FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Fowls should never be permitted to
have access to the horse stable, nor the
feed room nor haymow. Their rooms
should be entirely separate from the
stable, so that they may not always be
ready to slip in whenever a door is
opened.
Most amateurs in gardening err in
growing their vegetables too closely
that is, in not thinning them enough.
So treated, they are not only much
smaller, but also inferior in quality.
Those who desire good beets, turnips,
parsnips and carrots should remember
this.
One of the drawbacks to the germina-
ton of seeds is that they are covered
with too much earth when planted. The
smaller the seed the less covering re-
quired. Such seeds as kale, cabbage,
turnip, lettuce, carrot and parsnip need
only one-eighth Of an inch of earth over
them.
The buds of peach trees have swollen
unusually for this season, and there is "A
prospect of the crop being destroyed by
late frosts. If the trees are young the
failure to produce fruit may be an ad
vantage, as the trees will probably make
a longer growth and be in better con-
dition for producing fruit next year.
Chestnuts, walnuts, almonds, butter
nuts and pecans can be grown and will
give good variety, and on many places
on the farm they Can be planted and
grown to advantage as easily as other
varieties of trees that bear such fruits az
nuts of a marketable value, while the
wood of the nut trees are of equal value.
If one will go through the orchard in
winter, or any time before the leaves
come, and cut off and burn all twigs
which have the eggs Of the tent caterpil-
lars, he will save much trouble. The
eggs are in rings enclrCling the twigs.
This preventive measure is practicable
only with low headed trees, unless lad
der Is used.
Get as many early chicks out as you
can, it means early laying pullets IN the
fall and eggs in winter you know are
valuable and profitable. But weed out
the culls quickly after you see what you
have; no use feeding poor stock, they
eat as much as the good. Now where Is
the economy in keeping them! This
system of managing your stock should
result we'll in every instance. 1t ID
always better 20 test new plan before
adopting it; we advise you TO try this and
see what there is in it.
Variety in feeding is not only highly
appreciated By poultry, but, in the ex-
perience of those who have tried this
plan, as well as the more general system
of feeding out whole grain only as a
regular food, it has been found that the
former is much the best toward keeping
domestic fowls constantly in good thrift.
By variety We mean both raw and cooked
food-meat. vegetables, scraps, green
food. corn, oats, rice, barley, wheat,
pounded bones. etc. Either for laying
fowls, for breeders, or for growing stock,
the varied feeding plan IS AWE. L-2s1

Stockings and Shoes.

The best fitting shoes that one can
procure will fail to preserve the feet in
healthy condition without healthful
stockings. The panied feet often seek
relief in thinner stockings, regardless Of
seasons or weather. This practice in
winter is to be deprecated, except in the
house, where an equable temperature is
maintained. The change, even tempo
rarily, from wooden to cotton is still
more dangerous to health. Better put
on larger shoes than take this risk.
Caution should be used in choice Of
colors, in order to avoid blood poison
ing.
The best quality of hose, dyed in the
thread, are not apt to part with their
colors on the feet. In the cheap grades,
neutral tints are safest, such as the
grays. Reds, greens and puppies had
better be eschewed. A safe plan, with all
the cheap grades of socks, is to have
them thoroughly washed before wearing
them at ALL
In a hygienic sense, shoes are more
perfectly adapted to the wants Of the feet
than leg boots. There are occasions and
situations in which the latter are pre-
ferable, but as leather is so nearly nom
porous as to permit of but limited es-
cape of moisture, the smaller the area Of
the body covered by it, the better 1t Is
for the person. For persons who walk
much on paved streets, the shoe is the
thing.-.Shoe and Leather Reporter

COMING OUT OF CHURCH

IT'S memory of Childhood,
Twilight shadows deepening;
And the sooty, swinging kettle
Trying very hard to sing;
Then bevy of bright children,
Just like birds upon perch,
Watching, in the crimson embers.
People coming out OF church.
Little people,
Nimble people.
Coming out Of church.
Golden ripples Of the freight
Dance upon the kitchen wall;
AND, to join the silvery laughter,
Hark. the cricket's CHEEKY call.
Oh the chances, quick and star-like,
While 50 eagerly they search
For glimpse Of scarlet mantIes-
People coming out of church.
SPrightly people,
Queerest people,
Coming out of church.
Faded, Ike that fire-side's embers,
Are those faces now to me;
But wander back to Child-Land,
And child 1 seem to be.
For, tonight, my own wee darliags,
Just ike birds upon perch,
Sit and watch, the same as l did,
People coming out of church.
Fitting people,
Crowds Of people,
Coming out of church.

