The costliest element of commercial fertilizers is citrogen. More millions of dollars have been epent by the farmers for this component J art of fertilizer than lor all others coctinrd. The nitrates are seeded to sive rapid crowth to the young slants. Notwithstanding this vast expenditure of nioney a little consideration Df the analysis of American agricultural products shows that the foods io produce 'or man and beast are sadly deficient in be elements of which nitrogen is baied. This element, which is now usually desiijlated as protein, ia the '.muscle-forniiDU jart of that which both we and our Ftock :onbume. It is, liite the nitrogen it Conpin, the rare and costly element in stock rations, and would be in our own, were t not for the fnct that all Americans hink that they are able to roako paiatatlsness the desideratum, regard. esj of er cent, of nourishment. Corn is. pre-eminently, an Amoriran product, and it i this grain that has done nuch to unbalance the stock ration of our :o!intry. It is deficient in protein, and the 3er cent, of carbohydrates and fat, both of hieb element pve fat and heal to the tnimal, is exct-c-ive. The practical farmer e not dependent upon analysis for the tnowlede of th e truth. The hor-seman le-nrin power for draft or speed has earned that corn is not the b st (;raiii for principal n-e in the btable. The breeders )f swiue tind that corn is poor for the clere'.opnicn; of pitis. It lacks protein or litrogen. Oats, bran, oil meal and most Sy-products are richer in protein. It is a remarkable fact that the earae rarities of frames nnd grains t'nat wo produce nre unn-ti richer in protein as crown Oy farmers in l'.urope. Not only id the average per cent, of protein in the fdock Nations of Europe? far higher on account jf their limited corn production, but their bay and grain ueua lv is mure nutritions that is, contain more irctein.

Our iverai: h not h:i:h, m statistics and observation prove cuui iusvo y.

In this direction only io fair profits lie. If commercial fertilizer would pay when applied in Fullicient quantities to produce n maximum yield of nutritious foods on half our fur.ns th-re would be required for fiich n; plications a thousand !'jld more than could be furnished. In in any sections, probably in most nectiona, Iber brim e.if returns onlv when pecuringa stand of crmd. Any way it is idle ta look, to cotr.ii'iri'iul fertilization for anv such balancing of the plant food of our mils, and nu ll increase cf the yields us the individual farmer if now striving for to make firm accounts balance. While we are needing n. trogen, tho air ia full of iu The only diiüculty in the way is that most plants, according to our present knowledge, cannot render this ni.rogen available for plant iooJ cannot feed upon iL Nitrogen they must have. Kven in those soils tu which we have recommended an application of potash only ai an experiment, nitrogen ia a prime necessity. The point made was that the loil may be less del'cient in nitrogen than In potash, and it mijrht not pay at the present low prices of farm products for luch fields, when there arj cheaper lourcea than the prepared nitrates. We now know thatc;over can pet the nitrogen from tho air. It feeds directly apon it through it roots. It can store up In the soil in one year many dollars' worth Df nitrates. Toe roots are "full of them as well as the tops. The hay fed to atock makes the manure rich in "the nitrat, tnd such inanuro can produce grains rich in protein. Tho iar.oor must study to rntrap the nitrogen in the air, store it in ;ood producta, thus adding to the worth of oung stuck, of the n anure and of his and. This means larger crops and larger profits, because less competition with the producers of fat of every kind. the Whfnt Outlook. Dry winds in Marcki and April often do as much damage to wheat fields as frost baa done during the winter. If frost has heared the plants and loosened the roots, the winda rob them of the moi-ture necessary for getting a Dew hold. Soaie section report injury to wheat, but it is yet too early to make any predictions. Our country ia so broad and the spring wheat seedlog is so important a factor that one can make no satisfactory guess about the bareot.

Notwithstanding all that lias been written aaintU the "ueaily" barb-wire fence, aa Homo cab it, more of it than any other kind is seen throughout the country. One point in its favor ia its cneapnees. It is the least costly f- nce that can be constructed. This fact leads many to use barb-wire when they wou:d prefer other mati-ria!. Many report serious injuries to stock, and this leads to tho criticisms mado by Us o;'. ouunt-. These injuries are usually di:-j to torno careiesi e.-9 or lack of judgement on the part of the farmer. Horses can be taiu'ht to i-.hun a wire fence. Put if this is 1 oi doue, and they are unused to i'., there is always serious damror. If they ire taken into tho field and led up to the fence on every bide they learn to notice and to fear it. One strand of woven wire an inch or two wide should bo at or near the top to enable horses to see tho fence, and vuth theeo precautions there is s:iia l danger of injury. When colts are raised within such enciosures they rarely yet bndly iujured. Teach the horse wnt-re the fence is, and that it will hurt them, and make one j t-trand virit;!o for eome distance, and the ' danger of injury will be coiuparUively Blight. Sei-il I'otatoes.

