our representatives Tn Congress, and 70.6 per cent of our senators were born on the farm and continued: "Now, gentlemen, when we see that large per centage of those who have had the moulding of the United States, na- ton that has grown from infancy to be one of the most powerful nations to- day, honored and respected by every known nation of the world, as coming from our farms, is it not fact that we should stand by those people and the descendants of those people who have reared these sons who have had so much to do in moulding this nation.
 We do not ask for any special legis
 lation, but we ask that you will deal with us just as you would do with any other class of people; give Us just the same privileges and just the same pro- teeuon. We do not ask for any class legislation. Ne are quiet, peaceful class of people, laboring, some of us, from l. 10 F hours day. Now, as has been said, and il has gone out in our papers, that this is to benefit the laboring class of people. Allow me to give you this illustration: A few days ago l had young man doing some painting for me. l did not object to him. He was a good workman, and an expert painter. 1 paid him s a day for hours labor, and he was con- blaming of the high cost of living. Now, said to him, "Look here, my friend, l want to tell you what l have 10 do to pay you this s day. 1 have lo go out and gather twelve quarts of milk, one-half bushel of potatoes, twelve quarts of onions, two dozen eggs, one and one-half pounds of but ter, one and one-half quarts of cream, five pounds of pork and six pounds Of beef' Why, it began to open that young mans eyes. (Laughter.) I do not believe, gentlemen, that man ought to complain of the high cost of living when he can get enough for s to supply for week the family that Roosevelt calls for. More laughter
 The other day l was talking to a friend of mine, whose eloquence you have heard over here in the Congress sional hall many time, and he was telling about the conditions which eX- isted when he and 1 were poys 1 said "Charlie, you remember we used to be glad to get a day oil with our fish poles, with one gallus over our Shoul- der to hold up our pants.7 He said, "fhe boys don't have such conditions 1 today l said, "Gharlie, it was just those very conditions that made you what you are: that you have been able 10 bear all these public strains; that has helped you develop yourself and your constitution. And he is now one of the most successful lawyers in the state of Massachusetts.
 "Gentlemen, it is these boys and girls, these boys we are rearing on these farms, that we are asking you to consider in your decision upon this l question. We do not want this coun- try 10 pass into alien hands; to De til |. led by an ignorant class of people who will never develop a boy who will be able 10 govern us in the manner we i have been governed. We ask you To carefully consider these conditions and give us protection, so that we can edu- cate and bring up our children to take the places you are occupying today, and this nation will go on and prosper in the future as it has in the past.

NORTH WOODSTOCK

l.. II. Healey of North Woodstock, {, master of the Connecticut state grange appeared before the senate in ance committee recently in opposition to the Canadian reciprocity agreement. lie was accompanied by C. Il. Potter of Woodstock and J. A. Sherwood of Long Hill, state lecturer.
 Mir Heaey said that since he ap- peared before the committee in the last Congress this reciprocity bill has been discussed by his organization and the more 1t has been discussed the more 1t has been "cussedn from a farmers standpoint.
 He said he has received hundreds of letters from the membership congratu. lating him on the stand taken, and only one letter saying he was on the wrong track. Speaking of the resolu- ton which passed the Connecticut legislature he said "lt has been made so prominent, gentlemen, 1 wish to eX- plain to you just how that came to be passed Just after the reciprocity measure came before the public l have
 been told that resolution-l know that the resolution was put in-and have been told that it was put in by request before our legislature, asking the indOrSement of the treaty. The people of our state, almost every year, for number of years have been re- pabHeans and republican majority has been elected to the legislature, and il was thought that il was an indorSe- ment of a national republican admins tration Therefore the resolution was passed but the sentiment among the legislators of our state at the present time, l can assure you, is anything but unanimous as regards the proposed treaty" He said they had come down there neither for fun nor pleasure, but
 were there because they were interested in question which they believed is of the most vital importance to the farm ing industries of the state. He said i that although Connecticut was called
 a manufacturing state Il was also true that il was not a nonentity as an agri- 1 cultural state.
 i C. H Potter, who was introduced as one of the leading farmers of the state | of Connecticut, made one of the best
 arguments that has been heard by the 1 committee to date. He said: MT | Chairman and gentlemen of the com. mittee, when my friend introduced me as farmer he told the truth. l am 1 not an orator, and there is very little | that 1 can add 10 what has been said i here this morning, and il seems to me 1 that what I would add would have
 very little influence with you as mem. 1 beTs of this committee. Yet l want to
 say 10 you that I have come here from i Connecticut, representing practically
 a manufacturing stale, but yet we have some of the best small titled farms in the state of Connecticut that l there are in the United States today and 1 am here representing that class
 of laborers. We have, and our ances
 tors have, labored on these farms fol
 years in the past, and we are looking | forward into the future, when we trust
 our children and grandchildren twill
 still continue to till those farms He

An Easily Made Little Garden

Little gardens are very easy to make The paths must be wide enongh to walk on and must lead where you want to go. Garden beds may be any shape you wish, only remember that II you make bed too broad, you Will have difficulty in reaching across 1t. Here the diagram represents garden plot twelve feet square.
 First mark out your garden by driv- ing stakes at the corners Of the beds and stretching string between. Mark it all out before you begin to dig, then you can see if the plan. is just as you want il.
 Have the garden in sunny place II you ean--there are many more flowers that will grow in the sunshine than in partly shaded place, and planning the garden is much easier. The soil should be good. Ii it isn't, enrich it with old manure; one of the little gar dens would need about two bushels.
 Dig the beds deeply-two feet is none too deep, if you can compass it. | Dig the manure we'll in, then with a rake make the beds smooth and level. Do not heap up flower beds They dc not hold the moisture so well.
 A GARDEN PLAN
 Corn-Plant in hills three feet apart, putting five or six kernels in a hill. N hen these come up pull out the weaker ones, leaving three stalks.
 Nasturtiums-In front of the corn SOW dwarf nasturtiums. Poke little holes three inches deep and two inches apart, and drop seed in each hole Press down the earth. When the plants are up, pull out intervening ones, leaving seedlings three inches apart When these are grown taller thin again leaving the plants six inch. es apart. If you do not do this, the plant infants will quarrel about theil food, and none will have enough tc eat.
 Zinnia-Sow these in rows anywhere you like, and when they are sturdy little plants, transfer them 10 theil proper places in the garden. The, should be foot apart. In this garder zinnias Of buti or pale brown would bt prettiest.
 Center-Put in the center piece O brush such ss sweet peas are growr on. In circle around Il plant six o seven seeds of tall nasturtium 10 clint over 1t.

Literary Notes.

The June Womanis Home Compan- ion is interesting and useful in great variety of ways. One of it's splendid features, particularly entertaining and Valuaoie at the present time, is des- cription of large number of usafe and sane celebrations of the Fourth of July which actually took place last year. These reports are full of ideas ana suggestions which, as fast as they are put into effect, will save legs, arms ana iives; And the great point is that the children who enjoyed these cele- orations had better time than they ever had in the old way. The new iofIns oi entertainment that have been devised, and that are reported in this months Companion, are really amaz- Ing Tn extent and ingenuity.
