SUCCESS IN MARKET GARDEN.

correspondence of Tn Progressive Farmer.
We are pleased that so many good
articles come out in The Progressive
Farmer on trucking. My first lesson
in garden production in a large way
was near Live Oak, Florida, selling to
shippers. It takes much reading and
practical study to make a paying sue
cess in vegetable gro wing. The man
who thinks anyone a make a good
gardener comes ehort Of the mark.
There is q good market for the best
that can be grown. The man who is
willing to sell culls Of any description
does himself great iDjustlce M gener
ally finds it hard to sell a good article
when he has it because Of the bad
names his cuIls have given him. Put
on the market only the best and when
called on for an article and you have
not the best, tell them no, and let the
culls rot or go to the hogs or COWS.
The first lesson is the selection Of
proper land and thorough culture with
suitable manures. No one kind of
land food will do for O long term OF
years. The greater variety Of manures,
the better. Woods mold, ashes, horse
and COW stable mRnure fertilizers are
all good manures, and use as much
green manure as you can put into the
land. Be sure to have no washes;
duch hillside so as to stop all gulleys
and control the water. Naked land is
not in condition to grow vegetables,
If a gardener has learned to control
all winter water, knows when and how
TO feed the lands beautifully, then
how to give attention to the business
the entire year through, he may begin
to grow vegetables of worth. The
lands of Guilford cour ty are not what
we would call good for vegetable grow
ing. There Is q sand stratum or rock
under, and where this is not found
there seems to be q very poor kind OF
clay. Then the surface after each
hard rain becomes a solid crust as soon
as dry. Yet with ekIll, fair vegetables
are grown under great are and rapid
culture. The insects are numel Gus
and hard to control or destroy.
The root crop seems to do well q
any we grow. Irish potatoes do not
yield q large crop often. The sweet
potato yields very we'll for so high up
the country. Overcropping or plant
ing too much land for the amount Of
fertilizer and attention given is con
mon. Less land, more ant and
better work pays best. Labor should
be expended with as much economy a.
money. At the right time and in the
right way study your business with as
much care as a law er studies The in
terest of his client In court.

rood which it will sell at q lower price,
or give away if necessary in order to
drive the co operative concern out OF
business. This it can quickly do, as
has been demonstrated time and again,
and no independent or co operative
factory run on moderate capital can
long compete with a powerful oppon
emit like the American Tobacco Com
pRny.
The only way in which the grower
can better his condition and have a
word to cay in regard to the price Of
the product of his lands is through the
absolute control of the leaf o. raw ma,
terial. The plan outlined shows the
only way yet devised to control the
leaf and restore prices. It is simple,
practicable and will prove profitable TO
the producer as we'll as to the capital
ist. The grower has not the cash to
swing the busin 90, hence he must call
I'M the capitalist, and the two forces,
labor and capital, must work hand in
hand. Neither can succeed without
the other they r mutually depend
emit and there should be and need be
no clash between them. With the
growers constituting a majority on the
board Of directors, which is to control
the entire management, it is assured
that the farmers interests will be well
looked after, while the name OF fix
ing prices to be paid the gro Wer for his
tobacco makes iE certain that he will
receive the highest price that can be
paid, besides getting his full share Of
the profits of conducting the business.
That there will be profits to divide
there can be no doubt in the minds of
any who have studied the question.
The Willingness Of capitalists to fur
nish the money necess ary to carry out
the plan indicates that this class Of
men see something in it, and the grow
ers themselves can compel q fair divi-
sion Of the earnings.
No fairer plan for mutual benefits
has yet been put forward, and it de
Ponds entirely on the grower himself
whether this one will succeed Of fail.
It liz time for the tobacco growers TO
stand together and assert themselves.
Is is time they demanded q fair divis
ion Of the profits of their labor. It is
time they made up their minds to
strike at the root of the evil that is
now threatening their homes, their
liberties and their lives. God helps

Four Kenosha Men Arrested in Bel
videre, ILL.,, as Suspects of
Recent Crimes.
NO STOLEN GOODS ARE FOUND
Men Had Left Kenosha at Three O'Clock
This Morning and We're Arrested
Later at the Illinois city.

-Four kenosf1a men, names unknown,
are now. in jail at Be1videre, ILL.,, await
ing the word of the Kenosha police for
their release. They were arrested in
the Illinois town early this morning,
and are being held to see if there is
any evidence to connect them with the
recent crimes committed in this city.
There is ar air of mystery about the
arrest of the men and the officers have
little or nothing to say in regard to
the story. They refuse to give any
names and state simply that nothing
was found on the men that would in
any way connect them with the bur
g1aries in this city.
Il is learned that the four men now
in limbo at Be1videre left here on an
early morning freight and that the
Kenosha officers were we'll aware of
their leaving How they happened to
be arrested is not plain. The first
thing known of the arrest was when
the local officers received despatch
from the officers at Be1videre stating
that the men were in custody and that
they answered the description of the
men wanted here.
1t is thought that the officers have
some evidence against some one in
connection with the burg1aries, but it
is also evident that the men arrested at
Be1videre are not the men wanted, as
the Chief of Police has already sent
a telegram authorizing the release of
the four men.
Many clues are being found in re-
gard to the recent robberies, and the
police now seem to give the impression
that the work was not the work of
local men, but of crack burglars from
out Of town. No effort is being spared
to locate the men, and it. is thought
that the arrest of the men at Be1videre
had something to do with the discovery
of the real criminals.
Since the burglary was committed
at the store of c. A. Dewey the officers
have been continually on the scent,
but they have kept their own counsels
and if they have found any certain
clue they have not divu1ged it for the
ear of the public.
The one thing that is battling the
police is the fact that noue of the
goods secured by the men working in
Kenosna has ever turned up. Bolt
after bolt of silk and hundreds of dol
lars worth of cutlery have been taken
in the last few weeks, but none of it
has ever turned up.

