POTATO EXPERIENCE.

The Most Useful Fertilizer Combination and How to Apply It. By EDWARD B. VOORHEES, New Jersey Experiment Station. In the growing of early potatoes it is essential that an abundant supply of nitrogen be at the disposal of the plant. The experience of growers has clearly demonstrated this fact, and until commercial fertilizers came into general use most growers used large quantities of yard manure in order that the plant should suffer no* lack of this element. With the introduction of commercial fertilizers the question of greatest importance has been the source of nitrogen best suited to meet the demands of the special early growth. The experiments which have beeii conducted with a view to answering this question have shown clearly that, while nitrate is most useful, a combination of the nitrate with quickly available organic forms, as dried blood, or with both organic and ammonia forms is preferable to the use of any single form. On good potato soils, therefore, a good fertilization should consist of from 800 to 1,000 pounds of a fertilizer containing nitrogen 4 per cent, available phosphoric- acid 8 per cent and potash 10 per cent, one-third of the nitrogen at least to be derived from nitrate of soda and the remainder from quickly available organic forms. On soils in good condition the fertilizer may be applied in the row at the time of planting, though many prefer to apply one-half of the desired amount broadcast previously and the remainder in the row with the seed. Brome Grama. Brome grass is a valuable variety and has been tested over a wide area in the United States, but it finds its best development in the region from Kansas northward in the great plains and west into Montana and eastern Washington. It gives fair results east of this region, but in the eastern states is unable to compete with timothy and blue grass. In the southern states it has not given satisfactory results. It Is stated by A. S. Hitchcock, agrostologist, that if the soil is in proper condition brome grass may be sown in Nebraska any time from April to the Ist of October. Fall Seeding? of Gnu. In some parts of New England fields are frequently seeded to grass in the fall. This is done withont any crop and in some cases is found to be more successful than spring seeding along with a crop of grain. This work should be done In August or early in September on ground well prepared—that is. made of fine tilth, smooth and well fertilized. Where this system works well there should be good success with the crops of hay to follow, as they will have the entire benefit of the fertilizers applied, remarks American Cultivator. •

GET OUT THE VOTE.

The Democrats of Indiana have made a winning fight. At every point the Republicans have been on the defensive, and at no time have they met the arguments which have been advanced in favor of a return to con stltutional government and to respect for the rights of others, both at home and abroad. Governor Durbin has admitted that the much advertised payments made on the state debt since 1895 were from money realized from a Democratic tax law and a Democratic sinking fund law, and no Repubi lican speaker of intelligence has dared 1 to defend the silly utterances of the | state platform on that subject. The Republican state board of tax i commissioners has arbitrarily increasj ed the assessments on lands and lands and improvements in fifty counties of | the state, and with equal recklessness j reduced the assessments of corpora- ! tions, thus increasing the burden of : taxation of the one and decreasing the taxes, which have never been burdensome, of the other. In pursuing such a policy the board has shown a studied l purpose to curry favor with corporations at the expense of the people. It ; recognized the fact that the tax law was enacted to pay off the state debt and that it could not be done If the assessments of corporations were reduced and corresponding increases were not made in other directions. When the alternative was presented of making the corporations pay a proportionate share of the taxes of the state or reducing their assessments and adding to the burdens of the people, the board did not hesitate to place the burden on the farming communities, thus adding materially to their taxes. In respect to the national candidates In Indiana the campaign has been aggressive and thousands of Republicans appreciate the calm, dignified demean or of Judge Parker and have come to contrast it with the bullying, impetuous temperament of the President and to see in the one safety for principles of government and in the other danger and possible shipwreck if encouraged by indorsement at the polls. The American patriotism, which lies deep in every thinking man, has been aroused, and hundreds among the Republicans of that class will vote for Judge Parker through fear of Republican tendecies under Roosevelt. The influence of this class is already marked in the campaign and the Democrats may reasonably expect to poll a large vote from men who admire sterling worth and cannot be won by glitter and show. These are the favorable auspices under which the campaign has progressed and under which the vote will be cast. But Democrats should see that no votes are lost for lack of effort on the part of those charged with the duty of getting men to the polls. This is a work that ought to challenge earnest thought from now till the polls are closed on the Bth of November. Every

THE FULL COFFEE POT.

