N O .l poor tax psyer the benefit of the eight months between the Srst day ot ^ r c h and the presidential elec tion to raise the paltry sam to i>ay his poll tux lu Kovember. I t Was not money they wanted to educate the poor children of the state, bnt what they did w ant and w hat they are now trying to ac complish, is to get rid of the votes of the pcor men of the state by the methods proposed in the amende m ent and like the ghonlish fiend th at feeds on bumaa flesh they wanted to gorge their greedy ven geance on the poor man’s liberty by cutting him oif from the ballot box, because he was not able, by reason of his misfortnne and pov erty, to raise five dollars or w hat ever the aom might be to pay his poll tax eight months before the election. It is all right with those who oonoeived this wicked measnre if the poor laboring m in is forced to take his last dollar to buy bn'.ad for his starving children on the first day of March, if by that means they can only rob the Iwllot box of a freem an's Joy—his right to vot* light monthii therearter. W hat a spectacle to behold in this *‘Laiid of the iiee and the home of the br.i\>,” a poor man—^agrandsou may l;e of a brave, patriotic fore' father, who gacriliced his blood, perhaps his life, at King’s moun tain or Onilford Court House, that he and his deceii<>acts m ight be free, turned aw»y from the tel- iot l)ox, th a t cost the blood of bis patriotic sire to et-taulisli, npon the flimsy pretext that he had not been able to support his starving family and pay a poll tax eight months before! T be bare thought of such an act of cruelty and wrong is eaough to arouse a sentiment of resentment aud sym pathy iu the heart of every liberty loving patriot in all th'o land. If anything <-ould move the “ stsreyed goddess’’ of liberty to au emotioiial impulse of sym pa thy, because of the outrage and wrong i^iflieted upon the oppresserl freeman of earth, this spectacle woiiltl cause her to veil her face t« hide the blush of shame and to c<jaceal the uuwii’i;!g tears of cou- Kitor of the Ga*ette: If I'm dwigaed poor lordling a «»v*.

It is a faithful saying and worthy of all a<%eption, th at “ Every tub ought to stand on its own bot tom ,” and so ought every man answer for his own misdeeds, and if a man oan and will not pay his poll tax, then he ought to s-ififer tor the neglect, bnt, for conscience sake, don’t punish a deserving poor man who cannot pay his poll tax because some undeserving scamp has shirked tha reeponsibili- ty. For the first tim e in the history of n o rth Carolina the last legisla ture advanced the proposition to make poverty in the state a crime, punishable w ith like penalty as the commission of afelony. Think of it ye poor men of N orth Caro lina; men with whom it is a ntrn gle to keep the wolf fix>m the door; think ofw hat you are doing before yon cast yonr vote tor the pro posed amendment, I t may be tbe last vote yon wiU ever cast. It may not only entail, degradation on yourself, but degradation on yonr sous after yon are dead and gone. Think ofthe pos«ible couseqiiences. Remember that if this poll tax pro vision is adopted there is no con tention th at th at portion of the a- mendment is nreonstitutional. and tliat if it is carried your poll tax receipt is the only thing that will keep.yon trom standing up in the same row with the convicted hog thief on tbe day of election, If the Bibel is true and C hris tianity a virtue, then ''t'his nnrich- eoos and iniqnitoas poll tax pro vision of the proposed amendment is an abomination in the sight of God and hum anity. It is a sin because it is an effort to oppress (he poor. Our Lord and Saviour was always enjoining it npon his disciples to remember the poor. “ For ye have the poor with ye al ways, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good.” “ H e that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker, but he th at honoreth Ilim had mercy on the poor.” There is no good intended for the poor ia the attem pted humiliation aud designation to the level of a (jonviv;ied felon as foreshadowed iu the amewlment, while the atteinpt- edoppression is a direct reproach to the Living God. O ur civiliza lion, our obligations to Christianity, our duty to the poor, all demand of us that wo do all in our power, uonaisieut with onr obligations in this Iwhalf, to defeat this iniquit- m aud ungodly attem pt to op preis our ieilow men because of ibeir poverty. “ To your tenls, O Israel!” V .

That species of cru i elty seems to have been overlooke.l by despotic and savage nations as a reservation of oppression for the special benefit of the North Caro lina iegislatnre of 1899 as a new and nnthoiight of torti're to op press the poor. Kotwithstanding the liberty of m ankind was then iu its xwadling and th at the bloody code of Oranco did not deprive the poorest Greek iu all Athens of a single right, n o te, en the right to vote be:»nse of his poverty, such a storm of resistance was raised a gainst Draco’s depotism that it re quired the intervention of a Solon to “ bush the noise and soothe to peace.” If such a storm of opposition was raised by Draco’s despotism by a people who knew little of blessin^^ ol liberty, w hat may be expei-.te:l of (he hundred thousand freemen in N orth Carolina, half ot whom have kcowu notbiugbat Mlierty all th rir lives, w^ile the other half knows the course of slavery, neith er of whom will ever consent to be slaves again or surrender their liberty without a struggle to pre serve it as an inheritance from heir fore& thers. W hy this ccnel and unjust thrust at the liberiies of the poorl Heretofore criminals, men oonvict- ed ot crime—felons were disfran- ahised, not allowed to vote because they had forfeited th at right by tbe commission of a high crime, and this refusal of the ballot wag a punishm ent, bnt now under this crael provision it is proposed to puiiisb the poor w hite man, not bec^qse he has been convicted of a range of reports in each p art of the country and for each crop that may be accepted as probable on th e'r face and not reqnirlDg spedal examination. To get the Umits of probability for this porpoee for each coTinty in the U nited States, that is, the maximum and min)m« urn yield and the m aximan and minimum price which may be ac cepted w ithout verification, is the object of an extensive correspon dence now being carried on by the Agricnltnral Division under the direction of M r. L. G. Power*, Chief Statistician in charge of that division. Three simple schedules have been prepared and printed on different colored paper in order that they may be readily distin guished one from another. One of them covers ordinary garden vege» tables, a second covers fruits, and the third the great ^ p l e field crops. Each anks about'tbe units of measure employed and the net price realized, and the two more im portant schedules, those for sta ple field products and for vegetables ask for the highest and lowest yield of each crop per acre. These schedules are l«iDg m ailed to prominent farmers all over the country and in many instances re turns have already been received. <Vben tbe returns have been re ceived and tabulated, a scheme will be made from them of what is to be accepted as correct in each case and what is to be probed far ther. The only aim of tbe office is to get w hat was really the tnten tion of the farmer in answering tne questions. If tbe presumption is strongly against his meaning what the schedule says, the office will try to le»in by correspondence from the Supervisor, or the Enum erator. or the farmer himself what the real facts were. If the (arming public will con tinue to cooperate with the heart iness already displayed, this effort will result in a more trnstw orthy census of farms than has ever been fctken. Farmers as a class, ai« less able to cooperate than the repre sentatives of any other great indus try. Hence the ' ’en»us Office can do more for thom than it can for centralized lines o.*' business, which, can and do ;nak« their own inves tigation, and it will do its best to present a full and accurate photo graph of this leading oecnpati"u.

