retary John H. Page, of the state

ommond TO the next Legislature

WHAT IF WE DID?

+ And now our friend COger, oil
the Sharp County Record, says it
would be a good thing if Arkan'
sas would go republican. We
knew that Coger was a weak
kneed democrat, but never sus-
pected that he would ever make
such a flop as this.-Newark
/ Journal.
The Record is utterly pncon-
seious of the faot if it has made a
! flop. There is no question but
that politics in Arkansas is an
affair entirely too one-sided for
the good of the state and people.
Political affairs in Arkansas are
| so much one sided that the people
do not take a proper interest in
| the welfare Of the state, the laws
that govern the state, or the Sc
| lection Of public servants. His
tory offers conclusive proof that
no one party has ever held power
years and years uninterruptecIy
without becoming more or less
corrupt, When we say party, we
mean the leaders of the party;
| the men who dominate and con-
troll the party machinery, hold
the Offices, and as a consequence,
the power. We do not believe
there has ever been a time when
the rank and file of any party
has been corrupt. The great
mass of the voters wish to be
right and give the public offices
into clean hands, out the rank
and file are far more easily de-
ceived in state where one party
has the world by the appendage
and a down-hill go. If there
was a smaller difference in Ar
kansas in the democratic and re-
publican strength, you would be
forced to listen to much less talk
of corruption and rottenness in
the democratic family. If the
state Of Arkansas should turn up
republican some fine day, it
would be but a signal that its
people were tired Of the bicker-
ings and quarrels which have
cursed the state the past few
years, and not that they endorse
republican principles. 1t would
teach democracy that it must be
decent if it expects to challenge
the admiration. and maintain the
support Of the sons.of Arkansas
1t would teach democracy that
she must put forth her best men
for office and lay aside the petty
iealousies and prejudices that
now rule her camp. We believe
firmly in the righteousness OF
democratic principles, but when
we uphold and endorse corruption
and filth we are not honorlng
democratic teachings. We are Q
democrat, too, strong enough III
the knees that we have swallowed
democratic pills that were as gal
as they sailed down our cultural
passage, and expect to perform
the trick more before we shuttle
off this mortal coil, but that is
neither hero nor there. We never
in all our life wore a Remme
button,-as report hath it thai
the erudite editor of the Newark
Journal once did,-but that is
neither here nor there. The Rec.
ord stands pat on its origina
proposition that Arkansas democ'
racy is corrupt, painfully anc
disgracofully corrupt, and that i
we had some formidable oppo-
sition, it would serve as a purga'
tive,-quick and sure.

AN EFFECTIVE H0rBED,
Valuable Suggestions for Farmers
Who Are Thinking. Of Giving
Gardening a Fair Trial.

y The location for a gdod hotbed
needs to be chosen with some care;
it should be sheltered by trees or by
a good, broad fence on the north
side. This fence should be six and one
half feet high and is .usually built
leaning back about six iiches. from
perpendicular at the top SD that mats,
sashes or shutters leaned up against
the fence will not so readily be
blown down by the wind, The land
should slope little to the south or
southeast, and the beds should be
either level or of even GRADE from
end to end in order to ruI the planks
straight from one end tt the other.
Tn ] bed should face southeast, south
or southwest, according to the lay of
the land.
The best material for beat is fresh

SPRING GARDEN WORK

The garden plot may be cleared off
and the trash burned before the ground
is in condition to pillow.
If you have only few raspberry
and currant bushes on the place, put
the coal ashes about them.
Good seed, we'll planted in good soil,
we'll prepared, seldom fails to grow.
Once up and good culture given, they
generally give satisfactory returns.
Plant good seeds.
Burn all trash from the garden; be-
sides the tidy appearance given by the
operation an untold number of insects
and fungi germs will be put beyond the
power of doing damage to the garden
this SUMNER The ashes will do good,
not harm, to the garden.
Gooseberry and currants may be
propagated from cuttings. Take last
years growth of wood, stick in we'll
prepared soil so that two or m ore buds
are below the surface. Do this before
the buds swell. Keep free from
weeds this season. Next spring you
can transplant nice little bush.

down as it is placed in the pit, until
the required amount is in place. Then

with the loan and the sashes placed
on the frame, and over them the
mats, # the weather is cold.
In about two days after being made
up the bed will attain it's greatest
degree of heat if everything works
we'll. perhaps 80 to rs degrees. After
this, the heat will gradually decline,
and after four weeks will usually be
about 50 to 60 degrees. The deeper
the manure is packed in the bed the
higher will be the heat and the long,
er will it be retained. When beds are
started in January and February, it
is needful to make them considerably
deeper than in March and April. IT.
deed, after April Is heat is hardly
needed at all except for cucumbers.
The frames for hotbeds are usually
put in order in the fall before the
ground freezes, and are covered with
leaves or other litter deeply enough
to prevent freezing. Whenever they
are wanted the pit is dug out in Sec
tons about six feet at time, throw
ing back the surface loan to the
depth of six inches upon the section
already filled with manure, and then
carting away whatever more is need
ed in order to make the pit of the
required depth.
The advantages in building beds in
this manner over the method of
building them above ground are that
the manure in pit will retain it's
heat better than when exposed to the
wind, and the bed will need far less wa
tering: Hotbeds thus cons tructed are
used for forcing winter crops of let
tuce and radishes, and for starting
seeds of tomatoes, cabbage, lettuce,
peppers. cucumbers and onions for
t'ansplanting to the open field in
