There is more catarrh in this section of
the country than all other disease s put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great
many years the doctors pronounced 1t a
local disease, and prescribed local RENE
dies. and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment. pronounced it incur
able. Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease. and therefore re-
quires constitutional Treatment. Halls

Salt for Pregnant Animals.

Pregnant animals may safely be al
lowed free access to rock salt, provided
there has been no deprivation for long
period previously. 1t is very rare that
animals take too much of anything-food
or water-unless there has been long
period during which material of which
they are fond or that is necessary to
them has been withheld. Salt is an es-
sential constituent of the blood, and salt
hunger may lead 10 excess when the ami
NAL is suddenly permitted an opportu-
nifty of supplying its lack; but given
free access no more will be taken than
is necessary to satisfy its wants.
Many of the common folders on which
domestic animals are fed contain only q
small proportion of salt. On some farms
il is lacking in the soil, and the food
stuffs grown on them must of necessity
be deficient, therefore the importance Of
q constant supply should not be over
looked. Rock salt TO lick is better than
a hxed quantity, mixed with the food
unless il is given incidentally, as in cases
Of rot in sheep, or worms in any ami
NAL, because it is possible that more may
be supplied than is necessary when the
animal is forced to take it OF refuse the
food. Salt is a constituent Of milk, and,
If not given TO the COW, it must be drawn
from that stored in her blood and TISSUES
There can, therefore, be no serious de
privation without injury, and if the food
does not contain it in sufficient quantity
IL should be artificially supplied. The
amount may be safely left TO the COW.

Although the iron used for making
steel plates has been cheaper in this
country for month or 50 past than in
Great Britain, a tariff of S2S per ton
enables Mr.. Carnegie TO extort from Du-
luth ship builders $50 per ton for 5000
tons of steel plates, which could have
been bought in Glasgow for half the
money. The lake vessels to the cost of
which the tariff has added this $50, 900
will be used in carrying northwestern
wheat to foreign free trade markets. and
this extra cost will of course be added
to the freight charges and ultimately
come out of the pockets Of wheat grow
ers. IL they cannot see how the tariff
reduces the price of every bushel they
send to market by rail OF water, they
cannot, of course, see how it rob5 them
of large part of what they get for it by
laying taxes on their clothing, sugar and
all they buy.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

A Brief Chapter ON swine.

A brood SOW should have strong, tough
bones. An all corn ration will not pro-
duce them. Professor Henry demon
strated that a corn made bone is much
more easily broken than those grown
from a mixed ration-a ration strong in
albuminoids. In selecting breeding
stock we would always want to know
whether they are from a family noted
for fertility. This is an inherited quality
and cannot be too well established. Like
all valuable qualities in any domestic
animal, IL is easily lost by bad manage
ment. IL is also desirable that the par.
ent stock be Of quiet disposition and
even temperament.
The Jersey red sows are noted as pro
hfic breeders, probably more 50 than any
other breed, and the genuine article in
ia original home in New Jersey will FEED
70 as large weights as any other breed.
Unfortunately their beauty, or, rather,
lack of IL, has never recommended them
to the masses Of swine growers.

MiIIers Want Free Jute.

Though the farmer won't see it, his
next friend, the miller, is beginning to
tumble. The National Milers' associa-
ton have petitioned the committee on
ways and means that jute and jute cloth
or burlap be put on the free list. The
association alleges that, owing to the
present tariff on these raw materials for
flour bags, the cost Of the bags used in
exporting flour was increased from % to
80 per cent, and was heavy burden on
all exporters of -four" OF course the
farmers have no interest in this. They
do not export -four like the millers. But
what about grain bags, on which a SINH
lar tax is levied!

The Deu,riue Duty.

Editor of New York Evening Post
In these days of protectionists' outcries
it is interesting to note the appearance
before the senate committee recently of
a gentleman from Boston asking that
duty of three cents per pound (equiva-
lent to 100 per cent. of its cost shall be
put on imported potato dextrine. when
there is not a single pound of this dex-
trine manufactured in this country.
Whom does he desire to protect? Per-
hzSs future investment of this pet pro-
tectionist as opposed to the interests of
the thousands of textile, paper and other
manufacturers who are using this raw
material in finishing their product.
Though the domestic manufacturers
are making dextrine here from basis
Of corn starch at less than half the cost
Of potato, yet the imported article is pre-
ferred, and they are unable to compete.
The gentleman from Boston omits to
state that dextrine is largely used as a
substitute for glue. which is at present
protected by 90 per cent. duty, whereas
dextrine already pays 40 per cent. His
statement that dextrine is only substi-
tute for starch is therefore incorrect.
Foreign potato starch is taxed 2 cents
per pound, which amounts to almost 100
per cent. Nine-tenths of the domestic
product is made by small factories in the
New England and New York states, and
is almost all controlled eby one Boston
house, which makes cash advances with
good profit to itself, as against the inter
est of the many manufacturers who con-
sumo this article. A protection of SO
per cent. should be- ample to enable this
infant industry to compete with the bet
ter grade foreign articles and give the
manufacturers raw material at a price
which will afford them a chance to com.
pete with imported textiles and fabrics.
We think it about time that the Amer
lean people should cease protecting one
or two favored individuals and monop
olies as against the many manufacturer.
who would be enabled by cheaper raw
material to compete in the worlds mar
ket, and increase our home industrie:
and wealth. JUSTICE.

Renna Without Boston

Mr.. s. G. Bowen, of Medina, N. Y.
appeared at the tariff hearings of the
ways and means committee. His theme
was beans. He read long paper to the
committee on the history of bean grow
ing and bean eating in the United States.
He warned the committee that a tariff
of 10 per cent. ad valorem would be in
sufficient TO protect the bean growers of
this country. Mr.. Bowen thought that
a specific duty Of fifty cents bushel
would about suit him. The desire of Mr..
Bowen's heart appeared to be that as
long as the country lasted beans should
never be sold below 81 bushel.
To Mr.. Breckinridges question as to
who ate most beans, Mr.. Bowen was
obliged to reply that the poorer classes
did. Mr.. Bowen was further obliged to
admit that dear beans meant, therefore,
increased expense to the poorer classes.
The whole subject appears to have
been discussed and settled without the
Intervention of Boston. As dear beans
in the Hub would mean famine in that
quarter of Massachusetts,, it is to be pre-
sumed that the last has not yet been
heard of the attempt to increase the
duty on Boston's one dish to % per cent.
ad valorem.
