TOPEKA PLAINDEALER As a Gentle Re TILLMAN AND EXCHANGE Pitchfork Senator and Man Discuss the Ra TILLMAN AND CHILES EXCHANGE LETTERS! Pitchfork Senator and The Plaindealer Man Discuss the Race Question! . Historical Society State House Fifteenth Year. No. 18. Time is Softening the Heart of the Fire-eating Statesman Toward the Negro. Below we publish an exchange of letters between Senator Ben R. Tillman and the editor of this paper on the color question, which we hope the colored people will read carefully and pass comment on what they think of the future of the Senator on this much discussed and discussed question. We are of the opinion that he is growing more favorable to the cause of the black race, and before the end comes will be singing praises of the men he now thinks are not equal to the emergency or qualified for equal rights with white men for the simple reason that white men have always been in power, notwithstanding the fact that he abused this power to such an extent that the whole world is frowning upon them, yet the Senator from South Carolina says they should be looked upon as the superior race. We failed to call his attention to that part of the Apostle's Creed that says man is to serve no one or no image and we believe Mr. Tillman is a little off on the question of white supremacy. No man should acknowledge another superior so far as equality before the law and the right to earn a living and enjoy the privileges of freedom as long as they do not conflict with one another. We believe, however that Mr. Tillman is growing better and is excusable for his belief, as it was bred and born in him, yet with his advantages and superior education he should begin to see this thing as it is and we pray that the Lord will spare him long enough to see the error of his way before the final day. Our first letter to Senator Tillman follows: Topeka, Kas., April 8. '13 Senator Benl. R. Tillman, Washington, D. C., Dear Sir: Being a South Carolinian, born in Abbeyville County, near the line of Edgefield, I elightly remember you, having known you when a boy and have watched your career for many years. At one time I thought you were very humous in your remarks and attacks upon the colored race of this country, but of late have began to think that you, like Paul of Tarrous, have seen your error and you are now becoming reconciled to the fact that the colored man is human as well as the white man and he is entitled to some of the rights and benefits that they enjoy. My reason for saying this is because I have not heard of anything suffered by you for the last few months that would indicate that you were still opposed to the progress of the colored people. We hope before many days you will be found uttering some good words of encouragement for the uplift of these people, and hope you will introduce a measure that will place them on an equality with other men and encourage them to help a race of people who were enslaved by your race for over two centuries, and it is your Christian duty to help undo the great injustice that has been perpetrated upon them. If this is accomplished you will merit the prayers of thousands, for there are many praying Christians of both races, who are striving to bring about this change. There are untold numbers of white people, both North and South, who would like to see the colored man have a chance to prove that he is worthy of being an American citizen. I hope you will receive this in the spirit of friendliness and be kind enough to give us an answer, as I would like to know what you think is best for the elevation of the colored race and if you think they are worthy of consideration and of the highest respect of the best where people. ple of the country, so they can apply themselves to any vocation in life and make themselves serviceable to the various communities in which they live. Yours truly, NICK CHILES. P. S.- I am editor and owner of The Topeka Plaindeater, established fifteen years ago, and we are striving for the betterment of both races. Senator Tullman's prompt reply follows: U. S. Senate, April 12th, 1917. Nick Chiles, Topeka, Kansas. Dear Sir: I have yours of April 8th. I note what you say about my attitude toward Negroes. It shows how poorly you have kept posted. I take the liberty of sending you some of my speeches in the Senate itself showing the basis of my opposition to Negro equality, and my attitude towards the Republicans' claim that the Negroes are as good as white men. About a year ago my old colored friend, Joe Gibson, who lived with me thirty years, died. I spent seventy-five dollars to have a granite monument placed over his grave to commemorate his good qualities. I hope you will read the speeches I am sending. Then let me know what you think about my attitude toward the colored people. I like them much better in their places than I do dages; but out of their places, I have to use for them whatever. There is only one attitude they can assume with safety so themselves. That is the acknowledgment of white supremacy. Anything else will doom them to extermination. Upon receipt of the Senator's letter and speeches, we