At a meeting of the Farmers' institiie held at Diion, 111., lately, the "Decline of Agricultural Prosperity' beleg tinder discussion, Mr. L. D. Whitney, of T.skilwa, said : "Agriculture la suffering a blight, and amorg the causes is the protectlTe-Uriff syetem, which gives bounties to certain elaeees at the expense of others, the bur den retting finally moBtly on pro-incur . Rational Uits have grown Jace loöu aio e than fiTe-folJ. Now $100,fXK),000 anuual.t , and more, can be dropped from this vat t snm. This should be a boon to the taxridden people; but strange doctrines are preached from high sources. Instead of cheaper sugars, lumber, clothing, and ether necessaries of life, relief Is to b of" fered In cheap whisky and tobacco! This ludicrous proposition proves to be made in earnest, and unless vigorously opposed it may succeed. Minufacturers do cot wish to pinder to evil, but they seek to find some excuse and necessity to keep the high tariff Intact throughout. The present high protective tarifi had a patriotic beginning. The great demands of the treasury in the late war led to imposing direct taxes on the goods of our own manufacturers. Simultaneously the present high tarifi was imposed as a compensation. After the close of the war the direct taxes on manufactures were repealed, but the manufacturers were fortunate enough to retain the war tariff. This gives the treasury more money than is needed. The lowering of national taxes should be a blessing. The removal of the extra war tariff is a natural sequence, and would greatly relieve con sumers. Bat the original doctrine of protection to infant industries is now to be superseded. Perpetual protection, and the higher the better, is the new dogma. The iron and steel interests are the centre of a vast tariff confederacy seeking the indorsement of the country to this doctrine. Its effect upon agriculture is already seen in the statistics now given. I will here give one more, bringing the fact nearer home. "Before the enactment of the present high tariff the stats of Illinois was fast gaining upon Massachusetts In wealth; aa may be supposed from natural causes. Eisce the war tariff enactment the case is reversed. In 180 the per capita wealth of HaBftchusetts was $'XJ2. That of minors was,C9. InlSSO Massachusetts had increased her per capita to f 1 5U3, while Illinois had reached but $1,005, vynL'e Illinois, with her great natural alvantages, had not even doubled, Massachusetts, with her sterile soil and rocks, advanced 150 per cent. Massachusetts claims that Illinois shall pay for ht r goods a price sufficiently high to makenp the difference of wages between this country and Europe. Let me inquire who is to pay to Illinois farmers the difference between farm wages here and farm wages in the Old World? If we should grant the claims of Massachusetts to help her'pay laborers 20 per cent, tarifi will amply cover the case, as that is about the amount that las cost of labor bears to the price of the manufactured goods. The other 20 or more per cent, exacted by the present tariff H perhaps to furnish tha money they sen-1 west and Invest on mortgages en our farms." Frnit for tbe Family. Many persons who own small looser large farms, says the Cwntry ovnm,i, appreciate in some measure tne vain and luxury of fine fruit, and plant tress or make ant all plantings of small fruits but -without any estimate of the quanMtlts required for a regular family supply. They occasionally have a good least, but more frequently have to go without. Not oaly should a continued succession be provided, con listing of varieties and kinds wairh ripen is the different months, bet a sufficient quantity for daily use. Beginnlag -with tb earliest ripening fruits, the strawberries, the planting should be large enough to feed all the members of the family with what they want. We may , suppose there are six in the family, and that each one wlllj use half a pint daily on the table (we have known some who would dispose of more than a quart); this would be more than ten quarts a week, or about two bushels during the strawberry season, If roeceealTe ricecers are planted. An equal quantity should be provided for, to meet accidental deficisncies, or accidents, and as much more for copious feeders. Under the best culture, eight bushels will require thirteen square rods, yielding athe rate of 100 bushels an acre a larger plantation than many devote to this excellent and wholesome fruit. Similar estimates may be made with raspberries, grapes, peart and apples. There is nothing better for feeding family and maintaining its health than an ample supply of frnit, both fresh and cooked, and owners should be willing to make free provision. Nothing .Shows snort strongly the efficiency of fruit

