Samuel PEBBLES is a farmer in
Iowa who thinks as he sows, and
reads when he rests In his rumin-
atoms upon the tariff question he
has settled down to the following
conclusion:
A tariff for revenue only, if it
means anything, implies the follow
ing effect:
A general reduction of the exist
ing duties on imports:
10 be followed by larger impor-
tation of foreign.made fabrics.
To be followed by a falling off in
the demand for those made at home.
TO BE followed 10y the closing OF
American workshops.
TO be followed by relatively
greater number of men engaged in
agriculture.

the supply of farm products, with nc
corresponding increase in the de-
maud.

ATTENTION should be paid to the
growing weeds on vacant lots and
back streets. The wet season has
caused an unusual growth this year,
and the moisture retained on the
surface Of the ground, where they
grow, causes mold, which in turn
brings on sickness. The weeds
should be cut down, not only for
looks, but as a sanitary measure.

"There is no mistake about it
remarked DR.. NJ. +. Flowers, of Gal
lantin, Missouri, "Benson's Capcine
Porous Plasters are one Of the neat
est combinations ever produced.
They have two kinds of advantages
over all others, which we may call
the minor and the major. First, they
are clean and pleasant to use, never
soiling the hands nor the linen Of
the wearer. Second, they act quick
ly and powerfully. | have tried the
Capcine Plaster on myself for pneu-
monia, and on my patients tor va
rious diseases, such as Neuralgia,
Muscular Rheumatism, Lumbago,
Kidney trouble, etc, and in all cases
relief has followed IN from three to
forty-eight hours"

ten or oral opinion of thousands in

ternal application. The genuine

Messrs. Hiscox & Co. call special
attention to the fact that after April
16, 1888, the name and style of this

! Porker's Tonic. The word "Ginger"
is dropped, for the reason that un.
principled dealers are constantly de.
ceiving their patrons by substituting
inferior preparations under the name
of Ginger; and as ginger is an un-
important favoring ingredient in
our Tonic, we are sure that our
friends will agree with us as to the
propriety of the change. There will
be no change, however, in the prep.
aration itself and all bottles re.

One of the Wonders of California

Recently in San Francisco, when
the chorus for the Thomas concerts
asked for tickets for themselves and
for escorts for the ladies on nights
they were not to sing, Mr.. Thomas
replied No
Very WE'LL said the chorus, good
noturedly, tickets without escorts,
then p
No said Mr.. Thomas
All right the chorus said, we
will sit up in our chorus seats as
usual the nights we don't sing.
No replied Mr.. Thomas for the
third time; when you don't sing
you can pay for tickets ike any one
else
In that case the chorus replied
it is still very well-we Won't come
at all-nOt even to sing.
The Pacific coast way of looking
at affairs speedily effected a COM
promise, and during the festival in
smiling, triumphant tiers, the chorus
will sit up aloft on the nights it does
not sing, and Mr.. Thomas has made
a note of the incident as one of the
wonders of California.

Destroying the Plum curcu,io.

A great deal cf useless advice has
been given out concerning easy
methods of destroying the plum and
peach curculio. In most parts of
the country it is impossible to raise
plums unless one exercises a daily
warfare against the insects. Persons
who have two or three plum trees
about the yard should succeed in
raising fruit enough for their own
use, but this they are seldom able to
accomplish. The less trees one has
the greater viii be the proportionate
number of insects to attack them.
Such methods as burning coal tar
under the trees or hanging cobs sat
urated with molasses among the
limbs are usually of no avail in saw
ing a crop of plums or peaches. The
only sure method is persistent
catching. The curculios spend their
nights near the base of the trees,
under chips and bark. Early in
the morning they ascend the trees
to lay their eggs in the young fruit !;
there are two modes of catching
them; the one devised by Mr.. Ran
som, of Benton Harbor, Michigan,
is to nicely smooth the earth about
the base of the trees, and to lay q
few small blocks of wood or chips on
the surface, The beetles crawl un-
der these for shelter, and can be
taken very early in the morning be-
fore they ascend the trees. The chips
should be examined as soon as one
can see in the morning this is the
method most practiced in the exten-
sive peach belt of Michigan. The
other method is 10 spread a large
sheet under the tree, and to jar the
beetles off on it by means of one OF
two blows with a long-handled mall
let or bumper. Each of the large
branches should be struck, and the
mallet should be wound with cloth
to prevent injury to the trees. This
practice should be followed early IL
the morning also, as when they get
warm the beetles are too lively to bC
caught. Many of the best peach
and plum growers practice bott
these methods. In the case of few
trees about a yard both should b'
used, and there will be but little
doubt as to good reward IN fruit
The practice should be followed VI
every morning fer couple OF week
after the blossoms fall, and at wide
intervals until the insects disappear
A sheet may be stretched over
large wooden frame for convenienc
in handling.

Sweet Corn aud Sorghum.

