Barnes, the great packers and provision
dealers of New England. Last year
this firm paid $4,000 customs tax Oh salt

sity to import fine salt The head of
the flrm says:
We have built up large export trade, and

We want all the restrictions removed from

On lumber there is a duty of 81 per thousand.
II is very important TO this country that we
have free lumber. If we can get our raw ma
terlal free, 1t takes so much off the cost Of
our goods: il enables us TO sell more and TO
do more business. The cheaper we can sell
our products the more markets we can reach
outside of our country. We can do more
business, employ more men, who will have
more work and get more pay.
Gen. Garfield made a strong speech

formed salt trust. He inStanced the
fact American salt was sold in Canada
for less than in the United States, our
people actually being taxed to furnish q
cheaper product than they get them
selves to foreigners. Senator Hale, of

shoats of the same age, size and breed

you have filthy hogs they have filthy

The United States had no tariff on
wool for thirty-five years after the
adoption of the constitution. The
flGcks increased, and the price of wool
Was higher than it is now.
In 1861 the highest tariff ever known
was placed on wool. In two years
farmers were killing sheep for their
pelts and tallOw.
Free trade England maintains on
high-priced lands 3O,OOO,0OO sheep,
against 44OOO,OOO in this vast country,
with its cheap pasturage. In the free
trade Australian colony of New South
Wales the number of sheep increased
l2.5OO.OOO in twelve years, while in the
adjacent protectiOnist colony OF Vic
t0ria they decreased !, 100000.
The United States is the only manu-

probably than the vast mountain

can they compete with this region of the

The Canadian merchants and manu-
facturerS keep a watchful eye upon the
movement in favor of tariff reform in
the United States. They are appre-
hensive that if the cost of manufacture
should be lowered by putting raw ma

be such a cheapening of goods in Ger

ure year old with a little earth
thrown in and leveled. The
teces OF potatoes, containing three
six eyes, were pressed into this, one
foot apart, and the earth drawn back
without pressing down, two inches in
depth. Then three barrow-loads from
the earth closets, fiye-sixths earth. were
spread along the trenches, and two
inches more earth drawn over that.
Three barrow-loads of wood ashes,
which had been leached by the SHOWS
of winter and the spring rains, were
spread next, and the whole was then
left to settle. The trenches were not
yet full, and as soon as the potato
shoots broke the surface the earth
was drawn in to fill the trenches
up level with the surface, or perhaps a
little higher in expectation of a slight
settling yet to occur. The cultivation
was confined to simply stirring the sur
face between the rows, to kill weeds
and keep the surface light. About the
time the potatoes were in blossom we
noticed that the leaves of many of the
plants appeared as if blighted, turning
brown and then black, first on the
edges and then all over, and the stalk
growing yellow and then dying. IhlS
was mystery, but not novelty
to us, for our whole crop last year
went to worthlessness the same way.
But the Rural New Yorker about that
time mentioned the destruction of the
potatoes in many fields near its grounds
by what is known as the cucumber flea
beetle" We examined our vines and
found the beetle there in abundance,
but we hardly dare say that he was
numerous enough, being so small, to do
us the damage we were suffering.
We began to dig the potatoes for the
table in July, when they were little
more than half grown, and continued
to use them as needed till some two
weeks ago, when the remainder were
lifted and weighed. The yield was as
follows:
Thirty plants dug in July and August
gave 304 pounds. The rest, 153 plants.
produced 2O51z pounds. The 80 plants
dug before fully grown would have pro-
DUBBED over 40 pounds, at the same rate
as the others, making the yield on two
square rods over 24515 pounds. This is
at the rate of 1913 bushels to the acre.
which is far more than we have ever
raised ON equal ground in that garden.

Pillow IN THE FALL.
The View of the ST. John Demo-
crat for Wheat and Small
Gnain

The View of the St. John Demo-
crat for Wheat and Small
Grain.
In travelling through Dakota we have
observed that late seeding upon spring
blowing does not pay for the seed, time
and money expended from the time of
seeding until the grain is threshed. Be-
cause of the hard freezing and deep
snow the Dakota soil is always in good
condition in the spring. If the land is
plOwed and dragged the fall before, so
the crop can be put in immediately
after the frost leaving the ground, the
moisture in the ground will give it a
start and impetus that will carry it
safely through the dry weather which
may follow. But if the farmer is obliged
to plow and drag the land before seed
ing, it is not in as good condition. as it
becomes dry by the process of blowing
and dragging. The seeding is DELAYED
at least two or three weeks. If dry
weather sets in it will not stool out at ali.
while many of the tender Schutes will
be killed by the sun. 1t is liable to be
caught by an early frost, and should a
hard frost come as early as it did in
some sections this year, it would be
rendered entirely worthless. 1t would
seem then, in order to engage success
fully in farming in this country it is
necessary if possible, to do all the plow-
ing and dragging in the fall, so that it
may be ready for seeding as soon as
possible in the spring. If there is any
left over summer-fallOw, and have it in
good shape for the next year. But as
the land in this country is all new and
rich, and does not need summer-fallow-
ing yet, if possible, pillow it in the fall.
1t may cost you an extra effort, but it
will pay.

HOW IT Is in Connecticut.

New York Evening Post Letter.
A good illustration of the beauties Of
the tariff was related to me some days
ago. One of our local Democrats,
James Davana. shoemaker, has wife
who works as tailOress. There is a
certain clothing manufacturer here who
is rampant Republican and prOselytes
wherever and whenever he can. He
met Davana on the street and began on
Jim. He told him how the Republican
party protected the American WORKMAN,
and he declared If the tariff were re-
duced the country would go TO the dem
milton bOW-wowS.
Jim listened attentively, and then
said TO the merchant:
My boy went to your store the other
day to buy a pair of pants. didn't hep"
Yes" replied the merchant.
And you asked $3.50 for them?" said
Jim.
YES" said the merchant, ''but they
were all wool and fine pair"
Il know that" said Davana, ''but my
wife made that same pair of pants for
you for 81 cents. Now, 1 would like to
know where the other 81 10 goes to-"
The manufacturer looked at Jim in
horror and then departed.
