FARM TOOLS NOT FREE TAXED AT A RATE ABOVE OTHER ARTICLES OF THEIR CLASS. Shrewd Coni promise Which the Man* ufacturcrs Effected—England Cannot Now Compete with America in Woolen Manufacture. It’s a Delusion. In the Iron Age there is mention of large exports of agricultural implements and machinery by the Walter A. Wood Mowing and Reaping Machine Company, of Hoosick Falls. N. Y. The Steamship Douro. at New York, is being freighted with 150earloads of mowers. rakes, reapers, harvesters and binders, tedders, etc. for Odessa. Russia. The same company is loading 500 tons of similar goods on another steamer for Kiev. Russia, via Riga: and the steamer Alesia is taking on board over 500 tons of agricultural implements for ! Algiers aud Tunis. It might be judged I from this trade incident that American manufacturers of agrieultural tools and machinery are pretty well able to hold their own in the markets of the world against all foreign competitors; aud some of them are trank enough to admit that no duty is necessary for their protection. But whenever any attempt is made to remove or reduce the duty ou these goods a most vigorous protest is drawn from the manufacturers. It has been proven many times, and has been openly admitted by some of the manufacturers, that they ship their goods to foreign countries. pay all expenses and duties, and | sei; them at or below the prices! charged in this country. It is a matter I of record in the printed testimony submitted to the Senate Committee on Finance last summer that American implement manufacturers have been | selling their goods in Canada for years. : paying the duty of 35 per cent, imposed by that country, and still charging no more than the prices asked in the United States. In 1894 the exports or agricultural implements and machinery amounted ' in value to $4,765,793; and in 1893 the total was *.1,191.223. More than a million dollars worth of these articles is sent annually to the Argentine Republic. largely for use in the great wheat fields of that country; ami in nearly every land on the face of the globe American mowers, reapers and binders aPd smaller implements will be found. Canada took last year $172,451 worth, and 5242.630 worth in 1893. despite a duty n early as high as that Imposed by this Go"*er nnlent - 1 here Is no record, however, the importation into the United States' vt uuy articles of thi“ class.

the Wilson bill passed the) House of Representatives agriculture I implements and machinery Wi re placed , upon the free list in order to give to American farmers the privilege of purchasing these appliances at the same prices paid abroad. Immediately the manufacturers, by concerted action, deluged the Senate Finance Committee with protests against the removal of i the old duty of 45 per cent, imposed on I all unspecified manufacturers of metal. ; With a shrewdness that probably es caped the attention of all but those directly interested, the manufacturers effectetl a compromise by adding to the free list paragraph a proviso that when such articles are imported from a country which lays an import duty on like articles imported from the I nited States they shall be subject io the duties existing prior to the passage of the present law. Canada, the only country recognized as a competitor of the United Stales in the agricultural implement trade, imposes a duty of 35 per vent, on farm tools and machinery: so rite effect oi ilie conditional free list paragraph is to give to the American manufacturers the old McKinley duty of 45 per cent. Had there been no specific mention of agricultural implements and machinery in the new tariff law these articles would have been dutiable at only 35 per cent., the new rate on miscellaneous manufactures. The vast wheat growing territory along our Northwestern border line is the section most affected by this duty;, for the farmers are unable to avail themselves of the lower-priced Canadian implements, while they can see the American goods shipped across the line to the adjoining Canadian wheat fields ami sold at lower prices than are charged in this country. The free agricultural implements of the Corman tariff law are a delusion. Practically they are dutiable at a rate that is nearly 3D por cent, above the duty on articles of the class in which they belong.— Philadelphia Record. Can’t Compete with America* The new tariff is reversing the old situation. The English are now complaining that they cannot compete with the cheap woolens made in this country, A cable to the Associated Press from London says: “A lockout of employes among the Leicester operatives is imminent. The trouble is due to a reduction of wages claimed to be made necessary by the Influx of American goods, which are flooding England. The British manufacturers claim that their trade will be gone entirely unless the payment of lower wages enables them to meet the American con.petition." It is American “pauper wages" that is now disturbing the amenities of trade. While the American manufacturer was forbidden to procure his wool supply from any part of the old world, untaxed, he was shut out of Europe. He is now breaking into the markets >” the old world in various places. British manufacturers are making the competition of American woolens the justification for a cut of the wages of their operatives. Tlie same re;s>rt may be expected from Germany, as the American Consul at Stuttgart

