PROTECTION and reciprocity mean
first, the absolute control of our own
market in all articles that we can pro-
duce with profit; second, the selling to
foreign nations of the surplus of our
products in exchange for such articles
as we can not produce with profit. The
first is protection to our own industries,
our homes and iresides. The second is
fair exchange.

There have been public buildings to

ed on the score of justice and need to
make up the difference.
And this country is growing. 1t costs

years ago, or five years ago, or even two
years ago. 1t is working out problems
on which its future depends. Its peo-
pie are prosperous under Republican
policy. They can already see enhanced
and greater prosperity under that policy.
They will scrutinize the accounts of
Congress and find not single error in
the appropriations, while ON the other
hand, they can see $55,000,000 relief
from free sugar, $265, 100000 paid on
the public debt in two years from the
surplus revenues, stimulated manufac-
lures and better home markets for agri-
cultural products springing up every
where under the Mckinley bill, and
growing commerce under reciprocity,
which will take the surplus products of
our soil and our factories to countries
which stand ready to trade for them on
liberal terms.

partisans who assert the contrary must

Relative Amounts of Fat and Lean In
changed by Ordinary Foods.
Bulletin 10 of the Virginia expert
ment station gives the details of eN
periments with 3 different rations fed
to pigs to determine their relative
economy and the comparative amount
of fat and lean produced by each. The
first ration was corn meal alone, IN
which the percentage OF nitrogen was
quite small; the second consisted of
10 parts corn meal, parts bran, and l
part beef scrap, and the third of parts
corn meal, 2 parts bran and parts
beef scrap. which had a large percent
age of nitrogen. At the beginning OF
the experiment the groups of pigs
g in each group weighed about the
same amount. but it soon became evil
dent the third group which ate most
heterogeneous food, was not gaining as
rapidly as the others, and after about
2 months all three of this group died.
An examination showed that they per-
ished from lack of power to assimilate
food. The other groups were siaugh-
tered after Is weeks feeding, but no
difference in the relative amounts OF
fat and lean could be discovered The
group ted corn meal alone had Sained

drv substance in food eaten, at cost

but little injured. The explanation of
this difference is to be found in the
fact that the blight fungus is pro-
pagated during the summer by means
of microscopic spores, which of course,
fell in greatest numbers upon the
young plants nearest the blight-in-
Tested ones. The lesson to be drawn
from the fact is too plain to need point
ing out. If it were possible, indeed, to
isolate beds of young plants so as to
prevent the access to the leaves of all
spores, plants might be kept free from
blight indefinitely.
All through the summer the blight is
propagated by these long spores.
Toward fall the threads which have
been mentioned as forming the grow
ing part of the parasite within the SUBJ
stance of the strawberry leaf, form
solid, tissue-like masses in the dead
part of spots, and finally these appear
at the surface as small black dots. The
function of these little nodules appears
to be to preserve the parasite condi-
tions of weather unfavorable to active
growth and multiplication. They are
in the old leaves all winter, and send
out in spring threads bearing spores
similar to the long, jointed summer
spores.
The cut will show the peculiar charac
ter of this fungus.

lot of native pastors were called to-

the missionaries, are apt to think they
know lust what to do aud are perfectly
qualified to get along without advice.
Bishop Newman began his talk. but
was constantly interrupted by the ma
tive brethren, who jumped up one after
another to remark that they thought
this or that would be preferable.

the bishop. losing his patience little,
