Dear Sir: / have often thought
I would attempt writing to you and
the JefTer2cnian, and let you know
my admiration fer you and pour
principles your courage and fearless
ness.
Mr.. Watson I'm glad we've got
one man who is not afraid to pub
lish the truth and expose the rotten
ness Of Catholicism and other hum
bUggery. I have been reading both
your Jeffersonians for several years,
my father being subscriber He
also thinks there is no man like you
Mr.. Watson. [ see you have been
indicted again at Augusta by the
Federal grand jury, they hate to hear
the truth told on them. | want to
say that every true and patriotic citi-
zen ought to be with you through
the battle for the rights of the COM
mon people and against imposture.
I for one endorse you, MIR. Watson,
in all your undertakings It's too
bad that other people cannot I'M
derstand that you are fighting for
them and for the betterment Of all
hard working people. | have read
your publications on the Frank case
and Burns also. ] think you
hit them exactly right. All that
stuff Burns tried to work up didn't
work very we'll, especially around

great good, and I only wish that

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
"A CORE2I2CT!os rs To ST. JOHNS
MILITARY CDI4i.E4GE.

Dear Cir: IN the issue Of July, in
an article containing the letter
signed, "a Protestant Friend there
is an errcr that every man from
Maryland wishes that you would cor
rect. It is this: Page 172, last
column, "And why is st. Johns
Military College, also Catholic stuck
right IN the heart Of Annapolis, Md,
near the y. S. Naval Academy?'
Now, the fact is. the College re-
ferred to is not Catholic in any
sense. 1t is st. Johns College, and
if it can be said to be under any
religious influence at all that in
fuence is Episcopalian. The Vice
President, as he always called him

The College is partly supported by
the State.

WHO CHANGED TIE SABBATH
DNT?

My Dear Sir: l have read about
everything you have published in the
"Jeffs'' relative to Rome and RO-
manism aad note with much interest
and concern the unGeniGble thorough
ness of your arraigcmcnt of Catholi-
ciam SO fer, and most heartily en-
dor8c End apnlaud your dauntleSs
and uTCCInpromiGing courage, but
&c think that when you have knocked
the prCrG cut from under their
creed YOU should not leave than
spraWling on the ground, EGt rather
pcint them to Christ thu cruciGc>i,
risen and exalted Savior of the
world.
Regarding you as authority on tie
accomplishments, purposes and in
tents of the church Of Rome, / would
ask a question relative to the change
OF the Sabbath from the seventh to
the first day Of the week. In 1892
a Catholic priest in answer to an in
quiry on this point replied: II have
repeatedly offered $1,000 to any one
who can prove to me by the Bible
alone that / am bound to keep Sun
day holy. There is no such law in
the Bible. 1t is q law of the Holy
CdluOIlc CNuGcn diOH0. he bIHlS
says remember that thou keep holy
the Sabbath day. The Catholic
church says, No! By my divine power
I abolish the Sabbath day and COM
maud you to keep holy the first day
of the week And, 10! the entire
world bows down in reyerent obedi-
ence to the command Of the Holy
Catholic church"
Now, if we have the ammunition
and our powder is dry, why not go
cunning for that 81 600 and begging
the game continue observing the first
day OF the week? Otherwise if our
powder is lacking, or wet, why abuse
Romanism six days and bow down
and kiss the pope's feet every Sun
day?
Did the Roman Catholic church
abolish Saturday, the seventh day
Sabbath and institute Sunday the
first day Sabbath?
Yours truly,
Miner, Ga l.. M. BROWN
Answer.
The early Christians changed
from Saturday to Sunday.
That was long before the day Of
Roman Catholic popery.

WANTED THE STAGE FILLED
Theatrical Magnate Evidently Cared
More for Effect Than for Accuracy
of Production.

The production of great dramas was
his business. His great talent was
success, and his weakness was that
he always liked to show off" when he
was ~rehearsing a play. He was
in the habit of sitting far back in
the darkened theater, n whenever
a stranger came in to see the re-
hearsal work he put himself in the
foreground by jumping to his feet
and bawling out the actors and act
resses. When he was putting on a
big production Of The Holy City
three friends Of his entered the the
alter one afternoon to see the dress
rehearsal. AS soon as they had sat
down the producer began to fidget
in his seat. He was consumed by the
old fever for prominence. He want
ed the visitors to see that he was the
boss of everything. There were II
men on the stage. which was unusual
ly large. Who are those men on
the stage?" he called. out to his stage
manager in a ~thunderous voice.
That's n of the big Genes of the
play" the manager said humbly.
Those men are the u disciples"
"Oh, WE'LL" shouted the impresario
imperiously. "go out and get II more.
That's a big stage, and We want to
fill it up"

no need having to feed pulletS from
eight to ten months, before getting
any returns.
Hasten the growth of young cock
erels, by feeding them all they will
eat. Keep them fat enough for the
table all the time, and they will reach
the required weight for the market
much sooner. 1t is the earlier mar
kets that pay the best prices.
Don't make the mistake of thinking
you can half feed your hens and make
a success Of the poultry business. The
wants of the hens body comes first.
If there is any surplus it goes into
the eggs. Where there is no surplus
there are no eggs. 1t is your business
to provide enough food for the body

If you are keeping hens for egg-pro-
duction only there is no need for keep
ing any males. 1t costs about 81 to
feed each one, and their room might
better be given to that many more
hens.
Turkeys must have free range in
order to do we'll. Do not keep them
closely confined. IL you have fed
them regularly, they will continue to
come up at that time for their feed.