finds that American carpets are being introduced there. Mr. Blaine said American operatives iu cotton mills were paid less in proportion to work done than English operatic -sin the same line. Their weekly wages are a little more than those of the English, but. as Mr. Blaine said, '(this is more than made up by their greater efficiency aud longer hours of labor " The Kime is doubtless true in woolen mills. The removal of the tariff wall puts the American on an equality with the foreigner in the privileges of procuring his raw material on the most favorable terms, and the consequence is seen in the invasion of England and Germany by American woolens and carpets, and the threatened lockout of Leicester operatives, the English proprietors claiming that they cannot compete with America and pay their old wage rate. The free wool clause of the tariff law. the most radical feature in it. is receiving a prompt and remarkable vindication.—Herald. Quincy, 111. Two Charge* Against High Tariffs. High-tariff duties have been a curse to most manufacturers as well as to all consumers. They have increased the cost of raw materials to all kinds of manufacturers. To offset this handicap higher duties have been placed U[«>n manufactured products. These have practically given our manufacturers a monopoly of our markets and have encouraged and fostered the formation of trusts and combines to extort from the American people all that the tariff would permit. The fact that our manufacturers. except in certain industries, hate had no real competition for many years has retard -d invention and greatly checked progress. It costs money and effort to experiment with new machines aud devices, and most manufacturers will make such experiments only when necessity compels '.hem to do so. The high tariff has removed this necessity, and has therefore retarded the development of our manufacturing industries. This evil of high tariffs has been recognized by seme of our prominent manufacturers — notably those ill tile glass and woolen industries. A still more serious charge against MeKinleyis.it is that it has enabled manufacturers capable of competing with all comers to sell at protected prices In our markets, and at free trade prices in foreign markets. This method of doing business has become so fashionable that exporters expect special prices for export, and some of them boast to their customers that there is no manufactured American artick that is not sold cheaper tor export than to the home trade. This difference usuajje ygpies from 5 to 20 per cent., but sdtuetiuies reaches 50 per Cent., as in the case of some kinds of cartridges and ammunition sold by the Cartridge Trust. The lower duties of the Wilson bill have compelled some trusts and manufacturers to lessen this discrimination. but the tariff reductions were not radical enough to stop this dis graceful business except in the ease of agricultural implements, which are now free from most countries. The manufacturers of these implements have become so accustomed to giving reduced prices for export thnt they will probably continue for a while to give extra discounts of 5 or 8 per cent, to the export trade. They cannot, as heretofore. £iVe large extra discounts, because the implements will then be reimported. In time they will become convinced that an American is just as good as a foreign eusomer. and will treat both alike.—Byron W. Holt.

Prosperous Factories. It ought to add greatly to the cheer fulness of the country to see that the New York Tribune is disposed to take a highly hojieful view of the condition ami prospects of manufacturing industries which, as some supposed, would surely fall into a condition of complete decay if any measure of tariff reform were adopted. Far from being of this opinion, the Tribune asserts with emphasis that Fall River manufacturers are prospering in a gratifying way. It says that sales are unusually large, that there is less than a week's production on hand and that the demand for wide fabrics is too great to be met for some weeks to come. In addition to all these evidences of prosperity under the revised tariff, it declares that at Fall River "within the last two weeks more than half a dozen corporations have paid quarterly dividends ranging from IL. to 2 per cent., and none of them are reported as going behind." In support ot these auspicious facts we have on the same day a telegram from I.awrenee that in the woolen mills at Haverhill. Andover. North Andover and Franklin Falls wages which were cut last year have been restored by the manufacturers without waiting for a demand —this in fulfillment of a promise that the restoration should be made as soon as business became prosperous enough to warrant it. Clearly the croaking prophecies of the warlocks of calamity are out of date ar last.—New York World. Speaking of the coming Presidential campaign, the Cincinnati Tribune (Rep.l says: “The Republicans must adhere firmly to the principles of protection. but at the same time it must be thoroughly understood that the notion of high, prohibitive protection has served its purpose.” Two years’ time will be needed in which to complete the decoration of the new Congressional library at Washington. and the work will be in the hands of a commission headed by John La Farge. We hate our own sins most when we see them walking around in the shoes of somebody else.

