Xew York Aug 18 The Commer-
cial Advertiser today prints the follow-
ing Interview with ex President Har-
rison at the houso of Cuptaln ttargnolt
at Spring Lake X- J Thursday My
position la a pecul ar one It Is hard
for people to understand how I am
situated My lips are necessarily seal-
ed so far aa criticism of thla admin-
istration goes lt would bo in very
bad taste or form to draw compari-
sons between my own and Mr Cleve
lands administration It Would be high-
ly discourteous for me to state wherein
2 believe thla administration errs
Therefore I hove uniformly refused to
express any opinion to draw any con-
clusion or to criticise and I shall
continue that policy
Hhall ou have something tn say
about the new tarlttr
That Is a different matter That
matter was not fathered by tho admin-
istration and I say it is legitimate for
discussion but I am not et ready I
do not wish to speak hast ly of a
matter thai so Intimately oonoe ns the
welfare of my party and country und
goo to the very root of our prosperity
us a nation Later I shall t repate
ft careful analysis of the nil nation and
shall apeak to the people during tho
Indiana campaign I shall speak two
rr three times nnd will let ihe people
know my views on the tarm question
Some thinra that I may say may be
worth printing
When will the campaign open in
Indiana7
Locally It opflns cry soon now
but tho great battle w 111 tut begin
until tho fall Is well udtautcd
Do ou confidently expect Itepub
Ilea n success
It will be prematura to predict
What do you thins of tho situation
In New lork state
I think that the situation In New
York state demands that mty man
outside the state keep Ms hands on 1
That Is what I think let outsiders
keep their hands off and attend to
their own lusln I dont eee am
thing that 1 or any outader should
say In tho way of argument that will
restore harmony All I know of the
situation I read In the papers ant I
know that tho harmony of which I
peak hua not yet been secured but
the two wings of tho party still main-
tain separate rganlzutlon and ure as
far apart aa ever HUggastlons advlto
or talk of uny hind from outsiders
would b impertinent and ill advised
Of course the result In New Vork
this fall will have a might lufluencu
upon national affair
Sine tho conclusion of the Hawai-
ian incident removes that question
from the field of politics possibly you
would not mind abating whether you
consider tho contingency of annexation
settled for oil time was Huggcsltd
to Mr Harrison
To answer that question would bo
an assumption of superior knowledgo
and not to prescience was tho ro
ply Hawaii Is now an Independent
republic What tha future ma bi no
man can predict 1 will sa thli
though had tho Hawaiian crisis tome
six months eorlter thou It did the re
suit would probobly Iiavo boen differ-
ent However ndled Mr Harrison
I do not wish to puss strictures upon
this administration 1 do pot wish t
Impugn motives
After tho Indiuna campaign donee
shall you return to California to re-
sume jour lectures In San ford uni-
versity
II nnswered speaking elowli I
do nt know that I shall return to
California this winter When I trt
there it waa with the understanding I
T might resume tin lectures this win-
ter nnd then again that I might not
It rests entirely with mvsplf whether
I shall continue present relations with
the university and I have not made
up my mind I do not know how
many students msy bo enrolled this
year I have not the slightest Idea
how tho Stanford estate mnv effect the
finances of ihe college The institu-
tion was very proiperous last jear
Tho general said he had not been
able to gaugo the future and he could
say moro about prosperity next jear
Com nod Cuttle
Live Stock He port
Tho cxtraordlnsry turn In the condi-
tion of the corn crop during the last
few weeks In the West is liable to af-
fect the cattle trade very materially
Corn has Jumped from 87 cmta to fiO
cents In Chicago and In the rountry
districts so great la the damage that
the owners of old corn will not pnrt
with it at any pries Eery day wa
have letters telling ot the disaster
Outside the groat suffering that will
ocour In the more remnto districts
where the farmers are poor the whole
West is going to be affeoted Finan-
