Successful cabbage growers near Clyde, O.. after six years' trials In co operation wltb the Ohio experiment station have obtained strains resistant to yellows disease, or fusarium wilt. The All Seasons variety bns shown the least tendency to this disease, and it also possesses qualities demanded by the kraut industry. Plants have been selected for seed which have shown the strongest growth and the greatest freedom from disease. This procedure In combating'cabbage yellows has proved far more success ful than soil sterilization. and other di rect control methods, growers say. Un der conditions of continual attack by disease certain plants develop charac teristics that ward off ravages of such parasites. By continual careful selec tion and propagation desired types are produced that thrive even where dis ease is abundant, while common va rieties die or else yield poor returns. The especially resistant strains of the All Seasons cabbage have been named the Clyde Series Nob. 1 to 7. Nos. 1. 2 and 4 have proved most resistant. Within a year or two the experiment station expects to distribute the seed of these strains to growers. TOMATO GROWING PAYS ON THE GENERAL FARM By C. C. BOWSFIELD. One of the greatest of the money making commodities is the tomato. This product is important enough to be considered by farmers generally. While tomatoes are classed as garden products, I prefer to look on them as a field crop worth the best efforts of all farmers. W. A. Carr, an expert to mato grower of Minneapolis, has bad a yield as higb as 000 bushels per acre. As tomatoes are worth $1.50 to $3 a bushel, this rate of earnings puts tliem in a class by themselves. Mr. Carr advises people who have no greenhouses to start the plants In hotbeds made out of storm windows and rough lumber. Barn manure can be used for beat. Sturtlng early, he gets an early crop, and that's where 1 1 1' V3f 3 VM. jirS- Being In demund for canning pur poses as well as for universal table use when fresh picked, tomatoes have become recognized as a lead ing staple. Few garden products are so widely used, and It would b. hard to name one that pays better. Illustration shows tomato pickers at work. the big money is. lie relate his ex perience In tills way: "I plant toiunto seeds Feb. 10 In shal low boxes In the greenhouse, making a trench a balf Inch deep wltb tbe edge of a trowel and dropping the seeds In it one-half Inch apart. The trenches are one and one-half Inches apart. - 1 scatter fine dirt over the seed wltb a sifter and then spread a damp clotb over the box and leave the seed to germinate, which takes five or six days. When tbe plants buve two or three leaves they are transplanted to tbe botbed, either being planted di rectly In the soil or else In cheap wood en boxes, four inches each wuy and four inches deep, with loose bottoms. The boxes ore convenient for the sec ond transplanting, but 1 am undecided whether they ure worth the tlmo and trouble. If these boxes are not used a clump of dirt six Inches In diameter Is taken up wltb the plant when It Is transplanted out of doors, wlilcb takes place as soon as the danger of frost Is over. By this time the plants are In blossom and sometimes the fin It has begun to appear. !rent pains must be taken with this second transplant ing. A good way to do Is to dig trenches four feet apart and plare the plants In the trench four feet from each other, tamping the ground firmly about tbe roots. Water should be used In this transplanting, especially If the soli Is a little dry. Most of tbe dlr that was thrown out of the trench b left lying to be turned In bj the cul tlvator, by which time It Is warmed by tbe sun and will hasten growing. The chief enemy to watch In lomu to growing Is blight, which will make Itself apparent when the ends of the leaves turn brown and wither. This an be successfully overcome by spray Ing wltb bordeaux mixture. I usually illp my plants In a weak solution be fore the second transplanting and then aim to give them a second spraying. Don't be afraid of getting It on the fruit, 't won't Injure It" Rural Carrier Wanted An examination of applicants for the position of rural mail carrier for work out of the Eagle Creek office in this county will be held at Portland on February 24.

Is it fate that brings men into the world as equals and sends them out, when the course of years has run, an oddly varied multitude? Is it fate that gives one man a mansion and his brother, born equal, a hovel? Is it fate that puts gold into the regal pockets of one and makes rags and tatters the gain of the other? How does the Master skim off the dross that goes to the potter's field and leave a mass for silken shrouds in tombs of finest marble? Once a stalwart youth bearing proudly the arms of his beloved America upon buoyant, boyish shoul ders, clad in the uniform of the Unit ed States army now but the dead body that rests in the spring moon light beneath the cold sod and a gleaming' white board. - Thus did Joseph H. Peasley, once of the United States army, find the reward that fate designed for him. He went peacefully to sleep last week and was quietly lowered into the vault of moist earth at Mountain View on Friday. In the morning of his life Joseph Peasley had a heart that beat as fast as your's or mine under the thrill of hopeful dreams of fame and fortune. And we may believe, though Peasley did not tell, that the same heart throbbed bravely as the glamor of youthful love called him to that other heart that waited and hoped with him for the fame and the fortune that he might have had. From his birthplace in New Hamp shire, a loving mother tearfully watching the trim procession, Joseph marched away to war. How proud he held his head as he advanced tow ard the great turmoil of brothers be hirid the stars and stripes of freedom, of equality! How a brave patriotism held him steadfast to his country and to his love! How he fought in that grim war that he might return to claim "her" who had kissed his boy ish lips as a prayer for divine pro tection escaped her own! . And she clung to him at parting like the abid ing faith that made her own heart true. The rebellion of the north and south was like the long war in his own soul. Joseph did not return for the heart that was pledged to him. Perhaps he did return. Love was cold faith had withered in the winds of four years on the battlefield. And the years crept on, the brown locks turned to silver gray, the dreams faded, even