with gatling guns. + Both Of the old
parties are equally responsible for the
evils that have arisen since the war
They have both constantly increased
the burdens Of the industrial classes
for the benefit of those who prey upon
them. Both cater to the trusts and de-
pend upon the spoils system. The his
tory Of both of these old parties in all
our great cities conclusively proves the
truth of this statement It is unneces-
sary to refer to the countless examples
of collision with gas, railroad, tele-
phone, telegraph and banking schemes
to take advantage of the people, Every
one knows how these are patronized by
the minority rings controlling the ma
chinery of the Democratic and Republi-
can parties. Nor do we have to go back
of the last presidential election for our
illustrations to see what these parties
really are. The spoils element is the
power behind the throne in both Dem
Ocratlc and Republican camps That
spoils element holds President McKin-
ley by the throat and compells him,
even in the face of protestations of Re-
publican newspapers, to steal $40 900, 900
of the peoples money for the benefit
of the Morgan syndicate in the Union
Pacific DEAL rushed through before the
meeting of congress. It cannot be de-
MED by any man with a head on his
oh hat ha
east will never allow either of the old
parties to be dominated by the reforms
especially in inance, which character
lie the Peoples party. Therefore fusion
is idle talk; or. If it is not idle talk.
it lays the men indulging in it open to
serious suspicion.
What now? The cause of reform will
be most advanced by allowing those who
think they are Populists, but imagine
they can fuse with such parties, to fuse
with them. They must, however, re-
member that mo man can serve two
masters" and cease to call themselves
Populists. On the other hand individual
members of the old parties are fast
learning the same scriptural lesson, and
as they learn to hate mammon, they
leave the old parties to serve the cause
of the people.
Finally l do not wish to be understood
as opposing all fusion, in the narrow
sense of the Socialists, but only that
have not, with one exception, had, as
yet, any form of fusion presented to my
mind which appears feasible. That ex-
ception is presented in F. U. Adams ex-
cellent book, President John Smith,"
In this book the author recommends
Kidding the platform Of the many minor
planks which confuse the public mind,
causing bitter differences, and uniting
on only two principles, on which to in
itiate successful agreement. Without
these two planks no other reforms could
ever be enforced, the authors claims.
even If enacted. These two planks are
the right of the majority to rule initia-
tive and referendum with imperative
mandate), and the right of every man to
have work. Perhaps the author is right
in thus recommending a new party,
whenever the Peoples party shall have
finished its course. At any rate it is
remarkable that these are the very
planks 1.-The fusionists," in their loud and
multifarious professions have omitted.

A New Long Island Industry.

The owners of some of the farms
along the Nissequag river have under
consideration the starting of frog farm
on a large scale, according to the Brook
Ign Eagle. The lowlands and creeks are
admirably adapted for the raising of
frogs. One Of the farmers of that local
ity has secured an estimate by dealer
in frog legs in Fulton market that from
rs, 900 to 100, 900 pounds are handled
in that market every year The average
weight of the frog legs is but few
ounces and to supply the enormous
quantity requires several millions Of
frogs having an average weight of half
pound. The frog crop is as yet mostly
wild and the bulk of the supply comes
from the swamps of the south.
According to report of the fish COM
missioner, the starting Of frog farm
is very simple matter. Any small,
shallow pond will answer. 1t should be
surrounded with low, broad fence to
keep out snakes and small mammals
that are fond of the young frogs. The
real bullfrog, whose scientific name is
Rama catesbyana, is the variety to prop
agate The pond once stocked, there is
nothing further to do but keep the frogs
supplied with food and protected as far
as possible from their enemies. Given
plenty of live bugs and muddy bot
tom where the frogs can hibernate dur
ing the winter, they will grow and
multiply and become perpetual source
of income. One of the wholesale dealers
in frog legs in New York is quoted as
saying that the demand is practically
unlimited during the winter and early
spring, when the frogs are difficult to
get. .

Crimson Glover at the North.

