Call TO the Conservative South. |"

Call to the Conservative South"
Has not the time come for the
business men of the South-men
of every profession and every
character of business. farmers,
merchants, manufacturers and
all others interested in the real
welfare of this section as distin-
guished from the time-serving
politicians who seek only their
own preferment regardless of all
else-to come together in towns
and State meetings to organize
for conservatism and protection
to property as against the wild
populism of the day? Every
mans business prosperity is be-
ing endangered. Railroad ex-
pansions is being halted because
capital cannot be had for extern
sions or for new roads. Indus
trial enterprises cannot be adj
vanced as would be the case
under better conditions. Men of
thought see these facts. They
know something of what this
condition means to themselves
and to the South as a whole, for
while many Southern States
have not joined the populistic
cry, the whole South suffers
from the action of a few.
Knowing these conditions, why
should not the real business
leaders and property owners, the
man of affairs. come together
and take a decided stand against
the politicians and their de-
structive policies? Such meet
ings in every community headed
by the wisest men of each town
or county and State would have
a great effect upon local senti-
ment and likewise upon the out
side business world. Men of the
South owe it to themselves and
their section TO let the world
know that they are fighting the
battle of conservatism against
the radicalism of the day.
The States wherein legislation,
enacted or threatened, has
brought about the present state
o. affairs should take the lead,
but if they will not, why should
other Southern States not do so
and announce their position to
the world? If West Virginia or
Tennessee or South Carolina or
Kentucky or other States which
have thus far refused to join in
the campaign of destruction,
should hold such meetings and
pledge themselves by all the
united power of the sane people
of the State to stand for fair
dealing, for encouragement to
capital and guarantee that it
should be protected, they would
draw to themselves the forces
which make for business expan-
sion and prosperity. Yea, for
more; for business morality and
and honesty. Great is the op-
portunity for some State to lead
in such a movement and to rally
to itself the conservative infucn-
ces Of the country. Into that
State, when once the world saw
that it meant to carry out such a
program, would flow millions of
capital for investment and thous.
ands of settlers who want to
build their homes in a land free
from the wild sweep of agrarian-
ism and of hostility to all vested
interests. Who will lead?-

The Garden i'm spring.

The first thing to do with a. garden
plot is to pillow it, and harrow the land
until it is as fine on the surface as It
can possibly be made. If the work is
to be done with horse the longer the
rows the better. Use only plump and
sound seed, procured from reliable
seedsmen and use too much seed rather
than too little, as it is easier to thin
out the surplus plants than to replant
the vacant places. Use only well-rot-
ted manure, and work it well into the
soil If fertilizer is used, let 1t be
broadcasted and narrowed 10. The saw
ing Of labor will largely depend upon
watching the weeds. II the wheel hoe
or wheel cultivator is used just as the
weeds are appearing above ground the
top soil will always be kept fine and
loose, and fewer weeds will appear
after each cultivation. Cultivated In
that manner, an ordinary garden can
be worked in an hour or two; but II
the weeds are allowed to grow until
they are several inches high they will
injure the garden plants and increase
the labor fourfo1d. That is the main
point-to cultivate as soon as the weeds
terminate. Do not put in the seeds too
soon while the ground Is cold, as they
may fail to terminate. When the ap'
pie trees are In bloom is the best time
for planting the garden crops, as the
ground will then be In excellent condi-
ton, warm, and the danger from frost
past. Vegetables and small fruits cost
less than corn, wheat and oats In pro
portion to area occupied and the labor
bestowed.

Grazing Land.

The grazing of land by a mixed stock
of cattle, sheep and horses result in
the land being more easily grazed than
when only, one kind is kept. Where,
however, many sheep are kept with
cattle, the sheep pick out the finest Of
the grass and clovers, and the cattle
do not thrive as well. But sheep, on
the other hand, eat with avidity and
impunity much that cattle dislike and
avoid. Many pastures, grazed only
with cattle, are often In the spring
time covered with weeds, which a few
sheep mixed in with the cattle would
keep down. Horses, when kept in a
pasture by themselves, are very uneven
grazers A few kept In a large cattle
pasture will Craze the rank places
where cattle have previously left their
manure, and also about places where
the land has been trampled. Both
horses and sheep will thrive much bet
ter when they are able to select their
own foods.

Profit i'm sQuabs.


A squad breeder says for the past
year our squads have averaged us a
fraction over sixty cents a pair. Now
with an average, as he places 1t, Of
six pairs a ynr. we have a return Of
$3.50. The cost Of breeding can be
brought inside of ninety cents a pair,
IL bought In large quantities. 1t would
be well to. allow 80 cents a pair for
labor and supplies, as grit, charcoal,
tobacco stems, etc, although the ma
nure will, we think, offset this II sold
to the best advantage. Although some
Of the large profit stories in the squad
business are absurd, 1t seems as II the
inexperienced breeder should get a
profit Of $500 year from each pair,
provided he starts with we.l-mated,
pure Homer stock. The one great Sc
cret of success Is to have only mated
birds. The amount of damage one un-
mated bird can do In a loft really
seems incredulous Such a bird In
seeking a mate will visit each nest,
and such visit naturally results in a
fight with the legitimate owner. The
damage may be imagined-eggs rolled
out of the nests and squads trampled
and killed. Good stock Is the secret of
success, and the same care goes hand In
hand with 1t.

