The Kansas City Star experimental
with an acre of land this past summer
to see what could be realized in an
ordinary garden to help in the sup
port of a family. In twelve months
this acre of ordinary ridge land. not
all of it having a good soil, netted
$1,106. The gross earnings were ST.
611.35. The expense included wages
($5 a week and board) during the
larger part of the year. Experienced
gardeners worked this acre and it was
close to one of the best markets. But
they have shown conclusively that a
garden may do much for the support
of any family. willing and able to give
attention to it.

OUR NEW POSSESSION.

Probably one of the next steps we
will take will be to establish a protec,
torate over Nicaragua. AS long as
she is coming into the family it may
be well to know something about her
Here are the facts
There is only four square miles
difference between the area of Nicar
aqua and the state of New York
Take Connecticut out of New England
and Nicaragua would cover the rest
of 1t. 1t is approximately half the size
of the state of Washington. To be
exact, it covers $4,000 square miles
which is larger than Holland, Belgi
um and Denmark combined. 1t has a
remarkable extent of coast line on
two oceans. On the Caribbean, II
reaches nearly 300 miles due north
and south; on the Pacific, It extends
225 miles. It's greatest width is 275
miles, or approximately the distance
from Washington to New York. Its
least width is 125 miles. or approx

is low lying and warm, the central and

famous and elevated that the temper.

the climate can be considered salubri-

the greater part of the population is
located, has such a varying latitude
and the country is so broken with

is not by any means as hot as it ap-

BRYAN HEDGES AGAIN.

Mr.. Bryan is hedging again.
This time it's on the prohibition
proposition.
Some weeks ago a report came out
of Lincoln to the effect that Mr. Bry-
an had espoused the cause of national
prohibition. He was going to make
that his paramount issue for the next
presidential campaign. That was the
water wagon he would ride into the
white house on.
Democrats everywhere protested
against this issue. There was a gen.
eral cyclone following the announce.
ment. But Mr.. Bryan let the state
ment stand for several weeks, looking
on and systematically taking note of
what people said. With his ear to the
ground he found the issue was unpop-
ular as a general proposition with
leading democrats, SO he backs up and
says he never meant it. He doesn't
expect to live to see national prohibit
tion. No, no.
He wants the liquor traffic regulat-
ed, that's all.
It's the same kind of a back-up that
characterized the peerless leader when
he withdrew his statements, made in
Madison Square Garden, about federal
ownership of railways. He found it
was unpopular, and took it back. If
it had been popular, he would have
been father of a new idea.

THE CRISIS IN ENGLAND.

Not for more than 200 years has
England confronted a crisis such as
that which now faces her. The issue
is not matter of domestic or foreign
policy it is one of revolution. The
constitution of Great Britain itself is
threatened with permanent change.
The liberal party has gone over
entirely to socialism. 1t has been evil
dent for the last year or two that
the voters do not approve of this; and
at every bye-election the unionists
made such gains that it was clear that
they would succeed to power whenever
another general election took place.
1t became necessary, if the liberals
were to hang on, that they should
play politics.
This they did by forming a budget
which it was impossible for the house
of lords to accept. 1t is true that the
great land-owning interest in Great
Britain has always acter the hog. 1t
has never contributed it's share of
taxation. But by this bill it is al
most confiscated. The capital of the
country is directly attacked, and must
be driven away if these provisions
were to be carried out. The worst
of it is that the money thus raised
is to be spent partly on new war
preparations, approved by national
hysteria, and partly on corrupting So
cialistic nostrums.
The liberals care nothing for the
principles involved. What they have
sought, and what they have succeed.
ed in doing, is to make an issue out
of the house of lords. The commons
have the exclusive right to originate
money bills. The approval of the lords
has always been a mere formality.
BY forcing the lords to disapprove
this monstrosity of budget, the party
in power can appeal to the country
on the ground that the lords are
usurping power in a revolutionary way.
The real issue is whether or not the
upper house shall be abolished.
On the other side, there is no worth
ier choice. The conservatives are al
ready committed to the worst features
of liberal socialism. They would pro-
tect the big land holding interest as
in the past, and throw the burden on
the people And they would restore
the protective system, which would
be madness for a country wholly de-
pendent on foreign markets. 1t is
an evil choice that lies before England.

President Hill of the Great Northern
railway makes some severe but de.
served criticisms on the way the gov
ernment has handled the public lands
in the United States. He says there
still remain millions upon millions of
acres of valuable public lands and In
dian reservations in the west, undevel-
oped and unoccupied, while millions
of men and women in the more thickly
settled portions of the country are
making hopeless struggles, to procure
homes for themselves and their chill
dren. Much of this land is still unsur.
veyed. Why doesn't the government
throw open these sections and provide
for doing this in manner that will
enable the deserving worker, the in
dustrious men and women to make a
home for their families instead of al
lowing it to be grabbed up by land
spectators who do not intend to de-
velop it, as most of the Flathead reser-
vation was? The future of the nation
depends on the success of the farms.
They are the country's most valuable
asset, the basis of all industry.

Canada has law known as the
Industrial Disputes Investigation Act,
which has done much to prevent in
the dominion such disastrous strikes
as that from which the United States
is now suffering. 1t provides that
neither employees nor employers in any
mine or public utility shall resort to
strike or to lockout until the dispute
shall have been investigated by a
board of conciliation and investigation
appointed by the minister of labor.
The chief merit of the law is its sim
plicity. 1t compels neither party to
arbitrate nor to abide by an arbitra-
tion imposed upon it, After the board
has investigated, if it cannot concili-
ate, the contending parties may then
fight it out as they see fit. The object
of the law is to check any immediate
rash action and compel both parties
to consider the matter seriously before
hostilities actually begin. In America
the hostilities come first and make
such bad feeling between employees
and employers that adjustment is much
more difficult. The law has worked
admirably in Canada and something
of that nature would save the United
States great deal of loss and suf-
fering.

can be helped by running water into

tarred paper may be placed over the

Another point to look to Is to see
that the inner walls are rs smooth as
possible, so that the silage will settle
evenly. Uneven settling means air
spaces and decay.
Some expense can be saved In build
ing silo by having 1t extend four or
five feet below the surface of the.
ground. If deeper than this 1t will be
too much work to get the silage out.
Either cement. hard burned brick or
stone may be used for building the
foundation. The foundation up to the
surface of the ground should be eight
to ten inches thick. with bearing sur
face about four inches wider. The
foundation should be flush with the
walls of the sio on the inside, so as not
to interfere with the settling of the
silage. If the soil Is of hard, imper-
vious clay no floor will be needed. In
looser soils cement floor four to six
inches thick, made as described in arti-
Gle 2. will be necessary.
Size Of the Slo.
The size of the sio will depend upon
the amount of stock to which silage Is
to be fed. 1t is better to get size from
depth rather than from diameter, as
the pressure due to additional depth
causes the silage to keep better. This
greater compactness also increases the
capacity of the silo. If fresh silage is
to be had at all times the silo should
be of such size that at least two
inches in depth will be fed each day.
If fed slower than this it will spoil on
top and the value will be reduced. The
ordinary size for a quarter section is
sixteen feet in diameter and thirty feet
in depth. If more capacity is wanted
ten to twenty feet may be added to the
depth. The following table. condensed
from bulletin 100 of the Iowa expert
ment station, gives the capacity of silos
