THE PASSING OF THE BOSSES

THE PASSING OF THE BOSSES
Mr.. William Barnes Jr., a pea.
nut politician of New York who
is,aspiring to the dirty and much
frayed Boss mantle pulled a little
while since from of the dishon.
cred shoulders of old Tom Platt
by "that fell sergeant death,
thought that the g0od-natured
people of the Empire State were
going as Of yore tamely to sub
nit to his gang misrule as they
had to Platt's-and indeed, the
powerful machine he had Inherit
ed was strong enough to defeat
much OF the good legislation pro-
posed by Governor Hughes; but
an awakened public with a cham.
pion, whose little finger is big
enough to make a gross of Willie
Barneses, reduced that hitherto
impregnable machine to kindling
wood at Saratoga on Tuesday
last. OF course Willieis mad
about it, but even in his hour of
tribulation he remembers the
dear people to whose interests
he was so devoted, and is issuing
a series of proclamations where.
in with turgid mock heroics he
warns the State and Nation of
the grave peril that will result
from following the revolutionary
counsels Of that bad, unsafe man
Roosevelt, who is bidding the
people kick their thieying Bosses
out and themselves resume the
reins of government. "We are
facing q great crisis" is the per-
fervid cry of shat statesman as he
mourufully pictures the party
going to the demnition bow vows
and the whole country to boot
all because the fool people refuse
any longer to let those patriotic
statesman, Tim Woodruff, Lou
Payn and himself fix things in
their caucuses, butinsist on hav.
ing at the primaries-those
wicked, revolutionary primaries
Ia hand in their own affairs!
Willie arose in his seat in the
party caucus the other day, and
stridently harrangued on behalf

clans roll up equally without

But now that Jim and Bill and
Tim, the later triumvirate who
thought to partition, like a set
of Roman conquerors, their great
commonwealth, have been repu-
dated by the people at the polls,
even in their own towns and
wards, and themselves and their
whole outfit, ,inglorlously walloped
to a frazzle at Saratoga, that
pompous hop-o.my-thumb boss.
let, Willie Barnes, Jr. is at lib:
erty to sit down again, and the
country is still safe!
But it is all very comic, the
mole blindness of these bosses
big and little, who with Aldrich
and Cannon are being hurled
from their ill-used seats of power
by the popular lightnings now
fiercely blazing around the whole
political sky; for even when the
angry hurricane is increasing
every hour, they insist "It's only

Savinu the Peach Crop

For years the peach brown rot has been
recognized as a most destructive disease
of stone fruits. This is fungous dis
ease, and it is widespread and very de-
structive to the peach crop. The loss
which 1t inf1icts on peach growers Will
easily average 100000 yearly.
Much work has been done with view
to discovering a satisfactory remedy for
this trouble. Spraying with diluted Bor-
deaux mixture has been most common
ly recommended, but its injury to the TO-
liage has made 1t unsatisfactory, since
the remedy must be applied during the
growing season.
The peach scab (often called black
spot'D is another disease which seFf-
ously affects the peach crop In all Sec
tions of the Rocky mountains, although
not causing such serious losses as brown
rot
AS the result of experimental work
by the United States department of agri-
culture. a cheap and simple remedy for
this disease has been found in the self
boiled lime-sulphur wash. This can be
applied during the growing season with
very little danger of inJuring the fruit
or foliage and 1t is very effective. Fur
thermore. by mixing arsenate of lead with
the fungicde, the curculio can be de-
stroyed at the same time.
The department has just issued bull
letin describing the preparation and use
of the reemdy. This publication will be
of great interest to peach growers in all
sections

BIRTHDAY OF MATT

Next to Washington, Nathaniel Greene
was the most potent force in our struggle
for national independence. He was born
on May "a, 1742, in little farm house in
Rhode Island. His boyhood was spent,
like that of the other youth of the neigh
borhood, probably a little less exciting,
for his father was strict Quaker and
pastor of a church at East Greenwich.
He was also a captain of industry" at
that period. With his five brothers, he
owned a forge, a grist mill, a saw mill,
as well as e store for the sale Of general
merchandise.
Nathaniel received little education and
early i'm life was employed assisting his
father, uncles and cousins in the opera
ton of these various enterprises. That
he might read the Bible and run the bus
mess his father had the boy instructed
in the rudiments by an itinerant teacher,
but further than that he would not go.
When he had grown TO manhood, how
ever, and a certain portion of the bus
mess was turned over to him by his faith
err. he became a great reader, and studied
considerable law in order to assist him
as a merchant. When the cause of liber-
ty began its ascendency, Greene was one
of the first in this Quaker community

the organization of a military company
in his town, and several adjoining viii
lagos, to be known as the Kentish
guards.

BREAKING. A HORSE FROM KICK
ING.
B. B., Hawkinsville, Ca, writes; I
have a nice horse years old, gentle and
quiet I have had him three months. He
was quiet in the lot until about three
weeks ago, when he began kicking the
walls of the barn, stalls and fence. l
believe he is wormy. Please give me a
remedy to prevent him from kicking, and
also a cure for worms
To correct the habit of kicking in the
stall I would suggest giving the horse
plenty of work. If the kicking is due 10
excessive energy on his part, this will
correct the trouble If this does not rem
edy the trouble, take a stiff cord or
small rope and run this through his
mouth to the halter and back to a strap
fastened about the ankle of his hind leg
He will not kick more than once or twice
with this rigging on.
For worms you will find the following
prescription as reliable as any:
Powdered copper sulphate, ounces.
Powdered gentian root, ounces,
Linseed oil, II ounces.
Give one tablespoonful in the feed two
or three times day.

trouble or what to do for them.
The Jumps on your pigs are probably

be to open the Jumps as soon as they

MINISTER RESIGNS

CHICAGO, May 24.-The announce
ment that Rev. Robert Hugh Norris has
determined to resign from the pastor
ate of the First Presbyterian church OF
Evanston, the church of many million
aires, and one of the richest churches
in the United States, caused surprise in
the fashionable North Shore suburb.
The only reason Mr.. Norris assigns
for his resignation is that he is not ac-
complishing what he should

are not going the way they should,
DR.. Morris, who is "a years old, came
to the church in December, 1908. from
Philadelphia, where he was pastor of
the Oaklane church.

, he persuaded a British deserter to ac-
company him back to Rhode Island to
act as a drillmaster for the Guards
When the Quakers saw Greene, the son
of their former pastor, member OF the
military they thrice summoned MIN 10
appear at the monthly meeting, and upon
his refusal he was formally cast out OF
the congregation. The Quaker had turn

a pound of gain was made for about
half as much where ,cowpeas and soy
beans were utilized as where corn was

that cowpeas and SOY beans are quite
as easy to grow as corn and that they
leave the land i'm much better condition

The experience of farmers in the vi
entity of Augusta, Ga, shows that on

sand, and there are thousands OF acres
of this type of soil in the coastal regin.

made into hay. OF course, this hay can
be sold directly at a good profit to
the farmer. but it could be combined
equally well with cotton seed meal, and
a sufficient amount of beef produced

therefore, to the fullest extent in re-
building our exhausted soils and in

profitable 1t will be proper 10 digress
sufficiently here to say that any or all
