A little time used in the care Of the
harness will make it last much longer.
1t will also be much more comfortable
for the horse il kept soft and pliable.
Ii breaks are properly mended at
night of the day in which they occur,
aad rainy day taken two or three
times year in which to wash up and
oil the harness, one set will do as much
work as three or four sets not properly
looked after The breaks can be easily
mcnded by rivcting the broken strap
together with copper rivets, supplied
with proper washers; or better still,
ty stitching them together with a
proper wax-end.
To oil, take the harness apart, and,
after having soaked it for ten or fifteen
minutes in warm water. clean each
strap separately with a brush and warm
water, in which a little sal soda has
been dissolved ii the harness is very
dirty. Placing the straps on a board
greatly facilitates their cleaning. When
almost dry grease them with ncat's-foot
Gil. mixed with a little lamp black
(cthcr oils will answer the Same pur-
pose, but there arc none bcttcr.) Leave
The strap hanging in warm place over
night, and rub off with q wooden rag

Then, after being put together, they
ale ready Tor use. LIGHT harnesses are
generally washed off with castillo soap
and water. All stitching should be
done before being creased. Farm,

GOOD PROSPECTS FOR CROPS.


The following review of the present
condition and future prospects of this
years agricultural interests in the
Northwest has been prepared with care
and gives some interesting and valuable
points. Seeding in the Northwest has
not been so late since the spring of 1885,
Not until last week was the ground in
anything like favorable condition, and
then IN only a portion of the State and
Dakota. In the southern part of the
State the work is now pretty well under
way, and in the more favored localities
will be finished within the next few days
with favorable weather. In Northern
Minnesota and Dakota work has just
begun. 1t will be general next week,
but will not be finished before the 10th
to the 10Th of May. This is from ten to
fifteen DAYS later than last year The
condition of the ground this year is
better than last, particularly in Dakota
The verv heavy SHOWS sank into the
ground slowly and left the ground in fine
condition. There has been lack of
rain in Dakota for two years, and the
snow this season has filed the ground
with the moisture that was so greatly
needed. In some portions of Dakota
this is regarded as sure indication of Il
good crop, barring other accidents In
Southern Minnesota the ground was in
very fair condition, although little dry
in some places. In the timber sections
the ground was moist and the crop was
put in under very favorable conditio ms.
Since the work of seeding commenced
the weather has been very favorable.
1t Is yet to early to say anything reliable
about the area given 10 wheat this year.
The farmers of Southern Minnesota are
not very much pleased with their ex-
perience of chinch bugs and drouth
during the past two years, and have not
sown as much wheat as formerly, and in
the State as whole it is generally con-
ceded that there will be little less
wheat sOwn this year than last. The
tendency is strong in the direction of d.
versified farming and dairying and
stock raising. In Dakota there will be
large increase in acreage of crops of all
kinds, but there will be probably less
increase in wheat than any other crop.

MR.. LIMBS CRITICISMS OF THE
MILLS BILL.

That eminent free trade paper, the
Chicago Tribune, is compelled to admit
that the criticisms of Congressman John
Lind nnnJfi the Mills bill are well-taken,
and commends that gentleman for his
watchful interest IN behalf of his farmer
constituents. For instance, Mills and
his conspirators against protection, puts
wool on the free list in the alleged in
terest of the consumer of wooden cloth
ing. But Mr.. Lind shows that by the
readjustment of the duties on wooden
goods the benefit if any to be derived
from free wool goes to the manufacturer,
while the farmer Is not only allowed no
protection on his wool but is allowed no
advantage in the way of cheapenedgoods.
Mr.. Lind holds correctly that ''it will
not do to cheaper raw materials while
keeping up or advancing the duties OH
finished products. This was the mis-
take made by the committee in deal
ing with the sugar tariff, which was re-
arranged so as to greatly cheaper the
raw sugars used by the trust-monopoly
refiners while maintaining tine high rate
on the refined articles suited to i'm.
mediate consumption" Such tariff
changes Mr.. Lind argues, IMPLY offer
trusts and monopolies SO much more
bonus, and by combining among them
selves they may seize all the advantages
accrulng from the reduction of duty on
raw material while allowing the public
no benefit in reduced price of the
finished product. Mr.. Lind points out
also that while fax-seed, a Northwestern
product, is put on the free list and de-
prived of 10 per cent. bounty protection
against consumers heretofore allowed it,
a protective duty of 80 per cent. is pre-
served for the benefit of the Louisiana
sugar. planters and one of over LOG per
cent. for the rice growers of South Caro-
lima. He notes many other like crudites
in the Mills bill, including retention of
the coal tax for the benefit of bosses in
Virginia, a retention of the iron-ore tax
for the profit of the bosses of Alabama,
while salt and lumber are put on the list
because they do not effect the South.
While the radical tariff reformers claim
that the bill may and should be fixed up
and passed In a more creditable and

shown by Mr.. Lind are sufficient to
commend defeat. The Democracy has
only again showed its incapacity to
properly manage any legislation intend
cd 10 benefit the entire people. It's At
tempts uIe all bunglingly managed and
generally Lave for their object tho fur

ton which dominates that party. The
Republicans should present tariff re-
