stronger Than His Party l"-The
dfeat of President Wilson's candidate
for the Senate and the denomination
of Senator James MARITIME in the New
Jersey primaries is the severest blow
the popular Democratic fallacy that
President Wilson is stronger than
his party" has thus far received. Sena-
tor Marines election as Senator six
years ago was brought about by Mr..
Wilson, then Governor, at which time
Mr.. Wilson betrayed his own political
sponsor, James Smith. Having made
MARITIME Senator, Mr. Wilson thought
he owned him and when on one or two
occasions, MARITIME showed some indie
pendence and refused to vote as the
White House directed, Mr.. Wilson be-
came very indignant and decreed that
MARITIME should not return to the Sem
ate. Accordingly, he fathered the can
didacy of John w. Wescott, Attorney
General OF New Jersey, and caused all
the influence of the White House and
os the Democratic state machine to be
eXerted in Wescott's behalf The re-
suit speaks for itself. Yescott was
defeated and MARITIME renominated by
$4,000 plurality. Democratic politi-
clans in Jersey declare that the rank
and file were not especially strong for
MARITIME but that they bitterly resented
President Wilson's autocratic attitude
toward their Senator and bis interior
ence in the affairs of the State and
that Marines nomination is, there
fore. far moro of rebuke for Wilson
than a victory for MARITIME. The vic
tory of Joseph s. Mrelinghuysen over

gle specific instance wherein the Will
son administration has helped the
business of the country. Mr.. Perkins
points to the Seven Sisters" legisla-
ton which Mr.. Wilson caused to be en-
acted by the New Jersey Legislature
and widely advertised as solving the
entire trust problem and asserts that
there has never been any attempt to
enforce them and that they have ac-
complished nothing. He points out
that the Federal Trade Commission
has no power to modify the Sherman
Law and that he has yet to learn Of an
instance where that commission has
been of service to business. He de-
clares that by withdrawing from the
Chinese loan arrangement. President
Wilson shut the United States out of
its natural opportunity to extend its
trade in the Orient, and that by it's at
titude oward those Americans who in
the past have gone into Mexico, in
vested their money and risked their
lives, the Wilson administration has
done everything possible to discourage
future enterprise of that character.
The Perkins letter constitutes COM
plete exposure of the hollowness Of
Mr.. Wilson's claims that his admins
tratiOn has helped business.

Many WOuldbe HOsts-The determi-
nation OF the administration to trans
fer the Mexican Conference from New
London to Atlantic City, where there
are so many delightful diversions and
where time may be filled with a max
imum of enjoyment, has led to keen
competition from other cities which
would like the distinction of enter
tanning this unique and innocuous
conference and even more to be the
recipient of the funds which the Unit
ed States is expanding so lavishly for
the entertainment of the Carranza
delegates and their suites. There is
prospect that as the winter advances
the leading Southern resorts will be-
come asiprant for sare of this pros
perity, and lively competition between
the Georgia, Florida, Alabama and
Louisiana resorts is expected. South
ern Senators are expected to take part
in the competition and to exert the
same powerful influence which has
long enabled them to effect the main
tenance of obsolete Southern navy
yards. and the expenditure Of vast
sums to refurbish those which the best
military and naval judgment has de-
creed should be abandoned The only
menace to this program is the some
what hasty and choleric temper OF
Carranza.

Farmers Must Pay - Hon. James
Wilson, who enjoys the record of hav-
ing been Secretary of Agriculture
longer than any other man in the his
tory of the Nation, has issued a state
ment in which he insists that the
farmer must pay the freight" Mr..
Wilson points out that the farmer is
the largest shipper in the country and
that obviously the increased cost of
operating railroads resulting from the
Wilson-AdamsOn wage increase law,
must simply place an additional bur-
den on the farmer lie says that the
farmers are Just and even liberal and
that If, on thorough investigation, il
had been found that certain railway
men were receiving insufficient pay to
enable them to live decently and to
support and educate their families, the
farmer would not have objected to
paying his share of the increased cost
OF shipping, but that the farmer re-
CARDS 1t as entirely unreasonable to
ask him to stand for increased freight
rates, brought about by a material in
crease of pay to the men who are al
ready the best paid among railway en-
ployes, an increase in which so many
even harder working employees of the
railroads have no share.

