GERuAxY seems to be well satisfied
with the effect Of her Protective Tariff.
A Government publication states that
since the adoption Of the tariff in 1888
there has been general increase in wa
ges. amounting in some industries, nota-
bly, those of iron and steel, to 20 per
cent. France also has never been more
prosperous than under the present tariff.
This agrees with the effect Of the tariff

Working the Cotton Fields.

The practice is growing in favor o' broadcast narrowing the cotton field as the young plants are coming up.
 1t is in accord with the best methods, as applied to corn culture in the great West, where it is almost universally the custom to harrow the corn-helds once or twice before the cultivator is used. We rather prefer the longi- tudinal narrowing - lengthwise the rows, especially if repeated. There is nothing that benefits the young cot ton plants, if the ground has been i'm pacted by rains since planting, more than prompt narrowing or mere scratching of the surface, so that the air and sunshine can penetrate to the roots
 After narrowing, if this plan De adopted, or siding with sweep, or bot ter, with a straddling cultivator, comes htc thinning, the most laborious and costly detail of the cultivation. We have several times adopted the plan of chopping, in advance of siding. This can be done with saving of labor to the amount of one blowing, if the cotton has not had heavy rains on it since planting, and is, therefore, free from grass and soil crust. Usually, how ever, it will be found best to frcshen and mellow the surface by the harrow or blow, as soon as the cotton is up, and before the formation of a hard crust
 We always require our hoe hands to go at an almost half walking gait, when chopping cotton. the rule being 'to strike but once in the same place, !" and going over from one and a half to two acres, and sometimes more, per hand, per day. By this plan, We cut out more cotton, destroy more grass, and accomplish many more rows, than by the tedious old-time way of doing the work, and get over the crop in less than half the time. Of course, the hoes should immediately start again in the cotton and put to final stand with more care.
 Follow the hoes with the blow with in two or three days, and if the work bc skillfully done, the crop will be well underway, and safe from grass of an ordinary season. Southern Culti- vator.

 The best feed for young chicks Is bread and milk mixed with dough made from corn and oat meal well cooked. If they get all they will eat of this feed five times a day at regular intervals until they are five are six weeks old. you need not worry to their growth.

THE LONG AGO.
ARKANSAS

Do you think of the long ago sweet wi,n As we sit by the old brool's side. hile the woodb I'd sings and the linden filings It's shadows over the tdes DO you think of the br ght time gone. when we sat by this tinkling stream, Dreahing Tor hours mid it's gay wild flowers AS only youth can dream? fou remember the hawthorn hedge beyond :" heFe the tarushes came to sing hAeh the sky was blue and each green le af
 new
 In the fresh and joyful spring. Blue violets bowed beneath And winds low answers gave Wh le rich and bright the trembling light Lay on the s lver wave.
 You were scarcely a woman then, dear wife, But young girl, sweet and far maiden meek with each soft round check Half-hidden meath waving hair; And flushed to the hue of aa opening rose When my heart poured out its tale While the trees around made a whisp pering
 sound
 At the soft kiss of the gale. My own! you have borne some sorrow since, There are shadows on your brow; Eyes which wero bright as tho stars of night Are dim and sorrowful now. You have folded two dimplcd hands Ger little child's white breast, And lad her to sleep in grave dug deep, But no sound can break MGt rest. We have only each other left to love As we sit ny the old brooks side, Wh.lo the woodbird sings md the linden filings It's shadow over the tide. You wonder how much the heart can bear, And your silent teardrops flow; Let the joy of lite return, sweet wife, For tho sake of our long ago.
