The Importance of cutting meadows
agricultural press. Many farmers
argue that while they would be glad
to cut early it is better for them to cut
later and suffer the loss in quality CON
sequent upon late cutting than to cut
early and perhaps lose the entire crop
because the weather will probably not
permit them to cure it. An exchange
suggests that those who feel this way
and who realize the value of early cut
clover hay as compared with that
which is cut later in the feeding of
young. growing stock or dairy cows
would do well to consider hay caps
to assist in curing. A yard square of
cheap muslin properly oiled. with Il
fastened a stone or other weight to pre-
vent the wind from raising it, will pro-
tect from sudden showers quite little
amount of clover hay, and II sufii-
cient quantity Of these are provided
much of the objection taken to early
cutting because of the difficulty of cur
ing will be done away with. Caps of
this kind are inexpensive and will last
for years If properly cared for after
haymaking is over. When stored, they
should be laid out Hat on top of each
other and not folded. otherwise the oil
ed cloth will have tendency to crack

Turnin SOUinD

To be valuable either for the kitchen
or for stock turnips should be grown
quickly This means good soil and
plenty of moisture Good soil does not
quite mean rich soil, though richness is
an important element. More impor-
tant, however, is good filth, produced
by frequent previous stirring This is
the reason that turnips do well on po-
tato ground from which early potatoes
have been removed.
In the cool. moist climate of the
British isles turnips are usually sown
In spring. Here, with our much higher
summer temperature. it is hest to de-
fer the sowing until July or August.
This leaves but short season for
growth, and hence the necessity for
the best conditions of soil.
Some of the best kinds for kitchen
are White Egg and Purple Top Strap
Leaf, the former rather preferable.
Cloudy weather is most desirable for
sowing In hot sunshine the seed IL

soil too wet to work well. Immediate,
ly before n rain is good time, if the
rain does not fail to come but if the
rain is too heavy the seed is liable to
be washed out of place.
Care is required in order to avoid
the common error Of having the plants
so numerous as to crowd each other,
AS soon as the seed is sown it should
be lightly covered with rake or by
drawing brush over the surface.-Na.

The Question of Rights.

A distinguished statesman recently
said: THE recognition of the rights of
the Cubans by resolution did not create
those rights. They existed before"
If the recognition of the rights of the
Cubans by resolution did not create
those rights, what did create them and
when were they created?
We turn for answer to the immortal
Declaration that "all men are
endowed by their Creator with certain
inalienable rights" If the rights of the
Cubans are inalienable and existed be,
fore the resolution recognized them. do
not the rights of women exist in the
same way, though they have not been
recognized by resolution?
More than quarter of century ago
the rights of the negro were under con
sideration. At that time woman, who
had so greatly contributed to the Sc
curing of his freedom from chattel
slavery, modestly asked that, while his
political rights were being defined, the
rights of woman might not be overlook
ed, but conservatism and prejudice said
to her: "Stand aside. This is the ne
gro's hour" She gave place to him
then, but in all these years since he
was enfranchised her hour has not
struck.
Now that our country has acquired
some new territory, the rights of the
men of these possessions are considered
all important, and it is declared that
the rights of these men have existed
from their birth and therefore must be
recognized. Yet the rights of women
have existed by the same logic from the
beginning, but the resolution of recog-
milton has never got beyond the COM
mittee room.
How long must woman yet wait until
she comes into possession Of her own?

An Industry For Country women.


Still another outlet has been found
for unemployed energy through the
efforts of a young woman at Pc
quaket, \. H., in establishing the Alb
nakee rug industry. Urged by desire
to give employment to the women of
that remote mountainous district and
finding they could do nothing except
make the common hooked rug, which
as usually executed is ugly of pattern,
crude in color and unpleasant under
foot, she set herself the task of ele-
waiting the hooked rug, for she saw
possibilities Of artistic results that
their rude methods had not developed
She bought new all wool materials,
furnished original designs, dyed the
goods in the warm, neutral tones seen
In oriental rugs and trained her work
ers after a method of her own. The
result was Il complete metamorphosis
of the hooked rugs, constituting a dis
tlnct departure in American industry,
as they are unlike any product before
offered In texture they are as thick and
soft rs the heaviest velvet carpets
and have considerable sheen. and as
they are handmade they can be varied
In color, pattern or size to meet any
requirement. The work speedily grew
beyond the original plan of making
rugs for floors. Crests and coats of
arms upon wall rugs are executed as
well; also wall rugs with ieweled eff
fects in the borders, portieres, couch
covers and chair covers are made to
order.-IIelen II. Albee in Review of