in maintaining health than the fact that emigrants to newly settled countries get rid of most of their sickness ai soon as their fruit plantings begin to bear. Preventing; II or; Cholera. The live- stock commissioners of Nebraska have investigated hundreds of cases of bog cholera, and state that if farmers and swine-breeders should apply such rules as are herein suggested they would be able to reduce their losses to a minimum and cope successfully with the diaa: If there should be an oatbrcak, separate all healthy from the diseased hogs as Boon as poasibla. The healthy bogs should be removed to a new ard un'nfec el pasture o pan, ani be carefully watched by an att- ndant. 8hould any that have been thouut to be well bec rne weak, or appear to be sick, atling or off their feed, take them out and kill thect. All diseased hogs should De killed and cremated as soon as possible. If the boa be bealihy it is ad visible never to allow new hegs to intermingle with them in the berd uotil alter having theai sur-jected to a strct quarantine of cot less ihan seven weeks Seither is it adyisible to allow any one to go into hog-pecs after returning from an Infected place without first changing bis boots. There should be but one attendant to look after sick animals, who during euch service should not be allowed to leave the place. Hogs should never be watered from a stream if it Bhould run from where the disease is known to exist.

Dcgs or other animals belonging to infected farms should cot be allowed to roam about at will where hogs are kept, as they carry tte infection with them. If these mUs are carefully observed there need be little fesr of heg cholera causing any ssnoas loss or spreading to any alarming extent. Karl vegetables. A small plot of ground, with sniUble hot-bed and cold frames, can, sas Tne Pti'adf phia J.YW, be made to yield qui e a supply of green food in winter or early .epriDg. WTbilethe fall is the proper time lor preparation, yet early spring, or even in midwinter, vegetables may be advance 1 for growth, o; advanced in growth so as t j permit of being transplanted totheopea ground as soon es the weather will permit. The seeds of tomatoes, cabbtge and eggplants may be sown now. Egg-plants are very tender and the slightest cold will kill them. Trie potato beetle is very fond of them and will destroy them very quickly when in the open ground. Lettuce is a very hardy piant and will thrive in a coM frame. Even tte couth Bide of a sheltered place in the open air will allow them to grow and tbrive. One of the best and bardiestof winter vegetables is spinach. It 13 really a winter piant, and if grown now it sLoull be box a thickly and in a cold freme, as the 111 is the proper time to put in tfce seed. It requires but a vry slight covering, and fmzlo? does it rjai little, if aDy. damage; bu: it should b' growD oi a ilr location. It mny b cat throughout the wüole winter it tnesaiw should not prevent. A harJy and qt'efcgrowing green vegetable is mustard It may be nown very earl, and germinates in about a week if ib ground be somewhat warm. It is v?ry trtder when cut Tonne, ard can be groa with cut very little labor Kale is a smoo'.h Uli! er vegetable htu cooked, and aio fit T"t a m attoht f prtcf Tr mnsif ISa Je?. a CtJg'if asvetfe A V stutot W V i sidered that in order to rst tender vege tables they should be grava quickly, aud not allowed to approach the Beeding stage; hence it is often me case tbat hot-Dlj r anterior to cold frames. Tre lettuca for irs'acce may be grown every month in the yetr, tut it grows slow y in verr old weather, or only holds what it has secureJ. and becomes more or less tough, t j a cer tain ezteBt, bnt when prowa by forcing in the bot beds and used when only larg enough lor tbat purpose it Is very crisp and tender. Radishes are easily grown, ana are ready for the table in a snort time after the seed bas gone in, but unles a radish be tender it will be of no service; hence tbe proper way to produce them of tae qnality desiiedisto force them. As a rule early cabbage is not grown to a lae siza, and very hxm heads should not be expected, as it requires time to grow large and firm heads, and where earlmess is desired some points must be sacrificed. The potatoonion is one of the early kinds, and, though cot es desirable as the well-known market sorts, is one of the earliest and best for the table in epring. Of peas the