Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1900-02-23


lican president seeks to favor
England as against a struggling
sister republic, and a republican
congress on Thursday last
passed a monetary bill that is
just what England wants, and
that places this country on the
gold standard of England.
Shame, shame upon such truck
ling to the grasping, bulldozing
monarchy! Shame upon such
forgetfulness of American honor,
Of the rights of a republic!
COMPETITION is good only for
poor devils who imagine they
are fortunate when they receive
a dollar and half for a days
labor. When they purchase the
necessaries of life, such as -four,
meat, fuel, coal oil, etc., all
dealers sell at the same price.
Railroads raise rates at pleasure
and combines regulate the
markets for all farm products.
At the rate we are travelling,
every man who tolls will soon be
a slave to monopoly.
In THIS vale of tears people
some time oyerdo their
assumption of goodness. The
''holier than thou doctrine is
not Chrsitlike. The man who is
sanctified to the point Of
arrogance accomplishes little
for the betterment of humanity
in this world or any other. He
who carries his head in the
clouds has little sympathy for
his SHINING fellowman. The
arrogation of holiness without
the touch OF humility, is the
acme of selfishness and conceit.
CAN'T you learn by experience?
Do you know that your schemes
do not pay as well as work. Look
either way you please, and you
will see that every one who has
attempted to get along by his
schemes is a poor, measly, dirty
and confirmed liar. The fellow
who schemes in preference to
working, is lazy, and laziness is
the worst kind of dissipation. 1t
undermines virtue, honesty and
manliness quicker and more COM
pletely than any other vice. No
one wishing to retain respectable
ity and usefulness can afford to
scheme.-FlOrence Bulletin.
A GENTLEMAN from the country
said to us last week: "Here is a
prosperity item for your miser-
able old socialistic paper: On
Sunday l put a want ad' in a
city paper telling that I wanted
a man to work in a hardware
and furniture store in a small
town." He then produced a
package containing 142 answers
to that ad. "These," said he,
"were received in two days,
and I have ordered the news
paper folks to send the balance
to me by freight. )" If, as. McKin-
ley told us, the jobs are now
hunting the men, then that little
country job must be an almighty
good NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
'IT IS pretended that we had
right to the possession of the
Philippines, and that self-respect
demanded us to enforce that
right. What kind of right was
it? The right of conquest? Had
we really acquired that country
by armed conquest, which, as
President Mckinley has told us,
is, according to the American
code of morals, criminal aggres-
sion? But if we had thrown
aside our code of morals, we had

The 0ragon Native Son.

The historical magazine, "0regon Ma
tive Son." for March, has just reached
us. Unlike monthly publications gen.
orally, the "Native Son" is published
the last Of the month instead Of the first.
The following are the contents: The Pill
grims OF the Plains" poem, Joaquin
Miller; "A Tour Of the World" (illus-
trated), John J. Valentine "Multnomah
Indian Tradition" F. II. Saylor; Will
lamette," poem, G. A. Waggoner; "Pre-
historic North Pacific Wrecks" James
Wickersham; "Tales of the Mines" G..
A. Waggoner; and other articles Of
merit.
While the distinctive features OF this
magazine, generally, have been its his
torical articles and Indian legends from
the pens of authoritative writers, illus
trative pictures Of the lakes and noun
tains Of the Northwest, and the portraits
and biographies Of the pioneers, it CON-
mences with this Issue the publication
Of "Tour Of the World" by John ].
Valentine, president Of Wells, Fargo &
Co., and writer and philanthropist OF
national repute. This article, composed
OF series Of letters, will probably run
through dozen months. 1t is written
IN very interesting style, and will prove
very instructive to those who follow, in
reading it, Mr.. Valentine in his mean
derings abroad.
The illustrations are unusually fine,
and would do credit TO magazine Of far
more pretensions than the "Natiye Son"

Growing Tomatoes.

