Sailing the wild Carrot.

''Can anybody explain why our farm
ers are so reckless concerning the en-
croachments of weeds?' asks Farm
and Fireside correspondent. 1.-THE wild
carrot might easily have been headed
off if we had the right sentiment among
our landowners The only difficulty
now in eradicating it is the fact that
there is so much of it. 1t is easily pull
ed before going to seed. would much
rather deal with it than with the hawk
weed which is spreading through the
fields of New York state and elsewhere.
The best way of dealing with this pest,
as well as with the moneywort, where
it gets lodged in the lawns, is to SOW
literally with salt. Buy barrel or
more of damaged salt which you can
generally find at any country store and
obtain for less than half price. While
the salt kills the weeds it fertilizes the
grass. Apply three or four times in or
der to thoroughly reach every plant and
root. A"

EXTRA EARLY TOMATOES.
Dwarf Sorts Started Under Glass In
January and February.

January and February.
The idea of utilizing tomato varieties
Of the dwarf champion type for the
purpose of raising extra early tomatoes
is considered by T. Greiner in The Farm
and Fireside. He finds the two most
promising sorts among these to be Ford
hook Fancy, with purplish fruit, and
another new kind, the Ideal, which has
red fruit Plants of either may be start
ed very early under glass, and if given
half a chance will make good, stiff
strong plants that can be transplanted
to open ground at the regular season
while in bloom or even fruit with
out suffering the least check in growth
He says: "This year (1899) shall SOW
the seed in fats some time in January,
and for later lot some time in Febru-
airy. hope to be able to have ripe to-
matoes in June have had them year
after year as early as July A, and
plenty of them in the latter part of that
month
From the originator of the Fordhook
Fancy Mr.. Greiner has received an in
teresting letter, in which the following
occurs: Some time during the past
year wrote you that intended to try
your plan of raising early tomatoes
namely, by using the dwarf kinds and
growing them under glass as long as
possible thinking that the dwarfs would
grow to much greater age with less
trouble than the large kinds. The plan
succeeded much to my satisfaction and
profit. l started my plants early in
March, and they did not draw or get
leggy by the time for setting out, about
the middle of May to the 1st of June. /
picked my first ripe tomatoes July s,
and commenced selling the 18th. For
about a month / had the control of
this small market, or until Aug. Is,
and up to that time my tomatoes sold
for 3 cents pound, or 81. so bushel.
Then they dropped to so cents, and
finally got down to 20 cents. My profit
came from my early tomatoes. My
plants produced abundantly in the lat
ter part of the season. 1t seems as if
those that produced the earliest fruit
gave also the most late fruit
uSeu uWdrI Il OrunOOK FanCy. IL
appears to me to have several points
ahead Of the old Dwarf Champion. The
fruit is larger and of better shape. The
plants are more compact and are more
upright, and seemed to be slow to throw
out laterals, so that the first fruit set
gets the whole strength of the plant. 1t
sets fruit under circumstances that the
Dwarf Champion will not, as this does
not seem to produce enough pollen to
.fertilize itself until it gets to growing
thriftily. This | believe to be an i'm
portant point with an early tomato.
81 have seen a new dwarf which
might be called Dwarf Early Advance.
Like the Early Advance, it grows its
fruit in clusters and seems to set its
fruit under almost all circumstances. l
tried the Ideal you sent me last spring
and find it very fine red dwarf, one
of the best l have ever seen, and am
certain it will be of value where such