earliest are the dwarf kinds, but they are not equal ia quality to some of the later varieties. A Farmer's Voice. Mr. F. M. Hamsker, a prominent farmer of Odessa, Jewell county, Kansas, and a life-long republican, thus addresses the farmers of the West through the columns Of the Farmer t Voice: "I have been voting for twentv-eight years, and voting with the republican party, but as this is the first time in my life that I have bad a chance tri vote for my interest I shall certainly avail myself of the opportunity. Fellow-farmers, let no party lah deter ns from voting for our interests. Talk with the majority of our Western editors. O, yes, they will say, 4lt is time the protection duties were reduced., But cot one word do they dare to ntter galtst their masters political masters and yet the Western editors' support coms directly from the farmers. Let us let our political leaders know that this protective soptittry isn't bread and butter for us. J, as a farmer, grow or raise beef, pork, wheat, rye, barley, potatoes, onions, radishes, beets, peas and beans, of which we farmers always have a surplus, thrown 01 to the foreign markets, cot protected, and when I want to purchase the staples of life I find tbat I have to buy under a protective law. I have a few plain, simple facts that I give when called upon by my fellow farm eis to address a meeting, from the fac. that I know that farmers, as a rule, don't go into a detail of their business. I take my hog, for instance, and see how often it bas to bear its share of the protective tariff: 1. Wagon. 2. Harness. 3. Lumber in pen. 4. Nails. 5. Well punon. 6. Plow to raLe corn. 7. Cultivator. 8. Eixrcw. 9. Hoe. 10. Bpade. 11. EhoveL Now I have raited my corn and fatted my hog and hauled it to shipping point, drive him on a pair of 12. Scales. 13. Car it is shipped in. 14. Bteel rails that cars run on. 15. Locomotive. 16. Coal to make steam. 17. Tools that slaughter it at Armour's. 18. Salt to pack it. Id. Barrels to pack it In. Now, 1 take my hog money and where can I go in this country and buy the necessaries of my own production that are cot sold to cs American farmers under a protective system? Nowhere. Farmers and laborers of America, we hate been protected too long now already, aa our mortgaged farms and high taxes testify. Let ns not heed the party lash, but walk up like Intelligent men and vote for the man that will represent out interests. Luera or Alfalfa. Rural New Yorker.l Lucern is known by several name, as alfalfa, Chilian elover, Spanish trefoil, purple medic It ia botantcally known as Medlcago sativa, a leguminous plant nearly allied to common clover. It has been well known for thousands of years in older countries, but is of late years attracting much attention in America. "It is a child of the sun," aays Prof. Beal, now our first authority on such plants. It prefers a rich, sandy loam. It does not usually thrive on a compact clay subsoil. While Tic it is somewhat weak In its growth

and a poor fighter. It requires at least two

years to become well rooted, it should oe sown in the spring -vithout any other croD on well prepared land. If the land i to be ploughed every three or four years don't sow alfalfa. It in a perennial, and may be relied upon to produce good crops for many years in succession. It is a graat dry. weather plant, and its roots go far down, but just bow far on an average no one knows. They have been found to extend from ten 10 tarentv feet below the surface. It must be mown just as it begins to bloom or the st-ms will become woody and o( far less vs'uc. About twenty pounds of seed are required to the acre. It is cured precisely tee same as clover, though requiring more room in the lield, as it soon spoils if raised upon. We hear of cases wh.-e the field has betn cut three times, averaging two tons to the cutting. Such yields are exceptional. Its frediDg value is thought to be somewhat greater than that of red clover, and its fertilizing value is probably as gicat. Penfowii, Ohio Farmer. I There was an lnqniry some timeao about peafowl?, and caving some exorience in raising them, I thought I would give it for the benefit of any who might be interested. The peafowl is a beautiful as well as a peculiar fowl. The hers lay when they are two years old and oever lay over eight fggp, mostly four or five. The egs are white and a little larger than a turkey's egg. Sbelajs about the lat.of May or fcrBtof Jcrie. and always makes her cest in some srclnded spot, sometimes miles away from borne, but will come back when she has hatched her young. If anything