the end with any future measures
which they may succeed in engraft-5
ing upon national legislation, how
eyer cnnningly and ingeHio,,sIy they they
may be framed. 8 II
Audacity and deafness of con-
science arc more strikingly displayed
than ever by tho men who are fore
most III this new crusade Mr..
Sherman, of Ohio, Mr. Chandler. Of
Now Hampshire, Mr.. Hawley,1 of 1
Connecticut, and the New York Sens
ators. The new measures these
gentlemen advocate because, as they
say, there is wholesale denial of
representation to the black people of
the South. If the white people Of
Com ccticut, New Hampshire and
New York had proper representation,
Democrats would sit in the Senate
in the place of evory one Nof them.
Mr.. Hawley almost worked himself (
into tears yesterday over Florf6aa,
lie sits in tho United States Senate
only because in his State of Con-
nccticut the votes of thousand
Democrats count no moro than the
votes of a hundred Republicans. If !
New Hampshire Democrats were 1
given tho representation to which
they arc justly entitled "Bill' Chan
dlcr would never have occupied the
seat which has been filled by 80
many great and good men from the
State which he claims, but where
he has not really resided for twenty
years. II there was a fairlegislative
apportionmont in New York, neither
Mr. Evarts nor Mr.. Hiscock, nor
any one of their political faith,
would have the opportunity to la
mcnt over a false, exaggerated and
distorted condition of affairs in the
South.
Mr.. Sherman, who is so much
concerned over tho alleged denial Of
representation in tho South, has no
eyes or cars for the political condi-
tion in Ohio, where the Democrats, 4
who arc numerically nearly one-half
OF the voting population, has only
five members in the House Of Rep
resentativcs, while tho Republicans
have sixteen. SO far as the debate
on Southern affairs has progrc -sed
in the Senate this session IL has
been made evident that wei de- ii
fined and settled purpose exists in
the minds of the Republicans to
have official light thrown only upon
their side of the question. In every
resolution brought forward on the
Republican side the scope of inquiry
has been confined TO information
which can be used for partisan ends,
and every motion cinallating from
the Democratic side to broaden the
inquiry and give a Democratic hear
ing to both parties has been promptly
voted down. Baltimore SIN. 3

proper condition, but never before More
crops are injured by sowing the seed
when the soil Is too wet and cold than
from almost auy other cause. \ sowing
of radishes should be made every ten DAYS
until the first of June, and then again in
September. Peas should also bc sown in
succession until the first OF June Plant

crop may be consumed when in the best
possible condition 1t Is far better to eat
canned peas than half-ripencd ones from
the vines. \ planting Of peas can he made

proper kinds are selected, and for this
purpose the various earliest of ALL"
or this class Of smooth peas, are the best.
1t Is folly 10 plant for late crop tho
large, wrinkled varieties, ~ only q crop
of mildew will be the result. Two
paintings of beetS in spring and one in
August will keep up a succession Of this
vegetable. tender and sweet. Sweet corn
SHOULD be planted every week. say twenty
hills at time, from the first OF May
until the middle of July; this
will afford an ample supply
for nearly three months. Beans
should be planted at intervals of two
weeks, the last planting 10 be made the
first of August. This crop, If not wanted
for snap beans, can be used TO good ad-
vantage for picking.
A small planting of strap leaf turnips
should be made as early as possible in the
season, and another on the ground where
the early peas or potatoes were grown.
still later planting OF turnipS, rs well
as rutahadas, can be made about the first
of August on any vacant ground.
Wherever there is vacant spot, no mat
ter how small, spinach should be sown, if
for no other purpose than to turn under
as a vegetable manure. 1t is important
to make a late AS we'll as an early plant
ing of tomatoes. For the first, put out
strong, stocky plants, for the second,
drop a seed or two in each hill of early
corn, and, as soon rs the corn is done,
cut the stalks TO the ground, and a
splendid crop of tomatoes will be secured,
which comes in very useful after the first
has ripened its best fruits. BY this
method of planting, the garden will yield
more than dolble its usual crop, and the
vegetables will be far better than the

Curing Bow Legs.

