The time has come when the bar
rier known as the contract labor law
should be modified so that farmers
could hire the right kind of farm
hands in England and northern Eu-
rope, advertising for them in CO.
operative way in the foreign farm pa
pers or securing them through Amer
lean consular agents. First class men
could be obtained if they could be
legally promised jobs in advance. AS
it is now, only a few of the best class
care to run the chances of coming
over with no definite prospect in view,
and the bulk of our immigration is
not well suited to labor on northern
farms. Importation of trained, relia-
BILE help from northern Europe would
help to solve the immigration prob
lem and that of farm labor as well.
Sift out the low grade immigrants,
but take down the bars against those
who make the best kind of raw mate
rial for citizenship.

Value of Cowneas.

The cowpea is a large beanlike plant
that produces a large amount of for
age. 1t is valuable for a green food
or for blowing under for green ma
nure. 1t has been used successfully
for improving wornout soils, especial
Iy those that are light and sandy in
texture. Its greatest advantage for
this purpose is its ability to gather
nitrogen from the air and mineral ele-
ments from subsoil. When the crop
is plowed under these are left near
the surface, where they will be avail
able to shallow rooted crops and those
which cannot get nitrogen from the
air 1t has been little used for hay in
the north. because it cannot be read
lily dried in this climate. 1t makes
good green feed for milk cows be-
tween Aug. Is and Sept 10, or it may
be preserved in the silo by mixing
with corn fodder.

table raised. but little time and eff,
fort spent in getting a successful crop
will be we'll repaid.
The best way to get early melons is
to plant the seed in berry boxes in a
hotbed or in the house about six weeks
before the usual date for planting
them outdoors. The soil should be rich
and fine About ten seeds should be
planted in each box. After the plants
are well up all but three of the strong
est can be destroyed.
When the weather becomes warmer
the boxes can be transferred to the
cold frame and the plants gradually
hardened. When all danger of frost
is past and the soil outside has be-
come warm the melon plants can be
set out i'll the garden. Six feet apart
each way is the best distance fol-
muskmelons and eight or ten feet for
watermelons. A fire shovelful of pouI-
try manure mixed with the soil of each
hill will greatly hasten the growth of
the melons. In transplanting make a
hole about the size of the berry box.
Strip off the sides of the box carefully
so as not to disturb the roots, place
the cube of dirt in the hole and pack
fresh dirt around it.
The future care will consist mainly
Of thorough cultivation and protection
from striped beetles.

CANNING VEGETABLES.
How 70 Treat Them So They vii
Keep Their Freshness.


Keep Their Freshness.
The glass jars that are to be uset
for canning should be set In a boiler
Of cold water, placed on the stove ana
boiled for from ten to fifteen minutes
This completely steriiizes them, de
stroying the bacteria that cause fer
mentation. The jars should be left II
the boiling water until the momen
they are to be used The rings anC
covers should be sterilized in the same
way.
Rhubarb can be easily canned anG
kept for winter use, when it makes an
canned fruit Rhubarb for canning
should be cut when it is young and
tender, washed well and cut into pieces
about two inches long. Pack these
pieces tightly into the jars and ill with
cold water. After about ten minutes
pour off the water and fill again, to
overlooking this time. Seal the cans
tightly and the rhubarb will keep until
you are ready to use it.
When the tomatoes do well there is
usually an abundance of fruit-much
more than can be used while il is fresh.
1t takes care to can tomatoes so that
they will keep, but with little prac-
tice it can be done. The tomatoes
should first be washed thoroughly and
then boiled for about six minutes. Aft
er this preliminary treatment they
should be peeled and sliced. Then put
them in a Kettle and heat slowly, stir
ring frequently. Boil for half an hour
and then put into the jars and seal
tightly.
These are about the only vegetables
that are available for canning unless
it is ground cherries, which make de-
icious preserves. If the family likes
horseradish an extra amount of it can
be prepared in the spring, when it is
plentiful, and kept for use later in the
season.

Big Fire in Hyde Park.
Started in County Jail and 20 Families
Left Homeless.

Left Homeless.
Twenty families in Hyde Park vii
lage are homeless and property valued
at 100000 lies in ashes as the result
of the worst FIRE the place has ever
known on Sunday last. Among the
destroyed buildings are the county
jail, court house. jailer's residence, Con-
gregational church and the residence
of H. NJ Mcfarland. The fire origin
ated at the county Jail at about 11.3O
a. M, stovepipe igniting the wood
work of the second floor. This build
ing was soon in flames and from here
the fire was communicated to the adj
joining court house and Jailer Howard
Stevens residence. The fire department
inadequate at best, were delayed about
As minutes before the pumping appara-
tus was in full operation. Before this
time had expired it was impossible to
throw a stream higher than the first
story of the court house and the men
could do little but helplessly look on.
Hurry calls were sent to Morrisville,
Stowe and Johnson and these towns re-
sponded promptly, their work probably
saving what remains of the village.
WITH the COnDln6Q 6uOIlS Oh IuG IOuI
departments the fire was finally placed
under control at about five O'Clock just
before it reached the residence of Senator
c. 5. Page and the Hotel Phoenix. By
this time, however, 10 buildings had
been burned.
The fire was not confined to the village.
Burning brands were carried a half mile
to the farm buildings of Daniel Smith,
which were destroyed, and over mile to
a sugar orchard. where fire started.
The estimated losses are as follows:
County jail, court house and jailer's
residence, SIS, 900; town house. $4,000;
Congregational church, SIS, 1000; resi-
dence of H. M. Mcfarland, $12, 900; resi-
dence OF S. B. Waite, $4,000; McFar-
land & Smalley tenement house, 1000;

Tomato GROWING.

Tomatoes must be started in the hot
bed or in the house early in March, es-
pecially in the northern states, if salts
factory results are expected. They
should be transplanted to the cold
frame about two weeks before they
are set out in the garden in order to
harden them. Frequent transp1anting
also makes the plants more stocky and
develops the root system.
AS soon as danger of frost is past
the plants may be set out in the gar
den. If early tomatoes are wanted
the best plan is to pinch off all side
shoots, leaving only the main stem.
This should be tied to a strong stake
four or five feet high to hold it erect.
When trained in this way the plants
can be set out in rows three and half
feet apart and about two feet apart in
the row.
Another plan is to make four sided
rack about a foot square at the bot
tom by a foot and half at the top.
It should be about four feet high, with
two or three Stats on each SIDE One
of these is placed over every hill and
the vines trained up over it. They
ripen much better when handled in
this way than where they are allowed
to spread out on the ground, and there
is not nearly so much loss from rot
ting. Where this method is used the
plants viii have to be set out about
three and half feet apart each way.
In case there is danger OF a frost
just as the fruit is beginning to ripen
a little straw may be put over the
vines nights and removed during the
day.