are now in India 5000, 900 acres de
voted to it's cultivation either alone or
as bycrop with wheat. Next to the
cereals gram forms the largest part of
the food used in India and in portions
of northern Africa. Spain and other
countries bordering on the Mediter-
ranean.
This plant is a branching annual,
with many upright stems from the
same root. The leaves resemble those of
the vetch, having seven pairs of small
leaflets. These are oblong, soft, hairy all
over, one-half inch long or less, and
sharply toothed ON the margins. The
flowers are borne singly in the axis of
the leaves on short stalks about one
half inch long. The pods are bladdery,
inflated; from one-half to three-fourths
of an inch long and finely pubescent,
with glandular hairs. Each pod con
tains one, or very rarely two, large
Seeds which are wrinl1led and bear a
fanciful resemblance to a rams horn,
whence the Latin name arietinum The
seeds are q little larger than those of
the common garden pea, to which they
are quite similar.
The Idaho pea was cultivated in 1856
and 1896 at the Colorado experiment
station. Professor Cooke states that it
''has demonstrated its ability to make
a large growth with plenty of water
and fair growth with very limited
supply. 1t belongs to the pea family,
and is grown in rows 80 inches apart,
and the plants go to 10 inches apart in
the rows Its growth indicates that it
can be raised for about l cent pound.
About 80 to so pounds of seed are
used per acre, depending upon whether
1t is sown in drills or broadcast All
authorities agree that it is better suited
to arid and semiarid regions than to
humid ones, the crop apparently re-
curing u great many sunny days dur
ing its season of growth. Better results
are obtained in growing it with irriga-
ton than without, although it makes a
fair yield ON comparatively dry soils.
If continued experiments with this
plant in the west prove that its average
yield is as high as has been claimed, it
will undoubtedly prove valuable ad-
dition to the list of forage plants suit
able to semiarid regions.
The gram plant is very sensitive to
cold The seed should be sown not ear
lier than May 10, or, at the higher alti-
tudes, about the list of June, and if
some of the short season varieties are
procured there will be less danger of
their being caught by early frosts.
Gram is sown in India as winter crop,
1t is said to be adapted to almost any
soil from light sandy to heavy clay OF
loan, apparently preferring the latter.
1t might prove of some value in parts
of the southern states as winter crop
and soil cover ON lands which are I'M
suited to the vetches and the crimson
clover. 1t requires only moderate
amounts of moisture and is said to be
injured by prolonged cloudy weather OF
abundant rains, which cause it to flow
or prematurely and thus materially af-
fects the yield of seed,

The Idaho pea is being talked of
lately as new forage plant, and its

of its seeds for horse feed and as sub
stitute for coffee From the forage

4 reaction has now taken place.
The miners union has already
scored a victory by the fall OF the
forced scheme upon the heads OF
the pro noters. 1t is not possible
now to determine where the mat
ter will end, whether Generals
Merriam and Hays Will be
prosecuted and the rioters go free
or whether the blame will he
shifted upon a few scapegotes and
the miner union be permitted 10
dominate the Occur d Alenes again.
It aust he admitted that the
state authorities have made a
bungling start toward the APP
prehension and punishment of the
criminal members of the miner :
union. \ failure TO meet out due
penalties IT this time will be to
perpetuate anarchy in the mining
camps OF Idaho.
The attempt to involve labor
unions generally in this crime has
aroused a protest that has reached
the railroad capital aud enlisted
sympathy Tor this labor organiza-
ton that can result in nothing but
annulment of the proceedings
against the organization by the
military authorities. \ principle
is trampled upon here which
should have been segregated from
the charges against organized
criminals of the Occur d Alenes.
This case will go down in
history as the worst bit of adj
minislrative malpractice that ever
was imposed upon the people. 1t
will be a blow At organized labor
that will perpetuate lasting
prejudice and at the same time i,
will he abortion so lar as the
specific demand for justice is con-
cerned. 1t seems now that eve;i
the rule ofthe bad element of the
miner union will be strengthened
by the support OF sympathy that j.

The Occur d'Alene Strike.

The Wardner outrage is attract
ing wide attention The drastic
measures originated by Attorney
General Hays and approved by
General Marian have been disap-
proved generally. 1t is contrary
to the spirit of American liberty TO
! generalize penalties without the
process OF trial. The universal
charge of crime against the miner
union is held TO hc un,enable.
Criminals must be made to answer
Individually for these malicious
actions. The Occur 1t Alene cases
are reverting this even tenor adj
ministration of justice.
From the very storm center
comes the report that not thousands
but few individuals planned the
destruction of the Bunker Hill
and Sullivan mill. The thousand
OF miners union meu who Joined
in the parade went forward for no
more grave purpose than to inn
press the mine owners with an
idea of their organized numerical
strength. The plan of dyn;miting
the mill was unused only by a
small number OF members who
perhaps posed as central
organization or perhaps govern
ing board. This central organiza-
ton even resorted To deception to
induce the union at large to Join
in the procession and public
demonstration. This fact has
come out in the course Of ;nvesti.
cation. The charge of general
conspiracy falls with this proof.
General Merriam has been
criticised for his participation in
the condemnatory order that was
aimed at the miner union regard
less of the proof of malicious
participation in unlawful acts by
the individual members. This
order which came from Attorney
General Hays was after modih
cation approved by General
Merriam. The order by it's broad
terms included two thousand men,
a large majority of the voters of
the county with felony. Such an
order would be impotent on its
face. 1t would fail to accomplish
the pretended purpose of its origin
by reason of inherent impotency
II was an attempt to impose an
impa ssible condition upon that
community. 1t was a pretended
