Raising 40 Varieties on One Farm

out in the town of Moscow. Wash
ington, 4 farmer has raised 40 distinct
varieties of vegetables and fruit upon
his 100 acre ranch and the Spokesman
Ravi, W, published at Spokane. makes
the achievement the subject of long
editorial in which it is claimed that
the INLAND empire" as they proudly
characterize that section of the great
soil in America. Far be it from us to
say word in disparagement Of the
soil of Washington or of any part Of
that prosperous and growing section of
the country, but in looking over this
list Of 40 varieties of vegetables and
fruits as published by the Spokesman
Review, we fail to see anything which
cannot be produced and which is not
produced here in New England.
In fact. where 40 varieties are men,
| toned as a great achievement on that
Washington ranch. a farmer in almost
any pdit VI ANcN might iiha nv
it 14O varieties if he cared to
scatter his energies and divide his
attention in such a manner. Here
is the list of the Washington
farmers prize collection: ten va
rieties Of peaches, hops, three varieties
of pears. parsley, caulifiower. three
| kinds of prunes. field, sweet and pop
| corn. cucumbers, IA varieties OF apples.
two kinds of beans peppers, two
kinds Of grapes. two of cherries,
two of onions. three of cantaloups. two
of tomatoes. two of potatoes, two of

New POSTAGE Stamps Coming.

The new two-cent stamps which will
soon be issued will bear the familiar
features of the Father of His Country,
| bat re will appear in profile rather
than in full face view as at present.
The same change will be made in the
case of Benjamin Franklin, who will
continue on the one-cent issue. AS
Franklin was the first great editor Of
the country, it is especially appropriate
that his face appears upon the ONE
cert stamps which are mainly used
for sending newspapers through the
mail The new twO-cent stamps. we
are told. will be more artistic. with
their present simplicity replaced by.
something more ornate. such as
wreathed border and difference of
shape
The postage stamp is comparative
having been in use only about 90
years. Before that the money was
paid directly to the postmasters when
the letters were mailed. The govern
ment was somewhat timid about VEN
turing upon the innovation and first
permitted the pospmasters of half
dozen cities in various states to ex-
perimepf with the stamps before they
we're put in general use. This was in
lS45 and the success of the postage
stamps system was so immediate
and entirely beyond question that
in 184I the government ordered a
general issue with its own respon-
sibility behind it, The first post
age stamps had no perforated di-
visions for easy separation as at
present, but had to be cut apart with
care, one by one Now that these prac-
teal improvements have been made,
it is in order to take up the artistic
side of the stamp, and this is what
Uncle Sam apparently proposes to do
in the new series.

The political itinerary of Mr.. Hearst
indicates that he is planning to lead a
very strenuous life in the closing days
of the campaign in New York. He is
due for a speech at Cooper Union to-
night and on Monday will start for
an upstate tour during which he will
speak at Binghampton, Syracuse. AL
bany and Cohoes. After Thursday, the
22nd. he will divide his time between
New York City and the rural sections
of the state. Saturday evening. Octo-
her "a, he will speak at Carnegie Hall
in New York City and the following
Saturday night, october 81. at Madison

The Democratic Estimate.

After long figuring and much rain
bow chasing, the experts at the DEM
ocratic natioral headquarters have in
New York City figured out table of
states which if carried, would give Bry-
an POI electoral votes and secure his
election by 10 majority. The values of
this table will appear when 1t is known
to include such states as Indiana, Ohio.
West Virginia and New York. 1t is
certainly an admission on the part OF
MIR Bryan's managers that his cause
is in desperate straits when his man.
ayers are obliged TO include these four
states, all of which are safely Repub.
lican, in the only combination which
they can make out that gives any mar
gin of success for the Nebraska man.
The loss of either New York or Ohio
alone would put this combination to
the bad as would also the loss of In
diana and West Virginia, but not only
is the weakness of this desperate claim

four states. but it includes also the
states of Maryland Missouri. Nebraska
ard Kentucky in every one of which
tie prospects of Republican success in
November are exceedingly bright.
President Roosevelt is said to be very
confident that Mr.. Taft will have BOG
electoral votes. and even his political
enemies must admit that no man in
American public life has ever been
mere accurate than he in his predic-
tons of political results. nor is there
any one in closer or more general
touch with public sentiment through
out the country.
