ABOUT LEAF CURL.

An Explanation OF the Rapid Spread Of
the Destructive Disease.
The leaves and twigs are the only
portions of the peach tree which are
known to be affected by the fungous
disease popularity called leaf curl. The
chief cause of the spread of this dis
ease is doubtless owing TO the fact that
the mycelium is perennial in the leaf
buds, that is, it passes the late sum-
mer, autumn and winter months in the
tissue of the leaf buds. and in the fol-
lowing spring grows out with the de-
veloping leaf, multiplying more abund-
antly in certain portions than in 9TH
ers at times.
When the buds are taken for ''bud-
ding" young seedlings in the nursery,
if they are taken from an affected tree
the disease is quite sure to be trans

The elaborate provision for public
schools is striking characteristic of
state and territorial legislation in the

ultimate amount of her school fund at
somewhere between $50, 900, 900 and
$40. OOO, 900 Oregon's school fund is
now S., 500, 900. Idaho's school lands

one day have a large school fund, and
half a dozen other western states and
territories have many millions invested
for the benefit of such funds.

nJune of that year there appeared in
several of the Indiana papers the fol-
lowing advertisement:
MILITARY EXCURSION.

q summer visit to New York in July. viii please

panies TO join this pleasure party The battal-

days"
This vague announcement of a pro-
jected excursion did not fail to attract
some attention in New York. Several
of the papers referred to it in para
graphs, which briefly stated that the
militia Of Indiana intended to visit the
city during the summer.
On the 9th of July the superinten-
dent of police in New York received
formal letter from Indianapolis saying
that If the arrangements could be COM
pleted a regiment of Indiana militia
would visit the city on or about the
18th, and asked for the usual right 70
parade and police guard to clear the
streets At the time of the receipt of
the letter every man of the regiment
was in New York. The men of the
force were so widely and carefully dis

In a recent number of the Breeders
Gazette, Prof. w. A. Henry calls at
tention to the fact that low grades of
-four are now frequently offered at
prices that make them a cheaper stock
food than the wheat itself. Some
grades contain the germs of the wheat
grains, which can be detected in the
-four as dark spots due to the oil in
the germs turning color. These germs
are exceedingly rich in protein, the
most valuable part of food. For feed
ing horses, -four can be spread over
moistened hay. For cows it can be
fed in the same way, or over cut fod-
der, but should generally be mixed
with bran. For pigs it can be made
into slop, either straight or mixed
with cornmeal or other materials at

The impulsive general wheeled his
horse, galloped into the center of the
lawn and called, in a loud voice, as he
drew his sword:
Capt. Hawkins, mass your men.

storm the house"
Hendricks leaned against one of the
pillars of the balcony.
'E5 gu see," said the sheriff, resist
ence Is useless. 1t would be better to
surrender at once, as 1 propose to take
you now," and he made a motion to
draw his pistol.
Before he could get it fairly into his
hand, there was a sharp crack of a
rifle at short range and he half raised
himself in the stirrups and fell heavily
backward upon the horses launches,
the pistol falling upon the ground.
Hendricks stepped down and picked it
up as the horse reared and backed
away-and at that moment a crack of
firearms was heard and he went quick
ly back into the house and shut the
door.
AS soon as he got to an opening in
the barricaded window, he saw the
general wildly galloping up and down,
flourishing his sword and calling upon
his men to fall in. But many of them
were past falling in. Their bodies
were conspicuous by their uniforms,
lying where they had fallen in the
grass and the rest were budding con-
fusedly, running indeterminately into
the trees at the foot of the slope under
a murderous fire from all parts of the
house.

PROTECTION FOR a PURPOSE.

What Tom Reads Candidacy In 1893
WIN Mean.
1t now seems probable that Thomas
B. Reed or some other republican
leader suspected of being opposed to
McKinleyism will be the next presi-
Dental nominee of the MONOPOLY
party.
Reed is said to represent that eIe-
ment which wants moderate protec-
ton, or, as some of the Maine con-
CHEESEMAN'S admirers define it, "a tariff
which will exactly measure the differ
ence between American and European
wages"
This, of course, Is confession that
the republican party has heretofore
been legislating profits into the pock-
cts of manufacturers instead of wages
to workingmen. It is, moreover, 3
confession which will involve protec-
tionists in more serious complications
should they attempt to make their
moderate" policy q permanent one.
They will have some difficulty in ex-
planning, for instance, how the differ
ence in wages will go to employees and
not continue to stick to the hands of
employers. There is no special law or
virtue in a moderate tariff which COM
pels the protected class to be more
generous to wageworkers than when
they are operating under high tariff.
The manufacturers are the first re-
cipients of the swag, and If the swag
be a moderate" amount it is less
likely to be passed on to workingInen
than If il be large amount such as
Mckinley favors taking from con-
sumers In the latter case they might
be shamed into voluntarily dividing a
part of the plumber with the en-
ployes, but where the amount is small
the protectees would hold on to it and
look for more.
These moderate protectionists should
also explain their attempt to arbitrar-
lily fix limit to American wages If q
twenty-five per cent tariff raises
wages will not eighty or one hundred
per cent. duties make them higher? At
what point does a tariff cease to en-
hance the pay of employee and begin to
augment the profits of employer? If
protection" booms business and
makes workingmen prosperous Amer
leans will never be satisfied with the
miserable amount which measures the
nominal difference between wages
paid on two continents.
And what is that difference? Protec-

THE TAX ON INCOMES.
A Law That Is n Step In the Right DE-
rection.

