TILL THEN WAIT.
When We Know the Traitors Then
We Will Get Genuine Tariff Reform.

To the Editor-Sir: I wish to say
few words in commentator of the course
The Sentinel has taken on the tariff
question. Regarding the action Of the
United States senate, or rather the IN
action of that body, The Sentinel has
taken a noble stand on this subject,
which l heartily indorse. We do not as
faithful democrats take the outspoken
interest in this matter that we should.
Every time democrat cries out Let US
have every pledge of the Chicago plat
form fulfilled and redeemed say we
want the Wilson bill pure without
Flemish. 1t is not what we expected,
but it would satisfy if we could get it
in its present butchered up and mangled
would write his own views to our SEN
ators | am sure the above would repre-
sent ninety nine-one-hundredth of them.
This reform must come, if not now, when
we come to know the traitors in our
ranks; then we shall know who to return
to the senate; then we shall have tariff
reform as advocated by father-Grover
Cleveland. To rule or ruin is as bad in
its effects as rum, Romanism and re-
bellion. Hoping for the welfare and
progress of The Sentinel and the ulti-
mate victory of the democratic party ard
principles; hoping those few lines, but
badly written, but in faith. will appear
in the columns Of the good old Sentinel
so the people viii know how I stand as
one faithful democrat, and you Will find
my name on The Sentinel record, L am
yours truly, JAMES JAhbOE.

Fattening Lambs.

The Michigan experimental station re-
ports some very interesting experiments
in fattening lambs. The animals used In
the experiment were sired by a Shrop-
shire ram on common grade Merino ewes.
Such lambs are excellent feeders. and
they were further prepared for feeding by
being turned Sept % on a fifteen-acre
field of rape, where they remained thirty
five days and gained fifteen pounds each.
and were thus in excellent condition
when put up Nov. 30. The feed con-
tinued 119 days. In this time ten lots
Of lambs, mostly in lots of ten. made
an average gain of a trife more than
two and a half pounds per head per
week.
The largest gains were made by lambs
having a ration Of whole corn, one and
one-half pounds with one pound of ruta-
bagas, and what clover hay they would
eat. The next largest and most profita-
bic gain was made from a ration of four
fifths Of pound Of oats. with seven
tenths OF a pound of rutabagas and
what clover hay they would eat As the
fattening progressed more grain was
eaten and less hay. One lot was given

Wheat Crop of 1909.

The January report of the department
of agriculture estimated the wheat
crop Of 1898 at 396OO0.0OO bushels. The
Cincinnati Price Current, one of the
most reliable trade journals published,
regards 100000. 600 bushels as a moderate
estimate Of the crop; this is $4,000. 600
bushels above the government report
Tt characterizes the government report as
the most faulty one ever offered from the
government bureau. The question
whether the department has under
estimated the crop Of 1898, as it did in
1891 and 1892. is to be investigated. The
senate has adopted the following reso-
luton:
Whereas, A number of leading COM
mercial newspapers. like Bradstreet's
Weekly, the Cincinnati Price Current
and many others, persistently dispute
the reports of the agricultural depart
ment relative to the yearly wheat crops
Of this country and its estimates of the
amount Of wheat in this country at diff
ferent periods, usually largely increas-
ing the quantities beyond those pub
lished in the reports and estimates of
said department; and
Whereas, Such printed statements
from unauthorized sources largely con-
troll the market price OF wheat, and
thereby reduce its price to American
wheat producers, to their great injury,
if the reports and estimates of the
agricultural department are correct;
therefore,
Resolved, That the secretary Of agri-
culture be and is hereby directed to
send to the senate at his earliest con-
venience:
Il. A statement Of all the wheat, in
GLIDING the visible and the invisible,
there was in this country March 1, 1893.
together with the entire wheat crop
harvested In this country during that
year.
-. The amount Of wheat that has been
used for food and seed purposes between
March I, 1898, and Feb. l. 1894: the
amount Of wheat that will be required
fo- like purposes in this country be-
tween Feb. l and July /. 1894. together
with the amount of wheat and flour as
wheat that has been exported out Of
this country since March 1, 1893, with
the surplus available for export be-
tween Feb. 1 and July 1. 1894, after de-
Quoting the above from the estimated
surplus March l, 1898, and the entire
wheat crop OF that year, according to
the latest information and most reliable
experience found IN his department"
The resolution courteously assumes
that the departments figures are cor
rect. but it will lead TO a searching in
vestigation of its methods of crop re-
porting. II the departments estimates
are correct. the price of wheat has been
depressed by the statements in the trads
journals, greatly TO the injury of the
producers. If the journals are right. the
department is responsible for the disap-
pointment in prices which the producers
have suffered. The forthcoming report
will be read with interest.