This it a matter of import.". uce to all potato-grower, especially after this hard winter. lloisiKK. It is our aim to give nothing but facts in this department. We cannot be'p it if some one reckless enough to advise a reader to plant chilled seed potatoes. It is probable that ho has never tried them in f.ct his answer indicates so much. Thero is too much gues-work in this world, and people are after definite facts. We know by many years' experience that nothing is more enil injured than cecd potatoes. A temperature several degrees below the tree in ioint will not cause potatoes to get soft, but it injures the tender eyes. Wo ue care to keep temperature above thirtv-Bir degreee, ns tho tender eye is very sucept:bia. Wherever the eating cjuabty of n potato bus been injured by the bursting of the minute starch cells, yon know the tender eye is injured. Last year we planted a largs quantitr of eeed from the North, in which there were a few potatoes frozen in s' ipping. They were caretully culled out, and thtfre was no time to jret other heed. Of course, many were only chilled and could not be detected. The result was that about onesixth of the hilis were weak and ppindling, and our loss was correspondingly heavy. In this wav we hope to make this department a aife guard tor others. We will bo pleased to hbar from those of our readers who have had experienco with chilled potatoes. Let us have the facta.

"Wa'do Urown, the veteran farm writer, ays: "Tho bean crop is often quite profitable, sometimes largely so.

A piece of poer land can be rapidly improved by growing beans and wheat in rotation, sowiug clover with the wheat and ploughing it down the latter part of May, so that the land will get settled and the clover partly decomposed by the time the beans should bd sown.

The senate refused to entertain the proposition and the house passed a resolution indorsing tho action of the cooimisiion, Indiana's Silent Victors. It mny be said, in addition, that the character of the memorial is fully shown in the inscription above its portal To Indiana's Silent Victors." This means all. It gives a broader interpretation to loyalty than if it were restricted to one war, however great and patriotic that war may have be on; and we are inspired by it to pledge our lives anew to our country in every crisis, and to uphold, always, its ling! This is loyalty. It is fur this that the monument stands. The loyalty of Indiana has been eu,Uttl to every emergency; it hae covered all epoehs; it has not beea bound by party line, and regard for tha future forbids us to begin the ellort to restrict it now. It is well to retnembrr that during the progress of the work every posit le recog nttien and courtesy bus been eitended to tbe Urand Army of the llepublie. It wee asked to conduottte ceremony of laying the corner-stone, one of the niOMt me morsble events in the history of thn state, and it performed that duly in a manner that rdlecteu great honor upon the department. It has been fully consult.!, and at r.o time ha there been any other disposition on the part of the monument oowiuission than to act in harmony with iL liut r.ow, long mtsr the publia announeement of it- purpose to recognize upon theshaft all the wars in which Indiana line partieipatod in as a state, and after that purpose has become, an accomplished fact, an adverse movement is begun at a pubüe meeting, held at the courthouse in Indianapolis on a Sunday afternoon of last July, at which, notwithstanding extensive advertising and personal solicitation, there were not to escssd oue hundred men. Assuming to represent the posts of the eity, and concealing their limited number behind the forms of sn organization, they sent out misleading cireular to all the posts of the state, whereby an antagonism was erta'.ed that would have dc-foited the completion of the moatimtnt if it bad been recognised. Happily, it was not heeded, and the commission is now enabled to procsed with its work, the e Torts of those who would ruin where they ctu not rule having failed. Actrerse Criticism Resented. It Is also well to remember that each commissioner, responsible for placing the data lines upon tbe halt, was a member of this committle, and that, fro a the earliest dars of its

Organization, they were members in Rood stsad og of the Grand Army ot toe Kcpuulie. Further, Ihey were sol.lters in the Ift'e war, and challenge any of their critics and a'ssilants to show more devotion to the esur of the union than they hive doue. The sauie principles which actuated them in that great struggle have guided iheTJ in the discharge of their present dittie, find, on their bhlf, I rfent the denunciations to vshioh they hf.TS been subjected by those who, if they tia I been as active id acsiNtsncs and o -operation at the t.me cantributi mi were Icirg solicited as they a-e now in opposition, the Urand Army of the Itpuh!ic of tni dcpiutment co'ild bare had the fitisfsrtion ami honor of prosecutit g the work of builJicg one of the greatest monuments of the worhi to a successful conclusion. Nut having done so, tha tate his geacroiuly uaderlaken the t-isK, and the monument promises to be of such character when completed as will represent ail the peoj-le and ta iks it the best exponent of what they hive so far accomplished. Kven it present dctraoluri wi.l be satislied, it that be ponsitile, OLD LIBERTY BELL.