"Two things the American working man insists upon having, whatever else he surrenders —coffee and sugar. Last year the American peo-ple-consumed 350,000,000 more pounds of coffee than they used in 1896. In that year the American people used 8 pounds of coffee per capita. Last year eleven pounds of coffee per capita. Watch the American working man’s coffee pot. That tells what political party is in power.’—From Senator Beveridge’s speech Sept. 28 at Tomlinson Hall. I. They’ve ceased to talk about it. They’ve thrown it overboard. They now campaign without it— That pail so much adored. The full dinner pail, Oh, ’tis cast out to rot Since Beveridge has introduced “The full coffee pot.” 11. They haven't any use for it, They hold it up no more; They say there's no excuse for it, And claim it proved a bore. The full dinner pail, How unhappy its lot, Since Albert Jeremiah sprung “The full coffee pot." 111. They’ve kicked it out forever. Because the working man. Despite their best endeavor. Can't be coddled with a can. So the full dinner pail. Which was once pipin' hot. Now rusts on the dump for “The full coffee pot.” —J. P. O’M. Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 29.

This is a free country and yet in Colorado men were taken from their homes and dropped like stray cats over the state border line, simply because they belonged to a lodge, which was unfortunate In having men among its membership who were fanatics and who disobeyed the law. The Republican party indorses this outrageous treatment of helpless, inoffensive miners and claims this state for Roosevelt. Advice to mothers: When you hoist up the infants for the tall Senator from Indian to kiss, be sure that the stepladder is safely anchored. Mr. Fairbanks has at last reached the climax of the political art He has begun kissing the babiea.

AN INCIDENT

In the Great Railroad Strike of 1877 When Men Were Arrested and Sent to Jail. During the great railroad strike of 1877 the old Indianapolis, Bloomington & Western railroad, now a part of the Big Four system, was under the management of Geoige B. Wright aa receiver, and a large number of the employes went out on strike. Senator Charles W. Fairbanks was the solicitor for the railroad and as such filed a number of complaints In the federal court at Indianapolis against the strikers. The first of these complaints was filed on July 23 and the last on Aug. 1, 1877, and in pursuance of the prayer therein and the charges made of Interference, some twenty strikers were brought into the court. Here is one of tne many complaints filed, all being alike except as to the names of the parties charged with Interference: The United Statu District Court for the District of Indiana. Malcorab C. Turner et al. vs. Indianapolis, Bloomington & Western Railway Company, et al. George B. Wright, receiver herein, would respectfully report unto this honorable court that divers and sundry persons have heretofore combined to embarrass and hinder your receiver in his management and operation of said railway under the authority of this honorable court. And your receiver reports that the following persons are among the persons so combined to interfere as aforesaid, as your receiver is advised, viz., H. Commingore. P. McKinney, M. Horaw. A. VanTuyl, Jr., and J. W. Brown. And your receiver reports that said persons did interfere with his management by the unauthorized seizure of property in his custody and control, as will fully appear in the annexed affidavit of Samuel T. Bell, marked Exhibit "A” and made a part hereof. And your receiver prays that, said persons heretofore in said affidavit named may be punished as the violence of this offence may warrant. Respectfully submitted, Geo. B. Wright, Receiver, By C. W. Fairbanks, Solicitor. Under this and similar complaints the following named employes of the railroad represented by Mr. Fairbanks were arrested: H. Commingore. P. McKinney, M. Horaw, A. VanTuyl, Jr., J. W. Brown, David Crawford. John Pritchard. Michael Crawley. Patrick Gilivan, Chas. Christ. W. N. Sayre, T. M. Arthur, Patrick Dean, Thomas Sayre, Michael Delany, A. J. Cooper, A. Outcalt and George Smith, and two others named Brickly and Githen. Mr. Fairbanks appeared against the strikers at the ensuing trials and Crawford, Dean, Brickly and Githen were sentenced to three months’ imprisonment irt the Bartholomew county jail and Outcalt and Smith were sentenced for similar terms in the Jefferson county jail.

