THE FOREST REPUBLICAN. i. C. WINK, lOITOB 4 FnOPHItTOK. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 17, 1S1? lIAlilUNIU lt) LETTER. llARRisnvno, Pa., March 22, 1NC7. Tho past week 1ms been nno of activity unil work In ttio legislature, anil n largo amount of legislation has been acted on from first reading toinal passage. Tho House ealpiulnr now embraces upward of two hundred hills reported from com mittees, most of which am on second reading and will nearly nil bo reached in the coming fortnight. This does not In clude the two hundred and upward ap propriation bills in committee and which will be brought out in a heap some of these deys. When I state tho number ol appropriation bills it does not necessa rily imply that all will be passed for mxny of them will "go by the board," nil will be scaled down very materially and very few get through that are not strictly necessary, for tho urgency for retrenchment and economy is apparent to all this year. A new scalp bounty bill went through on second reading this week, and judg ing fioin I ho temper of the House when it was under consideration will have little trouble on final passage, and thus our old triend Anthony Walters, who blamed the writer for "vetoing" tho law two years ago, (when the courts decided it unconstitutional) will bo appeased. Tho bill piovides for a bounty of t-.OO on wild cats, f 1.00 on foxes, 50 cents on minks and 25 cents on large weasels, hawks and owls. I An act "authorizing the purchase by tho common wealth of unseated lands for the non-payment of taxes for the pur pose of creating a State forest reserva tion" passed the house finally on Tues day. The bill puts the State in the same attitude as an individual as to the pur chase of these lands when sold by the county, but it is not permissablo to bid more than the taxes and costs, and only on such lands as are valueless for any thing but the ro-forestiug of the section. After such purchase the land is the ex clusive property of the State and shall be used only in the rearing and cultivation of forest, tho design being to ultimately reclaim the denuded hills and valleys and bring about a state of woodland growth such as existed thirty to forty years ago in our section of country. A consummation devoutly to bo wished. It will take years to accomplish this, but a start must be made some time, and fu ture generations will enjoy the blessings in which past generations once revelled. The House did a good act the oilier day in killing a bill "to establish a legis lative commission," the design of which was to create a board at supervisors, so to speak, which Bhould pass upon and consent to all proposed legislation before It could be enacted into law. Throe law yers were to be appointed by tho Gov ernor who were to enjoy this extraordi nary privilege, their terms of office to extend for ten years and the pay of each to be $J00 per month while on duty. In other words, the legislature elected by the people was asked to say that it was no longer competent to Judge of what measures should or should not be enacted into law, and therefore must call on three outsiders io give the proper instructions. Sometimes we think this wouldn't be such a bad idea but as a rulo it would hardly be the proper thing for the legis lature to appoint lor itself a sot of guar dians. ine Stewart nsh bill was called up on Ihursday afternoon and although the House was rather thinly populated there were enough preseut to raise the usual row over legislation of this nature, and a quite merry tinio was had, resulting in a hurried adjournment in order to save the life of the incongruous proposition. The bill has a few good features but it is so fearfully "out ot joint" in most respects as to make it practically worthless. If it becomes a law in its present form the gentleman who takes a brook trout less than six inches in length pays ten dollars lor his sport or goes to jail one day lor each dollar of penalty imposed. He who catches a salmon of loss weight than three pounds must either throw him, her "C i;aen into me stream lnstanter or suffer a like indignity as the unsports man -like troutor. Other nonsensical re quirements might be pointed out, but this will suffice to show what foolish propositions will creep into the legisla ture and occasionally become laws. It is scarcely possible for the bill to pass final ly unless in a greatly modified form. Prof. Hamilton appeared before a com mitteeof the House and Senate Wednes day evening and talked on what is now known as the Hamilon road bill. His lecture was similar to that given before the farmers' institute a year ago in Tic nesta. His road bill is u very uood one in many respects, but has somo features which will bring radical changes to many counties in the State and conse quently will make rural members some what chany its support. The feature which requires 50 per cent, of tho road tax to be paid in cash is stronly opposed by the farming element, who are already sorely hampered in getting enough cash together to meet those taxes which must be paid in money. The bill further pro vides that road-masters shall be appoin ted by the road supervisors, (tho super visors being about the same as tho road commissioners under the Forest county law). Tlie road masters are to havo dis tricts comprising not more than 20 miles of road over which they shall have super vision, and it shall be the duty of such roadinaster to "work upon the road him self during at least seven months of each year." The supervisor "Irom time lo time shall tlx the wages to be paid per day tj roadniasters and laborers." Any taxable may prior to the loth of April in each year, uotify in writing the supervis ors of his desiro to work out the one-hall' part of his road tax, and a failure on tiio part of any taxpayer to notify the super visors prior to tho lOtli of April shall be regarded as a waiver of his right so to do, and the whole amount shall be collecti ble in money. The bill is pending in the Senate and will likeiy como up lor final action in that body in a short time and be stilt to tho House. The city and county superintendents of schools ol the State held a three day's coiiveii'ion hero last wiek which wus hugely attended. Sii.l.

