WE WANT a series of good articles on truck gardening, farming, stock and poultry raising. The Negro agriculturists are the backbone of the race, and in order to encourage others along these lines, we desire contributions from those experienced along these lines. "My Experience in Market Gardening," by Robert Turner which appeared in these columns last week was an excellent explanation of what thrift and energy can do. Out of this splendid article will come much good as we have already received numerous requests to repeat it this week which we gladly do. In contributing articles on these topics please observe the following rule: Write plain and legible and on one side of paper. Get down to the point, and don't take a half column to explain what could be told in twenty lines. Don't write on but one subject, if its poultry raising, discuss nothing else. Limit articles to about two and one-half columns. We visited in Columbus, Kas., last week and found some of the race doing well. This is the seat of Cherokee county, and an excellent class of white and colored people dwell here in peace and harmony. Hewey Caldwell, who has lived here for twenty-one years is a native of Nashville, Tenn., and has been employed at the brick yards for over twenty years, and owns good property besides lead and zinc lands in Galena. Wm. Smith, the cement and concrete contractor is doing fine work and has a nice business Prof. Win. Jackson, formerly of Topeka is principal of the schools. He is growing in wisdom by raising hogs during vacation. J. D. Officer is one of the town's most progressive young men and is accumulating something for a rainy day. Geo. Wilson, ex-probate judge is a fine fellow, and loves to see the Negro given a square deal. The people of his county are with him and we look for him to land something good. In Waubaunsee and adjoining counties. See or write WESLEY PAGE, Eskridge, Kansas. In referring specially to the plans that should have the dominating influence over our political and financial ordinance, which I believe to be more capable of affording us the real strength that we are so badly in need of, I especially recommend a strict adherence to the formulation of a more permanent organization. These are facts that cannot be overlooked with safety. All business and professional men recognize the importance of strong organizations. It would be as a presumptuous sinner to discourage, object or give silence to its promotion. But to get at the best results all such organizations must necessarily be carried on upon a purely business basis in order to benefit the race, which we appreciate must be done. Let us now well, sow good deeds, select good ground to plant the chosen grains. A thing planted spouts, thrives and mutines. It is to risked by the natural life, or the chief organization of creation nature. So it will be by the works we do. It is much desired then by all that are concerned materially and spiritually as given to the well being of the race, that the makers analyze judiciously and with careful scrutiny is to their authority and applications, conduction and the general dispensations through such local and grand aggregate bodies. The value of any body of men organized is shown by its general results. Negroes should depart from petty pomponerism and resort to a little more judgment regarding their rights and the strange feeling existing among us affecting us as a race, tending to retrogression. No race of people, or persons, or individuals ever rise higher than their thoughts. It is thought at the bottom, and is the basis of all action whether for good or evil, and is always illustrated by the acts. All deeds are generated by thought. Will determines and is the initiative in supplying final results. There are no results that come, or will come, to Negroes that were not prior in thought and premeditation. If then has not proved to be much fruit to the race it is because of prior thought adverse to the correct channels that ought to lead to success, but has been thwarted by incorrect attribution of principles, wild reckless judgment, and the utter displacement of abstract powers. When we begin to see the real necessity of planning and organizing properly, transacting business judiciously with a little more honesty toward each other, God will invigorate our vitals, encircle our strengths and crown our efforts with much more abundant success. I'A1111. The chief cause of failure in all aggregate bodies, and of individuals and undertakings, is generated in procrastination, faithlessness and evil contemplations and vacillating qualities. But I may to you, contemplate rightly and cultivate faith in your ability to carry them into effect, remembering that all things are possible with God, and never give up, and succeed will crown very short time through such desires. It was faith in Jesus Christ chosen and Peter on the sea from drowning. It was faith in Christ that saved the woman who touched the hem of his garment. The blind man by the wayside that called for Irregularity is bad in every department of life, in meals, in sleeping hours, but especially when it is a question of womanly habit. Not only is it a sign of female disease, but, unless cured, it will cause dangerous troubles, because of the polsons thus allowed to remain in the system. If you suffer in this way, get a bottle of Wine of Cardui Mrs. Lactinda Johnson, of Fish Creek, Wis, writes: "I suffered for fourteen (14) years with irregularity, causing great pain. At last I tried Cardul, and now I am cured." At all druggists, in $1 bottles. him had faith and was made to see though he was born blind. It was faith that saved Isaac when Abraham was in the act of offering him up as sacrifice to God. It was the faith of Abraham that saved Lot and his kindred in Sodom at the city of Gomorrah. And the same instrument resurrected the dry bones of the Israelites through the prophesy of Ezekiel. It is a powerful vehicle to ride upon, and a safe conveyor. The effectiveness of the race depends largely upon its moral attitude and spiritual strength. In an issue of the "Washington Bee" I stated, that the practice of evil thinking would, in course of time, have a more hurtful effect upon the race. To be just as a spiritual practice is an indispensable shelter to prepare at very little expense. Just think how unjust it is to require of any man that which if required of you would not do you justice. These doctrines are the only hope for the race, from the fact that no race of people can die from servile without conforming to laws that have been taught concerning the will of God. Seeing the critical conditions that naturally surround the race, it is highly important to refrain from the game of hoodwinking, artifice alizing efforts that simply bring in their train flowers like the magic Negroes Gett By buying lots in the ne RED Negroes Getting Wealthy!

