Unanswered Questions.

The ssHome Market Club" and
other ultra high protection organi-
cations continue to furnish the coun-
try press, of the proper political
faith, with brief sstariff studies"-
embellished with the. usual news
paper mourning habiliments, turned
rules-the object of which is to
show how much cheaper certain pro-
tected articles in this country now
are than they were ten, twenty and
forty years ago, never forgetting, of
course, to give our protective tariff
all the credit for the decline. Steel
rails, nails, iannels, calico, carpet
tacks and door latches are among
the objects chosen to teach the po-
tcncy of high tariff to reduce
prices. For about six months f. S.
q II. has been trying to get an ans
wer from the inspirers of these
F'tariff pictures to the following
questions, but so far has utterly
failed: If our protective tariff is
the sole cause of the decline in
prices of manufactured articles in
this country during the past ten,
twenty or forty years, why was it
necessary to enact a law last October
increasing the tariff OH many articles
for the purpose of still further pro-
tecting our manufacturers against
those Of England, who have had no
tariff protection for thirty years?
If protection is the cause of lower
prices here what has caused the still
lower prices in England, where there
is no protection? Since your dressed
in-mourning "pictures' force the
inference that you regard low prices
as very desirable, would it not be
advisable to more nearly approach
England's method of securing them? ?
If prices in England are not lower
than in this country then what is
the justification for increasing the
tariff as greater protection against
that country?-Farm, Stock &

How itHurts the Farmer.
Home.

The Republican organs, which in the
face Of overwhelming evidence to the
contrary, insists that the Mckinley
tariff act not only does not injure but
actually benefits the farmer simply pre-
sumo upon the ignoronce and credulity
of their readers. The intelligent west
ern farmer who will investigate the
facts for himself will find that the Nc
Kinley bill and several acts that have
preceded it, have greatly increased the
price of nearly every article he buys.
How can it be possibly otherwise? The
Mckinley act raised the average tariff
rate from about At per cent to about 60
per cent and OH many articles used by
farmers more than doubled the price of
the imported article, with the effect, of
course, Of increasing to that extent the
price our protected manufacturers,
trusts, combines, etc., can get
for like articles produced here.
On one kind of wool dress goods, for
example of the sort used by the poor,
the foreign price is 80 cents per yard;
the Mckinley tax % cents per yard.
The same is true of pearl buttons, spec
tacles, knives, and number Of other
articles the poor must buy.
But on larger items of the farmers
yearly expenditure this increase of
duty is still more noticeable. Agricul-
tural machinery is taxed As per cent.
That is to say, the protected home man
ufacturer is enabled to get nearly halt
as much again for his goods as they
could be had for abroad. This is shown
in the fact that our manufacturers sell
their agricultural machinery abroad at
a heavy discount. The Engineering
and Mining Journal, of New York
publishes list of articles which oul
manufacturers sell abroad for less than
they will sell the same goods here. II
gives the wholesale prices for Americ ca
and then the discounts off for foreign.

Observer Sherier believes that it will
be best to do this early in the morning,
unless it has been very cold the pre-
vious night, and then the smudges
should be started late in the evening
and continued all night. The Argus
would be pleased to receive reports
from farmers who try these smudges
to ascertain if it will be of practical
benefit.
FREE CIRCULATION OF IMPORTATION.
Observer Sherier takes the dew point
every evening at 7o'clock, and he
would furnish that to the railroad
offices for transmission to every station
in the valley any evening when there
is danger of frost if the railroads will
transmit the same free and it can then
deposited. The railroads are interested
in the farmers having this information,
and The Argus would suggest that
Superintendents McCabe and Greene
of the Northern Pacific and Howard
James of the Great Northern request
Observer Sherier to do this, and in
struct their agents to tell the farmers
they will have this information any
night when there is likelihood of
frost and will display a white flag from
the top Of their stations. Farmers
seeing this signal would then know
of the danger and govern themselves
accordingly. The news would soon
spread. Would it not be wise to try
this? There need be no expense, SIM
ply a little extra work. The Argus
hopes there will be no frost, but with
the present stand of grain and the
cool weather there is danger that
wheat may be frosted before harvest,
and every possible precaution should
be taken to provide against any mis-
hap.-Fargo Argus.