The robbery was planned with great
skill, and appears to have been organ

what was going on In the provincial
treasury. In turn, some one connected
with the pirates must have warned the
provincial authorities
In some manner the news that the
Chinese provincial authorities intended
to ship $4,000 In silver by the Sainam
leaked out, when the ship sailed from
Canton. The specie was not aboard,
for at the last moment 1t was with
held. However, some of the pirates
took passage at Canton, others came on
board at Kun Chuk and Kan Kong,
and mixed with the other native pas
sengers. While the ship was nearing
Samohui, several long Chinese junks
came alongside. When they tied up to
the steamer, the pirates on board the
Sainam made signal for the upris-
ing.
The uprising was ingeniously devised.
There appeared to be disturbance
among the Chinese passengers on the
lower deck. Four Indian watchmen on
guard rushed forward to quell 1t, but
as soon as they laid hands on the man
who appeared to have been responsible,
they were attacked by the pirates, who
used revolvers and knives with rapidity
and certainty.

A BREATHLESS MOMENT.

In his Pictures from the Balkans.
J. f. Fraser describes an adventurous
descent which he made from one of the
mountains of Albania. The experience
Is one that is familiar to many, but not
in the same degree. The circumstance
upon which the exciting incident de-
pended was so trivial as to give the
peril all the greater horror.
The descent was zigzag. The tor
rents of innumerable centuries had
worn out chasms, so that our route cut
into the sides of the mountain, cut out
again. and then seemed to slice farther
In. At the bends tumbling stones had
obliterated the track. Rarely at such
points was 1t more than twelve inches
wide.
At first one held his breath, whilst

The EARLY Pasturage.

When stock is given the use Of early
green rye the results are not always
satisfactory, and farmers find that the
cattle lose flesh and less milk is given.
Rye Is one Of the most useful plants
for providing early green food at sea-
son when grass does not appear, but
its injurious effects upon animals Is
not due to the rye being an unsuitable
food, but rather because Of allowing
the animals free access to it. In Its ear
ly stages Of growth (Which are really
the times when it Is most in demand)
it is composed almost wholly Of water,
the proportion Of solid matter being
very small. 1t contains several salts
in solution, and its effects upon the
bowels are laxative; hence 1t Is not
only weakening, but causes the animals
to lose flesh. There Is a right way to
use early rye, however, and that Is to
allow stock on the rye field but short
time each day at first, and then gradu-
ally extend the period of grazing. When
cattle have been kept on dry food for

luxury, and If it Is allowed them Judi
ciously 1t will improve their condition.
Both rye and crimson clover win be
ready for use In a short time, and they
will always prove profitable crops to
those who keep stock, as they shorten
the dry-feeding period Of winter. When
the early green foods are given the
stock, and the bowels are affected, one
Of the Indications is that the green
food Is serving as medicine, and should
too much green food have been con-
sumed, give warm mess of corn meal,
seasoned highly with salt, and a full
allowance Of hay. There Is no danger
In green food, however, If the cows are
not allowed to consume too much, but,
as every farmer knows, there is liabili-
ty Of "bloat" (hoven) by eating any
kind Of green food to excess.

which amounts to more than 100000
600 annually, $239, 333,730 being cred
tied to imports and $170,055,5O4 to ex-
ports.
/ The most valuable asset of Switzer-
land is its position, taken In connec-

geological conformation. Its superb
mountains, silver lakes and picturesque

APPLE ORCHARD CENTURIES OH


In Manzano, N. NJ, Planted By the
Spaniards.
The oldest apple orchard in America,
II not In the world. Is in the center Of
the ancient town of Manzano, eighteen
miles southwest of Estarcia, Torrance
County, N. NJ. Many Of the trees are
more than six feet In circumference,
but all are still fruitful and vigorous,
although neglected for generations.
Little is known of the history of this
orchard, but the oldest inhabitants of
the valley of the Rio Grande remem-
Der the orchard from childhood, and
claim that the trees have not changed
in appearance since then. Venerable
Mexicans and Pueblo Indians tell of
visiting the orchard as far back as they
can remember, and finding apples on
the ground in all stages Of decomposi-
ton at least two feet deep.
The Estancia Valley has been peo-
pied for ages, probably by the kins.
men of the natives found by the Span
ish explorers at Gran Quivira, Abo and
other ancient cities. Probably In the
early days Of the Spanish occupation
some franciscan monk found his way
to Manzano and there planted the seeds
that have developed into these veneer,
able trees. They are no doubt fully
800 years old. -f
Close by the orchard Is little lake
fed by large spring. A short distance
away is grove Of pines and cedars
making an Ideal place for picnic and
camping parties-Kansas City Star.
