FREE TRADE wAGEs.

The United States Consul at Berlin
recently furnished the State Depart
ment with report which contains some
interesting aud instructive information
to those who think 1t good policy to
abolish protective tariff. In the re
port is schedule Of wages paid to me
chanics in the capital OF the German
Empire. Painters receive $3.50 per
week, carpenters S4.99, mascns STA,
moldsrs $4.99. toolsmiths working
thirteen hours day 1917. fle cutters
$3.50, brass founders $4.76, stone cut
ters e4.2s. and glass cutters $3.50. All
classes Of mechanics work from eleven
TO thirteen hours day. These classes
OF workmen are the best paid In the
Empire. Apprentices receive from 81 .66
TO e. per week. Women receive, in the
mechanical trades. from $3.50 TO san
The report further says that the ne.es
saries Of life are as dear in Berlin as In
New York, -four, fish, fruit. etc., being
even more expensive. Wheat fiour in
the Berlin market costs from g. 10 Sc
per hundred, eggs 20 cents per dozen,
butter 30 to SO cents per pound. beet
and mutton for roasts IL to 10 cents,
and pork l6 TO 10 cents. A pound Of
wheat bread costs 10 cents, and black
bread about half that amount. II is
not necessary TO argue to intelligent
men that the abolition OF import duties
will immediately force our mechanics
and artisans into direct competition
with this cheap labor. An article which
can be made abroad by labor at these
prices, il admitted free of duty, will
necessarily drive from market similar
product OF home manufacture unless
the price Of the latter is reduced. Re.
duction In the price of manufactured
articles necessities reduction in the
cost Of manufacture, which must fall
upon the labor employed. The two
other direct results are dimunition of
manufacture and reduction In the nun
Der Of employees. and. as the lie itima,e
sequence, a contraction Of the home de-
mand for breadstuffs and other articles
Of domestic produce. and a reduc, on of
the prices therefor.

The best method of catching hawks is by af1xs

Of the ingredients
The best way to apply salt to paths to destroy
weeds is as follows Boil the salt in water, one
pound to one gallon, and apply the mixture boil
ing hot with watering-pot that has q spreading
rose; this will keep weeds and worms away for
two or three years. Put one, pound to the
square yard the first year; afterward weaker
solution may be applied when required
Raspberries may be grown without stalking.
As soon as the canes reach . height of three or
four feet pinch off the top of each, and soon
as lateral shoots have grown foot or eighteen
inches treat them the same way. This makes
strong stocky bush, able to support itself. and
the fruit is increased both in size and quality.
Trim out the old wood in winter on early in the
spring
4 writer on the subject of the diet Of the
farmer says that mutton and lamb of his own
raising should be SO common on his table as to
make unnecessary the continued use OF saited
meat, of the weekly or almost daily visits Of
the butchers cart. Fresh fruit and vegetables
bread or wheat, rye or Indian corn, sweet butter
and fresh eggs, with nice bit of lamb or NUT

Draining is one Of the most inportant mat
tiers on the farm On piece of Michigan land
containing twenty-five acres, which produced
bog grass, rushes and other valueaess growth, an
expense of nearly $500 was incurred in order to
drain it. The first year after drainage $3.50
was realized from grass alone. a New York
farmer reports that he has land that produces
forty bushels Of wheat per acre which formerly