perused same carefully and replied to Mr. Tullman as follows: Ispensa, Iasv, April 27, '12. Senator Beng, R. Tullman. Washington, D. C. My Dear Senator--I am in receipt of your letter of the 12th inst., which to my surprise did not answer the questions submitted to you in my letter of the 9th inst. I am also in receipt of your speeches delivered in the Senate on the Brownsville affair and also several speeches on the race problem delivered in 100%. I find nothing in them that refers to the uplift or any race, but deals in personalities. They are individual cases of colored or white men that can be selected to discuss in any manner that one would see fit to appease his feelings, whether good or bad. What we would like to know is if you consider the Negro a fit subject for citizenship after 50 years of freedom, accumulation of wealth, owners of vast lands, and millions of educated men and women, who at this age are not looked upon as the "old type of Negro" for whom you erected a monument and who served you as faithful as your dog, but as human beings with a Christian religion and noble ideals? The former class of Negroes have passed away and a new man in the image of yourself has appeared upon the scene and demands the same things that you demand to make him happy. Now, I would like to know if you are a Christian and believe in the Holy Bible; the Lord and Saviour Jesus, Christ and if you acknowledge the colored man as an American citizen and subject to the rights of the constitution that you enjoy. In speaking of the Mongolian race, you say you object to them living on the same plain as the white men, but I see no statement from you concerning California and the other Western states who are trying to beat the Mongolian race from the same rights as the white man Japan has made her demand upon this country to prevent outrageous laws being enacted making their rare inferior to TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING MAY 2, 1913. A "Deal" to Sell Episcopal Residence Stately Home of A. M. E. Bishops Should Be Rescued from the Clutches of Vampires. the white man of this country and you an U. S. Senator, acquiescing in this matter to such an extent that your mouth is shut and your ears deaf to the pleas of the whites in California, that they be allowed to enact laws that will relieve them of the Japanese invasion—obtaining land and going to school with their sons and daughters. Now Senator, you should be at least fait to the colored people, who have made you and the other people of the South what you are today. Had it not been for men like Joe Gibson, your ex-slave and his people, the Southern white man would not have been able to educate himself or accumulate the vast wealth that he now holds. You say that the only attitude for safety of the Negro of this country is to acknowledge white supremacy? I do not see why you should demand that of him and not of the Japanese! They are not acknowledging this and they have flocked into this country, acquired your land and defying you to pass laws infringing upon their rights! Now that your race is so powerful and mighty, why do you not let the said states pass these anti-Mongolian laws, thereby showing their supremacy over the other races of the earth? You seem to hinge on the Republican party as being responsible for the attitude of the Negro in asking for equality of law and the ballot. No citizen should be compelled to look to any one party for their rights. The Democratic party should be as loyal as the Republican party in meting out justice and enacting laws to all alike. I am afraid you are getting out of touch with the present day conditions and the rapid progress that is being made by the colored man. The wealth that they now control runs into millions and their schools and colleges are turning out men of every profession, who are making good, and their only hindrance is men like you and your teaching, who try to obstruct every move they make by referring to their color and not their brain and skill. There is no reason why the low, degraded, criminal white man should have any superiority over the well educated, upright colored man, and when you teach this you do a gross injustice to both races. Now please tell me what you will do with that portion of the race that was mixed during the days of slavery by white men, and if you insist that they be brought up on equality with their half brothers? I still have hope that you will play The Fifth Episcopal District of the A. M. E. church, of which Rt. Rev. H. B. Parks is the presiding bishop, is offering the episcopal residence at Kansas City, Kas., for sale. The entire district and every member of the A. M. E. church should enter a vigorous protest against this "deal." The bishops should live in their respective districts and as Kansas City is the gate way of the district, the residence should be maintained here. Chicago is too far away for the ministers to get a quick reply on urgent matters. The episcopal residence is a fine, two-story eight room structure with large halls, closets, hot air furnace, bath, toilet and every other convenience known to modern