FARM AND GARDEN. BRIEF HINTS AS TO THEIR SUCCESSFUL MANAGEMENT. How to Drain Heavy Clay Land—A Good Cow Stall—Value of Liquid Manures -Don't Depend on Single Cropt-Farm News and Note*. A Log Feed Rack. This home-made feed rack can be constructed any desired length. The lower portion is about seven feet wide. The bight depends on animals using it. They must reach the bottom easily. The A GOOD FEED HACK. upper part Is of sufficient width to allow ample room between the top log of the first part and the lower log of the second part for stock to reach down and get th feed. This method is much more desirable than throwing hay and other roughness upon the ground. Nothing is wasted by being pulled out and trampled under foot. Put a large load of hay into this rack. The stock eat it from the bottom as reeded and the upper portion settles down as the feed is taken from beneath.—American Agriculturalist. Draining Heavy Clay Land. It is often recommended to make drains in heavy soils very shallow, so, as is said, that "the water may be able to soak down into the drain.” This difficulty in getting water to soak through clay is greatly exaggerated iu popular estimation. Farmers see the undrained clay soils flooded with water which, as it will not go down into the subsoil, they think is held back by an Impervious barrier of clay. But iu all clay lands where vegetation has grown will be found small natural water courses, the places where roots have run and where they have decayed. All these when water stands on the surface will be found filled with water. Until it can find an outlet below this water must remain stagnant. But so soon as the underdrain is dug these small pipes will find their way to it, though it be three or even four feet deep. When clay soil is stirred while wet it is said to be puddled, Then the small natural ~?,t“er i.Vufses ard hrt'kau up, and the clay becomes a nearly perfect barrier to water. But even then deep freezing of the soil will break it up and make new water courses through it. After clay soil is underdrained it freezes much deeper than before. In a cold winter the soil may freeze down to the bottom of a 20-inch or two foot drain such as is sometimes recommended. It is better always to make the drains at least three feet deep in clay soil. If there is any doubt about water soaking readily to the leutorn fill a foot deep with loose stone over the tile or stone water course.— American Cultivator. Home-Made Crane. A Crane stationed just outside the big barn doors and leaning against the taOW w hen not in use is the subject of illustration. This is a wonderfully handy contrivance. It is not only convenient when killing beef and pork, but saves much hard labor in loading and unloading bale hay. cider or any other heavy thing. The crane illustrated was made of a natural stick just as it grew. It is

HOME-MADE CRAVE. made to swing in a tenon at either end. the stick itself being mortised. Stormy days in winter afford the leisure time : for the construction of this and similar ; farm contrivances. Liquid Manures. How to save the liquids is a problem on some farms. The proper mode is to conduct the liquid manure to a receptacle of some kind by having gutters behind the stalls, and then using some kind of uu absorbent material in order to absorb the liquids. Marl is excellent for this purpose, bur a mixture of cut straw, or cornstalks, leaves, marl, dry earth, muck and sawdust, or any of the materials that can be conveniently had will prevent loss and keep the manure in excellent condition. The liquids are more valuable than the solid portions of the manure. Parsnips and Carrots for Cows. Valuable as ensilage is, it is not within the reach of the farmer who keeps only one or two cows. The ensilage pit for so small a number cannot be used to keep fodder economically. A good supply of carrots and parsnips is not only a substitute for ensilage, but even better than it, as these roots have greater nutritive value than corn fodder ensilage, and there is no difficulty in keeping them. They are both halfhardy plants and should be sown early so as to get well rooted before the hot, dry weather comes. Early Pasturing. Old hay answers an excellent purpose even when the cows have an abundance of green fodder on the pasture. It is highly relished by them, and they should have a full ration of it at night.

