who have attained, prominence, aud been;
most successful pecuniarily in poultry
breeding, commenced with one variety;
and not till that was thoroughly mas
tered, and the fine points of mating and
matching for.:.eXhtBtion satisfactorily;
adjusted, did they branch out into the
cultivation Of other varieties. 1t is all
very we'll to be known as h breeder of
several or many different {! varieties of
fowls, but it is far better to be well
known as an cmincntly successful breeders
of one variety than an indifferent breeder:
of many. No one cause has affected the
permanent retirement from the business
"f poultry breeding of so many wf1ofhAve
started with high hopes and full conf
dencc of success as the mania,for attempt
ing too much in the beginning. Whether
this is the result of the tendency to talitf
expansion, so prevalent in all American
business, or the engrossing nature of the
pursuit, which leads its dHvotees, par
tcularly those who have Just caught the
infection, and have not settted down TO
steady work, to launch out into every
new branch which hits their taste, is a
matter which affects the result in no way.
The fact remains that too much poultry
work is overdone rs to quantity and un-
derdone as to quality. -Poultry Yard..

WHEAT GAIN By SPRING NARROWING.

WHEAT gain Bf SPRING NARROWING.
We have made repeated trials with
narrowing wheat in spring with smooth.
ing harrow, the work being done first as
soon as the ground was sufficiently hard
and dry, and again when about a foot
high Breaking the hardened crust and
making fine, mellow surface among the
plants had obviously an excellent effect :;
tho heads of wheat were longer than US
uai, and the increase was estimated at
hve bushels more per acre than unhar
rowed wheat. The last narrowing was
accompanied with the sowing of clover
seed, which succeeded well and produced
good growth. At the last narrowing the
harro& was passed over the wheat twice,
1he tirst before sowing the clover-seed,
the last after the operation. Any slant
tooth harrow, with numerous fine teeth,
will answer. The teeth need not be
sharp, provided they are sufficiently SO to
mellow the crust; generally, however,
the sharper the 5etter.--Me;o Y;r5

PRESIDENT coRBINs EpIcr.

recent dispatch from Philadelphia saws,
NOT Reading Railroad man took a drink
IN the saloons around the Ninth aud Gre.n
street. station last night. While crowds
passed i'm and out of the brightly-lighted
saloons on the south side of Green street, q
bunch OF railroad men stood In front OF the
depot, talking of President Corbin's procla-
nation against the "boozers" of the road.
PRESIDENT Cor6in's edict of the afternoon was
a firm one, aud stirred up lively talk among
the employees. In his order Mr.. Corbin
said:
"All suparintenients will bo held strictly
relating TO the use of intoxicating liquors by
employees Men who violate it must be
promptly discharged, and proof that
a man goes inside, drinking place
while OH duty will DO ample owl
9ence to warrant his immediate dismissal.
Men known to drink to excess or to fire.
quent drinking places while Off duty must
he discharged. When employing new men
strict inquiry should, be made as to their
habits, and preference always given to those
who do not usc Intoxicating liquors Mt oil.
Heads of departments must keep Informed
as to the habits Of the men under them, and
make sure that these rules are strictly OBJ.
This order applies to every one in Read
ing's army Of employees, from high officials
with big salaries TO the hagmeu at crossings,
and there were many different comments by
the employees.

cmp!oye at Ninth and Green streets.
There is an order i'm the book Of rules of
the company directed against Incorporate
employees, and Mr.. Corb;n is just reminding
the division sup,rintendents that tho rulo
must be strictly enforced. This is done to
save the lives of tn, employees and passen.
gers, whilo at the same time it saves the
harl earnings OF many men who otherwise
would spend them in saloons.
PRESIDENT Corbins positive stand against
the drinking habit among employees of the
Reading is said TO have been fest prompted
by observing mazy-mindei anl shaky clerks
wrestling with columns of figures. When
Mr.. Corbiu became Presid mt OF tho COM
pany it was the custom to furnish a free din
20 every clerk in the Fourth street office.
When President Corbin began to curtail ex-
penses he did away with The dinner; three-
quarters of an hour was given the clerks to
go outside of the Office an buy their dinners.
While out at dinner some of the clerks fell
into the habit OF drinking, and at times went
back to their desks carrying what is vulgu.

forbddiug clerks to drink during Office
hours, but the order of. to-,lay, is directed

TARIFF ON GOODS IN BOND.
Amount Needed to Get the Consixn.
ments Out Of New York's Custom House.

Some concern has been felt in New York as
to the effect Of the Mckinley bill in cases where
goods of the classes On which the customs
tariff is raised are now in bond, having been
appraised at the old rates. All sorts OF reports
have been current as to the amount of money
which will be needed to withdraw these goods
SO that they may escape the higher rates. The
bears would listen to no estimate lower than
a1O0, O0O, OOO
The believers in better prices for stocks run
to the other extreme. and were certain that
only SlO, GOO, 600 would be required.
Collector Erhardt, to settle the dispute and
to give the facts. has issued u statement which
shows that the duties chargeable on goods in
the warehouse at New Yofk September were
SlS,447.352. Certain information. which was
accepted rs sound. WAS to the effect that by
OctOl'er /, the day on which the goods must be
withdrawn If they are to escape the new duties,
the duties chargeable will not be over 80, 0OO =
600.
1T should be taken into account" continues
Collector Erhardt's official statement. 'ln con-
sidering the foregoing figures of duties (slS,-
AT 1850 that the pending tariff bill docs not in
crease the duties on all the goods now in bond
aud that therefore the whole of the property
not only need not be, but will not BE-, with
drawn from warehouses;"
Just what proportion Of the whole sum will
be Withdrawn II is difficult to say, but the opin-
ion OF some of the deputy collectors who have
had long experience in the service is that they
will not exceed one-half Of the gross amount
1t was said that the dry goods importers and
other importers will petition Congress to ex-
tend the time for Withdrawing the goods from
bond. Mr.. Edward Lauterbach has gone to
Washington as the representative of many i'm
porters for this purpose. Moreover, it was said
on good authority that Secretary Window ia
v0red an extension of time and would do every
thing to forward the suggestion.
