WHETHER the populists are right
or wrong in claiming that their Or
ganization is the legal one, they
must and will oe held responsible
for the delay in settling this ques-
ton. The republicans have been
extremely anxious to raise the point
in the supreme court, but the popu-
lists have carefully and designedly
avoided introducing any measure
whose legality might be thus attack
ed!sIf the populists had proceeded in
the usual manner and passed appro-
priation bills, ETC., the question could
have been determined without the
waste of time and expense that has
been incurred. They were afraid
they were wrong and preferred to
hold their organization by force and
in defiance of legal methods.

WE have always understood that
one of the cardinal doctrines Of the
peoples party was opposition to
lawyers and national bankers and,
yet. in electing a United States SEN
ator, they have recognized both and,
in order to be able to do so, have
even been compelled to 60 outside
of their own party to secure such a
candidate. We are trying very hard
to believe that the populists are sim
cere and consistent in their pledges,
but our faith has been severely tried
recently.

DWARF FRUIT TREES.
When Properly Grated They Bear FIR
in Three Years.

When Properly Grated They Bear Fruit
in Three Years.
AS rule those looking towards q
permanent orchard do not care to
plant dwarf trees whether pear or APP.
pie, because such trees, are less perma-
ncnt than standards. Some are led to
plant them by the taking name dwarf,
is less room required for them. There
is IN one way, but not in another.
Dwarfs are low branched and occupy
all the ground that their limbs over
spread, while the standard, being
trimmed up several feet, permits the
use of the soil under it. The chief
gain in dwarfs is in the getting of the
fruit early. In the case of the apple,
for instance. on a standard tree there
is disappointment if fruit be looked for
under eight or ten years On the other
hand dwarf, when grated on the
Paradise stock, will bear in two or
three years. This gives one chance
to get some fruit, while waiting for
the standards to come in. This stock
dwarfs apples SO much that they can
be planted four feet apart, which
would be found to be far enough apart
for them for many years. Borcrs are
exceedingly troublesome to dwarf
trees, and good looking after must be
given them twice year.-Practical

The Only Remedy.

Stone, gravel and broad tires are all
good, provided the road be properly
made, but they are not remedies for
bad roads. There is only one remedy
for bad roads, and that is a proper
draining and grading of the same.
Water standing in bitches and ponds
along the roadside will destroy almost
any road, and stone and gravel dumped
in water and mudholes on the roadbed
is only good material wasted. A dry
roadbottom only makes good founda-
ton for good material. According to
Galen Wilson, "a few hours labor
would keep the water courses right. ."
Another writer says: There could
scarcely be found in each county at
least one man capable of making a
good road" Yes, but why is he not
found? Tathmasters may, as a rule,
know how to pillow. but not one in a
hundred knows how to make a good
road.

ABOLISH BLINDERS.
Intelligent Horsemen Condemn Their
Use In Strong Language.

Intelligent Horsemen Condemn Their
Use In Strong Language.
The best handlers of horses of all
classes are condemning the blinds.
Anything applied to obstruct the sight
Injuries the eyes. AS to the influence
of curbing or controlling the horse by
hiding from him frightful objects, the
blind has proven more disastrous in a
general way than beneficial If a
horse passes some object not fully I'M
derstood by him, and causing fright,
the shutting off from view of this
kcarecrow by the blinds only increases
the fear-he doesn't know how soon
this frightful object may pounce upon
him. This condition of fear has
caused many person severe injuries
by being kicked by the frightened ami.
NAL approached from behind his
blindfold. The moment you lay hand
on the horse he nearly jumps out Of
his hide, while if he could see that it
was only the approach of a man he'd
be perfectly reconcled. Any horse of
ordinary sense can soon be taught not
to scare at flags, cars, covered
wagons, umbrellas, etc, by letting
him see them and understand them.
The secret of educating horse to be a
safe driver is not to keep him ignorant
of the character of everyday objects on
the road. Give full power of all his
senses: let him sec, hear and smell, if
need be. to satisfy his fears. Live

with weed-seeds, by all means SOW it
in drills, so that the soil can be stirred.
Glass is the best cover for a hotbed;
but if it is thought too expensive, the
next best and cheapest cover is very
thin muslin; heavy muslin shades the
bed too much. OF course, the bed will
need further protection from frost and
heavy rains.
Hotbeds dry out quickly, especially
if the covering is raised or taken off.
The soil should be kept quite moist,
and when it becomes dry should re-
ceive a thorough watering. Not less
than half a gallon of water, applied in
a fine spray, should be used to every
square foot of surface. 1t is a good
plan to bank the frame on the outside
with earth, and keep the soil packed
solid against it on the inside. This
will make the bed snug and tight, and
prevent it from drying out too rapidly.
The cover should be taken off several
days before the seedlings are trans
planted in open ground, in order to
harden them.-E S. Mead, in Amer
lean Gardening.