The New Jersey experiment station
has shown by analysis that crop of
this clover six inches high has accumu
lated nitrogen per acre that would cost
SIS to buy, at 10 inches high $25. 90
per acre, while at full maturity it is
worth $50 per acre.
The Country Gentleman furnishes the
following points to be kept in mind in
sowing crimson clover for the north:
Get home grown seed, not imported,
sow early in July, and depend ON
growth only up to December. Sow only
with the object to improve the soil;
SOW to keep down weeds, and for win
previous cultivation the greater will be
the growth. 1t is adapted to all kinds
of soil, but especially to sandy soil. If
soil is rather poor, apply 800 pounds of
muriate of potash per acre to give it a
more vigorous start. If farmers will
study this plant and use it jodiciously,
it will be the cheapest way possible to
build up run down land Nitrogen, the
most expensive plant food, need not be
purchased, only potash and phosphoric
acid occasionally, thus saving much of
the present heavy outlay for CONNER
cial fertilizers.
Crimson clover should not be sown
In the north with the expectation of its
coming through the following spring.
While it will occasionally, with con-
tinued freezing and thawing it will
largely be killed.

HIRAM DARTS REFUSAL.
why He Did Not Marry the Charming

Why He Did Not Marry the Charming
Widow Breese.
When old Hiram Dart was in his sew
enty fifth year, the faithful old wife
who had been his companion for full
half century, sickened and died, and,
to the surprise and amusement Of his
rural neighbors, old Hiram set forth in
search of another wife before Hannah,
his first spouse, had been six weeks in
her grave.
He made no secret of the fact that he
was in the market" and seemed sur
prised that the bidders were SO few. He
attributed this fact to the general lack
of taste and Judgment in the ''wimmen
folks" of the present day.
'They re finicky lot anyhow" said
old Hiram, "an it comes O. this fool
new wimmen idee. I"
One day old Hiram drove by neigh
boris house all rugged up in his Sun
day best and with blue satin necktie
forming a marked contrast to the big
red geranium in his buttonhole. He
tarried for a moment at his neighbours
gate and frankly confessed that he was
''goin a sparkin.
The object of this amatory visitation
was the Widow Breese, who lived lover
Hebron way" and with whom old Hi
ram was wholly unacquainted. Some
one had, in spirit of either malice or
mischief, made old Hiram believe that
the Widow Breese, robust, well to do
woman Of about 60, would be inclined
to look with favor on Hiram's suit.
An it won't be no harm done to 60
an see her anyway" said Hiram, as he
drove away.
1t was nearly dark when Hiram reap
peared, far less buoyant than when he
went away. His neighbor was on the
lookout, and, hailing the old man, he
said:
"Well, Uncle Hiram. did the Widow
Breese refuse youf"
Not much She didn't retorted Hi
ram spiritedly. II refused her. %
"You refused her? Why. what do
you mean, Uncle Hiram?"
"Mean jess what l say refused the
old-old-cattymountl'
why, Uncle Hiram, is that a re-
spectful way to speak about lady?"
"A 'ladyl' Humph, great lady old
Jane Breese isl You call woman
lady who sails into Teller with
broomstick an calls i'm an ole fool an
SIGH like names?''
Ibid Mrs. Breese do that?''
''She jest did. | guess she'd got wind
that l was comm, for I'd hardly inter-
doosed myself an began to state my biz
ness when she flew at me with broom
stick an drenohed me with hot water an
sicked her dawg on me an jawed the
worst ever herd. | jess waited till she
got through, an then up an told her
pint blank that l wouldn't have her If
she was the last woman on top of the
earth. Yes, sir; refused her jest that
pint blank. Detroit Free Press.

Treatment of AlkaIi Land.

