Secretary Testers Statement for the Month
of April.

New Orleans, May 2.-The movement of
the cotton crop as given in Secretary Hes
tcr's monthly New Orleans cotton exchange
statement issued this morning shows that
the amount of cotton brought into sight
for April was the smallest for that month
since 1890 The deficiency which at the
close of March was 2.3o67 compared
with last year, and 1.SSJ, J4S, compared
with the year before, has been increased TO
2,430,595 under the former, and 2,O09. 397
under the latter The total number of bales
which We're brought into sight during the
month of April was 1878 against 271,-
SIC in April 1892, and 314,62G in April
1891, decrease from last year Of 73.79S
and from the year before of 116,S4S. The

purchaser to believe that the fertilizer con.
tains more than per cent Of nitrogen; more
than he is asked to pay for. AS II rule, 1t will
contain rather less than per cent.
Let us apply this piece OF thickness to
other transactions. A farmer desires to sell
his farm GLOW many acres do you guarantee
the farm to contain?' asks the applicant.
He receives the answer, II guarantee 1t to
contain from 100 to $50 acres Would 1t be
wise to purchase the farm on the basis that
it contains more than 100 acres?
If the manufacturer or cOmpounder OF con-
centrated fertilizers mixes his materials
thoroughly, it is an easy matter for his
chemist to determine from samples just how
much nitrogen they contain. A guarantee OF
"from three to five per cent" OF nitrogen
means either that he does not know how
much II contains or that he hopes to induce
the belief that ic may contain from one to
two per cent more than is rcckoned IN the
price asked for It. AS farmers become
familiar with such tricks, manufacturers will
cease to add the deceptive maximum guar
antee which guarantees nothing on their part
except ii may be a willingness to take
mean advantage of the purchasers ignorance.
lust the same caution may be emphasized
against ammonia. potash and phosph0ric acid
The purchaser has right to know whether
the phosphoric acid is in the form of bone
or mineral phosphate, and whether the bone
is fine or coarse. lie should know whether
the potash is muriate sulphate, as the
latter is worth a cent pound more than the
former If the form Of actual potash is not
stated then the purchaser has right to
assume that it is in the form of muriate.
History of Guano.
Guauo was first imported into the United
States at Baltimore In 1892. and in that and
succeeding years used by planters of
MARYLAND and other southern states. 1t was
introduced into England by the earl Of Derby
in 1871.

Keen the Stable Clean.

Next to good and regular feeding there is
no more important matter about the win
ter dairy, to be looked after, than it's san
itary condition; not to be looked after by
fits and starts, but a uniform, every day at
tention. While the stable should be kept
clean at all times of the year, says John
Gould in Practical Farmer, the winter sea
son is yet more important, as the cows are
confined in them the greater part of the
time. If the stable boy gets the habit of
keeping the stables tidy early in the sea-
son he will be apt to keep it up through
the winter. TO keep the stable clean means
more than taking out of the contents of the
cutters each day. 1t means keeping the
stables dry, free of smells and supplied
with fresh air, that the COWS are in q
healthy atmosphere. The stable floor should
from ono to four feet above the ground,
and the graveled cemented floor subSti-
tuted. The Old style floor with it's cavern
of winds and abode of foul odors beneath,
has had it's day, and should be relegated to
the past, III oil wel-appointed stables where
winter milk cows are confined There
should be a generous using Of dry leaves,
straw, etc, in the stables, absorbents in
the cutters, and where plaster cannot be
readily had dry road dust should be
sprinked in the cutters daily. Milk is
made from the blood of the cow. Blood is
purified in the lungs of by the inhal-
ing OF fresh, pure air, and If the air Is
loaded with impurities. how can the blood
be thoroughly oxygenZed? OF course it is
more work to keep stable tidy than to
simply clean it out, but then no reader will
think Of stable work except by the best
methods, and this paragraph is for him to
read to his more Indifferent neighbOr.

A PORTABLE FENCE.
A Useful Thing Where Portions of a Field
AIRS, Desired for Pasturage.

