PROTECTION IN FLORIDA.
Growing Sentiment Among the Plant
ers and Manufacturers.
Especial to The Times }

Especial to The Times.)
Linton, Dade Co., Fla, Oct. 21.-The In
dcations. as regards the State of Florida,
are that protection will be more of u factor
in the coming political struggle than Dem
ocratic managers have admitted.
This protection sentiment is particularly
strong along the east coast, that section
which is Just now booming and which is
being rapidly settled by Northern people.
The protection sentiment is also dccp-rooted
in the native Floridian. He has oranges,
lemons, pineapples, vegetables and cigars,
in the production of which he demands ex-
emption from foreign competition.
Pineapple planting is practically cpl
deInic in Southeast Florida, and nearly
every planter, whom The Times correspond
ent has met. is clamoriug for tariff OF
two and three dollars a crate against the
pineapples of the Bahamas. OF course.
the planter knows that he has started into
the industry in direct competition with
foreign growers; that the Florida pine
apple is Il finer fruit than its foreign rival
and that the labor cost of production is no
greater in Florida than in the Bahamas:
yet he demands protection. If he thinks
he is more likely to secure it under a
Republican than under Democratic ad-
ministration, and that is what he does
think, he is going to vote the Republican
ticket.
Although Florida will probably go Demo-
cratic, yet till election day, she must be
clasSed as a very doubtful State.

stood, that each plant requires its own
proper bacteria in order to succeed.
Sow the seed of foreign plant in
soil which does not contain any of the
germs of the proper bacteria and the
plant will fail. 1t may be that the rea-
son why cow peas failed, when tried
here in Vermont few years ago, was
the lack of the bacteria of that plant in
the soil where they were sowD. SO,
too, the i'll success of the Experiment
Station with horse beans may be owing
to this very same cause. But the germs
of the bean, pea, and clover root bacteria
are present in all our soils, so that there
need be no trouble in growing them.
Suppose you grow crop of red
clover and make it into hay. A ton of
clover bay contains about forty pounds
OF nitrogen, worth about SO, or nearly
as much as the nitrogen in ton of
commercial fertilizer is worth. You
may get two crops with one and half
to three tons to a crop. Then there
will be from forty to sixty pounds of
nitrogen left in the clover roots and
stubble. Now here's your nitrogen for
nothing. It's free; walk right up and
help yourselves. No need of paying
out your money for nitrogen when it is
all around you. Just SOW your clover
seed, and while you are working and
sleeping those wonderful bacteria will
be taking nitrogen from the air and
storing it up for your use. Of course
some soils are too wet or too hard and
stony to utilize in this way the nitrogen
gathering plants of the bean family
But there is no good reason why farm
ers on ordinary soil should not get
their nitrogen from the air.

The Story of
Puritana.

Prof. Dixi Crosby, NJ. D., IL. D.,
who for thirty-two years was at the
head of Dartmouth Medical College,
belonged to the famous Crosby family
of physicians, which for several gener-
ations has furnished more distin-
guishcd medical men than any other
family in America. His father was
DIR. Asa Crosby, of Dartmouth, who
medical society, of which he was for
thirty years conspicuous member;
one brother, DR.. Josiah Crosby, in
vented the invalid bed and the method
of making extensions of fractured
limbs by adhesive strips; another
brother, DR.. Thos. r. Crosby, was
chief surgeon in Columbian College
Hospital during the war, and later
professor of animal and vegetable
physiology at Dartmouth College;
while DR.. Dixi Crosby himself was
the inventor and discoverer of various
important improvements in medicine
and surgery, including q new and
unique mode of reducing metacarpo-
phalangeal dislocation, opening of alb
scess at hip-joint, etc, etc.
AT the early age of twenty-four his
extraordinary skill and successin over
coming disease had already attracted
the attention of medical men through
out the world, and won for him the
highest honors. His greatest achieve
ment was the discovery of an original
method for pcrfecting and compound
ing Il permanent form what has be-
come known as his "prize formula"
and which, under the name of Puri-
tana, is legally protected.
The foundation of this remarkable
medical discovery consists of simple
New England roots and herbs, and the
original family recipe for it has de-
scended to the long line of Crosby
physicians from their Puritan ances-
tors. Its peculiar vegetable compost
ton rendered it necessary to brew it
whenever needed in the early days of
its history, and after the scattering of
the Puritan families to remote locali-
ties, where the necessary ingredients
were not to be found, many attempts
were made to put it up in permanent
form, all Of which failed until Dr. Dixi
Crosby discovered means and methods,
the result of which is: Natures Cure
compounded in the laboratory of
Common Sense.

