Iced Tea is Bad.

The Waterbury american notes that the
Express calls iced tea chemical mis-
take" and adds at is one of those fasci-
mating drinks which destroy sleep and
shatter the nerves as eiectually as lager
beer or whisky when one does not know
how to use it. That is where the mistake
lies, with the user, not the tea" Yet iced
or cold tea is not tea at all. 1t is, to all
intents, fannie acid. 1t represents an ex-
tremely unsuccessful experiment in chem
istry-thas is, it is mixture of elements
which were never meant to combine for
the regalement of mans stomach. To the
taste none Of the distinctive elements of
tea seem to be present in the iced form
except the tannin. This may be weakly
disguised with powdered sugar, but usually
it is accentuated by the addition of lemon
juice. Undoubtedly, however, as our
Waterbury contemporary notes, the theme
(or alkaloid which gives tea its intoxicat-
ing qualitIes) also is strongly present in
the chilly mixture. Iee-water does no
harm to the vast majority of mortals; but
iced tea is a bad break.-BgfdLo Express.

Cook ed Feed for Pigs.

Cooked feed paid me well in the case
of young hogs. L have never seen
pigs grow, faster than mine did on
cooked pumpkins. potatoes mixed with
bran. shorts or ground feed of any de-
scription. I honestly would not use
any dry feed for my young stock dur
ing our long winters, nor would I use
cold water. Cooked oats with pota-
toes or any roots make all my pigs
feel happy in winter time. / do not
use any warm food during the sum-
mer; but as soon as the ground is
frozen 1 begin with warm slops. L
save at least half of the feed in this
way. cook two barrels of mixed
food in the morning and feed one in
the morning and one in the evening as
slop. The latter. if covered. will keep
warm until evening. 1 have fifteen
brood sows and twenty shoats. My
brood sows do very well. have no
complaint to make with regard to
their losing their litters as they would
do if fed on raw feed when corn only
is fed to them during the winter

A. CRACKED KEYSTONE.

Taxes That Hurt the Farmers and Handi-
cap the Manufacturers.
/ Aleading protection journal declares
that 1.-The wool duty is the keystone of
the tariff" and says:
t.Free wool means free goods OF all
sorts and no protection for American
labor" IT, i3
This is candid admission that the
present tariff is the result of log
rolling combination, the leading mem
bers of which prevent relief to the
people in any direction by threaten
ing the retaliation of a general aban-
donment of high duties as punish
ment for yielding at any point 'tt
This menace has essened effect
upon the wooden manufacturers, who
see ruin to their industry as the result
OF carrying alone the handicap of
taxed raw material in competition
with the mills of more enlightened
countries. They are moving for free
wool in a manner which promises to
crack the "keystone of the tariff"
President Grant stated the true
economic view of this question in his
annual message for 1874 in saying:
1.-The Introduction free of duty OF
such woods as we do not produce
would stimulate the manufacture of
goods requiring the use of those we
do produce, and therefore would be a
benefit to home production" And
again in his message for 1875: These
duties Gon raw Materials not only
come from the consumers at home, but
act as a protection to foreign man.
'ufdcturers of the same completed
articles in our own and distant
markets. :" E Ft go ftr4
There is not a more absurd, bar
barous and hurtful tax laid in this
country than the tariff on wool. It
hurts tho farmers, it handicaps the
manufacturers and it makes clothing
dear.-N. Y. World.

The "Touch of Nature"

The ''touch of nature which makes
the whole world kin" was exemplified
this summer in little Swiss village. An
American gentleman travelling for his
health, accompanied by his sister. died
suddenly OF hemorrhage at the village
inn. A temporary interment was nee
essary to permit communication with
friends this side of the water At the
simple service in the little cemetery
on the mountain side the bereaved
sister noticed with surprise four gem
tlemen, evidently not natives, standing
a little away from her with uncovered
heads. She found out afterward that
Of these self-imposed mourners one
was Scotchman from Glasgow, an
other an Englishman from Sheffield,
and the others two German gentlemen.
The latter were travelling in company,
but were strangers to the others, who
in turn were unacquainted with each
other. Yet all of them had delayed
their departure over one diligence to
pay q tribute of respect to the UNI
known man. dead in a strange land,
and the solitary mourner far from
home. WITNESS.
