that are within the means cf the crd-
mary amateur gardener.
The first Is the temporary bed IA
which the manure is spread on the
top Of the ground to the required
depth and a portable frame placed
over 1t.
The second differs only in having a
shallow pit dug to hold the manure.
The third type Is permanent bed,
the frame being made two and a half
feet higher, and built directly In a
pit Of that depth. In a bed OF this
kind the bottom should be tile-draln-
ed, and It Is a good plan to cover 1t
also with layer OF small cobble-
stones or plank. The outside should
be well banked up with manure, earth
or coal ashes.
The last type can be used not only
as a hotbed in the early spring, bat
also when the manure and earth are
cleaned out, 1t can be used IN the fall
as a storage place for plants that
are not quite hardy. such as tea roses
or for bulbs that are to be forced for
winter bloom.
OF the three forms above mention
ed the first Is the easiest and cheap
est to make and therefore the one
best suited to most beginners. The

Richard Mansfeld's just apprecia-
uon of his own talents is sometimes
rather forcibly impressed upon his
fellow-actors. At the production Of a
recent play Mansfield was personally
experimenting the rehearsals. The
leading woman had a difficult part
which she did not do to the star ac-
tors satisfaction. His voice came ON
inously from the darkness Of the
wing, Miss k, go over that part
again." The actress repeated her
lines.
Again" relentlessly said Mansfield.
Once more the actress nervously went
through her part.
Then a firm stride was heard and
Mr.. Mansfield stood In the center OF
the stage, hands clasped, eyes up
turned. his voice booming In deep
chest tones:
Good heavens, would there had
been given to this woman a little of
the intelligence that was so bountifully
bestowed upon mel"-Woman's Home

The well-known Texas horticultur-
ist, Mr.. H. M. stringfellow, has com.
municated to Farm and Ranch some
interesting facts about the keeping
qualities Of peaches grown in sod or.
chards.. He sent peaches from Texas
to Richmond, va. Rochester, N. r.
and Harrisburg, Pa, where they ar
rived in perfect condition without re
frigeration. He also shipped pears
grown on sod land in car load lots to
Chicago without refrigeration and the
pears arrived there in perfect condi
tion. Mr.. Stringfellow argues that
much Of tire poor keeping quality q
fruits and disposition to winterkill OF
injure by drouth, etc, is due to the
cultivation OF the orchard.

Three little lads, none over IS years

Radtke, Sewell and Nicol I'll all the
requirements of a first-class jockey.
For year they have displayed skill,
courage, alertness and strength to
such a remarkable degree that they are
at the top of the ladder. Radtke prob
ably is the greatest of the three. He
was so successful this winter that
"Bub" May, trainer for Paul Rainey,
the young millionaire owner Of the
Tippah Farm stable, offered s27 900 for
the lads release. Radtke will ride
this summer for Jack Keene, who will
come East with big string Of horses.
In all his races Radtke has displayed
the utmost GOODNESS and courage. His
friends say he does not know what

post when his friends had given up
all hope of cashing their bets.
Sewell came East last summer. He
quickly rose from an apprentice boy
to a first class jockey. w. II. Rowe,
owner Of Colonial Girl, that beat Her
mis- in the $4,000 Worlds Fair handi-
cap, soon discovered that Sewell had
great ability, and he engaged him at
big salary. The boy went to New Or
learn this winter and at the Fair
Grounds track soon rode so many win
ners that In spite Of an illness Of sew
eral weeks he managed to hold the
lead among the riders at that track.
Nicol jumped into prominence last
season as the pilot of Sysonby. He
rode that horse in the majority of his
races. James r. Keene was 50 i'm

tracks. During the winter Nicol went

track soon was the leading jockey

Successful Farming asks this ques-
tlon, and then proceeds to answer Il
as follows:
This is an era of combination OF
forces and wealth. Everywhere Is the
effort to eliminate competition. 1t Is
being agitated and attempted as a
necessary step among farmers. There
is a scene In which combinations
may be beneficial. theoretically they
work great good. When a great
many individuals combine and agree
not to fight each other 1t is possible
to cheaper production and manliac'
ture. But the practice does not al
ways follow the theory from the con-
sumer's standpoint. While the arti-
Gle may be more cheaply produced
1t Is not sold as cheaply as though
there was open competition. The
great issues OF the nation today are
based upon the fact that combinations
Of capital may and often do result IN
mcnopolies that throttle competition
and cheaper prices. There is the
element Of greed that almost inyari-
ably enters into combinations.
Cooperation is intended to elimin-
ate the middle man so that the pro-
ducer may get greater profits while
the consumer pays no more than be-
fore. Such combinations are all right.
Bat when farmers desire to combine
on such a scale that they can force
prices up indefinitely on what they
sell, in what respect do they diner
from Standard Oil, the beef trust, or
any similar monopoly? II It Is moral
~ wrong to force consumers to pay a
price fixed by these trusts, then II IS
wrong for the farmers to create an
unnatural price for what they sell.
It is human desire to get even. The
"eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth
rule was the old standard Of trade re-
lations, and that standard is well en-
trenched in the business Of the world
today. The golden rule" Is dust COW
cred in most business houses. It Is
hard to endure monopolistic tactics in
others, yet we have no moral right to
become partners in the crime. Two
wrongs do not make a right. It IS
far better to prevent the other fel-
lows from doing the hoggish act than
by setting in the trough, too. II IS
more consistent to appeal to the law
makers for just laws and legal re-
lief when we have our own hands
free from a similar guilt. A farmers
monopoly Is not one whit better than
coal owners or meat packers mon
opoly. Let rs keep our hands clean
and patiently fight for liberty and
justice. A cooperative movement 70
hold produce and string it along In
stead Of rushing it all to market at
the same time Is a splendid way to
get what is due. The great injury to
farmers is that farm products are
sent to market at once when harvest
ed. Thus it is that the middle man
gobbles up the grain, fruit and vege-
tables and puts them away, and lat
er, sells at an advance. What farm
ers need is to provide storage and
hold some Of the produce till some
time after harvest. This will help
the weaker brother to get his due,
who. by force Of circumstances, is
forced to sell as fast as produced. Let
Justice. not greed, be the ruling pas
sion.