Mrs. Bassett had twins, three year-old
boys, who were bow legged. She con-
suited a doctor and asked If she must put
their legs ID irons.
'Irons!" shouted the doctor. Gid
dlesticks! Take off their shoes and
stockings. Their muscles have probably
been cramped and weakened already and
irons will only increase the trouble. Of
with their shoes"
Another suggestion Of the doctor was
to let the boys walk up hill, and when
they could not be out of doors, to have
an inclined plane arranged in the house
for them to practice on In the effort to
walk up steep incline one naturally
throws the feet outward. After some
months treatment of this sort the boys
legs Strengthened and their muscles grew
strong. 1t was learned by the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chill
| dren that baby girl just beginning to
walk was toddling around in her little
bare feet, and committee visited the
mother.
But does your baby actually go bare

yes She has never worn shoe in
her life. When she goes out for an air

until she can walk she cannot, of course,
take sufficient exercise to keep her feet
warm. But in the house she is as bare
footed as the boys. She is just begin
ming to get on her feet, and her little bare
toes are almost as useful to her as fingers.
They have saved her many a fall.
| One of the members of the committee
was the wife of a shoe dealer; she sat
aghast. But do you never intend to
have your children wear shoes!" she
! asked.

MAKE AN ASPARAGUS BED.

Asparagus is as easily raised as any
thing that grows in the garden, and yet
it is comparatively rare to fine it on a
farmers table. The reason may be that
so much nonsense has been published
about the difficulties of raising it, and
that we have to wait two or three years
for the full maturity of the plant. 1t is
true that full crop will not be given in
less than three years, but when the bed
is once made, the job is done for dozen
or twenty years. If it is made this
spring there will be one season less to
wait.
Any good, well-drained soil that is fit
for corn is suitable for asparagus. Put
salt barrel of stable manure to every
six square feet of ground. Spade deep,
work thoroughly, and cover the surface
with two inches of rich, light soil. Now
work off ir drills, one foot apart, after
separating the seed from the hulls. Plant
them five or six inches apart in the drills,
cover carefully and tramp firmly with
the feet. The seeds terminate quicker
if soaked a few days before planting.
Care must be taken to keep the bed free
from weeds, and a deep hoeing be given
every two weeks.
When the plants are we'll up they must
be thinned to one foot apart. In the
fall cover the bed with four inches of
manure and fork ii under in the spring,
after which SOW over it a pint of salt
to every twenty plants. Cultivate again
thoroughly during the growing season,
and top-dress in the fall as before. The
second season a few stalks may be cut in
April and May, but there should be no
close cutting till the third season. To
cut asparagus later than the middle Of
June weakens the plants and soon causes
the aid to fail. The secret Of large, fine
asparagus is abundant manure, applied
in the fall every year, thorough cultiva-
ton until the tops prevent, and to stop
cutting by the middle of June.
The blanched asparagus so popular in
some markets is secured by straw or other
mulch. 1t is, however, poor stuff in com
parison with the long, tender, green
shoots that have the benefit of full sun
light on rich soil. 1t is thought best by
some to set bed with plants one year
old, but we have tried both ways and
prefer to plant seed. In our experience
the plants from seed are suitable 20 cut
quite as soon as from yearlings .-4astri-

THE VEGETABLE GARDEN.

Where plenty of garden vegetables ere
required, frequent sowings or paintings
should be made. The spring fever of
vegetable gardening Is generally of short
duration, and is at its height when it
first comes on. The owner of small
garden is apt to have it so seriously, that
undue haste is made in all the operations
piowing or spading is not half done; the
surface is barely stirred up enough 10
show that some one has been over the
whole ground; fertilizers are improperly
applied, and paintings are made with
hands unguided by experience or judg-
ment. All the seeds are put in on the
same day, and the work finished up as
rapidly as possible. The result is, in
many cases, that at no time does the gar
den afford vegetables worthy the name.
For the best success series Of plant
ings should be made Of vegetables which
are of rapid growth and short duration.
In this class are the radiShes and lettuce,

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
KILLING OF DRILLING.

