OUR best farmers now generally use phos-
phate on oats, and say that 1t pays as well on
this crop as any upon which It is used. Two
hundred to three hundred pounds per acre, har-
rowed in, or drilled in with the seed will in
crease the crop largely, and often prevent blight
or r1tSt, as well as make 1t ripen much more
evenly; II grass-seed is sown with the oats, the
phosphate will ensure good catch" Of the
seed, and Its good effects will be plainly seen
for several years.

The curses were both loud and deep ON the

covered that the fat county offices had been

THE article upon the practical results of the
system of protection to American industry,
by Robert P Porter, reprinted from the Phil
adelphia Press, is worth the most careful read
ing and consideration. It does not deal with
theories but with facts Particularly are the
farmers interested in what Mr.. Porter here
states 50 clearly, quoting from the statistical
reports of the Agricultural Department statis-
tician A gentleman who has been making an
Intelligent study of the political situation in
many of the leading States, particularly with
respect to the tariff question, says that in no
State west of the Alleghenies has he seen 50
wide a comprehension of the subject as in In
diana, and that he finds a vast majority of the
people heartily in favor of the protective idea.