On and after that date miners will receive an advance that to gether with the iD :ie.8e sorje months ago amounts to j5 per cent. Laborers in and about the mines will be advauced 20 per cent. This is probably the l a r ^ t ad vance in w a ^ made in any coal field in the U nited States. It is estiniltel tb ifc the 25 per ccnt advance will be suffi cient to p.iy the expenses of a miner with a re-uionable sized family and leave him bis old wages as clear money. In addition to the advance of wages, conditions are also better than ever before, The ability ot railroad company to furnisn cars to meet the demand makes if pos- sibid for every operation to work full time, instead of part of the time as was done several years ago. There is demand for at least 2, 000 more men to woik full tim e at theadvance<l wages and all who come can get work. There are a great many colored men in this field and room for more. They can establish themselves in h-tmes and feel seen I e that there will be no interferance with them in the dis charge of their duties as citizens. They can vote as they please and no shot gun menance exists.— Bluefield Daily Telegraph. _______tljrC«»aMmca4e4l 2.® sSSSI aliuoK InxAlssable' tu Ibe kOiiAAtioM. »nd in WkcsLbir. { TllE BEST FOR PRACTICAL USE.

Oue of the problem* before it is hu .v to pat in tbe ti .ue thus secured in such a way as most to benefit the Census. In tbe A gricultural Division the need of time for prelim inary work is perhaps as great as any where in the Census OiUce. Farm ers, as a cla^s, do not keep their accounts as well m inufactiirers,lanJ the returns from Farm ers may ocuasionally in clude serious errors which a train ed eye will at once detect. Hence tbe farm schedules .nnst be exam.- Ined and such errors corrected be- f.tre the tables can be made op from them with safety. If a farm er reports th at his land sown to wheat was teu acres and the yield four thousand bushels, it is clear th at an aver<ige yield of four hun dred bushels to the acre is incredi ble, aud m ost t>e rejected or cor.< rected i ? accordance w ith the probabilities. Sometimes the trutii can be made out by an ex pert from comparison with entries in other parts of the schedules; sometimes correspondence must be opened to settle the donbt. A ll this ranks under the general head ot verifying the schedules, and the A gricultural Division plans togive all the tim e possible to the work of verifying each of the millions of Cirm schedules. To aooomplish this in time allowed, the work of several cuiidred clerks will be re.-, qnired, aud they m ust have hard aud fast rules to guide them. For example, they m ight be told: W hen the w heat report show a product of over forty bushels to the acre, they are snitncious and must be laid aside for an expert to pass npon.

Bal& cta^oapubl^dm theSoulK MaJ« Tlie Two BlUIon .'^koltar t<lAe Ba« Heen Crossed Both by Our Foreiaru Com* uerco and by the Amount ot Bluaey in Circalation. The United States has reached tbe two billion dollar mark alike as to its foreign commerce and its volume ot moDey in circalation. TbiR is an un pleasant fact for two classefl of theor ists, It is unpleasant for free traders, because the development of our trade with foreign nations up to and beyond tho two billion dollar mark knocks the life out of a cheriehed free trade belief and shows that the free trader was hopelessly, absurdly at fault in his contention that a protective tariflf was fatal to foreign trade expansion. Equally unpleasant, indeed actually distressing, is the fact of a two bill ion dollar volume of money in circula tion to those who have based all their political hopes and ambitions upon the effort to show that “ 16 to 1*’ was the only thing that could make money plenty and cheap. Curiously enough, the facts that make both tho Colbenites and the Bryaaites look silly are the product of a single mouth of the history of the United States under “ McKinley and Prosperity.” O n the 14th of January of this year it was announced by the i Treasury Bureau of Statistics that in the year 1899 our foreign commerce had crossed the two billiou dollar line, on the arst of February the Treasury Bureau of Loans and Cnrrency m ade known the fact that the total money in circulation had also crossed the two billion dollar line, while gold and gold certiOcates alone have crossed the 800 million dollar line. The total foreign coaimerco for the year was $2,074,- 345,242, while the total money in cir culation on February 1 was §2,003,- 149.355. The use of ten figures with which to show the business conditions of the country is indeed becoming surprisingly frequent. T he tales of the December summary of commerce, and finance show, for instance, the total resources of national banks at 475,313,924; the latest report of the Comptroller of the Currency shows Ihe de^jsits iu savings banks to be $2,23a,3«5(>,954; tho total re sources of all banks in tho United States are given by the same report as $5,190,177,381, and the latest number of the Kummary of commerce and finance shows the December clearing house returns of all cities outside of N ew York at §3,012.831,144, aad those of tho city of N ew York at 85,- 348.285,807. T he announcement that thq^money in circulation iu the United States has for the first time crossed the two billion dollar line also calls attention to the fact that the amonnt of money for each individual is greater to day than ever before. The Tseaa- nry Bureau of Loans and Currency publishes each month a statement of the amount of money in circulation, aud by combining with this the actu ary’s estimate of population, presents a monthly statement of the amonnt of money in circulation per cajiita. This statement puts the population on February 1, 1900, at 77,116,000, the money in circulation at $2,003,- 149.355, and tho circulalion per capita at S25.9S. This gives a larger per capita than any carliar month in the history of the country. O n February 1, 18D9, it was $25.42; on Februarj 1. 189S, $23.42, on February 1, 1897, $23.03, aud on February 1, 1896 S22.47. N o period iu our financial histor; has shown a more rapid growth in the amount of money in circulation than that covered by the past thre.^ or four years. The total money in circula tion to day is 33 per cent, greater than at the beginning of the fiscal 1897, and the gold and gold certifi cates in circulation 61 per cent, greater than at that time, the actual iucrease in money in circulation dnring that period being $493,424,- 155, and o! gold and gold certificates $305,886,000, practically two-thirde of the increase, therefore, having been iu gold. The loilowiug table shows the amount of gold and total money in circulation at the beginning of each quarter of the fiscal year, from July 1,1896, to date: ' Gold (coin and CHcUa- Total catea) in money ia Circalation. clrculattcn.Dnte Dollars.