Current Weekly Comment.

MAPLE SUGAR AND SYRUP.-There has
been but little new sugar or syrup received
and choice small lots are bringing full
quotations.
OATs.-Receipts, 1872, 1872 bushels; stock in
elevators. 25,516 bushels; exports, SO,277
bushels. The market is well supplied and
the tone is easy as whole.
Eaos.-Receipts, barrels, 25,O91 cases.
The receipts have been liberal and there
has been large supply Offering. There
has been little change in prices.
PoTAToEs.-Receipts SO, 500 bushels. The
receipts are still heavy and stocks have in
creased considerably. The demand is slack
and prices are ruling lower than ever.
BEANs.-Receipts, 1899 barrels. There
1 has been full supply of all kinds offering.
The demand shows no signs of improve
ment and the tone of the market continues
dull and weak.
CORN.-Receipts, AZ, 662 bushels; stock in
elevators, 43, 938 bushels exports, 100 bush
els. There is firm tone to the market
with offerings moderate. The demand is
quiet, but is sufficient to keep arrivals well
cleaned up.
PoULTRY.-Receipts l, 764 packages. The
receipts continue moderate but the demand
has also been light. Fresh killed turkeys
are about out of the market. Choice soft
chickens are also scarce. Fresh fowls have
been in good supply.
CHEEsE.-Receipts 32 683 boxes for ex-
port, 81 ,160 boxes. The demand is light and
for small lots, but stocks of strictly tine late
made are moderate and are working out
slowly at about former prices. Fair to good
grades are dull and easy.
FLOUR. - Receipts, 21,047 barrels, 5000
sacks; exports, 48, 092 barrels, 1914 sacks.
The market shows no new features, the eff
feet of the combination on prices being that
little is selling. Buyers look with disfavor
on the combination and will only take what
they are forced to have.
HAY AND STRAw.-Receipts, 81 cars hay,
SO cars straw. Choice hay maintains drm
tone and buyers in need of supplies are pay
ing full prices. The supply of grades be-
low the best is liberal and such yet sell
slow, with values favoring the buyer. Rye
straw is quiet; oat straw Is dull.
BUTTER.-Receipts, 690,S32 pounds; ex-
ports, $500 pounds. The receipts have
been a little lighter the past week, but
there was some stock left over and the sup
ply offering has been more than enough to
meet the demand. Buyers, as usual at this
taking only such small lots as are needed
for immediate use. Grades below the best
are dull and easy. Fine new Northern
dairy has steady sale, but under grades
are dull.
LUMBER.-The demand for short lumber
of all kinds is Of fair proportions. Clap
boards and shingles are both firm, which is
mainly owing to the fact that they are not
plentiful. Desirable clapboards are readily
The outlook in boards is quite as good as it
is in short lumber. The supply Of spruce
boards is not large, and any considerable
demand would put prices up. Pine boards
are less active. Box boards are quiet and
prices are easy in consequence.

All common green folders, all the
common kinds of hay, all the ordinary
root crops, and all the common kinds
of straw contain more potash than
phosphoric acid-generally from three
to four times as much. The seeds of
grain contain less potash than phos-
phoric acid. To illustrate this point
more fully, suppose you grow crop of
potatoes, then one of wheat, then one
of oats, and then one of hay; for every
pound of phosphoric acid you took
from the soil you would take very
nearly three pounds of potash.
Manure consists of such varied sub
stances and is in such different condi-
tions that there is great difficulty in de-
termining its composition. We should
expect from the analyses of feeding
stuffs that stable manure would be
richer in potash than phosphoric acid,
and analysis shows this TO be the case,
there being on an average twice as
much of the former as OF the latter in
different samples of common farm ma
nures. But the potash, as has already
been noted, is largely contained in the
urine, and where this is wasted the
manure will be proportionally deficient
in potash. One great reason why ma
nure that is kept covered and the liquid
saved by absorbents is richer than that
thrown out without. protection is that
there is more potash in the covered
and well-cared-for than in the other.
The nitrogen, too, is easily lost, and
farmers cannot be too careful In guard
ing against this waste. After making
experiments to test the matter, Pro-
fessor Brooks of Amherst says: With
ordinary barnyard or stable manure for
coro, use potash. | would recommend
using about four cords of manure and
100 pounds of muriate of potash per
acre"
LACK OF POTASH IN COMMERCIAL
FERTILIZERS.
Probably the most common reason
why fertilizers fail is because they do
not contain enough potash. On light
soils, especially, are large amounts of
potash needed. Land which is greatly
benefited by ashes, is usually deficient
in potash. If you have such soil on