ina at Wichita, June Is, 1890, to
the Pr0hi6itiOn Amendment WOr6-
ers Of Nebraska, greeting:
Our hearts and our PRAYERS are
with you in the pending campaign.
We trust that success may crown yOnr
efforts. and that prohibition may be-
come part Of your fundamental law,
as it is a part OF ours.
Both the moral and material inter
ests Of Kansas have been conserved

of Nebraska against the sophistries
and falsehOods of the re-submission-
lists Of Kansas.
We do not believe that the re-sub-
missionists have any serious hope Of
disl0dging prohibition in Kansas,
but the re-submissiOn agitation is an
effort on the part Of the national liq-
uOr dealers and few pOlitica! tricks
ters of Kansas to influence voters
against prohibition IN your amend
ment campaign. 1t is for campaign
purposes i'm Nebraska in the Interests
of license, and to defeat prohibition
there, rather than anything they ex-
pect to accomplish here.
May God bless you in your great
work.

monumental fools loose in society,
one of whom was engaged incessamt-
ly in giving advice, and the other in
following it. AS to the relative bulk
of the two he adjudged them twins.
The Alliance is being reminded that
it is not a political organization, and
counseled to keep hands off of all
political candidates and measures.
1t may be that the organization
would not be wise i'm entering upon
the selection of candidates for any
particular place, but it has unques-
toned right to weigh the record of
any public servant and pronounce a
well DONE" or depart" upon him.
If the Alliances which have already
spoken had heartily endorsed our rep
resentatives in Congress, teese same
papers would have lauded their act
ion. Had the county Alliance OF
Johnson county pronounced in praise
of Funston's record in Congress, the
Olathe Mirror and the other postoffice

STREET CAR MANNERS
Observations Upon One or Two Common
Types Of BoOvishness.

Observations Upon One or Two Common
Types Of BoOrishness.
One day last week car on one of tho
Traction company's lines became pretty
well crowded with passengers, mostly
ladies, before it's trip was half made. In
the corner next the rear door sat a well
dressed lad of 16, evidently the son of
parents in good circumstances. Within
a space of two squares three old men,
nearly blind and all more or less Grip
pied, got in the car. Seats were fur
nished for two of them by gentlemen
who stood, and gray haired lady gave
the third her seat. The boy never moved
or gave the least indication that he knew
or cared whether older or helpless people
were standing while he was comfortably
seated.
If this boorish and i'll hammered boy
was the only one of his type it would be
hardly worth while to refer to the mat
ter; but, unfortunately, he is not. There
are hundreds and thousands like him.
In many cases, perhaps, these lads are
more to be pitied than blamed. Any
one who witnessed the selfishness and
want of courtesy shown by the lad in
question recognized that defective home
training was at the root of his ill man.
nered selfishness. He had not been
taught respect for age or sympathy for
helplessness. Therefore. he failed to ex-
ercise either. Would it not be worth
while for parents and teachers, while
teaching the boys a good many other
things, to teach them manners, too? If
they can't be induced to do it from a
love of good manners on their own part
they should do it for very shame, for
every exhibition of selfish boorishness
like the one above mentioned is an adj
vertisement to the world that all the
world reads Of lack of proper home
training. The boorish boy gives away
his boorish parents or teachers.
In the same car, before it became quite
so crowded, was another boor-the fell
low who folds and unfolds his newspa-
per, digging his elbows into the passen-
gers on each side of him while doing so.
This fellow is in almost every morning
and evening car. His elbows are worn
sharp by constant practice, as thousands
of his fellow riders can testify from pain
full experience. He is worse than the
boy who hasn't been taught good man.
ners and isn't old enough to have learned
himself, for the newspaper boor is usu-

cars. He is the fellow who gets in soon
otter the car starts and becomes so alb
sorbed in his newspaper that he can't see

means shall be produced by taxation for
their support for period of not less than
SIX months in the year, and we further
favor the conferring upon the voters of
each school district the right to impose
additional taxes for such district for such
purposes, and we urge the election of
members to the legislature who will favor

of the Democracy that the native people
of this territory are mentally and morally
disqualified for self government; on which
ground that party bases its chief objection
to the constitution.
We favor the protection OF laborers and
employees and the adoption Of proper laws
securing to them liens for their services
and also establishing suitable courts OF
arbitration for the settlement of differ
ences between employees and employers.