PRODUCTION OF GOOD EGGS
Wisconsin Expert Emphasizes I'M

Just because IN egg is freshly Laid
by an apparently healthy hen it can
not be assumed that it is a good egg,

College of Agriculture of the Univer-
sity Of Wisconsin, who emphasizes the
need of clean, wholesome food for the

as can a flock which regularly is fed

Eggs lacking in protein have a wa
terry white and the shell is apt TO be
thin owing TO the partial absence Of
lime. Such eggs, besides being Of less
value as food, are more than likely to
bring forth puny chickens Of low vi
tally. subject &c white diarrhea and
an early death. With proper quaint
ties of wheat, bran, clover. oyster
shell and sound grains in the ration

of course, that the flock is given clean
nests and runs and is kept free from

NOTES OF THE POULTRY YARD
W;iitewash improves Looks of House
and Is Good Disinfectant-Give
Turkeys Free Range.
By MRS. a. ]. WIDER.


Lime is a very good thing TO use
about the poultry houses. An occa-
sional coat of white-wash on walls
and on the nest boxes greatly i'm
proves the looks OF the house, besides
being a good d~isinfectant and vermin
killer.
Pullets Matched in April or the first
Of May, make late fall and winter
layers, and they are the ones that pay.
Hatch all you can of them.
If a sitting hen leaves the nest, do
not throw away the eggs unless they
are cold. If you have another broody
hen, put her on the nest. She will
finish the Matching, and it win save
her just SO much time, as we'll as saw
ing the eggs.
Give the little chicks skim milk to
drink. 1t is very good for them, as
we'll as for the older fowls. The more
milk your poultry drink, the less meat
it will be necessary to feed them.
Do not keep too many hens in one
flock. Much better results are OBJ
tanned from the smaller focks. and it
is the results that count.
If you want the pullets to mature
early, and begin laying at five or six
months old, feed them properly and
we'll from the start. Give them a
properly balanced ration, and crowd

so far as experiments at this station
indicate. If the ground is foul it prob
ably would be best to SOW in rows.
The soy bean crop, OF course, can be
cultivated only when it is growing in
rows, and up until harvest time it may
be handled as one would cultivate
corn. a corn cultivator with adjust
able wheels can be used on rows. not
less than twenty-eight or thirty
inches wide.
Soy beans, as we'll as the COW peas,
are adapted for use in the rotation
when clover fails. Instead of sowing
the field due for a legume to a grain
crop, either soy beans or COW peas may
be sown in the spring, and the crop cut
in the late summer either for seed or
hay. An average yield of seed is fiji
teen to twenty bushels. Many farmers
are able to produce from twenty-five
to thirty-five bushels of seed per acre.
1t is also possible to obtain from three
to four tons of soy bean hay, while a
yield of less than two tons would be
considered unsatisfactory. Soy beans
are excellent feed for hogs in the early
fall when balanced up with corn.
Young animals make good gains and a
large amount of vegetable material is
tramped into the soil.
Soy beans make a good growth
when sown after the wheat crop is
harvested, provided there is sufficient
Under favorable conditions ten tons, on
the average, of wilted green material
can be produced. IL an early variety
of seed is used, and the season is un-
usually long. a fair crop Of seed can
be harvested by sowing after wheat
harvest. The chief purpose of an
after harvest crop of soy beans is for
blowing under.
Soy bear oil is coming into promi-
hence for a variety of purposes. such
as soap making and as a partial sub
stitute for linseed oil in paints, and ii
is safe to predict that the manufacture
of this product will be M of the new
industries OF this country which will
be a source Of considerable profit ana
at the same time build up a profitable
market for soy beans for the farmer.

The kind OF lime to use and the
amount are matters OF distinctly sec
,ondary Importance. Essentially the
same effect will be produced by 100
pounds OF mari. ground shells, ground
limestone OF air Stacked lime as by 10
pounds OF hydrated lime or 90 pounds
OF fresh burned lime. and ii makes
very little difference which is used.
Choice should be based mainly on rel
alive cost and purity. but may be in
fuenced To a certain extent by the
facts that burned lime and hydrated
lime are more disagreeable to handle
than the other forms and probably
somewhat more exhaustive or the or
.ganic matter in the soil.
The question OF real Importance is
whether 10 use lime at all or not. The
answer depends absolutely upon the
chemical reaction of the soil. II the
soil is basic or alkaline in reaction
lime need not be used. but il the soil
is acid lime is needed badly.
Acids and bases are exact opposites
chemically, and when brought to-
gether as they are IN the soil they
combine and form chemically neutral.