During the season when cows are first turned on grass they should have salt and should any of them have the scours keep them In the barnyard and feed hay. with a mess of hot bran and corn meal seasoned. Green grass is laxative, and the cows must not be allowed too much at the beginning of the pasture season. — Peach Culture in Michigan. Peach culture is on the increase in i Western Michigan, and in Kent County many orchards of from 50U to 10/JOO trees will be set this spring. The climate here is dry, the wood and fruit buds harden early and are consequent ly able to stand a much lower temperature than in some districts. The orchards are profitable when thoroughly and systematically cultivated. For instance, Mr. E. E. Church has an orchard of 500 trees, on a clay loam soil, well fertilized, at time of planting, with barnyard manure. The trees have been set for six years and given thorough cultivation, planted to corn the first i two years and the third to buckwheat, the returns from these crops more thau paying for setting out the trees, care, cultivation, etc. The profits given have been as follows: 1892, fourth year from setting. $400; 1893. $500; 1894. S6OO. : The trees are set one rod apart each way and occupy about three and a halt acres, thus making a total yearly profit of over $l4O per acre. Frank White, from two and a half acres of peach orchard five years old, received, during 1894. $462. J E Lee, from an orchard of 700 trees, sot out twelve years, in 1881, got 860 bushels, then 985, 1,335 | and 925 bushels, or a total for four 1 years of 5,105 bushels. This fruit sold on an average at $1.15 per bushel.— Grange Judd Farmer. Thinning Young Crops. Few practices are more profitable in the amateur's vegetable garden than thinning out garden crops as soon as the young plants are above the surface. If the knowledge of the proper sowing of seeds was more widely prevalent when the number of seeds required to make plants only need be sown, no thinning would be needed: but so many persons sow the seeds, fearing that numbers will fail to grow, and therefore, many more seeds are used than is necessary. But sometimes all these superfluous seeds grow, in which case it is desirable that they should be thinned out Not only do the vegetable plants grow larger under these circumstances. but in many cases they come earlier into use.—Meehan's Monthly. A Cow Stall. There has been a great deal said about what kind of a stall we should keep our cow in so she will keep clean, — .' <• ——-V—-x \ 2 1 - 1 - ■ -v' THE COW STALL. says a correspondent of the Ohio Farmer. I send you a sketch of a stall that I made myself last October, and don't think I could improve it any for comfort or cleanliness. I think we should look more to the comfort of the cow and the profits of the dairy. Dependence on Single Crops. It is all right to have specialties, but until fully tested they should never be wholly depended upon. There will need always to be some other crop, not merely to make up for possible failure of the specialty, but to make profitable use of time that cannot be employed in it There are no crops that require all the time to be devoted to cultivating and harvesting them, and very few that can be grown with profit unless there is opportunity to employ time and labor on something besides the specialty. Potatoes and Weeds. Early potatoes should pay well, as they are always in demand. A potato field should be kept clean from the time of planting to the harvesting of the crop. Many potato fields are allowed to become so overrun with weeds as to make the cost of harvesting more than all other labor given during the season, j Keep the weeds down from the start, ! and the tubers will be larger and the yield heavier.

Seed Corn, Some care given the seed corn uow, so as to select good grains, will be of advantage later on when the seed is planted. It the seed was put away after being perfectly dry it will no doubt be in excellent condition, but the recent severe cold weather may have damaged the corn that contains moisture to any extent. Hurrying Him Up. “Jack,” said a pretty girl to her brother the other day, “I want you to do something for me—that’s a dear fellow.’ ‘Well. what is it?” growled Jack, who is the brother of the period, “Why, you know that wig and mustache you used in the theatricals?” “Well?” “Won’t you just put them on and go to the concert to-night? Reginald and I will be there, and I want you to stare at me the whole evening through your glasses.” “You want me to do that?” “Yes, and as we come out you must stand at the door and try to slip me a note. Take care that Reggie sees you, too.” “Well, I declare!” “Because, you see, Jack, Reggie likes me. I know, but then he is awfully slow, and as he is well off and lots of other girls are after him he’s got to be hurried up, as it were.” When the world dissolves, all places will be hell that are not heaven.—Marlowe.