fore correct comparison can be made.
The ordinary thermometer has brass
scale extending below the bulb which
must be filed off as follows for the wet
thermometer: Remove the thermome-
ter, scale and all, from the outer case,
then take eff the thermometer from
the scale and file the brass case in two
about one and half inches above the
bulb. When the thermometer is put
back on the scale the lower (bulb) end
must be tied to the scale by waxed
cord.
| Then make wooden case of lattice
work-common lath may be used-this
should be about foot wide, two feet
high, and from four to six inches deep,
with lattice case door. Place this case
OH the north side of a tree or wall
about six feet from the ground. Take
two blocks about two inches square
and eight inches long and nail them
up in the case and fasten the thermo-
meters to them so that the bulbs will
be below the lower end in the free air
and two inches from the back of the
box. Under the wet thermometer
place cup, with the top of the water
about two inches from the bottom of
the bulb of the thermometer. Take a
piece of candle wicking, put one end
in the cup of water and split the other
and put it over the other end of the
thermometer, fasten it there by small
piece of soft muslin. Use rain water
in the cup underneath the thermometer
and change the muslin and wick as
they become brown.
TAKING THE DEW POINT.
From to p. m. look at your ther-
mometer and after taking the temper
ature of both, look at the following
table and find the dew point:

THE FIRST LINE.

Observers should remember that it
is not necessary for the mercury to
sink to 32o in order to have a frost.
There are substances that radiate the
heat much more rapidly than others,
and frosts have occurred even when a
thermometer six feet from the surface
of the ground indicated 470 as the
lowest temperature reached, and frosts
are frequent but not generally severe
at $40 and $50.
is THERE A REMEDY?
BY following out the foregoing in
structions the farmer can tell in the
evening if there is a probability OF
frost. Now how can he prevent the
freeze doing damage to his crop is the
question of paramount interest. Sew
eral practical men and some theorists
have advocated building smudges.
The smoke prevents the heat from
leaving the surface of the gronnd, and
thus prevents a frost temperature.
This is the saving quality and not the
heat caused by the fire. Generally
there is no wind when frost occurs,
but it is found when the smoke from a
fire on the north side Of a field will
spread out over it, but smudges can be
placed on all sides and tried. Major
Fleming, Captain Griggs and others
have prepared the smudges, ready to
| try the experiment.
WHEN SHOULD FIRES BE BUILT?
Another question arises. When is
the best time in the night to start the
fires? In the east .. m. is usually
the coldest hour. The weather Office
here shows that 6 q. m. is the coldest
hour at this time Of year. The heat
radiates faster before midnight than
afterwards, and the question arises,
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1891-08-06
The Dew Point and Frost.

A few days ago the Argus published
an extract from an article by D. N.
Harper of the Minnesota Experimental
Station, which appeared in the North
Western Farmer and Breeder. Much
interest was taken in this extract and
quite number of extracts have since
been made by large farmers. A repre-
sentative of The Argus therefore called
upon Observer Sherier, Of the Moor
head weather station, yesterday, and
discussed the situation and matters of
interest to the farmers, and the follow
ing is the substance of the interview:
THE DEW POINT
is that degree Of temperature at which
the moisture is deposited from the at
mosphere in the form of dew, if the
temperature be above freezi ng; or in
the form of hoar frost if it be below
that point. The dew point for the
coming twelve hours may be deter
mined by taking two thermometers.
one of which has piece of wet muslin
around the bulb, and securing the
readings of the two, then finding the
dew point in a table like the one given
in this table; for instance if the wet
thermometer registers 470 and the dry
one 60o the dew point will be 329 and
therefore. danger of frost before morn
ing.

ters SO as to tell at 5 or 6 o'clock each
evening whether his crop is Liable te

Last spring there were thousands
of acres of barley seeded in this
county which has attained an extra
ordinary growth and promises a
large yield. In fact no other crop
promises so magnificent harvest.
In connection with this self-evident
fact we wish to impress upon the
minds of our farmer friends the alb
solute necessity of saving this grain
in due season. It has been the Gus
tom heretofore to let barley take
care of itself. 1t is always the first
harvested and the last to be stacked
and threshed. consequently when
brought to the market it is found to
be discolored and bleached and
therefore unstable for everything
but feed. Now in order to create a
good market for barley every grain
must be absolutely pure, and there
fore must receive the best Of care
from the farmersfor there is no other
grain that will discolor and bleach
SO easily as barley. If we will ever
have a market for this cereal it will
be this fall and it behooyes every
farmer to see that his barley when
reaped, is Immediately placed in the
stuke and properly capped. Then
do not delay stacking until the last;
and when it is stacked see that the
caps are stacked by themselves.
They are almost certain to be dis
colored, and mixing with the good
barley, they must lower the grade
|of the whole, while if kept separate
they will do Just ~ well for feed
