example, a prohibition lighthouse
rather than a whisky weathercock.
When Mr.. Murphy has got Topeka into
a halfway decent shape, and her
whisky breath sufficiently disguised so
that visitors will no longer get drunk
by breathing its atmosphere, Mr..
Murphy viii find in Wichita a field
''white unto the harvest" and under
anything but drouthy conditions.
There are a few, not many, but still
quite a number of gentlemen in this
community who should be aroused to
a more thorough appreciation Of the
fact that the bite Of the serpent and
the sting of the adder, regularly half
dozen times every day, tells after a
while, and that a full city treasury
won't ease their pain little bit. They
will not all, probably, sign Mr..
Murphy's pledge, but his talk may
make them pause. They should be
convinced, deep down in their inner
consciences, that the whisky canal,
that rum route to hell, IL direct, short
and rapid, is not without its ''bars"
and snags. Still we would not have
him do this at the expense of Topeka,
but after he has done all that it is pos
sible to do for hypocritical ungodliness,
which will not be much, in all probable
ity, save those tears, and they may be

Feeding Market Gardens

The old idea that fertilizers were not
adapted to market gardening, was long
ago exploded by the practical exper-
ience of the big market gardeners near
our large cities and by the truck farm
ers IN the South. Cabbage, celery,
spinach and similar leafy vegetables
depend for quality upon quick growth,
and ii results only from plenty of
soluble plant food in the soil. "a slow
growth is usually tough, duh and rusty
while quick growth is tender, bright
and crisp" Only by filling the soil
with decomposed stable manure in
excess of what the crops need, can the
needed supply Of available plant food
be obtained from manure. Usually II Is
cheaper and more satisfactory to feed
these market garden crops with ferti-
lizers than to buy horse manure at
high prices and haul or ship it long
distances. England Homestead.

Rhubarb as a Vegetable.

After the rhubarb has served its pur-
pose by giving US its leafstalks in early
spring, it often throws up an immense
bunch of flowers. An English writer
states that if this head of flowers is cut
off, and treated like caulifiower, it is
just as good and desirable. One would
suppose that there was something of
the acid taste of the stalks in this
flower head; but this writer says not.
Many plants have a great difference
between the elements in their flowers
or fruit and the leaves. We can, for
instance, eat a tomato, and find it both
healthful and az Feeable: but five were
to venture to eat handful of tomato
leaves, they would probably be the end
of US. Those who are on the lookout
for new vegetables might, however,
make trial of the rhubarb flowers. 1t
may be noted that the tomato is very
closely related to the tobacco, and
equally poisonous with that celebrated
plant. .Mechdn's Monthly.