house-building. It is located on Washington boulevard, one of the finest thoroughfares in the West and in a fine neighborhood. If some of the bishops can live and work in fever stricken Africa; sleep and eat in huts, surely a bishop in the United States can dwell in such a house as has been provided by the hard-working men and women of the church and race for this sole purpose. If such a man is the lamented Bishop Grant could dwell in this house, why can't other bishops who chance to follow him do the part of Paul of Tarsus before you end up in this world, and depart for that great beyond, and that you will see the errors of your way and will call a halt on your white brethren, who believe as you do on the race question, and thereby cause a complete revolution in this country on this question. I hope that you will kindly answer this letter, especially these questions and tell us whether you are in favor of making citizens out of them and give them the same chance as the white man and if you believe that the degenerate, criminal white man is superior to the upright, honest colored man. Very respectfully, United States Senate. Washington, D.C. Apr. 25, 1912. Nick Chiles, Esq. Topka, Kansas. Dear Sir: I have yours of April 24. I do not care to enter into a discussion with you on the "Race Question," for it would be fruitless of good results. You have your ideas and I have mine, and we would never come to any common ground. I believe the white man to be the superior race of the world. You think the Negroes are as good as the whites and have been taught so by the Republican party. But the Republicans have finished every time the matter was brought home to them in concrete way, and they only preach that doctrine for political effect and use. I am in favor of California keeping out Mongolians, because I believe the two races are non-assimilable; and I would not have the United States government interfere in the slightest degree with the enactment in California to prevent these Mongolians from holding land in that state. You do not pretend to believe, I hope, that the Negroes are equal to the Japanese on approach them in ability, for all history would thunder in your ears "falschool hat!" The "low graduated criminal white man" describes no superiority over the well educated, upright colored man, and I do not contend that such white people alone should govern; but you pick out the lowest types of whites and the best types of Negroes and draw comparisons that are altogether misleading and unjust. I have known Negroes it were better, than some white in me, but that has nothing to do with the general opinion that the white race is superior to the Negro race in any other race or the globe, for all history proves it. Even So Seil al Residence A. M. E. Bishops rescued from the of Vampires. likewise. The ministers have to work too hard to raise money for so many different purposes, and oftimes make personal sacrifices to meet the demands of the church. Some are half clothed and fed in order to make a good report at the annual conference and to have their hard work and efforts brushed away so slightly is far more than the people should be asked to stand for. All money raised for the purchase or erection of buildings should stand as a monument to the brave men and women who contributed to its success, that they may show their children of their work for God and humanity. Let everybody protest against this "deal" and if they need more money for building purposes at Quindare, let them devise some plan as heretofore borne fruit. If the sale is made by the time the money is handed around, no one would ever be able to tell that the church ever owned and maintained such a residence. There is nothing to gain and all to lose. Keep the residence; it's paid for. The late Bishop Grant was loved, honored and respected by everybody regardless of creed, color or religion, and he resided in this house, and others that follow him are no better. the Japanese were taught by the Europeans what they now know. They have been apt scholars and are good fighters. That is all. But if the test ever comes and I think the prospect is that it will come before long, the whites will whip the Japanese just as they have whipped all the other races. Do not be a fool because you have been to college. It is not worth while for you to write me any more letters, for I shall not notice them by replying. Respectfully, B. R. TILLMAN. To the charge of having attended a college, I most respectfully plead not guilty, and am sorry to be thus misrepresented by the Senator. NEGRO STATE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL! Institution at Quindaro a Proud Monument to Kansas. THE NEW BOARD OF TRUSTEES HAVE MADE GOOD. Faculty, Students, and Friends of the School Throughout the Country are Rejoicing Over the New Order of Things—It is a Strict Business Proposition and Already it is Bearing Good Fruit. The people of Kansa and the West especially those who have relatives and friends attending the State Industrial department at Western University will be pleased to learn of the great improvement being made by the new