On« • t the M o.l Striking Proof, ot tli. Geueral Pn»p.riiy. From every section of the conntry where there are lumber interests comes tba same story of large buying and of the enjoyment of unusual prosperity by all who are engaged in the lumber business. Thi« state of aifairs is as true ot Florida a s , it is of Maine, as true of Virginia as it is of Michigan. M r. E . A . Laudon, the N e w Tork manager ot the Chicago Lum ber Com pany, is reported to hnva said re cently: I can sum the situation up, es pecially ooucerning largo timber, by saying that it is not a question either of demand or of price. It is only a matter ot being able to supply the material. An official ot the Cam ner L u m b p Company, whioli company bas mills in Florida, Virginia and Micbigan, says: The lumber business is in a very prosperous condition. The mills have all they can handle in every line. The demaud for dressed lumber is very encourafting, and, I think, far ahead of what it has been at this season for a num ber of years. A n d so the story goes. The fact is that there is going to bo a tremendous amount of building done in 1900 in order to provide necessary acoommo- good ro a d s n otes. C/Oauper O ’ BOERS ME AGimiCTITE CUIB SHiff CONFESSl C o-O p eratio n in Ko»d Improvement. N E of the disadvantages un der which our farmers are laboring is poor roads, says Georpte 0 . Borck, of Miohi- ffgn This being a sandy country, there is scarcely a time during any part ot the year that our roads are good. Something like five years ago, about twenty-five formers came to- <»ether and offered to haul marl one day free it the township would allo w them to take the marl from its bed. T he township was willing, and about twenty m en volunteered to shovel and level the marl, and so tlio first halt mile was laid. That road proved snch a success that the next year an other half mile was put down. This marl packed so hard and m ade such excellent bed for gravel that the farm ers donated $225 and labor for about one-quarter mile ot gravel. This be ing put on in what was always a wet place it was spread about eight inches thick. Next year S250 was colloctea and about one-half mile was put down, spreading this only about four inches. This year only $100 was collected, but a quarter-mile-strip was put down, finishing the mile started five years dations tor the tremendous growth of before. Besides this about half business which is still going on un- : ^ mile of marl was put down ready der the stimulating efleets of our pro-: foj. gravel next fall, tective tarifif policy. N o small part of the lumber for whicli there is demand will be worked up into railroad cars. The railroads of the country have been notoriously ineipable, daring the past year, of handling the tremen dous volume ot business for which the Diugley law is responsible. They are making a great effort to bring their equipment up to a point of effi ciency more in accord with the de mands of protection prosperity, and, S3 a result, tho demands for lumber made by them are immense. liistea-l of AXiscliief. A recent dispatch from Lonisviile, K y ., reports that tho jeans clothiug business iu that section is booming. Shipments last month showed a gain ot twenty-five per cent, over those for January, 1899, and manufacturers have more orders for spring shipments than they ever had before. There aro eight or ten jeans mills in the vicinity This method ot making a road is a good one, for it the marl is onao packed down and it gravel is then added the resulting roadbed is as hard as macadam. Next year tho town ship will try to raise S600 for gravel if the farmers will pledge their labor toward getting it down, aud now about a year before it is needed three- fourths of the labor is promised. Tiiis shows what farmers can do if their town is too poer to make good roads. This is the sort of co-opcratiou that p»ys. _ AatainoKlllats Iiitercsleil.

Some valuable aud suggestiffo facts and figures are furnished by the Chi cago Tribune ou the subject of tho cost'of bad roads. It says that M aur ice E . Eldridge, of the Department of Agriculture, who has special charge of the office of Public Koad Inquiries, has been colleciing data as to the cost of hauling farm aud other products over American roads. Tho conclusion which ho draws from the replies to other, as there would have been when Wilson law free trade had closed our factories, put business at a standstill and thrown m en out of work. M en with work to do haven’t time to hang around looking for trouble, and our policy of a protective tariff sees to it that men have work to do— all they want of it. It sees to it in Kentucky as well as in the rest ot tho country. The result is peace and qniet instead of discontent aud mob violence. W o rk instead of mischief is only another way of saying protection instead of free trade. Alclit 8ort of ileciproeily. It is truo that as the chairman of tho W ays and Means Committee and the author of the “ McKinley bill” of 1890, Major McKinley did at that time report aud doubtless favor a “ reci procity” clause, but the reciprocity which he favored iu 1890 was a very different articlo from that incorpora ted in the present law. T he '‘reci procity” of 1890 was a manly notice to all nations that if they did not treat us fairly we would raise the duties on CQi’tain of their products.

Several previous attempts had met with faiiuro, owing to f lackof capCtal. though tho Transvaal Oov- crnment wa? especially anxious to havt the road built, so that It might form ui outlet to tbe sea. Colonel JfcMurdo formed a company ii London, with a capital of $2,599,000, an<J the work was pushed so rapidly that the railway was finished In November, 1838 There was a delay in the arrival ot roUiup stock, but on December 14, 1888, the flrM section of tlie road, flfty-two miles long' from Lorenzo 3Iarques to Komati Poort formally was opoued.On the pretext that the line had not boot completed to the terminus moationed It the concession, which was Ilftoen miles be yond tho end of the road at that time Portugal made a threat to conllscato tli( road aud all the property of tho compauy.Colonel UcUurdo died in London iu ^ay. 1889. His death caused confusion in thi aiTaIrs of tho company, and tho threai m '^debythe Portuguoso Govornmont wai carried out in an arbitrary mauucr In th« following month. Vigorous protests wero made by the company,and Mrs. Catherine Mcilurdo, the Colonel’s widow, askod Secretary Blaine tc intervene in iior behalf. Mr. Blaine tolc Portugal that the conflscation of tho roac would not be tolerated, aud his oxampU was followed by Lord Salisbury in beliall of the English boudholdors. Upon thoic repicsentations Portugal g.avo way, and agreed to submit the case to arbitration. 9PERATED ON THE WRONG EYE. Oculidl*A l^rror IloHulls in a Pretty Oln Uclni; niade Uliiid £*or I.ire.

The illeteraey among the wnites is apialling. W hile there are more illiterate blacks thaiA whites, yon m ust remember th at thousands of exslaves were living a t the tim e the eensns was taken, and most of them were illiterate. W e have no doubt if th a t class of negroes were left ont bnt th at the illiterate whites would ont num ber tbe blacks. These figures also -shows th at the decr#a8e iu illiteracy a- •nong the races is almost twice as much among the blacks as the whites, this liears ont the Kepnb- lican contention, th at if the courts elim inate the 6ih clanse of tne a- nlendment it will disfranchise al most if not qgite as many whites as blacks, and ultim ately it will have th at effcct. The Simmons machine knows w hat it is doing and w hat it wants. The white voters are the ones that wrested the state from Democracy in 1894 and l?9rt Wo will never be convinced that this intolerant machine is not after elim inating the illiterate white voter. Tne record’s evi dence is against them . Do they ro t carry most of tbe conntics where the negro pretlominatesi Take tbe vote of H alifax county which has nearly o*- quite two thonsnntl negri m ajority, ?nd in T83S Democracy swept H alllav by JudBC Bobinsoii. There are a nnm ber of Demo cratic papers as well as Democrats, who take a pleasure in ssiying un kind things abont Bepublican offi cials. This much we have to say. when ever they fail to do their duty, it m atters not whnt their politics, they deser\'e cemtdfe. The Davie Times jum ps ou Judge Bobinson because he tailed to have alarjeny and reeeivii^ cases tried at this term, aud says .that tbe evidence was circimstantial, and that the jury would have convicted, and any twelve men in the court would have dene the same thing. W e do not know how that is. we did ;iot hear the evidence, and haVe no opinion to express, but we prewnie Judge Uobinson knows his business, and acted within -the disc.-etion loiiged in a judicial officer, aud we presume he did what he tkoiight best and right in the eise. The hiw says it is belter that many guilty escape, rather than one innocent man should be punished. This rule is wise and i^S'Hiable. Judge ItobiuSott is humane and liable to err, and all ^ us are likewise constituted. The courts should be upheld instead of censured, unless we art? certain that improper motives are behind their acts. The Judge has soiui peculiarities not to the liking of s line, yet we bleive he is honest and upright and intends to do right. O ther u-.ises were dismissed at the conntys cost, and we m ight criticise otters iu the m atter, bnt will leivc that for others, lor tear we -night censure the wrong party anil Jo the innocent oues injustice. There are few courts held, but H h it some one fails of doing his wh ite duty, bnt we should at all times be charitable, ia onr ccns'ire for i'ear we do some one an injustice. The Kii:<.k>uu will not nphold the wr.ii'g if it knows it. Judges are oft?n deceived aud inlsleiid by ofiSi-ers of the court, and after it ig over the judge gets tbe abuse.