A portable fence is one of the useful
things on the farm, especially where por-
tions of field are to be pastured in sue
cession, or where only part of field is
used as pasturage for stock. AS ordi-
narily constructed. the portable fence is
heavy, unwedly. hard to move from place
TO place. and still harder to set up again;
or If made light to avoid this Objectionable
feature, it lacks the strength necessary for
a fence that will cffectually turn stock.
and it is also very easily overturned by the
wind. -.
The best portable fence in use in this
mart of the Montgomery county,
Ohio--is shown at Figs. l and 2. 1t is
nnpatcnted. the invention of practical
farmer. and appears to be about as near
perfection as any we are likely to find. 1t
is strong. yet light and easily handled, can
be easily set up or taken down, and is not
overturned by ordinary storms.

SUGAR PLANTERS ALARMED
At the Suggestion to Suspend the Bounty
Meeting Called.

New Orleans, May 2.-The sugar pant IT
ers, of Louisiana, have been alarmed VI
late by the expressions OF the northern
press on the subject of sugar bounty a all;a
especially by the declaration mace tnt'
week that the president had asked the az
torney general if it would be legal 10 :s sua-
pend the bounty at once without ""i'iha
for the action of congress. ~,
Accordingly, it has been decided 10 nolu
a convention to dicuss the situation. Iro-
fessor S. w. Knapp, who presideu o.eI
the late state immigration convention anu
was chosen by the governor as a de M.
to the Richmond conference, has calied q
meeting for June 10th at New, Liberia OF
sugar and rice growers to take steps 10
fight the repeal of the bounty law unless
in return for its repeal the sugar duty IS
put on. The convention will prepare Il
statement showing the growth OF me suEar
industry under the bounty system, 'h ne
large number Of persons interested IN n lts
culture, the capital invested and the millions
of dollars spent in purchasing machinery ma;
in the north for it's production. The con
vetion will declare that if the bounty Is
repealed and the duty not restored tne
sugar industry will be ruined. A commit
tee of sugar planters will be sent to WASH,
ington to urge protection of some KIND ana
to secure the backing and corporation Oh

the subject every one, with but Ole eXcep-

The corn in the cribs has renewed the en-

received for cotton seed has strengthened
their finances and good fortune has smiled
on them i'll other respects. All these things
may tend to increase production, but YOU
may write it down to bring up against us
in the future if you can that products for

The panels are made of pine scantling,
2x3 inches The rails. above and below,
are sixteen feet long, with clear space OF
two and a half feet between them. They
are connected by an upright post at each
end, leaving four inches of the rail project
ing beyond the post to lie in the notchcs
of the support when set up. The upright
posts are four and half feet long. extend
ing six inches below the lower rail and Il
foot above the upper. The braces at the
center are each seven feet long, and are
placed upon the frame. making right
angle above, and. like the posts, reaching
six inches below the lower rail. Wherever
these pieces cross they are bolted together
with a quarterback bolt. Balbed wires
are stretched from post to post. fastened
also to the br. ces.
Vi In making these panels, barn floor is
the best workshop. After one has been
made to measure, it is laid fiat upon the
floor, the pieces of the next are arranged
in place just above those of the first. Il
nail is driven into each crossing to prevent
displacement while putting in the bolts,
and the work is finished by putting on the
wires before it is taken up. In this way
a large number of panels can be made in a
comparatively short time.

Irrigation Legislation.

We would like to see something done
by the legislature looking to the encour-
agement of irrigation enterprises in west
ern Kansas. The question of water sup
ply is an important and serious one. In
California. Colorado and other irrigating
states. the head of the irrigating depart
ment is a state engineer who is compe-
tent to assist in projects, advise as to
water supply. control methods of water
measurement and economy and who ap-
points water commissioners for each ir-
rigating district where necessary. The
government irrigation engineers passed
our state by in their recent Investigations
or SO neatly so that they have given us
no intimation on the all-important point
that of water supply. We would like
to see state engineer appointed who is
competent to determine whether there is
such thing as a reliable underfiow that
can be successfully tapped. We would
like to see him cooperate with the gov
eminent engineers who have gwen 20
much time to the subject, and we believe
that no measure could come up for legis-
lation that would promise larger returns
on the investment than the one we pro-
pose.
Let both parties in the legislature pull
together On this and two or three years
