The American farmers who iTsi settled
this country learned much from Indian cul-
tivatOrs OF The soil. There was DO corn
grown in Europe unul it had been intro
duced from America. The Indians had sew
erai varieties, including pop corn and sweet
corn. They had also some excellent peas
and beans, and our best modern varieties
were Improvements On the stock which the
Indians supplied. They had also pump
kins. squashes and melons. Fish as fer
lilizer was an Indian discovery. The fish
too fat and oily for food were used - a ma
nnre, dropping fish in hole dug in the
ground, covering il with little earth, and
planting the corn over it. We make better
fish fertilizer now than this, getting rid Of
the oil, which has little manurisl value, but
the idea Of using fish as manure had never
occurred to Elropean farmers until they
found il practiced there.

The Sheep Question and Farmers Who
Have No Sheep.

According to the latest statistics there
are some 100000 sheep in the United
States. The amount of wool annually
consumed in this country will reach at
least 600, 100000 pounds. 1t is estimated
that it would require over 100, 900
sheep to supply the home demand for
wool; and then the American Economist
asks the important question: How does
this question affect the farmers who have
no sheep?" 1t answers the question it
self:
Every pound of wool imported is
equivalent to an import of the grass, hay,
corn, oats and other feed that make
wool. Thus, when wool is imported,
these farm products are in effect import
ed, to come in competition with the SINH
lar products of American farmers and
thus reduce the price and impair the
ability to %patronize mechanics. mer-
chants, growers, schools, colleges or
churches.
I'VE need an addition to our focks of
100000 sheep. With an adequate pro-
tectiye tariff for wool we will s0On have
this increase, which would make an addi-
tional demand for at least 4~0.G00,O00
bushels Of corn, or an equivalent III corn
and oats for stock sheep. and for 10000
600 additional mutton sheep probably
about 30.000,00 bushels more feed would
be required. 1t would make an increased
demand for pasturage, and thus utilize