hanren to tbe first laying she will lay ecfcin. Fome arivie-e Jetting them go all BUinnerand they will raise the young tten!elvts, but I have fcrnnd out that it is bf6t to ten the hen for three or four days, while tre little peöcicks are weak, and feed thtm, and continue it, if I wiah to rctke sire cf eueres.?. Wim the males are two vears old they get a 'crub" tail, which has to be pulled out ab-ut the lr, of June; after that he will htve a full tail every year. Tne pea fowl rrakes a more tootnsome morsal when roasted than any other domestic fowl. They ceed shelter in severely cold weather. Farm Account?, I Rural World. We are cot staticg the case too Etrosgly when we say that not one in a thousand of our iarn.ers keep auytbmg lire a complete set cf I dim account. Not one of that cumber can tell what it costs to put a buscel c f wheat, corn or oa's on the mar ket, cr tow rooch earn tby pnt ioto the csttie or togs they cell (ud1?ss tbey have to buy all tte food), exactly how mu:h crair or bay is grown on bis firm, how much milk or butter is prodnce;!, znrnh It 3 how much shccM b credited to each cow owtied, and 10 on throueh tae entire list of farm products. Without & doubt many a C?ld o' corn in ourereat corn statt s a gio.vu at alo, mauy a fat steer or hoc is sold for less than tbej cost, and how many a caw in good t?aiiy t erds dues not give milk enoua or of good eront-h qntli'y t- pay for hr keep. Thtse facts are admitted by farmers as altogether prooable, yet taey take 110 stpF to charge this ur.scucd pjli y, but pursue the even leuor ot their way and complain that men in otter lines of besiness are getting rich, while they are ue-ttiiv puor. Dies ouyoue tbink that a merchant, a manufacturer, or a raiirord would !ode keep from being9old out by the ehenfl" if his business was beirg cb fun eft a .'oonly as is tbat ol tfie average irrm? 1: is nonercse to make Us stereotyped excute, "I have no time." ""if a man has time to row a crop of wheat at a loss, he can find time to find how much tbe loss is in dollars and ccts, snd n fj moments contemplation of these figures will do more to save him from further waste of time in the future than anything else can. When ccmpe'itlon in all the walks of life is compelling tne adoption of exact, careful and economic methods the farmer cannot expect to be tuccessful under hap hazard, slipshod measures. He must make better use of the mental and physical forces; must appropriate to bis use m business, as co otner men, Information developed in c in ia uajr auu gcuriauuu, uiusk uavo aim I use scales and measures, and must verify 1 by figures all that he does. Yes. let us have some of the figures from your books bat f all may see what can be done in this direc tion. Household Hints. Cold Fish. Cold boiled, baked or broiled fish may be used for croquettes, cutlets, a la creme or salad. In fact, there are so many ways for redressing fish and meats that one hesitates in selecting a few. Pain de Fromage "Wyvern" says: "This is mold of 'cheese cream.' Make half a pint of rich custard, season it with salt and a little Napaul pepper; whip it well, stir in three ounces of grated Parmesan or Grugere and half an ounce of dissolyed gelatine. Set the mixture in a plain moid in a cold place, or in summer upon ice, and while sitting stir in a coffee cupful of whipped cream. Turn out the mold, garnish with sprigs of parsley, and serve cold. Puree of Pheasant a la Reine. Wash and clean thoroughly an oid hen pheasant; stew for one hour in three pints of white stock. Take out the pheasant and remove all the white meat from it, which pound in a mortar wiih two ounces cf butter, and rub through a wire and then a hair sieve with some of tbe stock. Return the carcass of the pheasant to the stock and add to it two white carrots, a stick of celery, a turnip, two onions, all sliced, an ounce of salt, and let it stew for two hours. 8 train and beat the vegetables through a hairseive, omitting the turnips and carrots, add the puree of meat and vegetables to the stock, incorporating it by degrees; add one pint of good cream, a teaspoonful of sugar and a little salt and cayenne to taste. 