During few years previous to the
tariff Of 1883 the consumption Of wool
was greater In this country than in
Great Britain, but the act Of 1883 seri-
ously affected the industry in this
country and promoted that of Great
Britain to some extent, but less than
that Of Germany and other continental
producers who are now flooding En-
g,and with the cheap goods which
were sent here before the late revision
Of the tariff. The latest returns indi-
cate that the American manufacturers
will soon be consuming more wool than
Great Britain, and that the sales in
Boston thus far for the year 1851 are
30 per cent larger than during the cor
responding period last year.

Mr.. President, there will come a
time, and that, too, in the near future,
when the workingmen, farmers, me-
thanics, and miners, will tire of allie
glance to political parties which only
protect the interests of the rich. Al
ready the muttsrings Of their indigna-
ton and discomfort may be heard from
the prxiries of Kansas, from the wheat
fields Of Dakota and Minnesota, from
the corn fields Of Illinois, in fact, from
e*ry State In this Union. The stab.
nifty Of this Government depends upon
the honesty aud fairness Of the masses

Of citizens viii we go to find that hon
esty, that fairness upon which rest our
present and future prosperity.-Mc-

As each additional Indian reserva-
ton has been opened for settlement,
thousands of claimants rush with
eagerhess to gain foothold on the
lands. The public domain
is fast diminishing, but the vast army
of homeseekers has not lost man.
Within the past few weeks Congress
has taken final action in opening up
two Indian reserves in the Inland EN-
pire, Umatilla and Occur dAlene, the
one rich agricultural tract, the other
destined to add fame to the already
celebrated Occur d'Alene mineral
camps. The Nez Perez reservation
still lies shut up, half million of fine
farming and grazing lands under lock
and key. The allotment progresses,
however, and may be completed this
season. Vigorous action would open
the land for settlement next summer.
With the reservation opened, Nez
Perez county would stand easily first
in wealth and Importance in the
state.

The bill to repeal timber culture and
pre-emptlon laws was one of the last
measure to pass congress before its adj
journment. 1t is an act of wide reach
ing interest and effects in great meas
ure the claims ofmany western settlers.
1t not only repeats the timber culture
and presumption laws but it goes further
to modify some of the provisions of the
homestead law. It provides that home
steaders can't commute in six months,
but must live on their claims one year
before they can commute and pay the
customary 81 .25 per acre, outside the
railroad limits or $3.50 inside the rail-
road limits, and secure title to the
lands. Another important feature of
the bill is that which practically an
nuls all contests for lands which have
been initiated for final proof. Five
sixtbs of all contests now pending will
be squashed by this law and this will
work great hardships in many instan-
stances on deserving settlers who have
already mortgaged their lands to make
final proof. The act also provides for
the reservation sites for irrigation pur-
poses and gives right Of way through
all properties owned by the United
States for the building of irrigation
canals and bitches. The president re-
fused the measure unless the clause
providing for the cutting of timber on
mineral lands should be modified. This
was done under press at the last mo-
ments of the session. The modification
passed in the resolution gives the secre-
tary of the interior power to regulate
matters relating to cutting of timber in
all cases where the United States have
brought suit against people who have
timber. 1t will take about a
month for the interior department to
regulations by which land
officers can act. Instructions have
been received directing that no entries
be received until rules and regulations
can be made and forwarded. The main
provisions of the act will prevent the
seizure of and speculation in public
lands. All government lands now
must be taken by the actual settler.

BY the ratification of the Occur
d. Alene treaty an area of 1874 $50 acres,
or 2s9 square miles, will be coded by
the Indians to the United States and
opened to settle nent. The ceded lands
comprise the northern end of the reser-
walton and are bounded as follows:
Beginning at the northeast corner of
the said reservation, thence running
along the northern boundary line north
sixty-seven degrees twenty-nine min
utes; west to the head of Spokane river
to the northwest boundary corner Of
the said reservation; thence south
along the Washington line twelve
miles; thence due east to the west shore
of the Occur d 'Alene lake: thence south
'erly along the west shore of said lake
to point due west of the mouth of the
Occur d. Alene river, where it empties
into the said lake; thence in a due east
line until it intersects with the eastern
boundary of said reservation; thence
northerly along the said eastern bound
airy line to the place of beginning
The lands are mainly mountainous,
and valuable chiefly for their minerals,
timber and grazing, though few good
ranches are to be found in the valleys
and along the streams. In return for
this concession the United States pays
the tribe half million dollars, and
promises to ratify prior treaties and
fulfill the promises made therein. 1t
may add to public interest when it is
stated that complete title is really &C.
quired to nearly three million acres OF
land. The Indians now have left 49,
$40 acres, or nearly 1000 acres to each
man, woman and child. This area in.
cludes some of the most valuable agri.
cultural lands in the Northwest. As
a rule the Indians are well-to-do, self
supporting and peaceable. Many years
ago Catholic Priests came among them,
established missions, and taught them
how to till the soil and build comforta-

iDgs and the example set by the whites

FUTURE PRICES OF WHEAT.