EUCHRED OUT OF 1T.
How Lovett of Anderson Was Treated
Mt the Republican Convention.

ut the Republican Convention.
ANDERSON, April .-SpeciaI-There
is much dissatisfaction in this county
over the result of the republican con-
vention at Indianapolis Wednesday.
1t now develops that Mr.. Lovett of
this city was deprived of many votes
on the first and second ballots which
were evidently credited to Mr.. Loveland
of Peru. This was done either through
confusion Of names or willfully, and IT
is difficult to determine which.
There is a similarity between the
names Of Loveland and Lovett, and
in the din and confusion incident to
the call of counties it appears that
Madison county's thirty-six votes were
credited to Loveland instead Of Lovett.
On the first ballot this gave Loveland
374 and LOvett 1885, when it should
have been Loveland 33S and Lovett S72
This would have placed Lovett second in
the race on the first ballot instead of
fourth, and how many other mistakes
there were of a similar character on the
first call is not known. 1t is believed
by Lovett's friends that there were
others.
Had he been given proper credit on
the first ballot Lovett would have ap-
peared as the most formidable candidate
in the race. With the prestige Of being
the second in the race. there is no tell
ing what would nave been the result
Of the second ballot Lovett had made
a splendid canvass. He was personally
known to a large number Of delegates
and every one conceded his ability as
a lawyer and n campaigner. 1t is now
firmly believed that had he been given
a fair deal. or had the votes cast for
him by the various counties been prop
erly credited he would have been the
nominee for attorney general on the sec
ond ballot.
LoveJt is not saying anything about
this matter himself but his friends are
feeling much chagrined. Madison county
stayed with Mr.. Lovett TO the last.

Large Hop Crops.

At a farmers meeting at Cobleskill,
N. Y, Mr.. James f. Clark, a successful
hop-grower, read a paper on the subject
Of securing large hop crops, from which
we take the following suggestions:
In starting hop yards, the speaker rec
commended the setting out of roots early
in the spring, so that they would get a
good start before the hot and dry wealth
er comes on. The ground should be thor
oughly cultivated and marked in squares
of six and a half or seven feet. The
roots from three to five in number)
should be set in holes that are drilled at
the intersection of the marks, deep
enough and trimmed out so as to admit
roots without crowding each other. The
roots should be slightly covered, as they
will rapidly sprout and come out of the
ground Each setting should be marked
by a stick set on the north side. so that
the line of settings may be readily seen
and so that the roots may not be dis
tUrbed in cultivating. Mr.. Clark urged
that the soil be kept mellow and free
from weeds by the free use of the Guilt
vator, which should be run three times
through each row. once a week.
Mr.. Clark recommended the use of
rotted manure upon the hills in the fall.
protecting the roots from the cold better
than coarse manure. A shovelful for
each hill is sufficient; too much manure
was injurious TO the plant. He pre-
ferred one pole (22 to 80 feeO for each
hill. with the free use of Irvine for tying.
training and supporting the vines and
arms. and that the proper use of Irvine
required object lessons and experience.
He favored high killing after cultivating
and grubbing. as it gave greater nour-
ishment and moisture to the plants. The
yard should be hilled twice each season,
first in June and second in July, and
completed by Aug. l. He recommended
the use of bone dust and potash mixture
in the hills
Mr. Clark said that unless his yards
average 1000 pounds to the acre he
thought the yield was poor. Some of his
yards averaged from 2 200 to 2.40O pounds
to the acre. and he had produced $500
pounds per acre. He urged the import
ance Of clean hops and said he had no
doubt the bad picking this year had been
a loss to the state Of cents per pound
of hops grown, or 81, 000, 00O
Mr.. Clark's system of storing. mixing
and baling was new and important, as it
insures a uniform quality TO the whole
crop. Instead of placing each kiln as it
comes along upon the pile until the
storehouse is full. as is usually DONE and
then commencing TO bale at the end of
the pile. he spreads the first kiln over
the whole surface Of the floor Of the
store-room, and spreads each successive
kiln over the whole surface, placing the
successive kilns upon each other like the
leaves of a book. When he begins TO
bale he removes the supports from one
of the layers and rakeS down the ends
of the layers or leaves and by these
means the successive layers completely
commingle and become a homogeneous
mass, and each bale becomes almost alb

