Timely Suggestions.

The question as to early or late sowing
of grain has never been settled, although
the majority of farmers sow early.
Progressive farmers are generally
agreed on the superiority of drilling in
grain seeds over sowing in broadcast.
Now is the time to plant spring flow
ering bulbs, such as tulips, hya -inths,
crocus, narcissus and the like.
The honey crop is poor one in most
sections, owing to the results of heavy
ard continuous rains.
Asparagus plants may be set out either
in autumn, after they have ceased to
grow, or in the spring.
Several weeks should elapse between
the sowing of grain and of the grass
seeds.

pluck one single bud from the garlands of glory that surround the honored brows of our battle-scarred heroes. But we detract naught from their services, we take nothing from the glory of thelr honored career when we call attention to the monster figures that tell the story of nations gratitude. Nor do we think it amiss, in the light of Corporal Tan ner's unprecedented disposition to scat ter the national surplus among the pen sioners. to remind him that not alone to the men who fought our battles does this nation owe duty. Peace hath her victories as well aS War, and when we can look around and see so many of our people struggling iii the bitterness of poverty and groping after the prosperity that once was theirs we ought to remember that some ot the burdens they must now carry to pile up this vast pension fund ought to be lifted from them. It is we'll to care for the soldiers widow, it is we'll to provide for his children. it is well to care tenderly tor the manned veteran whose SleeNeleSS coat tells the story of his sacrifice. but it is worse than folly to open the slulce gates of the national treasury to the pension agents and sharks who are prey ing upon the pensioned veterans.
 The country has problem to face in this pension business that it cannot much longer put off. The expenditures have already reached figures out of pro- portion to the veterans needs, and out of proportion, too, to what they get. A halt must be called sooner or later. anc a good place to begin would be with the pension agents who seem more anxious for liberal pension policy than the Grand Army or the veterans them selves.

A NATION OF PENSIONERS.

Since the change of administration and the consequent change in the care of the pension department. it is begin ming to appear that we bid fair to become q nation of pensioners. Already the congested pension list has reached fig ures out of all proportion to what in the natural order of things ought to be ex- are even now on the eve of being taxed S100, 900, 900 year to provide pensions. And there is no certainty, if Corporal Tanner has his say in the matter, that even this enormous sum will suffice to meet hls ideas of liberality.
 Last year, twenty three years after the war ended. oyer 60, ,000 applications for pensions were allowed, making necessary for their payment this year at least S9O.0O0 OO0. The appro- exhausted, and if MT Tanners rulings are marker of what is coming there will be pretty big deficiency fo1 congress to make up. It has been found that the sum ot $9O ,0O0, 900 which it is believed will be necessary to meet this years disbursements exceeds by S27 ,000,- 900 the total ordinary expenses of the federal government in the year before the war It equals the cost of the stand ing army of Great Britain 1S0 900 strong and nearly equals the cost of the great German army (almost half million strong.) These figures are appalling ano may well fill with dismay the taxpayers from whom this money is taken every year. They give point, too. to the hint that is being whispered that this nation has about reached the climax of what ought to be considered fair need oi gratitude to it's defenders.