board of trustees, recently appointed by Gov. Hodges. Much credit is due Hon. A D Griffin, president of the trustee board and Hon. Cynthia Landell, purchasing agent, who are devoting much time and taking great pains in placing this school on a level with other great universities of Kansas. They are making the necessary improvements and equipments to make the school far better and greater than ever before and have things in good condition for the next term. The students and faculty are very thankful for the great interest now being manifested in them by these gentlemen, also for making everything comfortable and cheerful and they are proud to speak in glowing terms of the State Industrial Department of Western University. The landscape gardner is laying walks and preparing the grounds, to beautify and adorn the institution with shrubbery, blue grass and roses, which will have much to do with making the institution home-like. The girl's dormitory has been furnished with a very cozy parlor and reception room. It is neatly furnished with rugs and comfortable rockers. In addition to the lawn is several resting benches, also on the tennis court and the girls now enjoy outdoor life, which is improving their health and strengthening their muscles, which has much to do with developing their intellect. The boy's dormitory has also been fitted with a reception room, neatly furnished with rugs, rockers and pictures. They have placed new oak steps in Stanley Hall and have remodeled it somewhat, which makes it look much better than in the past few years. They have decided to make everything better and put it in first class condition and expect a larger school in point of numbers at the next term. Kansas and Kansans and the people throughout the country endorse The Plaindealer when we say that the work of Dr. H. T Kealung, superintendent of the State Industrial Department has rendered signal service in developing young men and women to go out into the world and Price $1.50 Per Year. meet and conquer the sterner things in life. He has long been recognized as one of America's foremost educators, and his work at this great and growing institution proves clearly all that has been claimed for him. No man throughout this broad land has worked harder for the uplift of an institution and the boys and girls therein than Dr. Kealing, and his friends throughout the nation are singing his praises. While the appropriation is not as large as it should be to carry the plans already mapped out, there will be a great effort made to make the institution larger and better in the future. Messrs. Griffin, Kealing and Lindell are tireless workers and spare no time or pains in looking up what is most needed and useful for the unbuilding of the school. Great preparations are being made to make the commencement one of the Greatest in the history of any of the State's institutions. Gov. Hodges will address the student body on June 5th and Rev. J. E. Edwards, of Columbia, Mo., formerly of Topeka will preach the baccalaureate sermon. MANHATTAN, KANSAS.

In these times of high prices it be boores us to manage in every way to reduce the cost of living, and yet be well supplied with plenty of wholesome and nutritious food. Now, cheese will in a measure supply the place of meat, and if made in the home on the farm will cost but little in comparison with meat. Any one living sufficient cows to obtain five or six gallons of milk in the morning, or part evening's milk can be used providing it is per perfectly sweet, can make delicious cheese, and if a part of evening's milk is used it may as well be skimmed, as that cream is likely to be lost. The utensils needed can be found in any farm home. Take six grains of milk, heat to 55 degrees in a clean wash boiler, remove from the stonewall and add half of a rennet tablet, possibly dissolved in half a cupful of water. Also add a little cheese in it. A very little will answer for no, but not want cheese too highly clotted.

Mrs. Nellie Turner of Croweburg, Kans., who was shot through the head afew days ago is able to return home from the Mt. Carmel hospital, where she was attended by Dr. H. T. Geeder. Mrs. Alice Galloway who was operated upon a few days ago by Dr. H. T. Geeder is rapidly improving and will soon be ready for an operation for the removal of a large fibroid tumor, which is also to be performed by Dr. Geeder. Mrs. Rufus Brown is soon to enter the hospital to undergo an operation by Dr. Geeder for the removal of a large fibroid tumor. Mrs. B. B. Slaughter of Curransville, is improving under the careful treatment of Dr. H. T. Geeder. Mrs. Slaughter stood the operation well, and was greatly benefitted. Mrs. Cola Ray's friends are glad to note the improvement in her condition since being treated by Dr. H. T. Geeder, assisted by Dr. Williams of Joplin, Mo. We are also glad to note that Dr. Geeder is skilled in his work and that his work is perfect enough to stand the test anywhere performed. That is what the public should look for, one that can deliver the goods, especially when he is colored. We are glad to see Mrs. Lewis out again after a serious illness.

