TO SAVE LABOR.

1t is my belief that any farmer, how
ever skeptical, having once used a
manure spreader, will never be without
one. My manure is drawn and spread
in half the time it formerly took to do
it. This is due to the time saved In
unloading it. With one man l have

VALUE OF SYSTEM.

should have entailed but little labor If
attention had been given to the matter

"A GOOD SOILING ROTATION.
Reference was recently made to the
advantage to be gained from soiling
crops, particularly when there was
danger, however remote, of a season
of drouth. A reader writes that he has
had particularly good success with a
rotation of seeding on the following
plan: With a crop Of rye on the field
for early spring cutting, the soil is
plowed after cutting, for crop OF
oats and Canada peas. This crop can
be cut and fed green in ample time
to get in a sowing of corn for the silo
or for fodder, and at the last cultlva-
ton of this corn, rye and crimson
clover Is seeded to give the crop the
following spring. This is much the
same plan that Is followed on the farm
Of the editor. and when the crops are
utilized strictly for green feeding the
results are entirely satisfactory. An
attempt to cure the crop of oats and
peas was not successful, for it Is a
difficult crop to cure. The average
yield of oats and peas cut green Is
seven and one-half tons an acre, and Its
value very great, especially in the feed
ing of the dairy cows.-Indianapolis

THE FIELD BEAN.

A crop which can profitably be grown
to a much greater extent and over
much larger area of the country than is
now done is the common navy or field
bean. There is not enough grown to
supply home demands, beans being i'm
ported every year, although it is
crop of comparatively easy cultivation
and one that pays better than most
field crops. Clean land, of good quail
ity, should be selected, and the beans
planted in drills Immediately after the
corn is in. Cultivate as soon as the
plants are above the ground, and when
there is no dew or rain on the leaves,
as that will spot and spoil the foliage.
Cultivate thoroughly until the growth
Of foliage covers the ground and stops
the growth of weeds. When two-thirds
Of the pods are ripe, pull by hand and
lay in rows until well dried. Thresh
on clear, dry day, otherwise the
beans may not easily come out of the
pods.

Vain and EsotIstcoI Carnegie.

There has been no exhibition of the
vanity and egotism of Andrew Car
negie more odious and irritating than
his purpose to wipe out group Of
little, ancient houses of the days of
Shakespeare, in Stratford-on-Avon, to
give place to an upstart' library with
which he wishes to endow the town.
II this spurious Lord Bountiful, who
has been enormously enriched by spe-
cial privileges at the expense of the
public, can have his way, monument
to his own obtrusive name will dis
place the quaint shrines to which pill
grims come from all quarters of the
globe to worship. 1t is doubtful ii
there is another man in the whole
world besides Andrew Carnegie who
would think of such effrontery. 1t is
the duty of every lover of Shakespeare
and every foe of the invasions made
on the sacred soil by rank and raw
millionism to lend strong moral sup
port to the movement of Marie Corelli,
Ellen Terry and Lady Colin Campbell
to preserve against ruin and desecra-
ton the shrines of Stratford-on-Avon
to make place for a pompous monu-
ment to the name Of Andrew Carnegie

minated by the fame of Shakespeare

A Slight Discrcpancy.

Board of Charities is respectfully re-
ferred to an article elswhere in this
paper referring to the number OF in
mates now being cared for at the Stark

institution have been openly charged
on several previous occasions with de-
lberately padding the population OF
the place for the purpose of reducing
the per capita expense. Reports made
recently indicate that there arc 320
inmates, while an actual count care
fully made by an intelligent, inmate

what becomes of all this appropTia-

investigation should not be delayed
long enough to enable the directors
to recruit their membership to the 800

matter of sufficient importance to ac-

The George ID. Harter post has made
itself rather ridiculous in its action of
turning down the nomination of J.. C..
Welty for Memorial day orator for no
other reason than that he is a Demo-
crat. 1t appears to be matter of
precedent with the post that Memorial
day orators must be Of Republican per-
suasion and it was set forth at the
meeting where the matter was con-
sidered that it would not do to violate
all traditions Of the order by yielding
the speakers stand to a gentleman Of
opposite political faith. So Mr.. Welty
was promptly snubbed and a Republi-
can judge was chosen in his stead. To
the dispassionate spectator this pro-
ceeding appears to have been ill-ad-
vised and unwarranted Memorial day
is in no sense of the word a Republi-
can institution. 1t is national holi-
day and as such is observed by unit
ed and homogeneous people. 1t is not
al occdsioh ioI tne ulScusslOH
of politics or problems of state,
however, much the Republican party
has endeavored to appropriate it and
employ it to that end. 1t is day
when patriotic sentiments Should be
paramount and when the noble deeds
of the soldiers Of the great civil war
should be recalled with eloquence and
pride. The choice Of an orator should
be guided by the measures of patriot
ism and ability. Mr.. Welty possesses
both of these attributes in marked de-
grees and that he should be so uncere-
moniously turned down seems to be
without excuse, rhyme or reason.

Too Much Talk Of Birth.

When the Society of the Cincinnati
was formed there was the most We
hement opposition to the principles of
founding here an. hereditary order.
There is less danger today of an aris-
tocracy Of birth winning any real
ascendency in this land than there was
when the nation was just breaking
away from the English tradition. But
there is today in some quarters an un-
mistakable development of snobbery
which lays an absurd emphasis on the
circumstance OF birth. A line of worthy
ancestors is an excellent thing-if any
ancient virtues have been transmitted
to the children. An honored name is
an enviable possession on---when it's living
owner bears himself worthily. Mem
bership in an hereditary patriotic or
der is possibly an advantage SO long
as It inspires the member to serve his
country today In causes no less holy,
though maybe less heroic, than those
which his order commentaries. Other
advantages than these birth does not
confer PHILADELPHIA Ledger.

Lookiae Into the psusms Canal.

The canal commission, under the

status OF the Panama canal, despite

Entertaining at White House.

Mr.. Roosevelt's white house, as
founding though 1t is as asudden devel-
opment, is but the crude beginning of
the Washington Of tomorrow. But II Is
a beginning-a most audacious move
on the part Of one of the most auda-
cious men who ever rose to first place
in the republic.
This year the white house demand
upon congress for running expenses
leaped from the customary $4,000 to
100000. As Mr.. Roosevelts salary is
Just under thousand dollars week
and as he evidently believes the peo-
pie expect the president to spend his
salary upon the establishment of the
position, 1t appears that the new
white house, the new court, is now on
the average costing in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 a week, half from the
pocket of the people, the other half
from Mr.. Roosevelt's private pocket.
AS the heavy expense is crowded into
FIVE months of the year-December to
April inclusive-the probabilities are
that the new white house is costing
during the season not far from $4,000
a week. This means that the new de-
parture has certainly doubled and has
perhaps trebled the cost Of the white
house court-for most presidents have
contributed about half their salary to-
ward holding court and have called on
congress for a supplementary appro-
priation of $4,000 a year.-David