More Converts.

Mr. Spencer Trask, head of the big New York banking house bearing his name. aDd who supported Mr, McKinley in the two previous presidential elections, announces that he will support Judge Parker in the present campaign. Repudiating Roosevelt and advocating the election of Judge Parker to the presidency, Henry R. Wolcott, of Colorado, informed his friends that the business interests of the west, demanded the defeat of the Republican national ticket. Mr. Wolcott is a brother of ex-l’nited States Senator Edward O. Wolcott, of Colorado, and has even a larger Republican following in liis state than has the ex-senator.

"Scrupulously Fulfilled.”

Mr. Roosevelt says: “In 1896 the Republican party came into power, and in 1900 it retained power on certain definite pledges, each of which was seruplously fulfilled.” If anyone doubts that this is an unwarranted boast, let him read the Republican national platforms for 1896 and 1900. Among the “definite pledges” in the 1896 platform were the promise of reciprocity; the promise to promote the free coinage of silver by international agreement: the promise to give veterans of the Union armies preference in the matter of appointments to office; the promise to honestly enforce the civil service law; the promise to create a national board of arbitration; the promise to admit the territories to statehood: the promise to give Alaska representation in congress. Not one of these pledges has been fulfilled. Conspicuous among the “definite pledges” in the Republican platform for 1900 was the promise that the party would restrain and prevent all conspiracies and combinations intended to restrict business, to create monopolies and to lihiit production or to control prices. Another “definite pledge” was to maintain “the associated policy of reciprocity." Another “definite pledge” related to the enforcement of the civil service law Another “definite pledge" related to the admission' to statehood of the territories. Not one of those “definna pledges" has been fulfilled.

Senator Cannon's sharp and ineislve retort on Secretary Taft's speech about President Roosevelt’s conservatism is going the rounds of the press. He said: "It was ut%-ed purely for publication and not as a guarantee of good faith."

TO ORGANIZE.

At the meeting of tlie State Central Committee last week the necessity for a compact organization was discussed and the belief wait generally expressed that this would assure Indiana's ret;m.i to the Democratic fold. All the members pledged themselves to their best endeavor in this respect, and in every precinct, township and county in the state the work is now in progress. But the chairmen of these several political divisions cannot do the work alone. They need the assistance of every Democrat in their respective jurisdictions, and if this is given and given cordially, and every Democrat goes to work and works with a will, there will be no question of the result. Indiana is naturally a Democratic state. Among its voters are thousands of farmers who are oppressed by an iniquitous Republican tariff; and thousands of laboring men who are dependent upon the capricious will of the tariff-fostered trusts, and thousands of salaried men whose incomes have been decreased in the past ten years by abnormal advances in the prices of the trust products. These classes are all replying against the Republican policy through which they are burdened and which Mr. Roosevelt has defiantly declared will be continued if he is elected. The Democratic party has set its face against these things, and its candidate for the presidency is pledged to correct the existing and constantly growing evil. Every tariff-oppressed farmer, every trust-burdened laboring man. every salaried employe, who feels the stress of present conditions, can be reached by the local organization and made to realize that the remedy is at hand if he will only avail himself of the opportunity to lay hold of and improve It. A close, efficient organization can reach these classes, and it is the only kind of an organization that can. It behooves every Democrat, then, to go to work and labor earnestly to accomplish that which is so essential to success. Let organization be the watchword and let every Democrat see how many Republicans in his district will aid him in overthrowing the party that has added millions to the burdens of the people both in state and country in the last eight years.
