the cold weather kept them back.

area of land comprising thousands of
acres is flooded. The city park at
Cavalier is overlooked and at Hamilton,
RATS were used to get to the station and
in places near there the G. N. track was
under water. The food however, in
itself means nothing more than tempor-
airy inconvenience and will soon pass
away. Ordinarly.it would have done much
damage to seeded fields, but this year
the water is likely to subside about as
soon as seeding commences. Though
the water will probably leave some land
wet that would otherwise be ready
sooner.

the pictures of this home which
were used for campaign purposes
were taken at an angle tending to
make the house appear larger than
the capitol building. In the recent
campaign against Representative
Wadsworth in New York, pictures
were circulated of 1.-The gorgeos

harm TO BIr. Wadsworth. They
were not photographs of his home,
but of a home owned by man of

article attacking Senator Spooner,
which was printed last year, there
appeared a photograph bearing the
designation, Senator Spooner feaV-

THE FREE SEED FARCE.

The recent refusal OF the house of
representatives TO consent to the

criticism in all parts of the country.
showing that while some of the
people undoubtedly still favor this
petty graft, there is a strong and
increasing. sentiment opposed to it,
OF course it is easy to understand
why congressman who regard the
free seed prize package as valuable
political asset should be disinclined
TO stand by the recommendation of
the secretary of agriculture, out
after all it is rather surprising to
find so many members willing to
oppose a meritorious reform. No
one knows better than the con-
uressmen themselves that the free
seed distribution serves no useful
purpose to compare with the annual
expense of the government in pro-
vidlng and forwarding these ire
minders," and yet they cling to this
system with a persistency that is
quite remarkable, especially as the
plan is now coming into such gen.
eral disrepute.
The absurdity of the practice of
buying common garden seeds from
dealers and then dispatching them
broadcast on the reqnisitlon of con-
gressmen, seeking not so much to
stimulate horticulture as to Guilt
Yate political popularity, has long
been recognized by the department
of agriculture. Secretary j. Sterl-
ing Morton once tried to abolish the
gift seed package outright, but con-

is served. or can be served, by the
governments purchasing seeds
which every seed dealer has for sale,
and then ranking them gratis to
persons who in most cases have not
asked for them and have no public
or scientific end in view in expert