Sutton was bell over in the sum of coX O and Harber in ttie sum of -.uuO to answer before the grand jury. .Some new and eenBational facts were developed in the examination of witnesses, but tno feature was the disclosure of inartistic and monumental lying, w hich bus been indulged in by some ot the people who ail along have insisted that they knew nothing about Sutton's atraira. The audience and possibly the defenu was astonished when President Thad Spindle of the Cermania trust company stated on tho stand that Sutton bad confeesfid the forgeries at the meeting held at the German national bank nearly two weeks ago. According to Mr. Spindle's testimony Sutton told those aseemheled that he bad forged tbe lirst spurious receipt at the time of the Paring failure in order to keep from going to the walk DOUBLE TRAGEDY.

M. McCleary, who tiad tioen a neiirhhor of the MoFee's, spoke well of his li;e up to ths time ths forerivs were cocimitied.

Wittiest Hid not htliev Ale Fee to ta a bi i itn a( heart. Ilia present uohapi.y position eonld liest be traced to a weak, yielding ti tne inüa euces of bad associatss, John A. llraume. thirty-two years a resident of Indianapolis, testified he had known John It. Mteo with a close ictimsey and friendship, Mel ts had upon his Cut arrival in loditnapolis oame to witness bouse and made Li borne. Witness, at that tizne, did not know Mol'es was married. Met him first at church. Liied him and invited Lim to his Loose. Ii McFce'a bom there was ever present the intlorncs of a stronir ai'eetioa between husband and wife, Mrs. Mo Fee bad an aunt, a maiden lady, who lived with them and always loved thrn both, the furnished their bouse for them. Wbentha troub.e corns on them she returns j to hit old home in Baltimore. lier circumstances will permit her dointr no more for her nieoa. An other auut is married and dependent for what rconcy she Las cn her husband, who vill perrnit hor to cive riotnitjj to Mrs. Mr lee. icet MoFee carua back lrom Philadelphia, be and his wife had teen liricz at witness' bonsa. Witness had such implicit cocüdei oj in John It. Mct ee that he would be as willing to help him yet another start in life as if Lie Fee was bis own ton. lid not Lflievs MoFee bad erst' been a liabitue of tbe paaihliDj rooms. McFee then took tlie stand and, with bis eyes euUui-d with ters, told his story. Was th:rty-one y?ars old aud tiad resided nearly five years iu Indianapolis. Had been eduottod for bis chosen profusion in the law departmect of tbe Maryland university. 11 ad been the honor graduate in a larye cleat, and bad been called from the clas to enter the law otilee of one of his preceptors. He was a youDar man and wae anxious to seek, a location where he could buildup an honorable distinction and secure a home fcr himclf and bis yoanc wife. II had Icen induced to com to Tipton, Int., by the I'.er. T. J. Lent, a catholic priest of that place, who thought he could st-euro an unrterpjrtnership in the law ofhao of 1 T. Boschump, a leading Tipton attorney. When be came to Tipton he failed in seoarinu the desired opening and cams to Indianapolis He had brought letters from many of the leading attorneys of lU'itimora and when lis reached Idtianapolis be soon beoame the partner of Itohcrt i'tcny, with whom be remained for soma time and then entered in partnership wi:h Judge Fierce Norton. MclVe, ooritinninc. aertod be had never ßamhlei balers lie cam to this ty; that his chsraoter was untainted up to tbe time of bis commission of the crime to wbioli he bad pleaded. Had become aoiuainted with billy Tron and Tobs Howe, the gamblers, first in the wsy of business. Witness ssid he was married one year before be came West. Mrs. McFee is now twenty four years old. TI.ey had bad one child. Witness Lad not a dollar oa earth. With every reference to bis wife MoFee's lips trembled and tears rsn down hia cheeks. When asked if Mn. McFee's parents were living, MoFee sobbed and was unable for a moment to reply. He tbsn in low, pathetio tones sail: "Her mother died at her birth and ber father died when she was an infant. When asked it ha was willing to make tbe effort to secure bis lost position and agtia make a man of himsoif he replied: "lain renif to take what the court may in bit wit torn tee fit to impose. I have no excuses to o er, but there is no star cf hope in my horizon." Mrs. McFee tottered to tbe witness Stan !, supported tenderly by the arm of br kind friend, Mrs. lteaume. As coherently as possible, she told how allectionato and faithful ber tiimbnn t's conduct toward her had alw ays been. W.' en asked if she still loved him, she turned a look of wondering amazement upon Attorney Morris and said : "l,ova bim ! Why, I lore him better than lift itself. 1 believe in him. I have hope for bis future. 1 know be will never more d wroae." The unhappy little wife was wietchsd will heartache aud could say r.o more. Attorney lloltrman said be would be per fectly salielied with the minimum entnc ar.d Judce Fox then told McFee kiudly tut firmly to stand up or judgment.