Dr. Brookins of Kansas City, Mo., is enjoying a fine practice in that city, and there is also a great demand for him at his old home, Ft. Scott, Kansas, as he makes a trip there three or four times each month. He is a fine physician and is doing well and the people of Ft. Scott would like to have him move back. One of the most prominent men in the secret order of the West, is Mr. E. S. Lewis, Grand Secretary of the United Order of Odd Fellows of Kansas City, Mo. His office is located at his residence, 1306 Highland. He has all the work of the endowment department of the juvenile and ladies court, as well as the males and collects and despenses thousands of dollars each year among the beneficiaries. They also have a burial department with thousand of dollars to handle from the fact that the Grand Lodge buries all its members in its juris fiction. Mr. Lewis is a mail carrier and is one fo the best in the city. He is assisted in his office by his sister, who knows the ins and outs of his office from A to Z. Mr. Lewis is a widower and we see an opportunity for some good woman to make a good man happy. Miss Lola Elmore, one of Kansas City's teachers, is one of the most progressive ladies in the West. She owns a nice residence at 1607 Harrison and other property. She was formerly of Carthage, Mo., and accepted a position in Kansas City some years ago and came there to live with her parents. She teaches at Douglas school and her reputation as a teacher cannot be surpassed. She is a good business woman and always finds good investments for her savings from teaching school. Some years ago she purchased stock in a lumber and rubber company, which has yielded good dividends. She is now maturing life insurance policies to the amount of $3,000, some maturing this year and others in three or four years. This shows she is a far better business woman than most of the colored men, who do not study the life insurance business from a business standpoint. Miss Elmore has never entered the bonds of matrimony but if things continue as they are we understand that some young man is going to make his claim in the near future. Prof Jno L. F. Talton, one of Wilson's original colored Democrats, is candidate for Recorder of Deeds He has been corresponding with Pres. Wilson for two years and organized the first Wilson club in Missouri among the colored men at Kansas City, long before the Baltimore Convention. He is principle of Wheatley school and has the endorsement of the leading Democrats of Kansas City, Mo. Royal C. C. Owens and wife moved to Kansas City, Kansas from Denver, Ohio, and now reside at 311 North Sixth street. Rev Owens is President of the Omaha District of the A.M.

If war is proclaimed between the United States and Japan, there is nothing for the colored brother to do but stay at home as his four fathers did until emancipation was proclaimed by Abraham Lincoln calling them to arms to fight then former master for freedom. The American white man has made no provision for colored state militia and have denied them such privileges to train for warfare. Of course we expect the white man to wait until the Japs have them nearly whipped and then call on the colored brethren to save them and help them finish the job. It is high time that the American white man awake to his sense of duty and acknowledge the black man's usefulness instead of making him a target for his prejudices and cast him aside and deny him the right of working and making an honest living by giving him such jobs as they want him to have at starvation wages. Perhaps Japan will straighten out this matter and it will teach our white brethren a lesson as it did before. OVER OF AMERICAN YOUTH Parents should have children take this Oath. I will never bring disgrace upon my face by any unworthy deed or dishonorable act. I will lead a clean, modest, amorous life, and will ever respect and defend the virtue and honor of womanhood. I will obey and uphold and obey the just laws of my country and of the community in which I live and will encourage others to do likewise. I will not allow prejudice, injustice, insult or outrage to cover my print or humiliate my soul, but will ever preserve the inner freedom of heart and conscience. I will not allow myself to be overcome of evil, but will strive in overcome of evil with good. I will endeavor to develop and excel the best powers within me for my own personal improvement, and will strive unceasingly to quicken the sense of racial duty and responsibility. I will in all these ways aim to uplift my face so that, to everyone bound to it by ties of blood, it shall become a bond of enmoblement and not a by-word of reproach. PARSONS KANSAS. Obituary on the Death of Miss. Lus Carora French. Who Departed This Life April 22, 1913. "I have more than time to fall And flower to suffer at the North whose breath. And stare to eat but all. That hast all seasons for them own. O. Death! We know who moon shall wane. When summer birds from far shall cross the sea. When autumn's hue shall tinge the golden grain, But who shall teach it to look on these? Death of a man has invaded our mind, and we know that God hath given "blessed sleep" to Mrs. Lusca and one in McCandy Francis, who was at Montfort, Ky., March 18, 1854 and was married in marriage to Mrs. W. Parrish Nov. 2, 1860. They moved to Parsons April 25, 1872.

At the said news passed from house to house that this dear one had departed, we could not realize it was true, though we knew by the Divine plan of apes, the resentment of Death has been passed upon us all.

