II Is not utopian to think that at some
future time the demands of commerce
for q continuous inland water highway
from Massachusetts, to the Gulf ports will
be met. Indeed it may be that future
plans for out coast defences will include
some such scheme. We are reminded of
this by the trip which the torpedo boat
Cushing is now making from Washington
to Key West. The orders are for the boat
to mako as much of this trip as possible
by way of inland waters and it is believed
the boat can do it without coming out
upon the open sea but twice and then for
comparatively short distances. The re-
suits of this trip will be valuable and may
be of more Importance than is now sup
posed. OF course the object Of 1t is to as
certain the feasibility of concentrating a
fleet of torpedo boats at certain points
along the coast by sending them through
inland water ways where they will be pro-
tected from any attack from hostile cruis-
ers. On the other hand along these
waterways arc many fertile lands, some
of them improved but many thousands of
acres, which would be improved were
there chance to market the products easily
and cheaply. The success of the Cush-
ing's attempt may lead to a quite extern
siye use of these water rou ties for trans
portatiou. Quite number of years sin CO
a tug was sent from New York to Chesa-
peake bay by an inland route. Now from
Chesapeake bay the Cushing will run
from Norfolk by canal to the sounds
along the North Carolina coast. From
Cape Fear river to Winyaw bay the Cush-
ing will have to take to the open sea and
a portion of the way along the Florida
coast will be outside. The Atlantic and
Gulf coasts of the United States afford ex-
cellent natural advantages for such ma
nuuvres and which it il now believed can
with comparatively little cost be put in
excellent condition.

overlooked, is that the states which would
suffer most fiom the tax arc those that
when the Constitution was framed,
possessed the great ports of entry. These
states surrendered to the general govern
ment the right to take the revenue OF
these ports in the way of imposts. In re-
turn for this the Constitution was framed
with view to make the government taxes
bear proportionately upon the several
states. The income tax, properly belongs
to the state as it is the state which affords
the protection. save from foreign invasion,
which such property receives.

1t Is suggested that the Sultan OF Tur-
key having denied the Armenian massacres
ordered his sheik liar to Ego tell 1t to the
marines. - 1t is regretted that American
marines should believe 1t but the report
from Admiral Kirkland is to the effect
that they did. The place where the Ar
menian massacrcs occurred is several
hundred miles from any port where Ad-
miral Kirkland could touch. There are
no means Of communication open to the
people of that region, whereby they
might, did they dare to do SO, communi-
cate with the American marines. TO pre-
tend that such Investigation is to be taken
as proof that no Armenian massacres oc-
CURED seems as ludicrous as it appears
shameful. However,, just what Kirk
land report will be is not known.

Borrowing Trouble.


1t pleases Democratic newspapers to
complain because distinguished Republi-
cans do not state more precisely in what
way they hope to solve the silver problem
They have one important disadvantage
compared with President Cleveland, be-
cause he does not hope to solve it at all,
and looks to gold monometallism and I'M
limited state bank issues as the only out
come worth fighting for But the Re-
publican statesmen have one great advan-
tage, since they can calculate with some
safety that their party will not vote to
wreck the country by unlimited coinage
of silver.
A further advantage they have in the
fact that the Republican party has mani
tested its purpose by repeated votes. One
critic complains that President Harrison
does not say something new, but his ut
terances prior to his election and while
he was President were explicit enough for
anybody who could read. Another finds
fault with Governor Mckinley, and anoth.

Estimates Of the wheat and corn crops
are, as given out by the SPECTATORS, indi-
cativc Of bullish tendencies In these
staples. The low price OF wheat In the
mast two years has had very disconrag-
ing effect upon producers but the demand
for corn at good prices affords no such
general reason why there should be
shortage of tho crop in this country. We
think it would be well, however, for Maine
farmers to raise moro corn this season
than last. This advice we think would
hold good werc the price OF corn lower
than It Is now.

BURNING OFF LAND.
QUESTION Does burning off the
land 1njure it?
ANSWER 1.-The following applies
with sucn force to some sections of our
own state that we give it space. hoping
it may serve as warning where the
practice of burning off the land is still
in vogue:
1.-THE practice of burning the old and
dry grass in unoccupied lands, in order
that younger and more tender growth
may give pasture to cattle is still com
mon in some of our states, and its re.
suits, though of benefit to few, are dis.
astrous to the general welfare. Nor is
it the grass alone that burns, but fire
communicates to the trees, thousands
OF which yearly succumb. Worse than
all, the humus in the sandy soil is
burned out and the future wealth and
resources Of the state are destroyed.
AT this day, and everywhere, may be
encountered tracts of utterly barren
and worthless land, in the midst OF
comparatively fertile, whose fertility
has thus been DESTROYED"
FERTILIzING WITHOUT NITROGEN.
QUESTION last year 1 fertilized
a held we'll with acid phosphate and
kalnlt, yet secured very poor yield.
Wlll you please tell me the cause of the
trouble?
ANSWER 2.-In fertilizing with acid
phosphate and kainit without supply.
ing nitrogen you failed to comply with
principle of plant growth 1t is a
law of nature that in the absence OF
any important element of plant food,
though the others be present in abund.
ance, yet the plant cannot utilize them.
1t is necessary for all to be present in a
suitable condition to be taken up. The
following apt illustration has been
used to exhibit how essential it is that
everything that is required by the
plant should be present in the soil. eff
farmer wishes to make q cart he pre-.
pares his wood and iron, gets them all
in proper condition, and then can very
readily put them together. But if he
has all the wood necessary and no iron
he cannot make his cart, because bolts,
nails and screws are required, and
their place cannot be supplied by
boards. d" Nitrogen also is the greatest
element to produce growth.
RABBITS GNAwING YOUNG APPLE TREES.
QUESTION 3.-How can prevent rab.
bits from gnawing my young apple
trees?
ANSWER S.-Bacon skin rubbed on
the trees, flesh side next the bark all
the way up from the ground to about
feet on the body of each tree, will
keep the rabbits off, This should be
done every spring.

POTATO BEETLE.
BURNING OFF LAND.

QUESTION How shall i fight the
bugs. of which l send specimen. and
which are said to be serious enemy to

ANSWER 4-The enclosed bug is the
Colorado potato beetle which, in many
sections of the country, has been very
destructive in the potato fields. 1t has
only in recent years made its appear
apce in north Alabama and north Geor-
gia, and east and middle Tennessee.
Paris green or London purple, both be.
ing arsenites, are regarded as the best
remedies.
In the dry form, use mixed in the
proportion of one pound of poison to
five of -four, and two of dry dust, fine
ashes or airslacked lime; apply with a
sitter or perforated pan. If sprayed or
sprinkled over the vine in liquid form,
use small teaspoonful to two, or even
three, gallons of water. Be very care
full in handling Paris green or London
purple, as they are deadly poison.
