CARNEGIE LIKES TT.

A Melrose, (Scotland,) dispatch of
JUNE %, 1888, says:
Carnegie carries copy of the Repub-
lican platform as adopted III Chicago
and cherishes it with most tender affec-
ton. "what do 1 think of itf' he
said. "Why, it is the finest platform
that was ever constructed. When VIE
read 1t over again last night we came to
the conclusion that there was not even
a single particle that we would wish to
have altered. 1t is a straight, manly
document, MO halfway proposition, O
direct acceptance of the Democratic
challenge, and the contest is now
destined to be On open fight between
free trd6e and protection. There can
be no more skulking now. The denou-
ment of the Mills bill is simply glorious,
q straightforward shoulder blow. With
that platform I have not the slightest
fear of the result. We are certain of
victory with such a square-cut issue,
and there will be no hesitancy on the
part of the voters in deciding between
free trade and protection"
OF course Carnegie "cherishes"
declaration of principles which, if tri-
umphant. will continue to pour the
shekels into his already plethoric cof-
fers. 1t is through protection" that
his proits-the profits of the labor of
an army of workmen, whose wages
were recently cut down 10 per cent. to
add to the insatiate greed of soulless
employer-are swelled to the enormous
sum Of 81, 100000 year; it il through
protection" TINT the necessnries of
life, the essentials of the bone and
sinew of the nation, are compelled to
pay tribute to the MAN of wealth, such
as Andrew Carnegie and his class.
These are the men who "cherish" the
principles of protection as laid down in
the Chicago platform.

this country except ct profit; and it is
just AZ reasonable to suppose that goods
would be sold in Elko at tho same
price they are now if the railroad would
carry them free of charge, as it is to
argue that the foreign producer would
sell goods just as high when he paid u
duty Of 20 per cent. as when dc paid
40 per cent. on the value of the goods
imported. It matters not who pays the
duty, the amount is added to the cost
and the consumer pays it in the end.

AMERICAN WOOL.

WHAT 1T COSTS TO RAISE A POUND OF 1T.
The Boston Commercial Bulletin has
collected from wool growers in all parts
of the country statistics showing the cost
to the grower of raising a pound of
American wool. In summing up the
result the Bulletin says editorially:
american fine wool costs the grower,
without his own profit or freight to mill,
from to Is cents more the secured
pound, according to the grade, than the
corresponding grade of free foreign
wool would cost the American manu-
facturer at the mill American medium
wool similarly costs the grower from
to 3 cents more the secured pound than
free imported medium woods would cost
the manufacturer. The prediction is
made that the removal of the duty on
cOmbing or clothing woods would destroy
the raising of MerinO wool in this coun-
trv, but that in the older States, rs in
Canada to-day, sheep might be grown,
not for wool, but for mutton, and as the
Merino sheep does not make good NUT
ton, the Down or CotswOld sheep that
does, would take its place"

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1855.
Observation-Disclosures.


The annual report of the Commission
er of Education formulates the statistics
of that department down to 1856. The
State school systems are fully set forth
in a voluminous appendix, with com
parative table of the statistics of State
systems of public schools. The total eX-
penditure of public money for educa-
tional purposes by the States and Terri
tories during the year 1885 g reached
the sum of Sl1l, ,304,927. This exceeded
the expenditure of the previous year by
s920,270. The expenditure per capita
of average attendance was sl5.29, of
which $l3.l4 was for current purposes.
In this estimate no account is taken of
the money expended in the support Of
private schools and institutions of learn
ing.
The total enrolment, l !, ,435, ,297, shows
an increase as compared with the preyI-
Gus year of 265,374, or 2.37 per cent.
The increased enrolment in the Terri
tories is especially noticeable, except in
Arizona and Utah, where it is less than
] per cent. Connecticut and Rhode Is
land show slight decrease. The larg-
est increase is in Alabama and Kansas,
being above 8 per cent. The average
daily attendance for the whole country
is 7,2796l6, an increase of 374 ,99l, or
5.49 per cent. The greater increase in
this total than in that of enrolment in
dicates greater regularity on the part of
pupils and greater efficiency in the school
systems.
In addition to the State and Terrific
rial systems of public schools, statistical
inquiries have been made in many other
directions. A table is given embodying
a comparative statement of some of the
results of these efforts, as they appear
in the present and the preceding annu-
al report. In the present volume All
cities, with population of l2,l3O,OOO,
are reported as in correspondence with
the department. During the year the
pupils in the city schools increased from
l,941, ,133 to 2,185,418, with correspond
ing increase in the number of teachers.
The normal schools decreased from 263
to l53, and the pupils therein from 3d.
l35 to 40,325. There was an increase in
commercial and business colleges and
kindergartens, and decrease in institu-
tions for secondary instruction and for
the superior instruction of women.
There was a sharp decrease in schools of
science, while schools of theology, of
law and of medicine show fair in
crease. Industrial and Misunderstanding
schools, which were not reported in
l884-5, now number 63, with 582 teach
ers and 1890 pupils.

SOME SIMPLE REMEDIES.
Good Housekeeping.