"She stretched out her hand to the poor, you, she reached forth her hand to the needy. She opened her mouth with wisdom and in her tongue was the law of kindness. Her children rise up and call her blessed: her husband also praises her." husband also printeth her. Though she had not made an open confession of Christianity, we know by her fruits that she loved Christ and his cause; that she had passed from death unto life, because she loved the birthen. Nothing but allace presented her from assembling with us, and we feel that she is not dead, but gone before. She leaves to mourn her departure a loving husband, three children, four grand children, other relatives and a host of dear friends. Our beloved has departed, while we tary broken hearted.

Will Woman Solve Mystery or Let Child Brave World Mone? No Pudd'nhead Wilson was on hand in the juvenile court yesterday with thumb prints to establish the lineage of Don Edwards, 2 years old, and spurned by two faces. The baby himself, blond and with gray eyes, gurgled smiling at the array of men and women about him, unwitting of the delicma in which he was placing the court. And it was still a dilemma when the court scrutched his judicial head, said he could not solve the riddle and that time alone would tell Only the baby is a football of torture. Or a mother little is known, except that she was a white woman. Early, the baby was thrown upon the charity of those other than his parents. For a time he was in the care of Mrs. Patterson, 2807 Express avenue. She took him to the Detention home so that a new home could be found for him. Do it at attica child and it as not love out a foster mother name to ad pt him. One day the baby was all and a doctor was called. "It is a Negro child," he told the rescuer for a mother, who had known to love the baby. So Don can link to the Detention home and was temporarily placed in Saint Simon' home 375 Lydia avenue, a Negro institution. Saint Simon' gave him for adoption to a Negro woman, who promised to be a good mother to him. Asam trouble came to Don. No mother was to in his new mother's charge than her friends, said to her: "What are you doing with that white child?" Not convinced herself of Don's race this third mother returned the baby to the home, and those in charge there, just as lubious, brought the child to the jail rule court yesterday. There Don underwent the secretiny of many eyes, but the doubt of his race was not dispelled. "I am not sure," said Judge Porterfield, much puzzled. "I wouldn't stake my judgment on it" said Dr. I. I Mathias, probation officer, who has solved similar problems without hesitation. "It puzzles me," said Edward Ross a Navigio probation officer. Every test of color, eyes, finger nails and the life was applied. Don admitted cheerfully, but the riddle remained in the air. Finally the court sent the law back to St Simon's until further information can be obtained in the case. On their judgment, the judge will hinge the future of the infant's life. From 1 to the only person in the world she still lives — the stage. Al no longer fight his battle unproof, from the side source, of the most vital to the most distaste. If work, what in the world destined, in case of death, to be always a necessity would not take on him of the responsibility of his baby's state in the work. And the motto? Whoever may be in what-surprise of the world as her, as do the world's young? To give her child a plight of the world of men, or will not sit and rest the world with the world of children. I to another, no take in infancy to watch in the world of one as against the world. The solution of such a problem was easy for an acute Paul's head Wilson. But here fingerprints would not avail. The proof of childhood from Paul's head—a child without a home, without a home can call his own, with only doubt and uncertainty as his bitter heritage. WOMEN'S CLUBS TO MEET.

