Is the Negro Capable Of Self
Government

Now in the outset we do not
mean, in our conclusions, to ask
is the Negro innately capable
of self government, That is
regardless of what we believe,
do not understand us to argue
that blood or nativity has any
thing to do with the situation.
Generally speaking, when
we say self government, it is
meant, is the negro capable, at
this time, to govern himself
and compete with the other ad.

eminent such as England, Rus
STA, France, the U. S., Germany,
Italy, Spain, Canada, etc. We
do not think 80. But, we do
think he will soon be capable
so to do. In Africa, Haiti and
and other negro countries, it
seems that we are lacking yet.
Liberia is not doing as we'll as
she should and Hayti is revo-
lutionary. Mexico does not
even seem to be capable of self
government either. Even IRE
land is found wanting. This
does not mean to insinuate that
we have not able negroes or
will not be able, in the future,
to govern with the consent of
the governed. In our churches
and lodges, this cardinal essen.
tial is weak. To be able to
govern, a race must be "gov.

we believe what we aver.
Groups of negroes are capable
of doing anything any other

it takes statesmen, soldiers and

The surface of the manure is cover
ed with good rich garden soil to the
depth of four or five inches. The ma
nure will begin to heat within a week
after the bed is completed. The seed
should not be sown for several days
after the bed is finished. If very cold
weather ensues after plants have come
up it may be necessary to cover the
glass on very cold nights with blankets
or mating. 1t may be necessary to
shade the plants on the brightest sun
niest days at midday when the air in
the hotbed may become too hot. Do
not give the bed too much water,
which is worse than too little. Plants
usually started in the farmers hotbed
are lettuce, radish, tomato, cucumber,
melon, eggplant and cabbage.

FALSE ECONOMY IN FEEDING
Big Mistake Made in Cutting Down
Amount of Grain Fed TO Fatten-
Ing Animals During Winter.

Farmers and feeders make a great
mistake when they cut down on the
amount of grain food that they feed
their fattening animals during the
winter. There may be some animals
on the farm which can be carried
along through the winter on moderate
rations, but fattening stock and dairy
cows do not belong to that class.
The farm teams that are not being
worked do not require a full ration
of grain food during the winter but 1t
is costly economy to trough" them
during the winter on short rations.
The horse that is allowed to run down
in flesh condition during the winter
cannot do as efficient service during
the springs work as he could If he
were fed well during the winter. No
man ever made money feeding live
stock just enough to keep them alive
In feeding fattening stock and dairy
cows. gain and profit come in proper
ton to the amount of food the ami
mails put to good use. The fattening
animals and dairy cows should have
no setbacks; and the best feeders are
the ones who know when TO feed high
priced grains and are not afraid tc
feed full rations.

lclover-hay or alfalfa, cut into short

steam, cut into short pieces and pack
in tub or bucket, pour as much boil

Sprouted oats are a good green
food To prepare them, soak the oats
In warm water for "a hours, then
spread in shallow boxes and keep in
a warm place. Keep them moist by
sprinkling with warm water and they
will soon begin to sprout.
When the sprouts are about two
inches long, cut the oats out in
chunks and feed to the hens. They
will eat both the sprouts and the oats
and are very fond of them.
Another way of furnishing green
food is to feed vegetables. Turnips,
beets and mangles should be cut in
halves and fed raw.
Cabbage heads should be hung up
where the hens can pick them. Civ
ing the hens regularly any one OF
these green foods will make a notice
