ence we have derived from the bites Of
the frec-trade dog in 1857 and 1888 has
not taught them better than to want
the application of any more of his hair
to cure the wounds we have receive
from this very close relative to the
British lion, not only III the two wears
named, but in 1917, 1884 aud 1916. 1t
is common sense to realize the fact that
the period that followed these bites OF
the tree-trade dog were periods of de-
Ginning prosperity, depression to
labor, capital, aud business, with
decrease OF government revenue
and national independence. While this
was true of those periods, it is just as
true that following the enactment of
the protective tariffs of 1913, 1924, 1923,
1912, and 1867, were periods of great
prosperity, individual and national
active and remunerative employment
for labor; wage high; capital seeking
Investment at low rates; public reven-
ues, rs well as private, increasing, and
the country growing in wealth and in
dependence, and instead of borro wing
money to pay running expenses in time
of peace, sometimes troubled with
surplus of revenue. Now, | think the
insult to the intelligence of the people
comes in, as have shown, not against
him who shows and proves these facts,
but against him who asserts that re-
moving this beneficient protection is a
reform, and that the people are going
to stultify and distress themselves by
removing it.

Editor Register 6 Journal AT Chcs-
ter. Orange county. New York. on May
D. 1919, the Charles Kent mare dropped
TO the cover of Abdallah bay colt. se-
scquently called Hambletonian The
dam of Abdallah was of untraced blood.
The mare and colt were purchased by
Mr.. VIM. NJ Rysdvk. the price paid be-
ing Sl25. As the years went by Handle
tonian became the fashionable stallion
of the land and for several years previ-
Gus to his death his service fee was $500.
He died ut Chester. March p, 1876. aged
n years, 10 months and y days. He was
before the public u years rs a stallion
and during this time he got 1880 foals, of
which 81 entered the , 80 list. His SER
vice fees amounted to S20j. $50. Among
the best of his get of trotting sires was
George Wilkes, with record of ? %.
The advocates of the merits of other
families. however. claim that llambletoni-
ans success is not as great rs it should
have been for horse of his opportunities
His entire sons. nearly one hundred and
fifty in number. fell into hands who
pushed them for all they were worth,
and his daughters were given every ad-
vantage in the harcm. When he was the
fashion, selected mares were sent to him.
tthA IilNi BIOhuNt was DdllfuilN utNtl-
oped on the track. With 1880 colts to
fight for room on top, it would have been
strange indeed had not the name of Ham
blctonian been lighted into fame. While
his best son, George Wilkes. has 30 per-
formers in the , 80 list. there are 81
more sons that have but one each in the
80 list and several others that have
none. Another fact, in 1860 HambletUni-
an produced GO living foals and not one
of them entered the 30 list. 1t will be
observed that number of his sons ar
rived at the age of Is years without pro-
ducing more than one 2 80 performer.
A common farm horse could scarcely
have done less had he been mated with
good mares and had his progeny been
trained. The question naturally arises,
Was it not largely through weight of
numbers that the llambletonian family
achieved greatness: p.

The Flow OF Maple Sap.

Timothy Wheeler OF Waterbury, w no
is quite an authority on the maple-su-
gar business, saws on the above topic:
81 have found that trees standing
where their roots, soil aud all are fro
zen the hardest, will run most freely,
having The sweetest sap Take an open
winter, especially the fore part, with
very little snow: and then suppose ma
pie trees stand scattering and isolated,
on bleak knobs where the wind has
kept them bare; a large section of the
top soil, together with the roots in this
section, are frozen, yet the first warm
day that comes sap will run freely. |
have known of winters when there
was no frost in the ground, and yet eX-
cellent sugar seasons followed; but if
there is no frost in the ground we must
have instead large body of snow, or Il
iirst-clasS sugar season Will not follow.
Even in a season when the roots are
free from frost, there is none, or but
very little passage of sap from the
roots. This statement | can demOu-
strate to the entire satisfaction of any
man who will be to the trouble of
calling at my sugar place while sap is
running. | can show by two different
experiments that the main bulk of sap
which we get comes down, and Profess
sor Clark, of Amherst Agricultural
college fame, has demonstrated this
same fact in still another way by a diff
ferent experiment. Some take the view
that the sap is stored up in the tree in
the fall previous, and tapping the tree
causes leakage. | shall not here
controvert this view. Suffice it to say,
all experiments go to show that the
greater part OF the sap is derived from
the atmosphere, and generated in the
trunk of the tree. For many years
have held this view. All sugar makers
know that tae flow of sap is dependent
on atmospheric conditions"

Young VS.. Old Animals for Fattening.

