SOME GARDEN NOTES.
July Plantings-Irish Potatoes and
Tomatoes.

Tomatoes.
am planting our second crop of Irish
potatoes a little earlier than | ever did
before. To-day. July 5, l concluded I
would risk half bushel of seed that had
accumulated in the past two or three
weeks. They were culls aud averaged
smaller than any half bushel ever planted
They range in size from a common marble
to that of a walnut A few days ago,
after a shower, prepared plat that
was just vacated by potatoes and early
corn. The burrows were all laid
on; found the soil pretty
dry was in no hurry to plant so small
plat. So proceeded more slowly and
deliberately than 1 usually do.
| made boy go ahead and dig holes
along every feet. Into each hole 1
dropped two potatoes-one large and one
small-placing them about inches apart
Then drew down about 2 inches of loose
soil and stamped it firmly on the seed.

and planted hill of sofa beans between
each hill Of potatoes, dropping three seed

Planting corn roc peeply.

The seed bed cannot be made too mellow
for corn, but making it loose and plia BILE
necessitates care not put the seed in
too deeply. An inch in depth If the soil
is loose and moist is deeper than is neces-
sary. With the drill the depth may be
regulated, but it is one of the disadvant-
ages of drilling that when the field is har-
rowed after planting this operation fills
the hollows in which thetseed is deposited
and covers them too deeply. Where the
marker is used, the more mellow the soil
the deeper is the furrow made, and this,
too, puts the seed grain lower down. The
corn roots, even in midsummer, mostly
run within three or four inches of the
surface and when the seed is planted
their tendency is to run nearer. the sur
face than that.

Don't Kill the Paatura.

Close grazing is ruinous to any field and
in the end there is no economy in it. If
ones fields are so restricted that the ami
mails have to crop the grass close in order
to get living, it is advisable to sell some
of them. BY killing the goose that lays
the golden egg we are sure to cut off our
income for the future. 1t has been dem
onstrated at the experiment stations that
by feeding grain to cows while they re
being pastured, we not only save the pas
ture land, but in the end save money. A
little grain fed to the dairy cows every
day during the pasturing makes the
cream richer and the butter much supe-
rior than if giving nothing but grass, IL is
against the ideas of most farmers, how
ever, to be using up grain when good
grass is here. In fact, it will be hard
work to convince many that there is any
gain from such apparent waste of feed.
+ or generations past their fathers raised
good milk. cream and butter from grass
and coTnstalk all through the warm
months, and they think there is no reason
why they should not, but just the same,
the well-kept dairy of today produces
nearly twice as much cream as those old
cows of our forefathers, aud the cost of
scientific feeding is no greater. The day
may come when it will cost more on the
old farm to feed good grass than to give
an exclusive grain diet to cows.--Ex.

behind with his lame leg braced in front.
also have mare with bighead,
Can you give me any remedy for either
trouble? j. w. MARABLE.
Suwannee, Fla.
Our correspondent does not make his
description very Ineligible. If there is a
reliable veterinary surgeon near you we
would advise you to consult him, as he
could locate the trouble exactly
Stife is caused by various acct
dents 1t can not be perma-
nently cured without rest.
You do not say how long the animal has
been affected, whether you work him or
not, and how readily the joint gets out or
in place. When the dislocation occurs
put strap about the fetlock and tie a
rope TO il and pass it up between under
the forelegs, and attach the end of the
rope to a collar. Force the leg forward,
and by pressing on the The pat t.
into position. The thing is then to keep
it there, which of course can not be done
if the ANIMAL is allowed to move about. A
blister applied to the Joint win frequently
be beneficial.
Bighead is generally regarded as an in
cura BILE disease. DIR. Stewart, however,
has cured numbe of cases by the follow
of six to ten days
Every other or every third day apply
corrosive liniment to the affected part
Every other day for week give in a
meal or bran mash, tablespoonful of pull
verified jimpson weed seeds. After giving
four doses, stop.a week, then give three
or four more doses. The animal should
be allowed to run in pasture as much as
possible, or have green food in stable, and
should be worked very little while being
treated. Any druggist can put you up
the liniment as follows:
Corrosive sublimate, one part.
Alcohol, eight parts
AS this is poisonous, be careful with it.
If your animal is valuable, it will be
worth treating her.
To apply the liniment make a mop by
rolling strip of cloth on the end ola
stick. Dip the mop into the liniment and
rub each side of the head and jaw with it
freely.
In lieu of this sometimes fly blister
may be used with better effect, rubbing
it in thoroughly. This must not be done
OlUener IMAM once IN TWO or Jhree weeks.
Two days after blistering, rub the head
freely with some clean grease. To make
the blister, take one part of spanish flies
and mix with eight parts of vaseline.
Mere local applications will not cure
Internal medicine must be given also, and
so far as is known the jimpson weed seeds
is the very best for the purpose The