Mr. \. 3. Allen writes to the New
York Tribune as follows about sweet
corn and sorghum cane for summer
feed for cows:
| found last season that sorghum
cane OF the amber variety-the earli-
est sort know and as sweet as any
| have tried; endured drought better
than corn, but that my stock pre-
ferred the latter, which was contrary
to the experience of a friend, and
was doubtless SO because of the fact
that | choose for feeding green the
best sorts of sweet corn, sow it not
over-thick in drills three feet apart,
and cut the stalks from the time
they begin to silk till the grain is in
the milk never let it pass this
stage The stalks do not grow over
q half to three-fourths of an inch in
diameter at the butt they are con-
sequently tender and sweet their
whole length, and thus are greedily
eaten up from one end to the other.
There is one advantage of growing
amber cane over corn in the latitude
of 39' and lower-we can get two
crops of it from the same sowing in
a season, provided it be a fair aver
age one, not unusually late frost in
May or an early one in October.
Prepare the land as for corn; strike
out shallow drills with the pillow
three feet apart, and drop the seed
sufficiently close to have the stalks
stand about an inch apart in the
drills. A hand seed sower may be
used for this purpose. Some say
that it is not so hardy as corn, and
it should not, therefore, be sowed so
early. Others say the growth for
the first few weeks is very slow. l
find, thus far, neither of these asser-
tons true. | sowed at the same
time as corn; it came up quickly.
and grew right of rapidly. /
earnestly advise my fellow-far,ners
to experiment with this plant
forage"

Not That Kind OF People.

General Thomas was the model
soldier. On this point there was
little difference of opinion through
out the army. Thomas always SEEM
ed on duty. He was never in un-
dress. He was always the stern,
conscientious soldier In his bearing,
and comes up in the memory OF ey-
cry soldier now as the representative
commander of the war. He was not
all Iron Duke" as those who were
nearest him during the war can tes-
tify. He loved a good story, and Of
ten told the following with great
relish: After the battle of Perry
vile the army moved after Bragg, to
the mountains il Southeastern Ken
tucky. Many of the Kentucky troops
passed very near their homes and
had a great desire to visit their fam
lilies. In many cases they did with
out permission, but In other cases
men more conscientious labored hard
+ TO secure permission. The Colonel
of a regiment, raised in the noun
tain districts. one day received a call
from a backwoods specimen of the
Kentucky soldier, who was classed
as a six footer." He proceeded TO
state his case in a deliberate, drawl-
ing tone Kernel, I'm now about
four miles from home. Iwould like
I to 90 over and see the old woman
and the young uns and get up lit
tie wood and hx 'em for winter.
kin ketch you afore you get to Cum

How do You know we are going
to Cumberland Gap ?' questioned
the Colonel.
WAL, yer headed that way now
and / could soon git up little wooC
and find you, unless Bragg chaw:
Won up. which isn't likely"
He was informed that the Colone
: could not grant a furlough ; that th'
only person who could was Genera
Thomas, but before his application
! could reach the General in due form
and be returned the army would b.
: out of Kentucky.
. "Six.footer" was disconsolate, bu
determined to visit General Thoma
in person, and he did. He caugh
the General unawares, and was hal
through his story before "Old Pap
comprehended the situation. Sur
prised, he turned to hear "Abou
: four miles from home-want to g
+ over and get up a little wood-kil
E ketch you in a day or two" etC
How long since you saw your wit
t and children ?' questioned the ster
old Major General. With a wo
begone expression, the six-footer re
piled, slowly and solemnly; "Waa
Gineral, it's nigh on to t-w-e-l-v-
months since | was TO home" " why
man, said the General, briskly, -
y haven't seen my wife for two year
and don't expect to see her until tn
war is over.
n The Kentuckian, putting on tn
A air Of one resenting an Insult, saiC

Watering Horses.

Warm weather having arrived this
subject is again on the carpet, and
there are rs many views expressed
a. there are writers as to when, how
often and how much water a horse
is to be allowed daily. Some think
once a day is enough, some twice,
some thrice. and some that water
should always be in reach of a horse
when In the stable. People accus-
toned to use, teed and water horses
soon find out how to treat them,
and in this treatment how often
they should be watered daily.
Those who only drive horses and
know nothing more about them,
may neglect them through ignorance
or inattention, but must understand
that they should be watered three
times a day at regular intervals with
cool water in summer, if it can be
had, and mild in winter. Pump or
spring water meets these conditions.
If driven they should not be watered
until cooled off, and then they
should be allowed as much as they
can drink and not driven immedi-
ately after In the stable these
things settle themselves. The COM
mon practice is to water before feed
ing. Horses watered three times a
day-morning, noon and night
will be in far better condition for
work Of any kind than if watered
half i dozen times. as some people
driving allow their horses to be.
They will sweat less and he more
lively. aud we believe will be in bet
ter health. Once a day or twice a
day, even, is not sufficient, though
horses can get along with 1t as can
cattle, but it is not advisable or hu-
name. In fields where there are full
watering-troughs cattle viii be found

day and horses the same The Ger

After the crash he found the outer