EdttOr Register JOurn0i: Are there
not those who have put to practical test
some of the theories of advanced farm
ing, as presented by the agricultural
board and other scientific gentlemen !?
a brief published record of success or
failure would be alike interesting.
Facts, unvarnished by rhetoric or per-
sonal interests whatwe farmers need d.
1t is now claimed that all farm ami
mails return the most net profit, in pro-
portion to feed given, the first year OF
their lives; that the margin Of profit, if
there be any, diminishcs in order, year
by year, until maturity is reached: and
that under favorable circumstances
only, can old animals be tattcned ON
grain ratiOns, here at the East, with
any margin OF profit.
Is this general truth believed and
acted upon b. farmers, or is the matter
left largely TO chance, in shaping farm
economy in feeding?
"A simple experiment, by the writer,
bearing upon this point, is here sub
mitted and allowed to speak for itself.
December 81 two yoke of cattle &c
customed to grain teed-were fed, wal
cred and weighed upon the same scales.
The first yoke, eleven Years old,
weighed $3.50 pounds; second yoke,
coming three years old, weighed 100
pounds. These cattle were stabbed at
night, fed generously of good hay, WA
ter plenty, but were not carded. The
Old yoke had daily onr-haIt bushel of
coru meal; the Young ,onc-flurth Gushel
of ground corn and oats. Thirty->evcn
DAYS from the first weighing they were
fed and watered as before and put upon
the scales with this result: Old cattle

THE MYSTIC SCANDAL REVIVED.
PASTOR Hunt and His Wife Institute
Cross Suits for Divorce.

NORWICH, CONN, Oct. %. The Rev.
DIR. Hunt, whose connection with the
Mystic church scandal, as pastor of the
Baptist church in that beautitui village
on Fishers Island sound several years
ago, acquainted the people of half the
country with his name, reappears pub
licly in suit for divorce which he has
just begun against his wife. No other
clergyman ever preached in eastern Con-
nectIcut who was so fascinating to the
ladies of his flock. He was eloquent and
magnetic, and he had red hair
He called often at the homes of
his female Pensioners, and strOlled with
them along the tree-embOwered streets of
Mystic. Curious eyes watched him from
behind half-shut blinds Finally be
walked one day on the huckleberry-clad
hills north of the village with an unknown.
fashiOnably clad lady at twilight, and in
one instance was at new London hotel
all day with her in her room. Later he
said she was a relative. The old salts,
who acted as deacOns in his church, drew
the line of liberation at the hill-walking
and hotel acts, a church committee was
appointed to enquire into all the facts in
DR.. Hunts case" and the upshOt was a
sensation that upset the social balance OF
Mystic for year or more.
Mr.. Hunt finally was compelled to quit
the place. He went to a Jersey City
church, and in a few months was in
volyed in a scandal with a female parish
Toner in that city. A year or more ago
he went ives with the purpose of easily
obtaining a divorce from his wife. For
three days lawyers have been privately
taking testimony for DR.. Hunt, at tie
Hoxie hotel, at Mystic, and many village
ladies' who used to be his parishioners
testified strongly in his behalf. Mrs.
Hunt has met her husband in his suit by
bringing a petition for divorce and ali
mony against him. If the cases come to
trial the. whole history of the Mystic
scandal, which was only partially
brought to light, will be exposed in court.
1t is said that some very damaging affida-
Wits that have been hidden for several
years will be presented In support of the
old charge against the clergyman.

to Great Britain. From time to time at
tempts have been made to secure a mar
ket for our charcoal irons In that couu-
try, ana consignments have been made in
the nope OF creating a demand. Some
years since, when, as the result Of dis
plays at Philadelphia and Paris, the
superior character of our common iron
castings became known, it was thought
10 De entirely due TO our iron, and a num-
per OF brands were tried, but it was
quickly found that the secret was not al
together in American pig iron, and pur-
chases ended. So some attempts have
Deen made to create market for our
cnllllng irons for rolls and car wheels, but
English oiiicialism is firmly set against
car wheels for railways, and a c0ld-blast
COKE IRON is manufactured that answers
ialrly we'll for chilling. In the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1884, the total exports of
pig iron to England were only eleven tons,
with one ton additional to Scotland. In
1850 there were about thirty tons and in
1882 nome"
AS is well known, but little charcoal
iron Is produced In Great Britain, most Of
the iron made with vegetable fuel used
coming from the continent, chiefly from
sweden. There are. at the most, but five
charcoal furnaces in Great Britain-One
IN Hampshire, two in Lancashire, one in
Cumberland and one in Argyleshire,
Scotland. All OF these are owned by one
firm, Harrison, Ainsly s. Co., and none Of
them operated regularly, their running
being according to the supply of charcoal
to be obtained in the neighborhood.
Only about 1000 tons are made
yearly. The product, especially that
from the Warrack furnace in Hamp-
shire, manufactured from Lanca-
shire hematites, containing "a to 66
per cent. metallic iron, has an excellent
reputation forquality and strength. From
fortY-six to fifty hundred weight of char
coal ls consumed to a ton of iron. The
coal is valued at 40 shillings TO 70 shil-
lings per ton. This manufacture is prin-
cipally used tor malleable castings, the
same purpose for which the Lake Supe-
rior pig was Imported. That American
irons are admirably adapted to the pro-
ductlon Of malleabe castings has been
abundantly proved by years of use in our
foundries. That they will answer the
requirements Of English works is proba-
bic; bat the question of price is the one
upon whose answer will depend further
