at the club meeting last night.
1--WE have nothing to do with it.
It is all right if that committee
wanted to get together and fix up
a ticket-that was their privilege
and any twelve men or any
committee can get together and
endorse any ticket, but that will
cut no figure. The people will
probably do their own thinking,
and If they like any man on the
ticket they will support him, and
IL not, they will not"
w. w. Wingard went a little
farther than Snyder. He said the

he intimated that the way it had

The presentation of this spec
tacular array of sewer pipe direc-
tors presenting a sewer pipe can
didate through the instrumental
ity of the committee of twelve
and the Tacoma hotel convention
as was shown by the Times last
might came as an eyeopener to the
citizens of Tacoma, and a bomD
to the sewer pipe crowd.
Today the people are bubbling
over with spicy comment on the
evident activity of the clay pipe
makers to get control of the city
government which has thousands
of dollars worth of sewer work
to do every year.
To the average voter the thing
does not look Just right. They
are not taking any sides in the
controversy between the cement
and clap pipe men, but from the
tone of the remarks on the streets
today the voters are not enthus-
iastic over turning the city ma
chinery over to any special inter-
est that has an AK to grind or
sewer pipe to sell.
The array of Little Falls Fire

prominent in the nomination of

to give a candidate a "clay pipe

One Of the first vegetables of spring,
as well as one of the best grown, is
asparagus. 1t is hardy, grows year

the farm it is a.troublesome crop and
often poor in quality, but by proper
management and cultivation, a first

and easily as any other garden vege-

Asparagus does well on almost any
good, welldrained soil. but best re-

PREPARING THE
FAMILY GARDEN
Suggestions Regarding Proper
Quantity Of Seed to Plant to
Supply Family of SIX With
Vegetables.

People who have not made a study
of gardening are sometimes puzzled
to know how much of each kind Of
vegetable to plant The following
quantities will be sufficient to supply
an average family, say of six persons:
Asparagus-Furrows 20 feet long
and three feet apart
Artichokes-One ounce of seed will
furnish an ample supply.
Pole Beans-Two quarts planted
one week apart
Lima Beans-One quart planted one
week apart.
Beets-Two ounces of seed.
Brussels Sprouts-One ounce Of
seed. This is one of the most de-
licious vegetables raised and should
be in every garden.
Carrots-One ounce of seed.
Cauliflower-One ounce of seed.
This is another excellent vegetable
WHICH is much neglected in the aver
age farm garden.
Celery-One ounce of seed will pro-
duce about fifteen hundred plants.
Sweet Corn-One pint of seed for
each planting. This should be planted
about ten days apart
Cucumbers-One-half ounce of seed
will plant rs hills.
Lettuce-One-half ounce Of seed.
Sow ten days apart.
Onions-Plant two rows Is feet
long. making three paintings ten days
apart
Peas-Did anybody ever raise too
many peas? Plant one quart at Z

Peppers-One-half ounce of seed

Value Of the Hoo.

No animal on the farm Is better
adapted to turning good feed quickly
into marketable meat than the hog.
and none can better repay. from .
market standpoint, a discriminating
system Of feeding. This is particu-
larry true as to first costs. for the hog
is by nature planned to utilize the
least expensive feeds, and win manu-
facture into toothsome pork much
that might otherwise be reckoned of
little value. II not waste. In any phase
of farm economy the hog Is q feature.
and his proper feeding has In innumer-
able instances been the factor that
kept a farms profit on the right side
of the ledger.
The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1910-06-04

Radishes-Sow one-half ounce every
three weeks.
Rhubarb-One dozen roots win last
a family a lifetime.
Spinach-Sow two ounces Of seed
In drills.
Squash-One ounce of seed win
plant about twenty hills.
Turnips-One ounce of seed sown

thinly and do not be afraid to thin
out after the plants come up.
Amateur gardeners often make the
mistake Of planting vegetables too
close together. Plants having large
foliage such a. tomatoes. peas and

LIGHT on Cause Of Tuberculosis.


The sixth annual meeting of the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis was held
in Washington on May and 8. Among
the most interesting papers was one
by DIR. William H. Park, the famous
pathologist and head of the labora-
tories of the New York City depart
ment of health. DR.. Park contended
that pulmonary tuberculosis is very
rarely, If ever, caused by infection
from bovine sources, such as the
drinking of milk or the eating Of meat.
tuberculosis of the stomach and in
ternal organs, which compose only
about ten per cent. Of the sickness
from this disease, are often caused by
drinking or eating infected matter.
Doctor Park substantiated his conclu-
sions by showing the results of years
of investigation and examination of
pathological specimens. His conclu-
sions are substantially those reached
by DR.. Robert Koch, the discoverer of
the tubercle bacillus.
