There are many live stock and grain
farmers in the west WHO should 90
some gardening in connection With
their general farm work. This garden
ing will be found very satisfactory, 1of
it will, in the first place, afford very
important home supply of the most
acceptable food, and, in the second
Mace. the returns from the sale OF good
Vegetables 10 ones neighbOrs and
| friends, or i'm the nearest town or city,
will afford a considerable item in the
effort to make farming pay in these
dull times when cereal markets are so
depressed.
Select for garden the best piece OF
land on the farm. Let it be smooth,
level and in a good state of tillage. Ii
| it be near barn or stable so much the
better, as it will be less work to draw
on the manure, and, being near the
water tank, it can be irrigated in dry
time.
To grow good, tender. succulent vege-
tables very liberal quantities of rich
manure are to be applied, and the soil
is to be kept in a fairly moist condition,
as moisture is absolutely required to
enable the plant to appropriate the
needed fertility from the soil. No
fertilizer is better for the garden than
rich, well-rotted, fine horse or COW
dung. Avoid the application of course,
strawy manure, as this has tendency
to make air spaces in the soil, cut Oft
capillary action, and cause the ground
to dry out too rapidly.
Do not be afraid to put on the ma
nure, no matter if you think your
land in pretty good shape; neverthe-
less, put on ten or twelve cords OF cords
of manure per acre, for this manure is
Just what will stimulate rapid, quick
growth of stem and leaf, and is what
makes the same juicy and tender.
Remember that there is little hard
labor even in garden culture if you but
Law out your garden rows of good
length, and place them wide enough
apart to admit the passage between OF
horse and cultivator. The horse now
does most of the work in the garden,
if one will but let him.
Be sure and prepare the soil III the
very best possible way, for the effects
of thorough spring preparation are to
be seen all through the period OF
growth of the crop. Good tlllage at
first means reduced labor in cultivat-
ing the crop ever afterward. So piow
and harrow, and drag or roll and har-
row repeatedly. The drag or roller
following the harrow is very effective
in breaking up the clods and making
the soil as fine as sand.
When it comes to seed. buy the best
and surest, although you may and
probably will have to pay more for it
than at the corner grocery. Grocery
seed is too often wholly or partially,
old and inferior, and, after your care
full preparation of the garden, you can
not afford to risk any chances what
ever. 1t is a good plan to order your
seed direct from some of the seed grow
ers and reputable seedsmen who now
advertise so generally. as man or
company that places its own name
upon a package of seed will see to it
that 1t is good seed.-Wiiliam p. Per

THE orange and lemon crop Of Cali
fOrnia has become so important that
the reasonable representations Of Cali
fornians as to the present needs of the
industry deserve favorable considers
ton in the senate. They object to the
proposed measurement plan as tending
to give an unfair advantage to Mexican
shippers, and ask that the duty, in
stead Of being levied on the cubic foot
of space occupied by the citrus fruit,
should be levied OH its weight. Moth
ing would seem fairer than this. They
also think that the tariff ought to be
a cent a pound instead of three-fourths
of a cent; and this, too, is believed to
be moderate and deserved.

The Official Paper of San Juan County
THURSDAY. MAY 9Th, 1897.
TIE TIDE LAAD MATTER AGAIN.

When THE ISLANDER took the liber-
ty to suggest that All effort should be
made by the commissioners of the
county to effect settlement of the tide
land complication without having
recourse to the courts. and later eX-
pressed the opinion that the commits
siOners had made a mistake by lnsti-
tutIng a contest without first ascertain
ing upon what terms a settlement with
the applicant might be made, it did so
with the understanding that he had
made an offer covering all water front
AUDITING the county's upland. We
now understand, however, that the
proposition of Mr.. Earle to settle with
the county did not include the most
valuable portions of the water front
which are occupied by tenants of the
county under lease, and that it was
because he proposed to first extract the
milk from the cocoanut and sell the
county the shell that the commission
ers ignored the Overtures which he
claims he made and instituted a con-
test against the application. The
ISLANDERS interest i'm the matter is
simply the interest of other taxpayers
to see the county get out of the scrape
in the most economical and satisfactory
way possible, and we repeat that we
believe the commissioners and attorney
have done and will do what they fully
believe to be best under all the circum-
stances, and that they have been and
will be disposed to act in the utmost
good faith toward all parties concerned.

THE Cartoon bill is now tit subject

is a failure, being corpse without

Hides.

The Massachusetts, boot and shoe manu-
facturers arc very much opposed to the pro-
posed duty on hides. They are making very
pretty fight for the purpose of having hides
kept on tho free list. Yet tho Western
cattle men fail to see why they should not
be protected. For the purposes of revenue,
q duty on hides is beyond criticism. 1t
can be defended as measure of protection
and as measure of revenue. The Western
people will be likely to say to their Massa-
chusetts brethren, Because protection has
been such good thing for you that you can
afford to be free traders, at our expense,
are we to give up our claims to protectionT
1t must be admitted that the Massachu-
setts brethren are inconsistent. Still, they
are not to be blamed. When new taxes
are to be imposed, everybody is naturally
anxious to save his own hide; and 30 Mas.
sachusetts just at present is considerably
more concerned for its own hide than for
the hides of the cattle on a thousand hills.
