They Feel It Too.

The secretary of state of Ohio has
received returns from the county audi
tors of sixty-two of the lightweight
counties, in which is given the selling
price of land and the amount Of mort
cages. From these returns it is found
that about one acre in twenty has
changed hands in the last year, and
that the shrinkage runs all the way
from 4 to 40 per cent, and that the
mortgage debts has increased $8,OOO,-
600. In a word the farmers are worth
less by $%5O,O0O,0OO than one year ago.
Ohio is n of the best states in: the
Union, and has no calamity howlers''
to speak Of; therefore, it may be CON
cluded that the farmers stayed at

cratic, and 10! they are not better off

Louisville, Ky. May 9.-The examin-
ing trial Of Fulton Gordon, who killed
his wife and Arch Dixon Brown a week
ago, vas up yesterday in the City
Court. Col. James Andrew Scott OF
Frankfort was present at the request Of
Gov. Brown. Marmaduke Bowden, on
behalf of the Bush family, said 1t would
take no part in the trial. There was q
hot argument over the admission Of
Gordon's statement to the officers after
the killing, Gordon's counsel asserting
that he vas in such a condition as not
to be able to make a. intelligent state
ment. The prosecution commended that
all h evidence went to show that Cor
don had acted coolly and deliberately
and that his confession to the police
should be admitted. Judge Thompson
took the question under consideration.

Two Years at Hard Labor.

Eau Claire, Wis, May 9.-Judge
Bailey at 1915 this morning sentenced
Harry D. McMaster to two years in the
state prison at Waupun with hard
abor. In his charge he used forcible
language. He declared that the only
way to suppress sue cases Of embez-
element was to strike at the root Of
public gambling. The Chicago board Of
trade, he believes, had caused more dis
tress, ruined more men and wrecked
more families han the civil war, yet it
was Endorsed by h ublic. and when
such men as Senator Washburn raised
his voice against it he was thrown
of office.

"Paternalism" in Toronto, Canada.

Pa~ternalism' in Toronto, Canada.
Toronto, Canada, has a population of
about zoe, 900. 1t sells it's street railway
privileges-not for Doodle, as our
American cities do, but to the highest
bidder at public auction, and as a re-
suit that city is deriving a large income
from the street railways, and enjoys
cheaper fares and a far better service
than under the old system.
No longtime franchises are granted,
but periodically the companies are
compelled to bid for the privilege of US
Ing the streets, which, as can be easily
seen, compels companies to operate
their lines for the accommodation of the
public.
At the last letting, despite the strin-
gent conditions imposed by the muni-
cipal authorities, three companies sub
mltted bids for the privilege of using
the streets, and as a result the city
receives $1,000 a year for each mile of
double track operated, and a graduated
tax on the gross earnings of 8 per cent
on h first million dollars, on the next
five hundred thousand dollars 10 per
cent, and so on in a progressive scale,
the rate going as high as 20 per cent on
all receipts over three million dollars.
The city determines the rate of fares,
ordinary tickets being sold six for rs
cents, or Is tickets for ST.. Tickets for
working people, good morning and
evening, are sold at eight for 25 cents,
while school children ride for two and
a half cents.
The revenue derived by the city from
this source is $125,O0O, a sum four times
as large as the revenue derived by the
city Of Chicago from it's street car
lines, and yet Chicago has ten times
the population of Toronto.
When it is suggested that it is posi-
BILE to have such things in this country
we have a class of people who are at
once seized with spasms of ~"paternal-
ISM" who lift their hands in holy hor.
ror at anything that would have a ten
dency to relieve the people of monopo.
listic burdens.
In spite of the fact that hundreds OF
cities in this country own their own
water works, gas and electric lighting
plants, and in every single instance
entire satisfaction being rendered, you
hear foolish people saying every day
THAT won't do; that's paternalism,'
and nine out of every ten of these PEG.
pie who are having the shivers for fear
we may have a little paternalism in this
country, wouldn't know it if they should
meet it in the road.

Congress met again. AS soon as that
able body of Sunday-smashers and
law-despisers met, they promptly ran
the expenditures up to the full limit
Of the taxes, and thus we have never
suffered since from the painful collie
of having too much money for our di-
gestion to cope with.
Mr.. Cleveland's brilliant statesman
ship showed to better advant-
age than when he struggled with the
dangers of tht Surplus and came forth
from the contest covered with victory.
He got rid Of the Surplus by giving
it away.
The Government had squeezed it out
of the taxpayers, and the President
made a gift Of it to the Privileged Glass
which pays no tax at all.
TO rob Peter to pay Paul is common
place ~rascality; but to rob Peter, the
taxpayer, to make a gift to Paul, the
bondholder, is an average sample Of
tatter-day craftsmanship.
IN pushing expenditures upwards to
mead OF another possible Surplus, Con-
gress rather over-did the thing.

and the stream OF national revenue
did not run SO bDunte0usly as Of

Successful Southern Trucking.

