Try some squashes-Boston Mar
row, Summer Crookneck and Hub
bard, and don't forget the Florida
cushaws and Florida pumpkins.
Now a word about marketing the
crop already grown, such as onions,
beans, cabbage, tomatoes and Irish
potatoes.
Classify and select carefully all your
produce you intend to send to East
ern markets. Only the best will pay
to ship SO far at high rates Of trans
pOrtatiOn.
Thoroughly dry onions and handle
them carefully. Remember all, or
nearly all, tender vegetables will
die them somewhat as eggs are hand
led. If the Eastern market is not
good, hold onions. There is general
ly a market for them during the
summer.
Snap beans must be gathered dry,
and boxed dry. If they are stunted
and poorly grown better keep them at
home or send to nearby places.
Know the needs Of the town as to
cabbages before shipping this product
If they still have on hand cabbage Of
last years crop, as many sections
have until later, find a place where
this product is wanted. Cabbage is
usually shipped in barrels or crates
Be sure to ventilate all barreled stuff
with at least three openings; two by
six inches is about right. To keep
out rats Or vermin while en- route,
cover these places with wire tackled
on the outside.
Get the advice of those having ex-
perience in packing and selecting to-
matoes to insure success.
Irish potatoes should be ripe before
being dug. Be sure not to let the
sun shine on them after they are
out Of the ground, not even for an
hour. The potatoes are tender and
the sunshine is too strong. Handle
carefully las noted. Grade close1y
into first and second-class. Pack
tightly in new barrels, ventlated-

FOR CLEANING SILVER.

A useful preparation for cleaning
silver may be made of half a pound of
yellow soap, half a pound of wash
ing soda, and six and half pounds
of whiting. These ingredients should
be boiled together in sufficient water
for half an hour and stirred continu-
ously until a thick paste has been
formed. This should be placed in
jars, and used instead of soap
when washing silver or plated arti-
cles, soft or clean leather being
afterwards used to give a polish.

ness at which to pick them for ship
ment. They must be we'll colored
and just light patches on them, but
not approaching the ripe stage, for
generally by the fastest transporta-
ton, it will take from four days to
a week to get them to market. The de-
gree of ripeness, then, must be in
proportion to the distance to market.
Try to sell at home or at your
orchard to the representative of
commission house. A very moderate
price at home for cash in hand is a
sure thing, and much more satisfac-
tory than the promise of big price
in the cities of the East and North
If you do pack your peaches, get some
one to show you the form and require
ments Of the market you propose to
ship to. Grade closely into fancy and
frst-class; keep the others at home.
Your local merchant can generally
put you onto the reliable fruit houses.
Garden Work for May.
In planting for this month the aim
will be for home use and nearby mar
kets.
The main crops would be sweet po-
tatoes, okra, collards, beans and to-
matoes, with some squashes, melons,
mustard and eggplant
Plant an early crop Of sweet pOta-
toes as soon as the first good rain
comes. Use stable manure if possible,
about as you would for Irish potatoes
as to quantity. This is one of the
crops that seems to do best when
planted as soon as the ridges are pre-
pared. You will use draws for your
first planting. Put them in about six
inches deep and firm the soil around
the plant. Put them out toward even
ing so as to have the GOODNESS and
moisture of the night on them. The
kind I like best is a deep yellow
potato, probably named the Yellow
Providence.
Put out a good patch of okra. 1t
will sell in your local market, and is
fine for home use.
The eggplant will also be appreciat-
ed both at home and in the local mar
ket.
For greens, cur1ed mustard is fine
and will probably stand the summers
heat
Plant also some collards. This is
a coarse sort Of run-out cabbage,
only the leaves of which are used
for greens, and they are very accept
able before the cabbages of the next
fall are ready for use.
For the home supply would plant
quite patch Of tomatoes; I mean set
out the plants; they are always in
demand.
Also little watermelon patch for
home use may be planted yet
Put out some more sweet corn. 1t
may do better than the early-planted
this year. Country Gentleman is the
best
Beans, both pole and bush varie-
ties, should be planted p1entifully this
month. Jackson's Wonder and the
Little ,Seva are the most reliable. Try
also Stringless Bush Snaps, and Ken
lucky Wonder.