In the meantime if the Porto Eicanstte compelled by C ingress to eliarge a low ta^iSf against P.S at ^ e ir c ^ bouses and we against them for the sake of enough revenue to support Uie government oE the island, what of it? A raving contemporary says that • duty of two cents the poaud on nee will compel the Porto Kioans to pay *389,000 annually. over forty cents for each Porto Bican, and there are five other articles on which tbe increase may be as macu aboot two doUars the year per capita. We rogret that it is anythmg, bat uu- til the Supreme Court says this maoh U illeg il, abuse of Con?res3 for w l^t “ e regaid as a m istake will effect to exports from Porto Bioo on which it is proposed to charge a duty here. The currant uuderstaud- ing has been th at Porto Eieo was not .elliug a dollar's worth of its produjts elsewlie.-e than in th e U nited States, ,n d not m uch here; th a t it once had free trade w ith Spain, and lost th at m arket when th e island was ceded to US B ut the fact is that P oito Kico did not have free trade w ith Spain. Coffee shipped from Porto Eioo to Spain paid a duty ot S5.70 the haa- dred pounds, and as to her other prod- ootf the Spanish tariff wa? relatively as high, or more than twice \fu&i is •uKgested to be im fosed in the U nited States on im ports from th e island. Porto E icaa coffse, in fact, is ia iu y event to he adm itted free into our m arkets. M oreover, of the dnlies col lected in Porto Bico when it was a Spanish province, about forty per eent. went for the support of the Cxov- ernm ent ot Spain; uniler the U nitod States both the revenue from duties on exports froin Porto Bico, coUertod in onr enstom houses, aud the revenue from duties cc.lleotcd on th e island will be expended in the island. Nor ia it true that the m arkets ot Spain have been closed to Porlo Bico Bince the cession. The figures fur nished by oar G jvernm ent to cover the first thirteen months of our occu pancy show that Porto B ican exports to Spain '3989,729 w orth), Italy, France, th e U nited States, G erm any and to other countries am ounted iu value to over six m illions ot doUara yearly, atove the average ot the perio 1 from 1887 to 1391, though somewhat less than the total for the one other year for which tbe figures are avail- a'llo. Besides, general exports to the U nited S u tes from the island arc rap idly increasing. I t is not accurate therefore to state th at th e P orto Binana are standing starving in th e m idst of a m ais oE u a- exportable and uuaalable pro luc:s be cause we do not give th t i free trade w ith this country.

W herever practicable or at all con- venieut to have them so, it will be found th a t fields of a square shape, or nearly so, are th e^ao st economical in fencing, and th e best, for several reasons. I t takes less fence to enclose a given area in th e form of a square than any other shape, and next to the square c o a es th e oblong. By all m eans let tiie corners of fields have right angles, unless there are im por tan t topographical reasons for having them otherw ise. W hen a field is square there need be no short rows iu cultiva'ing it, and th e exact area of the field ia easily caloulatcd by the num ber and distance of the rows. Thus the farm er m ay know to a certainty the quantity of seed and fertilizer he is using to the acre, and how to count the cost of plow ing and cultivat ing any crop. Also th e yield p er acre, if he will weigh and aieasure. A nd if the whole farm is laid off iu squares, there need be no m ore guess w ork as to how m any acres the cultirable land con tains. A farm looks better having square-shaped fields, and roads are placed to better advantage. I t was a wise provision of som e of the States to layoff tbe counties in exact squares, and then divide the land into square sections of 640 acres each. Thus all farm s in those States m ay have the square form , w hether containing the whole section, or only oue-half, one- fourth, or one-eighth thereof. T litn SeedliiST* A corre?pondeut of th e K'ew York Tribune writes that having been in formed by one whom he know to be a good farmer that bo had planted wheat sixteen inches between tho rows and three inches .ipavt in the rows, oiio grain in a place, and had harvested eis:hty-four bushels to the acre, ho planted a plot to \vkeat on Sep tember 22, 18DS, bn hard o U y "oiJ that was manured in the sprinp; and jilauted to strawuerries. The plant ing was six inches apart in the row between the strawberry rows. Two rows bo planted one grain to the hill; one row two grains to the bill. Ho gave the wheat ono cnltivation on Ai)rir21. Tho average num ber of heads to the hill in the rows planted one grain to tbe hill was eighteen large heads. The largeit nnmoer of Leads to a siugle grain was thiity, which gave a yield of 2097 grains. T he row with tbe two grains to the hill gave an average of nineteen heails to the hill. T he greatest yield was thirty-six heads to the hill, which gave a yield of 2035 grain.s— sixty- two less than the one grain hill. The yield was at the rate of 108 bushels to the acre, providing tho planting was twolve by six inches. I planted a small plot to oats on the same kind of soil on April 24, planting six inches apart, one grain to tho hill, and culti vated four times. T h e yield was at the rate of 175 bnshels to tho aero, providing the planting was dcuo twelve b.v six inches.-• H e has raised as many as forty-live iavge heads from a single grain, when planted six by six inches apart one gi-ain in a hill, and in 1837 be had two hills of rye, one of which yielded 126 heads and tbe other 127 heads, each grown from a single grain. T h e plants have more room for their roots and are abun dantly and constantly fed at such dis tances while in close seeding they have periods of etarvation. T lie S eed li:i? A pple, Among apple grow ers a sbarp con troversy has been carried on for years as to w hether it is better to im prove o ar list of available varieties by im porting from foreign countries or de veloping new seedling apples. D is- couragom ents arefo n n d o n both sides. A very large proportion of the apples brought from foreign tsountries have proved of no value after having been fruited in this country for a dozen years, w hile of th e seedling a thou- Band varieties have proved not w orth th e grow ing to every one th a t has proved good onongh to be propagated by graftings. r Bnt, however discouraging the pro duction of seedlings m ay be, it is trne that all the progress that has been m ade in apples, taking tbe world as a whole, is through seedlings. W e must not forget that every good apple we have now was one of a multitude of seedlings. It is, ot course, reoognijed tiiat the work of producing new varie ties in this w ay is very, very slow. T he m an that plante 10,000 seeds must handle and care for 10,090 trees. H e m ust not only take them out ot the seedling rows and transplant them in to ground with more space, but, he niiiHt sometimes replant them._ Bc- Bides that he must give them fair »t- tention «ndjoaU iv«tioo. must bo kept fertile and the faees must be sprayed. T h e borers must be kept off and the canker worms mast be prevented from Btripping the liees ot their foliage. T he grower m ay have to wait ten years for results, as it IS a known fact that a valuable va riety might be late in coming into bear ing. After years of waiting for fruit he m ay find that not one of the 10,000 trees is snperior in anything to fruit now being grown. Such must be the experience of those that labor for the production of new and valuable varieties. T h e man that begins the work knows that the chances are that he will never reap the benefit of his toil, for even it he should develop a fine variety, years must elapse before he will be able to get anything from it. H a realizes that he will have to cut thousands of scions from that good tree and graft other trees, and that he must then wait a few years more till they are fit to place on the market, W h e n all that is accomplished, he still has the question of advertising to face, and this means expenditure of labor and cash. Bat, hard as the way ia, it is the surest way to get new fruits. Insiead of one man planting 10,000 seeds, a good many m en should each plant a few seeds, and thus dis tribute the burden over m any shoul ders.— Farm , Field au<Z Fireside. Poultry and Experience. Probably there is altogether too m uch dependence upon the advice of others in the poultry business for some to succeed, and while it is wise to read of all the experiences of those who have succeeded and failed, each one must hoe his own row. If we cannot profit by our own expeiicnce, it is useless to expect success with poultry. Others m ay guide us, bnt we have got to learn our lesson and m ake its application. D epen d upon your own exertions, observation and intelligence, and then supplement this with the advice of those who have anything to say. That is the only true motto. I should say in regard to breeds that each one must not at tempt to confine himself to one sim ply upon the advice ot others. Select some of the half dozen most appro priate breeds, and try your hand at e-ich. Then you will gradually find out what ones you like the best and can m ake the most from. Bnt it is in the matter of feeding that this advice of depending upon yourself and studying your surround ings is the most applicable. There are, of course, certain standard feeds for chickens, snch as corn, meal, and grain generally, which everyone must possess to a certain extent, but out side of this, cheap but effective sub stitutes must be found. Clam and oyster shells are all ristht for feeding to poultry that ia raised along the sea- coast, but for a thousand miles inland it would hardly pay to go into the market and buy these shells. T he price would more than eat np the profits obtained through their use. But there m ay be green bone, lime stone, pebbles and rocks that could be broken up fine, and the poultry wonid obtain nearly as good results from them. Those living near forests would find in the soil and leaves u n der the trees just tho kind of dirt and food that chickens would enjoy. Proximity to large creameries en ables some to utilize the skimmilk on a large scale, while others would not be able to do this without paying too ranch for it. Small breeders on tho outskirts of large cities can make con tracts to receive the garbage and ref use daily, which would more than feed the poultry. At the same time it would give such a varied diet that lit- t'e else would beneeded. Evcnsmall ,nwns and villages have enough such refuse'to atipro'-t several large poultry farms. It is more a matter of study-; ing and m aking tho most of snirouhd- ing conditions and opportunities than- of buying and raising feed. Ot oourae. crops must be raised syste‘naticall.V; for food, but the by-products ot the| farm, the house and the city and for-; est miist be utilized to their utmost.! — Anuie O.

