ALREADY over 5000 farms have
been staked out in Oklahoma terri
tory, and this increase has brought
an added population of about 20, :
600 The growth Of this territory
has been wonderful indeed. The
settlement of 100, 900 people in a
territory that three years ago had
nothing but Indians and cowboys is
without parallel in history, and
yet there is no doubt that, if some
more land was opened up, there
would be just as many home seekers
ready to make a race for. it.

Ecclesiastical circles have been
surprised by the publication of what
purports to be stenographic report
of DR.. Francis L. Patton's inaugural
address on becoming President Of
Princeton College in 1887, in which
the eminent divine and opponent Of
DR.. Briggs declares his belief in a
future probation. DR.. Patton as
serts that he was incorrectly report
ed by Rev. Mr.. Mcqueen, the stem
ographer on that occasion, but the
latter gentleman insists upon the alb
solute correctness Of his report.
Now, however, Rev. Frank Hyatt
Smith, Of Cambridge, Mass, who
took the address in longhand, pub
fishes a statement to the effect that
he will swear that Dr. Patton was
correctly reported Mr.. Smith adds
that he was editor of the Philadel-
phia Magazine, published by the
Philadelphia Society at Princeton in
1887, and according to custom was
about to print the address in the
magazine. After Dr.. Patton's re-
marks DR.. Duhdeld came to me and
said: Those views of DR.. Patton
were very broad. You had better
not print them without showing him
the proofs Accordingly, when
the report had been written out and
set up l took the proofs to Dr.. Pat
ton with a request to be allowed to
print the address. He had no reason
to be surprised at the request. New
ertheless, he exhibited annoyance
and excitement and said, "Oh no,

In it's summary of the immigra-
ton statistics for the last fifty years,
the census bureau shows that in
half century 100000 of foreign
ers have landed on our shores. The
bureau shows that "assisted immi-
grafton" is an evil, and that we are
thus receiving many paupers and
dependent people. The earlier i'm
migration was that of high grade
of people who made excellent citi-
ems, but the conditions to-day are

THE removal of John Hoey from
the presidency Of the Adams Express
company upon proof of nafeasance
in that responsible office, is matter
of national interest. His diShonor-
able and dishonest act. which
wrecked a previous honorable ca
reer, is matter of surprise. After
nearly forty years service for the
great corporation, during which he
built up a spotless character and
amassed fortune, he yielded to
temptation and in an evil hour sold
his honor for $3.50, 900. The temp
tation was large one and he did
not have the strength to resist it, al
though he was a wealthy man and
had no real need for the money.
There are none Of the ordinary ex-
Cuses in his case, such as sometimes
serve to soften public judgment with
regard to offenders. For a desire to
increase in measure a fortune al
ready ample to meet his needs, he
deliberately turned scoundrel after
lifetime of honest business conduct.
Under the circumstances it was a
clear and deliberate sacrifice of repu-
tation which makes the act peculiar
ly wicked. 1t would seem that his
past career would have served as a
safeguard from his dishonest act. In
his position he had certainly suff-
Cient opportunities to see that money
counts for little when obtained by
dishonorable methods. A business
life should teach man to put aside
temptation and preserve his integrity
at any cost. In the majority of
cases it does, but Hoey's downfall is
hard to explain. His intelligence, if
not his conscience, should have
warned him against the ruin into
which he hurled himself No one
can realize the course of reasoning
by which he convinced himself that
he could afford to take the risk. No
explanation of his act can be recon
ciled with the idea of sanity on the
part of the offender, and people are
left to wonder why man will some
times do wrong act contrary to
the teachings Of all the lessons of an
honest life, fitting him to give pref
erence to the right thing as both

GOLD in the Argentine Republic
is steadily and rapidly rising, the
price of it, at latest accounts, being
341. The governmental that coun-
try a few weeks ago attempted to
fix price for gold for the next two
years, but the law of supply and
demand cared nothing for the fats
of potentates or the ordinances of
parliaments. These practical re
suits of fatism should not be all

AN experiment is being made in
settling Oklahoma which this coun-
try will view with especial interest.
The land purchase in Oklahoma en-
titles every male member Of the
Sacs and Foxes, the Iowas and Pot
tawatomies to quarter section and
gives him freedom Of choice. He
cannot sell the land for twenty FIVE
years, but during that time he does
not have to pay any taxes. Surely
under these conditions the red man
ought to keep up with civilization,
for with free schools and text books,
the choice of the lands and the best
agricultural machinery and stock,
the red man will have a bigger
stake in the country than the white
or black. This is the first practical
attempt to get rid of the Indian
question by industrial education and
assimilation into the civilization of
the country and it is to be hoped
that the experiment will prove sue
cessful.

