TER that you misunderstood me in re-
gard to the culverts. They were all in
place, but the road was badly washed
most of them on both sides, showing
the weakness of the policy of making
too small culverts. The difference in
the expense saved by making small
culverts is more than balanced by the
expense in making the filling on each
side, especially when the earth has to
be hauled long distance.

er, the exclusive manufacture Of tin
plates. Of which 75.OO0.O00 pounds are
consumed monthly. and for which Brit
ish monopolists Iring the past year
pocketed more than $50. ZOO of Ameri-
can moaey for each working day
These men do not rely upon their own
neighoorhood for their supply of raw
material, but draw upon the tin mines
of Malacca and Tasmania for twO-third
of their consumption. The Mckinley
tariff imposes no duty on pig tin. and
the same sources of supply are open to
our manufacturers as to British tin-plate
monopolists.
Confronted with these facts. the free
trade attorney seizes upon his fayorite
weapon of higher prices-the same with
which he has always stood ready to
sand-bag every legislative measure
looking to buildings up at home of in
dustries in which foreigners have been
securing tie lions share of profits. The
new law adds one dollar and quarter
per hundred pounds to the former duty
on TIN plates. Assuming that this is
added to the foreign cost, it will in no.
wise affect the retail price of articles for
which it is used, unless INSCRIPTIONS
dealers make it pretext for imposing
upon customers.
All experience goes to prove that as
soon as domestic competition looms up
prices go down. Throughout the entire
list Of tariff-protected industries there
cannot be found an exception to this
rule, and it is the baldest recklessness
to predict a different outcome in the
case of tin plates. In fact. it is lively
realization that this will be an early re-
suit of the increased tariff on tin-plates
that occa sions the commotion among
foreign monopolists and their confed
crates in this country. Prices of all
other products of iron and steel-and
these col ltuto ninety-five per cent of
tin plates-have been reduced by half
wherever competition has been given
for footing; but the tin
plate barons Of Great Britain have pock-
eted increased profits by forcing pa
irons to pay old time prices without re-
gard to the cost of production. No
wonder they squirm when served with
notice that the end of their monopoly 10

A BALTIMORE BELLE.

Among the arrivals at one of the
hotels yesterday in Saratoga were two
stylishly dressed and beautiful young
girls accompanied by an elderly lady
and three servants. They registered
from Baltimore, and it was learned that
they were reigning bellies in that city.
The eldest sister had just entered her
twentieth year. Her friends rendered
her a delightful reception, and she was
the recipient of many unique and costly
gifts.
Her fance arrived upon the brilliant
scene driving PAIR of perfectly match
ed cream-eolored ponies, handling
cream-colored reins with gold buckles,
and attached to a cream colored dog
cart with gold trimmings deliberately
mounted. These he presented to the
lady of his choice; and at an early hour
the following day the chief designer Of
The Ne1O York and Paris Young Ladies'
Fashion Bazar received message from
the ladies TO produce within the next
five d Us four pale cream India silk
dresses of the same tint as that of the
gold-upped dog-cart. The proprietor
of The NeW York and Paris Y0ung
Ladies' Fashion Bazaar will spare no
pains to make these natty driving cos
tunes the most snowy and gorgeous of
the season. The design which struck
their fancy was that shown in Fig. ) of
the September number of The NeU York
and Paris Young Ladies Fashion Bazar.
But where that dress is designed IN pink,
their dresses are to be finished in pale
ecru. The frill on the sleeves of Flo. x

pearls set in gold buckles. The Sep

1t raised broad smile in Washington
when Representative Crisp said that the
contest for the speakership was friend
ly one. Mr.. Crisp may be friendly in
his feeling towards his opponents. but
they, or rather their representative are
certainly not friendly towards him,
when they are running around abusing
him and trying to create the impression
that he is the friend of all the democrat
ic lobbyists and that he will be under
their control if elected. This is partic-
ularly true of those who are working
for Mr.. Mills; they are doing everything
except charging personal c.ookedness
to bring dlscredit upon Mr.. Crisp, and
they are doing that by inference by say

FOR WINTER PASTURE.
A Suggestion of Considerable ImportaRs
to Western Farmers.

A Suggestion of Considerable Importance
to Western Farmers.
There are sections of the country
where this suggestion will have no
force. Where there is large pasturage
found in aftermath of the meadows it
is not needed. There will be those who
will say; II have plenty of straw and
cornstalk pasture, and l do not need
it." Others will have plenty of hay.
But in a large portion of the west
there is but little of the tame grasses.
The first frost will spoil the prairie
grass. There will be nothing green
then until spring. In some sections
water is scarce. There is an abrupt
change at the appearance of frost from
green to dry feed. Cattle will be
turned into the stalk fields to over
gorge themselves Then will come in
quiries as to what ails my cattle2 The
symptoms will be described. What
shall do for those still alive?
AS one preventive to this state of af-
fairs SOW rye now in the usual way, or
in the cornfelds, using the single Guilt
vator or drill.
We sowed last year about the middle
of September-too late-but it made
fair pasturage for everything from
horses to chickens until planting
time, when part of it was turned I'M
der for corn again, and part was left,
and fair crop was harvested NJ.

he is a Democrat-and he is not to be

Keepers Fail to Appreciate.
Many poultry keepers fail to appreci-
ate the value of fowl manure This
fertilizer is a very powerful one; in
fact 1t IS so strong and so fine that a
large quantity of loan or swamp muck
should be added. If only a small guam

the roosts daily, we avoid the pungent
odor, keep the air pure. and retain all
that is valuable in the material lthas
been said and written many times that
the fowl house should be kept clean
Now every poultry keeper cannot af-
ford to sweep and garnish things daily,
but if an absorbent be used the place
may be kept pure and an excellent
compost formed. Great sums are paid
for guanO every year, and it has been
estimated that 800 pounds of this sub
stance is sufficient for an acre Of corn
land. The manure of thirty fowls in
one year, mixed with four times its
bulk of swamp muck, is more valuable
than 100 pounds of guano This fertil-
izer is very quickly assimilated by

thoroughly disintegrated that, after
nourishing them, the residuum, with
the waste material of their bodies,
makes better fertilizer than any other
made on the farm. Anyone cultivat-

this compost tell, in the increased guam
tity and quality Of his products. Some
crops require quick growth in order
to be of the best quality; hence the

paid for it as garden fertilizer
