The Toll Roads.

To THE EDTTOR-Sir: / wish through The
SENTINEL to say few words to the members
of the legislature in regard TO the toll roads of
Indiana. These roads were built by levying
tax on the lands lying along the lines Of the
roads. The stock has never had much value
but as rule it has been bought up by a few
men at five or ten cents on the dollar. These
men have got a controlling interest, vote them
selves in Office, formed themselves into petty
trusts and charge the men that built the roads
for going over them. although they never got
pay for their labor in constructing them.
These roads have not been built or kept in re-
pair the law directs. but tine people pay the
toll rather than go 10 law.
Now, if the legislature wishes TO do good
and just thing for the people, let it pass
law putting toll so low that the companies
cannot keep up their gates This will wipe
them out and that is all we want. \ large per
cent. of the companies have made their roads
free and the rest should be compelled to.

FARM TALK FOR JANUARY.
TESTING FERTILIZERS IN MANY WAYS
Rust in Wheat and Other Grains-Feeding
Cows-Turnips- TooIs-Clover EnsiIage
Household Hints and Farm
Items of Interest.

j have three different farms, says a cor
respondent of the Ohio Farmer, and no
two of them alike. nor will uniform
treatment of them be a very wise course
| have tested all my lands to see what ef-
feet fertilizers have on them, and also for
different crops. For potatoes all that
ever put on my land has been lost I have
tried it under the seed potatoes and over
them. and every other way, and it would
never produce a larger potato nor a
smoother one than the rows each side did
without any. / have never found any
thing but good, wel-rotted barnyard ma
nure that made potatoes grow any better
than to use my clover-sod ground, which
| usually do for this crop. But wheat, corn
and oats, on two OF my farms, are greatly
benefited by fertilizers composed wholly
OF blood, bone, meat and sulphuric acid
to rot the bone and prepare it quicker
for plant food. / have one farm OF
new land on which as yet / can see very
little benefit in the use OF fertilizers Of this
kind. l have used from three to six tons
every year to great advantage for fifteen
years. and produced by it heavy cropsand
grand results. But | always find ont
before L 90 in heavy, on any of my lots,
exactly how much of this kind of plant
food they need to produce good results,
and l believe that it is all wrong for any
farmer to pay out money for commercial
fertilizers to use on his land without first
experimenting very carefully to see if his
land needs it at all. Build silos; grow
ensilage corn and feed longer in the fall
and winter months, saving the extra barn
yard manure, and you will soon make
yourselves and your old farms both rich,
unless you are too lazy 10 work, or
squander your money.

Where Children Are Popular.
To THE EDIToR-S'r: I notice in this morn
ing's SENTINEL article in regard TO the
proportion of school children enumerated and
voters polled, in which il is attempted to be
shown that some counties have been guilty OF
an Over-enumerstion. Among those selected

popuiatiOn-schOol or Otherwise-hssed upon
the votes OF Dubois county, would be- very
citizens inclines them very largely 10 ne
democrats, and the preponderance in politics
of about two and one-halt to one results in a
large number OF voters absenting themselves
from the polls on election day. Even with all
the excitement OF the late election. there was
not a precinct in the county east its full
strength. there being certainly over one

know that Instrumentation OF school children

blessed generally with more children than city
families, the injurious fallacy that children are

country communities. Instead OF finding fault
with the proportionate number of children
enumerated, the law should compel all voters

do not realize its importance and only do their
duty pro lorna. Respectfully,
