OF course England may subsidize lines Of
ships to open up new markets for her surplus
because she freely exchanges commodities
with such markets; and her policy is after
establishing the commerce to steadily de-
crease the subsidy. II the policy of giving
bounties to promote commercial relations
with other countries be ever adopted again
after the failures in our history, it would
seem that its adoption should be deferred
until closer commercial relations with those
countries can be maintained and not antago-
nized by an opposing system of laws.-(Post-
master General Dickinson to Representative
Blount.
This is the Administrations ultimatum to
the American steamship iines "You will
get nothing from the Democratic party be-
yond freight charges for mail carriage until
we have free trade England subsidies its
lines, but that is proper enough. England
has free trade; when we have free trade here
it will be time to deal generously with the
Americal lines"

AN IMPORTANT ITEM.

How to Arrive at the True Value Of Farm
Yard Manure.
In feeding stock upon the farm the
value of the manure can at least al
ways be considered as paying for the
time required to feed, water and care
for the animals, and the work of haul
ing out and applying. We expect, in
addition to this. TO be able to secure
profit in feeding. more than we would
secure if the grain and other feed was
sold instead of being fed out to stock
on the farm.
But in many cases where the land
has been cropped for some time. so
that the soil has in Il measure been
robbed of its supply of available plant
food, the manure may be considered
as more of an object than this. There
are cases where the fertility has beer
allowed to run down. 1t will then be
found sufficiently of an object to secure
n full supply of manure, to feed out
the farm products to stock. even if in
doing so no other profit or benefit is
secured more than the supply of
manure. When this is the case. of
course. it will pay to take as mucu
pains as possible, not only to increase
the quantity, but to save so rs to have
of the best quality. 1t is not altogether
the quantity SO much as the quality
of the manure that makes it valu-
able. This is SO much the case that
sometimes it is advisable to sell
some of the farm products, and pur-
chase bran to feed This is especially
the case when wheat is made one of
the crops raised upon the farm. Some
60 SO far as to claim that the bran.
after being fed to stock. returns, as
manure. the full value of the bran.
There is no question but the feeding of
bran in combination with other ma.
terials. adds considerably to the value
of the manure. while at the same time
it adds to the value of the feed. espe-
cially of the hay. straw. fodder aud
roots. OF course the manure should
he so managed that all the valuable
properties will he saved-neither lost
by lesching or burnt by fire fanging.
The manure that can be made ON
every farm is fully worth the trouble
of feeding the stock. and the saving
anu applying of the manure. and the
surest plan of saving the fertility Of the
soil is to keep all the stock that the
farm products will keep in a good
thrifty cendition. Then make sure
and aPr-y all the manure possible.
Thus fai. II least, the manure Is m
object to every farmer. and under the
present conditions there may he no

Novel Engineering Device.

A French military engineer. NJ Bon
netond. has put dynamite to a new
use IN building foundations in wet
ground. In the construction of fortifi.
cations at Lyons, hole is bored in the
wet ground ten or twelve feet deep
and an inch and q half in diameter.
The explosion of a string of dynamite
cartridges enlarges this hole to about
a yard in diameter. and forces tho
water so far out beyond the sides Of
the cavity that at least half an hour is
required for 1t to find its way back.
This gives the workmen time to intro
duce quickly-setting concrete. The
process is very rapid.-Sciencc.