Kal5 "a, and after compelling surrender
occupied the city aud the whole dis
trict. The Russians notified the Chi
nese government that their action was
solely in the interest of law and order,
and that they would Withdraw as soon
as China was able to resume author
lily.
The Chinese were compelled to &C
cept the situation. In 1871. after The
TAPPING rebellion had been crushed by
the aid Of "Chinese" Gordon, the i'm
perial authorities turned their atten-
ton to the Panthay rebellion in Yum
nan and subdued the Moslenls there.
In six years more of hard fighting
they succeeded in re-esta 6iishing
Chinese rule in the vicinity of Kash-
gar, to the south and west of Ku1ja,
whereupon they demanded that the
Russians evacuate Iii according to
promise and permit them to resume
rule. It took four years of negotiation
and strained relations 70 carry the
point, and in 1881, when the Russians
finally withdrew, into their own terri
tory, after ten years of occupation,
they carried with them such treaty
concessions aid indemnities as amply
repaid their expense and effort.
Since that time the Mohamnqedan
portions of the Chinese empire have
been measurab1y quiet. They have
not forgotten the war, however, and
a signal from the sultan Of Turkey
might easily induce them to rise
again to assist the powers with Chi
nese army. The sultan used his in
f1uence with the sultan Of Sulu when
the United States wanted to establish
peaceful relations with that monarch.
He might do something now to help
the powers in China.-Chicago Record.

KenOsha Golf Team Loses the First
Contest of the Season to the
Milwaukee Team.
STRONG PLAY OF G. G. ALLEN.
He Defeats Col. Boyd by Score of six
up.-Eichelman and Ripley the
Only Kenosha Team winning.

On a soggy field, giving no chance
for brilliant play, the Keaosha Coun-
try Club Golf team was defeated on
Saturday afternoon by the Milwaukee
Country Club team by a score of II
down. The story of the game is not
told in the score, for the Kenosha
team put up an excellent game of golf
and should have Jared better in the
contest had the greens been in any
sort of condition.
The game was played on the links
of the Milwaukee club, and the heavy
rain which fell in the morning and
during the game made the field a far
different one than what the Kenos1a
players had been accustomed to. The
Milwaukee men were mud 1arxs and
took kindly to the soggy condition of
the links. From the first the Keuosha
boys contested every point. In the
first round the Kenosha boys were
worsted badly but the play of the sec
ond round was greatly improved, and
the Milwaukee team won by the small
score of II up.
Quite a number of the Kenosha
ladies went to attend the game, and
followed the players about the field.
They were entertained at the club
house after the game was over.
Chester Allen gave the Milwaukee
players the greatest surprise of the
day. He was pitted against Col. Boyd
the veteran player of the Milwaukee
club, and he set a pace that was all too
fast for the Milwaukee man. At the
end of the first round he had his oppo-
nent four down, and he added two
more to the score during the second
round.
L. M. Eiche1man took the second
honors for the Kenosha team, defeat
ing his opponent, L. w. Neiman, by
score of four up.
! The other winner on the Kenosha
team was DR.. G. H. Ripley, who de-
feated H. Morris, of the Milwaukee
club, by score of l up after hard
struggle. Will Yule managed to even
matters with his opponent and the re-
nainder of the home players were de-
feated by a small margin, with the
exception of Fred Petit, who was
forced to concede honors to Allen Hib-
bard by score of 10 down.

SUES THE CITY.
John D. Harf Demands So, coo for Per-
sonal Injuries.

John u. Harm demands 30, COO Tor Per-
sonal Injuries
John D. Harff, through his attor-
neys, Baker g. Baker, have filed a suit
against the city of Kenosha demand
ing damages to the extent of 5000 for
injuries alleged to have been received
from falling on a defective sidewalk.
The summons and complaint was
served on City Clerk Jacob this morn
ing.
The accident which resulted in the
suit occurred on Church street on
August 10, 1899. Mr.. sHarff had been
walking along the street, when, ac-
cording to the complaint, he struck his
foot on defect in the walk and was
thrown heavily to the ground.
He sustained serious in juries, among
others being fracture of the left hip.
Since the accident the plaintiff has
been confined to his home and he states
in the complaint that he has been
crippled for life.
The case will probably come up fer
trial at the September term of the Cir
cult Court.