They look their longest Suring their wiring, th at m odern proc- (Bs which enabled us to reduce the bulk of tho gun so much th at the podgy Woolwich infants have developed Into graceful boys. Ih ere Is gomethlng startling in finding a gun being treated like a bat-handle, the only difference Delng that instead of waxed thread rou wind on a thin flat strip of steel having a breaking strain of 100 tons 10 the square Inch, and wind this on fn several layers Instead of ono. The run revolves in a lathe as the cricket- bat does, but nmch more slowly, and ta place of the woodem spool of thread there stands, at right angles to it, a huge iron reel, from which the riband or wire, as It Is called, which Is about a quarter of an inch wide. Is wound on aplrally at high tension, the spirals being knocked up tight to each other with a punch whenever they fail to winil on closely together. The gun Is thus wrapped w ith literally miles of wire mostly in the region of the pow der ehamber. Over the w ire jacket come the hoops of cast steel cut out cf ingots as disks, and forged into rings just a trlQe sm aller than the fln> ger they are lo fit; and when these ere finished they are one by one, for there aro many of them , heated just enough lo expand them, and slipped over the gun to shrink and grip It as they cool, the gun being upright at tho tim e, w ith a stream of w ater flowing through its bore to keep the tem pera ture down. In this way w iring Is all hidden, and the gun looks as though H were built up entirely of these mas sive hoops, as it used to be.

The industries of the world are being rebOilt and enlarg ed. The United States already lead. Their productive Jsipacity exceeds that of Great Britain and Germany combined. Their foun dation of natural wealth far ex ceeds that of all Europe combined. Their surplus lor export within the next ten or fifteen years will ex ceed that of all Europe. That part of the United States in which the lowest cost of production has been reached in coal, iron and cot ton LS the South. The list can be extended until it ejibraces nejirly all the great staples of commerce, llow long can it be, therefore, with demand crowding production before the rich fields of the south in any and all lines will b^in to be tak«,n up in earnest. The sit- natiou warrants the unqnalitied ah- sertion that in the next twode<!a(les the growth of wealth per capita will l>e greater in the Southern States than elsewhere in the world, and that it wi’.l be lar ahead of any previous r<«ord of history.” Yes the Republican parly policy if carried out, will result in making the South grand aud great as a manufacturiug center- The pros pects are bright, and are getting brighter and we should support ithpt party which will contintie these conditions. The building of the Xicantgua canal aud the hold ing of the island 1 ceded us by Spiiin are important questions. Vote the Republican ticket, aud you will aid in making our country greater and more prosperous. aid in restoringp^ce an d 'o rd er in our territory. T«e South And Bxpansiou.

The above is an extract from the State Democratic platform-adopted at Kaleigh a few days ago. Now is it not consistency per«onified? The Republican psii'ty is against making citizens of tb ( Portoricans until they l>ecome fi'; ed for the ex ercise of such citizenship. Yet we find our Dcmotniitic friends favor ing that which they have deaouuc- ed the Republicans tor yfars, they say it was a ci-ime against the South to have enfranchised the negro and iiuike a citizen ot him, they al.sopr(>pose to dissfi~anchise a large number of *«orih Carolinas citizens both whiteand black, they propose at the August election to impose taxation without reprervn. tation on a large number of >onu Caruliniaus, yet denounce the Re publican party tor leg'slating as it Ijelicves best for these people of Porto Rico.The Democratic party in Xorth Carolina are in favor of making citizens of these Porto Rica negroes, yet they propose to take away these same rights from the North Carolina negro, and a great number of its white citizens, Its a very iiiconsistent position but you can always find inconsistency among the Southern Democratic leaders. They fight everything advanced by the opposition, and they have fought themselves out of power. Again they say they are in favor of peaceful-exinnuon. The Bepublicans did not desire a fight in the Philippines, but it is their duty to put down this insurrection of the nativM who are in arms a- gainst the United States. And the Democratic stiitesmen are do ing more than all others to encour age resistance to the U n it^ States than any one else save Agninaldo.

If they n^der ‘ the fiag and eonstitnticn then 01^ Democratic friends But as the markets of continen tal Kurope will become more and more necessary to the productions of the continental 1 ations, the Americivn farmer aud manufactur er must look across the Pacific Ocean for the demands which are to bring them iremnneratiou for their productions; and if the popu lation of the earth l>e estimateti at 1,500,000,000 there will be found more than half of this number bo. - dering on the Pacific area, the lar ger proportion living on the Asiat ic continent, and whose wants have never come within the pale of Western civilization. It is then to the Asiatic markets that the farmer and manufacturer of the United States should look for that demand for the protluctions ot their fields and looms which will save the home markets from stagnation; aud as strategical posi-, tlons are as necessary tc the promo tion of commerce as to successful war, the policy of the government which aims to acquire and hold such positions merits the support of all .\m eritan citizens irrespect ive of party affiliations. And viewing the subject from the place (Shanghai) where I am writing, 1 believe that the course of events will prove that the South, of all sections of the Union, will be bene- lited most by the ac<iuisition of Hawaii aud tne Philippine Islands aud that with the completion of the Nicaragua Canal all doubts wili lie removed. The relations of these islands to the commerce of Asia grow in con viction when closely studied, and next to the possession of a post on the mainland of the Asiatic Conti nent, the ownership of Hawaii and the Philippines will be advan tageous on tradal lines. But let the reader have figures in evidence, that w^hen the Ameri can government plants its flag at Hawaii aud the Philippines, it is moving in the direction of marketjs with immeasurable demands, and that every Kt^p is towards grea,t moral aud physical influences and :omme:'ciul profits. Unle-ss, therefore, the United States should forego the commer cial advantages, and the opportmn- ities to utilize them by a vigorous policy, with refrerence to the trade of the Pacific Ocean and Asia, the acquisition of the Sandwich and the Philippine Islands have not been made one day too soon. The rivalry lietween Great Britain aud tne United States, it is hoped, will continue to be a friendly rivalry, but it will never theless be a rl'i ai ry, and American statesmanship ougnt not to n^ lect whatever may be necessary to place their country on the groands of full vantage. An exami nation of the list of products exported from the united States to Asiatic markets shows that every section of the union is interested iu those markets, and that the south has nosuch an open ing for its cotton and cotton goods elsewhere iu the world.—T. R. Jernigan in Char lotte Observer. The above Extracts from a letter by Mr. Jernigan a JTorth Carolin- ian, a Democrat, whowaa consul under Mr. Clevelands administra tion to China. W e regret that we cannot give, more of his letter for its brim full of statistics and in formation which shows the impor tance of the trade in the Orient, especially to the South, W hat we do give you, shows that the posi tion taken by Mr. Bryan with ref rerence to expansion is against the best interest of the entire country and the South especially. 4.nd Mr. Bryaus.position is endorsed by most of the Democratic congress men and Senators frpm the South.