Everyone knows the most important part of tho farm house is the kitchen I And tho most indispensable factor to the kichpn Is a good garden, and thpro npver was a time when there was a greater nopessity for raising and producing in dividually that which adds luxuries to thp table. Tho reason for this Is that In the last forty ypars wo have built nearly three hundred thousand miles of railroad, the grading, tho tics, the iron and tho rolling stock hail all to bo produced. We chased (he Indians and thp butlalos from a vast portion of our territory, and wp covered the hind with towns and cities, somo of whi -h exceed in population more than one million. A rapid growtli which has never been known elsewhere on tho face of tho earth. Wp found a portion of this ground already cleared and most of it vcrv productive. It was plowed and sowed with our mod ern facilities and harvested with machin ery ol our own invention, which sur passed everything which before had been introduced. At prespnt a lady with gloved hands can reap and bind in a day more than twenty men could have done in that length of timo forty years ago. The rougher portions of this land were ovpred with sheep and cattle. Mean time the geniuses of America had brought iorth tho trolley car, tho bicycle and in fact a thousand other inventions which have taken the placo of hand work. Xo one would think of saying that wo can find in this land this work lo do over again in tho next forty years. This great Internal maket which wo have enjoyed has produced facilities for man ufacturing and producing, which, I am sorry to say, we are unable to maintain to-day. As wo have lost this labor wo must turn our attention to producing and providing for our actual needs. And the first step in this direction is to have con nected with every household a produc tive garden !. It would bo impossible for mo to dotil all the things necessary to havo and to do in order to procure a good garden. But I will mention the most necessary things and cite you to the books which will givo you tho fullest particulars. The first consideration is a suitablo lo cation for your garden. If tho ground is not naturally dry it must be drained, then properly fertilized. The most suc cessful gardens we have had have been tho results of fall plowing, followed by an early spring plowing which gave the frost a hance to pulverize the ground more thoroughly than spring plowing alone could do. And by this means many injurious insects are brought to the surface and cle-troyed by the frosts. The next thing in order, if possible, is to have a good seed drill and wheel hoe, as these will enable one to accomplish twice tho amount of work in a given time that he could do with tho old meth ods. Nearly all of the garden vegetables can bo put in with the drill, about all can be worked with tho wheel hoe For this work we use the Planet Jr. drill and hoe. Ono must know the most profitable things to plant and acquaint himself with tho best varieties. He must be able to take advantage of tho most improved vegetables. But you must not ruin j our gardens by constantly experimenting with things advertised by meu who are anxious to make money at your expense. The United States Government has now over fifty experiment colleges located in al most that many states 'n tho union which do all tho scientific experiment work of agriculture that can be required by a peoplo. They are in reach of every farmer who will ask for information con cerning progress or improvements. One of the best helps published is Bulletin No. 15, entitled "Handbook of Experi ment Station Work," which you can oh tain, free of charge, by addressing the United States Department of Agrlcul ture, Washington, D. C. It will be found to be of great value to farmers, stock- raisurs and gardeners. The first Beed to go into the ground are the-peas early and lato and they must be planted as soon as the ground is suf ficiently dry, and if planted early care must be taken to have them well cov ered. Onions may be set about this time. Some of tho newer varieties are more at tractive and seem to bo more palatable and productive. A few rows of potatoes should be put in early, and they will require a deeper' covering than would be necessary later in the season. They may be Early Hose, neauiy ot neuron or Karly Ohio or one of half a dozen other good varieties, read somewhere that a Road Inland gar uener naci cut tuners into tour pieces lengthwise and alter giving them plenty of fertilizer w raped each pieco in a news. paper and set it endways in a box of earth. They were then put in a warm place where growth soon started and they were set out in three week with roots well under way ami the new crop was gotten moro than two weeks earlier by this treatmtn. About tho middle of last April we had the sprouts rubbed from potatoes which had been wintered in a cellar, and placed in a hole which was dug in a dry place, three feet deep and lined with straw. The potatoes wero put in twelve inches dcep,hoards were lain on top and earth was thrown in to tho level of tho ground. Two or thrcu weeks be fore potatoes wero ready to bo used this hole was opened and a portion taken out. It was found tho sprouts had not started a.'ain and they were of un excellent qual ity. They wero used in preference to the now potatoes even alter they were ready for the tabte. As soon as hard Irosls are over early varieties of cabbage may be set out, and intermediate cabbage may be planted un til the last of June. Caulillnwer are put out at this time, curly varieties first, ily souiu menus this valuable vegetable has been neglected in this section. Tho general impression is lliat it is harder to raise than cabbage. We have not found it so. hast season we grew thein under all circumstance, even when neglected they made line heads. A Iter quite a heavy frost lust tall wu guthciud lovely white heads from our garden. This vegetable when properly pit pared is a delicacy anil lor piekteing it bus not no equal, l.iii-t ear we planted t o row s of one hundred fool lciu;ils of iiobb-n Mux Beans. The production was surprising. A great many were taken oil' tor table ise. Two bushels were dried. The pods being split in two Iciigth-wisu and boiled ill strong suit water were put near a stove until sufficiently dry lo bo stored away in paper bngs for winter's use. When rnrplully prepared these will be found to form a very appetizing dish. Tomato seed should bp started in boxes in the house nbout tho first of Mnrcli, and when three or four weekii old tra"s plantcd Into pots holding a single plant. When all danger of frost is over set in tho garden, In that part of it too, In which the very richest soil abounds. Always put out twice the number you expect to he required ot these plants afiin this way you will be enabled to have tomatoes for table nso two or threo weeks earlier, as a few specimens of each stock will ripen much earlier than the majority, and on the other hand, one is not compelled to use p.ny but tho very choicest fruits. Celery Is a plant Hint has almost uni versal us". Tho mode of culture Is well known. Tho so-called self blanching eel ry has not given general satisfaction. Corn, squash, turnips, carrots, cuoiim beis and the liko must not bo neglected and the cellars will be well storpd in the fall time with the best a season can afford. Patches ol raspberries black and red strawberries, a few currant anl some goosberry bushes must all bo remem bered. Make your gardens beautiful and yon will like to bo in them.
