The wise men of the south. the nobler
element, must take hold of this ques-
ton with determination.
With the establishment of a great
feudal system and the perpetuation of
an incubus of ignorance and brute
force every citizen has something to
do. The future of America must be
given. not TO backward looking, but to
forward looking; not to the revival
of medieval social conditions, but to
those larger conditions signified by
the Golden Rule. We do not intend
to create as a fixed social factor a
mental class. north or south, or to
perpetUate a condition of compulsory
poverty and hate. The negro question
will have TO be settled on this basis.
Let the southern people exercise hu.
manity and put into practice the
common principles of social economy.
They must get along with the negro:
they cannot get on with a brutaTized
and impoverished negro They must
open the road OF betterment 10 every
man, black CT white, who will become
fitted for advancement and repute
The real problem is always, not
whether any one is our equal, but
whether we ourselves are equal to the
task of enlightened altruism and
Christian civilization.

BY THE WAY.

Farmers assert that the ore smelters
OF Butte, Mont. throw into the air
five tons of sulpburic acid and half
ton OF arsenic each day, greatly to
the damage of crops.
The citrus fruit industry of Italy
has been for long time in a deplor-
able condition. Lemons that few
seasons past commanded $3.50 per
1000 on the trees, are now hard to
market at IS cents.
The state of Washington has the
most gigantic lumber resources in the
world. One acre of Washington
timber will furnish in its lumber as
many carloads OF freight as 120 years
Of wheat produce from a Dakota farm.
Certain vegetables, notably to-
matoes, cabbages, cauliflower, celery,
lettuce, and some others, need to be
started in cold frames and transplant
ed for the practical business of grow
ing. For this purpose there is a
plant-setting machine, which will
handle a sprout as if it loved it, es-
tabiSh it in its new environment,
gather the earth tenderly about ita
roots, give it copious drink of water
from tank it carries, and cover from
four to six acres in day.

turkey chicks seem to do as well in
brooders as with hens. We hear of
some doing well with turkeys in
breeders, but have not, up to this time,
met with any one VINO felt warranted
in continuing the brooder method for
poults, says the Country Gentleman.
The young turkeys probably do as well
in breeders as young chicks up to a
certain age, but after 10 days or two
weeks they will feel the demand for
more natural conditions. Most of
those that we have known to try the
poults in breeders nave put a few of
them in brooder with young chicks
young chicks and young turkeys never
do well together; with hens, if in the
same brood with the same mother
they fare badly. When running to.
gether with separate mothers. they
do not do SO well as when kept well
apart. If young turkeys alone were
put into breeders, they might do bet.
ter than we think they would, but
should not advise Tisking too many
and as soon as the turkeys in the
brooder are large enough to run
about, get them on the ground part of
each day.

SOUTH PROPOSES FEUDALIsM.
A Deliberate Attempt to Foist a SO.
ciaI System on the Nation.

ndependent.-The position taken
is not only that the inferiority of the
negro shall be insisted on, but that
there shall be no recognition of those
negroes who escape the fatality and
become intellectually and morally
equipped for citizenship. Not only
shall the negro be debarred from any
recognition of his manhood by the
south itself, but in his case merit and
manhood shall not be recognized by
others He must not only hold no
state Office; he must be debarred from
federal office-totally, absolutely and
forever. The president of the United
States must sympathize with and par
ticipate in these prejudices, and the
whole people must acquiesce. The
north must aid in suppressing every
ambition OF black man to rise above
mental position.
At this point the problem ceases TO
be local and southern; ii is national
lied. We are forbidden to treat an
intelligent, decent, educated black
man as we would treat an intelligent,
htttnl, CuuNdNfu HHilt uldu-OI even
as well as we would treat a british,
debauched white man. The negro
must remain mental, although our
equal in all those respects which con.
stitute manhood and intelligent citi-
zenship. Bluntly we tell our south
ern brothers that we will not be par.
ties to any such arrangement. 1t is to
renew, in another form, the demands
made in slavery times, that we en-.
gage in negro chasing.
In other words, we find a system OF
feudalism about to be fastened upon
the nation, instead of slavery--a So
cal principle but one degree ahead Of
human bondage. In fact in some re
spects this feudalism is worse than
slavery; for the latter brought the
two races together in such a way as
to aneliorate the condition of the in
ferior. Feudalism, on the contrary
simply subjects the vast mass of the
working population and keeps them In
perpetual class to which betterment
is forbidden. Meanwhile the superior
race, the dominating lords. accustom
themselves to manners and to logic
thai unfit them FOR cooperation in a
federal republic. Precisely what Is 10
come of this negro problem we do not
undertake to forecast; but this is one
thing we are fully assured of, that the
negro must be given the rights Of
common humanity, the right to better
himself, socially and economicalIy.