On Cleaning. The question is often asked what to do with soiled ivory, and many elaborate directions have tx-en put in print from time to time, but a woman who dared has discovered recently that one of the scrubbing sand soaps may be used with impunity It does not yellow the ivory, nor does it scratch 1L It should be rubbed on a fine nail brush and the ivory scrubbed as if It were china. Brass, copper ami their alloys should be cleaned with polishing paste in preference to silver powder. Oxidized ornaments need only washing and hard rubbing with flannel or chamois. White metal is most useful, in that it requires little or no care. Silver powder is, of course, the best possible cleanser for silver. Venetian ironwork should be oiled to keep it from rusting. Kerosene may be used with safety. A Nice Dish. A nice luncheon dish for an early spring day is made from fresh eggs and mushrooms. Break half a dozen eggs in a saucepan, and beat enough thoroughly to mix the whites and yelks. Peel a dozen large mushrooms, cut them into small pieces, then put two ounces of butter in your chafing dish, light the lamp, add the mushrooms, and cook them slowly five minutes, stirring all the time. Add four tablespoonfuls of stock, cover the dish, and simmer live minutes longer. To simmer. either put the hot-water pan of your dish under it or moderate the heat of the alcohol stove by putting on part of the cover. Add the eggs, season to taste with salt and white pepper, and stir all the time until the eggs are snfflcently cooked to a creamy mass like scrambled eggs. Deviled Oysters. Drain and chop twenty-five nice, fat oysters, then drain them again. Put half a pint of cream on to boil. Rub one rounding tablespoon of butter with two of flour together and add to the cream when boiling, stir constantly until it thickens, then add the yelks of two eggs, slightly beaten, cook a moment, take from the tire and add a tablespoon of chopped parsley, the oysters, salt and cayenne to taste. Have the deep shells of the oysters washed perfectly clean fill them with this mixture, sprinkle lightly with bread crumbs, stand them in a baking pan and brown in a very quick oven. Serve in the shells garnished with parsley. Avoid long cooking as it makes them hard and dry. Lovely Potato Rolls. Two even cups of strained white potatoes. a scant half cup sugar, half a cup of lard, two eggs and one tea cup of yeast Beat potatoes and sugar together. add the well-beaten eggs and lard, a little salt and the yeast, then add flour enough for a stiff batter and let rise over night. Add flour enough for a soft dough; rise again, then roll out and cut with a cake cutter, put them tn greased pans. let stand awhile, then bake. Rightly made aud baked they are delicious.

Corn Pudding. Drain the liquor from a can of corn and chop the kernels very tine. Rub together a tablespoon of butter and sugar, beat up one egg. mix all together with the corn with two cups of milk and salt to taste and bake one-half hour in a good oven. Graham Muffins. To one beaten egg add a pint of new milk, a little salt ami graham flour to make thick batter; bake in muffin molds in a hot oven. Hints to Housewives. Bacon fat is an excellent and economical substitute for butter in frying oysters or scollops. Ashes sifted tine and free from small cinders is the very best thing for clean ing steel knifes and forks. When anything has been accidentally made too salt, it can be counteracted by adding a teaspoonful of vinegar and a teaspoonful of sugar. A dish of hot, well-cooked oatmeal, mixed with chopped dates, or figs, is at present the form of fruit and cereal meeting with most approval from several well known food specialists. Rub the hands with a stick of celery after peeling onions, and the odor will be entirely removed. Onions may be peeled under water without offense to the eyes or hands. Linseed oil is better than anything else for removing rust from a stovepipe. Rub the pipe thoroughly with the oil (a little goes a great way) and build a slow fire until it is dry. To raise the pile on velvet, cover a hot iron with a wet cloth and. hold the velvet over the steam. Brush the velvet quickly with a soft brush while the hot steam is passing through it Hang the tablecloths and linen sheets one-half or two-thirds their length over the line, without using clothespins, unless absolutely necessary: as rough clothespins, in careless hands, win oft. n ruin delicate fabrics. Have the tin immediately replaced when it has worn off of copper utensils; and remember that copper can be easily cleaned with turpentine and fine brick dust—polished with dry brick dust and a piece of flannel. Chamois leather, after being used, should be thoroughly rinsed, then wrung dry and placed in bags, ereli by itself, in a cupboard out of the wav. The common practice of allowing sponges and chamois leather to lie without care is a very wasteful one.
