LET WASTE MEN" SAVE
LAND so THAT EACH MAY
SAVE THE OTHER.

The New Haven Times-Leader,
in an able editorial, says that:
$50 long as there is an acre of
reclaimable land in the United
States, why should there be a sin
gle ablebodied man idling his life
away in prison cell? Denmark
has proved that the convict en-
ployed outdoors at creative task
is not only a better man, but a
better prisoner than the one con-
fined between four walls.
"There is not one state in the
Union where convict labor could
not be usefully employed in re-
storing exhausted or abandoned
land to fertility, planting forests,
draining swamps or watering des-
erts. The practical objections
that naturally arise in ones mind
are conclusively answered by Den
marks experience.
"There is no competition with
union labor, and the best of it is
that the waste man is frequently
reclaimed along with the waste
land"
This is splendidly human. and
in distinct accord with modern
thought.
A nation can be judged by the
treatment it metes out to it's un-
fortunates.
The horrible cruelties and hid
eous impurities depicted by John
Kenneth Turner in "Barbar0us
Mexico" express more clearly
than could a Hugo the savagery
and brutalized slavery Of that un-
fortunate land.
1T Is All True"
The exposure of our penal in
stitutional methods by Jack Lon
don and Charles Edward Russell
chill the blood and overcome the
reader with a sickening sense Of
fear and dread. And now the
Leavenworth model peniten-
tiary" has been proved beyond
cavil to be hell where vile orgies
were INDUCED in indiscriminate-
ly, with the knowledge and con-
nivance Of the official and his son.

THE WAGES OF SIN.

This is not to be dissertation

i"primose path and the lnevlta-

sooner or later. but is merely IN

trous and fearful consequences
will surely overtake those who de
part from the straight and mar
row" path of virtue and honesty
The inevitable may be delayed
for a time, and it may remain
hidden from the public eye, but
the guilty know there is a some
thing within their heart when
forces the acknowledgment that

WORK IN THE GARDEN FOR
OCTOBER.

The beginning of September
has been very unfavorable for the
sowing of vegetable seeds. Toe
much rain, consequently will have
to try again. 1t is not too late as
all fall and winter vegetable seeds
can be sown this month and will
have time to mature before cold
weather sets in.
Set out shallots, also artichokes
that is the sucker or sprouts. Cab
bage and lettuce plants sown last
month should be set out.
Continue to sow artlchOkes
beet, cabbage, celery, carrot, en-
dive. kohlrabi, satisfy, leek. let
tuce, mustard, roquette, turnip
parsley, spinach, radish, rutabaga
parAip.
One Of the most important crops
for this section is the onion, un.
fortunately the seeds of Creole va
riety is very scarce and high
priced. The crop has been a fail
ure, so we should plant the Crystal
Wax and Bermuda.
The Crystal Wax and Bermuda
are earlier than the Creole, bat
have not the keeping qualities.
These are the varieties that are
grown in Texas, hundreds of car
loads ape shipped to the northern
markets every season.
There is another variety Of on.
ion that can be grown in this sec
ton, have grown them for several
years and always succeeded, it is
known as the New Queen they are
of medium size and flat. Very
early. they are an Italian variety.
Seeds can be sown as late as Feb
ruary.
This is the month to set out
strawberry plants we have sue
ceeded very well with the follow
ing named varieties: Michel's
Early, Lady Thompson and Klon-
dyke. There are many other va
rieties you can try, but do not set
out too many plants unless you
are sure they will do well in this
section.
There is one thing I would call
the attention to those who intend
ordering plants from catalogue is
to be very particular what you are
ordering. If you do not know any
thing about strawberries, you had
better get information from some
one who does.
In looking over your catalogue
you will see a graf many varieties.
Lets Of pretty pictures of large
strawberries very productive, etc.
Another important thing many
do not know is that there are va
rieties producing imperfect and
others perfect blooms. There are
male and female plants. The fe-
male plants produce Pistallate or
imperfect blooms, the male plants
produce Staminate or perfect
blooms. The staminate varieties
produce fruit when planted by
themselves. But the Pistalate
varieties will not mature perfect
fruit without beig fertilized by a
Staminate variety.
There is no necessity of making
any mistakes if you are particular
when ordering. Pay attention to
the description of the variety ord
cred. If marked s the variety is
perfect, if P imperfect.
The way to plant the different
varities and be successful is by
planting one row of a Staminate
variety with every two of the
Pistillate or the plants may be
mixed in the row one Staminate
to two Of the Pistillate.
