How TO Use Sulphur.

1t is well to remind those who are
fighting insect enemies that in the use
of sulphur it is dangerous to use the
word "fumes," as many persons will
understand this as meaning that sui
phur must be ignited as we produce
the fumes of tobacco. This would de-
strOy all plant life as well as the in
sects, but the sulphur placed under
hot sun or on pipes or hues, and so
warmed TO a degree less than ignition,
gives off vapor that insects do not
like, without being dangerous to veg

When VIII Farmers Learn IT,

How many dairy farmers will learn
during 1886 that it costs next to moth
ing to add a generous grain ration to
the forage fed to cow every time she
is MIXED. Some will learn it but
the most of them will say Hhumbug,"
and go on stripping half-starved cows
to get them to earn $50, when for so
they might make them earn $50 in
milk, and add nearly so to the value
of the manure. In two years that
would add enough fertility to the soil,
so that another mouth could be added
to the herd. Compound interest is a
wonderful thing-tO the man who gets
it; but compromising the fertility of
the soil through modern methods beats
it u. S. Dairyman.

At this season of the year those who
use the pillow and cultivatOr in orchards
should be careful and not mutilate
fruit trees. The cherry is very sensi-
tive to injury of any kind, but espe-
cially to bruise. A blow from the
back of hoe, or the scratching and
bruising by the singletree in cultivat-
ing the garden, will cause damage that
the tree will never OutgrOw. A kind
of gangrene sets in, from which the
tree will weaken and eventually die.
A case is cited where the bark of a
thrifty Young cherry tree was broken
by kick given to shake some scatter
ing samples from II young tree three
or four inches in diameter. The break
see-med trifiing, but the next year the
bark was dead two inches around the
break. The injury continued to spread
until the trunk lost most of the bark
and the tree died. l have also heard
of apple trees carelessly bruised which
gradually decayed from the day on
which they were injured, and finally
died Cultivator.

Reports on the New Tariff Bill.

DIVERSE VIEWS OF THE MAJORITY AND MINOR
ITY OF THE WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE.
The main features of the tariff bill reported
to-day by the ways and means committee have
been concisely stated in THE STAR. The report
of the majority of the committee accompany
Ing the bill says that the annual reduction of
revenue, If it passes, will amount to about
$24, 100000. The duties intended to be re-
moved are those on articles used by our own
manufacturers, which increase the cost of their
productions, so as to make their Competition
with foreign countries hopeless. The placing of
wood, salt, wool and hemp on the free list is tor
ton OF wool is discussed at length. at APP
pears" says the report, "that the attempt to
make wool-growing profitable by the use OF the
taxing power has not been successful, while the
tax has been the great national hindrance to
the Mountaineering industry, well a
most grievous burden upon all buyers of WOODEN
clothing" The bill proposes they say, to lessen
the cost of shelter, food and clothing for the
people. and at the same time to benefit domes-
also, TO correct some of the classifications, rid
the custom laws of the complications of which
the Secretary complains, and SO change these
laws for the better that they will be capable of
being administered with impartiality to all our
merchants.
The minority report, drawn up by Mr. McKin-
of the committee, takes grounds against a re-
ductiOn of duties, and says: Nothing is more
unsound and fallacious than to assume that a
reduction of duties is demanded when average
ad Valorem rates show a high per centage.
To base reduction of tariff duties upon
the present business condition and the present
low values and Improbable prices is to assume
that the present unsatisfactory condition is to
continue and ought to-" The report claims

passage.
