HERE 1t Is again. The studies of the Yer.
mont Experiment station show that while
the loss from oat smut ~ from to II per
cent. of each years crop In the country at
large, as reported by the United States ne-
partment of Agriculture, and while In 81 me
of the western states 1t rurs up as high a. ID
per cent. In Vermont It Is little less than
ONE AND ONE-HALF PER CENT, and
the worst case found was only ~ per CT mt.
Nay more, most of this loss is due to. the use
of western seed. The average of all cases re-
ported where Vermont seed was used shows
less than per cent. of smut. There Is big
volume of facts like this that are yet going to
receive their proper attention. The Expert.
ment stations bulletin adds:
Recent experiments have shown also that
dipping smutty seed oats for few minutes
IN hot water destroys every smut spore and
insures crop free from smut. Each man
can arrange details OF treatment recording to
his CONFERENCE.-The following method IL
simple and good: Have large barrel half
full of water heated to 135o-140o. Put half
q bushe! of oats in fertilizer sack and I'M
merse Ia the water, stirring them 20 that they
heat through alike; keep your Thermometer
in the water, and II the temperature remains
about 1859 take the oats out at the end OF
five minutes. If 1t falls lower than 1852 let
them soak longer 90 or even 10 mlnutes).
There Is reason to believe that this treat.
ment not only destroys the smut but actually
improves the seed.

THE Minnesota legislature has been having

figure. The legislature summoned the agent
to produce bis books and when he refused got

the Legislature to give up the books. That
body defied the court to do its worst. Then

and seize the bodies of the two men and take

PRESIDENT GEO. L. CONVERSE of the Ma.
tional Nicaragua canal convention, has S. nj
out circular letter to the delegates, which
shows material modification of the scheme
as originally presented when 1t meant nothing
but repetition of the jobbery In the con-
struction of the Pacific railroads for which
the country Is now paying. The plan pro.
poses to wipe out the present company cancel
all its stock, bonds and obligations, and or
ganize new company which shall have $12,-
000 600 of the stock In return for the cor
cessions, land grants, rights and properties,
while SS0,500 900 shall be issued to this gov.
eminent, S6,O0O000 to the government Of
Nicaragua. 81 800 900 to Costa RIca, and the
money shall then be raised for the constl uc-
tion of the canal by issuing 500 100000 of
bonds guaranteed by the government. In
other words the stock will be bonus. and
the enterprise doubIy capitalized. The new
company shall have Is directors, 10 of whom
are to be appointed by the president of the
United States and confirmed by the senate,
more than five from any one political party;
one each 10 be appointed by the republics OF
Nicaragua and Costa kica, the remaining
three to be elected from among the stock
holders, the president of the United States
voting the stock held by the United States
treasury, which constitutes four-ffths of the
whole. This would make the governments
interest as secure as possible and Is the only
way to do that, except by government own
ership outright. The objection, aside from
the stock watering In the plan, is the funad
mental one of governments engaging IN
business enterprises anyway. There are
strong reasons, strate gicallv and commercial
Iy, for departing from this general principle;
but II 1t is to be done. the government had
better be sole owner, rather than a part
nes and had better buy out the rights and
concessions for cash rather than by the issue
Of watered stock.

It's pleasure for me to say to the farmers OF

Bradley's l. Superphosphates for period OF
twenty years, and my experience has been that
there is no fertilizer sold that equals Bradley's
x l.. In the many experiments made by me on
corn, potatoes, and grass, Bradey's has led
nearly every time. 1t hastens the crop Increases
the product, and enhances the value of the crop.
Bradley's Fertilizers iare especially adapted to
early market gardening. As a top dresser there
IS nothing better, If applied just before rain,

of commercial fertilizers by not properly APP

EX-MAYoR HEWITT of New York, like the
late Judge David Davis and numoer o.
other noted mIionaires, has got to be quite q
socialist In his views. In an address at the
formal opening of the new United Charities
building at Twenty-second street and Fourth
avenue in New York last week, he laid II
down as an 'slncontrovertble proposition
that:
| Society is bound. first. to provide for the
poor second, to institute legislation which will
| tend to lessen poverty and crime; third. to ct.
| feet these objects society has the right to re-
sort to taxation, and this taxation may be Inn
posed upon property, either uniformly or DIFF
| feIentially a. the judgment and conscience or
the community may decide. In other words,
the super fluous wealth may properly be made
the subject of dlfferential taxation, and thus
made to contribute towards the cure OF Its
twin brother the evil Of paupersm
This Is Henry Georgeism exactly, though
1t was only few years ago that Mr. Hewitt
ran for mayor against George, because he
was regarded asgthe best exponent in the
city of individuallsm t. fight the George doc
trines. In SwitzerlaD where so many OF
the new ideas Of government are being tested
of late years, there Is practical application OF
this principle OF differential taxation in sew
eral of the canlons. The most thorough ap.
picstion is found In Vaud. The realty Il di.
viled into three classes: The first includes
properties under $4,000 In value, the second,
properties between $4,000 and $4,000 In
value. and the third those over $4,000. The
amount OF the tax Is fixed yearly; and the
rate at present is S. per $4,000 for the first
class. $3.50 per $5 900 for the second, and 80
per 5000 for the third class. Personal prop
erty is divided into three classes, personally
proper, incomes and usufructs, and proceeds
Of labor and each Of these is again divided
into seven classes, the tax per $500 rising
from $40 to $40. Thus man with salary
of $4,000 would pay $500, with one Of 3d.
500. $3.50, and with salary Of $500. $40. The
result has been an increase of 100000 In the
revenue, which the Radicals point to as a
justification of the system. But It Is contended
on the other hand that the fiscal gain Is more
than counterbalanced by de probation ia land
values and injury to trade. Many proper.
lies have deprecated 80 per cent. II is claimed,
and business suffers correspondingly. At
least the apparent working Is SO unsatlsfrc
tory that the proposal to lntroduc, the system
In the canton of Berne was rejected over
whelmingly In recent referendum, even
while the Radicals who proposed Il were re-
tanned In power by very large msjority.
These socIalistlc theories always look at,
tractive on paper, but the trouble has always
been since the world began TO apply them
practically. There Is q duty, as Mr.. Hewitt
says and as Jesus taught, for wealth to care
for poverty; but 1t must be the work of
growing benevolence and love for fellowmen.