A Law That Is n Step I'm the Right Dr.
rection-
The income tax law, IL is confidently
predicted, will by the present con-
gress be practically nullified by with
holding the appropriations necessary
to carry it into effect The wish Is
probably father to the thought; but
there is good deal of reason to doubt
the accuracy of the prediction. Those
who make it also predicted that Presi-
dent Cleveland in his message would
either recommend such a course or
show in some clear fashion his dislike
of the tax and the law. That predic-
tion was not verified. The president
said nothing whatever about the in
come tax law. II is quite possible
that the other prediction may fall
equally short OF verifcation- It GER
tainly should not be verified. Con-
gress owes to itself and to the country
the completion of the work it under
took in passing the income tax law.
Its failure to appropriate the funds
necessary to carry ont the law was q
blunder. That hlunder should be
reetifed. If the courts shall There
after declare the law unconstitutional,
as it is said the courts will, that is not
the affair of congress- It's duty will
have been done when the law it un-
dertook to pass, and supposed it had
passed, has been completed In accord.
ance with the clear intent of the Iegis-
lators.
The entire scheme of revenue for
the coming and succeeding years is
based on the collection of this tax; and
for that reason, if for no other, II
should be perfected so that 1t may not
be necessary to unsettle the business
of the country by the formulation and
discussion of any new scheme. 1t is
not an ideal method of raising revenue.

than once that it is in many ways one
of the most Objectionable methods to
which resort can be had for the pur-
pose; and chiefly because of the diff

He could see when the general turned
his head that stream of blood was
running down his face from a cut in
the temple and had dyed his white
whiskers.
Wounded as he was, the old general
succeeded after awhile in withdrawing
his men across the road to the opposite
ACTIVITY, where under the shelter of
some rocks, he reformed them and tried
to encourage them. His condition was
distressing one. He had lost, out of
a hundred and forty-four men, at least
fifty. He could not even bring them
all off and consequently did not know
if they were killed or wounded. The
sheriff was dead. He had no hospital
stores or stretchers. for it would have
required more than the ordinary mill
tary PRESENCE to have calculated upon
such a reception as this. However, he
did the best he could, and the first act
was to dispatch couriers to the nearest
telegraph station to summon assist
ing up his own horse to one of the
messengers.
What was his surprise about noon to
receive a communication from the
house. A man dressed like an ordinary
workman was brought into his little
camp by a picket and delivered the
following note with military salute:
To the Commanding Ohicer:
SIR: You can safely remove your dead and
wounded. If you are in need OF bandages
surgical assistance or medical stores, and will
send for them. they will be supplied until you
receive help from the state Respectfully,
OFFICER CoMMANDISG OPPOSING FORCES"
The audacious GOODNESS of this pro-
ceeding aroused the old general to an
eruptive state of Indignation. He tore
the message to pieces and ordered the
arrest of the messenger. Half an hour
later another arrived.
Il am ordered" he said, ''to say to
you that if you do not release the mes
senger a sufficient force will be sent to
take him"
Away with him. shouted the iras-
chile old general. IF he attempts to
escape shoot him."

Best Way of Feeding wheat.

The majority of reports commend as
the best and most economical way of
feeding wheat: To horses, whole,
mixed with bran or corn and fed dry;
to cattle. ground coarse, mixed with
one-third ground corn and fed dry or
fed in the sheaf; to milk cows. ground
and fed as slop; to hogs, ground
coarse, soaked and fed while sweet to
pigs or young growing hogs it is very
superior to corn in the production OF
bone and muscle. but for hogs being
finished for market one-third corn
added will increase the fat; TO poultry,
fed in the sheaf or whole cooked aud
mixed with bran.

tionists of the Reed type refuse TO con-
slider the relative purchasing power of
a dollar in America and of dollar in
England. They also carefully elm
mate from discussion tue well-known
greater efficiency of American labor
over that of Europe, a factor in itself
sufficient to account for any real diff
ference there may be in wages paid.
The average American mechanic
bears the same relation to European
worker as does a modern mechanic to
one out of date. The improved ma
chine usually costs more than the old
one. but it is always more economical
to its owner, just as the higher paid
American is less expensive TO the man
hiring him than is the European to his
employer.
Farmers now use self-binding har-
vesters to do the work which was once
performed by the old-fashioned cradle
and manual labor. If congress were
called upon to pay to each self-binder
purchaser a bonus representing the
difference in cost between the old and
new instruments it would be doing
for farmers what for thirty years it
Farmers who use modern machinery
ask for no protection" against their
less fortunate neighbors who struggle
along with Anticipated tools. They
know that if government pap should
be doled out at all it ought to be given
to the men who use cheap machines
and cheap labor. And yet majority
of American farmers continue to be-
lieve with a religious zeal that rich
manufacturers using improved ma

to be protected against their European
rivals using slower and less effective
machines (''pauper" laborers).
Tom Reeds candidacy in 1896 will
mean the emphasis of this wages lie.
Mckinley has not been averse to ad-
hitting that some of the tariff profits
should go to the manufacturers. In
fact. he invited the mill bosses to
Washington to write the bill which
bore his name. Presumably. Reed. if
elected, would invite laboring men in
proposed protected industries to come
to the capital and write the tariff
schedules.
That is what workingmen should in
sist upon doing. should moderate"
protection win in 1896. But they
should also make certain that the tariff
profits are delivered to them direct.
Manufacturers should not be permit
ted to handled the money because. ac-
