of, though the
dread Of American competition has
become greatly intensified. The
Marquis of l.ansdowne, addressing
a meeting of Lancashire farmers a
few nights ago, said that probably
the best remedy for the evil
would be found in a division "f
the present large estates into small
farms. The English farmers, he
thosght. should become an inde-
pendent body, making use of every
scientific and practical aid to in
crease the product of the soil.
This was the only way to contend
successfully against American
competition. The panic among
the agriculturists in regard to ex-
ports from this country is not con-
fined to England and Germany.
It has spread all over the con
tjnent.

Laziness

I.aZiness is an adherent defect
in some mems natures, while in
others ii Is cultivated evil-a
sort of moral disease. We have
known men of industrious habits
in their earlier years, who in after
life have yielded their manhood to
the debasing desire for ease and
rest. ere the battle OF life had pro
duced any result to justify. them
in quitting the pursuits of honest
toll. Those from whom fortune
has withheld her bounties, have nc
good right to claim the comforts( y
of idleness; and he is no less than
a coward, who lays aside the
weapons placed in his hands by
circumstances-the god, the power,
that makes and enforces condi-
tions Of life TO all. If the good
we desire is beyond reach, waste
not the streRgth Of noble manhood
in attempts to grasp the impossi-
ble. Those who listen To the
mythical allurements of great
things craved, yet beyend reach,
and ever growing more distant
when craved and sought for IA
idleness, rob themselves of those
solid comforts which I'LL the soul
of the earnest, working, patient
one, with daily, hourly comforts,
and glide the paths of life with
pleasures, bearing the contented
calmly, softly, sweetly, down
through all the rugged happenings
Of life, To that quiet rep"se and
rest, whose shadows bring terror
and sorrow 10 those who have
quilted the surcr, if less cnchant-
ING, for the more fansciEating and
faneiful. The energy 10 do all
that life, circumstances. and con-
ditions require, Is noble and worthy:
TO do less Is the work OF Incidence.

The MOrmsn Question /.

EDITOR ASToEIAN:
In the San Francisco Bulletin a
few weeks since, it was somewhat
surprising to see an article over the
signature of ex- Senator Sergeant, of
California; admitting that the polyg
amous principle or dogma of the
Mormon church was i'm its Orig-
inal creed. That ii was a matter
Of conscience and not legally to he
dealt with under the constitution.
I'm the New Northwest of Janu-
ary Doth, Mrs. Duniway has open
ed her columns for an article from
a man called Bishop l.unt, on the
genuine bible arguments in favor
of polygamous system.
When such men as ex-senator
Sergeant, and such an editor As
Mrs. Duniway will allow their pens
and papers TO be occupied, or m
other words prostituted, in the
interests Of men calling themselves
religious sect, and quoting scrip
ture as the father of lies did when
he offered the kingdom of the
world to the redeemer of mankind
If he would worship him, then it is
time for some one Ia refer al least
to the origin of the imposters.
History informs US that many such
have appeared during the past
ages.
Allow me to say that gold, silver
and all precious stones or diamonds
are constantly being counterfeited
and bought and kept by the ignor-
ant as genuine. 1t is the same
with this latter day humbug which
came into existence ia the state of
New York between the wears OF
1920 aud 1929, at time when il
was supposed there was an unus-
ual revival OF religious fanaticism.
Many persons had, as they sup
posed, reached sinless perfection,
and claimed that the ealth was the
Lords. They were his saints and
had a perfect right to whatever
grew upon the Lords earth or
land. They became a band oI
thieves, apparently, without any
conscience as To their neighbors
property. and were compelled tC
fee from New York state 10 the
western part OF Missouri. where
the theiving principle was superior
to all moral and political consider
ations. From Missouri they were
driven TO Nanvoo, Illinois. While
at Nanvoo they revised their TO.

THE FRUIT GARDEN.