JAPAN A FRIEND OF AMERICA.
Look to the United States for Protec.
ton.

The New Willard has an interesting
guest in the person of Mr.. Shiohara of
Toxic. says the Washington Times
Mr.. Shiohara is a wealthy business
man of the japanese metropolis, and
Is visiting the United States on a COM
bination business and pleasure trip.
He is accompanied by DR.. ]. Takamini,
who has earned quite reputation as
chemist and scientist. In speaking of
the progress of his native cour Try,
Mr.. Shiohara declared it due to a
great extent to the good influence of
the United States.
The position of your country has
changed wonderfully within the last
five years in the minds of the people
of Japan" said Mr.. Shiohara. Much
has been said relative to the ignorance
of the average American of the con-
ditions of our country, but the re-
verse is also true.
The japanese knew little of this
country prior to the war of the Philip
pines. Up to that time the only
modern language taught in our
schools was German, and we saw no
necessity to become acquainted with
English. Now, things have changed.
and English is becoming more and
more indispensable every day. In the
future Japan will look first to the
United States for sympathy and pro-
lection"

o SOFT SPRING AIRS!

Come up, come up, o soft spring airs,
Come from your silver shining seas,
Where all day long you toss the wave
About the low and palm-plumed
keys!
Forsake the spicy lemon groves,
The balms and olives of the South
And blow across the longing land
The breath of your delicious mouth
Come from the almond bough you stir,
The myrtle thicket where you sigh;
Oh leave the nightingale, for here
The robin whistles far and nigh!
For here the violet in the wood
Thrills with the fulness you shall
take,
And wrapped away from life and love,
The wild rose dreams and fain
would wake.
For here in reed and rush and grass,
And tiptoe in the dusk and dew,
Each sod Of the brown earth aspires
To meet the sun-the sun and you!
Then come, o fresh spring airs. Once
more
Create the old delightful things,
And WOO the frozen world again
With hints OF heaven upon your
wings!

from the Waldorf-Astoria to Morris

the newcomer has proved TO be the
most sporty proposition of all.
James H. Hyde, vice president of the
Equitable Assurance Company, is tax
ing his recreation by driving between
New York and Lakewood, distance
of nearly eighty miles. The road
coach Liberty leaves the Holland
house at $50 a. m. Tuesdays, Thurs
days and Saturdays returning on the
following days. A stop of an hour is
made at the Mansion house, New
Brunswick, for luncheon. Before ar
irving there changes are made at
Newark, Linden and Iselin. After
leaving New Brunswick the first
change is at Old Bridge, followed by
Mount Pleasant, Marlboro, Freehold,
Turkey Blue Ball and Squankum. The
laurel-in-thePines at Lakewood is
reached at 6:10. The return start is
made at $50 and the Holland house
is reached at exactly o'clock. 1t is