MAKING HOTREDS.
Hints from Man Who Knows What b
Is Talking About

nAnts from wan VINO KNOWS What He
Is Talking About.
1t is not an easy task to be ALWAYS
successful in making hotbeds, especial.
ly if they are to be made early in the
season. l prefer for this purpose ma
nure from highly-fed horses, and it
should be kept under shelter and not
allowed to freeze. 1t should also be
fresh and moderately moist.
In making hotbeds early in the sea-
son, plenty of manure should be used,
sag a layer at least "a inches deep.
Mix it thoroughly with about one
fourth OF its bulk of litter, such as for
est leaves or straw. 1t should be mod
erately and evenly packed and
tramped all over the bed, so that it will
be level and heat evenly all through.
Leave the bed we'll covered and pro-
tected for few days, to sec if it heats
properly.
In the meantime, select in the woods
rich, loamy spot of ground, and burn
on it, to kill the weed seeds, good
sized brushheap. Mix this soil and
ashes and spread it in an even layer
six inches deep over the bed. This soil
should be loose and loamy, and full of
decaying vegetable matter, so that il
will not bake or become solid. 1t will
also heat more quickly, and not be SO
apt to get too hot 1t is much less la
Dor to burn the soil and kill the weed
seeds than to pull the weeds afterward,
and treated in this way the bed will
always be clean This is especially
advisable if the bed is to be sown with
onion seeds, and the seedlings to be
transplanted.
| sowed quite large bed with onion
seeds last season. About half was
drilled in, and the rest was sown broad
cast, or evenly, all over TIE bed and
lightly covered with clean soil. ] find
that by sowing the seed broadcast ]
can grow many more plants on the
same space, and that they will be as
good, or better, than if sown in rows.
They are usually straighter, more
stocky and better rooted. One can
SOW almost just the right amount of
seed and not have it too thick, as, ly-
ing on the surface, it is plainly visible
/ can see no advantage whatever in
sowing any kind of seed in drills if the
soil has been freed from weed-seeds in
the manner described If the seed,
however, is to Re Sown on soil foul

time almost impossible. From photograph.
the clay from the sub-soil for the road;
this clay should be free from organic
matter, as far as possible, should be
dry and compact, ground fine and
should be put on in thin layers and
relied as hard as possible in this re-
spect our common road rollers are de-
fective in their operation; while they
level and compress the surface, they do
not allow the air and moisture to es-
cape; they fail to pack the dirt firmly
and to make the road solid and hard.
This can only he done with roller,
constructed on the principle of the
tempering wheel used in the old time
brick yards, which roller should be
made with narrow steel tires with
spaces between. A heavy roller con-
structed on this plan would render the
road hard and smooth. Notice how
the bottoms of ponds are made water
tight by the trampling of hogs and cat
tie, and other animals having split
hoofs. This could not be done by the
feet of horses and mules they having
solid hoofs compress the surface and
leave the clay undisturbed few inches
below, as does our common road roller.
The road must be kneaded, ground and
packed from the bottom upward in
layers so thin that the roller pene-
trates to the bottom of each, expelling
all the air and moisture. To keep the
surface of the road dry and hard, it
should have crown enough to make
the transverse grade greater than the
longitudinal grade which would run
the most of the water to the side
bitches. If the water be permitted to
run down the road constantly increas-
ing in volume and velocity, it will
wash away the best of roads.
Where the road is very steep, trans
verse ridges would assist in turning
the water TO the sides. Keeping the
ronds in repair should be the duty of
competent men, who should devote
their whole time to it. Roads can only
be made in warm weather and after
every rain this kneading roller should
be applied to harden and pack them;
the summer wind and sun would evap-
crate all the organic matter and
moisture, and the road would not heave
in the spring when the frost leaves the
ground; notice the soil in 4 hard, dry
bank where air and moisture do not
penetrate, no heaving there. l am in
clined to the belief that roads should
follow the natural lay of the country,
rather than direct lines which neces-
state deep cuts, ] write this not as
matured plan, but only as a suggestion,
and to call out the opinions and the re-
suit of the observations of others. -
