Medical Value of Vegetables

A celebrated cook book discusses
the medical value of vegetables as
follows Asparagus is a strong diu
rctic, and forms part OF the cure Tor

cooling, and forms the staple Of that
soupe our herbes which French lady
will order for herself after long and
tiring journey. Carrots, as contain.
ing a quantity OF sugar, are avoided
by some people, while others CON-
plain OF them as indigestible. With
regard 10 the latter accusation il may
be remarked that in passing, it is the
yellow core that Is difficult OF diges-
tion-the outer, red layer, is tender
enough. In Savoy the peasants have
recourse 10 an infusion OF carrots as
8 specific for jaundice.
The large sweet onion is very rich
in those alkaline elements which
counteract the poison Of rheumatic
gout. II slowly stewed in weak
broth, and eaten with little Nepaul
pepper, it will be found to be an ad.
mirable article Of diet for patients Of
studious and sedentary habits. The
stalks of cauliaower have the same
sort of value, only too often the stalk
of a caulihower is 20 ill.boiled and
unpslatable that few persons would
thank you for proposing to them TO
make part Of their meal consist of 30
uninviting an article. Turnips, In the
same way, are often thought TO be in.

and sheep than for delicate people !;
but here the fault lies with the cook
as much as with the root. The cook
boiIs the turnip badl =, and then pours
some butter over 1t, and the eater Of
such dish is sure to be the worse
for IT. Try 9 better way. What

Gleanings.

The National Live Stock Journal
says: Much OF the value of potatoes
as hog food depends upon cooking.
Indeed, when led largely raw, they
produce securing, and do not all di-
gest. Potato is composed so largely
OF starch that cooking is almost in.
dispensable 10 aid digestion. A little
raw potato is beneficial TO the hogs
stomach when fed largely on corn.
1t is Laxative and cooling, allaying
the feverish tendency from the heat
ing effects Of corn. But when led 70
get the most out OF them for iatten.
ing, potatoes should be boiled soft ;
and if grain is fed with them, it would
be best TO boil both together.
A very serious mistake is made by
some farmers by entertaining the
idea that their ways are the best, and
are not susceptible Of Improvement
Such farmers shut out all chance for
progress he who does not keep him
self in position 10 learn in what
direction progress is being made, is
making a mistake.
Fowls are early risers. DO not
make them stand around on one foot
these cold mornings waiting for their
breakfast, which should be a warm
one. Cooked vegetables and SCRAPS
OF any kind, thickened with bran,
shorts or meal, make good morning
feed for poultry.
II you have hens Of the right breed
and sge, warm and sunny quarters
for them TO stay in, And keep them
supplied with everything they need,
you will have eggs, simply because
hens can no more help laying than
they can help breathing.

Plant Trees on the Roadsides.

Mr.. Orange Judd advocates tree
planting along the highways, in the
American AgricIlturist for November.
lie says: Trees may be planted at
any time before the ground freezes
solid, or as soon as it fully opens in
the spring. Early spring would be
preferable on some accounts but il
left until then, the hurry Of work,
often delayed by cold and wet wealth
er, il likely Y 10 interfere. 1t is better,
therefore, to get every hardy tree
possible into its permanent growing
place now. And every year it is de.
layed is no triflIng loss. A hundred
trees can be set at q cost OF ten to
twenty dollars, or for almost no cost
If one has spare time and the sap.
lings are easily available. These may
in ten TO 6fteen years grow TO be
worth three to ten dollars apiece for
needed timber and fuel, or for the
fruit or nuts produced.
1t would be greatly TO the advan.
tage OF the country. its clima'e, and
its beauty, IL the sides of our public
highways generally were planted with
trees that furnish shade and orna
ment while growing, and supply Al
no distant period wood for yarious
purposes. Some years before they
mature sufficiently TO be cut down
for use, new paintings alternating
with the older trees can be coming
forward TO take their places, or slow
and quck.growing varieties may be
set, 30 that when the latter are re-.
moved the former will be large
enough 10 soon ill the gaps. 1t ls

those that somewhat resemble each
other in form at the top. We have

years ago various oaks were set.

naples were all removed, furnishing

stand in two beautiful rows.
As to loss OF land from spreading

be kept from the crops by deep
furrow along the inside OF the fence
every year or two, and the shade will

Those on the northerly side Of the

INTENT AND OPERATION or THE NEW
TARIFF.

TO the Editor Of the Tribune.
SIR: The schedule Of duties on imports is
az present found under title 80 OF the Revised Statutes
the act of February g. 1873 known the Little Tariff
b and the act of March g. 1875. The enactng clause
of the Tariff act section 6, reads thus;
That on and after the LIST day OF July 1888 the follow
ing shall constitute and he substitute for title
80 of the Revised Statutes OF the United States.
This enacng clause refers 10 that part of the present
Tariff law contained in the Revised Statutes but makes
no reference the act Of February g. 1879 to that
OF March g. 1875 which with certain changes reenacts
title SO, Revised Statutes in these words:
And the several duties and rates Of duty pre-
scrbed said section 1854 shall be and remain by
that section levied without abatement of 10 per centu
as provided In section :, SOB.
II the new Tariff law affects only title SO OF the Re
yised Statutes expressly provided in section OF that
law there remain the acts OF February and March g.
1875, unrepealed and unmodifed. thus giving on and
after July l. 1893 two differing schedules OF duties In
the new law the substitute for section 2499 of the Re
vsed Statutes TO have been prepared with special
reference to such apparent conflict OF laws by pro-
viding that IL two rates of duty should be ap
pcable to any imported article, 1t shall be classified for
duty under the highest Of such rates" Should the
law do more than its clearly expressed intent and mod
ify repeal portions OF the acts of February and
March g. 1875, It will be easy TO determine the
precise effect of that repeating modifying force.
1t remains for importers, officials and courts to
find out what Soons have done Intentionally and
what they have done without meaning to do