W e notice that Judge Purnell has had to write a letter denying a state-naat m ila by Ex- Lieutenant Gov. Daugton at Sparta sometime siuce iu a joint discuss ion with Senator Pritchard.

Do your own thinking and dont be mhilead. Your liberties are at stake. Washington all because for the most of the time the Republican party was iu power. And also in order to keep themselves in good fat jobs, regardless of thfe best in terest of the people. The Demo cratic party in Congress voted for the war with Spain, and after our brave soldiers had gained a great victory, and Spanish power had been crashed and under the terms of a t reaty of peace we had come in pos.session of Porto Rico and the Philippines, what do we find! A great number of the Democratic Statesmen, discrediting their own government and by their words and acts, lending aid and comfort to the enemies of this government Mr. Jernigan shows that it is im portant aud necessary to hold these Islands on account of their impor tance as a trade center, that Con tinental Europe is reaching out lor the trade of this vast field, and that the United States was not a day too soon in making the acqui sition. We are there my frieads and are there to stay, and the great American people are going to endorse the Eepublicau policy of expansiou, aud future genera tions are going to rise up and bless the Republican party for the good it has doae for this great country of onre.

Qaackenbos, emeri- tns professor of rhetoric in Columbia, are engaged in the pianniug and con struction of a scenic road, 500 miles long, mostly in N ew Hampshire. A society is being formed, of which Fto- fessor Qnackonbos will be President, sod as soon as a company has been iu- oorporated stock will be issned. Others who are working for the road ate Colonel John H a y , Federal Secre tary of State; Colonel Haskell, of Newton, and General Crnfts, of Beth lehem. The Governors of Ilassacba- setts, Connecticut and Vermont have expressed their friendliness toward the project as a benefit to the whole N e w England monntain country. “ T he scenic road,” said Professor Qnackenbos, “ will be an outgrowth of the general movement for good roads in that section. The roads are uo worse than those in any other monnt- ainons region iu this coantrT, and some of them are away above the aver age; but it is notorious tnatfow Am er ican roads, judged, say, by European standards, comport with our develop ment in other directions.

This figure may be exceeded or reduced, according to the oxtent to which we deem it expedient and consistent to avail ourselves of roadways already laid. W e shall prob ably avoid existing thoroughfares more often than might be imagined, far of- tener than ordinary road-makers would consider necessary. Boads are nsualJy bnilt nearly in a straight line, but our road will be aoiqne in that itwiil have no reference to commercial convenience or economy of time. It will wind in and out of woods and fields, np and down hills and slopes, skirting lakes and crossing streams, and past historic spots.” **Automobilists using it cau carry with them provisions, golf-clubs, lish- ing-rods, shot-guns, and what not without impairing the mobility which they share in almost equal measure with the wheelmen. To them the long, scenic road will offer attractions not to be found elsewhere. It is in tended mainly for automobiles, bi cycles and horses. A N ew Yoricer, with liis family, could set out in his automobile to spend his vacation alon, the scenic road. H e would proceed to N e w Eochelle, Stamford aud Bridgeport, through the Berkshire Hills and the Hoosac Mountains, to Bennington, Yt., thence througha gap in the Green Mountains, to Brattle- boro, and on to Eeene, N .H ., tapping the scenic road there. “ The road will start from Boston, and proceed diagonally to the Con necticut Kiver, thence up the Con necticut Valley, with a wide curve aronnd the eastern beach of Lake Snnapee, on up almost to the head waters of the Connecticut, back again past the foot of Mounts Washington and Adams, and through the rest of the White Mountains, along the right shore of Lake Winnipiseogee, across to the sea, through Portsmonth and Gloucester, and so on back to Boston. Thus, the tourist will traverse mount ains, forests, lakes, rivers, seashore and settlements.” UNTIRING ENEMY. P enlitent A ttack, by Free Timderi Cpon tbe Pollci of PiotecUon. According to the Boston Herald, a paper which ought to know, the N ew England Free Trade League has had its series of articles o h ' “ Trusts and the TariflT* published in more than 130 newspapers in different parts of the conntey. T he activity of the Free Trade League m thus diaseminating its views of the evils of tbe protective system ought to carry a -warning to those careless optimists who believe that free trade is a dead issue and thac the present prosperity of the country is a sufficient argument with which t« carry the country again tor protection at the next election. It is this very carelessness and optimism on which the free traders are count ing for the possibility of such another victory as they won in the prosperous days of 1892. Their devotion to the propagation of their fallacious doc trine is worthy of a better cause. Their vigilance is eternal, and vigilauca must be met with vigilance. Protec tionist publications, protectionist sup porters, must be on the watch against being lured into any dangerous feel- ing of secarity. For tbem to believe that the protective tariff policy is now the settled policy of the couutry an.l that it needs no farther gnarding is what the free traders would prefer to see beyond all things. It is not by any means strange that that rabid free trado orgau, the N ew York Times, pretended n short time einoe to believe that the American Pro tective Tariflf Leagae had ontlived its usefulness. If the Times and its free trade sympathizers could see the dis bandment of all organizations which have for their object the guarding of onr protective tariff polroy, and which dis?emiaate the facta showiug the tre- meadous benefits which that policy bestows upon tho country, it woald be a jubilee day to them. T h e con tinued existence of the American Pro tective Tariff League and of other similar organizations is not, as the Times professed to regard it, nud as it described it editorially, the “ lag sa- perfluons,” but is tho “ lag*' trouble- Bome to the nefarious designs of those who would see the principles of Cob- den triumphant in this country and the American workman reduced to tho miserable ooudition of the x>&uper la* borers of Europe. There is need for ceaseless watch fulness on the part of protectionists if they would see our present tariff pol icy maiulained and our present iudii^.* trial prosperity continued. There ii as much need for the open and active anpport of the protective policy, for the dissemination of protectionist lit erature and for the support of protec tionist publications and protectionist organizations as there ever was in the darkest days of free trade. The free traders were never more active. A corresponding activity is demanded of protectionists. LOWERED ISON PEICES. d ir e c t e f f e c t o f t h e r e pu b l ic a n PROTECTIVE POLICY. Tbe Fly on the >vtkeei. Benefits of State Aid* Through State aid there have been built in N e w Jersey about 150 miles of hardroads. Counties, boroughs, lovtn- ships aud other municipalities have oonstructed as many more. Each year since 1895, when the State began to aid in this matter, tho miles of road improved have increased, and the out look, according to the recent annual report of Henry I. Budd, the Commis sioner of Public Boads, is for a steadily - widening interest. Iu 1895 the con struction was forty-six miles, in 189G fifty miles, in 1897 seventy, iu 1898 eighty-five, aud iu 1839 about 116, while the total additional mileage peti tioned for is 505. For the year ended in October last the cost per mile was somewhat larger than in the previous year, because of the higher price of labor and stone, and delays in trans portation due to the shortage in cars. The inciease in the State appropria tion from $100,000 to .S150,000 ena bled some of the more enterprising of the counties to build as m any miles as the limit of law— one-fourth of one per rent, tax on their retables— would alloj^ and this iu m any cases {has brought to the point where continu ous hard roads over comparatively long distances are available. Thus there is a continuous line from Newark to Lake Hopatcong, several from M or ris County to the Oraujes, and one between Cam den aud Trenton; while approved applications provide for con- tinnous lines from N e w Brunswick and Trenton to L o n g Branch, and an improved highway all the way from N e w Brunswick to Trenton, and thence to Jersey City. Am ong the recom mendations made by the Com mis sioner, an important oue is for legis lation to regulate the width of tires. It passes his comprehension that the State, after expending at least ;S4,000,- 000 in improved roads, should not guard them against destruction by in dilTerent owners of freight-vehicles. Assembly bill No. 215 at Trenton pro poses a rebate in taxes to users of wide tires. Amerloan Enropoan Road!), In spite of the pride of the Ameri can people in the development of our eities, and notwithstanding the fact that their wealth enables them to have only the best, they have been slow to •n>reciate the v ^u e of thoroughly ,wall-paved streets.

