RECIPROCITY.

The reciprocity clause in the McKin-
ly tariff act is undoubtedly popular
among the manufactures of the United
States. 1t is expected to greatly in
crease our export trade with those ma
tions which may embrace its provisions.
The late announcement of a reciprocity
agreement between this country and the
government of Brazil has thoroughly
reused the English manufactures, at
Manchester, who declare that the meas
ure will inevitably result in cutting off a
large part of their trade, unless they are
given similar advantages. Under the
reciprocity clause, the president is en-
of any foreign nation are unfriendly or
the reverse. If he decides them to be
unfriendly, in thatc case, the law imposes
duty on articles of commerce, which
may be on the general free list, when
they come from country whose tariff
system is hostile to the introduction of
American products. In the case of
Brazil an agreement has been entered
into, by which that country admits free
of duty, or at modified rates, imports
from the United States of wheat, corn
and other grains, -four, meal, potatoes,
hay, salt, pork, hams, lard, coal, aggi-
cultural implements, nearly all kinds of
machinery, leather, manufactures of
cotton, manufactures of iron and steel,
wagons, carriages, and manufactures of
india rubber. In exchange for these
advantages, granted by Brazil, the
United States admits from that country,
free of import duty. sugars, molasses,
coffee and hides. Hitherto this country
has been buying nearly one third of all
Brazil had to sell, and nearly all her
coffee crop. OF the articles she now
proposes to admit, free of duty or at
modified rates, Brazil has been import
ing from all countries, on the average,
sixty million dollars worth yearly, while
of this sum the United States only
received an average of about six millions.
Of cotton goods alone, the Brazilian duty
which is reduced twenty five per cent
in favor of the United States, Brazil has
been buying from European manufac-
turers twenty million dollars worth an
nually, while from this country she only
received half million. The advantage
that this system gives to our 1nanufac-
turers is apparent, and unless Brazil
makes similar arrangements with other
nations the United States will have an
advantage over all European countries.

Top Dressins Gras. Lands.


A trial was made of spreading manure
upon the ground late in the fall, also of
leaving it in small heaps ON the land in
the fall and spreading it early in the
spring. A third trial was made of haul
ing the manure and spreading the last
of April Just before the grass started.
The manure was spread as evenly as
possible and bush narrowed. The best
result was, from, the land on which the
manure was spread the last of April
The poorest result was from the manure
left in heaps over winter and spread in
the spring.
Not realizing satisfactory returns from
either of these experiments a portion of
my land was planted two years to fodder
corn. The spring following the same
quantity OF manure as used in top dress
ing was spread and plowed under and
the land laid down to grass. With the
grass seed was sown sufficient quantity
of oats To smother the weeds the first
season. The result was that the crop of
oats and grass the lirst year was of more
value than the best crop of grass realized
from top dressing. It continued to be of
much better quality and quantity in the
four succeeding years.
Another experiment for producing
grass was made upon land broken up in
August. The manure was spread upon
the sod, thoroughly narrowed under and
the land laid down to grass. The result
of this experiment was fully as satisfac-
tory in quantity and quality of grass as
from the land planted two years to fod-
der corn and then laid down to grass.
These experiments, which have been con-
Quoted through series of ten years,
lead to the conclusion. that therei is much
loss in the fertilizing properties. of ma
nure applied to the surface of the earth.

Young Burnett's Choice Between
Love and Filthy Lucre.

There is gloom and portentous thunder
ings in the house of G. G. Burnett,
the well-known druggist For some time
his only son, George W.. who is a clerk
in the store and presumptive heir to
a very handsome prospect, has been asso-
ciatng more or less constantly with a
comely young and divorced woman named
Mrs. Lena Giantit. The relations between
the two had been noted by the elder Bur-
nett with many unpleasant misgivings, and
finally, fearing unhappy consequences I'M
less some check was put on the burning
fancy, he coTnered tie young man one night
and real him long extracts from the pa
terndl code on tiial obedience. He said to
the imDassiOned Romeo:
Look here, my boy, you're my only son
and heir. Some day you'll be the forum ate
possessOr of a cold half miliOn-it may be
million. Think OF it But mind, good
deal depends on yourself. l don't like the
company you keep. You'll have to mend
your ways; if you don't I'll cut you off with
out bean"
So saying, Burnett the elder strobe out
of the room and slammed the door behind
him. The young man was left alone with
his fancy and it was a desperate struggle
for the next two or three minutes between
Lena and dads half million. But it proved
q very unequal contest, as on all former &C.
casions Lena came off victor.
