Tho Administration Preparing . Retalia-
tory Measure Against Canada.
WAsH1NGToN. Aug. Cit is stated that
the administration is considering a plan
whereby the Canadian railways will be re-
stricted in the privileges they now enjoy
in crossing our frontier. The details have
not been fully determined, and if they
we're it would be impolitic to prematurely
mako them public. The proposed plan
will not be known a. retaliatory measure,
neither will it require action by congress
to carry it into effect. It will be
solely IN administrative measure and form
ulated by the treasury department. Retail
iation is harsh word, but by whatever
name it may be known, it will be quite a.
satiafactory to the average American who
10 lrritated BY the course Of the Canadians
AZ II it was labelled retaliation with . big
b. The administration feels that Canada
should bs brought to understand that oour-
tesies exist among nations a. among indi-
viduals. and that if she begrudges us fair
play We shall not accord it to her. This 10
the logic Of the situation. Canada, it ID a.
serted, has treated us shabbily at both ends
Of the line. Her treatment of our Atlantic
nsnerman 10 regarded aS unjust and afbi-
traYy and her p0achinR in BehFing sea is
looked upon as reprehensible. Tho presi-
dent and members of his cabinet are tired
of it and before many days their dissasit-
faction will find expression in we'll CON
sidered movement which it ia believed will
speedily bring Canada to her senses.
It is not intended in the curtailment Of
the privileges now accorded to the Cana
dian Pacific road and Grand Trunk road
that the American patrons Of those CORPORA
lions, either in New England or along our
northern borders, shall suffer in conse
quence. The plan, it is believed, viii be
acceptable to all the residents on this side
of the line, and at the same time be 10 ef
fective in its application a. to result in
material increase Of national courtesies
from our Canadian neighbors on the north.

An idea of earthly comfort, so common

nnr.r Making Mi,hnu, Ice.

Ice is always luxury and a convenience,
and we always fill our ice house, but not
because we need it for the dairy as, after
thoroughly testing it, we found that better
results were obtained without il. Cream
raised in ice water appears TO be more po-
rous and lays up light and spongy, and the
nearer the freezing point it gets the more
light and fluffy it seems to be, and IL is a
fact that butter made from cream that is
raised in ice water will not keep in good
condition as long as that made without ice
unless it is continually kept at the same
low temperature as that at which the cream
was raised. By not using ice to raise the
cream, all this trouble is avoided. Suppos
ing that without ice not quite all the butter
fats are recovered There will not be
enough left to over fatten any calf. The
largest and best fat globules rise first, aud
the smallest and poorest last. We are get
ting fine favored butter by losing the
smallest and ilavorless globules but we got
all the cream that could be raised by any
method of setting milk, as when the skim
milk was reset, not the faintest shadow of
cream would rise on it. chemical analy-
sis might have recovered some but what
if there is little fat left in the milk, that
we cannot get by any ordinary means, and
some of the best dairy authorities say it is
not good for anything if we can get it, how
much loss is il Cor. HOdrds Ddirymdn.

An Important LAW for American Farm


The meat inspection bill which has passed
the House and now awaits the signature of
the President has not been given that share
of popular attention which its Importance
warrants 1t is measure fraught with
great significance TO those European ma
tions which unjustly discriminate against
American products and it confers vast re
sponsibilty upon the President Senator
Edmunds is credited with being the origin
ator of the BILL which has been before Con
gress for several sessions. The provision
of the bill which contains the real gist of
it is as follows
THAT whenever the President shall be
satisfied that unjust determinations are
made by or under the authority of any for
eign state against the importation to or sale
in such foreign state of any product of the
United States he may direct that such
products of such foreign state so discrim-
mating against any product of the United
States as he may deem proper shall be ex
cluded from importation to the United
States and in such cases he shall make
proclamation of his direction in the prem
ises, and therein name the time when such
direction against importation shall take eff
feet, and after such date the importation of
the articles named in such proclamation
shall be unlawful. The President may at
any time revoke, modify, terminate or re-
new any such directions as, in his opinion,
the public interest may require"
Another section of the measure reads
THAT whenever the President is salts
fed that there is good reason to believe
that any importation is being made or is
about to be made into the United States
from any foreign country of any article
used for human food or drink that is adul-
terated to any extent dangerous to the
health or welfare of the people of the
United States, or any of them, he may is
sue his proclamation suspending the impOr-
tation of such articles from such country
for such period of time as he may think
necessary to prevent such importation, and
during such period it shall be unlawful to
import into the United States from the
countries designated in the proclamation of
the President any of the articles the i'm
portation of which is so suspended"
That is, if the President is satisfied that
England France or Germany is discrimin
ating against us by excluding our hogs and
cattle by regulations which cast a stigma
on our commercial name, he may, in retail
iation, by his own act and without apply
ing to Congress, see that any or all of the
products of the offending country are ex
cluded. The second section which we have
quoted contains covert threat that il
France and Germany continue to MAKE
their pretence that American pork prod
ucts are unwholesome a subterfuge for ex
Guiding them from their borders, Americ'
can retaliate by excluding suspicious Frencl
and German wines 1t will be seen, more
over, that the bill, as enacted makes it ex
ceedingly dangerous for France and Ger
many to carry out their professed intention
of resenting the Mckinley bill by means o