ticket or ballot OF the Republican party
to be voted at the various polling places
in this territory at the general election, to
be held on the first Tuesday of November

THE LATEST DODGE OF THE STATE
OPPONENTS

Tie Democratic bosses and gangsters
who are opposing the adoption of the
constitution, assert, that it was gotten up
by men who own land grants, and that
there is nothing in the instrument that
protects the people against land grant
encroachments. OF all the silly, lying
bubbles the gaLg is using, that is about
the funniest one. The gang knows abso-
lutely and perfectly, that this territory or
the state OF New Mexico will have moth
ing whatsoever to do with the land grant
question in any shape, way, manner or
form; it knows perfectly well, that that
question is simply, solely and entirely
one for the United States OF america to
decide, and that all property rights must
be adjudicated according to law, equity
and justice in the courts Of this territory
and OF the supreme court OF the United
States.
From the character aud antecedents of
the gang that is now running the Demo-
cratic campaign and opposing the adop-
ton of the constitution, the people were
prepared for anything in the line OF polit-
zeal lying and falsehood and SANDER, bal
lot box stuiiing and the buying of votes,
with little intimidation and bulldozing
thrown in. But The Stiffness OF the course
the gang is taking, astonishes even those
who knew them well.
In the mean time it is very pertinent to
remark right here that the Democratic
candidate, Antonio Joseph, claims only
about zoe, GOO acres OF land grants in Rio
Arriba and Taos counties, namely the
| Oio Caliente and Cieneguilla grants, al
legged to have been granted by the MeXl-
that the eX.chairman Of the Democratic
central committee, c. II. Gildersleeve,
owes every dollar he possesses to the
handling, buying, selling and ownership
of Mexican land grants, and the present
Chairman of the Democratic committee,
MIR. Childers, is the claimant in several
land grant cases; that there is not a
prominent Democrat in New Mexico, who
has any property at all, or who is tax
payer, who does not own or claim some
land under Spanish and Mexican titles.
Take these lights Of the Democracy, Felix
Martinez, Macario Gallegos, Rafael Ro-
nero, Felipe Chaves, Thomas j. Bull,
Eutimio Nontoya, Manuel Garcia, Nasario
Gonzales, and others, and they are, every
one of them, land grant owners or land
grant claimants or have been interested
in land grants and sold out.
The gang that now runs the Democrat
ic machine, is quite expert in bowling
''stop thief, but if there ever was set of
land grant sharks, and land grabbers in
this great territory, the gang now in con-
troll OF the Democratic machine is the one.

THE people of New Mexico must not
forget that under the Ross Doodle admin
istration, from 1885 to 1889, when this
territory was cursed with corrupt judges
and dishonest federal and territorial court
officials, the cost OF -unning the courts
was $16O 900 per year; the people must
not forget that, owing to wise and bene
nclal legislation passed by a Republican
legislature over the veto OF that Doodle
governor, put into Office by Grover Cleve-
land, and owing to a jus, and honest adj
ministraton of the courts, the entire ex-
pense of their administration for the first
;welve months of the present Republican
'egime, amounted to only 100000, in
which sum there is included an estimate
OF deficiency in the pay of jurors, etc.,
OF about $40 1000; this means that under
the Democratic administration the people
of New Mexico were Systematically and
constantly robbed by corrupt Judges and
dishonest court officials.

CONCERNING THE PAYMENT OF TAXES.

CONCERNING THE PAYMENT OF TAXES.
At any rate the law requires that taxes
be paid by October 81 of each year; there
fore there is plenty of time anyway hut
as 1t is notorious and patent that the tax
funds of this county are not being handled
according to law; that they are not being
disposed of according to law that the tax
funds i'll the past have been misappro-
priated and used only for the maintenance
of few Democratic bosses; therefore we
advise the tax payers of this county to be
slow, very slow in paying taxes we adj
and take steps toward the proper collec-
ton of and an honest accounting of tax
moneys; we advise them in view of the
past, to be very careful and to decline
payment at present and until change
takes place in the county government;
this may be called by some bad advice,
by others unlawful, but the serious condi-
ton of this county demands some such
action, and after all the people must help
themselves. We have had enough rot
tenness and dishonesty in this county;
let's put stop to it. Stand up for your
rights and show the gang that you are
decent American citizens, knowing your
rights and that you mean to have them.
You have only yourselves to blame if you
are misgoverned.
