We are in favor of protection to
certain degree, but we consider
that products Of the country that
are yielding the producer fair re-
muneration above the expenses OF
production, ought not be protected
and should be put on the free list
It is well known that wool is now
and has been on the free list since
Mckinley was knocked out, and we
now will cite one instance to show
why we think it should be kept
there, which, if we are rightly in
formed, can be verified.
A certain party who does not
live more than q thousand miles
from this city, leased 1000 head Of
sheep. about year ago, agreeing
to give a pound and half of wool
to sheep and give an increase of
eight lambs on the hundred and
keep the old stock good. This les
see was in poor circumstances and
the owner of the sheep furnished
him with the necessary means to
carry him through till after shear
ing, and then after shearing the
lessee refunded all advances made
by the aforesaid owner, and now
this fall the lessee is the owner Of
eight hundred head Of sheep Of
his own, has met all obligation &C
crued in running the sheep herd
and has more than enough surplus
means to carry him over another
shearing, which will not be until
next spring.
Now we ask you, gentle reader,
If you think tho sheep industry
needs any protection, while the net
profits are 80 large? We think
not. Yet we find wool mon asking
for protection on wool.

The SponSe,

For many centuries the sponge
was thought to be of the vegetable
kingdom, but learned men have
found thas it really belongs to the
animal kingdom.
Sponges are very elastic and con-
sist Of a frame work, composed Of
horny substance, having ma ny
little holes all through it, and these
are the stomachs Of the little ami
NAL through which water, air and
the little insects on which it lives,
pass, to furnish it with food and air.
Sponges are Of all shapes
round like ball, like a cylinder
and like a cone, and are sometimes
bottle-shaped. They differ in their
texture, being from very fine to
quite course.
The Mediterranean and Red
Seas are noted for their sponges.
They are also found in the West
Indies and Florida. Boys are
taught in their youth, to dive in
the water and gather sponges with
sort of fork or hook attached to
a long pole, that is made expressly
for the purpose.
When it is first brought up from
the depths, it is shiny and you
must remember it is live animal,
which is then placed in the sun or
buried i'll the sand, SO as to kill
the little animal, after which, it 10
soaked in water and then washed
to make it ready for market.
Nearly all are acquainted with
the uses to which the sponge is put,
but the French have taken the
felt OF the sponge and made cloth
which is used as the foundation of
the carpets and rugs they manufac-
ture. They also use it to stuff fur
niture. PRAIRIE FLOWER.

the roots they are the most relished
by our domestic animals. The par
snip contains more nutriment than
the turnip, and cannot be surpassed
for butter cows. 1t will produce
June butter all winter. Both will
flourish in a deep, rich, warm loan,
providing no coarse manure is ap-
piled. All roots require soil Of
fine texture. Putting the manure
or fertilizer in the drills has many
advocates, but we believe the prac-
tice to be a bad one. It will slim
ulate the growth and will often pro-
duce large yields in proportion to
the quantity of manure used, but
the qualities and keeping properties
of the roots are thereby impaired,
and the land will not be in such a
good or rich condition for the sue
ceeding crop. The finer the manure
and the more thoroughly it is mixd
with the soil the better. It is a
great mistake to apply all the rota-
ton to the root crop, as many
farmers do.
Ridging is good plan in wet
season and when the crop is deep
rootd, as cultivation is thereby IA
cilitated; but shallow rooted crops
will suffer in dry season for want
of moisture, and they should there
fore be cultivated as flat as posi-

raising ROotS.

1t has been said that farmers should
feed their fattening stock for their
manure, not for the beef or the
cash. Perhaps the same principle
will apply to root growing; it is not
the roots that are wanted SO much
as the cleaning, preparing and en-
riehing the soil for future crops
especially wheat. Roots in Eng
land are the corn Of the United
States, but our climate is more gen
eral purpose, and we can raise
great variety Of crops with more
than average success. Roots give
quality and healthfulness to beef
and dairy products, and one Of the
most effectual means of building up
a herd of butter COWS is by the ex-
tensive use of carrots and parsnips.
Per nut1itive value, the cost of pro-
duction is much less than that of
corn. A great deal has been said
about the varieties of soil adapted
to the different kinds Of roots, leav-
ing farmers to suppose that this is
a matter of primary significance;
but the modes Of preparation,
manuring, the methods of cultiva-
ton and the system of rotation are
of much greater Importance. BY
studying the feeding habits of roots
very few mistakes can be made, re-
membering always that some vari-
cites Of the same root are deeper
rooted than others, and therefore
feed more differently. Weight for
weight, mangels have the highest
nutrltive value among roots, and
the soil best adapted to their growth
is deep, loose, friable loan. Deep
cultivation is necessary, especially
for the deep rooted varieties.
Mangels have the property of feed
ing readily upon all the elements Of
plant food, and therefore a general
manure is best adapted to their
growth, providing the soil is equally
balanced in all the constituents of
plant food. Turnips, on the other
hand being shallower rooted, can
not get down to the phosphates in
the subsoil, and have little power
to absorb the portion which they
can reach. A dressing with su-
perphosphates or bone dust has
therefore been found beneficial to
turnips, and will save immense
quantities of farmyard manure, pro-
viding there is good supply of veg
etable matter in the soil. Turnips
take nitrogen very greedily, SO that
when heterogeneous manures, such as
nitrate of soda or sulphate of am
monia, are applied in large quanti-
ties the turnips run too much to leaf,
just the same as when the soil con-
tains an excess of vegetable matter.
Carrots and parsnips require
|about the same treatment. Of all