defeated Judge Coffey, that element be
ing unfriendly to him on account of his
participation in the decision against
them in the Stehlin liquor case. It is
also believed that the county officers
organization contributed largely to his
defeat on account of the fee and salary
law decision. The vote was close and
was the occasion of much wrangling
the charge being made that the vote was
not correctly counted. 1t was as fol-

The Michigan agricultural college ex-
pertinent station now issues poster bulle-
tins, which are printed on cardboard and
arranged to hang on the wall. They give
information on subjects of practical in
terest TO farmers. The first bulletin
gives directions how to prevent potato
scab. as follows:
THE fact that the scab or roughness
upon potatoes can be prevented has been
demonstrated by actual field trials. It is
known that, while these spots may some
times be caused by insects, they are gen
orally of a fungous nature and although
the season, soil or variety has much TO
do with the amount of injury, crops are
seldom grown that are entirely free from
injury. In some cases the effect is so
serious that the market value is reduced
one-half
Not only is an increase in the total
yield secured by this treatment. but re-
ports have been received Of gains of 100
bushels of marketable potatoes per acre.
The expense should not exceed 10 cents
per acre, and in seasons when the dis
ease Is troublesome the volume of the
crop can often be doubled. as. with prop
er precautions, even when scabby seed
IS used, potatoes will be free from scab

lowed"
The directions on the back Of the card
are as follows:
Dissolve corrosive sublimate (bi-chlor-
ide OF mercury in water at the rate of
one ounce 10 eight gallons of water Il TO

sixty to ninety minutes.

peated use; If much stronger the sprout-

after which it should be diluted as
above
For soaking the seed a tub or half
barrel could be used. which would allow
the tubers in a basket or burlap sack to
be readily immersed. While the treat
ment can be given after the seed Is cut
il is better TO soak the whole tubers. If
treated much previous 10 the time Of
planting the tubers should be dried and
stored where they will not be infected
by the germs of the disease.

been treated with corrosive sublimate
there viii be no danger. II a solution of
two ounces in sixteen gallons of water
is prepared it will suffice for the soak
ing Of fifteen bushels of potatoes and If
more are to be used one-half ounce of
corrosive should be added and the loss

peated for each fifteen bushels treated. -

TAHLEQUAH, /. T., April 27.-By a fire
which started this morning and which is
believed 10 have been the work of an in
cendiary, the Capital city was threatened
with total destruction. The fire originated
in the immense livery stable of John w.
Wilson, in the Eeart of the city. The
building was quickly consumed together
with thirty valuable horses. A brisk wind
carried the flames across Main-st. and
the spread was rapid. The fire department
being equipped none too well, had an I'M
even fight, and for time the whole city
seemed doomed. In two hours however.
the wind died out. Soon thereafter the
fire was put under control but not until
fourteen business houses and one dwelling
were burned to the ground, causing loss
of $4,000 The insurance is light.