cially the loss will b tncrmous Ihe
work of many thousands of farmers
will be nil and while n few struggla
through and meet their obligations tho
great majority will need to live In tho
hop of another crop before they can
ftvttle with the banker the baker or
the grocer
Thousands of Immature cattlo will
be tlfcrown on the market They affect
the sate of the better grades while tho
Western stock raisers who eupply year
by ear the alters for the foedera of
Nebraska Iowa and Kiinsaa will have
practically no market So rar reach
lr tsr the trouble that It ta an almost
endless skein to unravel
At present wa are forced every da
In the jards to work off cattle sheep
and hogs at rulnoiM prices This ap-
plies to stock cattle thin shetp and
light plga As the tamers realise the
aeverlt of the drought which at thla
writing la still unbroken the trouble
win bt Intensified and betwint this
t mi and next Aprlt the path of the
salesmen Is to be no tlnecurc Next
spring tho rebound will come When
the grain grass appears there will be
mounting In hot haste and lgoroua
riding after all Classen of atock Thos
who ar Iboky enough to carry through
their stock will be on top while the
rangtmcA provided they have a fa-
vorable winter will be la clever aa
they were tn USS and 1881 Uvtrj re-
verie has lu counterpart and next
year at thla time we will probably b
singing a different aoag Meantlmu
the outlook Is bad and for six or eight
months the Western stocksaan la going
to lave a hard time
Ueeves and Quality
An pastern exchange rays that for-
merly beef was simply baef tha price
was one unlfunn and inequality was
mere nearly e than now Dresaed and
retailed It brought la tk West and

- ha -- - - i i
t ThU being the cae It la a great
pit the consumers are not educated
to discriminate In auallty as sharply
ns the buyers ot beeves the great corn
puuiea wan so inucn of miitrUe and
business acumtn The same pupr
aaya Farmers and feeders lane by the
lmpoftlona that gTcedy and unscru-
pulous retailers practice upon the Ig-
norance of customers In selling meat
that costs 82 SO per hundred on foot at
the same price as that which costs 88
There la a great opportunltj for econo-
my in a general education In discrim-
inating quality in beef and the farmer
has a stake In It In the demand for
belter bttf and hightr wholesale prices
for good quauum
Let ua examine this sublcct In the
light of Chicago prices of the first
week of July Texas cows sold for
81 25 to 82 12 ner hundred while extra
steers from 1590 to 1W0 pounds brought
8i 75 to 8190 Texas steer ariel
from 2 to 84 according as they wero
poor or highly fattened Dulls brought
less of course- very poor 81 0 and
from that figure to 13 60 according to
condition Feeders brojght 2 to 2 90
and s tuckers from 83 to It 40 All thtw
grades are found in market aa beef
usually with little difference as to price
of steaks roasts or other cuts Tht
is not ao couailr in every market and
many retail customer will refuse to
buy poor beef It is a pity this refusal
could not be more general such dls 1
elimination universal when the poor
would pet cheatwr meats and the
masses better aiistty at the same
prices There would be Imperative df
mand for Improvement and the pro
portion of the better qualities would
be larger and the higher ranee of
prices mor Kfnerallv obtained of
course yielding more money and better
profit to the arov er and feeder

70 ppr cent of the roots wojld bo reach-
ed at the depth of four Inches or less
at a dlitance of six Inches from the
stalk
It la evident that a cultivator run
at the depth of four Inches or more
would disturb all these roots with the
result of weakening the plant and les-
sening the ylsld The theory which Is
ad a nerd by some writers on corn
culture that it la well to root prune
or teir oft the roota near the surface
in ordfr to force the p ant to etrlko
d ep r Into the gruun I Is a fallacious
ore The Illinois station also found
and recordel Pie act in one of their
early bulletins that pruning roots to
a depth of four Inches from the stolks
reduced the yiell of corn 16 per cent
In 1889 and 23 per cent In 1890 Other
stations have found similar results
from root pruning and 80 far as I
know not n single experiment in de-
