Kafir Cora la ladiaaa, Fttdoe University Agricultural Experiment Station. Newspaper Bulletin No. 30, February 7, 1808. Letters of inquiry, received at the experiment station, indicate that many Indiana farmers are becoming interested in kaffir corn. This forage plant has been grown experimentally for a number of years in many parts of the country, but without attracting much notice. Receutly it has sprung into some prominence as a forage plant for the semi-arid portions of the country, and astonishing claims are made for It in certain newspaper articles which are attracting wide attention. Kaffir corn is one of the many nonsaccharine varieties of sorghum. Iu common with# other sorghums, both sweet and non^aecharlue, kaffir corn appears to succeed quite well in climates to dry for the best development of Indian corn. While kaffir corn may well claim the attention of farmers living in tery dry climates, it is at least an open question, whether it can prove advantageous to the farmers of Indiana. It should be borne in mind'that t he sorghums are recommended as forage plants tor Use drier climates in which Indian corn cannot thrive. Where Indian corn grows to perfection, as it does in all portions of Indiana, it would be extremely unwise to neglect it for any of the sorghums which have thus far anti of the sorghums which have thus far shown no special adaption to this sectiou.

Although the kaffir corn aud other sorghums have showu no superior to the editor: Please credit the experiment in previous trials at this experiment station, the former will be more thoroughly tested here the coming sea so 11). Farmers having very dry, warm soils, will do well to grot? small areas of kaffir corn along side the common field corn for comparison. Those who Intend trying kaffir corn, should remember that it is »aid to be very sensitive to cold, especially when germinating. The ground may be prepared at'the sumo 'lime and in the same planner tor common field corn, but the planting of the kaffir corn should be delayed until lute in May- or early in June. Meanwhile, the prepared ground should he cultivated front time, to time as weeds appear, s<> that it will be well cleared of weeds before the seed art* planted, l’ut into clean ground thus late, the seed will germinate more promptly, and the early growth which is slow* at best, will be more vigorous than if planted early and the subsequent labor of cultivation will be considerably-re-duced. If much seea is desired, plant the same as sweet sorghum. If sorghum hay is desired, it is recommended that one bushel of sejed be sown broadcast, or three pecks to the acre in drills. At the Kansas experiment station the red kaffir corn yields piore grain and fodder than the white variety, and is considered superior to tne latter. - _ W. C. Latta. Agriculturist.

NOT A REVENUE MEASURE. Heed’s Tariff BUI la a Bid Bar the Support of the Tariff Barons. It becomes clearer the more the Reed tariff bill is studied that it is nothing more than Mr. Reeel’s bid for the support of the tariff borons, an afterthought growing oat of the discovery that his contemplated policy of inaction was driving the barons to McKinley as the sole conspicuous representative of their interests. This bill would doubtless have cotne in the coarse of events without any possibility of a foreign war, but Mr. Reed has taken swift advantage of an occasion to prepare a protective tariff measure under the guise of a revenue bill and rush it through the house of representatives under the spur of a declared and supposed necessity for its immediate enactment. Wo have already pointed ont how the Reed bill falls far short in some important particulars of being a revenue measure. The wool and lumber schedules cannot yield more than $36,000,000 a year. When that is said, practically all is said, for the other duties, levied on a line of increase ranging from 15 to 35 per cent advances over the existing schedules, would be found to be largely prohibitory and tending to depletionj rather than growth in revenues. These duties are intended to create closed I markets for the producers of northern I New York and New England. Tliej southern and western and northwestern farmers find nothing protective in the bill for them. Even the cattle growers of these sections are still denied the duty on hides which they insist should be compensatory for the duty on leather I goods enjoyed by the New England j manufacturers.

It is tho old story of Republican tariff revision. The hide growers are left as open to foreign competition by Reed as they were left by McKinley, while the manufacturer of leather goods is as fortunately placed by one of these Republicans as by the’other. It is not surprising that the gag should be applied under the Reed rules for the purpose of railroading this toeasure through the house, for no one knows better than does Mr. Reed that the growth of intelligence and party independence on tariff lines in the last five years-wonld have made it difficnlt to get such a bill through the house and assured a long and acrimonious debate, showing wide divisions in Republican sentiment and[ opinion. Tho country will not fail to see that the Reed tariff bill is not, in any sense, a revenue measure and goes as far toward being a McKinley measure, proposing protection for protection's sake, as its author daregL It may result in the slaughter of both Rt?ed and McKinley in the convention unless the grip of the tariff plutocrats is too strong to be loosened.—St. Louis Republic.

SHARING THE GOOD THINGS. Coke Workers Realize the Benefits of the Wilson Tariff Law. The advance in the wages of upward of 16,000 workers in the Connellsville coke region will make the holidays a well remembered season. It comes as the graceful, meritorious and vokmtary act of "the large coke companies. The advance will range from 12 to 18 per cent on present wages. It affects all classes of. labor, and Mr. H. C. Frick,, tire leading operator, says “the advance ! was entirely unsolicited by the men, |and was brought about solely by the increased demand and increased price of Connellsville cbke. ” " This sharing of the good things of these Wilson tariff times by operators and. their workingmen is not only an act i of justice, but it will pave the way to a better understanding in the avoidance of future coi&iots between the employing and employed interests. The men will be much more ready to aecopt the vicissitudes of trade and business, rendering reductions sometimes necessary, when they know that they are also to share in the good times. Altogether, there has been a total advance in the wages of the coke workers since the 1st of October of 85 per cent—all under the Wilson tariff. —Pittsburg Post

Republican Statements Unreliable. “Under the McKinley law,” gays' Jthe New York World, “the customs revenues fell from $219,000,000 in the1 fiscal year ISO 1 to 1131,000,000 in the fiscal year 1894, a 3c^s of about $S8,C00,000. Under the Wilson bill they amounted for the first 11 months of 1&.95 to more than $ 152,000,000, or°$21,000,000 more for 11 mouths under the new tariff than for 12 mouths under that of MoKinley. All these figures are taken from the official reports. ” If the figures; are official, there can be no disputing them, and it ought to be easy to determine whether they are >r«ot if The World's statement is quest:onetL And if they are true they establish. the claim of the administration that there is no need of Republican tariff legislation to “increase the revenue. ” Th» New Orleans TimesDemocrat will fim that it is safer to investigate any quesrion of public interest, than to accept Republican assertion; regarding it. —Char estem News and Courier. Too But y to Lobby. The annual statement of dividends by the Fall River m: Lis ?*iows larger average payments than in. many years, the percentage having been 8.09, on a capitalisation of $21,268,000. No wonder the Fall River men have been too busy putting np new mills and overhaul ing j old ones to have any time for lobby ing in Washington with Mr. Reed’s congress. —Philadelphia Record. The Republics Senate. The session’s work of the United States senate under the iaew Republican regime promises to be of quite an interesting character. The house will be tame in comparison, that body having been for the time being: reduced to the somewhat degraded position of being a mere registry for the ciecrees of Czar Thomas B, .Reed.—New Orleans TizuesDemocraL..
