A TASTE OF FREE TRADE.

The politician, who expects the
Western farmers to give any aid
or encouragement to the free trade
heresy, is reckoning without his
host. The Western farmers are
an intelligent, reading, thinking
class of people, and readily detect
the sophistriss of the free trade
theorists. Not only the farmers
but all classes, hold, that revis-
ion of the tariff is ne cessarv, anu
its entire removal is urged where
ever this step becomes necessary
10 destroy a trust. But the farm
ers want protection, and more
protection than they are getting.
They are now enjo7ing taste of
free trade in the depressed values
of horses and cattle and their
present experiences will deter
them from harboring the slightest
idea of free trade for many years
to come, and they only ask that
the same protection be given them
that is extended to others
Every year many thousands OF
cattle and horses are imported,
practically, free of duty. Many of
these, it is true, come in as breed
ers, but a large per cent come as
emigrants' teams and domestic
animals, and are designed for sale
in our markets. Thus it will be
seen that we have competition In
both cattle and horses, and dan.
gerous one it has already shown it.

dangerous if the matter is no,

Beside this importation Of live
stock, free of duty, hides and 6
host of other cattle products are
admitted free to the extent Of
many millions of dollars, and helE
to depress the prices of cattle
The intelligent farmer under
stands this and will ask tina
horses and cattle receive the same
protection as the products of GU,
mills snd factories. In other words
the farm and the shop must be pu
on an equal footing, and then tn
Western farmer can be depended
upon to uphold the American
system that has given the Unite'
States the best home market il
; the world.

THE PROPER CARE OF A COLT.

We will start with the sucking at tho
day of its birth, and presume tt =. i, is of
good parentage, both sire and dam, that
it is sound and able to stand and walk
within fifteen minutes after it breathes.
At the age of week most farmers come
to work the dam and let the sucking
follow around as best he can, and ut the
age Of four months, the colt being then
of sufficient age to wean, the dam has
performed a good summers work worked
just as hard AS her gelding mate with no
colt This method is entirely wrong.
--asated blood, tiresome labor of both
mare and colt is really killing both.
The mare and colt during the first
four, five or six months should be kept
in good pasture where there Is plenty of
practicable to wean the colt at four
months, we certainly prefer six, and now
comes the most important period of the
entire five years of the colts growth, and
if starved or stunted the first winter it
never fully RECEIVERS. Not only the size,
but the whole frame of the animal is in
jured, never to be regained.
The colt should be fed on plenty of
good, clean hay, plenty of water at all
times, and we would give half and half
of ground oats and wheat bran twice a
day, about two quarts at a mess. We
give this dry, but if scalded and then
cooled it will be better. A well-to- do
farmer told me once, this would be too
much ! think he was right for the first
week or two, but certainly not for the
coio winter uuyv, uor-'<s,o--rr;es- either.
l asked him what damage it would do
his answer was too rapid a. growth. He
had previously told me that he would
treat colt as he would boy. 1 asked
him if he ever knew too big n growth of
boy, but to this there was no answer.
The colt should have warm place to
protect himself from cold weather and
storms, bed of dry straw or sawdust to
sleep upon, or to lie down at pleasure; he
must not be confined to the stable, but
have yard; or, better still, an open
field to run in (; in no case should he be
allowed to stand on a hard floor

A French Heroine.