My clover failed on recount of dry
weather" or My clover froze out"
Now what stall l do or what a |
SOW TO msKe up for the clover fail
ure?" This is a question that has been
put to the soils and crops department
many times. Until within the last ten
or fifteen years this question was hard
to answer. but the department now
knows the value of some of the annual
legumes as substitutes for clover. One
OF the most important among these is
the SOY bean.
The soy bean, being a legume that
natures IN one year. is subject, more
or less. to the same conditions and the
same treatment as any of the other
annual plants. Being subject to frost
and freezing, il becomes necessary to
delay the planting until ali danger of
frost has passed b.. AS a general rule.
1t is safe TO plaEt soy beans immedi-
ately after the TORN has been planted
or from the fifteenth of May on. For
seed production, the soy bean should
be planted not later than the tenth of
June and. If then. only the earlier ma
turing varieties should be used. The
earlier maturing the variety used, the
smaller will be the yield OF seed.
There are three methods of planting
soy beans: drilling in rows. drilling
solid. and sowing broadcast. The seed
may be sown i'm rows. not over thirty
six inches apart for largest seed
yields with a corn planter, setting the
drill attachment to drop. on the aver
age, one seed every two inches, or
with a grain drill set to SOW one and
acre. The seed should not be covered
deeper than n or n and a half
inches. A heavy rain may pack the
ground So firmly that the plants can
not push their way through. when
covered deeper. Broadcasting is the
least desirable method of sowing soy
beans OF any. because of the poor ger
mination that may occur due to INSULT
cient covering and moisture and the
consequent large percentage of weeds
mat grow up. The average of several
years experimentation at this station
shows that, when sown in rows. a
slightly larger yield of seed hay
has been secured from the rows sown
from t~wenty-four to twenty-eight
inches apart than from rows over
-thirty-two inches wide. Drilling solid
with a wheat drill at the rate of 60
pounds of seed per acre produced a
bushel OF seed and nearly V hun

LAYING OUT A GARDEN
ERRONEOUS IDEA THAT MUCH
TIME is REQUIRED.
Plot $50 by 100 Feet VIII Produce
Enough Fruit and Vegetables for
Family of Six-Run the Rows
North and South.
(By e. PARKER)

(By L.
There is an important economical
side to this question Of q garden.
Beef, for instance, in its various forms
is VIGOROUSLY expensive, especially
where it is eaten twice or three times
a day, whereas beans, peas, spinach,
ETC., when served with meat would
make up half the amount eaten, thus
reducing the cash cost Of the whole.
And the impression that a vegetable
garden requires much time and care
is such an romeo one, Two or
three hours a week will suffice for q
garden $50 by 100 feet, which is cap
able of producing fruit and vegetables
enough for a family of six. provided
the rows are three feet apart so that
a horse may be used.
In laying out such a garden the
rows should be run north and south,
for planted thus vegetables receive
the greatest amount Of sun The first
four rows should be six feet apart, and
the first of these might contain twelve
currant and twelve gooseberry bushes
set six feet apart. In the second row
plant a hundred raspberry canes three
feet apart, with two canes at each
place. The third row will be for
strawberries and will hold 80 plants
grown in hills set one foot apart. no
runners being allowed to grow. The
next thirteen rows Will be three feet
apart and may be planted to the fol
lowing vegetables in the order given:
Asparagus plants, so one-year seed
lings, set three feet apart in the row.;
p%arsnips, 30 feet; then a hundred feet
Of onions, of which % feet may be
young sets for early summer: beets
and lettuce, so feet; early cabbage, q
hundred feet; late cabbage, a hundred
feet; caulifower, so feet; peas, three
full rows, corn, four full rows; toma-
toes, a hundred feet; beans, so feet;
okra, ten feet; then 80 feet more OF
string beans and $50 feet of dwarf
lima beans. The remaining four rows
should be eight fee apart to allow the
vines to spread. In the first row
plant 25 muskmelons six feet apart
then a row of cucumbers set six feet
apart, five elephants and ten early
squash, ali six FEET apart. The next
row may be planted to eight Hubbard
squash and twelve rhubarb plants, set
six feet apart. and the last two rews
may very properly be given over to
herbs and flowers for cutting.
1t is frequently forgotten that a
great many people abroad, notably the
drawers of water and hewers of wood,
live almost entirely on vegetables. con-
sidering meat a luxury only to be in
dulged in once a week, while we in
America, having the most delicious
and greatest variety of vegetables
grown anywhere. discard them for
meat.
