Mr. GEORGE, the labor candidate for
Mayor of New York, made a speech last
Tuesday night, in which he said: "If sixty
FIVE per cent. OF the slave negro infants had
died yearly as the infants of New York do
now it would have raised q great commo-
ton. The slave negro children were better
lodged and better fed than the white child.
rem ia the New York tenements are DOW"
And yet protective tariff has been in OPP
Grafton for twenty five years, and the re-
publicans say such tariff protects labor.
Mr.. George is An awful crank on the land
question, hut his head is certainly level on
the tariff and income tax questions.

Hints ON washing.

Mr.. Henry WILDER, Rice County,
To-, writes Prairie Farmerihat after
testing various kinds for several
years, her experience is not favorable
to washing machines, which We are
not surprised at for it is a pretty gen
eral experience We shall certainly
look for a different report when we
hear from those who try the new one
now offered TO our readers, Mrs W.,
however writes for those who can not
afford any washing machine. She
says the following plan gives the
most excellent results, and is the
quickest, easiest way she has heard
Of. The soaking of the clothes over
night is always 10 he urgently recon-
mended, Both long soaking and the
use OF hot water have wonderful sol
vent or loosening effects upon the
usual soiling materials, and thus save
great deal OF work and wearing of
clothes. But lot ii always be remem-
bered that any strong alka)ies, like I've
or very strong soap or suds, is iDjur-
ious to both garments ard hands. We
hope Mrs. w. will,continuo to give 10
others the result Of her expericu ce, ia
any department of housekeeping
work. Soak the clothes over night
always, the white in one tub, the col
ored ones in another, excepting aan'
nels, which are washed as usual, In
the morning partly fill the boiler with
good strong suds, into which put the
cleauest white clothes, first rubbing
the most soiled places lightly with
soap. Stir them once in a while IN
til they boil minute or SC, then take
them out, suds them, rinse them il
bluing water, and hang out Serve
tAe rest ia the same way in their turn
They will need scarcely any rubbing
No bluing if blue soap is used ia th,
boiler. Use plenty of soap and /
very little I've # the water is hard
Can dc my Washing so quickly ant
easily in this way that | never dreaC
the job, as so many do. Am so en-
thusiastic on this subject that ! would
like to go around showing people how
easily they might do their washing
| if they would. | have washed Thu
way twenty years, and can thorough
| ly recommend it, / have persuaded
many to wash thus, and they are in
variably satisfied with the results, i
they do it Just right. Would like tC
say ever so much more, but presum
| have already said quite as much q
is necessary.

Rotate Your Crops.
Or. G. A. Goessmaun, Massachusetts Agricultural
College


College
Farm crops, when raised for any
length OF time upon the same lands,
show q gradual decline in annual
yield. The length Of time necessary
to prouuce the result varies OF course
with soil and climate in the case of
each crop.
Potatoes have been raised on the
same land in Heligoland since 1906
Whest follows wheat for ages in
Egypt and the same is true Of rice in
China, corn in Mexico, and barley in
Greece, bat these statements do not
altSr the above verdict. Experience
shows that the more limited the mum
Der of crops grown, the sooner failure
comes. A rotation of crops is much
better. A,few suggestions regarding
some leading ideas for system Of
rotation are:
/. Crops Of the same character ought
not TO be raised in close succession on
the same land.
2. Crops which consume a large
proportion of one or two kinds of min
eral constituents in particular ought
to be succeeded by those which require
but q small portion of thom-- hoed
crops after grain crops, phosphoric
acid containing crops after potash
containing crops.
3. Shallow.rooting plants should
follow deep-rooting ones.
4 Hoed crops should be raised, if
possible every three or four years up
on the same lands in the interest Of
clean cultivation.
5. The manure--in particular barn
yard manure - should be added to
those crops receiving thorough me
chanical treatment.
6. The selection Of plants should be
made with view that each one can
receive the full benefit Of good prep
aration Of the soil and proper time
for planting.
z. The industry adopted should
strain to secure FROM the land under
cultivation the highest possible pecun-
isry returns without reducing its fer
tility.

Seven Hundred Miles in Rowboat.
Charleston News and Courier


A colored man named William
Taylor lost his situation in this city,
and, having little money and moth
ing to do, he determined 70 go north
and engage ia sturgeon fishing. After
working three or four months, he
found that all he had to show
for his labors was a good yawl boat,
nineteen feet long, and about $15 or
s2e in money. He was beginning to
get homesick and to think that he
could make more money in Charles
ton than he could up north, and so
resolved to come home. He was then
in Philadelphia, and not having mon
ey enough to bring both himself and
his boat to this city he determined to
row down. On the first Saturday in
October ne set out ON his way home,
MS outfit consisting of pair of skulls
q keg Of water, one blanket, and $12
in cash. He came by the INLAND
route, and, after two months of hard
work, he arrived at Charleston.