1t is rare that crop failures are so many
and general as now reported, says the
Springfield Republican. The wheat yield
is much below the average, not only in the
United States but over the world. Less
than one third the amount of corn produced
last year will probably be harvested Po-
tatoes are short in the West and an almost
total failure in Ireland. The peach crop is
a failure, the apple crop nearly so and gar
den crops and vegetables, particularly in
the West, have generally suffered from
drouth and other causes. The crops in the
lower sections of the province of Quebec
are so far failure that government aid is
sought, and hundreds of families are pre-.
pairing to leave. A winter of higher prices
for food products generally seems to be ap-
preaching in both Europe and America.

Beware of the wild carrot now freely
showing its white umbels by the roadside,
in home lots and pastures, Like the dock
and the thistle it is Il useless weed and dan
gerous to good farming. 1t is an insidious
enemy, hiding itself among the grasses, and
adapting itself to circumstances, though it
has a gravellv tendency. One root will
sometimes have dozen sprawling branches,
every branch a head and every head yields
seed a hundred fold. Its growth is an iudi
cation of indolent farming, and of a mort
gage near at hand, Every good farmer
should wage war against the spread of the
wild carrot Springfield Republican.

forever abjure the pernicious practice of
meadow pasturing in the fall The lesson
has cost him at least ten tons of good hay
in one season, and that shortage coming
from IA ten acre lot we call d lesson severely

young stock on the meadow until freezing
weather last autumn, and the result was as
before stated As if to more strkingly il

rioration, Just over wire fence lay large

While contention may sometimes be the
only way TO lasting peace, it is a sad altern
alive, and only justifable when it is clear
that this is the necessary means for attain
ing this desired end. 1t is the opposition
which the grange teaches to strife and liti-
cation that more than anything else proves
the wisdom of the founders of this great
organization. We do not exaggerate in
saying that the grange is, with the spirit it
inculcates, the best bond Of good feeling be-
tween all sections of the country. 1t is to
the grange spirit il not directly to the
grange organization, that is due the refusal
Of the southern people to attempts boycott
of northern products. That proposal was
in spirit very like the angry attempt, 30
years ago, of the southern people to set up
an independent government. There was
then no grange, with its bond of union and
lessons of good feeling. 1t is to grange
influence and teaching that the country is
largely indebted for the passing over of a
storm which threatened injury to all, be
cause it involved cessation of the harmo
ny and good feeling between North and
South that is helpful alike to both.-Amer.

The apple crop this season is quite gener-
ally failure, and more SO than last year,
when the crop was a good one through
Michigan and some parts of Canada. This
year nearly all the apples will be grown
too far south for profitable marketing.
Even the late winter varieties of northern
ATTITUDES become fall apples if grown far
enough south. The Russell and Northern
Spy grown in Missouri cannot be kept
much if any later than January. But there
is one way that apples everywhere can be
saved. Put them through the evaporator,
and make the best product the fruit is ca
pable of doing, and there need be no fear
that good market next winter will not
reward the industry of summer and fall.
Scarcity of apples will make all kinds of
fruit more valuable the coming season.

Men who have given some attention to
the subject, say that a tree cut in August
and allowed to lie without trimming till the
leaves have dried, will be free from sap and
much more durable than if cut in the spring
when the sap is more active. DR.. Jabez
Fisher of Fitchburg, an extensive grape
grower who uses chestnut timber for trellis
stakes, contracts to have the trees cut late
in the summer, when in full leaf. Another
prominent gardner says white birch bean
poles and pea brush cut in August or later
will last two years without much breakage,
while the same trees cut in March will
scarcely stand through one season. If this
is true the fact is one which farmers should
note and take advantage of.