Agricultural Lore

tanned the small seeded dodder, While
more than one-fourth of them con-
tanned the larger dodder seed, says a
bulletin of the Ohio experiment
station. OF Is samples of alfalfa
seed, recently examined in Ohio, two
contained seeds of the smaller seeded
and two of the larger seeded dodder,
but the number of seeds found of the
small seeded dodder was many times
that of the larger seeded. The many
cases of dodder-killed patches in
alfalfa fields last season and these
facts just stated show that no one
should sow alfalfa seed without re-
cleaning through a sieve of 20 meshes
to the inch before sowing.
If sitting hen crushes in an egg,
but does not appear to have broken
anything in. the shell, says a CORES
pondent of Farm and Garden, mend
it in this way: Take a fresh egg and
break 1t into saucer, being careful
to get one about the size and shape of
the one the hen has broken. Break
1t on the opposite side or end from
what the other is, and break it away
so il can be slipped over the broken
place on the other egg, leaving as
much of the shell around the broken
place as l can and still have it fit
closely over the other one. Of course
the broken egg must be kept warm
while it is being mended. The shell
will stick on the other egg if it is a
freshly-broken one. When it is time
for the chicks to hatch, l watch this
egg rather closely, and if the shell
covers the large end, where the
chicks head usually is, l pick away
some of this outside shell and help
the chick in any way it seems neces-
sary, as it would not have strength to
pick its way through two shells.
With little help it matches out as
nicely as any of them
Potatoes are the main money crop
in this country. The way to grow the
best crop is to plow sod land after
haying. Spread a fair coat of manure
on the furrow, then harrow until
thoroughly pulverized, and the
manure mixed with the soil. I.use
500 pounds fertilizer to the acre in the
row, says writer in Farm and
Garden. use the planter for putting
in the seed. In few days after plant
ing, start the cultivator and horse
hoe. l keep up thorough cultivation
until the tops grow too large. | get
from 100 to $50 barrels potatoes to the
acre. The rows are two feet eight
inches apart, and the potatoes
dropped one foot in the row. | spray
three times with bordeaux and paris
green, commencing when the tops are
five inches high.
If one wishes to raise green peas,
take old ground, pillow six or seven
inches deep, harrow we'll and furrow
about six inches deep, three feet
apart. Then fill the furrow about half
full with manure. Cover with dirt
and scatter fertilizer lightly. Drop
seed so as to have the peas about one
or III inches apart, but not too par
ticular Sometimes they are placed
one at time about two inches apart,
but this has not made any difference
in the yield. Cover them between
One-half and one inch deep, and as
they grow hoe more dirt to them.
Later in June they are covered two
inches to three inches deep, but for
an early crop shallow planting and
filling in as they grow does best. Give
clean cultivation.

THE FAMILY GARDEN.
What to Plant and How and Where to
Plant 1t.

The first requisite for a good far
mer's garden is an acre of land, pre-
ferably by 20 rods, which is of good
soil and as near the home as he can
get it, Wherever possible it should
be near enough to the kitchen to al
low the wife to have fresh vegetables
six days a week without any great
effort to secure them. Special atten-
ton to this feature pays. The land
should be in good heart if best re-
suits are expected. Stable manure, if
used at all, should be used on corn and
in squash and melon hills only, says
the New England Homestead A good
garden fertilizer is all that's neces-
sary.
The land should be plowed as deep
ly as soil will permit, plowed to the
edge and into the corners, every inch
of it turned over, and narrowed until
it cannot be improved by narrowing. If
it can be narrowed once and left for
a few days and reharrowed, the con-
dition of the soil will be much i'm
proved by the second narrowing. 1t
should not be narrowed when too wet,
nor should it be left until the dust will
fly. Upon the blowing and narrowing
it gets depends in a very large mea-
sure the failure or success of the farm
garden. Good work, of course, means
that the plot has neither fence nor
stone wall around it, and no trees to
interfere with thorough tillage and cul-
tivation. Seed down one-half, by
20 rods, with clover, cowpeas or soy
beans, and plant the other half, alter
mating each season or at least once in
two years.
Plant everything in straight rows,
varying in width according to variety.
Peas should be from SO to so inches
apart for dwarf and tall-growing sorts,
potatoes, beans and corn 80 inches, cab
bage 80 inches, with three or four
seeds dropped where plants are to
stand, to be thinned out until only the
best plant remains for heading. Par
ships, parsley and smaller crops can
be planted between, so that rows are
brought down to Is inches. Early let
tuce can be sown with peas and rad
ishes can be sown with parsley, cell
cry, parsnips etc, saved and quick
growing radishes mark the rows and
allow cultivation ere even the par
snip seeds have sprouted. Head let
tuce should be given fully as much
room as cabbage, if heads are desired
of good size and quality.
Cultivate larger crops with horse
tools and smaller crops with a wheel
hoe If you haven't wheel hoe, buy
one at once, so as to have it ready for
the coming season. When necessary,
use an iron tooth rake for finer work.
The ordinary hoe has no place in the
garden, and If work with wheel hoes is
properly done the use of a rake will
seldom be necessary. Bear in mind
the fact that cultivation is for the pur-
pose of aiding the growing plant, and
not to kin weeds. Cultivation should
begin before weeds show themselves,
and should be done often enough to
prevent their getting foothold. An
hour in the garden every three or four
days With modern tools viii do this if
the work is well done. The result
will be a frst-class garden, which viii
be a source Of profit and of pleasure.