Curculio and Codling Moth Are Re- responsible For Much Damage. Spraying is the chief method of control of catcalls and coiling moth in apple orchards but there are a number of other natural or artificial checks. Handling of the trees to capture the descending worms of coiling moth as they search for a place for pupation will sometimes capture as high as 50 per cent of the worms upon the tree, but it cannot be considered a practical operation when such far better results can be accomplished by spraying. When binds are used they must be looked after every ten days and the worms destroyed to prevent the moth from miting and making its escape. If this is not done they will only offer hiding places and do more harm than good. They are sometimes useful in trapping the first emerging worms in the summer in order to forestest the date of appearance of second generation worms. Scraping the rough bark from trees in the spring destroys many bilberry-mulching coiling moth larvae, and the screening of coil windows and doors where worms fruit or fruit packages are kept for the uptime and destruction of the coiling moths is sometimes practical. The destruction of fallen fruit for the purpose of adding the orchard of coiling moth is not a very effective measure from the fact that the majority of the worms leave the fruit before it falls to the ground. In Ohio it was shown by experiment that ```markdown ``` Photograph by United States department of agriculture APPLES DAMAGED BY PLUM CURCULIO 72 per cent of codling moth larvae leave the apples either before the apples have fallen or within twenty-four hours after. On the other hand, the destruction of windfall apples either by picking up the fruit by hand or pasturing with hogs is advised Cultivation of orchards is one of the best procedures for curculio destruction. It keeps the orchard free from many of the desirable hibernation places for the adults, and it unquestionably destroys a high per cent of the insects in the ground. Shallow cultivations through the months of July and August will touch many larvae and pupae of this insect, which are present in greatest numbers just beneath the surface of the earth at this time. It is possible that cultivation succeeds in destroying some coiling moth larvae. The thinning of overloaded trees in the summer is often an opportunity for removing apples bearing these insects and the destruction of such apples and worms at least may prevent their further damage and leave a higher percent of perfect fruit upon the tree. There are many useful natural insect parasites and other enemies of both curculio and roddling moth - Missouri Bulletin --- By running your plow deep enough into the ground you may keep your farming from running into the ground - Country Gerr tienan Farm Machinery, its Use and Abuse Consider the binder, an expensive machine which is needed but a few days of the year. There is no many facturing business that has its own chinery standing idle so much of the time as farming," said Dean Price of the Ohio College of Agriculture. "The average life of farm machinery is ten years, counting depreciation and interest. It costs each year about 18 percent of the original investment to keep it on the farm. The way some nur- chinery is used for it will cost more than this. Munch For Potatoes Irish potatoes grown under a match produced about 45 per cent more than the native average given ordinary culti- ure at the Nebraska station. The match was four to five inches of straw of any kind or hay or leaves. Of congee no cultivation whatever was given. The mulching of these potatoes cost less than would the cultivation set the mulching density increased the stall. Senator John Sharp Williams, a practical agriculturist, has handed out a few words of advice to the boys. "My word to the farm boy," he says, "would be that the three elements of success are industry, perseverance and intelligence. Industry without intelligence does not win. Intelligence without industry does not win, and the two together must be coupled with perseverance, and to this must be added that degree of honesty in dealing with one's neighbors that makes friends for life." ```markdown ``` WHITEWASH FOR FARMS. Australian Method of Manufacture. South Americans Use Cactus Juice. The Australians use a whitewash which it is inserted will not rub off. It is prepared in the following manner: Dissolve two pounds of ordinary glue in seven pints of water and when all is dissolved add six ounces of bichromate of potassium dissolved in a pint of hot water. Stir the mixture up well and then add sufficient whiting to make it up to the usual consistency and apply with a brush in the ordinary manner as quickly as possible. This dries in a very short time and by the action of light becomes converted into a perfectly insoluble waterproof substance which does not wash off even with hot water and at the same time does not give rise to mold growth, as whitewash made up with size often does. It may be colored to any desired shade by the use of a trace of aniline dye or powder coloring, while by the addition of a small proportion of calcite sulphite its antiseptic power is much increased. A recent consular report states that a traveler in the rural districts of Uruguay will be struck by the fine white color of the farm buildings even during the wet season. This next effect is caused by the use of a whitewash prepared by incutting the sliced leaves of the common cactus in water for twenty-four hours, producing a liquid of creamy consistency, to which time is added and the whole well mixed. It is suggested that in sections of the United States where the cactus is abundant it might be utilized with advantage in this manner. The effect is durable. These whitewashes. Like all those which contain milk, flour, glue or other organic matter, are not recommended for use in damp, interior places. Board's Dairy man Beller Gate.

This is an axiom insisted on by all who know much about breeding. Following are others, and they are excellent: Every horse should have clean bedding and his feet picked out and kept clean. There is no excuse for thrush. Have no mangers and feed hay off the ground. Feed grain out of a pail or portable feed box that may be removed when the horse has finished. Keep the horse clean and be sure he has feed light, rest and exercise. No man has a better right to stand up squirrelly and look the world squirrelly in the eye than the farmer. He is the creator of this nation's wealth. Stand up so the back of your neck will touch your collar—Kannap Farmer. The Hive In Winter. Either the hive entrance should be too shallow for a house to intrude or it should be protected by wire cloth having three nails to the inch. The essentials of successful the wintering are good stores, warmth and breeze. Do not place bees in chumps upon low ground where the bottom boards will become damp and remain so all winter. Place the bunches upon dry ground rubbed up on 2 by 4 or upon hive stands. A southern slope with shelter from west and north winds is highly advisable. Practically nothing can be done at this season of the year that will be of any advantage to the bees. It is generally best to leave them strictly alone at this time. However, a slight exception might be made in connection with bees stored in cellars or other winter repositories, in which case it is well convenient to ventilate the cellars and sweep up the dead bees that accumulate on the floor. This is a positive advantage to the fire owners and in a large measure prevents the air of the cilures from becoming cool - Farm Journal PETR Mrs. A. M. Pope—Turnbo Results of "Poro" Treatment.