stroying the surface roots has resulted
In an Increased jlell of corn This then
settles the fate of the large shovel deep
running cultivators Anl et nine
tenth of the cultivators In use In the
corn belt are of this type I think It
will be sate to estimate that the leld
of corn will be Increased 10 pr cent
by a change from deep to shallow cul-
ture
Hut we cultivate for two reasons
rirft to suppress weeds and e oad
to keep the surface soli loose And
ndhere to the
one reason why farmers
practice of deep culture lies In the fact
that the large rlows are more effective
In covering up a heavy growth of weeds
than the small ones anl a change to
shallow culture will therefore also
mean that the corn must b cultlvfttid
before tbe weeds get a strong foot oil
Hut thl Is Jnit what ought tn done
an how not merely as a matter of
ITlnotple but because of the greater
economy of time and labor No ono
dlsputta the fact that the time to kill
weeds Is when they are Just breaking
through the surface and at thla stega
the work can be done more rapidly
more efficlentlj and with les effort
on the part of both team and man
than when the weeds are four lnchs
hlfh
M
I know now mmcuit 11 is to Keep
up with the work In corn growing tlm
with large crops to handle whn with
seasonable showers and warm weather
the weeds fairly leap Into being but
the forehanded farmer should bo pre-
pared for this and start hla plow early
even before there I any apparent need
of It He will aave money and In tho
end It will require leu labor to keep
tho corn clean and by shallow culture
eay not to exceed two Inches he will
make money by an Increased yield In
the crop
The adocates of deep culture wlt
advance the nrgument that In the rase
of a drouth corn that hsa received shal
low culture will suffer more than corn
which Is plowed deepl for the reason
that since the plant ha a large amount
of root near the surface It will feel
the drouth sooner than It would it these
surface roots had been dcstroed bj
deep culture and the plants Ihu f oread
to develop roots deeper In the soil
ThL argument seems plausible until
we look further Into the facts and it
must be admitted that In a drouthy
Mention It Is desirable to have the roots
deep In tho ground But In the ilist
I lace It la not proven that the deduc-
tion of tha roots In the surface soil
results In any marked development of
toots In the -subsoil And In tho cc
ond place roots can be da eloped deep-
er In the soil br more eftlclent means
It Is a well established fact that the
roots not only of corn but of all
other agricultural plants will develop
best where they find the anil in the
moat suitable condition to their needs
and where liny find the great Mt
amount of nutrition Were It neces-
sary t could produce more evidence
in support of this statement Uoubt
less the fact that the surface soil ti
not on I j richest but aloo better pul-
verized moro porous and friable than
the subholl U at least In part tho
reason for the tendency of the corn
plant to spread Its roots In the upper
luer of soil and if we should prepare
a deeper layer of noil by deeper plow-
ing the roots would naturally grow
deeper
Again deep plowing by the use of the
lister la undoubtedly the eml means
to tide over a drouth Herein Kansas
where the rainfall ta som what uncer-
tain the majority of the farmer list
their corn nnd In a dry soaon listed
corn frequently yields a fair crop when
surface planted corn Is a failure Tho
roots of listed corn am not so near the
surface and they therefore do not feel
the drouth so severely For this same
leason Hated corn can be cultivated
deeper with ImDunlti
Put the latter cannot be used to ad-
vantage anywhere especially whtre the
rainfall U usually suClclent to supply
the nee Is of the crop In such regions
listed corn would be liable to be drown-
ed ou unles the soil was well dralnei
Again on stiff cloys liming cannot be
practiced with the same advantage a
It can on the black piauie mold
Uut the point I desire particularly to
make Is that the old Idea ot deep cul-
ture for corn Is erroneous and the
sooner we can change to a sjstem of
shallow culture the morewe will save
tn labor If we take the weeds In time
and the sooner It wilt result In better