In spite of the war in tho Philip pines the national income is exceeding the national expenditures, and we are fast coming face to face with another oldtime problem— viz., what to do with the surplus. W e have had that problem to meet before, when the country has been under a protective tariff regime. In fact, that was tlie question moat frequently asked during the Presidential campaign of 18S8, M a i O ’Bell, then, as now, on a visit to this country, exclaimed apropos of this national problem: “ Happy the country whose only difficulty is in knowing what to do with its surplus. * H e would not have had any occasion to envy us a low years later, say in 1893 or 1894, Cleveland, with his free trade policy, soon relieved us of any difiBculty iu knowing what to do„ with the surplus. In fact, he very soon relieved us of any surplus at all and furnished us with a deficit. But with the banishment of free trade the deficit disappeared and our national income has once mors beguu to exceed the national outgo, and it looks as though the old problem might oome back. There are no signs, how ever, that the people of the country* ate doing any worrying over the pros pect. They appear rather to agree with M a x O ’Bell, that the count>'y whose chief difficulty is found in hand ling its surplus cash is not in a very bad way. The people of tho counlry know what it is these days to have surplus in their own pockets, and they find it very agreeable. The alarming fnerease of juvenile criminals in Germ any is puzzling th.' legislators. In 1S85 the juvenile of fenders numbered 30,704, the total ris ing to 4.5.504 in 1894, and to 47,973 in MS.

T h e free trade papers are finding in the revelations of the Frick-Oarnepe controversy evidence of the evils growing out of the policy of protec tion. This diseovery is based upon the assumption that the prices of iron have ruled higher in the United States in recent years than elsewhere in the world. A s a matter of fact, this is not the case. Iron was never cheap in the commercial world— that is, cheap compared with present prices, until, behind the wall of protection the great iron industries of the United States were built up upon the assur ance of having the advantage in tho American market. It was the posi- tive control of the best iron market in. the world that led to the wonderful, development of the industry. T h e Pennsvlvania operators, the T h o m sons, the Joneses, the Carnegies an others, not only secured abundani capital, but they called to their aid scores of new processes which wonder-, fully cheapened the cost of produc-. tion. W h e n the protective duty wasj pat upon Bessemer steel rails a^ few; years after the war such rails soldi for over $1C0 a ton, the E n g lish makers controling the market. W ith the production in this conntryi the price began to fall until, during the few years prior to the late advance, the price averaged less than $25 a' ton, it being sometimes higher and; sometimes lower than iu England. In, 1854, when Great Britain m ade all of; our iron, pig iron sold in N e w York, for $36.88 and bar iron for *91.3i5 a' ton. In 1898, when tbe iron pro ducers of the United States were making the prices of iron for Europe, pig sold at $11.66 a ton and bar at 829.31. During the past few years prior to the recent advance pig iron and bar iron have been as cheap here: as in Europe. In fact, it has been declared by European newspapers^ that America was making the world’s prices for iron. The point we would^ emphasize is that the world’s pricej for iron began to decline with the great development of the iudnstryiu this country, aud in Germ any inci dent to its protective tariff. T o reach the present control, and when, with unheard-of combinations, great for tunes can be m ade by small profits; on vast outputs, m uch money has been sunk in iron ventures. Only a few years ago the free-trade papers were apparently gratified at the bank- ruptoy of what was then one of the largest iron industries in the country. T he failure was then pointed out as one of the inevitable results of the overstimulation of protection. ~ ^he involved corporation pulled through and is now prosperous. There is one point that is worth while to mention, because the free trade paper deals only in generalities and assumptions. That point is the duty on pig iron at the present time. Judging from the free trade paper one would thiuk that it ia 100 per ceut. rather than S4 per ton. A s a specific duty it would have prevented the im» portation of pig iron when the price of pig iron warrants was $7.87i in N e w York, as was the case January 1, 1899, hut in October, when the price of the same warrants was $18 per ton, the duty of S4 per ton could have been paid on the lower price and then af forded a profit of $6 per ton. At the present price the duty on pig iron is less than 22f per cent, ad valorem, but to read the free trade paper, which; scorns statistics, oue would imaginei that the tax was 100 per ceut. It isj doubtless true that the vast iron in* dustriea which have arisen iu this couu- tay have been encouraged by the pro-, tective tarift', but at the same time it can be claimed by force of tho facts concerning the prices and uses of iron that tbis policy has given the world cheap iron aud made it the country’s great material of construction.— In- diannpolia (Ind.) Journal. Anollier Indastry* During the past year flax to the value of about $10,000,000 was raised iu North Dakota. A largo fias mill has also been built at Fargo. The flax industry is another of the indus tries designated “ sham industries” by the free traders. A n industry which represents a product for one year of $10,000,000 is a pretty lusty “ sham .” If all, or even any, of the shams of the free traders had as much sound reality as that about them, thero might be some reason for treating the doctriuo of free trade with some slight respect. Such a reality as that would indeed be a bonanza to them, to bolster up their empty theories. T he flax industry ia not yet such a lusty “ sham” as that other so-called “ sham” industry of the free traders— viz., the tin plato industry; and $10,- 000,000 is only a fractional part of tho value of the yearly product of our tin plate mills, but it is making a very good beginning an d will undoubtedly in time be as uupleasaut a subject of discussiou. to the free tradei as the tin plate industry and the iron and steel industry now are. The “ sham” industries, so-called, brought into being by onr in-otective tariff policy, have a way, undoubtedly very u n pleasant to our free trade friends, of becoming important factors in onr in^ dustrial progress as a nation.