Tin Plate Is Made in America

Last week the TELEGRAPH oUR-
Ter made editorial comment in ref
erence to the manufacture Of tin
plate in America and asked the
question, rs tin plate manufactured
in American We have taken some
pains to inquire into the matter and
if possible, gain personal information
upon subject which interests every
voter in Kenosha. Democratic ed
itors have constantly misrepresented
the facts in relation to this matter
and seem to take delight in denying
the fact that a new industry has been
created in this country. In response
to a personal letter to a business
man in Apollo, Pennsylvania, in ref
erence to the letter read by Gov.
Campbell in his Ada (O) speech, We
are in receipt of the following:
APOLLO, Pa, Oct. I6, 1891.
r. II. Hall, Editor zelegyabh- Coay-
Ter, KenOsh0. Ms:
The person who wrote the letter
read by Gov. Campbell, of Ohio, on
last Thursday, must have been very
small turnips. The car loads of tin
shipped away by Laufman & Co., of
this city, could never have come
from 7xo mandatory, as the let
ter stated. The mill across the
river where the tin is turned out is
1oox2oo #. in length and breadth
and employs about $50 men. The
works on this side are 100 feet long
and go to 40 in width while 80 to 50
men are employed. And more than
that, Apollo citizens, if no others in
the world are enjoying the benefits of
the tariff beyond all comparison.
Apollo without an iron mill would
still be few houses in the centre of
a clearing. The man who tries to
stab home industries in the back like
that ought to be lynched. Both tin
and terne plate are manufactured
here. Latter is made of a compost
ton of lead, tin, &C., and is special
ly designed for roofing.
Very truly,
M. H. COCHRAN.
Does Mr.. Cochran who is an old
resident of Apollo, know whether or
not there is tin plate industry in
his city, or is he telling a willful
falseilood7 General denial is the

and who occupies untenable ground
in his argument, but here is a direct

| DINERS there has been little or no progress at
all. Northern Georgia is raising a great

"hat was raised wenty years ago, and even
III M1oole Genr ere has been consider
aole progress IN &c out certainly the atten-
tlon given this department of stock raising
Is nothlDg compared TO what it should be.
Inc raising of cattle and hogs is yet in its
INFANCY In this section. We say nothing Of
sneep, for the people still prefer worthless
ours to sheep
we firmly believe, and we have Just cause
TO believe, that before another fifty years
pass by the southern states contiguous to
the Atlantic will be one of the greatest
stock growing sections in the world.
The foundation will be Bermuda grass. or
It Will stand as the chief cornerstone, with
iucern, bur clover, johnson grass, Texas
blue grass, orchard grass, HUBS grass, rye
grass. meadow oak grass (oil cake), African
wheat, and a few others we might name as
auxiliary stones.
The sooner the southern farmers give this
matter their serious attention the better it
wlll be for them. Good pastures and plenty
OF hay must or necessity continue to be a
prime factor in the maintenance OF farming
on prosperous basis, and there never was
farmer who had just cause for regret that
ne had too much Of either. A system of
farming that relies absolutely on hoed crops
will sooner or later be found disappointing,
as many in the south must be able to testify
to by this time.

Manure for the Garden.

