THE SITUATION IRELAND,

gether with an explanatory letter, show
ing the operations of the Land Court in
Ireland, the amount of rents withheld
and other features Of the great struggle
in that island for justice and a fair
chance to get living out Of the soil
they till.
The summing up of the case shows
that the people generally stand by the
principles laid down by the Land
I.eauge, and refuse to pay exhOrbitant
rents, and that reductions are made in
many cases without recourse to the Land
Commission. The great trouble which
Confronts the population of Ireland,
even those who are willing to pay rents
on the basis of an equitable settlement,
is the fact that in many instances the
tenants are in arrears and that the land
lords insist on the full amount before
any reduction is made. The teannts are

STEEL BLOOMS.

A great deal of discussion has arisen
upon the matter of the duty OH steel
blooms. This is one Of the curious
phases Of our tariff-whcre it robs pro-
tected Peter to pay protected Paul.
This question was raised before Secre-
tary FOlger, a few days ago, which grew
out of the following facts: II. l.. Col
Inns & Co, of Pittsburgh, imported ,, 500
tons steel blooms for Carnegie Bros,
which were taxed two and half cents
per pound. Judge French gave u for
mer decision, which allowed steel
blooms exc and weighing 200 pounds to
come in at IS per cent. advalOrem,
which Is equal to about One-fOurth of
the specific duty.
Secretary FOlger was disposed TO think
that he had no power to reverse n for
mer Secretary's decision, but consented
to hear the case, and has reserved his
decision.
The whole difficulty in this case grows
out of the fact that the interests Of the
home manufacturers of crude steel and
the interests of the manufacturers of
rails out of crude steel do not agree.
The latter want to import cheap mate
rial for their rails; the former want to
debar them from this privilege, so that
the rail-makers will be forced to use
American material at high prices.
The rail-makers have been importing
steel blooms from England under a
ruling Of the Treasury department
which makes the duty on them Is per
cent, but the American steel bloom
makers persuaded the department that
the particular kind Of blooms which the
rail-makers were importing were sub
leet to a duty Of 900 per cent? pro-
hibitory rate-and the department ruled
accordingly. And now the steel rail
makers, powerful combination, nomi-
naily IN favor Of protecting home in
uustrles, but Vehemently in favor of
protecting their own business, are trying
TO persuade the department to reverse the
ruling and permit them 10 buy their steel
blooms in England! It Is even said
that some Of the rail-makers who are
trying to extort from the Secretary a
: decision which win permit them to i'm
port cheap English steel to make their
rails OF were delegates to the recent high
tariff convention at Chicago, and among
the fiercest advocates Of the policy OF
protecting home manufactures. They
want steel ruiIs stiffiy protected, but
steel blooms admitted at low rates:
while the American bloom-makers don't
care Particularly about the tariff on rails,
bat want stiff rate on blooms.

When an apothecary recommends some
particular remedy for a cold, he is not
usurping the function of physician to a
dangerous extent. He may also give
medical advice about your corns or your
toothache without subjecting you to
much risk of injury. just how far he
ought to go in prescribing is difficult
question to settle. The Medical Associ-
alton and the College of Pharmacy Of
Washington have fallen out over it.
Some of the pharmacists in that city
have taken it upon themselves to practice
medicine as well as to sell it, not hesitat-
ing to deal with dangerous diseases. The
doctors reasonably demand law against
this evil They further. insist that pre-
scription shall not be made up n second
time unless permission to repeat it is
marked on the paper. Their argument
on this point is that the use of perilous
drugs is often continued longer than
the physician intended The apothecar-
les reply that the doctors are simply
looking out for multiplication of fees,
and that some pharmacists can cure an
unimportant malady as well as some ply
sicians. The best plan when one is really
sick is to go to man who has Nj. ID.
after his name. Those letters are not a
guarantee of skillful treatment, but they
raise a probability of it.

Fertilizing Orchards.

Professor Beal, who has been expert
menting with an orchard situated on
rolling land of a black loamy nature
since 1878; reports the following results:
"Around some trees small circles were
kept cultivated: but these trees do no
better than those which grow in sod
A circle of grass extending nearly out
to the ends of the overshadowing lines
is of little or no damage after the tree
become well established. Trees of this
age, left in grass without manure. in our
orchards, grow more slowly, produce less
fruit, of smaller size and poorer quail
ty. than trees which have been well cul-
tivated; the fruit is generally, in our ex.
periments of brighter color when grown
on trees left in grass. When spread
broadcast about a tree, barnya manure
produces good effect about two years
sooner than when the manure is placed
close to the tree. Some trees were kept
heavily mulched, to others ashes were ap-
piled, at the rate of one wagon load of
leached, or two or three bushels OF un-
leached per tree; others were given a
wagon load of barnyard manure; these
applications were made four years ago.
and perhaps it is too soon to arrive at
conclusions, but as yet ihe trees appear
about the same, no difference being yisi-
bic in favor of either of the above modes
of manuring. Where clear cultivation
has been practiced, without fertilizers or
mulch, the fruit seemed to be Just rs

Hiring Farm Labor.

Few questions are of greater import
ance TO the average farmer than those re-
lating to farm help. Who shall we en-
ploy-singlc or married men! Shall we
board our men or hire them TO board
themselves The proper answer TO these
questions will necessarily vary with the
surrounding circumstances of the farm
er. For large farmers, we are strongly
IN favor OF the tenement system. Mar
ried men are more steady, they can be
more easily obtained, and their mind is
more upon your business, aud above all,
they have usually had experience in
work, which is an important item. In
order to adopt this system, howcverthcrc
must be convenient tencmcnts in which
the workman can live. OF course these
suggestions apply to farmers who need
much help upon their farms. We recon-
mend the plan of men boarding them
selves, on the ground that they can do it
cheaper than any one else. Ii a man is
inclined to live extravagantly, and boards
himself he has the benefit of it, If on
the other hand, he prefers to live eco
nomically, and is content with plain,
wholesome fare, he has reward by the
money saved in this way. Tho same
holds true with the farmer himself. But
with the farmer who boards his men,
he cannot arrange these things so salts
factorily. There is another advantage
TO the plan---a plea for the farmers wife
In many a farmers home where several
men are boarded, the farmers wife is
made but little more than slave to
work. When men board themselves,
much extra work is done away with for
the farmers wife. In discussing this
question we do not wish to be selfish.
There are always worthy young uumar
ried men who wish to work. This class
of farm help can always find good places
among farmers who are situated so as
TO be able TO hire men to board them
selves. Our experience has demonstrat-
ed the fact to us, that there is great diff
erence in hired help. We are greatly in
favor of procuring good men when they
are TO be found. We believe many farm
ers make n serious mistake in placing
too much stress upon the price paid
farm hands. They hire the man whom
they can get the cheapest, with little re
gard to age, experience or reputation.
We prefer to hire good men, and pay
good wages. The man who works for
lower wages than he asks and desires
cannot work as faithfully Or as well as
he who obtains what he really should
have. 1t creates i'll him feeling of un.
easiness aud dissatisfaction, which work
against his employers interest Good
men who are paid good wages will in
the majority of cases prove the cheap
est help for the farmer.