The Davidson Fruit Co. has furnished
about $1,000 tomato plants to farmers
who are going into the business of grow
ing tomatoes for the cannery. These
plants have been taken out by farmers
and placed in cold frames in the fields
where they will be set later on in the
season. p. F. Bradford has had super
vision OF the growing OF the plants in
the hot bed and has also visited the
farms and given instructions about set
ting the plants in cold frames. The hot
bed for the plants is heated by artificial
heat. Tiling is placed under bed so
feet long covered with glass, with fur
mace at one end from which the heat
and smoke passes through the tiling and
escapes at the other end. Mr.. Bradford
has been very successful with the hot
bed and furnished nice lot of plants,
which were all taken out by last Friday.
lie will have others coming on, and ev-
erybody that wants plants can be sup
piled in another two weeks. The plants
are furnished free. Farmers have en-
gagged to plant about thirty acres to to-
matoes for the Davidson Fruit Co.
Tomatoes have been grown for market
in Hood River for 25 years or more, but
with most Of our farmers the industry is
yet in the experimental stage. The
question of fertilizers requires some
study. There is an old-fashioned idea
that manure is injurious rather than
beneficial 10 tomatoes. Ordinary barn
yard manure is found to keep the plants
growing vigorously until late in the sea-
con, at the expense of the production of
early fruit. This, it has been discov-
cred, is largely due to the fact that the
nitrogen in the manure is not available
until it has been converted into nitric
acid. 1t has been found by experiments
made at the New Jersey experiment sta
tion for three years that nitrate OF soda,
applied when the plants are set out,
greatly increased their growth early in
the season and produced much larger
crop of early ripe fruit than either barn
yard manure, phosphates or no manure
at all.
Next season, il 100 acres of peas can
be secured, the company will put in ma
cainery to hull and can green peas. 1t
might be we'll for farmers to experiment
with peas this year and note what profit
there would be in growing them for the
cannery, McLean's Advancer, an early
pea, Is said to be the best and most
profitable for growing for the cannery.
II. Il. Everhart has this variety for sale.
Farmers should keep record OF the
date of planting and the time the peas
mature,

A bulletin from the Oregon agricul-
cultural college and experiment station
says: "The growing of clover, alfalfa,
vetch and peas renovates the land as
well as supplies valuable food for stock.
Marked results follow the application Of
land plaster TO these crops, not infre-
quently increasing the yield one hun
dred per cent. The farmer who neglects
10 SOW plaster on his clover stands in his
own light. II should be applied early
in the spring so as to insure plenty Of
rain after it is sown, as it requires about
500 parts OF water to dissolve one part Of
land plaster. Put on from so to rs
pounds per acre"

The GLACIER man took a stroll out to
the Frankton neighborhood on Sunday
The fruit ranches along the State road
were looking lovely. Fruit trees were
loaded with bloom and the hum of the
honey bees was heard in the orchards.
The strawberry patches in this neigh
borhood are all we'll cared for, and on
Sunday were showing plenty Of bloom,
with berries formed in some places as
large as peas. Gardens were well ad-
vanced and well cared for. A new set
tier has purchased part Of M. Willis
place and has built house and is Occu-
pying it. The cackle OF hens in the
poultry yards Of d. N. Byerlee sounded
like the hens we're attending TO business.
Richard Kirbyson and j. l.. Gordon
have made extensive clearings during
the winter, and the Columbia river can
now be seen from the road passing their
places. Mr.. Gordon has charge Of the
Sam Smith place, as well as his own,
and is making it look like somebody
lived there. Sam Koplin, the village
blacksmith, has his orchards and gar
den in fine shape. Besides attending TO
the work in his shop, he finds time to
look after his garden and occasionally
goes fishing. Sam is an ardent admirer
Of VIM. Jennings Bryan, with whom he
is intimately acquainted, having lived
near him in Nebraska. Z. d. Calkins
we found in his poultry yards feeding
and admiring his focks. His Lang
shan's and light Brahmas are doing
good work. He will enlarge his hen
house by utilizing his barn and will
build barn in another place. Mr..
Calkins favors poultry association for
Hood River. B. Warren's orchards
were rich with bloom. His blackberry
vines are said to look the best of any in
the neighborhood. Mr. Warren is build
ing dwelling house in town and will
offer his pleasant home and fruit ranch
for sale. The old school house, the first
building Of its kind Of any pretensions
in the valley, shows the need OF paint.
The patrons Of the school intend giving
entertainments in strawberry time to
raise funds to procure bell for the
school house Other districts in the
valley have gone ahead of Frankton in
this respect. But when Frankton moves
in the direction OF bell it will get there
and get a good one Warren Miller il

He sold enough eggs from his Brown
Leghorns during the past three months

had cleared enough land and seeded it
TO clover to make him. good income
without much labor. Mr.. Staten has
about IA acres in clover and it is look

blooming for the first time. Twin Oaks