It is common plan for farmers TO save
each year the best manure from the barn
yard for the garden. But even this does not
furnish always just the right proportion of
different kinds of plant food. Stable MKT
ure usually contains proportionably more
nitrogen than is needed and less phosphate
and potash. A change to either or both of
these for single year often gives better re-
suits than will follow the regular dressing
from the barnyard. Wherever there is an
excess of vegetable matter these mineral
manures will be better than others for a
single year. Farmers who apply the con-
tents of their hog manure piles to gardens
should remember that ground thus MANFRED
should not be planted to cabbages, as it
often causes club root. 1t is mistake to
suppose that hog manure Is necessarily
richer than that from other stock. Hogs are
generally grain fed, and this makes their
manure rich. But if hogs are given only
grass their manure is onlyworth more, as it
is apt to be less mixed with bedding or lit
ter. Fed in the pen hog deposits its ex-
crement in one corner, while other animals,
often accounted more clearly than the pig,
are not thus particular. This probably
gives rise to the popular belief that pig ma
nure is generally rich. Being nearly pure
excrement it heats rapidly, and thus con-
centrates what fertilizing properties 1t has
and makes them more Immediately avail

who has never been seen, and who cannot
be reached. is the only person who does

manner dig one hole for all the trees. Deep,
well-like excavations tend to Injurious &C
cumulation of water therein whenever the

or. II one must err at all, It is better 80 set

should be ample to permit all roots to be
placed in natural positions; cramping these
is a serious blunder. All broken and
bruised roots should be removed to prevent
disease, frequently caused by fungi at the

be mellow, finely disintegrated. and, when
ever possible, flbrous and stimulating.
This ought always to be carefully worked
IN by hand among the smaller rootlets, as
open spaces are detriment to the trees

be eucased in soil. Ramming the earth
gently answers an excellent purpose; more
trees are saved by this modern improve
ment than by any other known method.
During the first season slight mulch will
enable newly transplanted tree to become
established, and even make some growth.

good plan. Many operators prune even

Setting Out a Peach orchard.

you. In planting don't get them any deeper

with sharp knife. Then trim off clean all
the branches made in the nursery and cut

Lime In the Garden.

Lime Is one of those elements of the soil,
says w. E. f. in the Boston CultiUdtor,
which is essential to the growth of plants
and trees, and when it is properly used a
vast difference in the growth of the vegeta-
ton is noticeable, All farmers and horti-
culturists use it in many ways, but 1t is
probably as often abused as used. The full
and direct effects of lime upon plants under
all conditions have not yet been fathomed,
but enough knowledge concerning its gen.
eral effect is possessed for one to use it in
diligently on many crops. In the vegetable
garden lime is invaluable. 1t is the best
preventive and check for mildew on cucum-
bers and diseases of potatoes. As soon as
the cucumber vines show signs of the dis
eases the powdered lime should be sprinkled
over every part of the plants that are af-
fected, and the operation repeated after
rain so long as there are any signs of the
mildew, If one watches the plants early in
the spring, and applies the lime as soon as
the disease manifests itself, it will never be
allowed to make much progress, but some
times, in the case of plants being nearly
dried up with the disease, the lime will give
them new life and growth.
Potato stalks are often dried and eaten up
by diseases, and this can also be prevented
by an early application of the powdered
lime, sifted over the stalks with fine sieve
The work on the crop, however, must be
done early. If the disease is allowed to
progress so much as to half eat the plants
up the powdered lime has but little effect.
If the disease has shown itself in spots all
over the field it will pay to sprinkle the lime
on all the plants, even though no signs OF
the disease eau be seen in many places. 1t
will prevent a breaking out in new places.
MANY potato fields could be saved from par
tial or total destruction in this way II the
lime were used freely early in the season
Lime water is great disinfectant and de-
stroyer of insect life, and 1t Will be needed
in the summer time for many purposes.
Caterpillars and tree grubs and insects die
upon its application, and many orchards are
saved from great ravages by its use. Gar
dens and lawns frequently need it in the
spring of the year. 1t should be sprinkled
over the grass lawn just before rain, so
that the water will soak it into the ground.
The grubs and worms in the soil as result
will burrow far down in the soil to escape
its destructive effects, or crawl rapidly up to
the surface of the ground for air and sun
light The chickens should then be turned
upon the lawn to pick up the dead or
squirming worms and grubs. This Is the
most effectual way of clearing grass lawns
of this pest.
The flowers, plants and shrubs also need
lime water when infested by worms and
bugs. An application to the gooseberry
and currant bushes will drive the bugs and
ants away, and similar treatment OF the
flowers will make the snails and bugs SLIM
away to parts unknown. Ii the application
ia renewed occasionally the insects will con
tinually avoid the shrubbery thus treated