Good Housekeeping.
For a sore throat cut slices of fat,
baneless bacon, pepper thickly, and tie
around the throat with a flannel cloth.
When stung by bee or wasp, make a
paste of common earth and water, put
ON the place at once and cover with a
cloth. For cold on the chest, fan
mel rag wrung out in boiling water and
sprinkled with turpentine, laid on the
chest, gives the greatest relief. When
a felon first begins to make its appear
ance, take a lemon, cut off one end, put
the finger in and the longer it is kept
there the better. For cough, boil one
ounce of f1axseed in a pint OF water,
strain and add little honey, one ounce
of rock candy, and the juice of three
lemons; mix and boil well. Drink as hot
as possible. Often after cooking meal,
a person will feel tired and have no ap-
petite. For this beat raw egg until
light, stir in little milk and sugar and
season with nutmeg. Drink half an hour
before eating. For burn or Scald make
a paste of common baking soda and
water, apply at once and cover with a
linen cloth. When the skin is broken
apply the white of an egg with a feather;
this gives instant relief, as it keeps the air
from the flesh. At the first sight of run
round, take cup of wood ashes, put in
a pan with quart of cold water, put the
pan on the stove, put your finger in the
nan, keep it there until the water begins
to boil, or as long as it can be borne
Repeat once or twice if necessary.

FARM AND LIVE STOCK.
CROP ROTATION.

OhOI hO1 Al 1ON.
The Ploughmau.
Long experience confirms the theory
that the same crops, though adequately
manured, will in time wear out the ele-
mentS of the soil for which they are
specially adapted, the fact making it
self known by the falling off in their
quantity and quality together. After a
certain period, either the crops have to be
changed OF the land must be suffered TO
lie fallOw The latter treatment is too
expensive in our modern farming, and
therefore the only alternative is to
change tho crop entirely. For this pur-
pose is is of course essential that as
large variety of crops be cultivated as
is practicable. The experiments in the
garden furnish a safe guide for those in
the field. We already know that lands
cropped with wheat or tobacco for a
number of years will steadily decline in
fertility, while those devoted to market
gardening are as steadily gaining in
productiveness. There is of course some
good reason for this besides the charac-
ter of the soil alone. Nor will the queS-
tiOn of fertilization meet the require
ments of the case. 1t is well demonStra-
ted that the crop itself has exhausted
those properties of the soil by which it
is chiefly nourished.
According to Prof. GOeSSmann, the
introduction of clover and potatoes
marks new era in this respect in agri-
culture The old fOur-years' course,
called the Norfolk course" was as fol
lows: First year, root crops-turnips,
rutabagas, etc; second year, summer
grains barley, etc.; third year, fodder
crops-lequminous plants, clover, etc;
fourth year, winter grains wheat, etc.
Now instead of grain crops forming the
objective point of farming, more impOr-
tance is attached to other crops, and in
many cases the latter occupy fully two
thirds of the lands cultivated The
Professor maintains that rotation of
crops tends to increase the chances of
rendering the raising Of farm crops more
remunerative than any of the older
systems of field management. The OBJ
iect aimed at in rotation is to regulate,
as far possible, the chemical and physi-
cal conditions of the soil, having refer
ence to the kinds of crops to be raised.
Any judiciOuS system of rotation as
signs to each crop that place in the
course laid down which promises it the
most advantage in the existing condi-
tiOns of the soil.

OUR CEREAL PRODUCTION

Pittsburgh StOckman.
On the basis of the figuring done by the
Department of Agriculture, the value of
the corn, wheat and oats grown in this
country last year amounted to Sl,155,-
100000, or nearly twenty dollars for each
man, woman and child in the country.
Counting wheat at soc and corn at soc
both enough above the years average
price to cover the value of oats exported
and exports of the three grains reach
ed in round numbers $l55, 100000, leav-
ing only S1,000,000,0O0 worth for home
consumption. To grow these three crops
135,000,000 acres of land are cultivated,
with an average yield worth $8.55 per
acre-a pretty bad showing as to kjnd
of farming for country which leads the
world in the magnitude of its farming.
Exports amounted to about $l.l5 per
acre for this area.

THE LONDON SALES.
Pittsburgh Stockman.

Pittsburgh StOckman.
The January series of colonial wool
sales at London opened on Tuesday of
last week, with 284,000 bales of wool
available. twas expected in many quar-
ters that the sales would start off with a
boom, and in this expectation there has
been disappointment. Competition, how
ever, is reported as fairly brisk, with prices
1c and &c per ID above the December Sc
ries, except on greasy Australian woods,
which are unchanged. The feeling is
uniformly firm abroad, and it is salts
faction to note that there is a little more
firmness in the American market than
at the opening of the year.

THE STANDARD REGISTRATION

THE STANDARD REGISTRATION.
In order to define what constitutes a
trotting- bred horse and to establish a
breed of trotters on a more intelligent
basis, the following rules are adopted to
control admission to the records of ped
igreeS. When an animal meets the re-
quirementS of admission, and is duly reg
istered, it shall be accepted as standard
tF0tting- g-bred animal.
FirSt-Any stallion that has himself
a record of two minutes and thirty sec
onds ESQ or better, provided any Of his
get has a record of 2.35 or better, or pro-
vided his sire or his dam is already a
standard animal.
SecOnd-Any mare or gelding that has
a record of 2.30 or better.
THiId-Any horse that is the sire of
two animals with record of 2.30 or bet
ter
FOuFth-Any horse that is the sire of
one animal with a record of 230 or bet
ter, provided he has either of the follow
ing qualifications: o. A record himself
of 2.35 or better. (2) Is the sire of two
other animals with a record of 235 or
better. 81 Has sire or dam that is al
ready standard animal
FJth-Any mare that has produced
an animal with record of 2.30 or better
Sirth-The progeny of a standard

standard horse.
Eighth-The female progeny of a
standard horse when out of mare whose
dam is a standard mare
Ninth-Any mare that has record of
2.35 or better, and whose sire or dam is
a standard animal.
These rules were established December
Is, 1887.