The old strawberry beds should
be kept clean of weeds, removing
all runners not needed for new
plants. New beds may be set this
month, but there is a very little
gained in point of time over spring
planting unless 'potted plants are
used. These are plants from run
ners which have struck root in pots
of earth, set under them by re
moving tn earth with the plant
there is no checking of growth, and
a fair crop Of fruit may be expected
the following summer. There is a
gain 10 setting ordinary strawberry
plants in the fall in that the soil is 10
better condition, and that the gar~
den and other work is not so press
ing. Blackberries and raspberries
start very early in the spring,
and should be planted in the fall.
II it is desired to propagate the
black caps, and few varieties of
the red, the canes must be bent
down and earth placed en- the tips,
which then will soon strike root
Most red raspberries and blackber>
res may be prOpagated readily by
suckers, or shoots which spring
from below ground. The currants
and gooseberries may be pruned as
soon as the leaves are rebdy to fall.
Propagation is done by cuttings
planted 10 rows with one bud above
the surface. If put in early, they
will form roots before winter sets in.
The gathering of the grapes is an
important operation, and is best
done with the scissors made for the
purpose. This avoids handling the
fruit, which, by removing the bloom
Injuries the appearance and therefore
the sale.

Spriug and fall are the seasons
usually set apart for starting orch>
ards Each has its advocates, and
as seasons differ greatly even in the
same localities, and unfavorable
spring being succeeded by tavora-
bic fall, and vice versa, the best
time for transpIAnting fruit trees re
mains an open question. AT the
South. an intermediate seasons
should be selected. Horticultural
at the extreme South give their
preference to midwinter. Spring in
r,anv sections is believed to be the
best time for planting out the stone
fruits. In climates where the win
ters are long and severe, or where
alternate freezing and thawing is OF
frequent occurrence, the planting OF
fruit orchards generally ought un
oues,ionably to be accomplished dur
ing the early spriog
4 very common blunder is that OF
setting trees too near together in an
orchard. When frat set out. trees
reouire but little room, and the
temptation is strong to crowd them.
When this is done, the roots are not
able to obtain sufficient food to pro-
mote rapid growth, and the branch
ga of the trees interlace and shut out
the necessary light and sunahine.-
One of the simplest arrangements OF
orchard trees is in the square form,
where the rows are at equal distance
apart, and an equal distance is OBJ
served between the trees 10 the row.
In apple orchards, thirty feet from
tree to tree, in all directions. Is the
usual rule. Standard pears require
about twenty-five feet. Peach trees
sboold be set distance OF fifteen to
eigbteed feet, and give best results
when transplanted at one year old
from the bud. Standard cherries
are generally set at about the same
distance recommended for peaches.
They may be transplanted at one
vesr from the bud and should not
be over two years. Plum trees are
usually planted sbout fifteen feet
apart trees two years old from the
graft are advised for orchard STAN
dards. Ounces require to be about
twelve feet distance from one to
another, and ought to be at least two
wears old from the layer or bud.
Trees should be transplanted as
soon as possible after having been
lifted from the nursery, All brok"
en- or mutilated roots ought to be re-
moved with a sharp knife, and
enough of the previous seasons
growth Of branches cut back to pre-
serve a proper balance between the
stems and the roots of the tree
The ground having been previously
plowed, and placed in good filth
holes may be dug VIDE ana deep
enough to admit the roots, care
fully spread out in natural position
The tree must not be set deeper thar
it originally stood. Fine earth shoult
be filled in about the roots, and gent
ly trodden down with the feet, more
erth filed in, more firming down o
earth, and so until the excavation ii
filled. When the ground inclines to
be dry, it is good plan to dip the
roots in thin mud, and use water tor
setting down the earth. If the trees
are in exposed positions, secure
them by a stake or two. Mulching
is very generally approved of for
newly set trees it keeps the ground
moist and warm, and prevents the
growth of weeds.

There is no doubt entertained in
the mind of any practical Louisiana
planter that pea vines are the best
and most econimical fertilizer in use,
and when properly preserved in the
shape of hay it is superior, more
strengthening and nutritious for
stock, and by them preferred to any
hay that is produced and always
eaten With avidity. The pea flour"
isbes best in light sandy loan, where
the drainage is good, and equally SC
in stiff soils, if the blowing is done
early, and the land mellowed by
tine. Have planted from a peck to
two bushel to the acre.
