WHAT BRYAN THINKS OF 1T
He is an Administration Man FO
War Purposes. at Least.


Atlanta Ga, March 9.-HonOrabie
William ]. Bryan spent a few hours in
Atlanta today. on his way to Macon,
where he spoke tonight When asked his
opinion as regards the action of congress
in placing $50, 900 at the presidents dis
posal for the national defense, Mr.. Bryan
said:
Il am glad the house acted promptly.
In fact it might have been better TO have
made it a hundred millions. to show the
world that congress and the American
people, without regard TO political differ
ences, are ready 70 support the admins
tration in any action necessary for the
protection of the honor and welfare Of
the nation"
Does this appropriation mean war;"
Not necessarily" replied Mr.. Bryan.
Instead of leading to war, a prompt lib
crafty at this time may lessen the prob
ability Of war. and in the end prove a
wise economy"
He praised Consul General Lee, saying
he had performed his duty with great
ability, courage and discretion under Try
ing circumstances.

TOMATOES AND POTATOES.

Tomatoes can be grown more cheaply
than potatoes, and at the same prices per
bushel the vegetable grown above ground
pays better than the other. The chief cost
of the tomato is the waste that is in
Cured in the marketing of the crop. In
the hands of dealers the tomatoes often
shrivel and become unstable, and this Of
course adds to the selling price of what
can be marketed. But where canneries
take the crop as fast as it is ripened. the
managers find that they can induce the
growing Of tomatoes by the acre at much
lower prices than most farmers thought it
would cost to produce them.-American

WHAT BECOMES OF PINS?

Who has not heard the question: What
becomes of all the pins?" Millions OF them
are made in a year, millions are sold, and
yet the supply no more than keeps pace
with the demand, which seems growing
enormously all the time. By computa-
ton made ten yaers ago it was shown that
at that time the weekly production of pins
in Great Britain was 80, 600 900. Then 120,
100000 were made in France. and 120, 900. 900
in Germany, Holland and Belgium. Since
that time the production OF pins has in
creased largely. The biggest pin manu-
featuring city in the world is Birmingham
where 100000 pins on the average are
manufactured every working day. The
other pin factories in England together
turn out about 10, 600. 900 pins daily. The
daily output of pins IN France exceeds
DO0O,000 and Germany and other countries
in Europe manufacture about 10000, 600
more daily, the total production of pins
being $500 900 every day-602, 900, 900 a week
in Europe. This is, of course. exclusive
of the factories in the United States which
number As, giving employment to 1900 per-
sons, and turning out in yeaer pins TO
the value of about 81, 100000. 1t is calcu
lated that only about 1 per cent. of the
pins manufactured are worn out or broken
the other SO per cent. are lost.

AGAINST sUB-sOILING.

Sub-soiling is a matter which has its adj
vocates but many scientific agricultural
lists oppose it. 1t is claimed that although
the sub-soil plow breaks the soil at a low
depth, yet it destroys the channels which
admit the flow of theair and water below
the surface. That is, as plant roots pene-
trate deeply and die they leave channels
which are numerous and which are in
creased every year. Breaking the soil de-
stroys them and lessons the supply of
moisture.

Topics Of Domestic Circle
BEGINNING A GARDEN.

A garden is not complete unless it con-
tains a full variety of vegetables. 1t
should not contain anything that is not
desired. Peas should be grown for early
medium and late pickings, and early and
late cabbages should be in the lists. To-
matoes are essential in all gardens. The
tomato is plant that will have blossoms
and fruit at all stages of growth, even 10
ripening at the same time bearing a con-
tinuous crop until frost There is nothing
so easily grown as early beets, and they
are luxurious compared with the field
kinds. Carrots and parsnips are favorites
with many, but the seeds should be plant
ed early. A hundred strawberry plants
vii lentail little or no labor, and are not
only ornamental, but useful in a garden.
Before next spring the bed will multiply
to over thousand plants. They should
be set out as early as the land will per-
nit. Unless the garden is large such crops
as sweet corn and potatoes should be
omitted. Try one or two plants, for ex-
pertinent, Of pepper, okra egg plant and
caulifiower, if not accustomed to growing
such, and they will surrey be added to the
crops next year. The greater the variety
the more enjoyment with a garden.
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1898-03-11
ACRE SUPPORTS A COW.

1t is claimed that we have not yet
reached that stage of progress where an
acre of land will support COW one pear;
that is, without purchasing other food
than that grown on the land, yet it is
done in Europe, because every square inch
of the land is utilized and kept up to the
highest degree of fertility. Il is not diff
cult TO make an acre support COW, but
it is not always profitable to do so, as the
labor required to care for one cow is as
great as that necessary for several. 1t
is believed that so acres can be made to
proftably support 50 cows, however, by
judicious distribution of labor but the
profits will depend on the kind of cows.
1t is the cost of labor that makes the.
expenses so heavy and reduces the profits.

ALL ABOUT VEGETABLES.


The watercress and the sourdock, which
centuries wasted as weeds before they
were put on the table of civilized man.
Lentils, which came from the Himala
vas, were probably the first plants man
ever cultivated. The lentil is cultivated in
India, Persia, Syria, Egypt. Nubia and
parts of Europe
Celery was unnoticed for many years
in Great Britain, until it was finally put on
the table as a choice dainty.
Asparagus has always been a favorite.
1t was originally wild seacoast weed of
Great Britain and Russia, and the Greeks
and Romans were very found of it. 1t is
closely related to the famous asphodel,
which the ancients supposed was the lead
ing flower of elysium. Asparagus is SO
plentiful on the Russian sleeps that the
cattle eat it like grass. In some parts OF
Southern Europe the seeds are dried and
used as a substitute for coffee.
The tomato is native to Mexico and
South America. 1t takes its name from
Portuguese word.
Beans, native to Europe and the East
midas, have been cultivated from the ear
lest times. The pea is a native of Asia,
and was brought by the Aryans into Italy
and Greece.
The turnip came from Rome. Spinach
is from Persia, brought into Spain by the
Arabs. Lettuce comes from the east, and
the ancients called it the food of the dead.

teract the heating effects of the wine.
