More Than a Party Man.

That Fort has real spinal column
in place of the cartilage that too often
does sery ice for that important organ
is revealed by other incidents of his
career-for example. his fight against
the bosses of his own party to bring
about better financial system for
Newark or his opposing the wishes of
the politicians by inaugurating civil
service in the state. Manhood tran
sends partisanism. Courage and con-
viction are higher than politics. Gov
ernor Fort is n party man. but he is
more. He is loyal to the organization,
but does not consider that the organi-
Zation consists alone of few bosses.
He is regular and yet, after his own
ideals. is Il refOrmer The first article
of his political creed is the sacredness
Of the law. The next is trust in his
follow man. / think | will have gen

view Governor Fort. To heightcn the
interest of the occasion, the street car
conductor. after the manner of his
kind. carried me several blocks beyond
my destination. When | got off to take

battle of Trenton. Ever since that day

he ran up against the Legislative Hes

Orator of National Repute.

Evidences of backbone accumulate
Twelve years have passed and Mr..
Fort is again a delegate in a national
convention and once more the Chair
man of the committee on credentials.
AS such he prepares and delivers q
scathing report recommending that j.
Edward Addicks-"Gas" Addicks of
Delaware-be fired out of the conven-
ton and out of the party. That was
the Mckinley year, and 1t was also
Judge Forts privilege to make the
nominating speech for Carrot \. Ho.
bart for vice president. l do not know
whether it was the speech that got
Hobart the plum or not, but l have
my suspicious. At any rate, the skin
ming of Addicks and the naming of
Hobart brought Fort a national repu-
tation as an orator.
judge Fort is the author of the pro-
baton system in New Jersey. and the
story of the manner In which he
brought 1t about again reveals his
courage. When he first proposed such
a law he had trouble in finding a leg
islator who would stand for it. His
own senator from Essex virtually re-
fused to introduce the bill. but finally
consented to put it in .'by request"

Value Of Manure.

Keep hauling manure out on the
land ms fast as it is made. 1t is of as
much value to put it on the plowed
ground as it is to pillow it under. Har-
rowed well into the surface, it not only
furnishes ready plant food, but serves
as a mulch for holding moisture in
dry weather 1t may be scattered on
corn ground to advantage all through
the corn growing season as long as
the wagon can be hauled down the
corn rows, Cultivation will spread it
and mix it with the soil and rains will
dissolve out the richness and carry
into the roots of the corn.

MAKE FARM HOMES TASTEFUL
Practical Suggestions for Beautifylno
Country Residences In Any
Locality.

Farming differs from every other sort
Of business in this, that the farm is
not merely factory and place of
business, but 1t is the home of the
family, writes Prof. +. A. Waugh, OF
the Massachusetts Agricultural Col.
lege, in Orange Judd Farmer. The
importance Of the farm as the home
establishment Is much greater than
its importance as a place of business;
and this makes 1t imperative that the
place should be supplied with every
available comfort and made attractive
with every sort of beauty which sub.
stantial good taste can suggest.
The ordinary schemes of landscape
gardening are not very suitable to the
common farm. This is largely be.
cause the ambitious landscape garden.
crs do not sufficiently consider the
use of the farm as factory and a
place of business. The best that can
be done in most cases Is for the farm
or, his wife and other advisers, to de.
volop the grounds to the best of their
own judgment and in the light of &c.
tual requirements. A few suggestions