The subject of correct organization of the race will not be rightfully attained until the leaders find time enough to consult the entire race regarding representation to these, so-called, National bodies. They are not, and could not be representative bodies at the present from the fact that they have self-constructed authority, so to speak. The best idea and the only proper mode to proceed, is to call a primary election in all the cities in the states, counties, and of the entire states wherein the colored voter resides. Organize and elect candidates and committeemen and representatives for some Grand Lodge to be organized. Then the representation is of the people, by the people and for the people, and is not selfconstructed. No party or parties is bound to any agreement that he or they is not a party to the contract. Hence it is well proven that the race at the present has no representative Grand Body point. There are thousands that have never been apprised of any of the movements of any of the so-called Grand Bodies until some illuminating art ornament springs up, for the sharing of some unknown representative Council, who seem to be representing the majority with out their consent or in knowing of the previous agitation. I want these facts well considered and not construed to be unjust criticism. It is not criticism, it is chastisement and is for the benefit of those in defense and those in offenses. Lay aside penny wisdom and take the pound measure. Stop pursuing the shadow and go after the substance. Don't be full foolish posing to be wise. There is a chief certainty that if we do not put forward the correct efforts for selfdefense that good results will come horribly and very painfully slow. The remedy by which the race's destiny is hanging seems remote, but the dawn of the slow, dull, morning, that has brought with it tidings of misery, calumny, and morbid restlessness, and convulsing many a bright hope with anonymous dark deeds, contriving to subdue and suppress, crush and defeat, is now rapidly vanishing. It is being supplanted with bright hope, chastity, virtue and grace, at bid fair to lead to the real triumph of the true situation and a cornerstone of the long unrevealed coming success and the real worship of the true cause that is so rapidly developing into that which is surely to come—Negro selfgovernment. The dawn of new hope is greeted as a pleasant factor, cherished like unto a new bride, but it is that which has been a puzzle and a conundrum for more than a half century. Leaders of note, possessing great constructive ingenuity, combining noble talents with abilities untold, were not lacking in stimulus of novelty, or leadership oratory; nor were they deprived of the achievement of the knowledge of rhetoric. Stage thunder has been a most popular device, evincing and philosophizing on ethics and nowsing broadest the logic of popular clamor. Great strategy and tactful generalship have been brought into play. There have risen like phantoms, grants, heroes and vague gods, yet all are sinking into obscurity that was left to stimulate the race to heal and lasting success. Israel shall have his reward. I am come knocking at every egro's door; some bidden, some unbidden. Some will love me, some will hate me. Some shall say, Come. Some will say, Go. Some shall shutter, and others will mutter. Sec, then, the final outcome of the Negro's efforts for the real hope for American life. Illegal amalgamation—that is the terrible and deadly dragon, sapping future posterity's rights, covering the future with an abhorrable black veil. It has called our virtue a perpetual childhood, but will, in the unseen but fast approaching day be the into all one sin that the Angle, later and has handled days, a monster, for with him he bounds me real that we cannot pass. Now times demand new things. The method that have been pursued must pass into night, and new methods brought into action, thus closing the unreal into reality. Hear and take heed before the darkness is upon you and the evil days draw nigh, for some distant morning I will depart and come no more; then you may seek me but I cannot be found. Take hold now, I ask you in the name and cause of posterity, and do that which is at your command to defend your rights at least one time in a generation. Show to the world how loyal and true you are capable of being to each other and to those who have made great sacrifices to defend you. Every Negro should make ready and go to the polls as a unit in support of J.B. Foraker for President. Brand those as enemies that do not support him. Carry the battle to the doors of every Negro hater, encouraging and supporting every man that encourages and supports the cause of the race. We should be with the political instrument as Sampson, who stood amazed at his works, an I said: "Thousands upon thousands, heaps upon heaps, with the jawbone of an an I have slain." We want our victimes to be typified of such as Fillimin, who represents the Great Red Dragon, who is usually used man picture God and also is Pharaoh of Egypt. Vardimon, who represents God persecuating the saints of God, and is once struck in conviction. The Admireration, who resides in Belfast and is Dumai, is the himsung on the wall. They are fast to face with, "Me are, token, upharsin." They are seen in the balance red to mind wanting. Their kingdom is divided and will be