According to the latest dispatches
from Washington, President Cleve-
land will issue the proclamation
declaring Utah a sovereign state
on the 4th day Of January next, the
first state legislature will convene
the Monday following or the 9th;
if our meL.ory serves us right six
applications for statehood have
been denied and now after long
years of anxious waiting the hopes
of our people are about to be re-
allied.
The advent of statehood will
bring increased responsibilities; it
has it's many advantages and also
some disadvantages. We shall be
out from under the Immediate con-
troll Of the national government,
elect our own officers and also have
a voice in the election OF the chief
magistrate Of the nation and with
two y. S. senators and a represent
alive in congress, Utah will be a
power in the land, such an one as
has not been realized in the past,
with stability of government cap
ital will undoubtedly seek her Dor
ders and the manufacturing and
mining interests will be developed
as never before. Such has been
the history of other states whose
resources have not been compare
BILE to those of Utah. The consti-
tuition is document which reflects
credit upon it's trainers, and has
been acknowledged to be such by
authorities through the length and
breadth Of the country. The judi
ciary system is a complete one and
insures protection, a feature which
is Of the most vital Importance to
capitalists seeking remunerative
Investments.
The salaries of public officials
are low, ridisulously SO as it seemed
in some cases, but with the in
creased burden of taxation which
is sure to come at frst-they are
all the people can afford to pay
the adjustment of the fee system is
q blessing to any people
On the whole, Utah is to be con-
graduated upon entering the union
under auspices 80 favorable.
Hon. Edward Ell. Snow, senator
elect from this district, and Hon.
James Andrus, representative from
Washington county, are men in
whom their constituents can surely
trust their interests-we shall be

Effects of the Sunday Law.
New Orleans States, May %.
The strict enforcement of the
Sunday Law is In a measure res
ponsible for the arrest and incarce-
ration early this morning of three
men on the serious charges OF burg
larry. The plight Of the men is all
due to their unconquerable desire
for liquor. They were determined to
slake their thirst, but could not
find any means of purchasing 1t.
The trio then committed an act
which may eventually lead to their
Incarceration in the penitentiary.
Sidney Meyers, a motorman, re-
siding at the corner OF Laurel and
Milan streets; John Robinson, a
laborer, residing at No. 702 Napo-
leon avenue, and Joseph Dicks, a
carpenter, residing at No. 1913 Jena
street, are the men who were ar
rested this morning. Last night
between the hours OF z and IL
o'clock the trio, it is alleged, almost
depleted of its stock OF whisky the
barroom of Mr.. George Jurgens, at
the corner Of Napoleon avenue and
Tchoupitoulas street, known as the
Blue House. They watched their
opportunity and scaled q rear fence
unseen. The breaking open OF
rear window was the work OF but a
short time.
They entered the barroom and
carried off over dozen bottles Of
assorted WHISTLES. The men also
broke open the door of the barber
shop Of John Wittmer, which is
near by. They took nothing from
this place. The trio departed with
their booty and at IL 80 o'clock
Wittmer returned to his place and
it was then that he made the dis
covery that his establishment had
been entered, also the place Of Mr..
Jurgens, which he guards at night.
Wittmer proceeded to the Seventh
Precinct station and notified Ser
geant Aucoin, and Corporal Creagh,
accompanied by Officers BetbeXe,
Buckley, Davenport and johnson,
went out to search for the burglars.
Their search led them to the river
front and behind pile of slaves
they found Robinson. He was
hopelessly drunk and beside him
were two bottles of whisky and a
screwdriver.
The sleeper was awakened and
carted off to jail. The whisky was
identified by Mr.. Jurgens, and the
screw-driver by Wittmer. When he
sObered up, Robinson made
statement duplicating Dicks and
Meyers, and these men were also
arrested and incarcerated in the
station. They appeared before
Judge Michel this morning and
were placed under bonds to appear
for trial.