gardener, who is at the same time
himself farmer, may be of some as
sistance in this direction.
Simplicity is the keynote Of good
taste in everything. Therefore. let
the design of the farm grounds be
very simple. Do not try anything
elaborate. DO not make the place
look citifled.
Have a good lawn. Nothing is more
tasteful and satisfactory than good,
clean, green grass. Even If the lawn
is not very large and not deliberately
graded, 1t will still be the most attsac.
tive part of the place. Have a few
good trees. Nothing is more attrac'
tive about a farmhouse, with the pos.
sible exception of lawn grass, than
large. dignified. noble trees.
For shrubs and other ornamental
plants, use native species. The com.
mon native shrubs and plants are
among the best of all oranmentl ma.
terials.
If flower beds are desired. put them
at the side or rear of the house, pre-.
ferably in connection with the vege
table garden. Flower beds are usu.
ally n nuisance on the front lawn, and
nearly always inappropriate about a
farmyard.
Keep the front yard separate from
the back yard. Everyone will readily
remember a great many farms where
this simple injunction is highly disre.
gardcd. II is not unusual to find 4
milk wagon or n chicken coop or hay
rack left in the front yard of farm.
house. Such things do not belong
there.
Have some space about the house
so arranged that it can be used for
living and playing We do not live
out of doors as much in this country
as we ought to- This statement ap
plies even to farm families. A suit
ably built open porch, paved court oil
clean grass plat, makes delightful
place for serving meals. Very often
1t Is pleasanter to eat out of doors
than in the house; and if definite
plans are made, this is much easier
| than might be supposed. There
should also be room in the garden fol
| playing croquet n secluded and shady
spot where one can sit down to reat
| or sew; and If the women of the house
wish to give a party on the lawn
there should be every opportunity fol
1t.
Keep the place clean and tidy. Thi!
is final evidence of good taste and al
absolutely necessary condition in ev
| cry circumstance.

CULTURE OF THE CABBAGE.
Should Be Planted on New Ground to
Avoid Massot Pest; How to
Set Out.

Although it does not follow that,
planting on new ground will secure
exemption from cabbage maggot at
tack, yet such is the tendency, and
hence 1t will be well to plant or SOW
this crop as far as possible from any
field infested the previous season. The
adult flies do not travel far under nor.
NAL conditions, and il they find shell.
ter near their place OF Matching are
likely to hang around that place and
they will accept any substitute wild
plant rather than fly to distant points
hunting for cultivated plants.
The farther the plants are grown
from previously infested areas the
more apt they will be to remain free
from attack, as rule, and yet even
in new ground, especially near
woods or in a sheltered situation, they
sometimes become more or less infest.
ed 1t is probable that in such cases
there are wild cruciferous plants in
the neighborhoOd in which the insects
have been breeding or sheltered IN
which the flies have hibernated, and II
further emphasizes that no matter
where the crop is grown close watch
should be kept for the insect, and
when once noted active measures
should be begun at once. Likewise,
avoid planting such crops on ground
infested the previous season and fol.
low such infested plots with some
other cruciferous plants.
When cabbage and caulifloweI
plants are set out the soil should be
tightly pressed around the stem of
! the plant at the surface, and the soil
| itself should be pressed down smooth
! fiat and firmly, The newly Matched
maggot is feeble. and If it fails to get
under cover promptly it is killed by
the sun or falls victim to some of the
! proving predatory insects continually
on the lookout for food. On heavy
| soils this in itself affords large
measure of protection, and plants on
| such soils are not so much attacked.
! On lighter sandy soils it will be less
useful. but will add to the difficulties
of the maggot in establishing himself.

IN AGONY WITH ECZEMA.
Whole Body Mass Of Raw, Bleeding,

Would End Fearful Suffering.
In Despair; Cured by cutieura.

Words cannot describe the terrible
eczema l suffered with. 1t broke out
on my head and kept spreading until
1t covered my whole body. l
was almost a solid mass of sores from
head to foot. / looked more like a
piece of raw beef than a human be-
ing. The pain and agony endured
seemed more than could bear. Blood
and pus oozed from the great sore on
my scalp, from under my finger nails.
and nearly all over my body. My
ears were so crusted and swollen I
was afraid they would break off.
Every hair in my head fell out. I
could not sit down, for my clothes
would stick to the raw and bleeding
flesh, making me cry out from the
pain. My family doctor did all he
could, but / got worse and worse. My
condition was awful. l did not think
/ could live, and wanted death to
come and end my frightful sufferings.
in this condition my motherin.law
begged me to try the Cuticura Rem
edies. l said would, but had no hope
lief l experienced after applying Cuti-
cura Ointment. It cooled the bleeding
and itching flesh and brought me the
first real sleep had had in weeks. 1t
was as grateful as ice to a burning
tongue. / would battle with warm
water and Cuticura Soap, then apply
the Ointment freely. l also took Cuti.

short time the sores stopped running,
the flesh began to heal, and / knew
was to get well again. Then the hair
on my head began to grow, and In a
short time l was completely cured.
