Casey's Opinion.

In conversation with Senator Casey
about the senatorial situation, the gentle
man expressed himself as feeling that the
people of North Dakota should bring a
strong sentiment to bear on the legislature,
looking towards a speedy settlement of the
contest, says the Alert. The prolonged
fight is giving the state areputation abroad
not at all desirable. MIR. Casey expresses
himself as greatly surprised at the course
Congressman johnson has taken towards
himself, since his return to Washingto?
Mr.. johnson and the senator had a friendly
conference about public affairs, and it was
understood by the senator that whatever
i'll. feeling had existed on JOhnsOn's part
was largely owing to mutual misunder-
standings, and would in nOwise influence
Johnson against Mr.. Casey's election.

assessment is made of property. Blanks
are distributed to every house, to be filled
by its occupants. This system is known
as the progressive" tax scale. A, who
owns $4,000 worth of property, pays taxes
on only half Of it. b, who own $25,OOO
worth, pays taxes on eight-tenths of It:
while g, who owns 500, 600 worth of prop
erty, pays taxes OF the whole OF it. The
result is that G pays not the proportional
twenty-five times on the amount of AS
taxes, but fifty times as much. The income
tax is managed after a similar fashion.
The rich pay nut of all proportion to the
poor classes. They probably would not
change places with the poor. however,
even to save what they decry as unjust
taxation. The plan is not always a popular
one. Leaving every man to assess himself
has the disadvantage that the rich, with
stocks ana bonds, sometimes do not make
return of them. When a rich Swiss dies,
however. the government control of his
estate quickly makes amends for all his
past misdeeds in the way Of assessments,
and every penny of taxes is now deducted,
together with compound interest and fines.

producing no lint, but only seed, it
would long have been one of our most
valuable plants, | was not myself aware
that there was anything startling in this
mere fact. Yet the whole cotton seed
oil industry has been developed since
that date in 1880. The facts were then
and had long been known to but few
men Since then the facts have become
commercially known to the whole cOun-
try.
The facts about the peas, beans and
peanuts are now known in part to many,
but is there any general or effective
knowledge about the matter? Bean oil,
| have reason to believe, is the principal
oil Of China. Bean meal is great arti-
Gle of commerce in China, and has been
used to fcrtiliZc sugar cane in FOrmOsa
for centuries. Mountain rice, which
grows on the HimalayaS 5000 feet above
the sea, is we'll known in India, and is
cultivated without irrigation. The
mountain rice of Japan comes up

ton. | have procured the seed and

BEANS else the people would be starved
for the nitrogen or albuminOids, in which
rice is deficient. 1t is not true that we
as yet know little or nothing about beans
and rice, either in the department of
agriculture or among farmers in general
always excepting Yankee baked beans?
Among the food plants of India there
is one which every farmer of the South,
who knows even little about the nu
tricnt clements of food crops, will covet
when it is described. In India it yields
oil for men, and the cake is fed to cat
tie, while the refuse of the plant, being
rich in nitrogen, is returned to the soil.
1t is one of the lcguminOuS plants of the
pea or bean variety and is called in Hin
doc the Mungphullie or Buc-mung. The
pod is one and a-half inches long, each
containing two or three seeds, seventy
five of which weigh one ounce.
In these seeds there are the following
clements:

After the oil is expressed the cake con-
tains 4O7 per cent. of flesh formers and
7 per cent. of oil. If cut when the pods
are first formed it makes a most nutri-
tious hay. 1t is not attacked by any in
sect or parasite, and is fertihzed with
potash.
Another shrub pea universally grown
in India, often in the same fields with
cotton, is rich in albumen and starch,
but very free from oil. 1t is known as
