German and American Hose.

Somebody has imposed upon our
credulous neighbor, the Herald, and it
says:
The Mckinley tariff bill has had a
disastrous effect on hosiery. 1t is al
most impossible to purchase a durable
pair of socks. The German manufac-
turerS, from whom we obtain by far
the largest part of our supply, have off
set the duties by cheapening the quail
ty. 1--WE get the same stocking as be-
fore in appearance" says a large i'm
porter, "but it is nothing but trash.
Instead of the two-thrcad yarns we
now get miserable single thread, with
hardly strength enough to hold to-
gether."
Our contemporaries informant had
forgotten that the recent returns from
the American Consulates General in
Germany show that our importations
of hosiery from the empire have fallen
off by considerably more than one-half
since the passage of the Mckinley bill.
The German supply of hose for Ameri-
can limbs fast is becoming a matter of
very little account, and the neither gar
ments made in America yearly improve
in quality and diminish in price. When
you buy hose ask for American made,
and you will get a cheap and good arti-
Gle, and the like is true as to most other
articles of wear. The less you inquire
for imported" goods the less is your
chance of being cheated, either in
quality or price.-Inter ocean.

THE Nebraska eight hour law has
been the cause of much trouble among
Omaha printers. An attempt was
made to enforce employing printers to
observe the law, but failed. An eight
hour law must be universal to be effect
i've, and then it would be difficult to
change the order by which our great
industrial system has been regulated
to the ten hour day.

In most localities where stone

they can be thrown, with but little fear
of ever having to be hauled again.
THE man who is dressed up, with a
clean shave and shirt, although no bet

knowledged much more than if he had
his cowhide boots and overalls on. So

IT is not sound practice for a Begin
ner to lay out large amounts of money
for his first herd. Better buy moder-
ately at the start and increase stock
as experience develops ability to handle
successfully. Loss of large amounts
invested cools mans ardor.
WHEN the idea of the utility of beauty

"THE skim milk party has much the
worst of the argument, but, being
largely in control of the factories, have
the practice all on their side. Hence
the scarcity of really good cheese; hence
the bad reputation fast fixing itself on

and Farmer.
THE farmer may be truly thankful
that his calling enables him to raise the
greater part of the food consumed by
himself and family. He should esteem
it privilege to grow as great va
riety as he can, so that his table may be
supplied with an abundance of whole
some dishes.
NOTWITHSTANDING the new tariff
regulations, which it was believed
would favorably affect the volume of

classes. In fact, importations for the
first quarter of this year practically
amounted to double those of the same

EVERY owner of swamp should
realize the fact that a ton of the air
dried muck may be worth from three to
five dollars for its fertilizing value, as
estimated for its nitrogen alone and as
compared with the same element in

used it as litter in stables have found
each ton of it to double the value of
the manure.
THERE is no sale for Guinea fowls
in market, but the Guinea fowl is,
nevertheless, one of the finest of all
table birds, possessing certain game
flavor that is not found in other fowls.
They have full meated breasts, and
possess but a small proportion of offal
compared with hens. If their real
value for the table were known, they
would sell at high prices. On the
farm they cost almost nothing, being
industrious foragers, and there never
was better nsect-eXterminator than
the Guinea. Outside of the eggs they
provide without cost, they destroy
thousands of insects, and though their
efforts in that direction may not be ap-
parent, yet the work goes on with them
constantly. They are never idle, be-
ing busily engaged from early morn
until night. Mirror and Farmer.

WE have never been able to set up
for our own guidance any satisfactory
standard in this matter. Many tim es,
when we have given credit, we have
soon after found that we gave it to the
wrong party; and more than once we
have actually been laughed at by
member of our own family, with
better memory than our own, for credit
ing another paper with what we had
written ourself, which had gone the
rounds, and returned to us unrecog-
nized.
THERE is one thing which some
times makes an editor who Qike us)
lives at distance from the place of
publication, and sees no "proofs,"
look like thief in his own eyes for a
minute, and mortifies him good deal
longer. A paper may have custom
of " leading" all the matter in certain
portions of its issues. When this is
done without credit, it has the appear
ance of bare-faced theft, unless the
word selected" appears. Matter set
"solid" is generally understood to be
selected, and this is the only resource
when the proper reference is doubtful,
or quite unknown. 1t is in agricultural
writing, particularly, that such diff
culties oftenest arise; for three-fourths
at least, of the practical teachings of
our art have been printed over and
over again, almost ad infnitum. 1t was
with this feeling that some time ago we
were impelled to request that nothing
whatever which may be taken from
this department should be credited to
us personally. So many of the editors
of our exchanges are our persona
friends that they doubtless, out of kind
dess, do not observe this wish. May
we say again that we should much pre-
fer to have whatever original matte
may be reprinted from this department
credited to this paper, rather than to us
personally? We have to thank Mr.
Crandall of the Tribune for always do
ing 80.

which we hope may never be applied
to you "He was a good farmer, and
took particular pains with his stock.
In fact, he seemed to be much more
solicitous about his blooded calves and
colts than about his own children.
Whether consciously or unconsciously,
he acted upon the theory that while
domestic animals need a great deal of
attention, children may safely be left
to grow up without much supervision. !"

On this matter an exchange remarks
"It is hardly fair to say that an idea
can be stolen. A thought once uttered
becomes common property. The state
ment of that thought-the dress, so to
Speaks private property, and should
have due credit always" Now in
principle this may be right; but the
question at once arises, How are we to
apply the principle? And, again, if we
may crib the thought, merely changing
the way it is expressed, have we not
really stolen that which is most to be
valued, and can it be very satisfying to
the thinker that in this way his ideas
are cavilierly used, and grave authority
has no word of disapprobation?

This "box" was built by my hired

WINGED that when the silo is in barn,
or outside where there is natural drain
age, stone foundation is of no es-
pecial value. A ten-inch sill, trenched
in the ground and filled in with thin
cement, is as strong as Joint of stone
and wood, and, if well-seasoned and
then painted with gas-tar, it will be as
lasting as the walls about it. / also
think that clay floor is preferable to a
cement one, especially if made kettle
shaped. If one fears that rats will bur-
row under such silo let him mix
coating of gas and tar and sand and
spread it over the floor an inch thick,
and then cover this with an inch of
clay, and no rat will put tooth or toe
nail into this connection. The reports
made to me by men at the Institutes
on all sides, East and West, this winter,
are that they are building good silos in
barns and outside structures for fifty
cents per ton, and as separate buildings
for S1.00. A 400-ton outside silo built
last year at the Minnesota asylum at
Rochester cost $685., complete. Where
men have their own lumber-as many
do-and build the silo themselves, as
any man can who can saw off board
square at the end and drive ten
penny nail, the figures given for one
hundred-ton silos are very low, repre-
senting the actual cost and outlay; but
where imaginary prices are credited for
labor which the farmer performs him.
self, the silo foots up more. In my
own case, for instance, the material
cost $40; but what did the silo actually
cost me, constructed as it was in odd
hours and rainy days?