A splendid heroine is Sister Marie The
resc, the superior of the Sisters of Mercy,
now in Tonkin, who was lately created a
Knight of the Legion of Honor, the
Governor General drawing his sword in
presence of the assembled garrison and
lightly touching the shoulder of this ven
erable and devoted lady thrice with the
glittering weapon as he pronounced the
stirring words: SIN the name of tho
French people, in the name of tho French
army, present you with this Cross of
Honori No one has more glorious claims
to this reward, as no one has more than
you devoted whole life to the service
of the country" The troops were then
ordered to s'present arms" and the cere-
mony concluded as impressively as it had
begun. The Governor-General was not
indulging IN any figure of speech when
he thus addressed this heroic lady, for
such record as hers is not an ordinary
one. Sister Marie Therese had barely at
tained her twenty sixth year when she
was wounded at Balaklava as she was
tending the troops on that memorable
battlefield. The Italian campaign was
her next experience, and again She was
wounded at Magenta, in the forefront of
viz - iShSh Al SyiifS Al Shihd ohu
in Mexico she was at her post alleviating
the sufferings of the sick and wounded
but the most splendid achievement of all
was at Reichshofen. On that field
which the French remember with pride,
calling to mind the gallant behavior of
their curiassiers-Sister Marie Therese
wee .piolked up hadly Moundedx amid the
bodies of the slain; but her injuries did
not long detain her from her work of
mercy, and shortly afterwards, a shell
having fallen close to the ambulance en-
trusted to her care, she took the missile
up and carried it to some distance, when
it burst, again wounding her severely.
She had hardly recovered from these ter
rible injuries when she was summoned to
Tonkin and nobly responded to the call

MAKING PORK TOO EAT.

The evil of overwhelming pork is less
common than it used to be. Two reasons
have combined to make lean meat more
popular. The doctors taught that it was
more healthful and nutritious than the

other oils decreased the price Of lard so
that excessive arporx was ncftnrr- prom.
able nor needed. The change in ways of
feeding has also had something to do
with making pork more wholesome. Corn
is no longer the exclusive food even for
fattening. The best practice now is to
feed the rations that will make hogs grow
and keep thrifty from the time it is born
until it is killed. There NAV be eXcep-
tions to this in animals kept for breeders :;
but all Others should be fat enough for
use from the time they arc the right size
for roasting. BY the liberal use of milk,
oatmeal and peas growth is promoted,
along with mt all times enough fat to
make delicious pork, far better than that
made by starving the animal while Young,
and over feeding with corn as they be-
come older.

them. This is best done by inclosing in
small yard where they can obtain little
exercise and feeding literally with mixed
grain, corn, oats and wheat, with occa-
sional rations of boiled potatoes or other
vegetables, chopped apples, etc. But
right here is where the greatest caution
must be exercised, or you will kill the
entire lot in less than IA week. When a
fowl is being fattened remember that it
must have plenty of coarse gravel, broken
crockery or glass to enable it to grind
the increased quantity of food you give
it. And also 1t must have abundance of
pure water. With a sufficiency of these
requisites, and variety of food, fowl
will fatten nicely in about two weeks,
and will then sell for the top prices, while
a common, skinny Gull will not fetch
enough to pay for catching it.-Eram-

A Truly Remarkable Shot.

One frequently hears of "killing two
birds with one shot, but it isn't often
that one hears of killing wild goose on
the wing and a dog on terra-f -frma, all at
one shot. But that is; precisely. what
'Ceptein- 81 Mott, Of Far Rockaway, did,
He was strolling along the shore at Wave
Crest, when flock of Wild geese passed
over him, flying very low. He pulled
out his 80 calibrc revolver Ind shot at the
flock, bringing to the ground large, fine
goose. When the ball descended, IL
struck dog short distance away, owned
by Mrs. Duncan, with such force upon
its head, that the animal expired after
two or three kicks. 1t is pronounced the
shot of the season, and the captain is now
the hero of the hour in cunning circles.

SMUT In WHEAT.

Smut in wheat was once great cause
of loss and complaint, and it was found
that the smut increased when smutty
seed was used. l found by making u
strong brine with blue vitriol dissolved
in it, putting it in tub large enough to
hold tight basket in which the seed
wheat was placed-the wheat stirred and
skinned, then raised out of the brine
and allowed to drain, when it was poured
out or put in bags and so remained twelve
to twcuty-four hours, and then sown in
the usual manner. Inevcr found ~
fail rs a remedy in wheat. Tte~strong
brine was useful to float out light and
probably diseased grains, and also to per-
fectly introduce the vitriol to all the
grains of wheat. Two years ago, think.
ing of this, poured my seed corn on tn,
floor and poured among it solution OF
blue vitriol and gave it good stirring
But it will be seen that that way of ap
plying the vitriol did not surely reach
every grain. The result was much less
smut than in former years. rs.-Hoard',