"Will any form of potash, such as
wood ashes, etc., improve or enrich
soils that show white alkali on the sur
face in the spring? put on from 80 to
80 tons Of stable manure per acre. "
Thus writes perplexed Colorado farmer
to Rural New Yorker. Following is the
reply:
The wood ashes would not be likely
to benefit such soils, except as they sup
ply potash. The sulphate of potash
would do better, but sulphate Of lime
or land plaster" would do as well and
be much cheaper. If the drainage of this
land is good, you can wash most of the
alkali out by irrigating it. The object
in using the plaster is to change the
form Of this alkali so that it will dis
solve and wash away.

The Rhine FortIfications.

The early Romans found the swift
current of the Rhine sufficient defense
against the gigantic Germans, but to
protect the peaceful settlers against all
possible danger every ford on the upper
Rhine and every convenient crossing
place ON the lower stream was fortified,
and thus chain of posts was extended
from the sea to Strasburg.

MATURING FOR CORN.
Barnyard Manures and Chemical Fen
lizers-How to ApDly Them.

Hzers-HoW to Apply Them.
Country Gentleman reminds Maine
farmer that there is such thing as
overfertilizing for oorn and suggests
the possibility that stable manure will
furnish all the plant food required. In
fertilizing corn there should usually be
furnished about the following quaint
ties of the three elements per acre:
Nitrogen .................. 10 to % pounds
Phosphoric acid ............-.-. 70 to % pounds
Potash ..........................5 80 to rs pounds
An average sample of we'll preserved
barn manure mixed would analyze about
as follows:
Nitrogen. Observation-Disclosures. O.5O per cent
Phosphoric acid (total) ........... 0.S2 per cent
Potash. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. DAB per cent
Owing to the amount of litter ordi-
narily used and to more or less waste
in the preservation of barn manures the
authority quoted says that it is safer in
estimating it's fertilizing value to cal
culate at about one half the above per-
centages given. Estimating its value in
this way, tons of barn manure per
acre would furnish to the corn 80
pounds of nitrogen, 1912 pounds of
phosphoric acid (total) and 25.8 pounds
of potash.
Enough nitrogen has been supplied in
the barn manure to meet the ordinary
demands of the plant and to furnish
which in the form of nitrate of soda
would require about 400 pounds.
1t will be noticed that there is def
cheney in the other two elements-phos-
phoric acid and potash. These may
properly be supplied by commercial fer
tilizers. To furnish the to 10 pounds
of additional phosphoric acid required,
apply dissolved phosphate rock at the
rate of from 90 to 100 pounds per acre.
To supply the additional % to so
pounds of potash, apply muriate of pot
ash at the rate of 80 to 100 pounds per
acre.
The chemical fertilizer had better be
applied in the drill. 1t is needed where
it will be quickly available for the
plants use, so that when growth COM
mences the easily digested food is near
at hand. If sown broadcast. though it
is true the plant would probably get
nearly all of it during the season,
it would not get it at the time when
most urgently in need.
We would emphasize the Importance
of most thorough tillage in connection
with the use of fertilizers What the
plant ordinarily needs is more moisture
instead Of more plant food. BY frequent
shallow surface culture moisture is not
only conserved for the plant, but poten-
tial plant food is made available.

Here is what Editor Hutchinson in
The Review says his experience has
been with drawn combs:
l have for years saved the half finish
ed sections from the previous year and
used them in the spring to give the bees
a start in the supers have never had
enough to give a case to each colony. If
had enough to give half of the colo
MES these half drawn combs, / did well.
In this way l have had ample opportu-
nifty to note the value of drawn combs
in this particular place.
AS rule, colony given case of
drawn combs will fill those combs with
honey and have them sealed and ready
to come off, and will have commenced
work in the case of sections furnished
with foundation that has been placed
beneath the case of drawn combs by
the time similar colony will have
commenced work in a case of sections
simply furnished with foundation. In
my experience a case of drawn combs
in the spring is as valuable as case of
finished sections, as it enables me to get
one more case of honey from that colony.
Nay, more, the giving of these combs
relieves the pressure upon the brood nest
and results in the brood combs being
more perfectly filed with brood at
time when more brood means more
workers in the Eastwood harvest.