The Men Who Produce Wheat for the
Next Generation Will Be the Rich Men.
Wheat is the wealthmaker of the
future. 1t has been too cheap to pro-
duce for twenty years. The other ex-
treme is upon us. Consumption of
wheat has overtaken it's production.
There are no more government acres
to subdue for it's production and the
increase in the population of the world
increases its consumption to over thirty
million bushels per year. In the near
future wheat will sell in the farmers
granaries at from two to three dollars
per bushel.
1t is gratifying to have this view sus-
tanned by such an eminent authority as
Charles A. Pillsbury, of Minneapolis,
who is at the head of the largest -four
mills in this country, if not in the
world. His position as one of the
largest cash buyers of wheat in Amer
lea makes it necessary that he should
keep thoroughly informed as to all the
conditions which are likely to affect
the market price of wheat and flour.
Probably no one in the United States
has made deeper study OF all phases
of the wheat question or is better in
formed as to all sources and statistics
of it's production, the relations of sup
ply and demand and all the conditions
of the market than he.
G. Wood Davis in recent elaborate
article in the Arena declared that the
consumption of wheat throughout the
world had already overtaken produc.
ton, and that at SO early date as 1895
the United States will have ceased to
export wheat, and, in fact, would have
to import it to supply its own deficiency.
The st. Paul Pioneer Press, stimulated
by the statement of Mr.. Davis, caused
Mr.. Pillsbury to be interviewed, and
the latter agreed with the Arena writer
that the consumption had in fact over
taken the production and that there
had been no increase of acreage OF
wheat to correspond with its increased
consumption in ten years.
This will be gratifying news to those
who have been producing wheat for the
last decade at ruinously low prices.
They ought to have a benefit and all
signs of the times are wrong if they
are not going to have it.

His intentions were good, but then
there is a famous winter resort that is
said to be paved with good intentions.
His attentions were always good, but
he was forgetful.
He overlook the young lady on the
street and after lifting his hat he
jammed his hands into his trousers

She looked uncomfortable and he no
ticed it at last Then he stopped short,
apologized for his thoughtlessness, and
threw his cigar away. She simply
bowed her acknowledgement of the
courtesy and they sauntered on for a
block or two. Suddenly he yanlxed his
hands from his pockets and let them
hang by his side. She turned and
smiled again. A little later he stopped
in the middle of a story, said Excuse
me" and stepped to the other side of
her, for which he got another nod and
smile. Perhaps they had gone two
blocks more when another idea occurred
to him. He said, Permit me-" and re-
lieved her of little satchel she was
carrying. A little further on he apollo
gized for not thinking of it before, and
took book she had under her arm.
There they reached her destination.
"Yes, his intentions are good" she
admitted later, "but he goes at it in
such a systematic way that couldn't
help feeling glad that the walk was not
longer"
"Why so?" asked her friend.
because he'd have gotten so gallant
in another four blocks that he'd have
been carrying me-"
"Do you really think SOP" asked the
friend.

PRODUCING NEW STRAWBERRIES.
AS soon as the most important blooms
on mother plant open, remove the sash
and fertilize with pollen from the
other plants, using camePs hair
brush; then replace the sash, which
should be removed permanently as
soon as the fruit is well set; the finest
only of these cross-fertilized berries
should be used for seed. At perfect
maturity wash the berries and wash
out the chosen seed; place the seed on
ice for few days, then SOW in a box
placed in agreenhouse or conservatory
and, when the plants attain sufficient
size, transplant to the open ground
These plants, with good attention and
culture, will be large enough to stand
the winter well with suitable covering,
and will speedily be in bearing condi-
ton. The principles involved in choos-
ing parent varieties are first, to choose
those having as many strong points
as possible in common; and, second,
when the mother variety lacks in some
one essential select the male parent
having that missing quality most fully
In short, aggregate in the prospective
progeny as many strong points as are
retainable OF course we cannot sum
up all the good points of both parents
and know we have that aggregate, but
possibilities lie in that direction. p.

GLOVER MAKES PORK.
The Sensible Argument of n Successful
Western Farmer.

The Sensible Argument of n Successful
Western Farmer.
1t is not eXtravagant to say that more
pounds of pork can be made from one
acre of clover than from the same area
of corn. The average yield of shelled
corn per acre isn't over so bushels and
~ pounds of pork per bushel of corn is
good production. This would make 600
weight of pork per acre. One acre of
fair clover will pasture eight hogs from
the time of starting in the spring until
the fall. A hog weighing 100 weight
when turned out will double his weight
by fall with no other food. This means
500 weight of pork against the 600
weight made by the acre of corn.
Whether it is best to feed hogs when
they are running to grass isn't yet de-
cided Some good farmers claim it
better to give no other food, furnishing
the stock with plenty of water and
salt. feed little corn every day and
think it best. / do not give enough to
make the hogs depend on it, but to neu-
tralize to some extent the gas in the
stomach caused by eating clover. 1t
should be fed regularly the first thing
in the morning, to pounds per day.
Many make a mistake in letting clover
get too large before turning in the hogs.
The swine should be placed in field as
soon as the clover shows fair bite. If
not it will outgrow them and become
too old to suit them They should have
free access to salt and ashes mixed and
kept under cover. l consider clover

that although no land was in sight,