as did the love that helped to make them seem so real; fame proved fickle and fortune well, fate measures the fortunes of mortals and Joseph Peasley was not the master of the fate that held him in bondage. For 25 years this man, once the pride of a loying mother, once the hero and hope of the girl he loved, had been an outcast The friends of younger years vanished with the dreams of his boyhood a soldier without an army, a fighter without a cause. Arteries that will harden in spite of all human resistance as age ad vances cut short the aimless existence of Joseph Peasley. They took him from the haunts that he had known during a quarter-century of lone someness to the grave that will be his harbor until time has made of him the dust from which he came. The span of life collapsed sudden ly. There were no friend3, there were no tears. Joseph Peasley had not appeared to cut wood a task that brought food and meagre rai ment. Curious folk found him ill. Days passed, weeks curious folk found Peasley dead. Maybe it was a "selfish life that ended. Perhaps the romance of his life was marred by the stubborn tex ture of his own heart We do not know Peasley's story. He kept within his own mind the secrets of a life time. Twenty-five years in one little neighborhood did not mellow the man to the extent that his friends could know from whence he came or whither he was bound. And even with the shadow of death over the valley of life Peasley was a human secret. N Men who want little on earth usu ally find their desires fulfilled. Men who bore their way through the years without friends usually go to the pot ter's field and there are no tears. The boys who fought for the north ern cause when Peasley was a bright, uniformed young man, carried their "comrade" to the grave. Side by with the bodies of others of the north's brave dead lies Joseph Peas ley. At his head is a white fir slab. At his foot is the marker of the Grand Army of the Republic, that in death the soldier may find an echo of the fame that life denied him. On the books of the county court is a bill for the expenses of the burial of the man; without friends, without funds, without flowers. And in the minds of those who knew him for the years he spent among them is a memory a memory of the sad songs that were sung over the quiet form, as it slept in a plain coffin, bv Mrs. A. McDonald, John W. Loder, Mrs. Green and R. L. Holman; a memory of the tenderly pathetic ceremony read by the good, big- hearted Dr. Milliken; a memory of the silver-haired Comrades Moore, Sawyer, Stokes, Hobble, Holton and Parton, who lowered the death box into its sepulchre; a memory of the thud-thud of the clay clods as they slowly covered, forevermore, the body of a man.

Too Many People Die From Came That Are Preventable. Probably 350,000 people die yearly In the United States from preventable causes; also something like 2 per cent of tbe population Is disabled from sick ness at any given time, and a large part of this Is preventable. The standing problem before public health boards is: How, with the means at their disposal, to make the greatest possible reduction In this social waste? Perhaps there has been more co-op eration in tbls governmental field than In any other a freer circulation of Ideas and experience, so that one com munity has profited by tbe discoveries of another. Yet tbe work Is far from systematized. . A pamphlet by the Russell Sage foundation suggests that, with ade quate reports on mortality and sick ness, communities which have tbe same general health conditions may by careful study and comparison work out a formula for applying their health appropriations with reasonable certain ty of getting the best possible results for the money. Tbe first factor in the formula would be the amount of damage produced by any gven cause of sickness and death. The second factor would be tbe readi ness with which this cause yielded to preventive measures. For example, cancer causes much damage, but in the present stage of medical science Is not classed as a preventable disease. On the other hand, smallpox causes little damage, but Its potentialities of dam age are high, and it readily yields to the simple preventive of vaccination. By a sufficiently careful study of ade quate data a health board can reduce this to mathematical terms and say. with assurance, "Twenty-four per cent of our appropriation should go to pre venting Infants' diseases; 12 per cent to tuberculosis." And so on the fig ures varying, of course, under differ ent conditions of climate, bousing, and the like. The plan Is a suggestion as to what may be accomplished by co-operation among towns. Saturday Evening Post CRUSHING A NATION. The Cambray League end the Fall of .Ahe Venetian Republic Tbe League of Cambray was the po litical combination of continental Eu rope In 1508 against the Venetian re public, which tore from the "Queen of the Adriatic" her resplendent crown and forced to her lips tbe cup of deep est humiliation. Back of the league and causing Its formation were Jealousy, ambition and tbe desire of crippling tbe proud peo: pie, whose history was the wouder aud envy of the world. Too powerful to be overthrown by any single power, It was resolved that Venice should be crushed by the combined forces of all Europe. During the terrible days of Attlla, about A. D. 453. Venice was founded out among the lagoons of the Adriatic, where, It was felt, safety would be found from the ravages of the Hun. The history of tbe thousand years from the foundation of the city to the year 1508 reads like magic. Klsing from tbe waves, Venice became tbe wonder of the world. Her navy cut the waters of every known sea. Her merchants were the greatest on earth. Her bank was tbe financial center of the world. And for more than teu centuries did Venice remain the glory of the world. the center of wealth, opulence and power, the home of culture and intel ligence, the hearthstone about which sat the finest of the Intellectual graces and hospitalities, and such she might have remained but for tbe League of Cambray, which, with its overwhelm ing forces, gave her the blow (at Ag- nadello in 1509) from wblcb It was Im possible for ber to recover. Exchange. Train Names. The old picturesque English habit of naming trains of special Importance teems to be dying out fast In these ma terialistic days. While America keeps up tbe custom, we never sneak now of a "Zulu," a "Flying Scotchman" or a "Wild Irishman."
