PopuIlst DUTY.

The main object sought by the
Peoples party is reform. The cen
trail idea Of the party is monetary re-
form. Clustered around monetary re-
form are all other reforms
The Peoples party believes lha,
there should be enough money to
transact business on practically a
cash basis, 1t believes that the mon
cy should be in the hands Of the peo-
pie and not hoar,lcd in the treasury
and III bank vaults. 1t believes tha,
the money should al have the same
Legal tender character SO that the
bond holders would have to take the
saInc kind of money that the laboror
has to take. 1t is morally certain
that more money in circulation means
more prosperity. Upon these pro
positions the party is either right or
wrong. If right it should be sustain
ed, if wrong it should be defeated
The duty Of a populist is to sustain
his principles If YOU believe in
more money and more posperity then
vote it, ltis by voting for it that YOU
will get it, As long as the people
vote for less money and hard times
they should not complain when they
Get them. If YOU want better times
cast your ballot in that direction

The plain ordinary passenger does Now, there are only a limited number of people who want ''limited' trains. The number who will travel in an or dinary way if fares are cheap enough is unlimited. If three hour train between New York and Philadelphia at Sl were run twice day it would be damned. The trains on which dol- lar extra k paid often lack full load. The Hungarian plan succeeds not because of uniform fares, but because of low fares for the most ordinary ac- cancellations and low rate of speed. Travel doubled in few months and has gone on rising month by month. The roads are making money and the habit of travel is widening and extend ing.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

SPRING blowing does not hurt an old
orchard if shallow.
CHERRY trees do we'll in sod. No
other fruit trees will.
Touch sod will do in an orchard if
half killed out by a biennial coat of
strawy manure.
SPRAY first when the leaves are two
thirds grown; second. Immediately after
the blossoms fall; then three times more
two weeks apart
FEW choice plants may be protected
from cut worms by wrapping the stem
with smooth writing paper. Let it ex-
tend half an inch or more below the
surface.
By cutting or pinching out the fruit
stems of newly-set strawberry plants,
the plants are forced to stool out. and
thus a stronger growth is secured for
next seasons fruitage.

The early gardener catches the cut
worm. His best work is done at night

II Good Milk supply Is Wanted Food
Must Re Given Regularly.
Writing from New Jersey dairyman
says: 4 COW giving twenty-five pounds
of milk day while being fed at milk
ing. fell off to a quarter of that weight
in three weeks by having the time
of feeding changed. and being MIXED
by other hands. Both exerted their
special influence. But what was I'M
usual was the regaining the former
quantity of milk by again receiving the
former ration at milking time and be-
ing again MIXED by the accustomed
mixer. Another COW that had yielded
a large daily quantity of milk, having
greatly fallen off in her milk, was fed
at milking times. and. though MIXED
by the same man as formerly, regained
her usual flow and quantity of milk.
The ration at milking time must have
brought the change. A large Short
horn COW owned by a mixer and dis
tiller was fed a good, rich slop at milk
ing time every day. which caused her
overlooked the pail. This COW, at the
death of the mixer. passed into the
hands of a neglectful party and soon
dwindled to a poor mixer. The expe-
rience of those owning extraordinary
mixers will bear testimony to the good
effect of liberal feeding at the time of
milking. The family COW, generally.
is thus fed, and the average family cow
is the largest mixer. The contentment
of feeding COW causes her to give
down her milk in free and full measure.
Kind treatment, at the same time, is
paid for in milk. Cows thus managed
will, doubtless. pay a larger percentage
of animal profit than any other cows
not thus fed and treated. Many of our
best dairy cows are injured by rough
handling.

4 Vegetable Mongrel Called Potomato by
Prof. Bailey.
Prof l.. n. Bailey, in Bulletin No.
81, issued by Cornell University ex-;i
pertinent station, gives description
of tomato-potato gratis Many state
ments have been made through the
press concerning the migrating of to-
matoes and potatoes, and great results
are expected, although some of these
results will undoubtedly be dlsappolnt-
ing One correspondent says that Prof.
Bailey has reached the point of naming
his mongrel "potomato," and from it
expects to reap compound crops of to-
matoes and potatoes. This grating is
not a new thing, nor is there anything
mysterious about it. In the expert
ments referred to tomatoes were graft
ed on potatoes and potatoes on to-
matoes- The tomato on potato graft
bore tubers and a crop of tomatoes, but
the plant which bore the best crop of
tomatoes bore no tubers on the potato
roots. The vitality of the plant was
apparently concentrated in the tomato
top.
The potato on tomato plants pro-
duced no potatoes. They bloomed free
IL but produced no balls, not because it
was on the tomato but because OF the
fact that few modern varieties pro-
duce seed. Prof. Bailey also describes
a new food plant, Stachys doridana, a
member of the mint family. In gener-
al appearance the plant is much like
the Chorogi (Stachys Sieboldii) which
is sold as an esculent by most seeds
men. 1t is more slender in appearance
and has long-stalked, heart-shaped
leaves The tubers are produced free
ly and are larger than in that species.
They are from four to six inches long
and have an excellent flavor. As yet
the plant has not been grown out of
doors at Ithaca, but Prof Bailey hopes
to make some experiments with it this
year. Concerning its prospects he says:
Il expect that the plant will be able to
endure our winters with the protection
of mulch, for tubers which have been
frozen grow readily. There is every
prospect that this interesting species
will add another attractive vegetable
to those now in our gardens"