delivered to the Medes and Persians—Foraker's administration in 1905. God, who has said, Vengeance is mine, has put the instrument of protection under the divine right of the United States Constitution, by human and superhuman efforts, for the race to accept and not reject. He who would be free must strike the first blow. Now, throw aside morbid superstition; collect for yourselves intelligent sensations that traverse the universe, establishing formidable armies at the threshold of fate of every rational individual, families and great combined, aggregate and counsel dated bodies of the globe. It offers to you the impregnable gift of the affinity and universality of Christian sympathy, that the divine Creator expressly designed and anticipated should be utilized for wholesome use, contriving to maintain and support that so he willked. It is the same instrument that formed the spirit of those pioneers at the establishment and formation of the first colony in that dingy colon at Plymouth, off Cape Cod. That by pennning that sacred instrument and an emblem of freedom, released social, political and financial energy that seemed remote and inimovable. It wrote the Declaration of Independence and a mancipation Proclamation, unheated the sword of Grant. It gave Christus Attuus as exemplified martyr. Douglas, is a formidable construction of great human wisdom. Washington is a wonderful chief exponent of free, unlimited impregnable and computable industrial education. It trained the guns of Dewey at Manilla Bay, on one May day. It invigorated and stimulated the wonderful charge up San Juan hall, that was that which saved President Roosevelt's life and gave him his unappreciated authority upon his present throne. It found in J. B. Foraker a chief exponent and champion of human rights. Like multum in parvo, its wonderful works seem to be a perpetual contrivance, bringing great a blessments in its train. It has hewn mighty mountains into plains. It has raised a myriad of valleys and smooth plains to great pumycles. The same spirit of hope, chance and opportunity. I ambition continuity, tenacity of purpose, promptness and above all, virtue and truth and truth are offered the race. Accept it and be made whole. It was birthed in solitude, meditation, and strengthened by concentration and careful deliberation. C. O. Mathen of 109 W. Laurent street is quits ill.

Mr President, Members of the National Negro League, Ladies and Gentlemen. In coming before you this morning I hardly know what to say that will interest you. After hearing so many papers and addresses and brimming full of knowledge of various kinds, then the question comes to my mind. How can I interest the banker, professor, teacher, preacher, doctor, lawyer, electrician, merchant and insurance man, and all of you men of varied occupation who hail from various parts of the United States. In order to interest you I want you to imagine yourselves gardeners or formers for 1 or 15 minutes while I try and discuss the more subtle parts of this subject, "My Experience in Gardening" the garden, as you know, dates back to the beginning of creation. I do not hold or say it was a market garden though. This is a question of no little momentum. It is a question that you can regulate for years. And, to it is a question rather good, a person that has been gardening for 10 or 15 years. At it is a man. It is an unending sometimes to form words that to press our mind on to do the work itself. My motto is never to write or prepare a paper unless I can benefit some one thereby. My subject is that will admit of a plain heart to talk, it is not one that you can wear up and dwell in the luxuries of artistry, yet when you make a thorough study of the facts in the case and contain yourself to a first class market garden, I think you will agree with me when I say it is more simple than expected. The first central to a successful crop is a good, well drained soil. I prefer a sandy loam, well fertilized with barn yard manure. Though you can use some of the higher priced commercial fertilizers such as nitrate of soils, bone meal, crushed bone, diced blood, cannut, land plaster, wood ashes, lime and many other kinds of fertilizers. But, Mr. President, I do not think we need those high priced fertilizers out here in the West where the land is practically new, and the barn yard fertilizer, if put on in sufficient quantity will insure a good crop of anything you put in it. The successful market gardner will fall play for grass or as I do play in early winter when conscient. Thus, gulvizes your ground make-it great and loose, kills-it bug, war is insects in germs that are a nuisance to your crop. You can work this fall ploughed ground when it is impossible for you to get on the spring plowed ground or to plow in the spring, thus enabling you to plant your seed far in advance of your neighbor. Now after I have my ground ready, I want my seed on hand before planting arrives. Because sometimes you meet with delays in transit or your seed man sends you the wrong kind, thus causing you a delay and inconvenience. Never buy cheap seed because they are cheap; for you will find them very dear in the long run. When you get a good, reliable firm to trade with, stick to them and give them the major part of your color. I try and buy from the originator of the various kinds of vegetable as much as possible. for they