On the same acreage larger crop of
either kind of cultivated crop can ne
grown by planting IN hills rather than IN
drills. But as clean cultivation is neces-
sary to secure a good growth and yield
the cost Of cultivation must be consid-
cred in determining the profits. That is,
in an average soil, it Is more expensive TO
give clean cultivation with drill planting
than with hill, and the principal question
TO determine IS whether the better yield
secured will pay for the additional cost.
Plsnted in hills nearly or quite all the
cultivation can be given with the team
and cuItivators, but in drills in ma
jority of cases it will be necessary TO use
the hoe 10 d more or less extent, and this
increases the cost. The amount of hoe
ing that will be necessary depends largely
upon the condition of the soil If the
soil is IN good filth before planting the
seed so that the harrow can be used
early in cultivating 50 that the weeds can
be destroyed before they make a fair
start, and then if care is taken in work
ing the cultivator close to the plants the
work of keeping clean can be materially
reduced.
A soil that is foul with weed seeds is
much more difficult to give clean cultiva-
ton than is a less weedy soil.
Often new ground can be planted in
drills and very good cultivation be given
with very little hoeing and good growth
and yield be secured.
Potatoes, cane and beans at least should
be planted in drills, and it will be better
to hoe two or three times rather than to
plant IN hills, but with corn as a rule, in
what may be termed average ground, the
more economical plan will he to plant in
hills so that the cultivation can be given
both ways, then if care is taken at the
start to work close to the plants the
weeds can be kept down. Il is not nee
essary to stir the soil deep but it is very
important that the soil should be stirred
thoroughly, kept clean and mellow, and
the better this is done the better will be
the results secured. Plant in drills if
the condition of the soil will admit, but
in hills rather than allow the weeds to
get too good start.-Fdrma, Field and

THE HARBOR OF DREAMS.
Only a whispering gale

Only a whispering gale
Flutters the wings of the boat;
Only bird in the vale
Lends TO the silence a note
Mellow. subdued, and remote;
This is the twilight Of peace,
This is the hour of release,
Free OF ali worry and fret,
Clean Of all care and regret,
When like a bird in its nest
Fancy lies folded to rest.
This is the margin of sleep:
Here let the anchor be cast:
Here in forgetfulness deep,
Now that the journey is past,
Lower the sails from the rlast.
Here is the bay of content,
Heaven and earth interblent;
Here Is the haven that lies
Close to the gates OF surprise;
Here all like Paradise seems
Here Is the harbor of dreams.

This can we'll be tackled on the walls Of a

ponds to a large extent on the practical
application of this maxim in all Opc cations
of the dairy.
One of the reasons poultry pays on
some farms is because of the vast amount
of waste food consumed and converted
into eggs and meat. There is 70 neces-,
sity for feeding poultry large portion
of the year when the barnyard IS &C
cessiblc TO the hens.
Widcawake farmers own pure-bred
fowls, which cost no more TO feed, and
the ratio of profit is greater than with
barnyard stock. Why should not every
farmer do so? Better test this matter
thoroughly this spring. Experience will
certainly prove its wisdom.
Special attention should now be given
to brood sows. They should not under
any consideration be closely confined.
The run Of q large pasture, though it
seem too dry to furnish any food, will be
of value, as the hog will pull up roots
and other green stun TO relax the bowels
ard purify the blood.
Those who have never raised ducks do
not know that ducklings grow much
faster than chicks, and come at time
| when the best prices for chicks have
passed. Ducks will lay at least one hun
dred and forty eggs year, and will be-
gin when six months old. The Pckin Is

OF great value We have lately heard OF
case where farmers in Nebraska bought
sugar bcets 1T a high price to feed their
/ hogs. The sugar beet, from the large
amount of sugar and water and the small
amount of fibre it contains, is easily di-
! gcsted and at the same time very nutri
tious. As counter irritant when fed
with corn to hogs they are doubtless
worth bushel for bushel with corn.
