FALL CARE oF THE GARDEN.

FALL CARE OF iii GARDEN.
Press Bulletin No.. z.
Now is the time to prepare the garden
for next years crop. Ii it be a farm
garden or a town garden the same meth
nls are applicable. A very rich, deep
sol! ]. necessary for successful garden
rops. All OF our vegetables have been
improved from wild prototypes. The
wild plant needed no more food than
our wild grasses, but in improving itman
has taught it to elaborate often Il hun
dred times as much nutriment as was
prepared in the wild state. All this
additional material is taken from the
soil, SO the gardner must see that there
lis always an excess OF nutritive elements
in his soil in order that the plant may
attain it's greatest development. For
tunately the only fertilizer easily OBJ
vidcs all the elements that plants need.
This is barn-yard manure For gardens
manure should be %thorouhly wellrotted.
Near our towns there are always places
WHeic tHe lluiluIe Is Cdlleu from olle
alleys, and in the course OF a few years
this refuse becomes well rotted and is
the best material Tor enriching the gar
den. First CT all, the old tomato and
potato vines, and other refuse OF the
garden, should be burned to destroy
any fungus Or insect eggs that may be
adhering to them. Then a heavy coat
Of we'll rotted manure-all that the plow
will turn under-should be applied.
Then the ground should be plowed
deep, the deeper the better, with mar
row even burrows, and the garden should
be left thus for the frost to work on all
winter.

NO FEAR FROM LEPROSY.

-----
Leprosy is Il Relic of the I:arbarfc Ages,
and Is Disappearing.
The close commercial relations be-
tween California and China have in
troduced quite a number of lepers into
the former from the latter country. A
leper hospital in San Francisco has
contained as many as lifty-two unfor-
Inmates, all of whom were Chinese.
No cases, however. have developed
from these among the inhabitants of
any of the Pacific states In New York
city there have been half a dozen iso-
lated cases during the past ten years.
and at the present time the writer
knows of five cases of leprosy within
the city limits. Leprosy is a relic of
the barbaric ages, and it is, 1 think,
slowly disappearing from the earth.
Civilization and progress will in time
complete its effacement. 1t is but an
other instance of the Debated Crab''
of Mr.. Jackson, and we may join with
him.in praying heaven to soon remove
it. We must not neglect certain safe
guards against it, however, for it is an
liSloioAtS uLoCttoS. A1tll ~ SCuUuly IL
often necessary to effect it's develop
ment in Il community, and it may gain
a fOothold without attracting attention.
The action of the government in rigid
ly quarantining against it is commend,
able. Lepers. TO say the least, are no
desirable citizens, and such as reach oul
shores should be sent back to the place:
whence they came. The establishment
of a l%aZaretto has been advocated fol
such cases as have developed among
us. / believe it should be done, ant
hope to see it in the near future, as il
will undoubtedly prevent some cases
from occurring that would otherwise
occur. AS a nation we have nothing
to fear from leprosy. The conditions
do 10 exist here to cause or even per.
nit the spread of the disease, and it is
not conceivable that they will exist un
til civilization proves a failue. DIR.

THE THIRD PARTY.

Ky thinking IA in the old parties
Acknowledges that "thingS are rotten III
Denmark" and that Il change is needed,
even though they fail to realize the need
OF a third party. The census report,
incomplete as it is on the mortgage ques-
ton, shows a d%eplorable condition OF
the farming classes. Had this report
included the mortgaged condition OF
trades1nen and towns people it would
have shown them in even worse condl-
ton than our farmers. Take this
m%ortgaged condition OF our people in
connection with Bradstrects report Of
the business failures OF the country and
the testimony against existing conditions
is compete. Now compare the condi-
ton of the middle classes and legitimate
lines Of business, with the banking and
brokerage business Of the country; with
railroads and all other corporations and
lines of business under or in combines
and we shall find that the latter class
are growing fat on present conditions.
On top vi this consider the growing
wealth OF the country. We have thenbe-
fore us the fact that our country is grow
ing richer, and that certain classes are
increasing their wealth rapidly, while
others are just as rapidly becoming
hopelessly involved in debt. Unequal
distribution of wealth is then the evil
which must be met. Neither OF the old
parties have faced the issue. This has led
to revolt and the formation OF the
Peoples party. The new party, through
government loans, proposes to lower in
terest andincrease the currency. Through
government ownership to increase the
price to the producer while losYering tito
the consumer, striking atthe same time
a severe blow to monopoly and specu-
latlons III the products OF labor and by
slsradcd income tax to hold in check the
fortunes Already obtained by corrupt
.ueails,

One Of the queer things that we sec,
TITS really no delusion,
Il to witness the old party boys
Come together in afusion.
Republicans viii take their part,
The Deems the. Otler half.
II makes me smile right ont loud
Excuse me while l laugh.
The Reps, they praise the Democrats
And say, Fittings all are rightedT
For now the time has come to pass
That we must be united"
They pool their issues all en- masse,
Them divide up, half and half;
/ vow it's such a funny sight
Excuse me while laugh.
They used to act when they would meet
Like cats and dogs a-snarling;
But now q change comes DER theia
dreams,
They meet like lovers darling.
have witnessed fond reunions
Between mother COW and calf,
But this beats all I ever saw
Excuse me while I laugh.
Their faces all SO long have grown,
The BARRIERS charge them double;
And you o very plainly see
They're in a peck Of trouble.
But we've got the death grip on them,
Spite of all their blow and chaff;
It tickles me to see them squirm-
Excuse me while I laugh.
They Join together with intent
To rob of all who toll.
They care not for the starving poor,
So they but reap the spoil.
But the people nov are after them
With pitchfork, pick and staff;
The way we make them "hunt theil
holes!"-
Excuse me while I laugh.
The Reps say to the Democrats,
IF you want IN office pick it."
They would vote for the devil, sure,
If he were on their ticket.
But we have learned their tricky ways,
And will not put up with half;
Well elect our own full ticket, boys
Excuse us while we laugh.
rTis often said he who laughs last
Is the one who laughs the best.
As they have laughed at us for years,
Now let them take a rest.
Then we will join together, boys,
And fling them back their chat;
It's our turn to be tickled now
Excuse us while we laugh.

Songs.

The Belgian military authorities
have discovered that various songs
used in the army are not quite proper,
and several poets and composers have
been applied to to supply the army
with some unobjectionable songs in
French and Flemish to take their
places.