8evcr with fried croutons. Turkish Sausages Procure the thorougly cleansed small intestines of a sheep, prepared as usual for sausages. Mince a sufficient quantity of raw mutton, and to this add, whilst mixing, one teacaptul of the best Patna rice, well washed and drained; salt, pepper and cinnamon to taste, and sufficient fresh milk, or water, to convert the whole into a workable paste. Stuff the Intestine skin, as usual for sausages, prick them with a needle, and throw into a potful ot boilirg water, sufficiently salted previously. Wnen partially cooked remove to a trencher, and twist round and rontd after the fashion of a twist d roll. When quite cold, fry to a nice color In very hot fresh butter, and serve. What remains from the repast thus prepared may be advantageously cut into thin slices, dipped in beaten-up egg, bread crumbed, and fried in butter, or this mode of treatment may be followed in the first instance. Fish Cutlets Put a half plat milk in a double-boiler to heat. Rub together one large tableipoonful of butter and three even tablespoon fuls of flour; add this to the boiling milk; stir until smooth and thick; add the yolk of an egg and a pint of cold cooked fish ; mix as lightly as possible : add a quarter teaspoonful of nntmeg, a half teaspoonful of onion juice, salt and pepper to taste; mix and turn out to cooU When cold form into cutlets: dip first in beaten egg and then in bread crumbs, and fry in smoking hot fat. Put fancy paper in the small end to represent the cutlet bone. A Choice Pigeon Pie. After the bird has been thoroughly washed inside and out. and;dried, fill it wiih a highly seasoned and, very savory veal force-meat. Rub the outBlde with a compound of pepper, ground allspice, one pounded clove and about the same weight of cinnamon, nutmeg and grated lemon peeL Put into the stew-pan one teacupful of lemon juice, one of orange juice, four or five sprigs of parsley and the same of sweat marjoram and thyme, Lst

this commence to boll; then put in the

bird and allow it to stew very slowly for nearly an hour. Keep the pan closed nearly the whole'time, and send to the table as soon as possible, garnished with slices of lemon and red currant jelly or pieces of cold aspic Pound Cake. Beat one pound of butter to a cream, add gradually one pound of powdered sugar, beating all the wbile. Beat ten eg without separating, until very light; add them gradually to the butter and sugar, and beat the whole vigorously. Add gradually one pound of stirred flour, a quarter teaspoon fui of mace, twi tablesroonfuls cf rose-water and a teaspoonful of vanilla; beat well. Lice a round cake-pan with buttered ptper, pur in the cake, and bake in a moderate uvea one and a quarter hours. Salmon Crumbs. Under this name a diBh prepared in the following manner is much in use and greatly esteemed in tb north of Ireland: A quantity of cold boiled salmon is divided into small f ragiutn'3 and mixed with bread crumbs, an eg or two well whisked butter, salt, pepper and a little vinegor; after which it 14 put in a pudding-dish and baked in an oven. The proportion of the ingredients is cot very de unite, but is variously regulated, according to taste. Vinegar js often used along with it when it is eaten. Live Stock Note. Sheep must have a dry location at night. Dampness is fatal to sheep, being the cause of distemper, while wet pasture fields conduce to foot-rot. Cary Culyer of Colorado, aays: "A Shropshire ewe ought to earn from $7 to $10 a year." He Bays "they beat his cows all to death, and outdo his Percheron mare 100 per cent." There are probably few men who have fed sheep for fifteen or twenty years who can say cay that they in every case found them profitable, says the UooZ Ji. urncl, and yet more men could probably say this cf sheep than could aay it of either hogs or cattle. An Iowa men writes to theA8f iuis Journal of Agriculture asfollOJFS. I had 100 sheep a year ago. They were ted on hay and straw, no grain. One was drowned ia tbe Bpricg; sold $100 worth of wool; raised fifty lambs; one died when two months old; thirty-eight bad lambs; oneof the old slu ep died, sold $110 worth of sheep; sir were killed by dogs, and have 103 sheep in the flock now better sheep than I had last year." Prof. E. W. Stewart, who is noted for bis experiments in stock-feeding, Btatcs tbat ote ounce, or less, of oil-meal to a ga)lOB of warm, sweet water, will make it nfarly equal in fcediüg value to whota milk fcr raising a calf tu three weeks old. and after that another quarter of an ounc D38 j be safely added. The oil meal should be dissolved in hot whey before mixing with that of the right temperature of feed. It is just ts important far horses to breen for ictellgeccd as It is with the humut; race. A dumb, stupid colt can never b educated to be a valuable horse. Within intelligence It will always be sluggish, anrf will never have an attachment for its master, nor manifest a disposition to obey nnc serve him as a pleasure. Most intelligent horses are