MANURE fon OARS SowN IN AuousT.-Can you
or any your correspondents tell me what is
the best manure for oats sown in August and
September? Cotton seed is good enough, but
they can't be had at that season, and If they
could be had they would have to be crushed to
prevent coming up. How would cotton seed
meal do, say two sacks to the acre? Would
acid phosphate be of benefit, break the ground
and put the acid phosphate on after breaking
and sow the oats and harrow in 20. F. c.,
Edgefeld, S. c..
ANswER.-If confined to one commercial
fertilizer for oats, we should take acid phos.
phate iflimited to two, should take phosp phate
and kainit, equal parts and if not limited should
add some cotton seed meal to the last two. One
hundred pounds of each would make an ordi-
nary manuring for On acre. Plough in with the
oats. Cotton seed meal alone would probably
make rather richer, greener looking field of
oats than the acid phosphate, but for equal
money value, the latter would come out ahead
at seeding tiiue.-Southern Cultipator.

a WHIsKEY TRAuEDY.-A terribly sad
tragic event occurred at Acambaro, 10 the
State of Michoacan, the present terminus
ofthe Mexican National Railway. A mum
ber OF men were seated at the supper table
in the Hotel Diligence, a place frequented
by railroad men whose business called them
there, when Mr.. F. V. Sybsrg, man about
~ years of age, employed as civil engineer
by the Mexican National road, entered the
room, greatly under the influence oflquor
lie walked up to one of the men at The
table and in few moments there was
violent dispute between the two over some
trivial matter. 1t ended in Syberg's exclaim-
ing: "I'll shoot youw
Seated at another table close at hand
was Young man namod * * aL.Gabo
who was in the employment of the road as
line reparer. Ho had strapped to his belt
pistol in its holster. Syberg, at the time
OF making his threat to shoot, was unarmed
but noticing McCabc, who was a friend Of
his, close at hand with pistol in sight, he
rushed over to him and attempted to snatch
1t from its holster in order to shoot the other
man. McCabe, who was perfectly sober.
jumped to his feet, clappcd his hands to his
weapon and exclaimed
"Leave that, alone, sir; don't allow
any mani don't care if he is my best
triend-to take my pistol from its hols-
ster !"
This action on McCabe's part both sur.
Friscd and angered Syberg, who there
upon lost all thought Of the original quarrel
and turning on McCabe, administered TO
him terrible tongue lashing. McCabe is
reported to have stood the same for some
time, and then to have got up and started for
his room at the Gepot. Syberg followed him
toward the house, and McCabe said "Go
away, aud don't bother me any more. 7
don't want to hurt you, because | know
you'll regret this when You sober up"

The Iowa Pool.

CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-The general man
ayers of the western roads, who have besn
in session at Omaha for the past three
days, com leting the details of the agree,
ment il the business between Chicago and
Missouri river points, arrived here te-day,
and will take part in the Iowa pool meet
ing tomorrow. It is probable the new
agreement which ends the life of the Iowa
pool will be laid before the meeting and
an adjournment taken in order to give
the Burlington, the only road in the old
pool not comprised in the new,
time to decide whether it also
will entsr. The manager of that road says
he has not yet seen the agreements, but
has no doubt it is such that the Burlington
cannot accept them. The representatives
of the roads in the new pool say its terms
are the same as those of the tripartite
agreement already published, except that
a clause has been added admitting other
roads. 1t is understood the managers of
the Wabash and Milwaukee & st. Paul
signed the agreement subject to the ap-
prevail OF their boards of directors.

Total. I42

BY comparison of this table with that for
1882 1t will be seen that while there was a slight
increase OF the rate of mortality from scarlet
fever in 1888, there was also a slight falling
off of deaths from the dreaded disease, diphtne-
rie, aed almost half from typhoid fever, while
there were twenty-five deaths less fIsp these
combined diseases, even with the quarter thou
sand increase of population, than during the
year previous, which is a subject for general
public congratulation.
During the warmer months, a laborer from
the. lumber camps brought smallpox to the city,
which was communicated to others In q boarding
house, but on becoming knswn it was rigidIy
quaraatined and general vaccination was entered
upon by the department of health. By this
means 1t was confined to eleven cases, and was
soon suppressed. During the third week of De-
cember q child emigrant from Europe was also
discovered as having the smallpox, but general
vaccination and quarantine prevented its spread.
Cases of this disease having origin in the city
are almost wholly unknown.
The same general fact is also true OF consump-
ton, of the non contagious diseases. Though
there is a medium death rate from this disease,
1t is a rare instance that a case of it appears that
is indigenous to this climate, the deaths being
principally of those who have sought this heal
ing climate too late to avail themselves of its
benefits.
There is also an entire absence OF nalarious
disease in this climate, nothing Of this descrip-
ton being encountered by the physicians ex-
cept solitary instances Of malarial combined
with typhoid symptoms.
Although there Is an occasional death from
pneumonia, 1t Is no more frequent than in the
southern states and is much more plenty than
here, even in New Mexico, where, on the high
lands, Its ratio Of fatality is very much greater.
Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1883-12-31

