Referring to the argument of a

FENCES FOR FARMS.

tho Best Material.

slAc IA sumo OIht - GAuOssotAOASs14y
tho Rest Material.
The growing scarcity or timber in
.ome parts of the country and its en-
tire absence in others make the fence
question a more serious one year by
year. Only in the newly settled heavy
tifnb ered land do we now see rails split
for fences. Wire in some form is al
most universally used for this purpose.
The woven wire fencing which is made
in various widths answers every pur-
pose of a fence, but it is too expensive
Tor general use. Wire and picket fenc-
ing does very well, but it is Liable to be
broken by unruly animals, and once a
rent is started it is soon of little use to
turn stock. Barbed wire, which COM
posed the original wire fences OF the
west, is cruel, and many a horse has
been ruined by being caught on the
sharp. knife-like points
There is way of making wire
fence, however, that is free from the
objections that have been brought
against the others. Plain, smooth gal
vanized wire, No. 10 or No. 10, may be
stretched tightly and fastened to
wooden posts, with a single six-inch
board at the top. Instead of the board
a common two l,y four'' spiked to the
posts may be used. From five to seven
wires are needed, according to what it
is desired to fence against The latter
mum Der put four inches apart near the
ground, and farther apart toward the
top of the post will keep hogs, cattle,
sheep or horses within the Enclosure.
The railing or board at the top is often
used on barbed wire fences, as the an
imals can see it more plainly than they
can the wire alone, and there is less
danger of their running against it.
Wire fences of any kind should be thor
oughly braced and very tightly
stretched, Or they will soon sag and
get out of shape.-E. e. lockwood. in

CRISP'S TARIFF TALK.
The Speaker Takes q Fall Out OF the
Mckinleyites.

The Speaker Takes a Fall Out of the
Mckinleyites.
In speaking on the Wilson bill in the
house the other day Speaker Crisp re-
linquished the chair to give his views
on the measure. Among other things
he said:
IT assume that the cause of protec-
ton has no more able advocate; / as
sumo that the arguments for protec-
ton can be put in no more forcible
form than that to which you have
listened to-day, and 1 shall ask you dis
passionately to examine with me that
argument and then ask the judgment
of the house as to whether the cause
attempted to be sustained can be estab-
lished consistently with right and JUS
tice to the people of the United States. "
Mr. Crisp declared that an examina-
ton of the protective system would
show that while it was built up for
the ostensible benefit of labor, it was in
truth constructed for the benefit of the
manufacturing classes He pointed out
that the wages of laborers in protected
industries went down and those in un-
protected industries went up as a result
of the Mckinley act This was shown
by the statistics gathered by the senate
committee on. finance. The speaker re-
ferred to the artificial conditions Gre
ated by protection.
1t took men, he said. from their natur.
al channels and diverted them to un-
natural channels. The same was true
in the diversion made in the channels
of trade. Protection was Chinese
wall which not only shut out the world
but shut in the United States
Mr.. Crisp said that the thirty years OF
protection was a period of unrest, dur
ing which the masses of the people had
constantly rebelled against the heavy
burdens of taxation. The people had
always been stilled at the polls by the
republican promises to reduce the tar
if, but once Successful at the polls the
republican legislators surrendered
themselves body and soul to the manu-
featuring classes The speaker pointed
to the Chinese as an example of what
had resulted from q protective policy
of hundreds Of years which had sought
to make China rich by trading with
herself.
Mr.. ,Crisp said that for twenty-five
wears the democratic party had been
krying to get into power. 1t bad told
the people that If given power 1t would
reduce the burdens of taxation. The
people had accepted this promise and
given the party power This tariff was
q redemption of these pledges to the
people. Il was not perfect bill, but
It was a step in the right direction
In referring to.various features Of tho
bill he spoke of an income tax. which
brought out long and loud applause
from the strong income tax element in
the house. He cited aspeech OF Sena-
tor Sherman twenty years ago to the
affect that q tax which fell heaviest On

consumption and did not bear heavily
on the wealth and incomes of the coun-
try was intrinsically wrong. Mr.. Crisp
supported the income tax in vigorous
terms. He said thirty million dollars
OF tax on accumulated wealth was but
small tribute in return for the benefits
it received Mr.. Crisp closed with an
eloquent appeal to his democratic as
sociates to waive minor objections and
to look at the great democratic princi-
piles involved. Let us stand together"
said he. Let us redeem our pledges

Experiments made abroad in the
manuring of turnips show the benefit
of supplement ting superphosphate with
either potash or nitrogen. With re-
gard to the action of potash, it is note
worth that in no case, where it has
been applied alone, has it had any
appreciable benefit; in some cases, in
deed, it seems to have an injurious
effect In all cases, however, when
applied along with superphosphate,
the results are most satisfactory, ex-
ceeding in some cases even those OBJ
tanned with superphosphate when
supplemented with nitrogen. With
regard to the action of nitrogen in the
forms of sulphate Of ammonia and
nitrate of soda, the results evidently
show these two manures to be possessed
of equal manurial value.