naturally docile, or can b easily trained to be kind, reliable and evet. affectionate. A Farm and Card h correspondent writes: "1 wish all horsemen knew the value o' sur flower 8eris. It is Dot only one of th beEt remedies for the heaves, but i horse cn De entirely cured by givint half a piut twice a day for a while in thfeed. I took an otherwise valuable horse last fall which wab eo stiff that yoa coait' hardly g6t it out if its stall, and in two weeks you would cot know that anything was the matter with it, and it has been all right ever Bicce." There can he no possible objection to feeding straw, but care should ba taken t dtrive as large an amount of benefit a -possible. It must be fed in such a way that a good gain can be Becured with the steck. Wintering stock to keen it alive is one thing; wintering so that a good steady growth will be made another; in the one straw can be made to answer; in the other Bcmething else is necessary. In the one there is co profit; with the other a very fine profit may be secured. An old Kentucky breeder of swine places salt first in importance as a preventive of cholera, and believes that salt, of all substances, is the best promoter of digestion as well aa an antidote against worms. This breeder has adopted tbe plan of saltiDg all his animals in watertight troughs, keeping a supply of salt on hand continually. He also feeds some charcoal with the salt to swine that are closely penned, and gives ashes occasion ally under all conditions. jKT-- . r At a meeting of the Tunbridge ivveiid ( E c gl an d ) Farm era' club. Mr. T. Xi. Weifear, whomaoaees a beard of eighty cows, stated in a paper on dairy farming, that in its purity the Jersey cow was a somewhat delicate animal, and when out of profit would yield little for grazing purposes. He said the short-horn Jersey, the Sussex Jersey or the Kerry Jersey was, however, nearly, if not quite, equal to most pure-bred Jersey s in milk yielding, and a much more hardy and serviceable animal for general purpose s.gTSl V. Al. (Jiay says, in uoiman s Jiurai orul, that there are two leading races of sneep in the United States the Southdown ani the Merino. The first is especially a mut ton sheep, the last a wool-bearing sheep For wool the Southdown is inferior but little to tbe Merino, and its fie ce is fit for tbe finest cloths, being only less in quantity than that to a given weight of carcass; while the Southdown is the best mutton in the world, and has the most meat on the beBt points. Farm Items. Rolled peas and beans if fed warm so much tbe better make excellent winter egg-food. It Is more profitable to keep a few bees in roomy quarters than many in close, small rooms. lIThere is co danger of growing too much frait of good quality, but it is an easy matter to overstock the market with an inferior article. Stagnant water on tbe farm Is the hotbed of disease, and annually will cause ten times tbe loss equal to an amount appro priated for draining it off. A New York bee-keeper has 2,709 colonies of bees. Such a large number can only be maintained in sections where bees' pasturage is plentiful and by experienced beekeeper?. Not only does warm water promote the flow of milk In winter, bnt by heating tha poultry house the number of eggs may be increased and the amount of food required lessened. Warmth is food. Look over the peas and beans for weevils. Placing the seed ia a vessel of water for a few hours, adding a teaspoonful of blue vitriol to each gallon of water, would he an advantage. The seed should be carefully picked over. A correspondent of the Forme' Magazin states that the application of a mixture of one part coal-tax and the same of woodtar to tha sides and bottoms of water troughs will greatly assist in preventing any treuble with sheep. Winter seals np the gases and destroys foul odors, but as the spring opens tha necessity for some kind of absorbent in the stalls becomes more Important. The health of the animals depends upon the cleanliness of the stalls. A very narrow perch makes it necessary to bear the weight on the breast-bone, mainly in one spot, and thus It becomes bent on one side. This deformity is caused in many instances, by roosting on the chime of a barrel or in the small limbs

of trees. Old fowls have their bones hardened bo that tbey will stand the pressure without bending, but all should have wide perches. When the udder of a cow becomes hard a prolonged bathing of the ndder with warm water is the best remedy. Use the water freely and rub the ndder duriLg tha application; then wipe It dry. It should be repeated daily until relief be given. Proprietors of first-class hotels and restaurants state tbat there la more difficulty in obtaining superior mutton than any other kind ot tceat, poultry or game. If this be true it should be a hint to farmers In all sections of the country. If a hen should lay two eges a week she would more than pay for her food and use