meantime you might give the mare three

willing to accept even that if the bill
can be pushed to its passage at once.
If we cannot obtain what we want,
let us be wise and take what we can
get, and that without making a fuss
about it. We advise laboring people who
cannot secure work at high wages to ac-
cept reduced rates And we endorse the
axiom that "haIf a loaf is better than
no bread" We take the tariff bill in
the same spirit. If the Democrats of
the United States Senate agree to it,
we think the great masses of the party
will do the same. Why should we raise
howl against it, seeing that anything
but compromise measure is at the
present time an utter impossibility. OF
course by that we mean a compromise
among Democrats.
1t may be called a. protective measure
by Republicans if they choose to so
denounce it. But if while doing so they
oppose its passage, they expose their
usual insincerity and Inconsistency.
We say it is not protectionist meas
ure, neither is it a free trade measure.
The Democratic party does not want
either, nor did it demand either when
it went before the country in 1892.
What was promised the people and what
they voted for was tariff reform. The
Wilson bill with all its amendments is
tariff reform measure, and when it is
completed after action by both Houses
of Congress it will be open to criticism
from friend and foe. Now we call for
action on the bill without longer delay.
We do not regard the denunciation
by any Democrat of measure which
the party accepts, as of benefit to the
cause of Democracy: We see no sense
in echoing the cries of the enemy or in
playing into the hands of the foe. Any
thing fagrantly wrong in the party
should be exposed in the party and the
evil be rectifed within its ranks. But
attacks on the party from its own ad-
heTehls are IN tne nature OF AID and
comfort to the hostiles, and that is
political treason.
The reductions made from the Nc
Kinley bill are material and sweeping.
If they are not so slashing as would
suit some of us, our wisest course is to
be glad of what is done at the first at
tempt, and hopefully look to further
effort in the same direction. when the
good resulting from this measure has
been demonstrated. Pass the BILL
should be the cry of every Democrat
who can make his voice heard, for that
is what Republicans do not want, and
that is essential to Democratic success.

THE AMENDED TARIFF BILL.

There are no doubt many Democrats
who dislike the amendments which
have been offered in the Senate to the
Wilson tariff bill. The position taken
by The Herald on this matter is that
occupied by the majority of the party
and the wisest thing among its leaders
While the different sections of the coun-
try, with their diversified interests, de-
mand something to suit the industries
therein established, and there is a dis
position 10 accommodate them as much
as possible, bill such as some dyed
in-the-wool Democrats desire is out OF
the question. Therefore we must be
content TO take such a measure as is
likely to become a law.
Sectionalism is to be deplored, but ii
lis something that cannot be ignored
Take our own case as an example in
relation to another question. Utah
would have the free coinage Of silver
restored Immediately, if it had it's way
other parts of the country do not want
free coinage. Some sections support the
gold standard, others that kind of bi-
metallism which includes silver as cur.
rency to a limited extent. Others al
an increased ratio with gold And still
Others only at a ratio fixed by inter
national agreement. Which Of these
views is to prevail? The silver pro.
ducers would probably be glad to agree
on almost any definite plan which
would place the silver industry on a
solid foundation.
The Herald does not endorse all the
changes that have been made in the
Wilson bill. It has never looked upon
the original bill as a perfect tariff
measure. But the necessity of the pas
sage of reform bill is so urgent that
we take the ground assumed by the
business men of New York. and say,
let US nave it passed, no matter if 1t
does contain provisions that do not
please us, if that is the best that can
be done by the present Congress. The
New Workers are vehemently opposed
to the income tax provision. but are

sense suggests that when high wages

lesser prices should be accepted. And

every worker must be protected in his
liberty to labor for such compensation
as he is ready to receive. Anything
contrary to that must sooner or later
go down to ignominous death.