To grow good clover seed it should
not be left until all the seed has ripen
ed before cutting, as thus much of the
best seed, that from the earliest and
largest blossoms, will rattle out and he
lost. Much of that which seems to be
only partially ripened will gcrminate
quite as well and bring as vigorous
plants as the ripest seed. Handle and
cure the clover just as if it was to be
made into hay excepting cutting it
later. and the straw will be a good hay
after it is thrashed, not quite as good
as the early cut hay. but quite as good
as any late cut hay for horses or cat
tie 1t Is thought the best method of
growing clover seed to cut the first crop
of clover for hay as early as it is fit
and let the second crop grow and ripcn
seed. Some 20 so far as to say that
the seed from the first crop is not as
good as that from the second crop or
rowen, but American Cultivator thinks
the real advantage is in getting the
crops of hay, and perhaps there may
be better weather for curing the seed
at the late moving than i'm June.

TIE ADMIRAL AGAIN on DECK.

There has never been much reason TO fear
that Admiral Deweys willingness to be elected
President of the United States would deprive
him either Of his naval command or Of the place
he holds in the hearts of his cOuntrymen
Nevertheless his announcement that he is no
longer a candidate for the nomination which
more than two-thrds Of the delegates to the
Kansas City convention have been instructed TO
bestow on Mr.. Bryan is sure to give universal
pleasure. Thank God, the people don't appear
to want me-" is the way in which the Admiral
is said 10 have expressed his latest estimate of
public sentiment concerning his tentative can
didacy, ana doubtless his conclusion is as accu-
rate as his Nterance is fervent Everybody
will be glad TO note that not the slightest resent
ment seems TO have followed his discovery that
unnamed men whom he calls leaders" misled
him into believing that the people wanted him
TO exchange a place exactly adapted TO his
tastes. talents and deserts for a place which
neither training nor disposition has qualified
him TO fill. He might have been justified in
cherishing some i'll will toward those who Dor
rowed the use of his name and fame in a frantic
effort TO rescue the Democratic party from des-
perate straits. But the Admiral has magnani
mously chosen to confne himself to a simple
expression Of his own contentment with the
situation, which. after all, is the best thing he
could have done.
Thus fortunately ends curious episode in
modern political history which might have pro-
duced unhappy results. If Admiral Dewey had
actually become a candidate for votes at the
polls. or even at n party convention, it is pos
sibe that some bitterness would have marked
the contest and survived his defeat. AS II is,
having merely put himself in the attitude of one
listening to the popular voice and thus ascer-
tanned soon enough to avoid unpleasant COM
plications that it not summoning him, he
resumes his normal status and secures for all
time his distinctive title TO the gratitude and
admiration of the country.

TONS enough of them can be found. No case
was ever in court on which both sides could not
quote authorities. Judge Townsend, as judges
often do, after making up his mind on the
general principles involved might have pegged
away at texts and distinguished cases. 1t
far better that he should clearly set forth
the large issues of constitutional and inter
national law involved His view will. Of course,
be tested on appeal in the light of all the prece-
dents that can be raked up and it is therefore
highly desirable that the general principles
should be declared in the first instance, instead
of having the case passed on from stage TO
stage with rule of thumb citations timidly and
in hope that some judge at the top VIII take
the trouble 10 consider it in its larger aspects.
The point before Judge Townsend did not
involve the coDstitutionality of the Porto Rican
Tariff and Civil Government bill, but only the
status e. the island previous to Congressional
action. At the same time however, while he
confines himself strictly to the matter in hand,
he decides that on grounds of general principle
which, if correct, justify the Republican view
Of the free hand of Congress in dealing with
the islands Judge Townsend does not uphold
the levying of duties merely on the ground that
Congress had not acted to change the collec-
ton districts established before the war, and
that provisional arrangements in the interval
were legal. He upholds il because there is no
reason either on principle or authority, why
the United States should not accept sOver-
eighty over territory without admitting it as
IAN integral part of the Union or making it
bear the burden Of the taxation uniform
throughout the Nation. To deny this power Is
ito deny 10 this Nation an important attribute
"of sovereignty" He makes the highly signif-
cant point that the Treaty of Paris accepts
sovereignty on the condition that the status of
the coded territory shall he preserved until
Congress shall determine it. He makes no
doubt that the treaty is valid, and therefore the
treatment of the territory as outside our domes
tic tariff boundary after ratification. before,
was constitutional. 1t follows that If the treaty
was constitutional in RENTING full power to
Congress. then when Congress did act ii could
act freely and separate legislative tariff is as
constitutional the provisional executive ar