of the quarters. All over that number should be profit. Four eezs a week, how ever, would give double the profit derived from three eggs in the same time. Do not get tbe bees out of the cellar too soon, or the cold snap may overtake them. On clear warm days they will come out and clean the hive, but care must be used to cot have the hive in a warm location until dacger of storms shall have passed. By tvicg a small corn-cob to one leg, allowing it to dangle at a distance of about six Inches, a Maine poultry fancier is said to succeed in keeping her chickens at home. "The fowl can scratch and get about with ease, but will not attempt to ily over palirgs or equefz9 through a crack." The garden should be made as fine as possible. If large the harrow should be used ana the ground rone over a aozen times If necessary. After this let the rake be used. Too much work can not be given to the preparation of the garden. Not a Blcgle clod or lump should be alio wed on it. Rotation of crops baffles, in a measure, the root enemies, both insect and fungus. that prey upon them. Each plant has its own peculiar enemies, and changing of plants removes them to fields unoccupied by such enemies. This is true to the enemies of the above ground growth of plants to an important degree. Tbe JVite En'tland Flom-tr Farmer says: "A flock of youne mammoth bronze turk eys often average twelve and a half pounds each, while forty-pound torus are to be met with by ail successful breeders, and in a three-year-old form they sometimes reach the enormous weight of fifty pounds each. A cress of pure-bred torn with com' mon hen turkeys will increase the young BtocE from mree to six pounds eacn." The best soil for the strawberry is a deep, rtrnne' tram, with an imrervinna. hard.

Plttirurg Post. I Mrs. Z. A. Wall&'ce. of Indibca, lectured last night at Temperacce hall on "Woman Suffrage " Mis. Wallace, previous to tue meetiag, consented to an interview wiih a Post reporter. She said: "I am an earnest aivc cat e of the doctrine that women shoild vote, because I believe that the home will never be properly protected until women have just as much say-so in making the laws as men. This is called a republican form of government, one in wnich the people rule, yet one-half, and more than one-half of the people, have nothing to say about how we shall be governed. Women have just as much right to vote as men, and until they do this government will be unrepublican. We have been going to Washington for tha pist forty years asking for the right of suffrage. We are met by the argument that congress can't grant the voting franchise to women, because there Is too much franchise already. What does this last remark mean? It indicates that we are fast drifting toward a monarchial form of government The congressman who says there is too much franchiserat present means in so many words that the poor and ignorant Bhould not vote. This is entirely wrong. The poor and honest citizen has more right to Bay what the law shall be and who shall govern him than the rich man, because yon will find tbat dollars and cents are always able to take care of themselves, be the rulerBwho they may. "License laws, such as the Brooks bill, I do cot believe in. Nor do I believe in any law except absolute prohibition. Tne saloon-keeper is not going to pay $500 for a license with the Intention of keeping a partially closed house. He Is going ta sell every drop of Honor possible and to everybody that has 'the price. The BO-called high-toned saloon is even worso tnau the doggervj became nice young men will enter the former, attracted by the costly mirrors and gilded fixtures. The low saloon has been patronized in days gone by by the slaves of drink. They are rapidly cearicg the end of their career, and eince they must have the drink or die they will get it in any kind of a rum hole, let it be high or low. We women, in our battle for home, when a law of this kind is inforce, have to battle against the appetite of the drinker, tbe avarice of the rumseller and the ambitiinof tha politician. If there were no license law then our fight against rum would be cor-oaratively easy. The liquor dealers unite : j saying that to pass a law giving women '.e right to vote would