One Of the most successful truck far
mers in the Charleston district is w. C.
Geraty, of Young's Island, who, with
his partner, Mr.. Towles, cultivates $50
acres of vegetables, buys and sells Sea
Island cotton and conducts very success
fully general store" besides being
postm aster. They were very hard hit
by the cyclone two years ago and lost a
great many thousands of dollars. Some
say that as a result of this catastrophe
they were placed in debt to the extent
of 800, 900, and yet by their indomitable
pluck and energy this immense sum was
paid off last year and this year will put
them we'll ahead again. Added to pluck
and energy Mr.. Geraty has head full
of brains, which he keeps busy finding
out better ways to grow crops. He is
constantly trying experiments in fertil-
izlng and in modes of culture
An experiment he made last year with
nitrate of soda ought to be of great
value to all engaged in raising cabbages.
Mr. Geraty had regularly used on lis
cabbage crop 1900 pounds of Excelsior
fertilizer (analyzing per cent ammonia,
s per cent phosphoric acid and per

cent potash) and 1000 pounds of cotton
seed meal. The meal was broad asted
and narrowed in while 1000 pounds of
the fertilizer was used in drills and 500
pounds as a top dressing when the heads
were forming. But last year he tried
the experiment on one acre using in
place of the fertilizer as top dressing
500 pounds of nitrate of soda. The eff
feet was magical. Within three days
the difference in the foliage could be
distinctly seen, the nitrate making 1T a
much richer, darker green. The heads
on this acre were ready to cut much ear
lier and were at least one-third larger
than those treated in the usual way.
His average yield per acre on the field
that received no nitrate was 1876 crates,
was used gave him 400 crates. AS the
crates netted him ST. each, the use of
this 500 pounds of nitrate ia place of
the fertilizer gave profit of over $40
per acre. The moral seems to be that
cabbages want about all the nitrogen
they can get and they want it in form
in which it can be used quickly. This
year Mr.. Geraty is making some impor-
tant experiments with potatoes, trying
many kinds with different fertilizers =

Freight 81 Per Cent.

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
[ have watched with much interest,
everything that has been said in the AG-
RICULTURIsT relative to the returns of
the watermelon shipments from Florida
this season.
From the encouragement offered by
the railroads last winter, that low rates
would be made If the people along the
line would plant melons, quite a number
about here made the venture, and
enough were planted to have made sew
eral carloads.
The first Car shipped was to Cincin-
natl in June.
At the same date the Car arrived in
Cincinnati, quotations were received
here, of sales at ''15 TO 25 cents'' at that
place. The consignee reported no dam
age, or bad order, or short count, but
the report showed sales at S11.68 per 100
or very near to that The freight on the
car was just about 81 per cent of the
gross sales. The commission 10 per cent
on the whole of course,-that is the
shipper pays 10 per cent on the freight
as we'll as on what he gets for the paying
of it by the commission man out of the
shippers own money-and the magnif-
cent sum of "a per cent was returned to
us.
How the railroad company came to be
so generous as to allow so much to come
back to us, is the wonder, for the next
car that went out was after long time
reported mot received" which | sup

The Sunfower.

The suntiOwer, says d correspondent
Of the Orlando Sentinel, is popularity re-
garded as a cheap and comparatively
worthless plant, cultivated, perhaps, be-
cause the owner of the cottage is hardly
able to have other and more gaudy pre-.
tentious plants to ornament his sur
roundings. 1t is, to be sure, a some
what coarse. tall-growing and hardy an
nual, snowy, and, in suitable place, by
no means unattractlve. 1t was intro
duced from South America as early a
1896, and has at times been put to a
great variety of uses.
1t was found by experiment that a
bushel of suntiower seed will yield a gal
lon of oil, and that an acre of ground,
planted three feet apart in rows, Will
yield forty to fifty bushels of seed. The
oil is as mild as sweet oil, and equally as
agreeable on salads and as medicine.
The seed is raised with very little
trouble, and makes excellent chicken
feed. The sprouts are eaten with oil
and salt and bread is also made from
the seed and Cruel for children.

cellent food for cattle in summer and In
creases the quantity of milk in COWS. 1t
is also good for sheep, and the stems are
useful to support climbing plants and
serve for fuel. The seeds when roasted
have the flavor of coffee, and the in
fusion of them like tea makes pleasant
beverage. These important uses ought
to set people to thinking,