Mass. Spurns WilsOn-Not alone in
New Jersey has President Wilson sus-
tanned Illuminating defeat. In Massa
chusetts President Wilson has not
only been repudiated by his own party,
he has been slapped in the face. Gen,
Chas. II. Cole, former adjutant general
OF the State, sought the nomination
for Governor in Massachusetts and
enjoyed the active support of the Will
son administration as we'll as of the
state organization. Every federal Of
ficer holder In the state had his coat
of working for Cole. On the other
hand. a man named Mansfield. less
able and less well known, sought the
Democratic nomination. The charac-
ter of the administrations opposition
to Mansfield was such that II aroused
the INDICATION of the Bay State Demo-
Gratis and $3.50 Democrats voted for
him, which gave him the nomination
The fight has split the Democratic
Party wide open. The federal Office
holders have been so bitter in their
opposition to Mansfield that they can
not support him now, and neither can
the President without stultifying him
self. The result is that the reelection
of Gov Samuel Mccall, never serious
ly in doubt. is absolutely assured and
that the Wilson prestige has lost few
more ribs.

should never be worked when wet.
Overzealous gardeners, ready to seize
the first warm spell as a favorable op.
portunity to go out and work thu
heavy clay soil before it is dry, ara
not only wasting their energy, but are
doing damage to the soil from which
it will take years for it to recover.
To determine when heavy soils are
ready for blowing a handful of earth
should be collected from the surface
and the fingers tightly closed on it. If
the ball of compacted earth is
dry enough for cultivation it will fall
apart when the hand is opened.
How to Fertilize.
The soil in the average backyard
is not only lacking in plant food, but
also has been packed until 1t is hard
and unyielding. To loosen up such
soil and make it suitable for garden
produce requires that careful atten-
ton be given to its preparation. After
spading the Enclosure thoroughly, the
upper three inches should be made
fine with the use of hoe and rake.
Stones and rubbish should be removed
and clods of dirt broken. The surface
should be marked off for planting in
conformity with the general plan of
the garden.
Barnyard or stable manure is the
best fertilizer because it furnishes
both plant food and humus. An appli-
cation at the rate of from 20 to 80 tons
to the acre of we'll rotted manure is
very satisfactory. This should be ap-
piled after blowing or worked with
spade, and distributed evenly over
the surface and later worked in with
hoe or rake. On many soils it is ad-
visable to apply commercial fertilizer,
especially phosphate, in addition to
the manure. An application of 800 to
600 pounds Of acid phosphate to the
acre is usually sufficient. If addition
al potash is needed, which is often the
case with sandy soils, this may be eco
nomically supplied in the form of
wood ashes. If the wood ashes are un.
leached they should be distributed
over the garden, using 1000 pounds to
the acre. If they have been wet, or
leached, 1000 pounds should be used.
An application of 100 pounds to the
acre of nitrate of soda may be used in
the spring to start the plants before
nitrogen in the manure has become
available. 1t should be borne in mind
that commercial fertilizers will not
yield good results unless the soil is

CONSTRUCTION OF NEST BOX
and Warm Enough to Keep Lay
ina Hens Comfortable.

Where poultry houses are too small
to accommodate all the fixtures com
fortably, some poultrymen practice
the plan of having the nest boxes out
side of the partition wall. The nest
box is made Is inches wide and the
same in height and as long as desired.
Partitions are placed to allow IL to
10 inches for each nest, according to
the size of the breed kept. The nest
box is attached to the outside of the
house with strong hooks and screw
eyes. The cover is hinged, and fitted
with pitch sufficient to shed water,
and is covered with roofing paper.
In cold climates the entire construc.
tion of the nest box must be tight and
warm enough to keep the laying hens
comfortably when on the nest. In hot
weather the nest box cover can be
slightly elevated to afford a ventila
ton. In some cases this plan of nest
box is quite a convenience as well as
a saving of room, as the eggs can be
gathered outside the poultry house.