be the worst blow their traffic could receive. They laugh at the laws made to restrict tbe sale aud manufacture of rum. They know tbat the laws will not be properly enforced by men. They know that tbe officers of the law can be bribed and influenced in many ways. They know tbat there are many ways to prevent the Carrying out of the provisions of the law. "Had women a right to vote even on this liquor question matters would be different. There are very lew mothers, when they discover that whisky is injuring their homes, but what would take a hand to suppress its aale, provided they could do so at the polls. I dou't care even if the mother Is deprsved, she doesn't want her children to be led into the same evil ways in which she traveled, and cocssquently she will use her ballot against rum-selling. The voice of the people is cot represented in any of our legislative halls to-day. It is the voice of the ring politicians, and the interest ot whisky men, which has a representation in those places. The republican party, with all Its croaking about the home and fireside, and God aud religion, is not a whit better than the demo cratio party. It is votes they are after,' and tbe ring bosses are nothing more than the allies of the rum traffic disguised in the garb of pious hypocrisy. There are a great many foolish people who think tbe republicans are the great advocates of tbe temperance cause in this state, and that the democrats are all on the other side. That is a big mistake, and it is certainly strange how sensible people can be so easily gulled by politicians. lama suffragist first, a prohibitionist next, but a democrat or republican under present conditions, never. "The International convention, which meets In Washington on March 23, will be composed of women from all parts of the

We want to ascertain it there is not some latent power that will enable us to have a voice in the affairs of the government of which we are part. Susan B Anthony, Gail Hamilton. Frances Willard, Mrs. Frank Leslie and scores of other noted women Will be present. "My talk about suffrage may seem as if we wanted to hold offices and do the work of men. Now, this is a great mistake. We do 'not want any privilege of tht kind. We merely want a voice in the laws which are made to protect our homes. As a protector of homes and children, the present s!ate laws are a failure, not only here but elsewhere. What we want is to vote for laws which will lighten the burdens of women by abolishing rum and making husbands sober laws that will keep the young boy out of harm's way. and the association of the bar-room aud make him a joy to his mother's heart instead of a blight on her life. We want to vote eo that we can use our inflaence with men to be good, lovioe, honest and true to themselves and their homes. We desire co obnoxious laws, but only such as our devotion to our nusbands and sons dictates. This city is not now ruled by laws worthy a repuolic, but by the police. This is brute force. What is it that demands so many police? The saloon. Do away with the latter, then kindness aud philan trophy will rule." PLAIN TALK TO MR. SELLERS. His Course In the Tal ly-Sheet Cases Very Hard to Explain. Itvansville Courier. The conduct of District-Attorney Sellers is difficult to explain upon any other theory than that he conceives his duty to be to prosecute democratic violators of law only. Not only has Gen. Carnahan not been prosecuted, but Mr. Sellers, in his speech in the Coy case, apologized for Carnahan, if, indeed, he did not express belief in bis innocence. Yet Carcahan Bhould have been tried first. It was his "circular" advising republican inspectors to do an unlawful act that led Sim Coy to violate the law. Justice, not less than fair play, demanded the arraignment and pleading of Cam than to the indictment found against him, iirst of all, for he was the first offender. Mr. Sellers' conduct has not been of the kind that commends him to the respect of fair-minded people, because on its face it has been, from the first that either of a toady or a coward, accordiog as his motives have been deterrnined by a desire for republican app!e.u?e or fear of republican censure. Manifestly, be has not considered it at all important to consult with democrats of character who are as rtlentlssa i 3 their condemnation of demorrstlc malet to. 8 as Mr. Seller?, or his rcpa ji'Ciu adv fiers and counsellors can rusiiojy ba. ard who go farthir tm iher in defending the par ty of tbe ballot loi, for they demai d the punishment of republican as wt-ii as democratic evildoers.'