Humania Hair Co., Dent "F" 21 Dewan Street New York City 5 In the opinion of a current writer, there are three varieties of farmers—the new farmer, who is the progressive business agrilulturist; the old farmer, once up with his times, the pioneer with a wholesome love of work, but little ability as an adminstrator, and the mossback or the old farmer who has gone to need, who does not love work and is hopelessly lost in modern competition. He is a drag upon the progress of agriculture and an obstruction to the wheels of the country community organization. The new farmer will take care of himself, and the old farmer and the mossback are rapidly disappearing, but the extension idea is the idea of taking to them the inspiration and help that the new farmers can give.—Country Gentleman TOOLS FOR THE FARMER. Save Money, Time and Temper, by Having the Proper Equipment. Every farmer should keep good tools, so that during bad weather, when work cannot be done in the fields, repairs may be made. This work can be done on the shop. A small shop may be built cheaply. There are many repairs that will be needed during the year. Buildings will need repairs, implements need fitting fence materials are to be cut and put up, new devices, handy, contrisor etc., made. A man handy with tools can save much expense during the year, and the tools will give him employment when perhaps his time would not be profitable otherwise. Boys usually and pleasure in using carpenters' tools II. B White of the agricultural engineering department of the University of Minnesota gives the following list of tools that the average farmer should have. Square, rule, ripsaw, mallet, hammer, oilstone, handsaw, wood rasp, jack plane, drawknife, ratchet brace, screwdriver, expansive brace, marking gauge, chisels-half, one and one and a half inch; bits-one quarter, three eighths, one half, five eighths and three quarter inch. The best plan is to buy good tools. Cheap tools will seldom give satisfaction. Then the tools should be kept in a tool box in the shop or some place where they can be protected. Whenever you have finished with one always put it back in its place. Tools to be truly serviceable must be kept sharp. No progressive person can afford to waste time using dull tools. They should also be polished and kept bright.—Farm and Ranch GETS THEM BY THE LEGS. This Hog Catcher is the Work of an This Hog Catcher is the Work of an Old Time Practical Blacksmith. Old Time Practical Blacksmith. I am an old time blacksmith and have made a good many dog catchers like that in the picture, maybe a correspondent of farm and fireside, from which paper cut and description are reproduced. It is a common pair of plovers, only the jaws are rounded in place of cat. Make them about eight inches long from first to eye in end of handle. One handle has a socket as illustrated. Fatten a half lush rope in the eye by making a knot in end, then pass the other end through the second eye. This rope should be as long as the pole, which is from twelve to sixteen feet. Put it in the socket loosely. When catching the hog, throw a little corn down or 's the trough, open the catcher wide, reach with the pole to one of his blind legs and pull the rope. Pull the handle or pole out of the socket and draw the hog toward you. Have You a Celt? If the colt is bred right and handled right he does not need to be broken. He breaks himself. If the owner is on proper terms with his mares and begins handling the colts when they are quite young and if they are bred of draft type the matter of breaking them is not a question of breaking at all, but one of education. A colt can be educated just the same as a boy. It can be done by the use of the brains or a bickory stick. If trains are used a good colt will develop into a good horse, just as a good boy will develop into a good man. If the club is used good cannot be expected from either. — Kansas Farmer Keeping Calves Well dotted. The stomach of the little calf is very sensitive and easily ruined. Nothing will do it sooner than keeping the animal confined in a wet, dirty pan. Ulean the calf often and fed it with a liberal supply of dry straw oltener.