Fattcnini; Cattle. A fat steer of 1000 pounds weight is said to have in it 500 pounds of water, about twenty-five pounds of uitrogen, eighteen pounds of phosphoric acid and two pounds of potash. To buy this nitrogen to raturu to the soil would cost about $8.50, and the phosphoric acid would cost about S I. In selling such au animal raised ou the farm and farm products about S|ll.50 worth of fertilizing material is taken.

I find no preen food that m y fowls eat more eagerly tban celery" \vben finely chopped. For this I use the waste stems and leaves tbat are re* jected when the celery is prepared for market. M y chopper Is one of the small compact affairs^ w<)rked by tnvu- ing a crank. I have used it for year?, without a cent of outlay for repair or any resharpening of the knife. Prefer cooked meat, raw cabbage and beet. W ife makes a very hgreeable condi ment from the greeu portion of celery stalks by chopping them fine and then dropping them for a couple of minutes into boiling vinegar. This vinegar and celery we find a very appetizing ac- compauiment for our meat aud fish dinuer.— J. J. H . Gregory, iu Mirror aud Farmer. contains. This hen was getting bone meal, but it did not seem to give her the amount of lime she craved. This ben was not killed, hut the whole flock was given a little more o£ the food they were supposed to lack, and the trouble disappeared. T h e writer has seen several flocks with the egg- eating habit, but has never seen a flock that Was not cured without the loss of a bird. It m ay be that some flocks get the habit so badly that they have to be eigtouted, but, but such extreme cases are not common. If, after being fed properly for a short time, they still persist iu eating eggs, have the nests arranged so that the eggs cannot be easily seen and it is doubtful if the trouble will last long. Feed so there will bo no soft-shelled eggs and the probability is that there will be no egg eaters in the flock.— Farm , Field ant? Fireside. • W aste Groand in Fields. Fences cost heavily, aud so econ omy of fenciugis a desideratum. Now , w hen a field is once fenced it should be all clear laud aud every inch of it cultivated. If there are open ditches, wet pouds, deep ravines, brush cor ners, stumps, logs, etc., that take up any part of tbe area of the field, it is jast so m uch taken from cultivation, and more fencing has been used to enclose the area actually tilled than ia necessary, or should have* been used, provided there were no waste land enclosed. To say nothing about the looks of a field, or the time taken iu turning the plows M d going around the obstacles — nothing of the iiiconvenieuce every way in having such obsfructious ou ground enclosed for the plow, it were infinitely better to remove all such impediments as speedily as possible. Taxation aud interest are the same for a miry bog as for the best arable piece ou the farm of the same area. A u d to save the cost of fencing ground that is not utilized, steps traveled arouud the obstructions aud other considerations, the farmer should strive to make arable and pro ductive every foot of laud enclosed by fence. M e n d and reclaim all bad sx)ots, remove stamps and stones, and every other obstruction to the plow, that it might go right on from side to side of the field, without having to turn or go around something. It is such economics as this tbat tells for something in the long run. Maklnir Stuiio CulverU.

L.Sm« to Prevent Gapct. T he best preventive of gapes is to plow or spade the ground intended for young chicks as soon as the frost, is gone, and then scatter air-slaoked lime liberally over the surface. Gapes generally come from the soil, aud as lime destroys any e.ggs or other sources of gape-worms, tbe chicks will escape. Salt m ay also be added in small quantities. L im e is cheap, and it ia better to use it on the groiind than to work trying to save the chicks and loose a large number. The ground should be limed as early as possible. L im e is also a preventive of roup. T o get rid of filth is to avoid disease in the flocks, for when disease appears the germs are re tained in the ground. For that rea son every location occupied by poul try should be occasionally spaded or plowed. W h e n performing such work, first scatter air-slaoked lime over the surface, and turn under the top soil, following by another applica tion of lime on the surface. The lime causes a chemical action in the soil which qaiokly destroys the filth by changing its composition. £zperim ents WItli Touiatocs. T he average results of four esperi- meuts in N e w Jersey show that as a fertilizer for tomatoes (1) nitrite of soda is superior to both barnyard m a nure and mineral fertilizers alone; (2) nitrite of soda alone is on the whole bnt slightly less effective than the complete m anure; (3) w hen small quantities of nitrite are used, the sec ond application is advantageous; aud (4) large quantities (320 pounds per acre) of nitrite are more effective than small quantities (160 pounds per acre); and permit of the following practical suggestions in reference to fertilizing: (1) W here land has been heavily fer tilized or m anured for the previous crop, apply evenly over the-row from 200 to 300 pounds of nitrite of soda per acre,- one-half at time of setting the plants aud the remainder from thi'ce to four weeks later; (2) where the land is light aud has uot been heavily m anured, apply broadcast and harrow into the soil before setting the plants, 500 ponnds per acre of a m ix ture m ade up of two parts of bone- black and Buperphospbate and one part of muriate of potash, and from 150 to 250 pounds ot nitrate of soda in the same manner as suggested above. J le n s lU a t K a t Kr c s. H eu s that eat eggs are considered beyond the pale of reform, and the usual advjce is to send them to the block. It is to be doubted if real ponltrymen are ever troubled with this habit, for it is most certainly the out come ot unnatural conditions. A hen does not eat eggs unless she feels the need of some stimulant in the w a y jf a food that she crave.s. A hen rightly fed does not have this unnatural crat ing, and i£ a flock gets to eating eggs the first thing to be done is tff give them a different kind of f ^ d or a greater variety of feed. T o illushate, a short time ago the writer found one of his hens eating eggs. Q n watch ing her one day he saw her lay a soft shelled egg and turn around and cat it with the ^eatost of avidity.

Early^spring spraying is necessary to control most forms of fungous dis eases acd for a few insects like the bud moth, leaf folder aud Sau Jose scale, irhe loss resulting from the attacks'of such fungi as apple S3ab, bitter jot, spot disease of the cherry, downy; and powdery mildew of the grape ^ud a host of other diseases amounts to millions of dollars every year. ■ T h e most com mon fungicides are bfrdeaux mixture, copper sulphate and tie ammouiacal solution of copper carbaiate. Copper sulphate should uevej be used after the buds have startid, but always w hen the trees are coriiut. Dissolve oue pound iu fifte^ gallons of water and spray for the ®ple scab, cherry and plum rot, peaiTeaf spot and antbracuose of berry busbBs. For peach trees, dilute to tweay-five gallons. Tie bordeaux misture is coming to be uied more generally each year. It, is bet m ade by dissolving six pound: of (bpper sulphate iu six gallons ofj watjr and then diluting to twenty-fiv^ gall us. In another vessel slake slowl, fouJ pounds of freslv*i{Wie lime an diliie to twenty-five gallons, pourin^ thelwo mixtures together when wanted to pray. For all grapo troubles aud forall fungous diseases after the buds hajp started this preparation is best.

W h ere the apple scab is bu, m ake the first treatment with ctper sulphate. Before the flowers ofen, spray' with bordeaux mixture a|d 'i)aris green and again as soon as uo flowers drop. Give one or two uore applications at intervals of two f three weeks. Spraying for San Jose scale is still an experimental stage, but several ears’ experiments have shown that it !an be controlled with a twenty per nt. mixture of kerosene and water, his should always be put on during sunshiny day to aUow the kerosene 0 evaporate quickly, otherwise - the ►lant m ay bo injured.