naturally will take more primes with salt article and have it more true to name than a person who has not make a specialty of the same. Onuary 15th I commence making a bed for the propagation of my young plants. In this work the gardener tries very well to train good strong and healthy plants. I use about 140 sash, each of which is but 1 inch. I use for covering 112 11 not bonds. It requires 4 of these sash to one hot bed and 2 of the boards. So you see it requires a small lumber yard for covering alone. Such vegetables as cabbage, pepper and cauliflower I do not transplant. But tomatoes and egg plant I do. For cold framing I take the sash off of my seed bed and use them on my cold frame beds. This saves the expense of extra sash. I think the success you make with your plants insures you a better main crop. An up to date gardner will always have the best tools procurable. And right here let me say: a good shed or barn to put them in when he is through with them. Do not leave them lying out in the field to rust and rot out. In these days when you pay boys and men from $1.00 to $1.50 a day, and when you must be there in person to get value received, it certainly pays to use improved tools and machinery. For illustration, you can take a plant setter costing you about $45 and do the work that will require 6 to 8 men to do by the hand or old backaching method. Mr. President, I do not think that this younger generation has as good a back as his parent. I have a good many young men, and I find invariably when that cook gets in their back it will only be allotted by paying them off. As I was saying, with this setter you do not have to wait for a rain. You can set wet or dry and receive a good stand of plants too. Now, after you plants are set it is very necessary that you give them a thorough cultivation, getting closer to them when young and gradually feeding as they become older. Never cultivate a table or tankflower after they begin to do. This destroys the small fibrous roots and takes the strength from the plant plant. For this work a surface plow which skims the ground, killing the weeds and grass and leaves a good top mulching. My motto is to try and be the first in the market with a good part of my products. How will I succeed I will let you be the judge. This insures me a better judge than my neighbor who is a little later. To do this you must be instant in season and out. Work early and late, wet or hot. Again you will not have time to look up at the sun 3 or 4 times an hour to see what time it is, for the successful market gardner is a busy man during the vegetable season and has but little time to look up at the sun. I find one of the greatest drawbacks to the market gardner of the North is the vegetables shipped in from the South. They are raised in the southern clime and shipped north in refrigerator cars, arriving on our market in as good or so as good condition as when first gathered or nearly as fresh as our home raised. When our stuff comes in of use the southern has provided it so long the market becomes common and we do not get from one half to one half. 7. I have sold some of the minor kinds of vegetables and fruit to the customer lands. No other should and plant everything he sees catch begins, but make a specialty of our kinds. After your product is ready for market use augment in marketing it Do not ask customers prices to at other sell at too low, but confer with some market man of ability and arrange a standard time it possible. Again do not come before your man chart with a stack of homes, in the guide of horse dish. But come with a nice well ground team of horses. Have your stuff looking as attractive and tempting as possible but do not have all the large ones on top and the small ones in the bottom. If you do this you will soon be detected and you many house that customer. Another thing worth mentioning is: If your customer pays you MARTIN'S HOTEL and CAFE It is one of the nicest cleanest Cafes in the city Everything up to date and served in style Clean Beds a Specialty Ias W. II. Martin, Proprietor 100 COURT STREET. too much for a certain article or more than you asked for said article, do not think it is yours and keep it but return it to him for you know 'tis said "A good name is rather to be chosen than great rites." Be honest in all your dealings. Remember the Golden Rule. When you sell out go home. Do not use your team up to some post near a joint and go in and get your mornings morning or spend a good part of the formation playing cards, pool and billiards. Do not stop and goosip, saying I made so much and so much off of a certain article. Do you not know that when you do this you are cutting your own throat. You tell your neighbor how much you make on and article and two to one he will hunt you to market with soil article the next year. I am finding now of a man who used to take the largest watermelon of any one for ones about I. Well he blowed I about how much he was making which we true I have seen him sell melons for 170 and 1200 per piece. Mr. President I was making so in my way of a certain article I would not let everybody know it I have been mistreated to what kinds of vegetables was the money maker This is a question cotton shun just from a business standpoint. I generally let the person find out for himself; but this morning I am going to tell you gentlemen as I see it from