Hotbeds.

To the amateur gardener a hotbed
Is most useful. In it he can SOW seed
OF his lettuce, radishes and other veg
etables, as we'll as his favorite annual
flowers, long before the danger of
frostbite to exposed plants is over; and
when the inexperienced neighbor is
planting his seed in the garden proper.
the hotbed owner will have we'll estab-
lished seedlings to set out and will
have flowers and vegetables a week or
more before his neighbor.
The hotbed is nothing but board
edged pit in which there is fermenting
manure covered with several inches of
soil. The pit is covered with glass
sashes which usually measure or
feet wide by feet in length. At
night the glass may be covered with
boards or straw mats for protection.
The frame may be OF one-fnch boards
which should be foot wide at one end
and eighteen inches wide at the other
so as to give the glass slope ena bling
the water to run off. If thicker
boards are used the frame Will be
heavier and more lasting.
Horse manure is best for hot beds.
1t should be collected a short time be-
fore using and turned once or twice
1t should then be stacked from one to
three feet deep, two feet wider and
longer than the sash, and. the frame
should then be set on the manure.
Four or five inches of soil should be
then placed inside the frame on the
manure which should be we'll firmed
The frame may then be covered with
the glass. The temperature within the
frame Will rise for a few days and then
become cooler; when it is about 80
degrees seeds may be planted or young
plants set in the bed
The season for hotbeds varies with
latitude and purpose. For most pur-
poses 1t may best be made in the latter
part of February or the first of March,
1t is sometimes the practice to dig a
pit and fill it with manure so that tho
bottom of the bed is even with the top
of the ground. There is danger that
the pit will be filled with water.

The future of the Republican party
of Kansas looks very dark. The great
mass of Republicans who support the
party purely from principle, observe
the trend of events in the party with
concern and regret We believe the
Herald properly interpreted the spirit
of Republicans when it said over a
year ago that the leaders of the party
and held to account for their acts. A
political upheavel has been brewing
for long time. Every Republican
voter in Kansas thinks he has seen it,
are in hopeless minority.-Sa betha

KANSAS CONHEUT
A FARM LESSON.


Brains and a Willingness to work
count for more in the battle of life
IMAM do tools and expensive equip
ments The story is told of a farmer
VINO was always telling how much
money ne could make on his farm if
ne only had the tools. The reason he
could not pay off the mortgage and
get aheads he said, was because he
had no tools to work with. He needed
cultlVators and rakeS and binders and
lots of things One day relative died
ana left him a legacy of two thousand
dollars and the farmer at once went
in for tools. The first thing he bought
was the most improved self-binder
although he did not have a stalk of
wheat on his place. Nothing like
having the tools handy when you need
Them he explained, when his friends
expostulated. Then he bought two
hundred dollar hay-loader, although
he had only five acres of hay. Riding
plows and cu1tivators, patent feed
troughs, self-opening gates, and every
labor saving device he had ever seen
or heard of. he brought home to his
little eighty acre farm, and in three
years the farm was sold to satisfy
mortgage. His next neighbor, with
the same kind of farm and with no
other machinery than common plows
and mower, saved two thousand dol
lars in three years. 1t isn't the tools
so much as the man back of them that
counts. -Lindsborg News.

A change of twenty eight votes
in the Texas Legislature would
have changed Senator Bailey S
majority to a minority. Fifteen
members intimated hat they would
not have voted for him had they
not been instructed. One member,
Mr.. Gaines, said: 81 think it is
better for a Representative to vote
for bad man, as | believe Mr..
Bailey is, than to shatter an ideal
of representative government, the
observance of which is the hope of
the Nation, and break faith with
his people. Having discharged
with scrupulGus fidelity my

for him feel as Mr.. Gaines does,

SJusrlox TO 1nE RAILROADS.

Congress has voted itself, Senate
and Lower House combined, 81
10000 increased pay annually
forever. The Government officials
have nearly all had increased sala-
ries in the late years Now the
postal clerk comes in for a raise,
about the fifth in as many years.
The carriers come afterwards. All
the Governors have had their sala-
ries set higher and the 9th er State
officers one way or another. On
the other hand the railroads have
had their taxes increased beyond
equitable comparison with other
property, they are required to pay
more cash for everything they buy
and for labor with fewer hours,
and yet it is proposed to regulate
the rates, which means reduce the
rates, on freight and travel alike,
for whoever heard of Commission
regulating rates up? A few foolish
Journals in Georgia, Alabama and
elsewhere continue to harp on the
great crime of the railroads is not
seeing how beneficial it will be 10
themselves toeut the rates on every
thing they haul. It's a short
sighted policy, these smart folks
write, not to do so, and if the rail
roads would only leta fifteen cent
editor or thirty cent writer direct
their affairs the railroads could pay
themselves big dividends out of the
abundance that would be left.

The bill forbidding corporations
to contribute to political campaign
funds has at last passed the House

signature. There is no reason TO
think that this measure is going

means that an important step has
been taken toward the publication
of our national elections. 1t is tree