den crops are very backward, in fact
some are all ready to plant corn
and peas, and waiting for rain.
At this date, April 10th, there has
not been real good rain for several
months. Under the circumstances
the best we can do with the corn that
has come up, with the cane, cassava,
peas, etc., is to keep the harrow 60
ing between the rows to conserve the
moisture, not allowing it to escape
The Acme harrow is as good a tool
as | have found for this purpose. The
ordinary one-horse harrow will go
nicely between the rows Of farm
crops.
| would continue to plant corn up
get in all | wanted before.
Prepare the ground for some crops
to be planted such as peanuts, rice,
sweet potatoes, cow peas, and more
forage crops for the cows, horses and
poultry.
Be sure and plant some pearl millet,
teosinte and common corn for green
feed.
Make the rows rich and plant corn
thick to be cut when two feet high.
If the chickens are in confinement,
they will want something daily, such
as mustard, cabbage, etc. Plant some
curled mustard especially for them
Aim to raise a full crop of cOwpeas;
these cOWpeas can be made the main
feed for the stock and poultry. The
French varieties are the more produc-
tive peas, besides more convenient to
cut and gather. The WhippOOrWill
brown speckled pea is as good as
any. The early ard late cowpeas
are good for poultry, also fine for
table use. By the way, there is a
variety Of these peas especially for
table use, the Sweet Crowders and the
Lady Finger Plant the peas between
the corn, at the last working, and
they will make a good crop.
See to it that the stock, especially
horses and COWS, have shade and
access to pure water. If there is no
shade in the field, make brush houses,
or let them come to the regular
stable, when the SUN grows hot
1t would seem best to let COWS and
horses Craze during the night, thus
avoiding the heat and flies.
In the Orchard and Grove.
The main work should be to en-
courage moisture to help the trees to
hold their fruit. This can be done
either by heavy mulching about the
trees or keeping the Acme harrow 60
ing to induce the moisture from
below to come near the feeding roots.
Don't be alarmed at the dropping of
the oranges, as too many generally
set to mature.
Before the June calendar, the early
peaches will be ready to ship. The
Jewel often ripens in early May.
This peach when properly handled
often brings handsome price, be-
cause it is the first in market, First

STANDARD CUTS OIL PRICES
Reductions Made In Europe and the
Far East In Campaign to In
crease Use Of Kerosene.

New York.. 1. C. Clarke, through
whom the Standard Oil company
makes its official announcements to
the public, has issued statement to
the effect that the company has en-
tered on a thoroughly mapped out
campaign to increase the consumption
of kerosene In European countries and
the lands Of the Orient. The first
move in this campaign is the reduc-
ton of the prices Of oil in those coun-
tries. Mr. Clarke's announcement says
in part:
I The Standard Oil company has In
augurated a campaign to increase the
worlds consumption of refined oil.
The level OF prices for refined oil to-
day in the United States Is lower than
at any time during recent years. and
as direct result of these prices the
consumption Of refined oil In this
country is increasing. The same pol.
ilcy is now being actively pursued
abroad"
AS indicated by this statement. the
Standard company began trying out
the policy Of lower prices in the
United States, though without an
nouncing that it had In view q cam
paign that would cover the world. In
August the price of refined oil In
tanks was reduced from 81 to 81
cents gallon. and the price Of re-
fined oil in barrels at the refinery was
cut cent. from 9A to s& cents 2
gallon.

OF Deceased Legislator Gives EsL
dence In Lorimer Hearing.

| Chicago. John Frederick. state
senator, and Lee O'Nefl Browne will
have to testify before the Lorimer In
vestigating body without reserve.
The senate committee, after consid-
ering the plea of Frederick that he be
allowed to testify generally without
being compelled to give specific an
swefs to questions involving dates and
circumstances, Wednesday decided
unanimously to reject it. The sena-
tors hald that Frederick must testify
without reserve, as he had not plead
ed that his constitutional rights were
jeopardized.
Broderick's plea that specific testi-
mony would be unfair to him in view
of the fact that he was to be tried in
Sangamon county on a bribery charge
was held to be an inadequate reason
for his request.
The ruling also win apply to Lee
O'Neil Browne and Robert E. Wilson,
from whom Legislator Charles A.
White, H. ]. C. Beckemeyer and Mi
chael Link declare they received
money after their votes for Lorimer.
Aside from the Broderick decision
chief interest at the hearing centered
in the testimony of Mrs. Charles n.
Luke, widow of a legislator who is
said to have informed her of bribery
attempts in the legislature shortly be
fore his death.
Mrs. Luke admitted that she had
seen her husband In possession OF
an unexplained $3.50 shortly after the
adjournment Of the assembly which
elected Lorimer. Luke is alleged to
have confessed before his death to H.

Daniel d. Donahue, Democratic rep
resentative from Bloomington, testi-
fed that he had heard talk about
money In connection with Senator
Lorimer's election and had been ap-
preached with requests to vote for
Lorimer. but he denied that he had
been offered any money to vote for
Lorimer or that he had been tempted