a market gardener's standpoint. First, I can see some money in peas, beans, cucumbers, squash and turnips. Second, I can see more money in potatoes, cabbage, cauliflower, tomatoes, egg plant, radish, onions and lettuce. But, Mr. President, I can see the most money in asparagus of which I have between 13 and 14 acres. I know you want my reason for making this latter statement. Well, here it is! Asparagus, as you know is a hardy plant. The life of which is from 20 to 50 or more years. You do not have to plant it every year as you do other kinds of vegetable. When one planted it is always planted. I know of a patch that is about 35 years old and there is asparagus there to cut yet. There is but little expense connected with an asparagus bed, only the gathering when it is once set. Now, Mr. President, I do not wish to lead you gentlemen in the dark, for there is another side to this asparagus question. First, you do not reap any profits from your bed for three or four years. Your two year old roots will cost you from 10 to 50 per thousand and it takes 10 to 7 thousand per year, thus costing you about 12 per more to say nothing about the setting and other expenses. As I must hasten I must thus by leaving a few thoughts with you. If you want to be in experienced market at once, first own your own land. I am sure and see you have a good back, a mode of possession an honest heart and money enough to plant in more of asparagus. Second in the line of discounts we find thanks, even no hardstones and mosts to cope with. During 1901 I and 5 were trying years for the market gardener. In 1901 we had two floods causing me to lose all of my crop. Some of my implements, such and building and a good part of my household goods. I was not discouraged, however. As soon as the water had subsided and I could see where my once beautiful garden was I was ready with seed to plant again. During such ravages the true gardner will look on the bright side, thankking the God that gave him his existence and return untold thanks that he is able to keep you in the time of trouble and danger. --- THEY ARE MOST RELIGIOUS. Chinese Declared to Be by One Who Has Made a Study of Them. Has Made a Study of Them. How little the white man, especially the majority of those of us who go forth as missionaries to "convert the heathen," comprehend the Chinese character! To the student of Chinese institutions, and the Chiese themselves, it seems outrageous presumption, for the truth is that the Chinese are without doubt the most religious people on the globe, a writer in Outing. Their religion is a very part of themselves, except without discussion from birth. The worst pumper, from a worldly point of view, who lives on one of the hills of samara floating before Caron, will deny himself in order that he may perform a particular religious duty. There are no people save to Mohammedans that so complete his up to the faith they profess. China has no divergent churches, no wrathful apostles, there is the one creed, of thousands of years standing to which all yield allegiance and to which all pin a faith that continues unto death incontrovertible. Now and again we hear of a "converted" Chimanam; but I never saw one that had really broken from the faith of his fathers who was not the less trustworthy. In a considerable experience with many kinds of natives in the wilderness of their own country, I have invariably found the ones farther from "civilization" and the "converting" influence of conflicting white man creeds to be the most honorable and dependable. I mean this as no unkind reflection upon the Christian faith or upon the real often, alas, so ignorantly directed of many good people. Query of Phillips Brooks That Seemed Unnecessary. It will not be difficult for Bostonians to recall the excitement caused some years since by an enterprising tailoring establishment known to fame for its important propounding of the question, "Do you wear pantal" which greeted the eye at every turn. When this furor of advertising was at its height, his lordship the Rt. Roy. Mr. Courtney, then but recently crested bishop of Halifax, paid his first visit to his former home, Boston, where, for a number of years he had been rector of St. Paul's, Tremont street, which post he had left for the higher dignity in Nova Scotia. He appeared on the street in the conventional dress of an English bishop, including the long black stockings and fine braces. Thus attired he was not by the Italians. Phillips Brooks, who passed before him and gared abently at the annual figure thus presented. The eyes of the distinguished Boston clergyman traveled slowly down the tall form of his late colleague in the ministry until they rested upon his mother extremities, then extending his hand, he inquired, solemnly, "Do you wear pants?" Keep Sorena. When you come to think of it, most of us do have a hard time keeping ourselves in order. Temper, nerves, selfishness, and longings, ambitions and desires, all insisting to have a hearing, and down steps wisdom and orders control. Of course there are the cool headed, intellectual people to whom self-sacrifice means nothing, and little they know of the fight of the other passionate half. All health and discontent are the fruits of the battle. Keep serious, say "I shall control myself and be a cheerful philosopher" and all will go well.—New York Post. in Defense of War.