This table further shows that while the popu-
iation has increased 25, 200, the number of
deaths exceeds those OF 1892 by ffty-seven only.
1t will be seen also that the death rate has not
reached SO low q rate as this year since 1867,
when, with a population OF $4,000 it was 1870,
except in 1878. when with a population of SO 1890
it touched Il so.
Such, therefore, is the extraordinary low
death rate of st. Paul for 1883, according to its
population, that it may be safe to predict that
when returns are received from all the prominent
to be the lowest IN the list for the year. This is
q showing which while it cannot fail to attract
general attention throughout the country and
the world, should spur the authorities Of the
city on to the prosecution of sewerage improve
ments, the health department to the rigid en-
forcement of its rules, and prove a convincing
argument to each and every one of its inhabitants
that cleanliness is the prime minister of health.
Hrom DR.. Henry F.. Hoyt, the city's health
commissioner, we learn that the majority of
cases Of malignant diseases appearing here as
epidemic the past year were directly traceable
to either filth or uncleanliness, improper connec-
lions Of drains and vaults with sewers, contami-
nsting sink and vault holes in the earth, non
severed localities and total absence of Phalen
water, all of which have been coupled by a prom
inent health officer of Chicago under the one
category of hidden treasures of wrath -
These malignant diseases are placed under the
head of diphtheria, scarlet and typhoid fever,
and in 1882 with a population of 1885 the
following were the deaths occurring therefron

AN eastern publication proposes to get
rid of polygamy among the Mormons by
placing restrictions on the entrance OF
women into Utah. There is something
in the nature of g protective tariff in
this Suggestion; it is to protect the wives
of homogeneous marriages by a course
which shall prevent the importation OF
foreign competing material. This will
have the effect to increase the value of the
home product; to so enhance the value of
the single wife that she will be all that one
man will care to provide for. There is no
good reason why a wife should not be pro-
tected against the "pauper oompstition'
OF the old world; she certainly is of as
much consequence as steel rails, and other
articles which we endegvor to keep out of
the country by p%rohibitory import duties.
The GLOBE is of the opinion that some
thing also ought to be lone in tbs inter
ests of the husbands in polygamous mar
riages. Far too much sympathy IS now
extended to the women; it is
apparently overlooked that the poor
husbands have a grievance, and that
they are entitled to eommiseration and re-
lief. If one woman can make the life OF
man wretohed beyond all comprehension.
what must be the condition of one with
two, three, or half a dozen of these attach
ments? If n mother-in.lsw can devas.
tate a home, what can be lone By several
of them?
Let it be understood, then, that any
measures to relieve Utah Of polygamy
must be catholic in their character; tina,
they must be sufficiently comprehensive
not only to relieve the wives, but especial,
ly to lift from the shoulders of the m er
the intolerable burden which now weigh:
them down.

Showing the Most AttrSctiye City on the
Continent.
The greater part of The city OF st. Pau. is sit
uated on elevated ground, and with the excep-
ton of a few sudden changes in the spring and
fall its healthfulness of climate is surpassed by
no city in the world. Added to this, its natural
facilities for drainage, which its authorities are
utilizing with great repidity and at a great out
lay of means, as year succeeds year, have no
equal in any metropolis of the United States,
while its exhaustless supply OF pure water from
the springfield Phalen lake would seem to insure
it in the future as in the past, with the moderate
exercise of necessary safeguards on the part of
its population, almost thorough immunity from
malignant and devastating disease.
With an active and vigorous health depart
ment, and health ordinances, the stringen-
cy of whose prompt enforcement its pop
ulatisn are fast becoming educated up
to, and their thorough support by the author
tiles III their determination to cleanse both the
heart of the city and its suburbs of all ex-
creseence and germs of disease which water works
and sewers will run down hill and out of the
city limits, and the confinement IN watertight

ural advantages possessed, it would truly seem
that God at least meant st. Paul to be a clean city

to bring it the purest OF water for ablution and
to take it after deflenent and cast it afar from

of the Illinois Central railroad, once said
"If railroad managers would only keep in
mind the fact that they are only trustees

such things as railroad wars and cuttin g
rates. If the people were given much

roade, they will give in their sovereign
capacity and assert their right
to regulate and control the vast
properties which they have helped
to create and make valuable. They will
demand of 'their trustees" complete re,
turns of their stewardship.

western Trunk lines have to repl,

queries. The people are asking them,
